  • Are K Cups safe for Peanut/Treenut Allergies?

    I know that the Hot Coco is a no-go for treenut allergies. All of the other products, however, are not marked for allergens at all. Obviously the flavored coffees, like Hazelnut, should be avoided just in case; but what about the other, non-flavored coffees? There seems to be little information about this on Keurig's webpage.

    Thanks,

  • Help finding the limit of a function.?

    Here's the function:

    Find the lim of 3x^3+3x^2/(x-5x^2) as x-> -inf

    I keep generating an answer of -3/5 by factoring out variables. However, whenever I graph the function, it seems like it should be positive infinity.

    Help?

    I am very interested in securing a private SAT tutor for a high school junior. Money isn't a concern; the quality of mentorship, however, is. What is the best approach when looking for a private tutor? Should I use the internet? Newspaper? Or another source.

  • Are my clothes safe to wear?

    I recently spent two weeks in a building that was infested with cockroaches. I didn't have a problem sharing a room with them, but I certainly would prefer not having them nest in my own home. Consequently, I took all of my clothing that I had brought with me on the trip (I threw away the luggage bags), and sprayed them with a store-bought bug-repellent that claims to be safe for animals and claims, also, to kill eggs. I've since washed and dried the clothes twice and am wondering if, after being sprayed with chemicals meant to kill insects, they're safe for me to wear?

  • On what Webpage could I design my own ring?

    I am in the market for a ring that necessarily has a custom component, that being a small torch. It matters not of what material the ring is composed, but I am not searching for anything that lavish. Where may I go purchase such a ring?

    ~Chris

    --By the by, the torch is a symbol for scholarship and directly relates to recent accomplishments made by a cousin of mine. The ring will serve as a nice graduation gift -- or at least I hope as much.

  • Six days ago my doctor diagnosed me with a Virus?

    Six days ago I went to my Primary Care's office, as I had been experiencing a very deep, phlegmy cough, a headache, and slight fevers (as well as aches and pains in my upper back and neck). She told me to just wait it out, take some Nyquil, drink orange juice and what not. It's been six days and the cough is still quite alive. Every breathe I take I can feel the vibrations in my lungs and chest, and the coughs are as phlegmy as ever. My fevers have gone away, but my sinus' are still clogged and my nose is running constantly. I am fed up with it and just want to feel better. What can I do?

  • How would I evaluate these equations?

    For each function, find F(2), F (0), AND F (-3)

    F(X)=√x+2

    Would these answers be wrong?

    F(2)=√4

    F (0) = √2

    F (-3)= √-1

    If they're wrong, please tell me why. Thanks, -Nick

  • I found a Holy Bible from 1883; is it rare?

    I found an old Holy Bible in my house. It's dated 1883, and in rough shape. The outside binding is okay, but the pages are falling out and there is water damage (all the text is readable and, while the pages are falling out, there is not one page missing). Is it rare?

  • I was sprayed in the face with ant/bug spray?

    My father was using an indoor bug spray, and he accidentally sprayed me with a little of it. It got on my face, but didn't make contact with me eyes. I may have gotten some in my mouth (I am not sure). I took a shower literally two-to -five minutes after it happened, and washed off my face. Seeing as the solution is designed to kill bugs, I was nervous that it may affected me somehow: will it?

  • I am unable to change my laptop's background image.?

    In December of this year, I purchased a Dell Inspiron laptop at a Best Buy outlet store. Having a few problems with a nasty virus, I brought the machine back to Best Buy, which has a Geek Squad station, and had them wipe the virus out. Now, ever since the fix, I can't, even as the owner, change my background image. One of the best features of this machine is it's wonderful HD display, and I wish to make ample use of it. How do I fix this? I created another user account and tried my hand with it, only to find that everything works fine. It's just my Owner's account that has a few bugs. Also, aside from the background issues, after the Geek Squad fix I lost my doc with all the jumpy icons. I don't care about that, but maybe that information helps.

    Thanks!
