  • Beautiful waves, ugly frizz?

    My hair is actually thin but beautifully wavy. Sadly I have a lot of frizz that accompanys the wavy locks that I love. My hair is pretty damaged from consistant straightening the past few years but have stopped doing so about 5 months ago after some thinning (have also stopped coloring). I quickly came to adore my waves much more so than I ever did with a straighter style.

    My problem however, is with the amount of frizz that is on top of my hair and at the ends. I get my hair trimmed every few weeks but it still tends to bush out at the ends. The top looks much worse than the lower layers of my hair as well, and the waves tend to get more crinkly then curvy. I use curl lock to help hold them all together, but would like to find some kind of treatment or better solution after I wash and air dry my hair to help it all stay together always.

    Please do not suggest blow drying, I have got to be the worst blow dryer in the world. If I had three arms...I might be able to tackle this issue but usually my hair just looks more poofy after doing so (and I swear I'm pointing it down!!). Like I said, treatments, products, or tips are greatly appreciated.

  • My Calla Lily will not perk up!?

    I've had this Calla Lily since Valentines day and it just looks so sad. I water it to keep the soil moist (not drenched, just moist and not to dry either) and give it alot of sunlight ever day, but I can't figure out why it will just not perk up. The stalks on this beautiful flower are turning yellow and the ends of two leaves are drying out, I'm not sure whether it's still not enough water or too much sunlight. Suggestions please? I'd really like to keep this flower.

  • What could be the cause of the right side of my abdomen swelling?

    Directly under my rib case and down to a little above my hip the right side of my abdomen is swollen. I started having some pain in the area yesterday and noticed it felt uncomfortable like it was swelling. I'm not constipated (poo'd 3 times since) and have no appendix (taken out at 12yrs old) so I know it's neither of these. I'm only 30yrs old so I'm not really too old or too young to have most major usual causes for this. Today it's much more swollen and still tender, I feel alot of pressure from it though and it makes it quite uncomfortable to sit down or relax in any position period.

    Any ideas? It's almost impossible to make a dr's appt to be soon here, but I'm debating on taking myself up to the hospital despite the wait time there.

  • Please help with cloning an Iris flower?

    We have the most beautiful purple irises blooming outside of our rental home planted by our landlord years ago. We're moving in a in June and I asked my landlord if I could take one of them with me. She has told me I could get "slips" from them to clone for myself. Trouble is...I've no idea how much to cut for a slip or where exactly to do so. Can someone give me an idea as to where and how much I should cut, and then some care after to have my own beautiful purple irises like hers? Thanks :)

  • Herb that causes upset stomach....what was it?

    My grandmother told me a story when I was about 18 of how she and her friends used to keep their husbands at home by adding a little of this herb to their dinners. The end result would be diarrhea and stomach cramping which would efficiently keep them home for the night. I loved hearing this story, especially knowing my grandfather was always faithful and loved my grandmother despite her jealous ways. Anyhow, years down the road my grandmother has passed away. My mother has actually asked me if I remember what the herb was she used to talk about, and quite honestly I don't. It wasn't anything that caused more than just the diarrhea and cramping because I remember it was something pretty common that went along well in foods, it just worked better if there was alot of it in the food. Any ideas? I don't think my mom is wanting to keep my dad at home, but she's definitely racking her brain most likely for a friend of hers that I know is having problems.

  • Why are they watching me?

    The past few months have been, unusual. I have not seen anything, or heard anything but I have in fact felt things. My fiancees family has a long past of dealings with spirits (nothing is really new to them nor are they ever shocked in the least about anything) and my future father in law told my fiancee the other day that he's been seeing two spirits watching me. He says they don't do anything but just stand near me and watch me, like when I'm washing dishes or cooking food or cleaning. He says that sometimes there is just one and sometimes two, but the thing is it's only been happening the past 3 months. This really shocked me when he told me, as for the past few months I've been having alot of trouble when I'm alone feeling like someone is staring at me and I've even felt like someone has touched me a few times when nobody is there. On a few occasions, I've been so angry with my fiancee that I've slept on the couch, and on two of those three occasions, I've been so disturbed by the feeling someone is watching me and standing near me that I've actually got up and went back to bed, despite my anger. One of those nights in particular I had a dream of my deceased uncle telling me to get up and go back to bed, right that minute which I did as I woke up directly after feeling terrified. I really do not like the though that anyone especially spirits are watching me and would like to know why and how to get them to stop. He also said that they are only near me when I'm alone, that when my fiancee is here and we are together they are not around. He didn't say anything about them being threatening or bad, just said they are spirits (he speaks mainly italian so it's hard to always get the whole story). Any kind of help in this would be greatly greatly appreciated.

  • How Can I add a specific search engine to my website?

    I'm building a website and the thing is, I want to put a search engine on it that pulls up links to other websites. Is there a way I can make a list of websites that the search box will look through and list accordingly?

    For example, if my webpage was about finding vets and I put up a search engine for people to search for umm let's say...groomers, they could just type in groomers and then the search box will sort through say 100 websites I have chosen for it to search and list the links that best fit the search keyword but only through those websites.

    Can anyone tell me of some sort of software or give me a link I can use to find this specifically? Also what is this specific thing called?
