I have a problem with a strained muscle in my chest. It's regularly painful and it hasn't gone away in a month for two.

I want to weight train, but it makes the pain worse even if I sleep wrong.

Would the VA hospital be able to help me?

I'm a veteran of 4 years and honorable discharge. How much would it be to be seen?

I moved in last week. I was removing a baseboard (trim) above the carpet, behind the baseboard was some black mold. Something the inspector couldn't have seen. The carpet has a little black on it too.

Whose responsible? Do I call my warranty company or the inspector company?

I may call both. Warranty company hasn't called back.

I want to do a VA loan, but I feel as though my agent thinks a conventional loan is a better option. He hasn't convinced me why yet. Does this effect his cut?

I plan on putting 20% down, but not sure which is the best choice. The interest on the VA loan is 3.75% so it's pretty good. I figured if I put less money down on the VA, say 10% I could keep some money and still have an ok monthly payment.

Ok, my roommate knew about a $100 bill at our last residence and i didnt. No one contacted me. My score since April has dropped from 810 to 655. This is the only mark on my credit, perhaps a new bank account took some away too, but that's it.

We moved out in December 2010 and the collection agent was put through July 2011, or so it says on my credit report.

I would of paid it if I had known about it, is it too late to pay it? If I pay it, will it go away or do I need to do more to get this off my score.

I have a loan for 115k.

The house I want costs 130k.

I have to pay out of pocket 15k obviously.

I hear they expect a 20% down payment to avoid private mortgage insurance. Is that 20% of the price on the home of 130k? 20%=26k?

Or will I have to pay that 15k out of pocket first, then an additional 20% on the price of the loan...

I think I'd end up paying 15k+23k which leaves 92k left on the loan...is that right? I don't think it'd be smart to pay that much cash, it'd be smarter to buy a cheaper house I think.

Long story short, gas got in my mower without the mix.It won't stay running, so I figured out what had happened.

Can I put the oil in the tank and get it to run properly or is the motor screwed now? I figured put a little oil in it, push it around and get it mixed up and it might be ok?

On a rare occasion I'll approach a woman I like. I say rare, because I'm shy. More often I have older women approach me and being a guy in his mid 20s this is odd, but I can always carry conversation with them very well. So if you are a younger girl, what would you say interests you the most when talking to a man that you find attractive? Usually I can find someone funny to say and it's a hit, but occasionally I run out of things to say as well :(

My roommates and their friends smoke in my garage, one of the other roommates has a car in there and I have a nice vehicle too, tools and equipment. We just moved in and it really ticks me off that they go in there in smoke and then the smoke billows inside where I am sitting when they are done.

How can I effectively but nicely tell them to knock it the f*ck off? It reeks, and it leaves residue on the car over time I'm sure, not to mention my stuff will reek of smoke. And frankly it's 30 degrees outside and 40 in the garage tops, why not just go outside?

I saw her a couple weeks ago. Didn't really pay much attention to her, although she was cute.

Now today I was on the tread mill and she sat down with her friend to do their stretches. Every time I glance over it seemed like I saw her looking at me. Before I realized it, 20 minutes go by. I finish running and I wonder, "who streches for 20 minutes? was I supposed to go say hello?"

So what do I do? I might see her again. Think she is interested? Should I approach her? How?

I'm really shy, as you can see.

Girls, did you have a major crush on a guy? Then this question is for you.

Ok so you had a major crush on a guy, and he was your first love. Maybe nothing ever became of it but this crush/love lasted for a year or more.

It's 10 years later, you are mid 20s or maybe 30. You've been dating a guy for a couple years, maybe 2-3 years. Things might be getting serious in the near future for you and your boy friend.

Would you want that first crush/love to ever say that he now cares for you and if you were single, would love to date you and think you were meant to be together. Or is that something that shouldn't be said?

I possess a very high security clearance, some college. Not quite an associates degree and 4 years of prior service in the Air Force. Would I even be considered? Thinking of getting a degree in intelligence which will definitely help. Just curious if I would even be looked at currently.

So about 20 girls and guys are watching football at a friends house. We have plenty of good food, booze, and football.

It's 10pm and all the girls wanna go to the bar. All the guys don't understand why when their BFs are right here, and beer at the bar is expensive. You also risk getting a DUI, overpaying for beer, as mentioned before, smelly smokers, etc.

Can anyone explain this bullshit?

Is it because girls like the attention and they won't get that while we watch football? There has to be more to it than that cuz my friend said they do this a lot, not just tonight during football.

I found an ad online and called the number. They said I'd have to pay 117 dollars to take the postal exam.

With so many scams out there, I was wondering if anyone knows if this is true, or if there is a way I could just do this in person. I'd be more comfortable with that.

I separated on May 1st after a 4 year enlistment because I no longer liked my job. I tried to crosstrain but the paperwork wasn't pushed through quick enough.

Long story short. I would like to continue my military career, but in a different path (new job)

Is this still possible? Would I talk to a recruiter?

I own a 2000 Chevrolet Camaro Z28. It has a SS 3600 stall converter from Yank Converters.

I got the car tuned with HP Tuners via a professional dyno shop. Ever since I got it tuned it worked great for about a couple weeks.

Now the converter doesn't lock at 55 mph...which it was tuned to do at that mph.

Why isn't the converter locking and can the tuning be the problem?

When did cell phone usage start on airplanes? When was it common? Was it possible to use a cellphone on the airliners that were involved with the crashes on 9/11. Specifically the one that crashed in Pennsylvania.

Ok, I own a pontiac grand prix (1999) the fan that provides heating and cooling starts screaming at me randomly. It sounds terrible and then the heat will stop coming. I turn it off and then back on and it works fine for a few minutes. It's the fan right? Bearings are bad or something. Anyone know how much for a new one? I will check autozone or something. How hard would it be to change? Anyone know of a website that would provide a "how to" to change it?

Thanks a lot

So i honestly can't choose which tv. The store only has the a550 so i haven't even seen the a650. Has anyone had either of these tvs or possibly both. I really don't know if the 120 hz is worth it or just a gimmick. Here are the tvs, but the one i want will be a 46" not a 40" like i showed in the link....the 650 is just a bit more expensive...is it worth it?

I just changed the serpentine belt this summer so i don't know how it could be it. What else could make this noise though. The car is a 1995 grand am v6 3.1. the faster the rpms climb the worse the sound gets, so i suppose thats what it is.

i guess i better get this fixed quick, i don't like driving my 2000 camaro around town with a 3600 stall converter in it.

I'd say it sounds similar to the car in this video though....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPB29LuKAac
