Chronic back pain?
So I've had back problems since I was a teenager, I'm a bigger girl, with a large chest, I've always needed to crack my back to make it feel better, but as I've gotten older, it's gotten worse, especially since I now work as a housekeeper. Even when I crack my back, it still hurts and it keeps coming back just as bad within a couple of minutes. I just started my job so I'm not covered under medical insurance until sometime in July so I can't go to the doctor to get it checked out yet, so I was wondering if anyone had any advice as to what I could do until I'm covered and can get something done about it.
1 AnswerPain & Pain Management7 years agoWhy is my smoke alarm going off for shower steam and not actual smoke?
For the past few weeks my smoke alarm has been going off whenever I take a hot shower, but lately I've been noticing that when there is smoke coming from my oven, it completely ignores it? It's not actually mine, its in our apartment. What should I do?
4 AnswersMaintenance & Repairs8 years agoHow do I fool him into thinking I don't care anymore?
My fiance's been spending a little too much time hanging out with his friends...he'll either go over to someones house, or have them come over here, and it happens almost every day, for several hours. I've tried telling him that it upsets me when he does this, but he doesn't seem to get it. He always makes it out to be my fault that he's spending all his time with them, cuz I'm stressing him out or something. He's even promised me that it would be just the two of us this weekend and then canceled that to hang out with his friends again. I'm through being hurt, but I can't just up and leave because I've spent way too much time and effort into making us work. And I don't have anywhere else to go. I just got a new job, leaving would mean I'd have to quit this one, and move to another city. And he has his good times too, when he's just so sweet and funny that it makes me never to want to leave him, and we'll be good for a couple of weeks before he starts doing it all over again. I want him to see how much this is upsetting me, but I don't know how, so should I just act like I don't give a crap about anything anymore? I don't know what else to do.
2 AnswersSingles & Dating8 years agoWhat do you think of these names?
My fiance and I have been talking about names for our future kids, and I've come up with our ideal boy's and girl's names. I chose Tobias Reese for a boy, because I've loved the name Tobias since I was a little girl, and Reese, because that would be the father's middle name. Plus when he's little, we can call him Toby for short. And then for a girl, we kinda wanted to go with an unintentional family tradition. My fiance's grandfather's name was Gill, his mom's name is Jill, my fiance's name is Phil, and my name is Hillary, which can be shortened to Hill, and so we kinda wanted to continue this tradition with the name Lilia Chae. We thought of Lilia when we were thinking about Lily, which can be shortened to Lil to go with the tradition, but since I like names that aren't so common, I was thinking, and playing with sounds and middle names to see what would sound better...and I came up with the name Lilia, which my fiance is ok with. I also wanted to include the middle name Chae, after my best friend. So, what do you think? Tobias Reese, and Lilia Chae? Please give me your thoughts!
5 AnswersBaby Names8 years agoQuestion about sleep?
Ok, so I’ve got a question for psychologists or sleep therapists, or anyone who knows anything about this. Ever since I was a little kid, I’ve been fighting this weird thing going on, whenever I try to go to sleep. It started when I was little, and it would feel like a violent roaring tornado was trying to drag me down, and always it would scare me. It’s happened less and less over the years, but once in awhile it does happen, and always I thought it was just my body trying to go to sleep, and so I would try to let it take me, but it always scared me too much, so I would struggle and fight it, and I always opened my eyes. I know it isn’t my body trying to go to sleep now because it didn’t happen every night. So does anyone know what was going on? Does this happen with everybody?

4 AnswersSingles & Dating1 decade agomacaroni cheese packet?
Ok, so i figured out that if you take the cheese packet from a Kraft Macaroni and Cheese box, and mix it with raman noodles, milk and better, it tastes a lot better than just regular mac and cheese. But, my friend doesn't want to waste a bunch of macaroni and cheese boxes, so does anyone know if I would be able to find just the cheese packet somewhere?

6 AnswersMovies1 decade agoPlease help me find out if my bathroom is haunted?
I just recently moved in with my mom in her apartment, and some strange things have been going on in my bathroom. They didn't start until after i visited my Grandpa's house, where my Grandma died. Now whenever i go into the bathroom, it feels sort of erie. The other night, I was checking my face in the mirror, and i felt a strange pressure below my temple. Yesterday, while cleaning my face, something sparked and the light went out for a second then came back on. Strange thing was about that, nothing was plugged in, except for a night light. Last night, I heard thumping in the walls, which kept me up. Then today, i was in the living room, I was talking to someone on facebook, and i heard something crash. I went to investigate, and the outside shower curtain had collapsed. I hadn't even touched it when i took a shower. We have no pets, and right now I am the only one home. The only explanation i have is that maybe my grandma was angry with me for taking her ashes out of her urn? I know I probably shouldn't have bothered her, but I missed her so much, and I never really had closure. I have tried dismissing these type of things, but this is really starting to freak me out. Anyone have any sort of similar situations, or advice?

14 AnswersBaby Names1 decade agoI Really Like This Guy but I Can't Pursue Him?
I just recently got hired on to my new job and I'm in a training class right now. There's a guy in my class that I've gotten close to in the past 3 weeks, and it seems like he really likes me back. We always share these intense looks and he likes to lightly pinch my leg. He even wrote on a piece of paper, "Hey Cutie." and gave it to me in class today. But he has a girlfriend, and I don't know how to let him know that I really like him without hurting our relationship or causing harm to his. Advice on this would really be appreciated and thanks ahead of time.

11 AnswersCats1 decade agoI've fallen for my best guy friend but I can't tell if he likes me back?
We talk every night online till about five AM. We have special nicknames for each other. He tells me he cares for me. He is concerned when im in pain, and he says he wishes he could help. And whenever we talk we can joke together to the point where it sounds to me like flirting. And we have talked about him meeting my family. But, I can't tell if he just thinks of me as a sister. I've seen signs like these in guys before, but when ive told them how ive felt they don't feel the same way back. I don't want to that to my friend, because he is the best guy friend i could ever ask for, kind of like Bella's Jacob in the Twilight series. But I've fallen in love with my Jacob, and I don't want to lose him. Please help?

I know this may be a weird question to ask, but I feel like the only one who has a cat like mine. She does this weird thing with her tail, like she's shivering, but only with her tail. And she's not even cold. It's weird and completely hilarious at the same time. Does anyone else have a cat who does this? Do you know why?
