I finished sewing together a laptop sleeve recently, but completely forgot to add a nice inner zipper pocket for holding my earbud headphones. As a result I can't properly sew the zipper to the inside of the sleeve without sewing through to the other side of the bag as well.

I could tear the whole sleeve apart and sew the zipper pocket to the proper fabric side, but it occurred to me that maybe I could cut a slit opening in the fabric side I want to attach the pocket to, slip the pocket and zipper inside the opening, and then use a fabric glue like "Aleene fabric fusion permanent adhesive" to adhere the pocket to the inside of the fabric.

Would this work? I know that sewing it properly would probably be better, but I just want to know if this is a viable option given other people's experience with fabric glue. Thanks!

I have a brother who, by virtue of an immature and inconsiderate selfishness and a shrewdly concealed haughty, conceited, coldly intelligent and overly-judgmental arrogance, bitterly poisoned the well of our relationship and so prompted a terrible falling out a few years ago.

However, I recently received a present from him for my birthday, and to be honest though I feel regretful and sorry for how things turned out I also still feel rightfully concerned that, should this lead to some manner of reconciliation, he may continue his previously abusive patterns renewed and unabated, reintroducing into my life an unwelcome stream of captious criticisms and subtle manipulations that escalate into tragedies I'd otherwise prefer to avoid.

And unfortunately, I don't sincerely believe he's being apologetic or contrite in this gesture, but rather fulfilling what in his tragically corrupted thought-process is some manner of "duty", a sort of ego-massaging gesture to himself that he's taking some sort of "high-ground". I would like to think otherwise, I really would, but all my experiences thus far don't lead me to believe he's genuinely concerned with the happiness and well-being of others.

I would like to think these matters could be resolved by civil and rational discussion, but he's so stubborn and prideful that he's unwilling to admit into his consideration the scantest possibility that he could be wrong, except under rare circumstances where it may somehow serve to his advantage to do so (for example, to demonstrate to someone whose approval he seeks that he's magnanimous and generous in his discussions). If he stands nothing to gain from a discussion except the possibility of exposing a weakness or fault in himself, he will brutally and shrewdly employ every rhetorical weapon in his arsenal to obfuscate, redirect or twist the matter to his favor, such that a person is left with no choice but to withdraw with dismay and disgust. It is the classic case of someone concerned not with the truth, but with being right.

All said I think my life has significantly improved since I've cut him out of it. I'm just unsure whether I should accept this gift of his with the potential of reconciliation, or send it back.

I wish life were clear-cut about these things, but unfortunately it doesn't come with any manual. Any thoughts about this situation?

My 7 year old indoor/outdoor cat suddenly started licking herself a bunch this past month, almost every minute she turns to lick herself in different parts of her body (her legs, hind quarters). She used to do this before at a normal leisurely kitty pace, but her behavior has become noticeably different, it's almost as if something's bothering her and she can't help but to lick herself all the time. We took her to a vet that looked for fleas and they found nothing, and they applied the Frontline gel medicine to her back for flea and mosquito control about a week ago and did some of the annual tests, for which she came clear. But she's still doing it and I'm starting to get a little worried that it might be something else. There haven't been any major changes in her life or diet (nothing like introducing new animals or moving, it's been pretty much the same old around here). Could it be mosquito bites? I'm not sure anymore and getting kinda worried since it's lasted so long and doesn't seem to be going away, can anybody please help, I'd be so thankful if you could help my kitty!

I just moved into an apartment and I'm finding that my skin gets pretty itchy for maybe a half hour after I shower. When I shower at my folks home, though, I don't feel itchy at all. I'm using the same soap and shampoo I used at home, so can there be something to the apartment water that's causing the itch?

Basically, I have a compaq presario SR5125CL, and it has no cable ports/inputs/plugs in the back that allow for connecting to a television. I'm not very technologically savvy and was hoping there might be someone kind enough out there that might know if there's a way I can still hook my computer up to my telly ^__^

Looks kind of like an ancient egyptian hairstyle. Basically the hair around the head is long, straight and cut evenly, maybe a little past shoulder length, but in the front right above the eyebrows it's cut in a straight line so the person can see forward. So basically like a mop, with one section of hair cleanly cut out.
