First off, I'd like to say that I know nobody here is a doctor. I'm not looking for a diagnosis, I'm just looking for opinions, maybe somebody here has experienced this.
Also, do not just tell me to see a doctor, that's too pricey for me at the moment without medical insurance.

This may be long because of backstory I feel like I should add but may not be needed.

Alright so, last week I was convinced I got external hemorrhoids. I had pain when I pooped, some blood, and a decent sized bump on my anus after straining during a large poop that was in no way coming out naturally.
Now the thing is, I've always had large poops and slight constipation growing up. There has always been pain because of these large poops and the pain caused me to go a couple weeks 'holding it in' when I was about 8 because I was just so scared of it. My family has never eaten a particularly healthy diet and it doesn't help that the only veggies I can stomach are potatoes and corn. (I'm currently trying to fix the constipating and large/hard poops by drinking more water, eating some more foods high in fiber and taking fiber powers packets or stir in water.

I always strain when I poop because I'm always slightly constipated, and I poop every few days rather than everyday.

For the passed few weeks I noticed a slight bump on my anus when I would wipe after pooping, it didn't hurt or itch. I ignored it - probably in denial of possible hemorrhoids. It wasn't until last week after that particularly large poop that the cut really grew in size and convinced me I had hemorrhoids. Immediately I looked up home treatments and I now have some TUCKS products coming in the mail to help.

Now just a few minutes ago, my 'hemorrhoid' was really itchy. I tried ignoring it, not wanting to irritate it. Eventually it got so bad that I lost self control to I went to the bathroom to gently wipe with babywipes to relieve some itching (it worked). I noticed there wasn't a bump. None. But my anus itches and when I shifted a certain way on the toilet there was a sharp pain on my anus for not even a second and it went away.

Now I'm wondering, do I have hemorrhoids or just a cut on my anus?

From what I understood while reading about hemorrhoids, the bump stayed. It could be removed with surgery or pain could be relieved by applying the appropriate products on it. Or am I wrong?

I'm not entirely sure, which is why I seek some opinions from people who may have experienced this or just know more about it than I do. (link)

So I've been wanting to buy an iPad for awhile now and I was just causally mentioned it in conversation to a friend the other day. That friend went on to tell me that an iPad has phone capabilities and you need to pay a monthly fee like for a Smartphone to have one...is that true? I didn't think/know that.

If that's not true, which GB iPad should I get? I want the 1st generation; the cheaper ones lol. I would use it to surf the web(obviously), download apps/play apps, watch videos, stuff like that.
I'm really slow when it comes to GB sizes so I don't know what's a lot and what isn't.

Thank you! (link)
Apple iPad (First Generation) MC496LL/A Tablet (32GB, Wifi + 3G)
^I found that on Amazon. Is that good? What exactly is the 3G and is that a lot of space regarding GB?


What is this?? I literally bought Late Night, Generations, and Ambitions only about 2 weeks ago. And I got Pets this weekend, and it worked fine. I just played and saved the game last night, and when I opened it today for the first time, I got this error. And I restarted the application multiple times, and I'm still getting this error.

Dear god, let this be fixable. I don't want all the time I spent on that town to go for nothing. If I have to lose the game I don't even want to play Sims anymore, and I want a refund. If this issue isn't fixable then what's the point of starting another game when the same thing could happen to it in the future? This is ridiculous. After spending so much money on expensive Sims games, people shouldn't have to put up with this BS

I didn't even download anything yesterday or today, so it can't be from some conflicting file or anything. I'm completely at a loss.

If it makes any difference, I have Windows Vista, too. And I downloaded my games from Amazon.

Images of the error:

I've been playing the Sims since it first came out in 2000 so I know how attached you can get to a family. I've personally never had this error pop up before. I've had other errors, but never this one. I'm going to give the usual (probably useless) advice. Though I have done a little research and I've found some links that might be useful to you.

-Have you downloaded custom content? If so, you may have downloaded a bugged/corrupted file that is causing the game to have this error. I suggest erasing any CC you have and redownloading it one at a time and checking your game. That way, you'll know what works and what doesn't.
-Is your game up to date? Try downloading the latest patch if you have not already.
-Do you have enough memory/video on your computer to handle all those Sims 3 games? This might also be why.

Things that I've found:
http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/517501.page (People giving advice to this person with the same problem as you. Nothing seemed to work for them but it might for you)
http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/504419.page (This one seems the most promising. Scroll down a bit and NicCool45 will make a post about deleting cache files. Doing this help fixed an error I had in my own game once, though not this error.)
Or there's this http://simswiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:TS3_Load_Issues#A_Serious_Error_has_occurred_error

I hope something in my reply was able to help you, I totally understand how frustrating Sims 3 errors can be since I've had my fair share of them to deal with. I think the game is worth it though.

If worse comes to worse, you might have to delete the family, uninstall and then reinstall all the games. Annoying? Absolutely. But your saved game may be corrupted and this will be the only way to fix it.


I have an At&T palm pixie.
I want a case for it, I went to the mall but they didn't have any that I liked. I also went to the at&t shop and they didnt have any period.
Does anyone know of any other places I can too where I can get a case for it? (link)
There are a bunch of different ones on Ebay!

so i shaved my arms and i think it looks good but i dont know if it was a good idea
(link)
It probably wasn't. You're going to have to keep up with that. If you don't, the hair will grow back in darker, coarser, and thicker. There's nothing you can do about it now, though. I suggest just wax them from now on, you won't have to shave them everyday.


no matter what i use i have horrible blackheads on my nose and its hard to cover up! what can i use? (link)
I found a bunch of different ways to help remove them, http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20060731200638AAHo3DV
(The peel-off face mask suggestion really helps a lot. I literally just got done doing one an hour ago, aha. The peel-off masks I use are these, http://www.montagnejeunesse.com/face-masks/peel-offs
You can get them from Claire's.

For covering up, I use liquid foundation that matches my skin tone from Victorias Secret. And then on top of that I use Love & Matteness oil-free pressed power. I get that from Kohls.

That routine works for me, it might not for you. Everybody is different. Doesn't hurt to try though.
Hope I could help.


Last night i had this awfully vivid dream. It started by me looking out the window and my car light was on. Went to grab my keys and looked out the window again and there was a dead body on top of my car. Every time i looked out the window there were more and more mangled dismembered bodies. The police and forensic were there cleaning and i walked out the door and saw more dead bodies. I never had a dream about this. What could it possibly mean? (I'm 20/f) (link)
Alright, I've broke down your dream into peices and found interpretations for those peices.

Parked car;
"To see a parked car in your dream suggests that you need to turn your efforts and energies elsewhere. You may be needlessly spending your energy in a fruitless endeavor. Alternatively, a parked car may symbolize your need to stop and enjoy life."

Headlights;
"To see a car's headlights in your dream indicate your inability to look beyond the past. You are dwelling on old issues. Alternatively, the dream suggests that you are being caught off guard or caught by surprised as in a "deer in the headlights."

If your headlights are on high beam, then it means that you are forcing your opinions and views on others."

Dead;
"To see the dead in your dream forewarns that you are being influenced by negative people and are hanging around the wrong crowd. This dream may also be a way for you to resolve your feelings with those who have passed on. Alternatively, the dream symbolizes material loss. If you dream of a person who has died a long time ago, then it suggests that a current situation or relationship in your life resembles the quality of that deceased person. The dream may depict how you need to let this situation or relationship die and end it."

I got these interpretations from http://www.dreammoods.com/. You should save this website because they have interpretations about almost everything. I hope I could help you.


Does anyone know where around Illinois I could buy a bustle skirt? Please get back to me asap. (link)
I'm sorry, I don't live anywhere near Illinois so I can't answer your question exactly how you want.

However, I can make some suggestions.

Try looking at any thrift/salvation army/vintage stores in your area.
If you can't find one there, there are tons on Ebay. Maybe even try some costume stores or Hot Topic. Never know what you can find there.

If those don't work out, you can definitely get one from Ebay;
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=bustle+skirt&_sacat=See-All-Categories
You can even choose your price range.
Hope I could help you somehow, good luck.


I know this will be silly but I'm curious. I had a dream that my g- grandma gave me this ring that was like superpowerful. There was like chaos and mutant animals of darkness on the streets and stuff (lol)! So I used the ring but in doing so I also sacrificed myself just like my great grandmother did. I knew I was going to die if I stopped the chaos but I did anyway. There might have been more details but i don't remember them. Yeah and in a lot of my dreams I often die. So what do you think this dream could symbolize in your opinion. Thanks. (link)
"To dream of your own death indicates a transitional phase in your life. You are becoming more enlightened or spiritual. Alternatively, you are trying desperately to escape the demands of your daily life.

To dream that you die in your dream symbolizes inner changes, transformation, self-discovery and positive development that is happening within you or your life. You are undergoing a transitional phase and are becoming more enlightened or spiritual. Although such a dream may bring about feelings of fear and anxiety, it is no cause for alarm as it is often considered a positive symbol. Dreams of experiencing your own death usually means that big changes are ahead for you. You are moving on to new beginnings and leaving the past behind. These changes does not necessarily imply a negative turn of events. Metaphorically, dying can be seen as an end or a termination to your old ways and habits. So, dying does not always mean a physical death, but an ending of something.

On a negative note, to dream that you die may represent involvement in deeply painful relationships or unhealthy, destructive behaviors. You may feeling depressed or feel strangled by a situation or person in your waking life. Perhaps your mind is preoccupied with someone who is terminally ill or dying. Alternatively, you may be trying to get out of some obligation, responsibility or other situation. You are desperately trying to escape from the demands of your daily life."

I keep getting calls from my friend, but the person on the other end isn't him. (Let's say his name is Joseph, which is the name I call him by. Everyone else calls him Bj) I have his ringtone set to a different one than everyone else.

When I recieved the call... It was his ringtone, his name, & his number. I answered & it wasn't his voice. It sounded like a voice changer or something. All deep & weird.

I texted Joseph about 2 minutes after the call telling him to keep his phone to himself & quit letting his friends call me saying stupid stuff. He was absolutely clueless. He said he hasn't took his phone out of his pocket until just when he recieved my text. He isn't one to lie to me.

So can this be an app ? (Sorry that it's lengthy.) (link)
I've had this happen to me! I was so creeped out.
This guy I had barely knew, but gave my number to so we could get to know eachother, was doing this.
He told me he had hacked my phone.

He had told me about a week before this happened that he had hacked his Wii, so I believed him when he said he hacked my phone somehow.

But it seems an app could be likely, too.

EDIT: I've just found this link;

^ There is your answer.


This is for anyone who is a Pretty Little Liars fan and who has seen the season finale For Whom the Bell Tolls

first off.. what the heck?? compared to the other episodes, this one was not that great. it was very confusing.. I have a ton of questions. so if you're a pretty little liars fan- please help me out!

-is officer garrett really in a relationship with jenna??
-who was ian talking with on the phone when he was in his car?
-who was that "messenger" guy who met with the girls in the park and had all that cash?
- is ian really dead?
- who pushed ian and helped spencer?
- how did ian escape?
- who has the flashdrive with the videos?
- why did ali show the video to jenna and then say "if you come back i'll bury you"?
- who was in the other car that hit melissa and spencer?
- in summary, what was jenna explaining to the girls when they were in the band room and jenna had the flashback with her and ali. i'm confused on when she said "ali was so happy when she got back from her trip from georgia" why was ali happy??

gahh i'm in love with this tv show but sometimes its wayy too confusing!

thank you! (link)
1) That's what it appears to be.
2) I believe Jenna.
7) She was threatning Jenna. I'm assuming she told her to leave town and never come back.

As for the rest of your questions, they are impossible to answer as of right now if you only follow the TV series. You'll need to wait till the third season.

how can i make my hair look like this without using heat? (link)
You could sleep with curlers in.
If the curls afterwards are too tight for your liking brush them out a bit.


i want to get a blackberry, but i dont want the data plan. i just want to call and text. is is true that i dont have to have the data plan for it to work? (link)
You need to data plan no matter what.
Otherwise you wouldn't be able to use the phone at all.

I wanted a Blackberry just for those reasons, and I was told multiple times you NEED the data plan. Impossible to not have it.


I'm 15/f and i've been masturbating for soo long now(nothing like fingering, just rubbing). For maybe a couple months ago my vagina started itching and whenever i got my period, the itching would stop. I'm going to stop masturbating. The itching got to a point where I would itch and when I pee it would burn my vagina. Now, I get the feeling when I pee I still have to pee like a couple minutes later even when it's like not even that much pee. I just want to know if this will go away over time. I even bought the original Vagisil because I told my mom that it itched but didn't tell her why (I don't want my family to know about the masturbating)and if they bring me to a doctor i'm afraid he's going to ask me something about that so i'm trying to avoid that! Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice on what to do? (link)
It sounds like you have a UTI. (Urinary Tract Infection)
I would go to your doctor ASAP.
I had one two years ago, and they can be started multiple ways.
It sounds like you've waited awhile to ask someone about this.
If so, you should make a doctors appointment for sometime this week.
UTIs, if left alone, could because a serious problem that requires surgury.


do you have aim? i have a question to ask but its kinda long so would it be ok if i im you sometime? (link)
My SN is KlutzyKim


okay im a female 13

Well, I searched the phone on the AT&T website, and I didn't find anything.
But I googled, "LJ VU from AT&T." I got this;

We have a swimming pool (above ground) and there are always those gross little flying beatles. We went in there at 12 got out at 1ish, it was completely clean, no beatles, I went to go back in there at 3ish and there is at least 10 beatles! They like swim around in there. And they are just really annoying and when you try to take then out with the net they ing on.

So I was wondering, is there anything I can do to keep then away? Like a spray or something to put in the pool..

Thanks! (link)

Hello, I am a 20 yr old female, and I dress in a gothic style (not emo or scene which is really popular now)

I am aware that by looking weird, I will get weird looks which I'm fine with.

Lately however I have been yelled and cussed at purely for the way I am dressed which I view as immature.

I always ignore these people but I was thinking about confronting them.

Should I introduce myself to these people politely? And just try talking to them?

I would like to show someone that just because I look odd and have a different style that doesn't mean I'm a bad person. (link)
If you think it will help, go for it!
There's nothing like disprooving someone.

Good luck!
