I just made eggs, and my electrical stove caught fire. Why is this?
I was using the stove top and it's electrical. It never has done this before. It started a fire underneath the skillet. I got some water quickly and poured it on top and it went out. But why did it catch fire? Should I be worried? Also I smelled smoke before it did, but that's a given.

1 AnswerOther - Health1 decade agoWhat would you do if you didn't get a call for an interview and your friend did?
Me and my friend both applied together for jobs. I got told that this was bound to happen from other people and not to get hurt if she got chosen over me for a position. The thing is I didn't even get a chance to prove myself because they never even called me for an interview. I actually have an advantage over her. She got in a car accident and had to drop out and now she's going back to school, so I have a diploma and she doesn't. We both have about the same amount of job experience. Also she's White and I'm Hispanic and this is the only thing I can think of why they called her and not me. It's not her fault I would never be bitter towards her, but it still hurts a lot. It's not a competition or anything but why wouldn't they call me back?
1 AnswerEconomics1 decade agoLegality for attorneys only?
Yesterday I was shopping at a store and while in the fitting room I turned a skirt on the fitting room hanger to see the back and the price tag sliced my eye. I had to sit down for a long period and than I went to the bathroom to put water in my eye, it initially felt better but still hurt a lot, but I ignored the pain and tried to forget about it. The next day when I woke up I was in horrible pain, and I went to the doctor and was told my cornea had a deep cut and right now I'm on painkillers. Should I call the store? Should they pay for this?
5 AnswersLaw & Ethics1 decade agoWhat computer virus do I have? Help!?
My computer goes SUPER slow. Like right this instance I have to wait for the computer to recognize what I'm typing. That's not the bad part. I'll get popups on Firefox and I have it blocked, so it shouldn't be happening at all. Another thing, I'll get a sound like I just got an instant message on Yahoo when I didn't. Or A sound of a thing popping up on Windows and nothing shows on my screen. My icons on the desktop will disappear and than come back Sorted, when they weren't in the first place! Help!
I have McAfee and every time I scan my computer I have more files detected. WHAT THE **** DO I DO!?!??!

13 AnswersYahoo Answers1 decade agoAm I weird for not having a boyfriend?
I'm a 20 year old girl, and single. I had a guy perusing me a couple months ago, but I never called him again after he was hinting having sex with me and suggesting it. Than there was a coworker of mine who asked me out and I said no. I don't go out looking for guys, and don't go to bars or clubbing or anything like other people my age that have fake IDs. Is this really not normal of me? To date at 20?
9 AnswersSingles & Dating1 decade agoMy toe goes numb, why is this?
My toe was numb for a couple of days and most of the time it is numb, but than other times it's not. Also the other day my ear went numb. It was my toe on my right foot and my right ear, does this have a significance? And...when I went running yesterday my legs started to have a numbing tingling sensation, should I go to the doctor? I thought diabetes, but I tested my blood sugar and I'm fine.
3 AnswersOther - General Health Care1 decade agoWhat to do about **** neighbors?
I have this neighbor downstairs, he'll knock on the wall when I'm home alone, even if I'm not making noise. I'm a girl. But when males are home with me, he won't do ****. He also is a nosy ****, like there have been times that the mailman will put boxes out because it won't fit in our mail box slot, and he'll take it and bring it later to us. He also one time begged my dad to not cook spaghetti because the smell came downstairs which is bull, because we can't smell anything they cook. I think he just likes to *****. What do I do?

5 AnswersOther - Society & Culture1 decade agoHow do I ask someone if they?
Someone I know, I think may have been sexually abused as a child. They are a family member, and I believe it was done by another family member to them. The person gets angry and asks me to leave them alone, when I mention the person I believe did something to them. Another thing, the person I think was sexually abused, as a seven year old their teacher called their parent and said they suspected sexual child abuse, because they were showing signs.Also the person who may or may have not abused my family member was sexually abused as a child by their uncle, so this person could have repeated the cycle?
How do I confront this person on this difficult matter? How do I see the warning signs? What are the warning signs? If it happened so many years ago? The two never see each other, because they are very far away from one another. I really want to know, so I could avoid the person that did this to my family member.
1 AnswerPsychology1 decade agoHow do I treat acne on my arms!?!?!?
At the top of my arms, by the shoulders I have tons of zits. It kind of looks like a solar system of planets and stars. Zits of all shapes and sizes, and it's gross. It's on my back too. I get regular acne(zit here or there once in a while) on my face, but nothing compared to my arms.
4 AnswersSkin Conditions1 decade agoWhy is my hair falling out(girl)?
I have long hair, and have been growing it for quite some time. My hair is naturally straight and thick. The thing is for a while now when I take a shower, and brush my hair, it will fall out. I wouldn't be worried if it were a little, but it's A LOT. And my hair is becoming insanely thin. I don't put products in my hair, and I don't wash it like crazy or anything like that. When I brush my hair I don't pull, I brush from the bottom too. Why is this happening? HELP.
6 AnswersHair1 decade agoIs kissing too personal, with getting feelings attached?
I ask this because some guy fed me this bullshit, when he wanted to hook up with me, but wouldn't kiss me. He was in a relationship at the time, and I was really drunk. I know that's not an excuse but he didn't push me away either. So is this from a movie or something? Or do you think it was just a personal preference?
