I had hip surgery about 3 months ago for a nondisplaced femoral neck hip fracture. They inserted two pins and a rod in my hip. My hip feels like it needs to be adjusted. I used to get routine adjustments before my injury. Am I risking anything by getting an adjustment?
6 AnswersAlternative Medicine1 decade agoIs UCLA the worst PAC 10 team?
We definatlely have become the laughing stock of the Pac 10. I have been a huge UCLA fan since I was a child, and will continue to be. Im use to these dismal seasons, but still love them. When will Neuheisel play Beuhart? He seems confused at what to do. I hope that he figures out what he wants to do at the quarterback position. Looks like we will be playing in the Toilet Bowl once again.
9 AnswersFootball (American)1 decade agohow to get a notice of default? Do you have to be 90 days consecutive OR ....?
I have been having a hard time paying my mortgage, so I want to dodge the notice of default by paying my mortgage every other month for the next 9-10 months until I get my education completed and can re-fi the house (it's an adjustable). So is it 90 days total or 90 days consecutive. I have been current for the last 3 1/2 years, and for the last 6 months I have had to beg, and borrow to feed the family and make my mortgage. I am currently late for the first time.... and for the first time and 6 months I feel great and awful all at the same time. I do not want to be another statistic, I have a high FICO score, now a terrible debt to income ratio, and can't breath anymore. I bought this house with 20% down ($115,000) made a great living, and now I am scared to death of failing my family. I HAVE called my lender, and they tell me to get with a debt counselor, and as long as I am not behind I am doing fine.

2 AnswersInjuries1 decade agoMy house is worth way less, now what?
We bought our home in 2006 for $575,000, we put 20% down ($115,000cash!) and got an interest only loan for 5 years at 6.25%. I live in Covina, ca., and just got my property re-assesed from the county for my property taxes. The full value of my property is $336,000. I own my own business in construction, and now I am practically out of work due to the slow down in the economy. I am not late on any bills, my debts are getting out of control, can barely afford to eat and would like to stop this madness. If I walk away from this home will I ever be able to buy a home again. I have called the bank, and they could care less that I am out all of my down payment ($115,000), $10,000 for home improvements, or that I have an excellent payment history with them. My wife is very supportive about whatever I want to do. I am affraid that all this stress could cost me my marriage. We have two kids, and feel like our dream of being responsible homeowners is no longer worth it. Help!!!
5 AnswersRenting & Real Estate1 decade agoWith California making so many cut backs...?
why are people getting upset at the Governor? Hes about to gut out Welfare and Cal Grants and a whole slew of other stuff. Come on, seriously. Do people not see the recession that we are in? People are losing jobs everyday, that have four year degrees. We all are hurting. Are these the people that have relied on the state so much that they cant believe this is happening? Or do they not realize that the hard working people that were paying into these programs no longer have jobs now? This is an open question, so feel free to bash and call me names, but I speak the truth.
5 AnswersGovernment1 decade agoWould a foot brace help...?
with the recovery from shin splints? I have tried every other thing. Shoes, insole, prosthetics, bone scan, acupuncture, chiropractor, heck you name it, I tried it. Im just wondering if a foot brace would help speed up the recovery. Currently, I am wrapping it when I work or when I do any physical activity. Im not running, but I am doing cross-fit to help keep my cardio up before I leave for the Police academy. I am icing the area and using a heating pad to help.
1 AnswerPain & Pain Management1 decade agoHow do you break it to your kid...?
that her didn't make it to the all-star team? Its going to be hard for him considering the coaches son made it who is the biggest cry baby on the team. When my son strikes out, he trots off like a professional and moves on. The Head coaches son always crys and pouts. I just think its tough when you get picked because of your dad. That's how it is I guess.The two other kids are well deserving. My son is just as good as they are. Its happened before when I was the head coach for my sons team in the past and he had a tough year and I didn't pick him based on his performance. He understood. He was only six and was playing in a much more competitive league. It is what it is I guess. That's why they have Baskin Robbins.
9 AnswersBaseball1 decade agoPhysical Therapists, could use some shin splint help.?
Well, about 4 months ago I got them. Shin splints. So I came here doing my research and have done everything possible that people have told me. I took 2 months off. Iced them, rested, more ice, stretching, you name it. So I came back. Softer surface, started out with one lap and worked my way back to 1.5 miles and bam. There back. So, I went to professional running store with Collegiate runners. He said that my shoes were fine, no overpronation. He gave me a more stable insole. He actually said that I had one of the best forms hes seen in awhile. Also told me to try running barefoot a couple of times a week as this will help strengthen the ankle naturally. I ran once and wow. I ran three miles great. But, again, tried to get back to everyday 1.5 miles, not having any of that. I did go see the foot doctor dude and I actually have a bone scan set up for The 17 of April. Problem is, I have to leave for the police academy in June and am afraid that I may have to run through them. I want to take some time off again, but am afraid of being out of shape for the academy. Any physical therapists out there that can give me any pointers that maybe Im missing? Or any person for that matter, would be great. Im not going to let the bitches keep me from the academy.

The Japanese just won the WBC. They played outstanding fundamental baseball as they always do. They beat Korea, which was a great game. The night before, they beat the U.S. pretty badly. The U.S. out weighed the Japanese by 30 pounds and they still got beat. Are the japanese proof that you dont need steroids to be good? HHHMMMM. U. S. average weight 210, Japan average weight 180.

4 AnswersCurrent Events1 decade agoAustralian sheppard bites/growls at children at ballgame?
My two year old australian sheppard has not been out in public, other than our neighborhood walks. I had her tied to my chair at a baseball game (very close) and a few times she growled at kids passing by. When she got up to get at one of the kids or growled I corrected her with a sharp jolt on the leash and said no. Finally I child walked by and she got at his leg. I thought that she was just nipping, but the father came over to show me the childs injuries (slight red thigh) and supposedly she tore his jean shorts 1/4 of an inch. There was nothing vicious about her actions...she just bolted up and bite the kid. She did not growl, show teeth, or the hair on her back was normal. I felt a little awkward so I took her home, and returned to the game. I've heard there are no bad dogs just bad owners. I should Have had her further away from the running, screaming, ball chasing kids. I want to continue socializing her within a park like setting. I have children, one is 8 y.o. and one is 1 y.o. I don't want to be a stupid parent that ignores signs of a dog that bites and one day one of my children get attacked. Should I keep her, or give her away. I would like to keep socializing her? She is very protective in the backyard if a stranger walks in with me...and it has gotten a little scarier to calm her. Also she seems very nervous around my one year old, she just avoidsthe baby when she comes near her. My kids come first, I just want to do the right thing.
8 AnswersDogs1 decade agoHow do you feel about this?
I just read a story from the AP, that the Philipino women who accused a Marine of raping her back in 2006, says that it now was consensual. That she may have made him believe that she wanted it to. Oh, she also has fled her country and is living here in the states. All the meanwhile, a Marine is serving 40 years, in the Philipines, for a crime that it now looks like he didnt do. He is waiting for an appeal of his case. They say she might be brought up on perjury. Great, but what about the guy whos life is screwed and the problems that it cause between the U. S. and the Philipines?

1 AnswerOptical1 decade agoHow to get back......?
after a long lay off for shin splints. Im kind of skeptical to get back out and start running. It has been about 4 weeks, allot of ice and stretching. Im able to jump on one leg, squat in the catchers position and go up stairs with not one ounce of pain. I did jog one lap around the track with very minimal pain. Actually, I think it was more in my mind than anything. Those that have come back from shin splints, what worked for you to get back into your old selve?
