Q: What have been some major conflicts of Great Britain in the past, that aren't connected to America, and affected a lot of different classes of people?
All I can find are conflicts having to do with the colonists and all that jazz.
If you have anything that would really be great.
Thanks a bunches of oats! =]

Try between France (Hundred Years' War), between Ireland, between Scotland, between Wales, between Spain, and between Australia.
Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/England for more stuff on England. I would suggest that the Hundred Years' War would be easiest since it was such a big event.

Q: is it possible to acquire food poisoning by eating two foods together? are any foods eaten together deadly?

Two foods together? Like potatoes and peas? I wouldn't think so, or else everyone who ate shepherd's pie would be home sick. And I would guess like a poisonous food like black pepper in large amounts with something else poisonous or even something non-poisonous would make them deadly... or poisonous. If you meant something else, which I would imagine to be likely, leave me a message or something, and I can answer that one.

Q: http://www.buycostumes.com/Category/0/Pr...
I got that costume for halloween. It looks good on me, i'm wearing black tights under the leg warmers and i'm wearing black flats with like a half a quarter inch heel. I tried to put a tank top under it but it ruins the whole look.
So I think i'm going to wear a cardgigan over it thats tight fitting. If this is a good idea should I wear a black or pink 1? Imagine the costume with the black tights. If I shouldnt wear a cardigan than what should I wear that will cover my up a little but not cover half of the dress?

Bulimia can cause following health problems:
-Malnutrition
-Dehydration
-Electrolyte imbalance, which can cause cardiac arrest or brain damage by stroke
-Hyponatremia
-Acne
-Damaging of the voice
-Vitamin and mineral deficiencies
-Teeth erosion and cavities, gum disease
-Salivary gland swelling (sialadenosis)
-Potential for gastric rupture during periods of binging
-Esophageal reflux
-Irritation, inflammation, and possible rupture of the esophagus
-Laxative dependence
-Peptic ulcers and pancreatitis
-Emetic toxicity due to ipecac abuse
-Swelling of the face and cheeks, especially the lower eyelids, due to the high pressure of blood in the face during vomiting; for the same reason --Purpura can occur, a rash caused by burst blood vessels.
-Callused or bruised fingers
-Dry or brittle skin, hair, and nails, or hair loss
-Lanugo
-Edema
-Muscle atrophy
-Decreased or increased bowel activity
-Digestive problems that may be triggered, including celiac, Crohn's Disease
-Low blood pressure (hypotension)
-Orthostatic hypotension
-High blood pressure (hypertension)
-Iron deficiency
-Anemia
-Hormonal imbalances
-Hyperactivity
-Depression
-Insomnia
-Amenorrhea
-Infertility
-High risk pregnancy, miscarriage, still-born babies
-Diabetes
-High blood sugar (hyperglycemia)
-Ketoacidosis
-Osteoporosis
-Arthritis
-Weakness and fatigue
-Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
-Cancer of the throat or voice box
-Liver failure
-Kidney infection and failure
-Heart failure, heart arrhythmia, angina
-Seizure
-Paralysis
-Death caused by heart attack or heart failure; lung collapse; internal bleeding, stroke, kidney failure, liver failure; pancreatitis, gastric rupture, perforated ulcer, depression and suicide.
So as you can see, acne is a symptom, but is probably to least of your problems; I suggest you get some help. Good luck.

Q: 17/f/Australia.
It's almost summer here in Austraila and I really need help with my wardrobe.
I hate summer and basically live in black skinny jeans.
People describe me as emo/scene.
I don't like it but that's what people say. And I'm only writing it here to give you an idea of my style of clothing.
What on earth can I wear for summer??
I'm petite if you need to know.
Any pictures would be great.
But whatever you do don't give links to or tell me to wear fluro clothing. It's one thing I cannot stand.
Thanks so much to anyone who can help me!

Try Banana Republic, H&M, and the Gap for cute petite clothing. Skinny jeans are all the rage here in America, reserved for the thin and small-framed. Just try different shades of denim, especially now vibrant colors, like red and yellow. Wear them with flowy tops, I don't think that's what you mean by "fluro clothing". Also try denim or pintucked shorts with cute tanks, which are easy to find. Hope I helped!

Q: so if polygamy is illegal in the U.S. how are there places like Centenial Park where it's filled with polygamists? wouldn't the police or government take over those places? how does that work...
|
|
|
|
|
|

|

|

Wikipedia says:
"Secular law in most western countries with large Jewish and Christian populations does not recognize polygamous marriages. However, few such countries have any laws against living a polygamous lifestyle: they simply refuse to give it any official recognition. Parts of the United States, however, criminalize even the polygamous lifestyle; these laws originated as anti-Mormon legislation, although they are rarely enforced. Polygamists may find it harder to obtain legal immigrant status."
I'd go with that; it seems like a pretty solid answer.

Q: is it true if you pop your back you'll stop growing??
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I wouldn't think so. This is more of a question for WebMD, but even I don't think so, since if you pop your back, why would that stop places like your torso and legs from growing. This is just an educated guess, and I'm not positive. But I am fairly sure that you would keep on growing, I wouldn't worry about it.

Q: Hi. Okay, well. For Christmas, my sister, brother & I all got cell phones for Christmas-and we have the basic plan along with 250 texts each [pr. month]---that costs $5.
I've been begging my mom to get unimited texting, which is $5 more than what we have. I've even offered to pay for it!
But anyways, here's the bad part.
Plain and simple, I went over last month ($10 worth) as did my brother- and she didn't make us pay for it.
Then I did it again this month-about $50 worth--as did me, my sister and my brother. It obviously wasn't done intentional, but she tells me that I should have learned from it the first time. And then she goes on to say that "there's no reason to haev unlimited texting"...
Obviously there is, if I just went over.
But anyways, she
a) took away my phone for a month
b) is making me pay for it
c) i can't go out for a whole week, (with Halloween being an exception...but I have to go with my little cousins.)
I basically wrote a whole gigantic e-mail and I told her that it was unfair that if I was paying for it and my phone (my LIFELINE) was taking away for a month, that's basically enough for a punishment. I really want to go to a party tomorrow, it's a sleepover party. The boy that I like is going to be there, and I rarely see him because he lives in another town. I really want to go because of that and a TON of my other friends are going. Additionally, I already told my friend that I was going to her party last night. Ive been looking forward to this all week.
I told her that I didn't need to sleep over, to try and bargain with her....
So what do you think I should do?
thank you for taking the time to read this.

If your mom doesn't want you to have unlimited texting, deal. I agree it's unfair, but she's only going to get angrier if you try to contradict her. Tell her that you're sorry that you went over again, and that you'll never do it again. Soften her up, and then give a good reason why she should let you go to the party. Just stay the golden girl in your mom's eyes, as hard as it is when you want to be a rebel, but you'll get to do almost whatever you want. Good luck!

I use Abreva. Like that ad that says "No one looks hot with a cold sore." Yeah. You can get it at a drugstore. In the meantime, sort of cover it up with water-based cover-up. It'll make it go away pretty quick.

Q: I'm doing an essay on why animal testing should be made illegal. I need 3 different points to talk about, and so far I have:
1) cruel and inhumane
2) highly unreliable
I can't seem to find another one that isn't too similar to the ones I've already listed. I've tried Google already.
So my question is, does anyone know of another point I could use that isn't almost exactly the same as what I'm already using? Thanks. :]

Q: I have never been made fun of or anything before in my life, cause I`ve never done anything to give anyone a reason to be mean to me. On Monday, I just sat where I did every day like all the other days and these other guys sat back there too. I was sitting with my best friend & they were saying how 'hot' she was and then they just randomly started making fun of me. They went on for about fifteen minutes about how ugly I was and everytime I`d turn around they would yell, "OH MY GOD! Ew!" I got off a stop early with my friend and just sat there and cried for about ten minutes. For some reason, this bothered me more than anything anyone has ever said to me. I haven`t really been happy since Monday and I stopped riding the bus. Is there something I can do to get over this? Or is there some way to just forget about it or something?

That would bother me too. Don't fret, even though it's hard to think that they think you're ugly, and that if that's what they think, then what do other people think?! Well I'll tell you, guys are jerks. They just won't pay attention to other people's feelings. Try not to take it too hard. Come up with some witty comebacks and tell yourself that their comments don't matter anyway. Good luck!

Your jeans probably don't fit correctly on the waist. You could starch it maybe, or go to the tailor and have it suckered back to fit. Sorry if this wasn't much help, but there's not really much else you can do; it's just the way your jeans are made.

You shouldn't lose weight. I am 13, am 5"5 and weigh 125 lbs. And that is perfectly healthy. You are probably perfectly healthy too. If you're just out of shape, and want to be more athletic, go biking or swimming. Trust me, your weight is fine.

Q: 13/F
I was talkign about dating Corwin. He and i are just friends now... Well... Were. He came up to me and my friends saying we were being really loud. Then, he walked away from us down the hall and disappeared. Well, my friends started saying rude things, I told them yea, whatever, just hush. Well, it turns out. He must have super hearing because heard the other girls. Now, he thinks we aren't his friends. He says it's all an act. I tired to tell him we're still friends, but he doesn't believe us. It makes me sad. Corwin is really cool and all, but I dont' want him to be alone again. What do I do???

I don't know why he's not being friends with you. I don't know why he has a stick up his ass either. Is he always so sensitive? Talk to him and say you don't want some rude things your friends said to get in the way of your friendship. Say that you're sorry if it hurt his feelings, but that you'd like to get past it. This is all you can do without bringing in flowers and chocolates and a box of tissues, and if he won't accept it... well I don't know what is problem is.

Yes it is probably screwed up. I nor most other people will be able to tell what's wrong with it with this short symptom. It's like telling a doctor via e-mail that you have a sore throat and want him to tell you whether you have a cold, strep throat, or need to have your tonsils removed. Sorry. I suggest bringing it to Best Buy to have a proper diagnosis. Sorry if this isn't the answer you wanted to hear, but it's true.

Q: This guy I really want to ask to homecoming just got a girlfriend. I go to an all girls school and he goes to an all boys school. His girlfriend doesn't go to my school though. I wanted to know if you think it would be ok if I still took him to my homecoming. Or would that be totally off limits.
P.S I don't like him, we are just really good friends.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|

Normally it would not be acceptable, but if you want to invite him as friends only, because he is off-limits obviously, he can talk to his girlfriend about it. If she doesn't feel comfortable with it, which is actually a very good chance, you might want to invite someone else so he isn't on shaky ground with his girlfriend per sakes of your desire to have at your homecoming.

Happy 2008! My name is Dana for those of you who don't know, and I obviously love to give advice, because if I didn't, I wouldn't be here. I will pick at anyone who doesn't bother to capitalize their "I"'s or the beginnings of sentences. Proper grammar and spelling is very important to me. bcuz it Just loooks soooo sloppie when u type lyke this. So a word to the wise, and for the majority of you that it doesn't apply to, think about it, and watch yourself. Second of all, I will never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever write something that is not true. So therefore I am always right. So stand down and accept it. (Note: that also means that my "opinions" are actual facts. At least the ones I bother to write.)
Never ask me anything about how fat you are or love life. Cliched, I know, but I am heartless when it comes to the truth. If you don't know what to do with your cheating boyfriend that you still love, go ask someone else since I could not care less. Seriously.
Have a nice day!
Love,
missbananafontana
