  • Can anybody tell me what movie this would have been?

    I'm trying to find a movie that I saw when I was little. All I can remember is in one scene - I think it was at the beginning - there is a man driving a pick up truck in the middle of the night. He comes across a glowing brick wall in the middle of a field or something. Then I remember that same man in some kind of enclosure, naked and screaming and surrounded by something that looks like spotted cow utters. Later I guess his body is dropped off in the field, and some people find him there completely naked and disoriented. This is all I can remember and it's driving me crazy to find out what movie it was. It scared the hell out of me as a kid!

  • Using an android phone internationally?

    I am going to be traveling through Europe in the fall, and I have an android phone that picks up wifi. It isn't compatible for international use, but does anyone know if I could still access the internet through wifi on the phone? The representative for my carrier couldn't answer this question. Thanks.

  • Best way to lose about 30lbs?

    First: I want to lose about 30 lbs and keep it off. I wouldn't want to lose any more than that. My current weight is 160 lbs. I already have a gym membership and I am in fairly good shape as far as cardio stamina goes, but I'm not very strong. Is 6 months a reasonable amount of time to lose 30 lbs?

    Second: Currently, I go to the gym 6 or 7 days a week. I do 20 - 30 minutes of cardio (usually eliptical) and 10-15 minutes of weights (arms one day, legs another). I am not feeling very challenged and I'm not losing any weight of course. What can I do to actually lose weight? I can spend more time than just 45 minutes if that helps. Which machines would be best to use and for how long - and which weight machines will help tone my body? I want to lose inches and build a little muscle as well.

    Third: As far as eating habits, I have hypoglycemia and was advised to eat every two hours to keep my blood sugar under control. What types of food do you suggest for someone who is trying to lose weight? I usually eat snacks high in protein because they help keep me full and my blood sugar level steady. I can't eat plain fruit as a snack - it would have to be with something, and I can't eat most carbs - they have to be complex. The protein bars or drinks that I see in the store have too much sugar in them for me to eat. What are some filling meals/snacks that will fill me up and keep my blood sugar steady?

    I'm sorry for the multitude of questions, I just need a plan in mind. Thank you for any help you can offer me.

  • Exercise for person with one leg shorter than the other?

    A friend of mine is looking to lose some weight but is having an extremely difficult time due to one leg being shorter than the other. This person does not have health insurance, so does anyone know what they can do based on their own experiences? He has a considerable amount of back pain and leg pain when using treadmills or ellipticals. Does anyone know of some exercises that will ease the pain in his legs and back, and does anyone know what kind of shoes would be good to buy and where to buy them? I read online that ASICS are a good brand for people with problems, but I'm not sure which pair would be best or if he should even get them at all. Thanks!

  • How do I deal with this situation?

    Okay I'm completely at a loss for what to do right now. At the beginning of the semester, my friend and I decided we would split the cost of a lab manual and share it since we had labs on different days. She asked me to pick it up because she wasn't in the state yet, so I bought it and she said she would pay me back. Well you probably all know how this goes, she never did. In fact, I haven't seen the lab manual since early September and had to drop the class because I failed lab for not being prepared (there are only six labs total, so missing one completely screwed me). I didn't stay mad at her though, she kept apologizing and she seemed really sorry that she didn't get it to me in time so I figured it was just something bad that happened and I can't really do anything about that. I've been friends with this girl for at least four years, and I knew she would never purposely do anything like that to me. I did ask her for my half of the money though, because of course I'll have to sign up for the same class in the spring and will need it again. Every time I saw her from that point, she would acknowledge that she has to pay me back.. but somehow the money never seemed to be on her. Now it's been so long to the point that I am extremely irritated with her over it. She's avoiding the subject completely now; I texted her the other day asking her when her class was over and she immediately replied. So I asked her if I could get my half. She never answered. I keep calling her and she doesn't pick up and she's never where we usually met up before classes to chat. She only answers texts if they're not about the money (I tried staying positive and being friendly with her but that's quickly died...). I caught her on facebook last night and I said hey, can you pay me tomorrow? And she said it was fine and we would meet up after my first class (she said that time was perfect). Well I waited for half an hour and she never showed up, never answered any texts or phone calls and won't answer my facebook message either.

    So I really don't know what to do here. I normally would've never agreed to share a book with anyone for all of the problems I've been going through with this girl, but we have been friends for four years and she's always been a great friend! She moved into the college apartments this year, and ever since she's been acting like a completely different person. She doesn't want to hang out with me at all and she just gets wasted all the time with her new 'roomie'. She still has textbooks that I lent her over the summer also. Anybody have any ideas? I'm so angry and confused at the same time, I don't know what to do.

  • My cat has a swollen foot, how can I help him until tomorrow?

    My cat's foot is swollen and he won't put any weight on it. There are no bite wounds and no fever, but I can see a clear lump on top of the area right above his paw. He won't walk on it, but he'll lay on it. He's still eating normally as long as I bring his food to him, and he's purring but he is of course resting a lot. Can I safely wait to take him to the vet tomorrow? It's Sunday.. so there is only one vet open and they are TERRIBLE, I will only take him there if it is an absolute emergency.. and pet ER's are a joke ($80 just to look at him, they won't hold him there or anything they said they'll check him and then I'll have to take him to the vet tomorrow anyway...). I just want to make sure he'll be okay until then. If I can wait until tomorrow without much worry, what are some things I can do to make sure he's comfortable and not getting worse?

    Thanks

  • Can you mix tape worm tablets with Revolution?

    I noticed my cat had worms but I had not received my shipment of Revolution yet, so I bought him Praziquantel tablets from Petco. I just received my shipment of Revolution and I was wondering if I can still administer it to him even though I gave him the tablets about a week ago?
