  • Can a home test pick up Meth residue in a home connected to a meth house?

    My mother lives in a town house. Her neighbor has weird smells coming from their home. A very strong chemical smell followed by other very VERY strong food smells... almost like they are trying to cover up the other smell... but it's still there underneath. My mom has started having problems breathing. The smells are driving her crazy. She actually went out and placed a bid on a new home last week without even putting her current home on the market) just to get away from it.

    I suggested she have the home tested for Meth. But she doesn't' want to spend $500 on someone to come out to test (especially since she is moving soon), and isn't sure the at home tests will be much help since its her enighbors and doens't think the residue woudl be in her home.

    So my question is, if a neighbor that is connected to you is cooking meth will the residue by in your home? and will a home test pick up on it?

  • Question about the Methodist religion.?

    My grandmother was Methodist, I’m Catholic by birth but I don’t practice. I don’t believe in organized religion so I don’t attend church, however I do believe in the basis of the religion (I hope that makes sense). My question is, my grandmother was cremated and I wanted to have some of her ashes put into a necklace. I found a beautiful Cross necklace with Celtic designs. However I’m not sure if it’s ok to put her ashes into a cross since she wasn’t catholic… do Methodists use the cross as a religious symbol? Should I just find another necklace to use?

  • Why does Yahoo keep deleting questions that are neither inappropriate or violate guidelines?

    Why does Yahoo keep deleting questions that are neither inappropriate or violate guidelines? I’m not talking about my own questions, but question I have commented on. BUT there are tons of spammy/troll type posts that clearly violate guidelines that aren’t removed. It’s so frustrating. After reading some of the questions I am interested to see how others respond, but then it’s deleted. I’d just like to understand why Yahoo keeps deleting the questions for apparently no reason. Is it because people report it? Because there have been questions I have reported (sexual in nature and inappropriate) but they aren’t deleted…..

  • Problem with the pperating system on my laptop?

    I have a problem. I bought an Acer laptop with Intel i5 Processor a while ago. Within a month of having it I somehow deleted my operating system. It had Windows 8 preinstalled. The hard drive is saying it has NOTHING on it. It’s been sitting in my closet for months now, and was wondering if there is anything I can do with it? Can I have the operating system reinstalled? If so is there any way I can have Windows 7 installed instead of Windows 8? I HATE Windows 8, and since I somehow deleted it from my computer without realizing it…. it obviously hates me too.

  • How long after taking antibiotics should your symptoms go away?

    I am on antibiotics for a double ear infection and a sinus infection. I started a 10 day prescription for Augmentin on 06/16 and it’s not 06/25 the 9th day. My ears still hurt (not as bad as a week ago but the pain is still there). And my sinuses are just as bad. I still wake up choking on the phlegm and can hardly breathe throughout the day. I spend all day trying to dislodge the phlegm from my throat so I can breathe. It’s so frustrating. Shouldn’t my symptoms be subsiding by now? How long after I am done the antibiotics should I go back to the doctor?

  • Help with Excel Formula?

    Need help with an Excel Formula?

    I took a class on excel ages ago but I can't seem to figure out how to create a specific formula.

    My spreadsheet will have 3 columns. The first will have a different number put in (according to sales) for each year, the second will be the same number every year ($25,000) the third column needs to show the difference between the two. However if the first column is a 0 then I need the third column to still show 0 (not -$25,000). how would I make a formula to allow this to happen?

    example:

    0................25,000............0

    250,000......25,000.........225,000

    100,000......25,000..........75,000

    I know I can get it to give me the difference by pulling in =(a1-b1) BUT if I put that in for the first set of numbers it will give me a negative number. I still need it to show 0.

  • Question about headaches.?

    I have been having pretty constant headaches lately (for the past few months). They are not horrible to the point that I have to stop my day to day activities BUT they are pretty intense and I am popping meds left and right to keep them under control. However I’m not sure if it’s bad enough to warrant a doctor’s visit. (I mean what could she really do for me… and I don’t want to waste her time if it’s not serious)

    I guess my question is recently (in the past few days) I have been getting a new type of headache. I have never had one that feels this way and I want to find out if it’s a common type of headache.

    The best way to describe it is a wave crashing. I can feel the pressure building in the back on my head for about 5 minutes (sometime shorter sometime longer) and then it sort of crashes towards the front of my head (my forehead area, behind my eyes and goes down to right below my nose). Once it crashes it’s a pretty bad throbbing pain that last about 30 seconds. Then once it goes away I can feel the pressure building again. Has anyone else had any type of headache like this?

  • Help with statistics.?

    I think I have the answer but if someone could verify I woudl appreciate it.

    The Arc electric company had an annual income of 101 million dollars last year. Suppose that mean income of the firms in the industry for a year is 95 million dollars with a standard deviation of 3 million dollars. If income for the industry are distributed normally, what is the probability that a randomly selected firm will earn less that Arc?

    I set up the problem like this: please let me know if I am correct or where I went wrong.

    z= 101-95 / 3

    = 6 / 3

    = 2

    = .9772

  • Is it possible to be drugged and not know it?

    recently i was told i did something at a party that i completely don't remember... i was told that i hooked up with this guy at a party (just kissing and messing did not have sex). However i don't remember any of it. I found out recently that the guy was arrested for slipping something in a drink and raping a girl...

    The issue i am having is that my friend suggested i may have been drugged since I don't remember it BUT she insists that it happened. But i always thought that if you are drugged you get sick, have blank spots and most always KNOW that something happened even if you can't remember it... nothing like that happened to me... i wasn't drinking so i remember the evening pretty good.. i mean i thought i did... but two other people have come forward to say that they saw me making out with this guy... so my question is...is it possible to be drugged and not know it?

  • 98 Ford Taurus Transmission Issues - Torque Converter?

    I have a 98 Ford Taurus. I just bought it a week ago and i noticed a couple days ago that it was having a bit of trouble shifting into 1st gear. After it gets past 1st it seems to be fine. This morning the "Service Engine Soon" Light came on. My brother in law ran diagnostic on it and says one code showed up for the torque converter. He knows nothing about transmissions so he could give me no advice.

    The problem is I just spent $2000 on this car so I have no money. Last Sept my vans transmission went and I ended up paying out $1100 to Aamco just to have them tell me that there was noting they coudl do and I needed a new transmission (which I didn't have the money for... so I ended up junking it).

    So I want to know if anyone has any idea about how much it will cost to have the torque converter fixed or if it can even be fixed... I am going to have to get a new transmission?
