HI Gang... I need some info and I'm hoping you all can help. We are due to drive to Disney on Friday of next week and yesterday my husband seems to have ruptured a disk in his lower back, leading to horrific lumbar/sciatic pain. This morning he had to CRAWL down the stairs and into the...

I teach job hunting skills to university students....one of the cardinal rules is NEVER to 'cold-call' and send your resume or cover letter -- since both of these need to be tailored individually for EACH AND EVERY job you apply for. If you emailed your info to the company, and weren't...

My hubby is now 44 and I'm 37...I'll be 38 in July and.... We are expecting our first child ANY DAY NOW!!! *bounce* Heck, we spent last night in labor and delivery for contractions. :) We have some of the same concerns, but then decided we would regret more, the decision NOT to have...

To clarify... I've had several in office surgeries in the past -- hence my anxiety. For all four I was 'numbed' up according to usual procedures and left for 10-15 minutes for the numbing to take effect -- IT DIDN'T. Have any of you had a hole cut in the instep of your foot so they can...

*lol* I'm due in 4 weeks with our first child and we do post preggo related things often on FB...but mainly because our friends are several states away and our family is scattered from east coast US to Australia...so FB is the easiest way to include them in things. That said, yes, we will...

Okay...question... I have been putting off getting several moles looked at for faaaaaaaaaaaaaar too long. I'm 37, fair skinned and spent many years growing up in Florida where I was a competitive swimmer (during the 80's when waterproof sunscreens were not really waterproof). Anyway, with...

Ditch the pantyhose and switch to stockings (either stay-ups or with garters). My hubby loves the look of them...and I don't have the binding around my waist or the infuriating (and seemingly inevitable) 'twisted thigh' I ALWAYS got with pantyhose. If I want my belly sucked in, then I wear...

Actually, people who are given OBEs are nominated and go through a long vetting process, during which the nominator has to prove and decision committee consider whether the person has performed some meritorious service for the British Empire. OBE nominees do not even have to be living in the...

We use it every week to video call my in-laws in Australia. If THEY can use it, I'm sure you can manage it. :))

I've been on both sides. I went to a small state school majoring in communication. There were several TAs in the department, but they only graded multiple choice tests, the profs graded our written assignments. As a TA during my PhD studies, I graded papers for a journalism professor. We...

I'd be VERY careful. I got my PhD from one of the biggest and best national universities in Australia and had a hard time getting it accepted in the US when I returned home, and online degrees are viewed with even cynically. There are a few 'brick'n'mortar' universities that do offer online...

Gotta say that I would report her to MK as well. I mean, the last thing they would want is people thinking this was the 'norm'. I sure as hell wouldn't purchase anything from a company that condoned that. Now, while I understand that MK doesn't condone that, not everyone would be aware of that.

I feel for you...it is so frustrating when you know something isn't right but the doctors can't seem to figure it out (there is a reason they call it medical PRACTICE -- unfortunately for us!). First off, whoever said they could tell about ovarian cancer with a transvg ultrasound is...

I would relax a bit (I know it is hard Mama!) I was dx with a goiter about 2 years ago now. I had a rather large lump on the right side of my thyroid and a smaller one on the left. They did the bloodwork (normal) and did an ultrasound. The nodules looked benign, but they sent me for a biopsy...

I went to a 4 week program at a NC university from the time I was 12-17 and LOVED it! We went to classes during the day (morning was academic, afternoons were creative/sports/etc....). We had 'study hall' in the evenings, dances, movies and field trips on the weekends. It was fantastic! It...

I was dx with it years ago. I don't know where you are looking, but there is a TON of information on the internet about it. I have never had any problem researching the condition, treatments and more complex medical articles about it (academic journal articles). Heck, when I was diagnosed...

I am sorry for your nieces disappointment, but some of the responses make me laugh. Seriously, if you don't want to go to a school with 'and administration like that' I would suggest not going to college at all. Thanks to technology -- MISTAKES HAPPEN all the time, I work in a university and...

Sometimes you'll get freshmen who are not good at making friends. If they have a roommate that is more social, they shadow them so they have a social group 'by proxy'. The downside is when the more social roommate moves on and wants to live with their friends, the non-social one does get left...

Spending longer times there can be *ahem* interesting. The best man from our wedding spent 3 years there, hired on to run a major hotel just prior to the Olympics. He and his wife HATED it there and were counting down the days until they could go ANYWHERE else. Since they were there for...

Good degrees might include: animation/graphic arts Computer animation and game design mechanical engineering electrical engineering Going to a school in Orlando won't help you much (the university there doesn't have a stellar program in any of the above degrees). The key to getting in...
