Mosquito-like bite with two puncture marks?
I recently was bitten overnight and woke up with a large welt on my arm that resembled a mosquito bite enough for me to leave it alone. However, after reading a few accounts of this phenomena on the internet, I've decided to find out once and for all what type of bug bit me. Anyone have any idea? I live in North Central Texas, but I'm certain it was not a spider. Being from Texas, I've been bitten by a ton of spiders and I know the symptoms fairly well (especially after a few hospital visits). The two holes are about 2mm apart from each other, and only one was initially visible with the swelling. It was very itchy, just like a mosquito bite, and I scratched quite a bit. When I looked at it again, both puncture marks were visible. This is consistent with the other accounts I have read about this particular type of bite. After I put antibacterial cream on it, I bandaged it. I took the bandage off after about two days and the swelling was almost gone. Today the swelling was gone completely. After the scab fell off today, I can see the two puncture marks and it looks as if they are filled by a white substance. This is also something I saw several other people mention about their bites. So, what is this creepy little creature that has branded us? I've never had this bite before. Someone mentioned that fire ants leave two holes after they are done biting, but I've been bitten by several before and it's never looked like this and it always hurt the next day. Thanks!
First Aid10 years agoWhere can I find an online school for this semester?
I had a bit of a nervous breakdown last semester and my university decided to put me on suspension until I could prove I was emotionally ready to return, that way my grades wouldn't be affected if I still was having issues. Part of my return entails scoring at above a 3.0 on 12 hours. Because of the timing of everything, I wasn't able to sign up for any classes in my area, and couldn't find any still open online. It is looking like I will have to wait to take them until next semester, but I would definitely prefer to complete these 12 hours before January.
Does anyone know an online accredited school that is STILL accepting people for a semester ending before January? I know some schools have "mini-mesters," etc., and am looking for something like that. I have to be taking at least 4 classes at 3 hours or more each concurrently.
If I can't finish before January, then I will be spending the next several months sitting here doing nothing (assuming I still can't find a job), so any help is greatly appreciated!
1 AnswerHigher Education (University +)10 years agoMy ID expired while at college & I'm too far from home to renew it- what can I do?
I'm 18 and I moved into college the day of my birthday. I went to a club tonight but found that since my license was expired, I couldn't get in. I asked if they would accept a birth certificat with a photo ID and they said no. I have also called movie theatres in the area and I can't get into those for R rated movies with just a certificate & photo ID. I'm going to college in DC, as well, and some of my classes require me to go to government buildings. In fact, I can't apply for an internship or work-study position at any worthwhile place here without an ID.
What am I supposed to do? I don't think I can renew my license or get a government issued ID here without being a resident...I'm not going home until Christmas and it is of vital importance that I get some sort of ID before hand. I'm supposed to be applying for Work Study by September 12th and half of the positions I'm applying for are in government buildings.
Anyone have any idea what I can do?
3 AnswersLaw & Ethics1 decade agoWhat's a FREE program I can use to take frame-by-frame screencaps?
I don't need it to do it automatically, I just need to be able to PAUSE and then click frame-by-frame to the thing I want so I can use the Print Screen option to capture it.
And it MUST be FREE
Thanks!

2 AnswersGovernment1 decade agoI thought I had a yeast infection then it went away but it hurts whenever I masturbate?
I had an itchy, swollen area around the Vagina accompianied with discharge that matched the description of a yeast infection. However, it started to go away and it never had hurt when I pee so I thought it was safe to touch myself again. Unfortunately, a few hours after I did, my vagina was sore wherever I had touched. I'm wondering if it's just because the infection made me more sensitive. I wasn't THAT rough, but not super gentle, either. It doesn't hurt unless I touch there, but I'm wondering what to do.
Just for your info: I'm 16 and I'm not sexually active (not oral, not intercourse, or anything else), and this is definitely not the first time I've masturbated. I'm not on any medications or creams and my last period was a little over 7 days ago.
Also, my dad just had a few mini-strokes so we REALLY can't afford to have me go to the doctor right now or any medications. It's left up to home remedies.
I'm doing some of the things they say to do if you have a yeast infection, also. Such as taking baths instead of showers, not using irritants, and wearing loose underwear.
Please help!

6 AnswersWomen's Health1 decade agoMy cousin tripped and fell onto his bed, now the bottom metal part that is like a frame is bent- what can I do
It's the part that the bed & boxsprings sit on. It's a full sized so I don't really want to have to go buy another one. He hit it pretty hard but it isn't bent bad enough to where the bed can sit on it anymore. It just leans now a bit, and it's not very comfortable. Plus, it's just sticking out there a bit now and I don't want him to run into it and hurt himself on it. What can I do to fix it?
5 AnswersMaintenance & Repairs1 decade agoWhat is the best way to get a response from a celebrity when you send them fan mail?
I am looking to send fan mail to a celebrity and I would like to know the best way to get a semi-personalized response.
Please, don't just answer and say that no celebrities do this, I know that some of them do.
The celebrity I am looking to send fan mail to is famous, but is not a "young hollywood" celebrity who has screaming fans.
I have heard of many celebrities that choose select letters to respond to personally when they have time.
I am just looking for a way to attract good attention without boring them in details.
