I recommend you contacting your local department for children and families--that's the best method of intervention if a young child, as you suggest, is being harmed (physically and or psychologically). No child should ever have to endure abuse at the h...
Well, I'm excited to say that Mandy is our guest advisor for the next month here at Fun Advice. -S
Vicodin (brand name) is a hydrocodone aceta combo--it's literally an opioid pain reliever. The length any drug stays in your body depends on your current health status (and history). Generally speaking this particular drug has a minimum (can be much lo...
I agree with rnealw. SSRIs are generally much safer compared to older antidepressant drugs. I'll reiterate what rnealw said--contact your physician asap with any new side effects, problems or questions you may have. -S
I'm with editor, Canada? Or is it that one Bollywood type film?
I think it's really a personal taste type of thing. I'd love to go to Paris--it's amazing and the culture is amazing--others may like something more simple, a local type thing, London, whatever floats your boat! Take care. :-) -S
I should also mention that in the USA, bankruptcy is a legal process that usually requires legal council and a judge.
There are a lot of OTC creams available and usually do the job. There's one, a diphenhydramine cream, or better known as Benadryl. It'll help relieve the itching which may also increase the time for healing with better results. I have no idea what your...
I agree with Sue, I couldn't give mine up!
Lol, I love wearing glasses. I bought some vintage-retro 60's style glasses and I love them. I never liked contacts and although glasses can be annoying, I wouldn't get rid of them. -S
It's a social issue steeped in a very rocky and tumultuous history. We've made a lot of progress in this country and world-wide. I'm Caucasian and I do not breed hate or racism. We live in a diverse world and that's what's best about it. I wish racism ...
Well, we live in a new era where some folks can anonymously steal your entire life-it's not fun or fair (or legal), I know what it's like. It is possible for your identity to be stolen, even if you don't use the internet--it's more uncommon if you don'...
Chapter 7 is where a business or individual will lose certain assets to liquidation in order to pay some of the debt owed (of course there are stipulations on the assets that vary from state to state). Chapter 13 is a reorg. plan that basically lets yo...
Go to a salon. I've dyed my own hair before with nightmarish results. -S
A lot depends on what state/location you live in and more specifically where the "contract" or agreement was allegedly made. No legitimate company or entity doing business or offering services will allow someone under the age of 17 to enter into a cont...
As far as it being compulsory, no. But, love it or hate it, we live in a technological age where something as simple as an internet site can make or break a business. Depending on what your business offers, offering a website is a pretty good idea to i...
There's not really a difference I guess, unless the card is or isn't associated with a major issuer such as MasterCard or Visa. The debit card in general works simple--you load the card with money (via your bank or otherwise) and that money stays with ...
I just checked on CNN and it doesn't mention anything there. Additionally, I've not heard anything specifically about him being captured... dead or alive. You can keep up-to-date with the AP, www.ap.org or with Reuters, www.reuters.com for news. Take c...
I'm not sure what you're asking but if you have active or recurrent vag*nal bleeding you should go see a medical doctor promptly. If you're s*xually active you should begin seeing a gynecologist as soon as possible. Take care. -S
It is possible to become pregnant without penetration as is acquiring STD's. Regardless, you should see your physician about these problems. Once you've become se*ually active you should get a referral to a gynecologist. Take care. -S
Some of the basics--drink plenty of water, eat well-balanced, small meals or snacks every three hours, exercise, breakfast really is the most important meal of the day so don't skip out, you can keep the "healthy" fats in your diet, don't over-do it, a...
I have dark brown hair naturally but I dye black, lol. When you get the color you like, apply it and wash it out as soon as possible. For example, if the instructions say leave in for 20 minutes, wash it out a little sooner. The longer you leave the dy...
If you don't live in the USA you probably won't have a SSN from the Social Security Administration. These are generally issued to citizens of this country at time of birth or once legal immigration has been granted. I noticed you're from India so I'd f...
Your body is equipped with a fancy 'sleep timer' known as the circadian rhythm. It takes about 7 days or so for your circadian rhythm to begin adjusting to a new sleeping schedule--so it often makes it hard for us to adjust to even minor sleeping chang...
If you have no credit or poor credit using a prepaid card is your best shot at a Visa or MasterCard. Green Dot (http://www.getmygreen.com) is a pretty unique service I've seen around where you can get a prepaid MasterCard or Visa card. You can get them...
Aside from teaching there are quite a few. Journalism, publishing, museum work, go on to law school, local/state and federal government, banking, insurance, marketing or advertising, public relations, historical association/preservation sector, and I'm...
I agree with the above post, however realistic you may see it or not. There are a number of drug testing methods available for occupational needs or otherwise. Some employers are doing more in-depth testing of individuals because of the economical hard...
If you're not se*ually active the 'white dots' may be harmless. You should ask to see a medical doctor and get a physical if you've not had one in recent years--a physician should be able to clear up any worries you may have. Take care. :-) -S
Because you're already 18, I don't think law enforcement would consider you as 'missing' per se or as a runaway. As far as legal action, I can't say for sure, but if you have any pending legal action(s) against you they will act accordingly. I do, how...
I'm not too familiar with this market. Because of the massive amounts of scams you should first do a couple of things. What is the name of your lender and where is it located. Did you receive a solicitation via e-mail? Call or check the Better Business...
Aside from consulting jobs, have you tried doing transcription (medical, legal, etc.)? I've done medical transcription work briefly while I was in a nursing program. Generally, large corp's like experience or certification but some are willing to trai...
I agree with monicacharlene--take her advice, lol. Aside from some good advice I detect a nonsensical post (is that subtle enough? lol). Anyway... I'm afraid with parents, regardless of s*x issues, relationships, or anything else--they will worry about...
Generally speaking, we only have one chance at things in life and if we hold off on something just one second too long--it can be too late. Life is full of one chance hits and sometimes we hit dead-on and others we fail miserably at. We've gotta use ou...
You're not alone in that feeling! I think we all go through that at times during life, even though it's not fun or enjoyable, you can still get help. I'm a big fan for psychotherapy as a first line of treatment--talking to a therapist/counselor can hel...
This is a common issue with couples--have you or are you willing to try marriage/family therapy? Since you're Christian there are a number of private agencies that will help you. Below is a link to the American Association of Marriage and Family Therap...
Please refer to this post: http://www.funadvice.com/q/anorexica regarding this issue and pay close attention to the Advisor's posts there. Take care. -S
Does your friend snort or slam? If there's nerve damage from intravenous use it needs to be checked out. Cocaine use can result in anything from seizures with loc to heart attack or stroke. More commonly you'll find irreversible heart damage in someone...
I do not recommend that you go without food and or water for any period of time. Doing so will most likely cause irreversible damage to your organs/body. Talk with a nutritionist so you can get started on a healthy and solid diet/exercise plan. Losing ...
What's your age? Generally speaking lethargy and dizziness are symptoms rather than a specific disease. Most of us will experience both symptoms countless times throughout our life span and it'll probably increase with age. If you've not had a physical...
LOL I get like that all the time. I took a moral philosophy class toward the end of last year and we discussed all those issues and more. It's always fascinating to get others' ideas and opinions on things. As for politics: I'm a steadfast liberal! I'...
Well you could say bi-racial or multi-ethnic. Take care. :-) -S
Are you already in college or been accepted to one? If so, or if you know what school you'd like to go to, contact their financial aid office and they can give you a lot of help to get scholarships (academic or otherwise), grants (you don't have to pay...
It may be that since you're in the judicial system, records show that you have some sort of case(s) pending. I'm sure this goes along with civil/non-criminal actions as well. I'm really not familiar with employment laws but if you have an attorney I re...
Take a look at the US Department of Labor's website for occupations at: http://ww.bls.gov/oco/ocos097.htm. It'll provide you with education, salary, outlook information, and much more. Take care. :-) -S
It's so nice to passion in people. I always recommend getting an education to people who ask me, regardless of what you'd like to do with your life. There are a ton of collegiate programs that involve the acting profession. Try and get a realistic view...
If the leukorrhea is yellow-ish a/o foul smelling you should consult with your doctor. It can be anything from an infection to an std--so it's better to err on the safe side and get your physician to check it out. :-) -S
I know, and so do many others, what you're going through. Can you get a student loan for the remainder of your program? That's what I did (in addition to grants and scholarships), you can pay interest in school or defer everything until graduation. It'...
Contact the Social Security Administration and talk with someone there. There may be a couple of options for you to get a replacement card. You should also notify them that you've lost your birth certificate and social security card, I'd contact the DM...
It is absolutely crucial that you let your parents know immediately. If you plan on keeping the baby then you have to see an OB/GYN ASAP for prenatal treatment. The first thing of importance should be telling them so you can receive the necessary medic...
Try something along the lines of.. "touching will result in forfeiture of any body part that comes in contact with this stomach." I can imagine how annoying something like this would get--but I say be blunt and forward. :-) -S
