Aerial silk. Is it for me?
I don't have any way to stay fit, except exercise, and I never find the want to do it. I'm skinny, but not strong, and I don't care because I don't need the strength. So, I was thinking about Aerial Silks... ( is that the name for it?) I'd really like to do it, but the problem is that I'm not very trusting in myself... You know how you can bend your knees and hang upside down on a horizontal pole? I can't do that, cause I value my life too much, and am afraid I'll fall.
Is there any way to get myself to want to do it/ be more confident that I won't fall? How often do people fall doing this? Is it expensive? Is there anything special you need?
2 AnswersPerforming Arts10 years agoHow to remove all the Guppies in a day?
I want to put a Betta in my 5g tank, but I have a load of Guppies in there now. The tank is... not heavily, but decently planted. I really need them all out today, but I don't know how to get them ALL. I can hand scoop some out. I'm doubtful that a net would work... And I think they're too busy to go into a trap. Would the tiny babies come out months later? So, what do you reccommend?
Also, I have some Ghost shrimp ( 2 ) in there. Would they get along with the Betta?
3 AnswersFish10 years agoWhat has gotten into my dog!?
I have a year old standard poodle, who usually is very calm and a good boy. But, here recently he's been acting up.
On our walks/ runs, he used to walk/ run beside me, and now he drifts his way to the middle of the street, or walks way in front of me.
He's been getting up onto the counter, when he used to not.
he's been chasing our chickens, when he was taught not to when he was young.
He's been running out the front door whenever we open it.
And he keeps causing fights with the other dogs at feeding time..
We are very good to him. There's no abuse or anything in the family or with him, and the only thing he has to hate us for is taking him to the groomers... We feed him several times a day, he gets to go on car rides.. etc. he has a perfect home. The only difference is that I stopped walking with him cause it hurts my back to tug him next to me every 30 secs. He's still sweet as far as wagging his tail at me and sleeping next to me.. Why is he getting bad?
3 AnswersDogs10 years agoScuba Diving Questions?
I'm 15 and would LOVE to dive along reefs. I have a few questions~
1- Do you have to take a course to scuba dive? Is it as 'slow' as driving lessons? I have an extremely strong period each month... and pills don't have any effect. So, when the time came that I'd have to dive in the school, would I just have to suffer through it? Please explain the course I'd have to take.
2- How much does the course cost?
3- How much does the equipment cost, and how do you know what equipment is best?
4- I want to be able to just vacation to Australia and dive whenever I want to. I don't want to dive alone... but also don't want to go in a huge group?
5- How cold is the water?
6- Should I get my muscles up before attempting to dive?
Thanks.
1 AnswerSwimming & Diving10 years agoHats that look good with REALLY SHORT hair?
I have trichotillomania, and I shaved my head so that it would even the hair out a little. I'm sick of wearing bandanas and ball caps look bad on me-- I'm going through that weird teenager stage.
I looked at beanies, but immediately realized that they don't go with 1/2" long hair. I have a lot of bald spots on the top of my head. ( Spread a hand on the top of your head. That's what I need to cover, if not a little more. ) And some behind my ears. I'm not bold enough to go w/o a cover-up, and can't handle the stares.
So, what kind of hat goes with outfits better than ball caps an bandanas, but covers a large part of my scalp?

4 AnswersYahoo Answers10 years agoMy legs are aching for no reason at all...?
My legs are killing me... It feels like I've been running or something... But, it isn't my calf muscles. It's the front part of my lower legs- right in front of the bone it feels like. I haven't been running or doing anything... I've actually been sitting for an hour or so, working on homework. I do have low blood pressure. I'm 15. My legs have been doing this a lot here recently. They started hurting about an hour ago. Why are they hurting?

2 AnswersMusic & Music Players10 years agoMy eyelashes don't stay curled?
If anything, my eyelashes curl down... I try curlers, but my eyelashes are curled up until I blink. Then, they go back to normal. Is there any way to fix this other than mascarra or make-up? I don't wear make-up...and I don't want to... If they make clear mascarra, I'll get it ( if it will help with my eyelashesand doesn't clump them)...
Any suggestions?
5 AnswersOther - Beauty & Style10 years agoLow blood pressure not allowing me to run? What can I do about it?
I have low blood pressure and when I take walks around the neighborhood, after just 3 minutes it feels like I have been running hard. I usually ignore it, but I felt kinda bad for my standard poodle ( he walks behind me and is always "patient" with my slow pace) so I started running. He, of course, loved it- being able to run. But, I almost immediately felt light headed, my vision started to blur, and I felt extremely dehydrated. So, I stopped. It went away after a minute or two, and I started walking again. I've tried running/ jogging( starting out slow- getting faster) many other times. Not just outside, and I always get that feeling again.
When I got home ( 15-30 minutes later) I was completely exhausted, and when I sat down, my hands and fingers started tingling.
I will admit, I'm not the most "active" person. But, I'm not underweight or overweight, so I never felt the need to work out or take walks till I got my poodle. Also, I'm 15. So, is there anything I can do abut this? I don't want to take pills or see a doctor, ( I've never had good results with either), but I will if I have to I guess.
2 AnswersHeart Diseases1 decade agoKUB got to my Silver Maple. Will the tree make it?
I have a really big Silver Maple tree in my backyard. It had two main branches on it, making it ( under all the smaller branches) the shape of a Y. Well, a couple of years ago KUB came through and cut off one of the two main "arms". Since then it has lost and regrown limbs/branches of all sizes every time a good storm comes through. It hasn't dropped any big branches in a while tho. A lot of smaller branches are growing back where the one was cut.
I really don't want to have to cut the tree down, but I also don't want a storm to come through and either blow a massive branch off or blow the whole tree down....on our pool and house.
So, should I cut the tree? Or is it strong enough to hold up? ( I know a storm can blow down any tree, but I figure this one is weaker)
1 AnswerGarden & Landscape1 decade agoWhats the name of this song!?!?
I first heard it in Hollister last year. And now I just heard it in a Kmart commercial. I'm pretty sure it's a girl singer, but I can't tell what she says throughout the whole song. I forgot what the Kmart commercial was about...
I know it's not enough to know what the song is, but I've looked everywhere and can't find the song!

2 AnswersGarden & Landscape1 decade agoSwimsuit for 14 year old?
I'm fourteen ( almost fifteen) and I have a really, really flat chest. (I'm a girl....) Last year I had the triangle bikinis but the triangles where just so big...it was obvious I had no bust. I am wanting a swimsuit that is not a one piece or a tankini. I'm 5' 4" and skinny. And have no tan at all. I saw bandeaus, but my concern is- won't they fall down? I don't surf or anything, but I move alot in the pool and I like to go in the water at the beach; I'd hate to have to pull it up every three minutes. Is there a swimsuit that would make me look older than a 10 year old? Links or pictures would be nice!
P.S. I'm not trying to be "older" with a bandeau bikini, I just don't like the feel of a tankini or a one-piece, kind of how some guys go around shirtless everywhere...I wear tank tops all the time. Again, I'm not trying to be flashy for boys or anything, I'm wanting to please myself.
14 AnswersFashion & Accessories1 decade agoAre Radiata lionfish harder to keep alive than other lionfish?
I'm wanting another lionfish, and there's a Radiata at the fish store I'm in love with. I've heard they are more difficult to keep. Is this true? Are they more aggressive than...say a Volitan lionfish? ( I know they eat smaller fish, but I was wondering if they had temper issues, more so than other lionfish.) I have two Lions already, and they aren't difficult at all...

You know the hair cut Continental? Is that only for female poodles or for males too?
I have a male standard poodle and I really like the Puppy Cut, but he's already 5 months old.
Is there a trim that looks similar to Puppy cut for the poodles that are older than a year?
I was wanting his feet, base of his tail, face and his throat shaved, and the rest of his body an inch and a half ( or however long it's supposed to be).
4 AnswersDogs1 decade agoDoes my tang have ich?
I have a 5 inch Lopezi Tang. He eats normal, swims normal, no sign of stress. On his left side on his face the skin looks white. I looked closer at it and it isn't popped up, it's flat against his face. You know when you have dry or tannned skin and you run your fingernail over it? How it leaves a white trail? That's what it looks like on this fish. Only it's a big whiteish patch across the face and two smaller patches on his body. In the tank with the Lopezi is a Half Black Angelfish and a Dwarf Lionfish. I figured that ich would spread to the other fish, but it's been three(?) days and the others show no sign of whatever it is. How do I fix it?
