  • How to exercise without hair problems?

    My daughter has mixed race hair that is super thick, kinky and gets frizzy and tangled if she gets it wet or sweats. So I want her to get exercise, but she's been avoiding any kind of exercise and getting unhealthy because she doesn't want to mess up her hair. How can she exercise and get healthy without hair problems? Nobody can be healthy if they don't sweat a little to stay healthy.

  • Polyamory: Why do I feel so hurt? see details?

    Please only answer if you are currently involved in polyamory. I'm new to polyamory, been dating my poly partner for 6 months now and trying to wrap my head around her choice to be polyamourous. Why do I feel so hurt when I think about my partner with another man sexually? Is it because I want to be able to fulfill her in every way, and if she needs someone else to do this, then I will never be enough for her? Why does it hurt so much? I want to get past that. I've thought that maybe I would not feel hurt if I also have other deep and fulfilling relationships besides her but I don't think that would help stop the hurt if that were to happen. Any Advice or insight?? 

  • Relationship Poll: What would you do?

    You are back to dating after many years of being in a bad relationship and you just want to keep it casual, meet new people, make new friends, have fun and not get into anything deep for a year or two at least. Then you meet someone that you have an undeniable connection with, you hit it off incredibly well and over the next few months as you date, you fall in love deeper than what you want. You want this person to stay in your life and definitely don't want to lose them but at the same time you still feel the desire to date casually and not get too deep too soon. You want this person to stay in your life for the rest of your life for sure and you can see a real possible future spouse.

    - Do you date exclusively and monogamously this person and risk feeling like you're in it too deep too soon and risk feeling like you wish you were still able to date other people? Knowing that this will make you feel like you have a wandering eye a little bit with the "what if's" in your head?

    - Or do you risk losing this person and tell them that you still want to date other people casually for a year or so just so you can be in a healthier emotional place and know that you are ready for something more serious after that.

  • Does my stock compound if I don't sell the increases it gains?

    I don't know trading terminology so forgive the laymen's terms. For instance if I buy $5000 in stock and then every time it reaches $6000 in value, I sell $1000 and take the cash. Am I profiting the same as if I just let it keep increasing or am I losing money because it would compound on its own increased value.

  • Can I install wordpress on a subfolder and NOT include the subfolder in the url? Need to keep root index page as home page though.?

    We have an online application that was developed in Python and it is our home page, its for a booking scheduling system. The rest of the pages for the website are all wordpress except for the home page. Currently the wp pages are installed on a subdomain that is having the subdomain stripped out by a proxy server so that it is presented as the root domain path.

    I would like to be able to install wordpress on either the root and still assign the application page as the home page instead of wordpress, OR install it on a subfolder and not include the subfolder name (/subfolder name/page name) in the url.

    Is there a way to do either one of these so we can get rid of the proxy server?

  • I'm woodworking for the first time. Whats the best way to get my hardwood table top more flat?

    I m making a table out of some free hardwood I got, I think its hickory because its very heavy and hard as a rock. But the boards, 1.5"x4", I have connected flat edge to edge with a Kreg jig and screws, but there is a 1/4" to 1/2" difference when checking for flat with my straight edge. Especially on the end board, it curves up starting at the joint.

    I ve tried a plane, but I m not very good at it. Is there another way to make it more flat, because sanding this with my hand held belt sander with a 40 grit barely makes a dent.

    The joints were put together with the jig and wood clue, and clamped as tight as I could get them and layed as flat as I could get them. Any suggestions especially on how to flatten or bend the end board down a bit more?

  • I do programming under my own LLC and have a question regarding expenses on taxes.?

    I do programming under my own LLC and was wondering if some of my projects that ran over budget and I had to work free for a number of weeks, if that can be counted as a loss or an expense.

    Sometimes I have other programmers I pay to work for me, that is obviously an expense, but if I myself am working and tracking hours but not getting paid, is that a loss, expense or neither?

  • A remediation contractor has been taking out wet ruined pieces of my home and in the process broke some plumbing...?

    A remediation contractor has been taking out wet ruined pieces of my home and in the process broke some plumbing and says he has no plumbers on staff to fix it, but says he will reimburse me the amount a plumber will cost or credit my bill that amount.

    Now he wants to come and get all his expensive drying machines out of my house. Is it legal for me to say, "you can have them back after you hire a plumber to fix what you broke"?

  • I really really want answers on the truth about homosexuality and God. I'm looking for bible scholars to please read this and respond?

    and respond with any corrections that are based entirely on scripture and not opinion.

    Read Here: https://goo.gl/X3vYmj

    It claims that the scriptures about homosexual behavior are mis understood by the common man and should not be taken literally, and it gives great examples and makes a strong arguement. I want to know the truth, either way I don't care. Just GODs truth.

  • Help me finish this thought to help teach?

    What do you do when God falls silent? People were asking this exact same question for over 400 years before Jesus showed up. God seem to stop talking to prophets and not a word from God was written during that time. The nation of Israel was wondering, where is God, and why isn t he talking to us like he used to?

    Does that sound familiar? It does to me. I ve had this question from others and myself. So what do we do when God falls silent?

  • Got a nice telescope, now what?

    My daughter received a nice telescope with automatic star finder that will locate things for you to view. So we used it and everything we viewed was pretty much the same, stars, planets, nebulas, galaxies. "oh look another light in the sky" was pretty much the reaction.

    So what are we supposed to do to make it more fun and interesting rather than just going from tiny light to large light to tiny light again and again?

    How can we make this a hobby that fun and educational?
