Is there a medical name for compulsively eating one's own body or is that a kind of OCD?
I've noticed my best friend constantly picks at her body all day, then eats it; dandruff, scabs, boogers, hair follicles, blood, fingernails... I'd like to confront her about it, but I can't find a medical name, if it's it's own condition, or maybe if it's a kind of OCD. When confronted in any capacity, she says something like, "I can't help it, but it's just a thing," and changes the subject while picking at herself more.... I'm really worried about her, but I'd like to give us both a place to start talking about it that is an informed medical perspective.

I'm moving from CA to MN, but I'm not taking ANY furniture. I'm moving several boxes of clothes, kitchen supplies, and some hygiene junk. That's about it. Maybe 6 boxes, tops. What's the cheapest way to ship them?
3 AnswersOther - Home & Garden9 years agoSerious belly dance instruction near Berkeley, CA?
I'm looking to get very serious, very quickly with belly dance. As in I need to condense a couple years of work into about 3 months. To whom should I go? Who is going to kick my just-barely-more-than-beginner *** into shape by August? I'd love to err on the side of tribal, but really, I just need to learn the art. I can pay for some solo classes, but I'd also probably have to err on the side of group.

2 AnswersPhilosophy1 decade agoSemi-permanent, ammonia/sulfate free dye won't come out?
I have natural dark blond hair that had not been dyed until a week ago (i have dyed my hair in the past, just not the hair currently on my head). I dyed the underside of my hair a medium chocolate brown with ammonia and sulfate free dye. It came out dark black/brown and NONE of it is washing out. It says it lasts 28 washes, but after 5 washes, it is the exact same color. I only visibly lost any on the very first wash after dyeing. How can I help it fade without major chemical damage?

1 AnswerOther - Television1 decade agoIs Employeecertify.com a legitimate website?
I posted my resume on craigslist and a potential employer asked me to fill out something with employeecertify.com. It could be fine, but they're asking for a "check number, routing number, and account number," which sounds anything but. I can't find anything about it online. AND if it is a scam, how can I report it?

6 AnswersHalloween1 decade agoWhat is this song; "I am still floating on "gaffon"/zephyr"? Can't make out the lyrics, catchy tune!?
I have heard this song here and there and I love it, but can't make out the lyrics to track it down. It was a very sweeping, back and forth melody, kind of like swinging on swings, and the chorus sounds like it is asking, "am I still floating on zephyr?," but the last word could be something else, seemingly "gaffodd/gaffon".... hmmmm any help??

3 AnswersSoftware1 decade agoHow do I stop an iTunes download permanently?
I accidentally started downloading the Kings pilot, which was free and came with both a normal and an HD version. Now it won't stop downloading and have no interest in 2 Gbs of a show I already watched. Everytime I get on iTunes, it starts to download, even though I right-click and delete it (or pause, delete) everytime it starts. How do I stop it forever?
1 AnswerSoftware1 decade agoCan a Phillips dvp642/37 play video files from a dvd (rather than burning them to the disk)?
I wanted to put a couple movies on a dvd. The dvd says it can hold 120 minutes OR 4.7 GB. Big difference. So, can a Phillips dvp642/37 (progressive scan, Divx) play 4.7 GB of movies if I write them to the disk that way instead of burning only 120 minutes on to the disk??
1 AnswerOther - Electronics1 decade agoWhere can I find cheap last minute flights to anywhere?
I once heard that there is a website that sells last minute flights at dirt cheap prices because the airlines are trying to fill those last few seats. The catch is the flights are random, just whatever suits the needs of the airlines at whatever time. Anyone know which site I'm talking about?
