  • What does my astrological info say about my personality and life in general?

    My zodiac is Gemini, my rising sign is Aquarius and my moon sign is Pisces. I was born on Friday, May 23rd, 2003 at 2:12AM. I've never really thought much about my horoscope until now but just decided to look up my rising and moon. Those are the results I got so I'd really appreciate someone to explain what my results mean and what sorts of things I can expect in my life from them :) Thank youuuu

  • Today I ate a whole can of Pringles and now my chest is hurting. Should I be worried?

    Please don't lecture me on how unhealthy I am, I've already heard it all from my mum. I really didn't mean to eat the whole tube, I was just hungry and those Pringles are so god damn addictive! Anyway now my chest is really hurting and it's starting to get a bit difficult to breathe... This has happened to me a few times before when I've eaten too much, but it feels like this time is a lot worse than the others. I don't think I'll eat anymore Pringles for a very long time :/

  • Outlook email help?

    Every time I go into my emails, it says my account requires attention. When I click that, it comes up with two boxes. The first says "Fix account" and the second says "Change settings". I have tried clicking both of those buttons and neither of them do anything. I've closed the window and restarted it, restarted my whole laptop, and tried shutting down and turning it on again. Literally nothing I try resolves this issue and therefore I can't view any of my new emails because my inbox refuses to sync until I fix my account.

    Can someone please suggest something because this is driving me insane :(

  • Is my sternal pain serious and should I see a doctor about it?

    I get intense pain where my sternum is probably once every week or two. I didn't think it was that much of a problem at first because I already suffer from acid reflux and thought it was just that. But the pain seems to be getting worse and worse and I've actually started to feel like I'm going to be sick when it starts. I also really struggle to breathe with it and I'm scared it could be serious. I'm only 15 years old but I'm prone to panic/anxiety attacks and my mum has had lots of issues with her heart in the past. We have a long family history of heart attacks and I'm absolutely paranoid I could have one. I know it's unlikely since I'm young but this pain in my sternum is really worrying me! I can't sit or lie down when it comes because if I do it feels like my heart's going to literally explode.

    I'm scared out of my mind. Does anyone know if this is serious or not? :(

  • How long can the average British House Spider live without food or water?

    Like, if it was just in the same position forever, how long would it survive? I googled it and it said they live for a maximum period of 2-3 years but I think that's if they had food and water.

  • Is Tourette's something a person can develop at any point in their life or is it something you're born with?

    I googled it the other day and it said Tourette's syndrome is genetic. My brother has it and I was wondering if I might have it too because sometimes I tic. Not as much as him though.

  • Why do I get goosebumps when i'm hot?

    I was at the beach today with my mum and the weather was absolutely scorching hot, yet I had goosebumps all over my legs. Why is this? It happened last week too when I was in the garden. But it's Summer and I'm always hot so I don't understand why this is happening?

  • Wish Help?

    There's an app called Wish (you've probably heard of it, if not, it's like Amazon but everything's cheaper) that I downloaded just over a week ago. I've ordered about 10 items over the last 7 days and none of them have arrived yet. At least 6 items have been shipped over the last 5 days yet none of them are here. I got an email this morning saying that one of my items have been refunded and when I checked the reason why they refunded it it said "ordered by mistake". I'm beyond confused. Why am I not receiving any of the things I've bought? I typed my address in perfectly. Is it normal for Wish products to take a long time to arrive? Or is this abnormal? Please help I've lost £30 already and I need to know if I'm going to be getting what I've ordered or not :(

  • What is this song?

    I remember watching MTV or something when I was younger and there was this music video with like a little cartoon man singing. It sounded like a Scissor Sisters song but looked like a Gorillaz music video. I thought it might have been Gonna Make You Sweat but I just watched the video for that and it wasn't it. I must've seen this video between the years 2004 and 2009. Unfortunately I don't remember any of the lyrics but if anyone can help me I'd really appreciate it!!

  • What's wrong with my ear canal?

    For the last two days the canal in my right ear has been in intense pain. I haven't done anything to it or put anything in it so this is a mystery to me. I can't even listen to music with earphones because it hurts so much. Another weird thing is that there's a LUMP at the back-right of the roof of my mouth! I discovered it last night when I was brushing my teeth and if my tongue touches it or I accidentally brush against it with the toothbrush, it sends a SEVERE shooting pain all the way through the canal. I'm really, really worried and don't know what to do. I just want the pain to stop.

    My grandpa is a retired doctor and when I asked him about it even he didn't know but said it could possibly be an abscess. Can anyone help me please? I really need to know how to get this sorted out :(

  • Why do I keep having nightmares about natural disasters?

    For a few months now I keep waking up in the middle of the night sweating and with my heart racing. I've recently started to notice that all of my nightmares have been related to natural disasters. The worst ones so far have been about extremely violent and fast tornadoes. I don't know why I'm so scared of tornadoes though as I live in the UK where they are very, very rare. I've never even seen a tornado in real life before. I also keep having nightmares about tidal waves and mass floods. The dreams are so detailed that I actually feel scared typing about them right now as all the images are coming back in my head.

    Anyway, why do you think this is happening to me? I've literally never been involved in any kind of natural disaster. Do you think a serious one might be about to happen and I'm the messenger to everyone?? Sorry if I sound insane but I'm absolutely terrified.

  • What do I do with an iTunes gift card that I don't want?

    It's my birthday today and one of my internet friends has very kindly bought me a $15 iTunes gift card. The only problem is that I don't use iTunes so I don't really want it.... I don't want to be rude to him though and decline his gift. I don't know what to do! I stupidly told my parents and now they're having a huge go at me about how I shouldn't have internet friends because this guy's "trying to con me" which he isn't! He's genuinely just being nice and giving me a gift but they don't understand! Anyway what do I do with it? I have the code but no one I know seems to want it? Help me.

  • How to get my hair really curly?

    When I was a toddler I used to have naturally curly hair. It was in really tight ringlets and it looked so cute! Unfortunately my mum straightened my hair for the first time when I was about 5, and my hair has just been wavy ever since. Up until recently I haven't really had much hope for my hair and thought it would look like this for the rest of my life. I hate it and it's so difficult to do anything with. It doesn't look very stylish either.

    I can't decide if I want my hair either REALLY curly or REALLY straight but I just can't deal with it being wavy anymore as it's SO annoying! My mum recommended getting my hair permed but surely there must be easier, cheaper ways to get it back to how it used to be?

  • Is there a cure for venephobia/hemophobia?

    I've been struggling with these phobias for about a year now and it just seems to be getting worse and worse...

    Venephobia: Irrational fear of veins and arteries.

    Hemophobia: Fear of blood.

    I don't know anyone who is as disgusted by veins and blood as I am. My parents can't understand why I cry or faint when I look at my own veins or when I accidentally cut myself. I'm fully aware that we NEED blood and veins to live, but I just hate it and I don't know why. Even typing out this question I feel sick just thinking about it all.

    I am a female, so obviously I have periods, but for some reason they don't bug me at all. I mean, they do, but not in the same way as falling over and cutting my knee open does...

    One of my old friends used to self harm and I tried to be as supportive as I could to her, but every time I looked at her arms I fainted or threw up. I hate the fact that I'm the only one I know with this problem. Everyone treats me like I'm insane but I'm not, I just cannot stand blood.

    Does anyone know if there's a genuine cure for these fears? I'm beginning to find it harder and harder every day to cope.

  • How to look after a tortoise?

    My birthday is coming up in May and this year I have decided that all I really want is a tortoise. It's pretty random, but one day I was just thinking about all the different pets I could have and a tortoise just seemed like the right one to get.

    Just so you know, I also have a cat and a dog... They're both pretty hyperactive, so would it be okay to bring a tortoise into the same house as them? I doubt they'd try to harm it, but I'm just wondering if tortoises would prefer to be in a calmer environment?

    I know virtually nothing about keeping tortoises so any answers on what to feed it, where to keep it (outside or inside) etc... would be highly appreciated. Thank you!

  • How much does it hurt to get your nose pierced?

    To give you an idea of my pain tolerance levels, getting my helix pierced was a walk in the park whereas I fainted while getting my standard lobes done. I've never had any facial piercings before so I'd really like to know how much a nose piercing would hurt. By the way, I'm talking about the side of the nose, not anywhere else :)
