Joy

I had a dream that my husband and I were staying at a large hotel and had rented some specialized suite that gave us more or less a whole wing. I left his room and walked a path to mine, which was basically just a bed in a large, beautiful barn. The front of the barn was entirely open and there was a beautiful early evening mist in the forest beyond. My dog had followed me and was circling the bed to find a spot to jump up with me. I leaned over to grab the phone to call my husband to tell him to come join me. Before I could reach the phone a lion came darting in from outside. His ears were pinned back and he moved like lightning. He tackled my dog and, I assume, killed her in an instant. I woke up screaming. Does this mean anything?

I drive a 1998 Honda Passport. About 2 months ago the AC went out, then the Radio was turning on and off on it's own. About 5 minutes later my car was dead in the street and had to be towed. The Mechanic I took it to replaced the battery, a belt, and the Alternator. Today it did the same thing, with the same pattern.

After looking for an answer in a number of Forums and online answer pages, I found that a lot of Passport owners have this issue. Many replace spark plugs, alternators, batteries, crankshafts, etc and still do NOT see an improvement. I cannot afford to rebuild this car trying to fix this.

Does anyone know why Passports tend to do this? Is there a specific thing I should be aiming my attention at?

It was working and then about 20 minutes later it stopped. I have had this computer for 2 years with no problems. When I click the icon I get the spinning beach ball thing that signifies to wait and the icon bounces like it will open, but it never does. Attempting to open a document independently yields the same results.

I am 25 going on 16. I'm not sure what exactly it is that I do that makes me immature, but I know that I am. Steps that I have taken to improve my maturity is to read and watch more adult focused media. This is not explicit material, just material with an adult audience. I have also begun working on more emotional self control. These have helped me to make some improvements, but not enough.

Someone recently told me that I may actually have a mental or developmental disorder. Should I find a doctor that specializes in that sort of thing? I need control of this and I'm certain it will lead to more control of my life. What do I do?

I have a pretty bad headache that's been coming on for about 2 days and is really bad today. My nose is congested and I can feel stuff running in the back of my throat, but my nose itself is not runny. My throat is VERY sore and feels similar to the pain I had when I had my tonsils removed. I'm not nauseous or vomiting, but I do have diarrhea every 3 hours or so. The first symptom was the diarrhea.

What do I have?

Not the sort of change that happens suddenly like mood swings. I'm looking for possible explanations for extreme change of CHARACTER. A person who goes for melancholy to bubbly, ditsy to depressed, patient to irritable, etc.

I looked up small claims court, but in my city, that is a money-related suit only. I need to take my apartment complex somewhere for mismanagement issues and to be released from my lease. Which court is that? How would I find a lawyer appropriate and affordable for such a court?

I just got a new apartment the other day and was surprised to find 2-3 roaches running across every wall late at night when I had not seen a single one during the viewing earlier that day. They all look like the classic roach, in shape, but they vary in size and are much smaller, and the smaller they are the lighter their color. The bigger they are the darker and more red their color gets.

My mother has told me that it is best to move out IMMEDIATELY. The complex is trying their best. They have called out an exterminator who apparently won't make it until Wednesday and have set up a couple of bug-bombs until then.

I hate roaches. It's only one of two insects that I absolutely cannot handle. I can't even kill them, the act is so disgusting to me that I vomit whenever I have to do it. Living with them, and continuing to fight with them is NOT an option.

Will the apartment office's attempt to get rid of these things be successful or should I listen to my mother and pick up and move out?

I'm looking for a number of good statistics on the market and distribution trends of the weight loss industry in the U.S. and her states. If anyone knows how and where to find these statistics so that I can reference them again, I would very much appreciate it.

In my last couple weeks of college, right before I graduated, I received 2 traffic tickets for separate reasons, and in 2 separate counties. Because of inexperience, naivete, and school, they were not taken care of properly. Come to find out later that there are warrants out for my arrest in 2 other counties from tickets I had THOUGHT were handled in other counties. My wallet was recently stolen and my license needs renewed. I need this to get employment now as well. I want to pay these tickets and take care of this issue, I just don't want to go to jail for it. Should I get a lawyer?? What do I do now?

I have seen a number of make your own beer sets in department stores and in catalogs. The person I am shopping for this christmas has a love affair with Guiness. Is there a make your own beer set that is Guiness specific?

I've recently lost a lot of weight, and the one thing that disappeared fastest was my chest. I don't want to put silicon in my chest, gain more weight, or do the stupid suction cup things, but I would like them to grow. I'm really into organic stuff, so the more natural the suggestion the better. I don't mind taking medications or hormones, within reason.

Please refrain from silly answers like: "Get pregnant," serious answers please. Thanks!

We are having an event at school, and part of the event is a take off of the Girl Scout organization. To raise money, we were wanting to sell our own cookies in little mock girl scout boxes. We are all baking our own cookies, but we need somewhere near 500 boxes that are shaped like the girl scouts, but that we can print our own images on. We don't want to spend much more than $100 on these boxes. Any ideas where we can find this?

I have apparently offended the mother/family of the man I love and it is keeping us from having any sort of relationship. I have been told that it is a cultural dilemma. They are a Mexican-American family and are holding a grudge against me. This issue has lasted for months, and just gotten worse as time has passed. I love this family with all my heart! They are the coolest people I have ever met! How do I mend my relations with them as individuals, as well as my relations with them as a family unit?

I am considering building a Vacuum forming machine myself, but I don't want to get started if the plastic is impossible to come by. I've looked on the internet, but everything I have found is rather expensive, and the descriptions are vague. What kind of Plastic do I need and where can I find it inexpensively?

I heard about a vitamin drink over the radio years ago that claimed to have properties to it that could result in the drinker growing taller. It also claimed that it would work on anyone up to their mid-twenties. Two of my younger siblings and myself could all use it. We are looking for an alternative to growth hormones. Thanks so much!

I have been at this BMI since I was 9 years old. My organs etc, are all healthy. I have a semi-active exercise routine/lifestyle, and a decently healthy diet, so I'm kinda at a loss. I refuse to stay at this weight, but don't know what to do. HELP?!
