  • My dog I had for 11 years died
    I am very sorry for your loss. I know this must be a very hard time for you. Loosing a loved pet is always difficult. I know a family who continuously has the same breed of pet after one dies of old age. Perhaps in time you can convince your parents (I...

  • Why does paper have to be made from wood?
    I think bamboo is a viable alternative to regular large trees since they grow very fast.

  • How do I get rid of ants in the kitchen
    Use windex... kills them right away. I have heard peppermint oil helps as well... clean counters and wipe with peppermint oil. I hear ants hate the peppermint oil and stay away from it. The upside is using peppermint oil makes your kitchen smell minty ...

    I would suggest lots of exercise, watch what you eat as the dude mentioned and more than anything do sit ups to strengthen your back and stomach. Having an exercise ball helps. Good luck.

  • How do I get rid of permanent hair dye?
    I would go to a professional color specialist to get the right color and then go from there. It is a little bit of an investment but if you don't want to use bleach to lighten your hair, professional help might be the best solution to your hair issues....

    Make sure you read the label and if you are eating out make sure you ask what is in the food.

    You may be out of condition right now because of the lack of practice but I am sure with practice you will be able to get back to where you were a year ago with gymnastics.

  • What do I do my son's 8th birthday? (100.00%)

    Depending on your level of current fitness, do some stretching and try either yoga, stretching, or some light form of exercise to start with. It's really hard to give advice on what you should do without knowing your level of fitness, and even then I r...

  • colour contact problem
    Try talking to your optometrist about this but I don't think it is a good idea to put two contacts in your eye at one time. The safest bet is either to see if you can get colored lenses in your prescription or to wear glasses while you have to colored ...

    Going dancing next weekend :) thanks for the help.

    I think it is a type of hair dye but I am not sure. From what I understand it doesn't last as long as hair dye. My suggestion would be to just ask your hair dresser what it is and how it will affect your hair.

  • History musical?
    It hink combining history and art is a great idea. I think you can adapt any musical to inlude both history and art. Choose a musical which is set in a certain period and then get the kids to create the backdrops etc. Maybe ask your class to sugges...

    I think it is completely fine to eat spicy food whilst pregnant as long as you feel ok with it. If you don't feel any adverse reactions to eating spicy food then there should be no problem. I am pretty sure it does not harm your baby in any way.

  • My son will be 3 in 4 months. He still puts anything/everything i
    I don't know what the official name for htis is. Constantly reminding your son to not put things in his mouth should eventually work (I know this can be very tiring). My older son who is now five had the same problem but has slowly grown out of it (mos...

  • Should I Get Layers?
    I think it would make your hair a little more manageable. Usually thick healthy hair is nice (my opinion). If it's unmanageable you might think about using some smoothing products. The Fredrick Fekkai line (glossing cream especially) works well for me....

  • Stretch Marks
    I have heard that Maderma helps with stretch marks. You do have to apply it three times a day though which is a big commitment. During the pregnancy if she used a lot of mosturiser on her belly that would have helped too. Now if she just works on t...

  • Robot Lawnmower (100.00%)
    Friendly robotics makes something called a robomower that is a little over $1000 dollars. I don't know how well it works but you can get it at sears or target.

    Be patient ... it should grow back. Also depending on the type of gecko, they store their fat in their tail and they need to be kept warm and fed well. I would suggest calling a vet just to get some advice maybe that way they can tell you exactly ...

  • Baby Milk
    I think SMA would be fine they seem to be a reputable brand in the UK at least. Whenever you switch your babies milk make sure you keep an eye on him/her and make sure she/he isn't allergic or react badly to that type of milk. Consult your baby's pedia...

  • Hit On Me

  • Difference between closing on a house at the end of the month vers
    There shouldn't be a cost difference on the closing costs per se because this covers third party fees such as the title company fee, tax stamps, and such. The good faith estimate should have details about your closing costs. You can get a HUD-1 Settlem...

  • Violent Maker-out-er
    I would suggest talking to her directly about it, but if you can't talk to her face to face write her a note. Be nice when you express your discomfort but be honest.
