I'm addicted to Coca-Cola! Any advice how to stop my cravings?

cut it down to like one a day for a week, then one every other day the next week, and replace it with some kind of juice that you like or something... gatorade is good and refreshing... but ween yourself off of it slowly b/c caffine is addictive and you could be tempted easily if you go cold turkeyI'm addicted to Coca-Cola! Any advice how to stop my cravings?
jeramy1952 took the words right out of my mouth! I had to quit caffeine due to a medical condition and the only way is to do it cold turkey! Be prepared for a really BIG headache though!!!!!!! It goes away,but WOW!I'm addicted to Coca-Cola! Any advice how to stop my cravings?
stop drinking it. DUH.
Will power dude. You're going to have to decide that you do not want to drink it anymore and stick to it. When I approached my 30's my waist went from a 30 to a 36. Once I stopped drinking coke I lost 15 pounds! That sold it for me. That sugar really adds calories to your diet. The diet stuff is no better - it can actually mess with your metabolism. Have you seen many thin people drinking diet drinks? I admit nothing's better with a cheeseburger, so I still have a caffeine free coke from time to time.
Think about it as the ';lesser evil'; in comparison to smoking,drugs,gambling, and e-n-j-o-y. I quit smoking one year ago but I think I'd never quit Coca-Cola.
Don't fight it. If you like it, you like it, no big deal. If you don't want to use it, just stop. If you think it's bad, then you should stop using it. An ';addiction';(whatever) is only bad when it's destroying your life totally. For instance, I like videogames, but I can manage my time well playing them. I used to play Counterstrike, but I quit when I realized it was sucking up so much of my time. If you like Coca-Cola, then what is the problem? If you're homeless because of Coca-Cola...then maybe you have a problem!
Not only is the craving for Caffeine but for sugar as well. The more sugar you eat the more you want. So maybe try to switch to diet first....then if you don't crave it as much it was the sugar....if so, then switch to decaf..take it slowly and see if it something your body needs. I used to be this way but have switched to green tea and am better for it. But it too has caffeine....so who is better off?
It's the caffeine. Cold turkey is the only thing that will really work, and expect three days of headaches and nausea. Then, be careful not to ingest any caffeine... Like any addiction a small amount will suck you right back in.





The sources of caffeine are not always obvious. Mountain Dew and chocolate are full of it.
There are some cola using natural ingredient as much as possible and avoiding chemicals but it still tastes yummy.


I recommend you cricket cola because they use natural ingredient in their cola (they also have diet cola) and tastes quite good.
Drink caffeine-free Coke. It tastes the same and is not as addictive.
Go to the Coca-Cola Anonymous 12-step meeting program. The 1st step is admiting that you are addicted (which you've already done). Good luck on kicking your habit!
Learning that Coca-Cola can kill your body, because of it chemicals.
think of the ruin it is doing in india by taking out most of the underground water from a poor region %26amp;leaving poor people to drink dirty water . just recall their helpless faces.

    I have a cold, and I can't stop salivating. I can't fall asleep. I need advice on how to make it stop?

    I started feeling sick right after work yesturday, I've been in bed, drinking water and eating soup. I laid down to go to sleep 6 hours ago and I still can't fall asleep because I just keep salivating. It's like just flowing out of my mouth and everytime I try a piece of bread it makes me feel a bit better but only for about 7 minutes and I'm almost sleep until bam, my mouth is full of saliva again. I just want to sleep... Any one know how to make it stop?I have a cold, and I can't stop salivating. I can't fall asleep. I need advice on how to make it stop?
    diphenhydramine (antihistamine). Some brand names are: Aler-Dryl; Banophen; Benadryl; Diphenhist; Hydramine. Any store-brand diphenhydramine should work.





    I use Benadryl -- dries me up whether it's watery eyes, sinus drainage (throat or nasal). Should work on salivation, too.





    NOTE: Drink plenty of fluids to replenish lost fluids. Soup is good (chicken noodle soup?).





    Hope you get to sleep.I have a cold, and I can't stop salivating. I can't fall asleep. I need advice on how to make it stop?
    you should drink some herb tea. A good one is Chickweed herbal tea, you can go to a 24hr Meijer or Walmart and they should have it, if they dont have it, go to a health herb store.


    I had a cold the other night, my nose was stopped up, and i couldnt breath through my nose. I kept coughing up plegmn. And i know medicine would not cure it. So I dranked some Chickweed herbal tea which is good for everything, especially weight loss and asthma. I dranked two cups, and next thing you know I was feeling sooo good!!! this is no lie. Just two cups, but you can drink more because its good for lots of health, it has not caffeine, and all natural. It cost like 5.00 for a box of 24.

    The driver's side lock switch on my 2005 Corolla door has sunk below the panel. Any advice on how to fix it?

    It's no doubt due to normal wear and tear. The system itself still works but I would prefer not to take it to the dealer. Any suggestions as to how I can remove the panel(s) and re-attach the switch?The driver's side lock switch on my 2005 Corolla door has sunk below the panel. Any advice on how to fix it?
    the door panel just pops on around the edge of it,and then you remove any screws that might be holding on the arm rest also,and there may be a clip on the widow crank if its manual windows,then you remove the door handle ,once you get this off you,ll be able to see what has happened to it,more than likely its come loose,it shouldn't be real hard to get back in place,good luck hope this helps.The driver's side lock switch on my 2005 Corolla door has sunk below the panel. Any advice on how to fix it?
    Take it to a mechanic.
    Pull the door panel (carefully remove the screws and pry around the edges to pop the retainers, AFTER removing the armrest. You've got either a broken switch itself, OR more likely the housing is broken. You'll want to access the back side of the assembly with the panel removed. Make sure to press the detents on the harness connectors to free the harness from the switches. If the switches all work, you may try using a catalyzed epoxy to repair and secure the assembly or if there is a problem with switch function then you'll need to replace it. good luck
    The pannels are easy to take off. Usually they have a few screws and mostly clips that snap off. If you are not mechanically inclined take the car to a car stereo shop or even a chain store like Best Buy in the radio installation area. They have manuals specific to most models that will allow them to take off the pannel without doing damage to anything. They should not charge you more than $20-30 to do this.





    It will be way cheaper than going to a dealer. Once they take it off just pay them and take your car home to repair the lock problem yourself. Reattachment of the pannel is a DIY thing for sure.





    Good luck!

    Go to the drug store and buy a tube of Mandelay..(it`s real and it is in the condom section) follow the directions...another way is to go handfire one out an hour or so before so that you aren`t so excited when you do the real thing.
    umm me and my man we do it for like 12 hours but let me explain we will do it for maybe 2 or 4 hours he will take a nap for maybe 2-3 hours while i watch tv then he will wake up and we will start again :) basically just **** your girl slower
    When you feel yourself beginning to climax, slow down.


    Speed up again afterwards.. Repeat this constantly until you're ready to go. The resulting orgasm and amount of sperm will also be amplified a lot. ;)
    yes, there may be a way, I read this e-book, and now I last longer than before, you can just have a look at here


    http://topreviewz.info/premature
    You're pretty much screwed. What I do is finish, wipe it off, keep it hard and stick it in her again.
    yea just kinda take it really slow and when u kinda feel the sperm go back down go faster again...u can see porn stars using that same tactic and they last for days straight lol
    practice by your self.

  • Need advice on how to lose weight in a months time especially around the stomach area?

    You can't spot lose, but you can spot tone.





    Exercise...try for at least an hour a day, even if you have to break it up...walk, jog, aerobics....whatever you can do (something that'll get your heart going)...remember too, when you exercise and first start building muscle, you may see a slight increase in weight...don't get discouraged!





    The cardio exercise will burn fat from all over your body...then to ab exercises (crunches for example) to tone and tighten your stomach muscles.





    Add to that, a healthy diet, watch your calories, and drink lots of water.





    Good luck!Need advice on how to lose weight in a months time especially around the stomach area?
    Try the G.I. diet.





    It is healthy and basically makes you less hungry. Its related to your insulin level. You eat a balanced diet, but take care not to eat too many foods to raise your level too much. It was designed by former member of one of the canadian heart associations and endorsed by world class cardiac surgians in New York and in Toronto.





    It is also pretty simple using an easy to follow traffic light system








    Wont garantee loss in a month but your loss with be permanent and healthy.





    Most fast diets are really bad for you and cause you to loseNeed advice on how to lose weight in a months time especially around the stomach area?
    green leafy(yuck)veggies! i'm serious! i did this, still doing it.it's fast,and you will get used to the taste( i still hate the texture) use garlic,cayenne pepper,a little kosher salt and a little spicy brown mustard or light balsamic vinegar dressing on it eat it in a small bowl.drink water,diet coke.if you get hungry,eat a banana or an apple that's all! and do your crunches! everyday! and sidebends!


    get a cardio machine
    run with jacket and watch calories.
    Eat right and exercise daily.
    sit- ups, planks, cardio (running, or whatever suits you)
    Eat well and exercise. Eat throughout the day instead of 3 square meals a day. Reframe from sweets. Try to incorporate dairy into your diet.
    Most people wish to lose weight from the stomach and waist. Fat stored around the stomach results in a greater health risk than fat stored in other parts of the body like the thighs. Abdominal fat could cause high blood pressure, high blood sugar and heart disease. Information to lose stomach and waist fat available at http://www.toloseweight.org/losestomachf鈥?/a>
    try abs and crunches
    Good carbs like celery and carrots will never make you fat. Bad carbs like cake will, but you don't need to know the whole science of glycemic index and load. It is mostly NOT your fault, if you need to lose weight. The way we have been taught to eat is responsible for making obesity the number one health problem in the world (according to Atlantic Monthly magazine) replacing hunger and infectious disease. You need to re-learn how to eat so you can become thin and healthy. Not a diet, but diet lifestyle.

    i definitly believe lots of healthy foods, and excercise, i know you will be told to death about it but its true! if you cant bring yourself to work out everyday at a gym, join a community centre and take a class or two...at least those tend to be fun and you feel the result right away because cant slack off like on your own, i find working out in a class pushes me further and you make tons of friends willing to help keep you motivated....but dont push your self too hard it will only backfire. dont do these diet scams they never work for long and end up doing more damage then good!
    do alot of crunches ,exercise. and dont dring sodas ........drink alot of water


    eat healthy.DONT STARVE YOURSELF TRUST ME YOU WILL GAIN IT AND MORE BACK!
    Well you could jog a bit and do a lot of sitt ups(it works) and try to eat salads

    start brushing it out at the bottom and then move your way up. Starting from the scalp is going to knot it up even more. Just brush out the ends first, then move up a little more, then a little more....................Any advice on how to get a ';rat's nest'; out of long hair after riding a motorcycle?
    use a deep conditioner and comb it out with the conditioner in your hair....after use a leave in.
    panteen pro v- detangler conditioner... it works wonders because I've had the same problems riding in a convertible.
    LMFAO that was great, i call my head a rats nest all the time. definitely de-tangler or leave in conditioner, maybe use it before and/or after riding.
    Jump in the shower, wet your hair and apply conditioner onto your hair, leave it in for a while (30mins) or so.


    Attempt to remove tangles while conditoner is in the hair. Start at the end of hair with a wide tooth comb and work your way up to the scalp, gently removing tangles as your working your way up. When all is done, rinse conditioner from hair in a straight motion.

    It is not acceptable for them to be grabbing your butt and most gay guys would know better to do that.


    Just tell them that it makes you uncomfortable. Reasonable people will get the idea.
    Simply tell them, ';Look, I'm not gay, and I don't like anybody grabbing my a$$ without my prior permission.'; Then let him absorb the information.

    Why is Obama seeking advice on how to fix the economy?

    http://news.aol.com/elections/article/obama-seeks-advice-on-ailing-economy/234237Why is Obama seeking advice on how to fix the economy?
    Too avoid the massive failures of ';going it alone'; that the current moron in office made.Why is Obama seeking advice on how to fix the economy?
    One of the hallmarks of a good president is to get the best advice and adapt it. Clinton had some of the best brains in the world. Obama shows that hes leaning that way too. Competency is a wonderful thing.


    Its nice to see it coming back into style.


    The Presidency of the US is a very multifaceted position, Obama never claimed to have all the answers, that was McCain during the second debate, when he was wandering around the stage. I know how to end the war, I know how to get Osama, I know how to fix the economy.


    I hope he left plans to go with those words.
    Common sense would dictate that he call upon specialists to advise him.





    He studied Law and International Politics not Economics.





    If your bathroom has a leak, call Joe the Plumber, if your economy is in collapse call an Economist.





    Clearly he understands the political implications of the economy and understands that it is a global problem. An Economist would not have a broader view of the political implications, or the influence to do anything about it.
    Because all he can do between now and Jan 20th after the speeches and before the balls as far as governance goes is sit in a lame duck congress if any one calls one.





    He not only has policies to consider but positions down the deputy directorate level to fill. He wants to make certain he has the right policies to state in his inaugural speech, but also the right people to carry them out.
    isn't it amazing , we have been on this forum for months asking questions and Obama supporters had them all because Obama was the man and knew everything , now you get answers like , ';he is a lawyer not an economist'; What next well he was only an unaccomplished Jr senator not a seasons political head? . Was it not his ';economic knowledge'; that got him elected?
    It's a good thing to get many opinions, I just hope he listens more to Nobel prize winning economist Joseph Stiglitz rather than the Neoliberal Citigroup Robert Rubin.





    Robert Rubin is in part responsible for supporting the policies that pushed us to the brink of a great recession. When the subprime mortgage crisis hit, instability and collapse spread across numerous industries. Rubin also pushed for more deregulatory policies that ended up shifting jobs, and entire industries, overseas.





    Rubin even pushed for Clinton’s dismantling of Glass-Steagall, testifying that deregulating the banking industry would be good for capital gains, as well as Main Street. “The banking industry is fundamentally different from what it was two decades ago, let alone in 1933,'; Rubin testified before the House Committee on Banking and Financial Services in May of 1995.


    “Glass-Steagall could conceivably impede safety and soundness by limiting revenue diversification,” Rubin argued.





    While the industry saw much deregulation over the years preceding these events, the Gramm-Leach-Biley Act of 1999, which eliminated Glass-Steagall, extended and ratified changes that had been enacted with previous legislation. Ultimately, the repeal of the New Deal era protection allowed commercial lenders like Rubin’s Citigroup to underwrite and trade instruments like mortgage backed securities along with collateralized debt and established structured investment vehicles (SIVs), which purchased these securities. In short, as the lines were blurred among investment banks, commercial banks and insurance companies, when one industry fell, others could too.





    ********





    Joseph Stiglitz:


    ';Houses of cards, chickens coming home to roost - pick your cliche. The new low in the financial crisis, which has prompted comparisons with the 1929 Wall Street crash, is the fruit of a pattern of dishonesty on the part of financial institutions, and incompetence on the part of policymakers.





    We had become accustomed to the hypocrisy. The banks reject any suggestion they should face regulation, rebuff any move towards anti-trust measures - yet when trouble strikes, all of a sudden they demand state intervention: they must be bailed out; they are too big, too important to be allowed to fail.';





    AMY GOODMAN: What is your response to the passage of the bailout by the Senate?





    JOSEPH STIGLITZ: Well, I think it remains a very bad bill. It is a disappointment, but not a surprise, that the administration came up with a bill that is again based on trickle-down economics. You throw enough money at Wall Street, and some of it will trickle down to the rest of the economy. It’s like a patient suffering from giving a massive blood transfusion while there’s internal bleeding; it doesn’t do anything about the basic source of the hemorrhaging, the foreclosure problem.
    He knows that fixing the economy will be a huge problem, and that it may very well fail. That's why he's bringing in Governess Granholm from Michigan ( my home state ). She has flubbed up Michigan so bad that it may never heal, thus using her advice will give him a great scapegoat.


    He's not stupid, he's covering his butt, way before it needs covering.
    he never once claimed to know all the answers and anyone that thought he knew all of them is ignorant and dangerous.





    but not as ignorant and dangerous as some wingnut that puts words in peoples mouths and characterizes 53% of americans as retards.
    Because he knows that the proposals he made during the campaign would harm the economy and is looking for actual solutions now that he has been elected..
    he is not a ecomonist he is a politician he would more than likely need advice from bankers and the like so his plans will work remember the numbers need to fit
    Presidents have advisers.
    Because he is a lawyer and not an economist
    The problem is so immense that you need a meeting of the greatest minds to try to find an answer.
    So that other people can get blamed when it doesn't work.
    Because he is smarter then Bush.
    b/c even jesus had 12 apostles
    'The man with a plan' didn't have a plan, thats why.
    I wish Gordo had done the same over here!
    sensible if you ask me ,see what others think and then make his own mind up

    Does Anyone Have Any Advice on how to do well on the SAT?

    This test is terrifying me..i hate long tests.Does Anyone Have Any Advice on how to do well on the SAT?
    I got 2 perfect scores in math and reading, but my writing score was only 720, for a total of 2320. I only read this SAT guide, and that is how I got such high scores:


    http://www.guideparadise.com/index.php?o鈥?/a>


    I recommend this guide to anyone seeking to get a higher score to get into a first choice college.Does Anyone Have Any Advice on how to do well on the SAT?
    buy some SAT review books(like barron's, princeton review, etc.) for the english section-just learn the vocab, and be able to use it in your essay(which has a time limit, 25 minutes). Read books, know what's going on (like in the news), and know your history so that you will be able to have examples to use in the essay without having to waste your time thinking about it. For the math section, I would say just review over many things you've learned before. And, don't guess on the test, unless you have a 50-50 chance or if you invested a lot of time on it. Good luck, im only a sophomore and I will have to take it soon too (:
    I'm a 10 grader, and i am not thinking about taking the SAT. I am thinking about taking the ACT, from what I heard, it is simpler, and collages look at either one (ACT competing against SAT).


    As for how to do well on the SAT.....


    I think that some schools offer courses during the summer to help.
    start taking SAT prep courses as soon as you can. Then be sure and study as many practice exams as you can find. Finally, take the test as many times as you have to. I also suggest getting ifo on the ACT from your councilor. I took both!
    The good thing about the SATs is that you really don't have to think much while taking them.


    Writing section: I would advise you to pick 5 examples that are versatile and can be used in any context. A good combo is 2 books and one historical event. For example, in all the SAT's I took, I used the books To Kill a Mockingbird and Siddhartha and the historical event, the Rwandan Holocaust. This way, you'll never have to think about it on the test.


    Reading Section: There's really not much you can do for this section. If you are good at skimming thru passages and understanding them, then do that. If you are like me, then I would suggest you read the whole passage before answering the questions. Despite what people say, it doesn't hurt you or take away a lot of time. Also, on the test, don't hesitate to skip around and answer the easy questions first so that you'll be able to focus on the harder ones later (remember they are all worth the same number of points).


    Math Section: Get one thing straight: the math section is not there to test you mathematic abilities; it is there to see how many shortcuts you know. Know basic methods like ballparking and plugging in. This is the one section where practice will really help because they usually ask the same types of questions all the time. Practice well, and definitely practice shortcuts. The princeton review book really tells you the various methods you can use.





    And relax. If you relax you will definitely do much better on your test and save time. If you are nervous, then you wont be able to focus.





    Good luck!

    Do you have any advice or tips on how to make a really cute necklace?

    and what do i have to buy?Do you have any advice or tips on how to make a really cute necklace?
    Sure. You need to buy what you'll need to make one cute necklace -- or maybe several. First, of course, you need to decide what a cute necklace looks like!





    Do you like hemp (or other cord knotted like it) with beads in it? Do you like dainty little chains with delicate pendants? Do you like chunky bold jewelry that makes a statement before you say anything? Do you like intricate designs or something simple?





    Once you've decided on that, you'll need some sort of stringing material and some beads and some end clasps and possibly other hardware. A couple of tools would be good, too-- try starting with a good wire cutter (about 6'; or 8'; long) from the hardware store or automotive shop, a pair of 5'; round-nose pliers, and a pair of 5'; chain-nose pliers. Those are your basics. Get your wire cutter from the hardware store or automotive shop because the ones sold for jewelry making in crafts shops are basically useless and cost more, to boot.





    If you like hemp or other knotted cord, your best bet is to buy a kit. That'll even teach you the knots you'll need. If your skin is sensitive or you have allergies like hay fever, don't get real hemp. Get another cord that isn't rough. You can usually find waxed cotton. That would work.





    If you like a pendant on a chain, you can purchase said chain and said pendant and put them together. Some of those necklaces are gorgeous.





    If you want some good ideas, go to www.firemountain gems.com and look at their pattern pages or design ideas. They have lots of designs available for anyone to use free. Much of their stuff is just stringing things creatively, so you can look at their site and get some good ideas. They also give supplies lists, so you'll know what to buy. Once you've decided what you want to do, go to a local crafts or beads shop and ask for help getting the right materials.





    For my idea of a cute necklace, get a few coils of Memory wire, necklace-sized, a couple of assorted bags of beads, and one tube (or small bag) of e beads or seed beads in a neutral color to use as spacers. With a heavy-duty wire cutter, cut off enough wire to go around your neck with a couple of inches' overlap. Take a round-nose pliers and make a tiny loop at one end of the wire. Put beads on the wire to make a pretty pattern or a random design. Use a spacer (the tiny little seed beads or e beads) between the regular beads. This makes your necklace set better and look nicer. When you get to the other end, make your loop just like the first one. This make the cutest choker. It looks like it might be uncomfortable, but it really isn't. The Memory wire holds its shape, so you don't need to worry about clasps and stuff like that.Do you have any advice or tips on how to make a really cute necklace?
    now this can get you into real trouble, you will become a bead addict and no one will ever be able to cure you, at joanns in the bead department, you can find some free instructions, mostly you need tigertail wire, beads to make the neck chain part, they can be any shape as long as they arent too big or overly expensive , unless you are loaded with cash. then you want a fancier central bead, or three of them or a pendant, you might start with the fancy one, then find beads to go with it, figure out how long you want it to be, usually 18 inches is minumum. you will need a crimp bead for each end, and a set of closures for the ends, and a pair of needle nosed pliars to pinch the crimp beads shut, start with the tigertail, at one end, thread on the crimp bead, then thread on one end of the closure, then run the tigertail back through the crimp bead, crimp it. now you want to lay out the necklace, its easiest with a necklace board, which is a oblong with a groove in it and usually measurements so you know how long its going to be, decide on length and cut the other end of the tigertail with a couple of extra inches to work with, then in the grove of the necklace board lay your pendant at the center bottom, then arrange your other beads in any pleasing arrangement. if you are going for 3 large beads as the focal center, lay the center one then figure how far away you want them from the center, i suggest about 2 inches away one on each side. then you fill in the space with your smaller beads which make the neck chain, it can be all one type bead, or you can put medium sized beads on the sides of your three central beads or you can use metal spacer beads which create an interesting design element. say the large central beads are pink with blue and white figures on them, you could make your neck chain all pink, or pink blue and white, alternating or pink and white, or pink and blue, you can use tiny seed beads or you can use e beads which are larger but look like seed beads and come in lots of the same colors, you really can do sooooooooooooo many combinations i couldnt ever stop typing, you can also use a metal charm for the central object. you might go to about.com where they have tons of bead patterns free and you can get some ideas of what you might like doing. but as i said, beware, its addictive, im a 35 yr addict and there is no cure what so ever. good luck! now if you want something that teens might really think is cool you could get a ball of hemp twine and two or three large hole beads and try your hand at macrame, i use a cardboard box bottom to pin my work to with a big t pin and knot away, you will find the basic instructions at elainecrafts.com, there are also instructions for the traditional friendhip bracelets made from embroidery floss, to make a necklace you just make it three times as long. i dont remember the sites but you can do a web search easily on that one.

    Chamomile tea works well, as does *don't laugh* Catnip tea.





    Both are relaxants... but they're not a cure. You need to look into what situations make you the most nervous, find a common thread and try and work on relaxing during those times.
    See a doctor, don't ask the advice of Yahoo members. Dont take risks with your health.
    grilled cheese helps i think...also if u can drink it, baking soda and water helps settles the belly, but yea who ever said its ur nerves is right, samethng happens to me, its not ur stomach thats the problem...
    tums tum tum tum tums
    I drink a glass of cold water.
    just let it go....... you know what i mean
    The anxiety is not in your stomach. The anxiety is in your head; throwing up is a symptom. You have to address the anxious THOUGHTS, not the puke.
    keep saltine crakers handy adn when yo ustart feeling sick start nibling away
    As the billmex guy said, there is a wonderful invention called tums. just take two. (they even come in different flavours:-D)

    The driver's side lock switch on my 2005 Corolla door has sunk below the panel. Any advice on how to fix it?

    It's no doubt due to normal wear and tear. The system itself still works but I would prefer not to take it to the dealer. Any suggestions as to how I can remove the panel(s) and re-attach the switch?The driver's side lock switch on my 2005 Corolla door has sunk below the panel. Any advice on how to fix it?
    the door panel just pops on around the edge of it,and then you remove any screws that might be holding on the arm rest also,and there may be a clip on the widow crank if its manual windows,then you remove the door handle ,once you get this off you,ll be able to see what has happened to it,more than likely its come loose,it shouldn't be real hard to get back in place,good luck hope this helps.The driver's side lock switch on my 2005 Corolla door has sunk below the panel. Any advice on how to fix it?
    Take it to a mechanic.
    Pull the door panel (carefully remove the screws and pry around the edges to pop the retainers, AFTER removing the armrest. You've got either a broken switch itself, OR more likely the housing is broken. You'll want to access the back side of the assembly with the panel removed. Make sure to press the detents on the harness connectors to free the harness from the switches. If the switches all work, you may try using a catalyzed epoxy to repair and secure the assembly or if there is a problem with switch function then you'll need to replace it. good luck
    The pannels are easy to take off. Usually they have a few screws and mostly clips that snap off. If you are not mechanically inclined take the car to a car stereo shop or even a chain store like Best Buy in the radio installation area. They have manuals specific to most models that will allow them to take off the pannel without doing damage to anything. They should not charge you more than $20-30 to do this.





    It will be way cheaper than going to a dealer. Once they take it off just pay them and take your car home to repair the lock problem yourself. Reattachment of the pannel is a DIY thing for sure.





    Good luck!

    Go to the drug store and buy a tube of Mandelay..(it`s real and it is in the condom section) follow the directions...another way is to go handfire one out an hour or so before so that you aren`t so excited when you do the real thing.
    umm me and my man we do it for like 12 hours but let me explain we will do it for maybe 2 or 4 hours he will take a nap for maybe 2-3 hours while i watch tv then he will wake up and we will start again :) basically just **** your girl slower
    When you feel yourself beginning to climax, slow down.


    Speed up again afterwards.. Repeat this constantly until you're ready to go. The resulting orgasm and amount of sperm will also be amplified a lot. ;)
    yes, there may be a way, I read this e-book, and now I last longer than before, you can just have a look at here

    You're pretty much screwed. What I do is finish, wipe it off, keep it hard and stick it in her again.

    Need advice on how to lose weight in a months time especially around the stomach area?

    You can't spot lose, but you can spot tone.





    Exercise...try for at least an hour a day, even if you have to break it up...walk, jog, aerobics....whatever you can do (something that'll get your heart going)...remember too, when you exercise and first start building muscle, you may see a slight increase in weight...don't get discouraged!





    The cardio exercise will burn fat from all over your body...then to ab exercises (crunches for example) to tone and tighten your stomach muscles.





    Add to that, a healthy diet, watch your calories, and drink lots of water.

    Most people wish to lose weight from the stomach and waist. Fat stored around the stomach results in a greater health risk than fat stored in other parts of the body like the thighs.

    Good carbs like celery and carrots will never make you fat. Bad carbs like cake will, but you don't need to know the whole science of glycemic index and load. It is mostly NOT your fault, if you need to lose weight. The way we have been taught to eat is responsible for making obesity the number one health problem in the world (according to Atlantic Monthly magazine) replacing hunger and infectious disease.

    Jump in the shower, wet your hair and apply conditioner onto your hair, leave it in for a while (30mins) or so.


    Attempt to remove tangles while conditoner is in the hair. Start at the end of hair with a wide tooth comb and work your way up to the scalp, gently removing tangles as your working your way up. When all is done, rinse conditioner from hair in a straight motion.

    Any advice on how to cope with a husband who is dealing with depression?

    My husband has been dealing with depression off and on for years. I feel this has taken a toll on our marriage. Things have been strained between us for quite some time, so he recently went to the dr's and they put him on medication to help him deal with his depression. This is quite the emotional rollercoaster for the both of us...one I'm not sure I have the energy for. There are times where I think the medication is helping and things seems to be getting better, but then something will happen and we'll get in an arguement and it's like nothing is ever going to change. It's like two steps forward, three steps back. How do I deal with this?Any advice on how to cope with a husband who is dealing with depression?
    He should make follow up visits to his doctor every few weeks until he gets to a dosage that is actually helping. Sounds to me like it might still be too low. The other thing I recommend is counseling. Last I heard, the majority of studies concluded that the best treatment for depression is a combination of medication and therapy.Any advice on how to cope with a husband who is dealing with depression?
    This is going to be hard. My husband and I met during training to go on tour over in Iraq. He was my best friend over there, the only one I could completely tell anything to, even my friends back home couldn't understand. Well he stayed on the base, and I was convoy security, and I think that's what messed him up the most was the constant worry about me. I came back fine, a couple bumps and scars from mishaps on the road, but he was a nervous wreck, and still is. He is always grumpy and depressed, never touches me intimately, blah blah blah. It sucks, I know, but you have to wait thru the digestion period of the meds. There will come a time when he will be back on that even keel, when he will once again become the man that you fell so madly in love with. The roller coaster is long and strenuous, but you know who he was before, and that's who he will be again, maybe even a new improved version. Just think, after a tour in Iraq, that's bad news, I truly feel for you in your situation, but, be there for him, you married him for all the good reasons, stand by his side, and don't be afraid to yell back once in a while. :)
    The way that I deal with my husband's depression is to accept that this is the way he is, and I am going to show him love, patience, gentleness, humor, and respect .. . . no matter what.





    We made a commitment: ';through sickness %26amp; health, til death do us part.'; That pretty much sums it up. We aren't going anywhere. Just imagine how your frustration with your husband worsens his depression. Be his best friend. . .. . there for him, sticking by his side, holding his hand NO MATTER WHAT. How's that sound for a start?





    It wouldn't hurt for you to get counseling to help you to learn how to deal with an imperfect life.
    I usually don't recommend books because I hate it when people recommend them to me, but I honestly wish I could buy ';Love %26amp; Respect'; for every married (and engaged) person I know. So try and hear me out...





    It states that a woman's driving need is to feel loved and when she feels loved she feels happy. A man's driving need is to feel respect and when he feels respected he is happy. When a woman feels unloved she acts out disrespectfully to her husband, and when a man feels disrespected he acts out unloving towards his wife and the crazy cycle begins.





    If this is setting off any light bulbs for you read on...





    ';I wrote this book out of desperation that was turned into inspiration. As a pastor, I counseled married couples and could not solve their problems. The major problem I heard from wives was, ';He doesn't love me.'; Wives are made to love, want to love, and expect love. Many husbands fail to deliver. But as I kept studying Scripture and counseling couples, I finally saw the other half of the equation. Husbands weren't saying it much, but they were thinking, ';She doesn't respect me.'; Husbands are made to be respected, want respect, and expect respect. Many wives fail to deliver. The result is that five out of ten marriages land in divorce court (and that includes evangelical Christians).





    As I wrestled with the problem, I finally saw a connection: without love from him, she reacts without respect; without respect from her, he reacts without love. Around and around it goes. I call it the Crazy Cycle - marital craziness that has thousands of couples in its grip.';





    I am not even half-ways through the book and workbook, and while my husband is not studying the material with me it has already worked miracles in my no-longer-failing marriage.





    If you do believe in God I highly recommend this biblically based book. It's not a ';religious freak'; book or anything but it's nice to know that it is based on things in the bible and not just some theory or pop psychology book, and it's been a #1 seller for over 2 years now... it's working for thousands of couples!
    Medication can be a major help, and it's wonderful that your husband took the step to try it, but don't expect it to work miracles overnight. It takes several weeks for the prescriptions to fully kick in, and even after that, he's going to have to do a lot of self-monitoring to determine whether the dosage is still effective, or he needs to try something else entirely. Also, if he's not doing talk therapy in combination with the prescription, he might want to go back to his doctor and get a referral: it'll probably help with conflict resolution.





    I know it's very hard on you, but remember that it's not fun for him, either, especially knowing that it's causing you pain. Stay strong and give him support, but don't let him use the depression as an excuse for outrageous behavior or taking you for granted, either. Hopefully, the rollercoaster will eventually level out. Good luck.
    You just breath. Relax, and when he starts his crap....walk away. When he yells at you....smile. When nothing you do is right, sit down and pretend to read a book. Block him out. You must understand that there are days (in his mind) that you ARE the best thing in this world. The other days he would push off a cliff if he could. This is not your fault. Once the meds get in his system good it should help alot.

    Any advice on how to discipline a 2 yr old-going through terrible 2's?

    My daughter is 21 months old and I have found the best way to get her to listen is:





    #1 save the ';no'; for when it is REALLY needed. Whenever possible I do not say no. For example, if she is reaching for a nightlight, I will say ';leave the night light alone'; or if she is coloring on her hands, clothes, etc I will say ';Hey, color your paper, not your hands';.........by telling her what she SHOULD do, she is way more apt to listen. Also, pick your battles. Yes, I HATE it when she pulls out ALL the tupperware.....but it keeps her busy while I make dinner.





    #2 when I do have to tell her ';no'; I always tell her WHY.....I do not believe in the ';because I said so'; discipline. I always give a reason for the no. LIke ';no, that is hot'; or ';no, you will fall';......by telling her why she is being told ';no'; she is more likely to listen to what I say.





    #3 Make a big deal when she does listen. Like when I say ';come here'; and she actually comes over the first time, I make a big deal of it. I thank her for all the good things she does. and I limit the oppurtunites to not listen. Like when I need her to go somewhere she does not particularly want to (like to get a diaper change) I just piggyback her instead of giving her the chance to fight me on going.





    #4 make the rules VERY clear. My daughter rules are:


    -no hitting


    -no kicking


    -no throwing food


    -no pulling hair


    -no drinking bathwater


    She know what her rules are. so when she kicks during a diaper change, I say ';hey! What is the rule?'; and she replies ';no kicking'; and promplty stops........we go over the rules when she is being good too. I don't just save them for naughty times. One night she was throwing greenbeans from her highchair tray and I said ';hey! What is the rule?'; and she looked right at me and said ';no dinking baff-ater!'; I cracked up.....but I did pick up the greenbeans and remind her ';no throwing.....'; and she added ';food!'; it takes time, patience, and practice. But when they know what the rules are, they are more likely to follow them.





    #5 The naughty corner (we don't have steps). If she does not follow the rules the 2nd time she is told, she goes into the naughy corner. Like if she hits me and I grab her hand and say ';no hitting';....if she tries again, to the corner she goes. She hates it. thankfully she listens on the first time, usually. But, DON'T hit your child! Hard though that is, they are too little to reason.....so if you hit the child when you are mad, he/she thinks that he should hit when he is mad. It sucks, but it is the only way at this age. I never hit my daughter. Beucase then how does she know hitting is wrong?





    Being that I am the single mom of an almost 2 year old. I work full time, so I really cherish the time I spend with her. I try to make her feel as important in our home as I can. She has tons of ';jobs'; she LOVES to do.......she puts all the recylables in the bin, she puts her clothes in the hamper, she throws away lots of things that I give her to throw away. She helps sort laundery, put cans of pop in the fridge. I also give her choices all the time........her clothes, something we have for dinner, any time she can make a choice, she does. I play with her as much as I can. I still cuddle up with her and hold her while she has her snack before bed. She is such a mommy's girl.....she listens really well. Not sure if it is because I treat her like a part of our (albeit small) family or if she is just a mellow kid. But she is really good and listens to everything I tell her.Any advice on how to discipline a 2 yr old-going through terrible 2's?
    I think that the form of discipline is different for every child. I don't spank my daughter, I just don't think it's a good idea for a two year old. I know what my daughter likes and dislikes, so I use time outs or take privileges. For example, my daughter likes to go out a ride her power wheels or her bike, if she's not behaving, she can't do it. If she throwing tantrums, I send her to time out or to her room. My daughter loves to have my full attention, so going to her room hurts her feelings. After she's calm I get down to her level and explain to her why she was being punished and what she should do the next time. She has caught on, so now all I have to do is ask if she wants time out and she will get it together. Good luck!Any advice on how to discipline a 2 yr old-going through terrible 2's?
    Time out is working better than anything else for my daughter. I don't just make her sit down though. I make her stand in the corner and she has to face the corner for about five minutes at a time. It didn't take long at all for her to know what the corner was and start listening a little better.





    What kind of issues are you dealing with? If it is tantrums I pick her up and put her in her crib until she calms down completely. She doesn't throw fits very much either so I am assuming that is working also. I hope this helps!
    Time-outs! I taught my son really early that when he misbehaves (hits or whatever) he is in timeout on the stair (1-minute for each year your child is). Now, remember, a 2-year old still doesn't know right from wrong. But hitting, for example, is unacceptable, etc. You have to be consistent with the time-outs. It gets very frustrating at first when they don't sit in time out, but keep putting him back on the step and eventually he'll learn. He'll probably scream his head off on the stair but he'll get the picture. Also, don't put him in time-out in his room (they'll associate ';being bad'; with his room and you don't want that). Good luck!
    what we do with our 2 year old is we put her in the naughty corner for 2 minutes each time she does something naughty and she understands that she shouldn't do it. when we let her out of the corner we tell her what she has done wrong ad she says sorry and gives us a hug and goes about her business. the next time she is naughty she goes right back there. It worked for my 4 year old when she was younger but the main word is consistancy
    Time outs. Acknowledge and praise her good behavior. Ignore tantrums and whining.
    Hug them, talk to them, hug them some more, growl at them when needed with a simple explanation, hug them, talk to them, growl.....you get the idea. Don't those little stinkers have you on an emotional rollar coaster??

    Names & Advice On How To Be A Good Guild Leader On WoW?

    Hey Guys,


    i would like to make a guild but i really cant think of a name for it...


    i like serious names such as Azeroth Allegency but it has baready been taken,


    also this would be my first Guild i have made therefor i dont really know how to be a good guild master please could you give me some tips on.. ranks, how to be a good leader, Messages of the day, things like that thanks :DNames %26amp; Advice On How To Be A Good Guild Leader On WoW?
    Ok firstly about names - Try to make it things that you will do, nobody can really give you a name, fi you are going to take the guild far, it has to come from the heart. Make it short and easy to remember.





    For advice, the best thing you can do is be nice, get some rules set down and be sure to make sure everyone new knows these rules. Send them a copy of the rules via. mail and make sure that they fully understand what these rules mean. Tell all members that they are welcome to come to you for assistance (if you are not willing to do this then you are not ready to make a guild), you need to be relitavely good to help people out alot.





    Make sure people know their role in the guild. And they will always be loyal, reward good behaviour and punish bullying within your guild. kick people who are making it had to work with and progress through the ranks.





    Good luck.

    How do I make my fan to stop making noise? 10 points for the best advice. Thank you?

    That depends on the noise. If its a squeak spray WD-40 directly into the motor while running (this will not hurt it)


    If its more of a rattling or rocking like your fan blades are wobbling back and fourth you need to install a dynamic balance. The kit probably came with your fan, it looks like small square pieces of metal with an adhesive pad on one side and a plastic clip. hope this helps.How do I make my fan to stop making noise? 10 points for the best advice. Thank you?
    You wont be able to do anything to the fan if they are new. The noise you are hearing are from the pitch of the blades. Just like an propeller it makes a certain amount of noise, About the only thing you can do is to slow it down and that would defeat the purpose. If was an old fan you could probably change out the bearings.How do I make my fan to stop making noise? 10 points for the best advice. Thank you?
    If New, Return it. If not then have someone tighten it up. I'm guessing its a box fan. Set a few heavy books on top of it.
    Hi Hope. That type of fan should be put in the window. It should run quiet. Check to see if they are vibrating against something.
    You can make it quieter by opening it up


    and oiling the motor and other moving parts.
    What do fans do? They move air.





    What is the definition of sound? Moving air.
    turn them off and then you wont hear them. lol
    u cant make the noise stop that how it is

  • I am trying to pierce 1 of my fingernails. Does anyone have advice about how I can do that w/out an earpiercer?

    You should probably use a hollow needle, not a safety pin. Safety pins arent the right size to be piercing with, take this from an experienced self piercer. Everytime I piercedmy lip or anything like that and I used a safetypin, it also got infected. So make sure you get a brand new hollow needle and that should work for you!I am trying to pierce 1 of my fingernails. Does anyone have advice about how I can do that w/out an earpiercer?
    I just shove an earring though fake nails, and then glue the nails on with the earring already in. Just make sure your nail is long enough %26amp; your palm is up when you pierce it. I think it's easier that way.I am trying to pierce 1 of my fingernails. Does anyone have advice about how I can do that w/out an earpiercer?
    Safety pin... Fingernail piercings are bloody annoying though.
    I did it once, I used a pin as well. But they really are very annoying. I wouldn't recommend it.
    Just take a needle or pin and stick it through.


    Not much to it.


    Easy peasy lol.

    I got the worst haircut in the entire world and need some advice on how to deal with it.?

    I first went in October to get my hair cut instead of listening to me the hairdresser cut off almost 10 inches and made my hair look like a boy haircut right at my chin. Then I thought it looked so bad I went back to have a few layers put in and she put layers in the right side of my hair and not the left and then she cut more off the right side of my head than she did with my left side. To make matters worse I have extremely thin hair only on the right side so this is affecting my entire life. I feel like I don't want to live or do anything fun anymore. I have a beautiful family and don't like feeling this way. Any advice would be helpful. My husband and kids are the best and I want to do the best for them. I just don't know how to deal with this horrilbe haircut. I cry everyday and think about leaving my family all because of this. I have always been a very optomistic person. I do not want to go get it fixed I because I am scared of anyone with scissors.I got the worst haircut in the entire world and need some advice on how to deal with it.?
    First take a deep breath, hold it for a few seconds and slowly release. Think in the grand scheme of things. It is only a bad haircut. I know, they suck, completely and totally, but it will go back to normal eventually. Talk to your husband, family, and friends, i'm bet its not as bad as you think it is.





    Although you said that you didnt want another person with scissors to get near your hair, you could ask someone with a REALLY great haircut where they got it done, and with who. Then you can go to that hairdresser, knowing that they produce good work. When there, talk to the person, tell them what happened, and what (with specific details) you want them to do. (This is what I did when I was in a similar situation)





    If you absolutely do not want to wait for it to grow out, and you dont want any hairdressers with scissors to get ahold of your hair again, a wig could be a great solution. (a plus side of getting a wig is that you can try multiple haircuts on and choose the best without even cutting your real hair) Hair extensions are also a similar option.





    If a wig is out of the question, you could go on a shopping spree for hats. Hats are a great fashion accesory and they hide perfectly bad hair days. Colorful funky bandanas are super fun to wear too!





    If you arent to big on the hat idea, get creative with barettes, clips, and hairspray. Maybe you should just go for a crazy hair look. i also think that short ringlets might look super cute! Maybe you could put your hair in curlers... maybe you could try a perm... just have fun experimenting! you're safe in the knowledge that it cant get worse!





    I would also see if i could get my money back from those two haircuts. You definitely deserve a refund!





    Just always remember you're still you, and that personality is really the only thing that matters. People will love you hair or no hair.I got the worst haircut in the entire world and need some advice on how to deal with it.?
    Hello Don't feel this way this happend to me a feww years ago but all I did was try to find ways to do my hair and them I got acostume to it. Plus just get the positive side could been worst.

    you have to let it grow but dont be afraid to go and have it straightened up. go to a different salon and explain to a stylist in great detail about whats happened and how you feel emotionally, i'm sure they will be very professional and make you feel at ease, i've had people come to me crying about their hair and it really satisfies me to help them, i really feel sorry for you. i promise you it wont look as bad as you think you know, i'd put my life on it!


    also, try some velcro rollers in it to give it some lift and make it look thicker, good luck mommy, dont worry xxxxxx
    Go back and demand your money back,sounds as though they are not fit to be hairdressers.Go somewhere else to get it sorted.
    Do you know anyone that can recommend a mobile hairdresser, I have been using one for years as I absolutely hate going to the hairdresser. Make sure she or he comes recommended though. Good luck.
    were a hat all the time untill it grows back
    Hire a sailing boat and sail across the Atlantic and back. By the time you are home it will have grown out. But remember your Mobile phone will stop working about 350 miles out.
    soon grow back ....meantime get a wig
    extensions
    go for nice headshave


    after that plz dont cut upto 3 years do this ur hair wll be good
    A) wear a hat


    B) get a better hairdresser!


    C)get something else drastic done, so people dont notice your hair so much! :P
    Shave it all off and start again. You can wear a wig while yoiu wait, but you might actually enjoy being bald. It's the best cure for a bad haircut.
    ok, first its just hair. it WILL grow back. there are a million other things worse in the world. But to help solve your problem. Wait it out- wear a hat, wear it up, get a wig...anything just for a month or two...then go to a NICE salon. When it comes to hair, you really get what you pay for (not saying you were cheap or anything). Hairdressers at upscale salons really know what they are doing-you can trust them with scissors. You shouldnt worry about hair though, its really silly, we have all had terrible haircuts before but in a few weeks it grows enough where you can change it. Good luck
    Are you kidding me? You're life is over? It is frigging hair! It grows back. Get a life.
    Talk about it with your husband. I'm sure it's not as bad as what you think.





    I remember when I got my hair cut and the hairdresser cut so much off and made me look awful, I cried n tugged on my hair so badly trying to make it grow... I won't last long, don't worry. In the meantime, just wear a hat. Just be thankful you're not bald.





    I dont really trust hairdresses myself, they always make a mess. no offence to any out there who are good. but from my own personal experiences.
    it would b gud if u were in the army u poor thing
    go buy a wig until it grows out and can be fixed properly if anyone asks why your wearing a wig tell them because you ran into a hair dresser from hell who chopped ya bald and now it has to grow out so you can get it done right. Running away is only going to hurt your family.Why punish them for something they didn't even do? Nope stay home and stop crying get a wig and enjoy the holidays its only hair and it will grow out OK NUFF SAID
    I'm sure you know now to never go back to that hair stylist! I think in the future, you should explain what happened the next time you schedule a hair appt and ask if they have any pictures of their work you could see before you decide on a stylist. I can sympathize..something similar happened to me twice in my life. I didn't want to offend the person doing my hair, I should have just saw someone else(as you should have).Also, show a picture of what you want if possible, show them where you want the length to it as well. As far as your issues with your feelings, express yourself to your family so they can support you. You need to be reassured what a great person you are and they don't love you any less because someone screwed your hair up. Covering it up might work temporarily..but it won't make you feel any better about it.
    I would ask some of my closest friends who have great hair where they get their hair done. Then see if you can at least talk to their hairstylist about what you can do. Have them describe in-depth what they would cut to fix it. If it sounds ok, let them do it but keep a close eye on them.





    If it is an uneven as it sounds, you really should have it evened up so it can grow out properly. Unfortunately, it won't look great while it's growing out (no look ever looks good while it's growing out).





    I'm so sorry to hear this happen to you (I had my hair cut shorter than an inch all over my head 2 days before I was the maid of honor in a friend's wedding because the girl got too busy talking instead of paying attention to my hair). Good luck.





    Maybe play around with some hair products to make it look less obvious. Good luck - and it will grow back.
    try these new extensions until your own hair grows back. They clip in so it will not ruin your hair.


    http://www.wigshop.com/dept.asp?nid=5%26amp;di鈥?/a>
    don't let this get out of hand your hair will grow back you must think or say something positive and be there for that family you love and who loves you anything else is wrong





    be positive good luck
    My dad said the same thing happened to his mum and that she had to wear a wig for ages. However all things will pass and now luckily you can get extensions. They are a bit expensive but if this is ruining your life so much then just go for it, just think nothing can be worse than how it is now.
    A) sue them. It will make you feel so much better - see a solicitor


    B) a wig or extensions will make your self esteem better. I had cancer earlier this year and lost all mine due to chemo. Wig helped me enormously.


    C)wear funky bandannas (see b above)


    D)Slick it back with wet look gel or spike it real funky


    E) It will grow back, unlike the talent of the alleged hairdresser.
    Oh dear. Get it dyed a funky colour or something so that you can find something positive about it. I'm sure it can't look as bad as you think, you're just comparing it to how it used to be so you just see the difference which maybe kinda shocks you. Perhaps try hair extensions? Best of luck. Oh, and remember it will grow back!!!


    xx
    go back to the hairdresser and complain and get your money back then use that money toward extensions
    Go to a new hairdresser. But KNOW where you are going. Look and ask around. amd get it cut again. i know it will be really short, but get a style that makes you feel good.
    poor you.i no how horrid you can feel when hair goes wrong,what i suggest you do if poss either get a half head of hair ext or buy a clip on ponytail .this was a savour for me when i had my hair cut short on a whim.you can work wonders with a hairpiece have a look in mags at some styles .(most models in books have extra hair or pieces attached thier own hairs not really that good ya no)get ideas n have a go,but for heavens sake stay clear of THAT salon in future.when you own hair starts to grow find a good salon and stick to it even if its pricey,they will get to no you and match the style with your personality.get sassing and practise your do,s for xmas.good luck
    my dear you don't have to worry about the bad hair cut you had,


    and i don't think the person who cut your hair can fix it again, stop worring and simply vist a shop in north london which is called pak hair boutique or call them on 02072632331, they do a very good quality of ''clip on hair '; which you can clip underneath your short hair and it will give you a lenghth and a natural look, and it is very easy to use, and very good price, you can use this natural extension until your own hair grows long!!!!!!!!
    Go to a different hair dressers and ask for something ';groovy'; they will cut and style your hair (maybe add a bright colour, blue or pink etc.) and tell your family that you wanted a change and you will get looks for better reasons. Or if you ';your not that kinda girl'; get hair extentions. The hair dresser gets payed to do this so she won't laugh at your previous disaster, so chin up! x


    PS go to a different hairdresser they are not all that bad!


    Good Luck xxx
    It should grow back, but wear a hat until then, if it makes you feel better..and have a thought for those who lose it through illness!
    Ok, first off short hair is not the worst thing in the world. There are millions of sexy short hairstyles out there ... do a google search for short hair styles and you will see tons of pictures. Find a few that you like and print them. Then go to a real salon, preferably in a large cosmopolitan area, and show them to a stylist and explain your predicament. Don't worry about the price, good haircuts by real professionals might cost you seventy to a hundred bucks and up, but it will be worth it. Explain that your goal is to have long hair again, so you want something that will grow out OK, and that isn't too much shorter than what you already have. And most importantly stop worrying, it's only hair!!!!!!!!
    I think thats really sad. I would go back and complain, tell them its not good enough try and get some money back, although that will obviously not make up for the emotional side of things you might feel a little better. Have you told your family how you feel? they would not want you to leave them because of some useless incompetent hairdresser. I had a horror of a haidresser a couple of years ago, who really embarrassed me by telling me I was riddled with head lice, I went away gutted. I got my family to have a look and a different haidresser, none of them found anything so I went back there and had a go. I never went there again and she has since gone out of buisness, so she can't have been that good. All I can say is if you can't get it fixed you are gonna have to cover it with a hat, headscarf or something until it grows out enough to tie up. Please dont feel so bad about it, it will get better.

    I neep some advice on how to break up with my girlfriend.?

    so we've been going out for 2 months and she is way to attached to me, we both live in colorado but i hav to move out of state with my mom since im only 16, she has told me some of the things she did after her last boyfriend left her, like she stopped eating for awhile and did a lot of other harmful things to herself. please if anyone can help me out here i would reallyappreciatee it.I neep some advice on how to break up with my girlfriend.?
    dont break up with her until you know shes okay.I neep some advice on how to break up with my girlfriend.?
    Definitely don't break up over text or facebook/myspace/e-mail ect. (girls hate that) I don't know how you should break up with her since every relationship is different but whatever you do don't stay in a relationship you don't want to be in just because the other person wants you to be. Whatever happens she'll feel like crap but like all girl's she'll get over it.
    I've been through that break up stuff before and usually I'm not the one who dumps (I did once and the guy would not get the hint for week and next he treats me like crap. but i didn't care it was best for me %26amp; him.) usually I'm the one who gets dumped. But try to break it to her easily.And I know that sounds hard but don't text her to break up. That makes you look like a scared chicken. Like you're afraid to even go up to her and announce to her that it's just not working out. Best thing you can do is say it's just not working out. That's what my ex told me.Of course she's going to weep but that's just what we have to do to help the pain. Hope that advice helped!
    Girls are very sensitive .. dont leave her like that.. If u no longer want her in your life.. just make her hate you.. by doing this she might go away from you... if you leave her like this she might do the same old stuff again....





    you might remain a bad guy to her for rest of her life but atleast she will be in search of a good guy

    What is some good advice for someone who is first learning how to drive?

    Condition your mind that ';YOU ARE THE ONLY COMPETENT DRIVER ON THE ROAD';. If you can do that, you will be one of the world's safest motorists.What is some good advice for someone who is first learning how to drive?
    dont be nervous. Relax. If you stress out behind the wheel, you have more chance to get in an accident.


    drive as often as you can. Get lots of pratice.What is some good advice for someone who is first learning how to drive?
    always check if the handbreak and the gear are in up and in neutral postion and check when you engage them , we won't want to engage the reverse gear when actually is to go forward now do we. DON';t Drink and DRive
    Never talk on the phone while driving, no matter if you are jsut learning, or you have been driving for years.





    Always obey all traffic laws.





    Take a drivers education course, and study very hard, take notes, pay attention to everything that the instuctor/s say.





    Get a free drivers instructional handboook from your local department of public safety (or whatever office you have to go to to test for drivers license). Read it and study it thoroughly. You should read the whole thing cover to cover at least 10 times, and you should also take notes from it and study them.
    Stay in your lane and don't try to pass until you get more experience driving.





    Also, never tailgate. I haven't had an accident in 20 years because I never tailgate. You never know what the driver ahead of you has to contend with and may need to stop suddenly for.





    Best to stop on a yellow light, unless the yellow lights stay yellow for a long time. Initially, stop on yellow unless you know that particular light stays yellow for a while.





    Don't speed. Any accident you get in will be worse if you are driving too fast.





    Just added: Don't trust the other driver. I can't tell you how often I have been tempted to go out on the road from a side street because the driver coming toward me is signaling that he will be turning down my street. Sometimes he has turned earlier and the signal light is still blinking for some reason. Wait until you see him turning before you go out on the road.





    My car insurance company LOVES me because I have been such a terrific risk for so long. I don't cost them anything because I follow all the above suggestions.
    Try the following 4-Point ActiveDrive system. Frequently look





    1. Straight ahead (of course)


    2. Back, via rearview mirror when driving. But physically turn head to view the back when backing off.


    3. At sides, via sideview mirrors.


    4. At a side by physically turning your head before changing lane (to avoid blind spots that prevent you from seeing approaching vehicles)





    * Also, remember to signal early enough before changing lanes or turning.


    * If possible, minimize driving in bad weather conditions.


    * Avoid loud music since it can encourage speeding and soothingly sleepy music when you're tired. Loud music prevents you from hearning oncoming/crossing emergency vehicles.


    * Be patient. It's better to loose some minutes missing a turn and driving 1-2 extra blocks/exits than to get involved in an accident.


    * Plan your travel ahead of time to avoid traffic jams.


    * Stay focused when driving by a scene of accident (people with ';rubbernecks'; don't take as much cautions because they're too busy looking at the accident thus not paying attention to their own driving).


    * Establish a reasonable, acceptable speed pattern when on expressways. Avoid speeding tickets, which most likely leading to higher insurance premium, and saves on milage economy. It's generally believed that expressway driving at +/-10 above/under 55 MPH is optimal for gas milage. Doing 80 MPH has adverse effects).
    Practice parallel parking, backing out, and making left turns.
    Be considerate





    Watch the road way ahead of you so you know what is going on before you have to merge or slow down.





    Don't block intersections or driveways. Leaving an opening for someone to turn off the road into a driveway wont get you there any later.





    Turn arrows are there for a reason so just wait it might take several turns but you will get your turn and stop the gridlock some people just can't help but cause because they might have to wait 2 or 3 minutes for their turn.





    Remember everyone makes mistakes so before you get angry think it through, and if drivers were more considerate of everyone on the road the road way happier place.





    What you are doing and where you are going is just as important as everyone else. Unfotunetly selfish people are allowed to drive too.





    Oh and watch for the no left turn into.....(like a gas station) because you are blocking all the cars behind you (sorry we have a gas station on a corner and people are always trying to turn left into it when if they had gone through the light they would'nt block traffic trying to turn where they arent allow and there are signs that say no left turn thgey just ignore it and back traffic up. They do it leaving too and arent suppose to turn left of.) so watch for that stuff too.
    Watch out for the other guy.





    Be a defensive driver!

Last time when I was doing that on my old comp many of the files prompted it had virus. Firstly how on earth did I get virus on my floppys I dont know, did this happen I stored them away for long? Now I want to know if its safe to run those floppys on my laptop? I have Norton anti virus protection and running windows XP. Is there a way I can remove virus before opening pictures? Please advise me if I should take the risk.I need some advice on how to use floppy disks on my new computer.?
    Okay, first get one of those external floppy drives, I don't know how much Walmart is charging (gah... Walmart, I hate Walmart), anyway you can get them from Newegg for as little as $20, http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductLis… now once you have the drive plugged in, don't transfer anything yet, scan the files on the drive with Norton (right click on the drive and you may have the option ';scan files with Norton';, I have this option with AVG. Once it either confirms the existence of a virus it may be able to remove it, there is always the possibility that it cannot clean the virus from the drive. If it can, or there is no virus then go ahead and bring the files over. Might I also suggest that you pick up a 2GB flash drive (as long as you're at Newegg) for $38 after rebates, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as… and replace all those floppies and such.





    Don't worry, Norton (as much as I dislike Norton) won't let a virus get on your system from a floppy (or any other kinds of media).I need some advice on how to use floppy disks on my new computer.?

    Try to make use of the floppy drive on old pc, external floppy drive is more expensive and less efficient than cd/dvd burner.


    Buy a crossover cable(%26lt;5 bucks) and link the 2 machine to share the floppy drive, harddrive, cd drive etc, then do whatever move/copy between the 2 machines.


    How to set up a network using crossover cable, here's the link...

    You won't find any floppy drives (for the 5.25'; discs or the driver for the 3.5'; discs).





    You need to get one of those ';thumb drives'; or ';memory sticks';.





    Good luck.
    Just buy an external Floppy Drive. Put the floppy in. Go to My computer. Right click on the floppy drive. and click scan for viruses. If there are viruses tell the computer to delete them. If it can't send me the discs and I'll do it myself.
    if you made the pics then there's nothing to worry about because you wouldn't give yourself a virus. But if they re not made by you then scan them with norton.

    So sorry. I wish I could hire you. My best advice is to go back to school for something in the healthcare field. However, I am fully aware that you need something right now. Did you go to a temping agency? Have you updated your resume? Have you tried craigslist and indeed.com? Also, have you posted ads? You can post something in a grocery store with a list of skills and qualifications.











    Good Luck
    Charlie do you have your own tools? I would suggest putting and ad in your local craigslist classifieds, oodle, kijiji, and any other classifieds that are free online. I would also suggest to offer 24 hour services. You would be surprised people will call. As an independent 1 to 2 jobs a day should get you by. The 24 hour service should work for you, around here we get alot of after hours calls, more than our guys can get to, we call other shops but nobody wants to work after 4pm. Below are some sources you can put free advertisements on. You might try and build yourself a website to, google and quite a few others offer free sites and templates. If the online thing does not work for ya, you could always hang out in the plumbing isle of a local home center, anyone shopping for parts will need them installed. Hang in there Fella!
