  • macbook pro "No Batteries Available" ?

    My Macbook pro (10.7.5)

    is about 2 years old. i take very good care of it. randomly though, it went to sleep on its own while i was using it. I turned it back on and in the battery icon there is an X and it says "No batteries available" and "Power Source: Power Adapter" ... i dont know what caused this because i keep it always plugged in.

    also the fan has been on constantly since it went to sleep by itself. i cant make it sleep by closing it, i need to manually hit the power button and hit sleep. i have tried updating it and restarting it. suggestions?

  • How to make a flu/cold shorter?

    First of all, I think I have a flu because I got sick without warning.

    I woke up a few days ago with a bad fever, coughing, runny nose, congestion, bad headache, chills, swollen tonsils, and an over-all weak feeling.

    I've been taking proper care of myself.

    Drinking lots of orange juice, getting lots of fluids, staying in bed, and taking zinc supplements (50 mg before bed) along with a multivitamin, medicine, cold cloth on forehead.

    I think I've been sick since wednesday, but I think it's been at its worst today and yesterday.

    I have school on Monday and I want at least the runny nose, coughing, and fever/weakness to be gone?

    Any tips to get bettter faster?

  • How to impress a boy?

    Ok I am in 8th grade.

    I like a boy.

    Pretty simple.

    He liked me way back in June. I was shy, and I never talked to him before. So the fact that he only liked me for my looks made me decide not to do anything about it. He never directly confessed his feelings for me. But plenty of people told me that he said he had a crush on me.

    Well I've been talking to him and I actually have a lot in common with him, he is fun to talk to, and he makes me laugh. So yeah. But now I think he won't like me again because I pretty much rejected him before. :(

    Also, I think he likes my close friend. She is really pretty and tall, has really big boobs.

    I am short, and my cup size is only an A. I know it's stupid to care about that but idk...

    ... So what should I do? :'(

    DONT TELL ME TO DO MY MAKEUP A CERTAIN WAY OR DRESS A CERTAIN WAY PLEASE.

  • How do I start liking new foods?

    ** "repost" as I put this in possibly the wrong category before**

    Ok, well I only eat american food. I STRONGLY dislike vegetables. I hate soup. This would be fine normally because despite this I make sure to get all my nutrients a day. I am only 13 but I really want to travel one day. Japan being the #1 place on my list. I don't have a tase for Asian foods, which is a problem. They make me sick. I hate spicy food too.

    Can you give me ideas on how to slowly develop a taste for new foods? Vegetables, soup, spiciness, etc? I don't care if it takes a long time, obviously, I just want to be able to eat different foods.

    I will give an example of the kind of foods I eat daily:

    Breakfast: Meal replacement drink, 1 bottle of water.

    Lunch: plain turkey & bread sandwich with soy milk

    Dinner: plain hamburger with a V8

    As you can see I eat pretty plain foods. I don't even drink cow milk...

    How can I start to like vegetables and sauce and stuff? D:

  • How much does a speculum hurt?

    Okay well I am going to the gynecologist on Thursday.

    I am only 13, a virgin, and I can't even put my index finger in without it hurting a lot. The most I have done is use a regular tampon, and those also hurt a lot for me to pull out...

    So you get the idea.

    I have an infection so I pretty much have no choice, and my doctor will be a girl so I am hoping she will be more understanding :L.

    I am so scareed.

    the speculum in google images looks giant.

    How much will it hurt? djfishfihg

    Will she HAVE to use it? Can she take a sample without it?

    Also it sounds gross, I will most likely feel violated ;~~.

    I tried Yeast Infection treatment twice and it didn't work.

    So,,, Yeah.

    Also to be SURE I was having issues I was feeling around "down there" to look for redness. Will she know because that would be SO embarrassing.

    My symptoms:

    Redness

    Itch

    Odor

    Slight burning/pain

    Thick chunky white discharge with green in it.

    My urination hasn't been affected, so it's not a UTI.

  • How much caffeine will affect my sleep?

    I already have insomnia as it is. I stay away from caffeine except for in the morning.

    .... But I just drank some iced tea, (Nestea) which I am pretty sure has 20-30mg of caffeine in it.

    I went to bed late last night specifically so that the lack of sleep would make me feel tired enough to sleep at about 11 pm tonight....

    I have a really hard time sleeping so I am afraid I will have another sleepless night (yikes..)

    And considering I'm only 13 and still growing I should be getting 8+ hours of sleep at least.

    But I only get like, 4 hours of sleep a night. -__-

    This question is getting off topic, basically, will 20-30 mg of caffeine make me unable to sleep?

  • Japanese writing system?

    Well, I am studying Japanese (I really want to learn this language.)

    It's harder than French or Spanish because it has a different writing system.

    Can someone please explain it?

    Like, which one is standard, kanji, kana, hiragana?

    Or how do they work?

    The thing I am using to study specific words shows the Kanji word, then the Kana word, which one am I supposed to memorize?!

    I am pretty confused.

  • Tips for High-school?

    Where I live there is no middle school, it's elementary up to grade 8 then High-school.

    So pretty much I know nothing. Except for stuff you see on TV but that is clearly not how it works.

    It's not that I'm worried about what other people think,

    but is it weird to bring your own lunch in a lunchbox instead of eating cafeteria food? Or can you even do that? How do classes work, I need a bit more explanation for that.

    Any tips would be appreciated.

  • I left a tampon in for 9 hours?!?

    So I accidentally fell asleep with my tampon in, the time I had it in for total was about 9 hours.

    The box says not to keep it in longer than 8 hours.

    Will this give me TSS?!

    I have been using strictly pads for the past 24 hours and I plan on doing that for another day.

    I was sick already when this happend so I do have a very small fever and headache.

    ALREADY had that though.

    Other than that, no other symptoms have occured.

    No bright red eyes & lips.

    No rashes.

    etc.

    Do you think I'll be okay?!

    If I do have TSS what would the doctor have to do?..

  • Does acrylic paint stain clothes?

    For my Halloween costume I need to use fake blood.

    As a wash-out fake blood recipe apparently Corn Syrup, hot chocolate powder, flour, and red + blue acrylic paint will work.

    However I am going to need the costume 2 + times, since I am cosplaying for Halloween I may wear it again...

    It has white fabric.

    WILL the acrylic paint wash out in 1 wash in a washing machine?

  • What are these called? (Description)?

    On this anime girl (Wendy from FairyTail) I noticed whenever she wears twin-tailed hair, the ponytails have holder things on them.

    Is there a name for those? Or are they not actually a kind of hair accessory? xD

    They just look really cute and go with the hairstyle so I'd like to know.

  • How long can I keep circle lenses in?

    - I've been wearing normal contacts for a year now.

    I need prescription contact lenses (or glasses) to be able to see at all (such bad eyes...xD).

    I know how to properly care for contact lenses, etc.

    My eyes can hold my contacts in very easily, I didn't even have to train them.

    I have been to the eye doctor and such too.

    So please don't write me paragraphs on HOW to take care of them... And don't tell me they will make me go blind because any contact lens can without proper care.

    SO, how many hours a day is maximum to wear them?

    I hear 8, or 6. Apparently you need more time not wearing circle lenses because they're thicker. Which makes sense.
