Is it possible I broke my hand?
Err I punched a wall and immediately it hurt a lot which I thought was pretty normal. Then it started to tighten and it felt kind of like pins and needles. I looked at it and it was really swollen. When I touched it I didn't feel intense pain but it felt kind of like a burning sensation which made me think just the skin or muscle was irritated. The next day I'm looking at it and most of the back of my hand as well as my last three fingers are swollen and dark but not purple. It feels uncomfortable to make a fist or stretch out my fingers but that might just be swelling? It looks like my last two knuckles aren't there and there is a purple spot over my pinky knuckle. Also there is a red purple spot between two knuckles. I don't want to risk messing up my hand for later in life but I also don't want to go to the hospital and find out nothing is wrong. Is it just bruised?
2 AnswersInjuries6 years agoWhich color jansport backpack?
I'm a girl going into my freshman year of high school. I decided I want a jansport because I want a durable backpack that is also stylish. I know a lot of people have the black superbreak or another color, but I don't think the superbreak is big enough. So I settled on the right pack.
http://www.jansport.com/shop/en/jansport-us/just-a...
I don't want to get a color that is too boyish. I thought I could get black because it would go with everything I wear, but I'm worried it's too masculine. Any suggestions?
5 AnswersFashion & Accessories7 years agoCool things to make?
I am really bored. I want to do something nice for a friend, and I thought making a gift would be the way to go. I searched the internet and got results ranging from cupcakes to diy iphone cases to hover shoes. Tbh all those things sound cool to me. Anyway, it should be something I can make in 10 hours or less and supplies should cost less than $100. It should also be fun for me to build. Whatever I do I want to put a cool twist on it like if I just make some cupcakes, I want to make fantabulous above and beyond not-your-typical-cupcake cupcakes like these: http://mail.newtoncountryday.org/~malejandro/TechC...
although those aren't too special. Hover shoes are on the right track but I don't think I could build anything that actually is fun to use. If anyone knows any tech stuff or ideas like that, please let me. Really I just want someone to give me a big list of cool presents to make, funny stuff works to. Honestly if I build something cool and my friend is just like "wtf is wrong with you?" that's fine because I want to do something tomorrow besides marathon my favorite netflix shows. Thank you everyoneeee! (and sorry for my weirdness I'm tired)
3 AnswersHobbies & Crafts7 years agoProfessional actors - tips on first steps?
If anyone who is in the business could give me advice, it would be appreciated. *Mini backstory you can skim through* I'm another teenage kid (14) who's interested in acting. When I was younger parents wanted to get me into commercials but I'm glad they didn't because I would have wanted to make the choice myself rather than getting tossed into the industry. I got the idea to try to be an extra in NYC (I'm close) to see what it's like to be on set. So I called this woman who lives in my town and has a son in my school who is an actor. She is a former actress herself and she was friendly enough to give me her number and just talk to me a little bit about what acting is like. She said that I had underlying higher ambitions and she's right. I went to acting classes in the city for I think 6 weeks and I had a lot of fun with that, so this year I think I'm going to take more classes. *End of backstory*
Basically, I've had this desire to try acting for a long time. I don't think it's always been for fame but maybe it is and I'm not realizing it. At this point, I think I want to work really hard at it to see if I can do it. I don't want to lose this opportunity to find a potential passion. My parents aren't really guiding me but they're supportive, so I've been trying to do research and paperwork (child permit) myself. So do any of you have advice or a few basic steps to get started? I don't expect to be famous, but I'm interested in seeing if I can act in TV/movies. Thanks!

1 AnswerOther - Internet7 years agoWhich electric guitar is best for me?
I've been playing guitar for a while. I want a guitar that's fairly easy to play. I prefer light guitars but I wouldn't mind a heavier one. I was thinking I'd get a Les Paul style guitar or a Strat to keep it simple. My budget is about $300. I play pretty much every genre of music. I like playing softer, sweet stuff like Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran, Alternative Rock, Rock, Metal, etc. Suggestions for a guitar?
1 AnswerOther - Music7 years agoHow to get professional vocals with effects (Audacity)?
I want to know if there's a way for me to get vocals that sound somewhat like the music I hear. For example, in Miles Away by Memphis May Fire the vocals sound clean, but in some way they sound smoother. I purchased a good microphone and pop filter so what are some simple effects in Audacity to improve my sound? Thanks!
2 AnswersSoftware7 years agoHow do people commit suicide?
Hi I'd like to know the methods that people use(in order from most used to least used) to commit suicide. This is a serious question and I don't want joke answers as suicide is not something to joke about. In health at school we were having a unit on suicide and I wanted to know what is a risk (such as having a gun is considered a risk of suicide) thanks everyone
4 AnswersPsychology7 years agoChristmas present ideas?
Hey everyone and happy holidays! My family is getting kind of annoyed with me because I haven't asked for anything for Christmas yet. They all have asked for things and I have ideas for what to get them, but I have no idea what to ask for. I don't particularly need anything really, so I have no reason to ask for anything. The one idea I got was to ask my dad to make a donation to this charity: http://donate.worldvision.org/OA_HTML/xxwv2ibeCCtp...
He doesn't really want to do that. Any ideas for something I could ask for? (the price doesn't have to be THAT low because my dad can usually find things for a good price, and other family members can chip in). I feel really selfish for asking for present ideas for myself haha when most people are looking for presents for other people! Thanks everyone!!!

I just sold my CYMA AKS-74U (CM045A) to my brother because I want to buy a new airsoft AEG. I need a gun that is durable, lightweight, and looks really cool.

I need some ideas for a cool gun to get or external upgrades to make a gun look really cool. If anyone could give me a link to pics of cool custom guns that would be great. Thanks!

2 AnswersOther - Food & Drink8 years agoAnorexia recovery methods? (MinnieMaud)?
Please only answer if you have personal experience recovering using this method or know someone who has recovered, or if you have real evidence based knowledge on recovery.
On youreatopia.com I found this method that involves consuming 2500+ calories a day with no exercise and just continuing with that. According to their set point theory, if you keep eating around 3000 calories, sometimes more if you feel like it, your weight will eventually Balance out at the weight you were meant to be, usually your pre-ED weight. Does this make sense, or would the person become obese? Would they be able to maintain a healthy weight on 3000 calories a day?
3 AnswersOther - Diseases8 years agoWeight gain or loss in anorexia recovery?
I have heard that when a recovering anorexic ups their calories to around 1500 that different things can happen. I have heard that sometimes a recovering anorexic will continue to lose weight. I have also heard that they gain weight very rapidly on an amount of calories that a normal person would lose weight on. Which is true? Can a recovering anorexic go back to eating a normal amount of calories, not a weight gain amount, and maintain their weight? Thanks!

I realized that a lot of the time in my house we have light ice cream.
