About a week and a half ago, while sleeping I did something to my shoulder. The pain goes all the way from my neck to my left arm to my hand. When it first happened I could not keep my neck straight without sharp pain. The pain seems to be centered at the top of my arm/shoulder and also top of the back. My arm feels like a their is a painful rubber band going from my shoulder down through to my hand. I have been taking, Aleve, but it has not done much. At night, I have trouble sleeping. I went to get a massage and it made it worse. The pain seems too be coming from underneath the muscles. When I move or try to stretch it out, it hurts for hours. The only time it feels better is when I immobilize it. I can't sleep on my side without pain. Anyone have any ideas what happened, treatment, and how long this will last?

What was your experience? Any tips?

This bear is funny. He goes around and picks up bird feeders and eats out of them. He took the humming birds sugar water and drank it all. He or she does not give a darn about anything. It sits down and does not move. One time, it came up to the back of the kitchen and put its nose against the glass doors. It has a huge head. It looks really cool. I worry though because I go walking and I am afraid it will appear out of no where and attack me. I know they are strong and fast.

I want to write a book. I have been working on gathering all the material and ideas for years. Some of the difficulty I am facing has to do with organizing the book. It feels overwhelming so I don't start. I have had a few starts. I really want to create this book. I have thought of hiring someone to help me. Any direction would be appreciated.

I need to get a fair amount of dental work done, but dentists here are outrageously expensive. Everyone needs to make money but dentists in the US price gouge, and if you can't pay they don't care. I am willing to spend money, but I don't think my dental work should pay for my dentist's next luxury vehicle purchase.

The dental prices in Mexico are 25% of what they would charge in the US. I have searched the net and I have not seen anything bad about Mexican dentists. I would love to hear from some that has done it. I believe dentists are skilled but it is not brain surgery. I think supply and demand mixed with capitalism has made dentistry in the US ridiculously priced. Also, the ADA has stifled competition.

For a small business. Don't want to blow through a bunch of cash for nothing. I have had friends burn through 50K on TV and not gotten one client.

How much does it cost? I know it varies. Is it a rip-off? Please tell me about good or bad experiences, and tips. Thanks.

I have a Playstation 3 and it does not recognize discs. Other than that it seems to work fine. The Netflix App works fine. The lights in front are the right color. I have turned on/off the machine multiple times. Did a systems update. Ejected discs and put them back in numerous times. For some reason when I put in a disc the disc does not show up anywhere in any menu. Any clues? What should I do?

I bought a Dell Inspiron, it broke in six months and kept breaking. Other laptops lasted me a max of three years.

I do not want to spend a lot. Not Apple kind of money. I figure I have to replace them every 4 yrs or so. I bought a Dell laptop Inspiron and it kept breaking. It was one of the worst products I have ever bought. I will never buy Dell. Customer service was horrible. I kept getting a call center in India that would try to sell me things and not help me with my problem, that fun went on for hours. I finally had to file a BBB complaint against them to get help. It broke again today. I will be buying a new laptop tomorrow.

No Dell recommendations. I will never buy Dell again.

When you have a problem with someone, why do they call it having a beef?

Where are the modern versions of Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Doors, Led Zep, Bob Marley of the music world? Its been like Britney Spears, Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Kanye, Taylor Swift and a lot of not very good writing and vocals. Even the 80's pop is sooo much better than that Po, Po,Po, Po, Poker Face nonsense.

Who cares? Like people idolize sports players, wow, that's great they can have proficiency in some game. When I went to college a lot of athletes were dumber than a bag of hammers.

She dresses absurdly. I don't think she is stylish. Her clothing is ridiculous. Anyone can dress up like a goof ball. Her music is like second rate Madonna.

I remember Netscape, Lycos, and all those other guys why did they disappear? I don't think Google is that great. I don't think Facebook is all that either. Why did My Space semi-disappear? I don't use Google. I kinda resent them, they are like a tollbooth on the internet for advertisers.

I found this from the FTC web site on ways to tell if something is a scam:

Spotting a Scam

If you’re looking for foreclosure prevention help, avoid any business that:

* guarantees to stop the foreclosure process – no matter what your circumstances are

* instructs you not to contact your lender, lawyer or credit or housing counselor

* collects a fee before providing any services accepts payment only by cashier’s check or wire transfer

* encourages you to lease your home so you can buy it back over time

* recommends that you make your mortgage payments directly to it, rather than your lender

* urges you to transfer your property deed or title to it

* offers to buy your house for cash at a fixed price that is inappropriate for the housing market

* pressures you to sign papers you haven’t had a chance to read thoroughly or that you don’t understand.

Bella claims to do a lot of these things.

My main problem is moral. I am not a religious person but I worry that I would be committing a sin and I would feel sleazy. I have gone to strip clubs and enjoyed myself, I do not go now not for any particualr reason, but opening one, I think I might feel like a bad person. My family would be embarrassed if they found out I opened one. I worry that I might be exploiting some vulnerable, naive, desperate, girls/women. I worry about some of the creepy people that go to strip clubs. Finally, I worry if I die and there is a heaven that I may have to answer to God for my actions. What do you think?????????????????????

I have heard stories of people making silly little applications for the I-POD, up-loading them to the Apple web-site, getting rich and quitting their jobs. I do not know much, scratch that anything about programming, I am reasonably intelligent, computer programming is just not my background. Before you say I am dreaming. Unrelated but close I grew up with someone that he and his wife quit their job, although they were programmers and started a web-site about cooking recipes of all things and sold it to a company for close to thirty million dollars!!!!!, three years ago, I was like wtf?

If so how much did you pay and what were your results?

Just Curious. If so how much did you pay or are going to pay?

I see a lot of IRS help companies advertise, and I was wondering how common IRS problems are and what experiences people have had with these companies in terms of costs and results.
