  • If I plug my AMERICAN charger into a BRITISH adapter in IRELAND, will the voltage blow up my electronics?

    I'm leaving for a trip from the U.S. to the U.K. in a few months and I bought British outlet adapters.

    I arrive in Ireland first, then head out to England a week later.

    American outlets are--I think--110 to 120 volts, and U.K. outlets are about 220 to 240 volts.

    I don't want to use my iPhone as a guinea pig for the voltages.

    The adapters I already bought look a little like the ones in the link below...\/

    <http://image.dhgate.com/albu_279285402_00-1.0x0/eu...

    So, my questions are:

    Will the British adapter work in Ireland?

    What does "grounded" and "ungrounded" mean?

    Will I fry my electronics if I try to charge/use them?

    If you are British, Irish, American, or are just a world traveler who knows everything about anything, your answers will be helpful!

    7th and 8th and 9th grade it got a little out of wack

    i was anorexic really bad then and my dr. said thats messing me up

    i was on the pill in 10th grade

    i could almost predict the MINUTE id get my period on the pill.

    id forget a day or two every so often

    i just stopped taking them over a year ago (now im in 11th grade)

    i didnt have a period until FOUR MONTH LATER after that!!

    i did get them every 4 months, then it shortened to 3, now its about every 2 months

    why has it taken over a year to get close to a "normal" cycle?

    was it the anorexia?

    should i eat more?

    is there something wrong with me?

    my mom had some problems in that area, could that affect me?

  • If I order Blu e-Cigarettes online & have them shipped to my home, will the package say "BLU E-CIGS"?

    I live with my boyfriend and he isn't too keen on me smoking, so I was wondering if I sneakily ordered these online and get the package in the mail, will there be a huge label saying "BOUGHT FROM BLU E-CIGARETTES ONLINE"? Or will it just say, like, "shipped from Boise, Idaho to your address" (or where ever they ship it from.)

    My main question is: Can I order Blu E-Cigs without getting caught?

    for example, when I order stuff off of Amazon, I know there is no trace of an "Amazon" logo on the package. Will the same apply for the Blu E-Cigs?

  • My parents have $70 in my brother's college fund and I don't even have one set up! What do I do?

    I want to be a nurse, so I NEED an education after high school (I'm a junior now.)

    I have $3,000 in the bank right now but that won't even cover 1 year at a community college/junior college.

    What do I do? Neither of my parents make like $1,000,000/year. together they make maybe less than $80k, but I'm not 100% certain.

    My dad just bought a new house, car, and boat; my mom is thinking about getting some work done on her face.

    Is it just me or does this seem like a giant middle finger to me? They have always told me to stay in and study and don't go out and keep my grades up so I can go to college. So now I've lived a sheltered life and have NO was of getting into college.

    Does anyone have any plans for me?

    Like, scholarships, grants, loans, etc? What's my best option?

  • What color should I dye my hair?

    my hair is naturally dark brown, almost black.

    i have brown eyes

    and white skin with pinkish undertones.

    i was thinking about dying the underneath part or my tips a different color.

    i was looking at splat colors

    which one would look best on me?

    there is pink, red, purple, dark blue, light blue, teal, blonde, and black.

    obviously not gonna dye my almost-black hair black, so thats out.

    and i hate the color blue, so thats out too.

    im leaning towards red (fave color) or blonde (because that looks cool with dark hair).

    do you think my dark hair will take that color? or will it make it an ugly color?

    please, i need advice from people who have used Splat! or Splat!-like products...

    thank you!!

  • I NEED HELP! I'M SICK AND MY PARENTS WON'T TAKE ME TO THE DOCTOR OR E.R. WHAT DO I DO?

    -About a month ago: I fainted in school (hit my head on a table and the floor on the way down, by the way), was constantly light-headed, dizzy, and a few more things that I forgot.

    -For the past few weeks: I've been having chest pains (sharp, painful, and sudden), difficulty breathing, and difficulty sleeping.

    -I thought I could "just suck it up" like my dad always says, but now it is interfering with my sleeping habits and my school work.

    -I looked up my symptoms on that Web MD website, and some serious medical problems showed up and there were about 20 pop-up boxes that told me that if I have these symptoms, I should seek immediate medical attention.

    -But here I am, a month later... and I still haven't seen a single doctor or physician or nurse or pharmacist or anyone!

    -I beg my parents to take my to the doctor but they are being selfish and refuse to take me because they are convinced it is just heart burn (of COURSE they are right, I mean they're bankers for god's sake! They know anything and everything about medical issues.)

    -I want help, but I don't know what to do... CAN SOMEONE HELP ME!!?? :(

  • WHICH COLLEGE SHOULD I CHOOSE?

    -I live in the Chicago area.

    -I get mostly B's in school.

    -I have not taken the SAT or ACT exams.

    -I'm half way through my sophomore year of high school.

    -I have to go to college somewhere in Illinois.

    -I want to be a REGISTERED NURSE (R.N.) when i grow up.

    -I'm going between Illinois State University (I.S.U.), Northern Illinois University (N.I.U.), and Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (S.I.U.E.) in that order.

    -I like that I.S.U. is urban and farther away (I don't care for the country or wooded areas); I don't like that N.I.U. is close to my home, but I like how great of a school it is said to be; and S.I.U.E. is said to have a GREAT Nursing Program, but I think it is not as academically challenging as I.S.U. or N.I.U.

    -I am open to other suggestions as to which university would be best for me.

    -THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!!! (:
