  • Every night I wake up and think I'm still dreaming?

    I have dreams about really strange things then wake up and for some reason it doesn't register that my dreams were just dreams. So once I wake up I have to do something like mentally solve a math problem or solve a sort of riddle for lack of better words. Like last night I had a dream I was an electrical source and I had to mentally "bend" the electricity to a stable state before I could go back to sleep. (Makes no sense, right?)

    This used to just happen every now and then but lately it's every night and sometimes it's half an hour before I realize my dream was not real. Any advice on how to make it stop?

  • How easy is it to switch birth control?

    Today I went to my gynecologist and asked for her to put me on birth control. She gave me two months worth of samples, Lo Loestrin Fe, and wrote me a prescription for more Lo Loestrin Fe. The problem is the stuff costs about $60/month and I'm in college and don't want to pay that much for birth control.

    Can I just take the samples and call her when they're running low and ask her to write me a scrip for something cheaper?

  • I can't open .exe files?

    Ok so today I got a virus that blocked all applications from opening and told me I needed to pay $50 in order to get my computer back to normal. So I researched and found out what kind of virus it was. It was running through nag.exe so I went into safe mode, ended nag.exe processes and deleted nag.exe from my Documents and Settings folder.

    I reboot my computer and nothing will open. I try to open IE and Firefox and I get a little box that says "What program would you like to open this with?" My Microsoft Office Shortcuts won't work, and when I try to open them they say "Application not Found!"

    I was able to get IE running by turning the IE EXE into a BAT file, I did the same with Itunes. I'm also able to open Office and PDF documents by opening a document of the type (So I saved a blank word document on my desktop as a shortcut) My biggest fear now is that none of my anti-virus software is able to run. Any suggestions?

  • What is this song called? "This is our song..."?

    It's a very slow, folk type song with lyrics that are something like "This is our song... They're playing our song."

    I know that a man sings it and I'm pretty sure they only accompaniment is an acoustic guitar

  • A controversial essay topic?

    I have to complete this writing prompt for admission to a college's honors program.

    There are many controversial topics and problems facing the globe today. Write an essay in which you advance a position on a controversial issue. Be sure that your essay clearly defines the problem, articulates what you see as the various perspectives on this topic, and contains evidence to support your stand.

    The problem is that I feel that my views on "controversial" issues may be frowned upon or taken the wrong way. Would it be acceptable to write my essay on something that's somewhat trivial like gum chewing in school or something along those lines or is that not controversial enough?

    Thanks!

  • Is this a healthy step in our relationship?

    My boyfriend and I are seniors in high school and we were dating for almost 3 years. Today we decided after a few days of consideration that we weren't happy with the relationship for a few different reasons so we mutually decided to take a break. We both agree that there's a chance we could get back together, but it's not mandatory. We agreed that we can see other people if we find someone we like. Is this healthy? We both feel really good about it because I feel like we took the relationship too seriously and I lost my best friend. Now we're both happy and I have my best friend back. It feels good, but is there any chance our relationship will rekindle and have a happier result the next time around?

  • Is my tarantula more aggressive or am I just too cautious?

    Lately my rose haired tarantula has been paranoid. There was a dead uneaten cricket in her cage and so I used two pencils as chopsticks to grab it and she tried to attack the pencils. Then I was trying to move her so I could get to her water dish and she put her leg up as if she was about to flick hairs. I haven't handled her in a few months and I'm afraid to handle her for fear she may bite. I've had her for almost a year and she's always been docile and lazy and now she seems a lot more aggressive what should I do?

  • Was it a spasm, twitch, or seizure?

    Last night we had our winter formal and I danced for 3 hours straight. I was really tired and my legs hurt pretty badly by the end. It was raining so we ran pretty quickly out to the car. Right before I got in the car I was overwhelmed with this feeling like I was losing control, I had limited movement. As I sat down my legs started shaking uncotrollably and then the rest of my body did. The shaking lasted a few seconds but then it would come back in little spurts each one weaker than the last and after about 5-10 minutes they ceased completely. When I got home I had a fever of 101 but this morning I feel perfectly fine besides my muscles being a little sore.

    Should I be worried or is this normal when you're tired?

    I'm wearing this little black dress with a silver waistband and a satin rose on the waistband. I have really dark brown hair and very pale skin with hazel eyes

    What would be the best color for makeup (and possibly accessories) that would add a touch of glam to my otherwise simple ensemble?

  • My boyfriend won't have sex with me?

    We've been dating for two years

    We fool around a lot and he always tells me he wants to have sex with me and how sexy I am

    He is pretty much my dream guy but lately he just can't seem to decide whether or not he's ready to have sex with me.

    He will say that he's ready but then when the time comes he always changes his mind

    He is not the kind of guy who would cheat on me, he used to watch a lot of porn but he doesn't anymore. He is such a sweet guy but I just can't figure out what the problem is.

    I tell him that his playing games is frustrating and sad for me but he says he doesn't understand why I get so angry about it and that it's his decision and I should respect it

    I do respect his decision, I just don't get why he can't make up his mind.

    What's the problem?

  • What's wrong with my boyfriend?

    He's been really sweet the two years we've been dating

    but lately he's acting really strange, I want to lose my virginity to him but he keeps saying he's not ready (he's a virgin too)

    and then today, after denying me sex I looked at his ipod touch and he had a bunch of apps that were pictures of boobs (not naked but the apps were literaly called "boobs")

    I don't know how to respond, he says he's sorry about everything and he deleted the apps, but I still feel really weird like something isn't right, am I over reacting?
