  • My husband & I recently started cleaning public bathrooms at our local recreation areas.?

    Before I begin the cleaning process, I spray the toilets inside & out; as well as, the sinks & faucets with a strong mixture of bleach and water. I allow this mixture to sit a while to kill all the germs before I wash them away. The problem I have is the inside of the toilet bowl is stained with what appears to be rust. Is there anything I can use to get these toilets sparkling clean. I want a product that works rather quickly as I don't have the time to wait. Any information would be helpful. Thanks, 2D

  • Help with unemployment appeal argument?

    I was receiving my UI benefits when I returned the university to increase my chances of gainful employment. After I reported my return to school, it was determined that I was ineligible to continue to receive benefits. This determination was based on the premise that one can't receive UI benefits while working on a bachelor's or master's degree. When I enrolled (after being out of school 10+ years) I wanted to pursue nursing, which is an Associates program and very competitive. My adviser said that I could take courses in my first two terms back that satisfy both the nursing degree and psychology degree and since I'm a senior I was advised to declare psychology as a major because it's mandatory to declare a major. I was advised that I could change when the nursing program accepts me. I do also have an Associates of Arts degree. How do I articulate the argument to the Administrative Law Judge so that the ALJ would render a determination in my favor. Please I need creative and solid arguments. Thanks everyone.

  • How physically demanding is it to be an RN?

    I'm considering going back to school to get my degree in nursing. The only problem I have is, I've been diagnosed with

  • My step-daughter is repeatedly getting staph infections.....?

    she's been to the several doctors over the past year or so and taken several antibiotics and nothing has worked. I remember my mother giving us sulpher & cream of tartar tablets or cream of tartar. Do any of you remember taking any of those to "clean your blood" to purify it to rid your body of the staph toxins? I'm at my wits end with her constant infections. Any ideas or comments would greatly be appreciated. 2D

  • How to care for African American Hair?

    My husband & I are getting foster children. Some of those children could be black children. I've heard that black hair care is different than white hair care. We typically wash our hair daily with shampoo & conditioner. How often should I wash and what products should I use for the black children? I don't know anything about relaxers or perms or if those are necessary. I want to keep most things the same as in their previous homes, but if they're small children they won't be able to communicate those needs or special products to me. We're excited about expanding our family but we want to educate ourselves so we can plan for easy transitions for the children and us first. Good luck. 2D

  • Large breast tumor, any similar stories or advice?

    I have a lipoma (fatty tumor), at least that's what the doc thinks, on my breast. It's rather large & he may not be able to remove, it if that happens he'll have to do a masectomy. It's on my good breast, I've had breast reduction and lost sensitivity in my other breast. I know my breasts don't define who I am as a person, but yet I'm feeling depressed about how my breasts will look & feel. In fact, I'm saddened by it. Luckily I don't have a history of breast cancer in my family & the doc thinks it isn't cancer. I was wandering if anyone else has had a similar experience or if anyone can give some encouragement. I know I'll be fine b/c my father's church & my friends are praying for me. I'm just hoping for some positive feedback. Men feel free to advise as well. My husband & some of my male friends are really loving & supportive and I really feel blessed, but I can't shake this depression. Thanks. 2D

  • Need a Good Country & Pop Songs?

    I've entered into a singing contest. I've already won on the local level and I will be progressing to regionals and hopefully state, then nationals. I have an alto voice and I sound somewhere between Reba McEntire and Wynonna Judd. At least that's what everyone tells me. I have a decent voice although I'm not a professional. I need good songs to sing both country & pop. I sang Fancy but I want other songs just in case there's a tie. I have to have at least 3 songs prepared. I want awesome songs. Ones that stand the tests of time and define and artist or era. I'm also thinking of Hit Me With Your Best Shot. Please give me ideas. I don't want anything that's too high. I like Reba, Wynonna, Tanya Tucker, Loretta Lynn etc. And for pop, I like 70's & 80's music. I was also thinking of Like A Virgin too. Any ideas are welcome, they just have to be "Great Songs".

  • How can I back-up my karaoke cd+g's legally?

    I have karaoke dics I'd like to make copies of. I play a lot of shows & I want to make copies of the cds, b/c they get scratched and I think it'd be cheaper to copy them rather than having to buy a new cd for 1 scratched song. I don' t want to sell them and I want it to be legal. I'd also like to burn the songs in a certian order and burn the ones I use the most so I don't have to pack as many cd+g's. I used to use the software alcohol 120%, but since I have a new computer, I'm wondering if there is another brand of software I could use. Thanks
