How can i change my look with the clothes i have in my wardrobe?

okay, i don't have much money so have to put up with what clothes i have.however, i usually wear the same top with the same jeans etc. and it's starting to get really boring.



my main clothes i wear day to day are:

straight-cut jeans, dark pair and light-wash pair

any color vest, usually black or white but also pink, red, blue etc.

any color hoodie, normally a pull over the head type but do also have zip ups, thing is they're very baggy and make me look top-heavy



i'm 15 and i want to create a bold, clashing-color look, but also look put together and not like i've thrown on the first thing i found in my wardrobe.



any tips on how to do this??

The keyword(s) here Hun is, %26quot;mix and match%26quot;. Nobody has to go out and shop for a whole new wardrobe when you have everthing you could possibly need already in your closet. If you get bored with your same old outfits, pair one thing up with another you normally don't. Like dark jeans, a funky skirt , plain tank and some beads! LOL yumm. Sweetthing get out of your box and be creative!

How do I change my header on tumblr?

I'm familiar with html and css but only to an extent and this is really bugging me. I want to replace the top header portion(red square that says %26quot;D A N N Y%26quot;) with a picture.



Here's what it looks like now helloimd4nny.tumblr.com and I want to replace it with something like his header jaaaaaas.tumblr.com/ (I do have photoshop CS4 for that).



Here's my current html coding:



%26lt;html%26gt;

%26lt;head%26gt;

%26lt;title%26gt;{Title}%26lt;/title%26gt;

%26lt;meta http-equiv=%26quot;Content-Type%26quot; content=%26quot;text/javascript; charset=iso-8859-1%26quot; /%26gt;

How do I change my header on tumblr?
1. Remove the div with id=%26quot;headertext%26quot; and replace with an img tag. Your div with id=%26quot;header%26quot; should look like the following:

%26lt;div id=%26quot;header%26quot;%26gt;

%26lt;img src=%26quot;http://i45.tinypic.com/vdifs9.png%26quot; /%26gt;

%26lt;/div%26gt;



2. In your css, remove %26quot;height: 200px%26quot; from the %26quot;#header%26quot; css selector.



3. In the img tag, I'm using jaaaaaas.tumblr.com's image. To change it to your image, replace http://i45.tinypic.com/vdifs9.png with the location to your image.

I've just had my hair died once again.. now it had black brown, and i put blond streaks:P a real mess, but people think it's cool . anyways, im not sure if i want to get it, and how much about for my whole head at a salon? and how much would be hair extensions( real hair) i've been told to try a really light blond, because i used to be one. but my eyebrows have darkened! what then ?? bleach?



ps. this is all going to be professionally done !

    I didn't change my Oxygen sensor soon enough and burnt a valve. How can I get it to pass smog test?

    The vehicle I'm talking about is a 1990 Toyota pickup with the 22re motor and a four speed with 238k miles. It passed the last test with flying colors but didn't heed the check engine light because the truck ran great and the light was only intermittent. Suddenly it ran rough, and I'm scared to take it to the test only smog check place and fail. Is there anything I can do? I may have to have some head work done and replace the valve...

    There's no way around it. You fix the problem or you will not pass.



    Sorry.





    Good Luck...

    You have to change the O2 or you will NEVER pass

    It's terrible. Boring dialogue, story isn't compelling at all.

    How can I safely change hair color back to blonde from brunette at home?

    I was a level 10 blonde before dyeing my hair a level 4 dark brown (permanent) at home in March this year. I am naturally a dark ash blonde. I decided in May that I wanted to return to blonde and went to the salon. They would only give me partial highlights, so I ended up with highlights of light blonde, caramel and copper on top, with the dark brown underneath.



    Yesterday I decided to try lightening overall on my own at home. I had about 6-7 weeks of grow out of my natural dark ash blonde color. I used a level 10 feria in light cool blonde in this attempt. Unfortunately, it barely lightened the already colored hair, however it did lighten my 6 weeks of grown out roots! Since I used a cool blonde, I didn't end up with orange roots, but my hair definitely has a golden blonde tone, especially on the roots and the top half of my head that has the highlights.



    So after all of that background info, here is my question...hopefully to a hair colorist or expert home hair colorist out there: What should I do from here to get to blonde again? Should I try using an actual bleach blonding kit? Do some heavy duty conditioning treatments beforehand?

    Bipolar love on and off like a light switch?

    I have just recently falling head over heels with a man that has BP. It felt amazing.I truly believed this was love and know that dfor me it is. He then began to change drastically over night. I assumed he was falling out of love with me, asked him and he said yes. How does BP work in falling in love and out of love so quickly? I did not realize till tonight that this could have played a role in all this. Also around the time I noticed the change he had moved and changed his living arrangements. Just curious...
    Bipolar love on and off like a light switch?
    As a person with Bi-Polar syndrome My suggestion to you is to just give him a little space right now. He is most likely just going through his manic stage right now. Personally when I get like that I just need to be given some time to think and relax.

  • How can I change my hair colour the safest way?

    I've died my hair about 15 times, with semi permanents and permanent dies. About 3 months ago I tried going back to my natural colour, a medium to light ash blonde. BUt, the hairdresser died it dark red/brown. It has faded to a medium ash blonde, but still kind of reddish, almost brown looking. My roots look lighter and more blonde. I'd like the rest of my hair to appear more golden or neutral blonde. Any suggestions on how to do this without destroying my hair, which is a little bit on the thin side, but still pretty healthy? I really don't want to put my head into the hands of another hairdresser, that I don't know, without some basic knowledge myself.
    How can I change my hair colour the safest way?
    Just do it yourself at home, buy a box from the store of the color of your choice and do it yourself. My mom does it all the time and it works great for her, and on the other hand my grandmother gets it done by a hairdressser and it works great for her too but she knows both of the haiirdressers very well(she has 2 hairdressers) and theyre great friends, so i still suggest you do it at home. I'ts cheaper and may be more trustworthy and realiable,if you don't like it just buy another color and do it over the wrong color to ease it down a bit to a better color. :) hope i helped

    98 Malibu Intake Manifold, Water Pump, or Head Gasket?

    I'm sorry I have read these concerns but I am so confused. I have a 98 Malibu 3100. I have a history of having to put coolant in my car about every 4 months, and no one could tell exactly where is was from.So I get my oil changed, and inspection done today.I notice the guy was checking my fluids, and I saw him poor coolant in the car, and he kept pooring. I thought how odd because my light didnt come on as usual.Next thing I know I'm being called out to my car. We look down and see liquid dropping but cant tell exactly where from.He told me I would need a high pressure test done, but the mechanic wasn't in today.He just told me to keep an eye out and bring it during the week so they could keep checking until the returns.So I go home,come out about 4 hours later, and I be damned if there wasn't a puddle under my car.I opened the hood, checked the tank...practically empty.How do I know if it is the intake manifold or head gasket?How do I know I will be given the correct diagnosis?!
    98 Malibu Intake Manifold, Water Pump, or Head Gasket?
    How do you know you won't?

    What are your other options?
    98 Malibu Intake Manifold, Water Pump, or Head Gasket?
    Go to a trusted mechanic. Intake gasket failure is not uncommon on your car.
    Intake and Head gaskets are not as easy to tell as the watter pump. The water pump has a pully and is driven by a belt. The intake sits on the heads with a gasket between them. The head sits on top of the engin block with a gasket between them. The gasktes are either rubber or a fiber composit, looks like paper. Under your hood should be a sticker of the belt diagram and how to replace it. It should show you the water pumps location in relation to your engin. If you can see water (coolant) coming from around the water pump, then usually that would be the problem. However, often times a pin hole in a hose or the ratiator can go undetected for a long time. Good luck and I hope I helped you.
    If your head gasket is blown you will have coolant in your oil. It makes your oil look like a tan milky substance and you will blow white smoke out your tail pipe. Look at your radiators top and bottom hoses. Look at the water pump where it bolts on there is a gasket there that could be leaking. You could also have a hole in your radiator. Fill it up with water (Its Cheaper till you get it fixed) and drive a few miles (3-5), come back home and look to see if you can see where its coming out.
    these cars had a manifold gasket problem. 99-01 had factory recalls. you should be able to look them up in Chevy recall info. I don't know of the fix. whether they got a better gasket or added something.

    If it was a head gasket you would loose power, usually
    It can be tricky to locate thes leaks and sometimes they don't know until they get in there.



    Although may other cause could be the problem like your water pump could be going, frost plug or block htr is leaking depending on where you live, a radiator hose could be leaking, radiator could have a leak.



    Try putting stop lesk powder in your radiator to see if it stops the leak. pepper or milk works too.



    If you have a head gasket leak then you will generally have white smoke in the exhaust or coolant in your oil which would be seen by a milky color when checking the oil.
    Most of the time unless its a severe leak the cylinder head gaskets do not leak externally although there are exceptions. So if there is a puddle under the car there is a strong chance that it is the intake manifold gaskets. If you look under where the upper rad hose connects to the engine and you see a puddle of coolant thats were the intake gaskets usually leak.

    How well do you know your music?

    Lets see how well you know your music....name the artists and titles of the songs :)



    1st song:

    I was staying at the Marriott

    With Jesus and John Wayne

    I was waiting for a chariot

    They were waiting for a train

    The sky was full of carrion

    %26quot;I'll take the mazuma%26quot;

    Said Jesus to Marion

    %26quot;That's the 3:10 to Yuma

    My ride's here...%26quot;



    The Houston sky was changeless

    We galloped through bluebonnets

    I was wrestling with an angel

    You were working on a sonnet

    You said, %26quot;I believe the seraphim

    Will gather up my pinto

    And carry us away, Jim

    Across the San Jacinto

    My ride's here...%26quot;



    Shelley and Keats were out in the street

    And even Lord Byron was leaving for Greece

    While back at the Hilton, last but not least

    Milton was holding his sides

    Saying, %26quot;You bravos had better be

    ready to fight

    Or we'll never get out of East Texas tonight

    The trail is long and the river is wide

    And my ride's here%26quot;



    I was staying at the Westin

    I was playing to a draw

    When in walked Charlton Heston

    With the Tablets of the Law

    He said, %26quot;It's still the Greatest Story%26quot;

    I said, %26quot;Man, I'd like to stay

    But I'm bound for glory

    I'm on my way

    My ride's here...%26quot;





    2nd Song:



    Let me run with you tonight

    Ill take you on a moonlight ride

    Theres someone I used to see

    But she dont give a damn for me



    But let me get to the point, lets roll another joint

    And tu rn the radio loud, Im too alone to be proud

    You dont know how it feels

    You dont know how it feels to be me



    People come, people go

    Some grow young, some grow cold

    I woke up in between

    A memory and a dream



    So lets get to the point, lets roll another joint

    Lets head on down the road

    Theres somewhere I gotta go

    And you dont know how it feels

    You dont know how it feels to be me



    My old man was born to rock

    Hes still tryin to beat the clock

    Think of me what you will

    I got a little space to fill



    So lets get to the point, lets roll another joint

    Lets head on down the road

    Theres somewhere I gotta go

    And you dont know how it feels

    No, you dont know how it feels to be me





    3rd song:



    When the wind blows and the rain feels cold

    With a head full of snow

    With a head full of snow

    In the window there's a face you know

    Don't the night pass slow

    Don't the nights pass slow

    The sound of strangers sending nothing to my mind

    Just another mad mad day on the road

    I am just living to be lying by your side

    But I'm just about a moonlight mile on down the road

    Made a rag pile of my shiny clothes

    Gonna warm my bones

    Gonna warm my bones

    I got silence on my radio

    Let the air waves flow

    Let the air waves flow

    Oh I'm sleeping under strange strange skies

    Just another mad mad day on the road

    My dreams is fading down the railway line

    I'm just about a moonlight mile on down the road

    Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

    I'm hiding sister and I'm dreaming

    I'm riding down your moonlight mile

    I'm hiding baby and I'm dreaming

    I'm riding down your moonlight mile

    I'm riding down you moonlight mile

    Let it go now, come on up babe

    Yeah, let it go now

    Yeah, flow now baby

    Yeah move on now yeah

    Yeah, I'm coming home

    'Cause, I'm just about a moonlight mile on down the road

    Down the road, down the road

    Yeah, yeah, hey hey hey baby, now







    4th song:

    On the turning away

    From the pale and downtrodden

    And the words they say

    Which we won't understand

    %26quot;Don't accept that what's happening

    Is just a case of others' suffering

    Or you'll find that you're joining in

    The turning away%26quot;

    It's a sin that somehow

    Light is changing to shadow

    And casting it's shroud

    Over all we have known

    Unaware how the ranks have grown

    Driven on by a heart of stone

    We could find that we're all alone

    In the dream of the proud

    On the wings of the night

    As the daytime is stirring

    Where the speechless unite

    In a silent accord

    Using words you will find are strange

    And mesmerised as they light the flame

    Feel the new wind of change

    On the wings of the night

    No more turning away

    From the weak and the weary

    No more turning away

    From the coldness inside

    Just a world that we all must share

    It's not enough just to stand and stare

    Is it only a dream that there'll be

    No more turning away?





    These are pretty easy, but good luck anyhow!

    Is quoting half verses Haram in support of your arguments if it would cause a change in context.?

    One of the half verse often quoted (in Y/A including) to support the idea of following Hadith (blindly) is: %26quot;And whatsoever the Messenger (Muhammad [sal-Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam]) gives you, take it; and whatsoever he forbids you, abstain (from it). And fear Allah; verily, Allah is Severe in punishment.%26quot;

    (Qur'aan 59:7)



    The half version gives the verse generality but when you read the verse as a single unit, the context becomes crystal clear.



    Here is the full version:



    shakar: Whatever Allah has restored to His Messenger from the people of the towns, it is for Allah and for the Messenger, and for the near of kin and the orphans and the needy and the wayfarer, so that it may not be a thing taken by turns among the rich of you, and whatever the Messenger gives you, accept it, and from whatever he forbids you, keep back, and be careful of (your duty to) Allah; surely Allah is severe in retributing (evil): Quran 59:07





    Asad further eleborate



    Whatever [spoils taken] from the people of those villages God has turned over to His Apostle - [all of it] belongs to God and the Apostle, [Sc., and not to individual Muslim warriors. As so often in the Quran, the expression %26quot;God and the Apostle%26quot; is here a metonym for the Islamic cause, and for a government that rules in accordance with the laws of the Quran and the teachings of the Prophet.] and the near of kin [of deceased believers], and the orphans, and the needy, and the wayfarer, [Cf. 8:41, which relates to booty acquired in actual warfare, out of which only one-fifth is to be reserved for the above five categories (see note on 8:41). In distinction from all such booty, the gains obtained through fay are to be utilized in their entirety under these five headings. As regards the term ibn as-sabil (%26quot;wayfarer%26quot;), see the third note on 2:177.] so that it may not be [a benefit] going round and round among such of you as may [already] be rich. Hence, accept [willingly] whatever the Apostle gives you [thereof], and refrain from [demanding] anything that he withholds from you; and remain conscious of God: for, verily, God is severe in retribution. [Respectively, in later times, the head of an Islamic state, who has to decide - in the light of the exigencies - how the share of %26quot;God and His Apostle%26quot; is to be utilized for the common weal.] Quran 59:07



    And if you still have doubts than read the preceding verse



    Literal: And what God bestowed upon/gave spoils of war on His messenger from them, so you did not hurry/rush on him from horses, and nor camels ridden or loaded/riders , and but God empowers His messengers on whom He wills/wants , and God is on every thing capable. (Whatever God gave His messenger is not from your support but through God's blessing.) Quran 59:06



    Sorry for the long explanation but somebody had to do it.
    Is quoting half verses Haram in support of your arguments if it would cause a change in context.?
    Thank you for sharing.
    Is quoting half verses Haram in support of your arguments if it would cause a change in context.?
    they Always quote part of the above verse ,to fit in hadith books,sending wrong message across the board,manipulating Allah's Word, distorting Allah's Message !
    the verse still indicate that we should take and obey whatever the messenger of Allah said or do.



    there are even more verses:



    83. When there comes to them some matter touching (public) safety or fear, they make it known (among the people); if only they had referred it to the Messenger or to those charged with authority among them, the proper investigators would have understood it from them (directly). Had it not been for the grace and mercy of Allah upon you, you would have followed Shaytan, except a few of you.)



    (43. And We sent not (as Our Messengers) before you (O Muhammad) any but men, whom We sent revelation. So ask Ahl Adh-Dhikr, if you know not.) (44. With clear signs and Books (We sent the Messengers). And We have also revealed the Dhikr to you so that you may clearly explain to men what was revealed to them, and that perhaps they may reflect.)



    ?????? ????? ?????????? ????? ?????????? ????? ????? ??????? ??????????? ??????? ??? ??????? ?????? ??????????? ???? ?????????? ????? ?????? ??????? ??????????? ?????? ????? ???????? ????????? ?



    (36. It is not for a believer, man or woman, when Allah and His Messenger have decreed a matter that they should have any option in their decision. And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger, he has indeed strayed into a plain error.)



    ??????????? ??????? ???????????????? ???? ???????????? ???????????? ?????????????? ????????? ???????????? ?????????? ??????? ???????? ??? ??????? ??????? ???? ?????????????? ????????????????? ?????? ??? ??????????? ????? ??????????????? ??????????? ????? ?????? ??? ?????????? ?????????? ?



    (6. The Prophet is closer to the believers than themselves, and his wives are their mothers. And blood relations among each other have closer personal ties in the decree of Allah t



    (69. And whoever obeys Allah and the Messenger, then they will be in the company of those on whom Allah has bestowed His grace, of the Prophets, the Siddiqin, the martyrs, and the righteous. And how excellent these companions are!) (70. Such is the bounty from Allah, and Allah is sufficient as All-Knower.)





    @Muhmoud K

    are you sure?

    so how about these verses that I qouted?



    @Edit

    he was talking about the last part of the Hadith, that's why people asked him, if they didn't notice they wont bother ask, because he said %26quot;the prophet said%26quot;



    so, he was talking about this part:



    A wife says, 'You should either provide me with food or divorce me.' A slave says, 'Give me food and enjoy my service.%26quot; A son says, %26quot;Give me food; to whom do you leave me?%26quot; The people said, %26quot;



    it's obvious.



    beside, any Muslim can check about any Hadith to know if it's fake or not.

    but don't make your own choices.



    @Edit

    oh, how smart, as usual.

    Abu Hurairah already put a note.



    do you know what the hadith means???

    see, your plane is very clear, instead of answering to my answer or Qs(like in your previous Q.), you start circling a round.



    by the way, this is typical, all RK followers do the same, believe me, till now, no one provided an answer to any Q.



    oh, by the way, this is not my explanation.

    if you read hadiths books explanation, you will find it there.

    and it's not new.



    but I guess you didn't read it from a book, yes?



    you cant read Arabic, yes?



    @Edit

    I'm not slandering you, you are doing good job in doing so to your won self.



    but it is very amusing to watch people circling around the argument, because they have nothing to say.



    if you don't have any answer not evidence to provide, just keep silent, instead of embarrassing yourself.



    and following the idea of a%26quot;man%26quot; while refusing to follow the prophet, makes you one of his followers.



    it's a matter of choices, I'm not trying to convince you here, just exposing your lies for Muslims sake.



    give me the names of the %26quot;teenage%26quot; companions.

    the quotation Qur'aan 59:7)

    is correct and is not out of context althought its is quoted half of the verse still there isnt any change in its meaning



    as long there isnt any change in the meaning of the verse u can quote it half as well

    Could I have traumatic brain injury? or a serious head injury?

    I was in a bad car accident about 7 years ago. The car I was in was turning left, and a car ran a red light and hit us. I was in the passenger seat. I sustained a broken pelvis, and moderate head trauma. I have no recollection of the entire day, the accident, or afterward.



    I feel like I have changed so much since my accident.

    -My memory is horrible. If I have a conversation with someone and then another person asks me what we talked about, I can't remember much. I can't recall the details.

    -I cannot articulate my thoughts. Before my accident I always raised my hand and participated in class discussions. I hardly ever speak in class now, because I don't know how to say what I'm thinking.

    -I remember nothing that I learned in my college classes.

    -I have a hard time telling people stories, because I cannot put all the pieces together, and often times I don't make sense

    -I don't understand jokes as much and find some movies and TV shows confusing

    -Basically I have a difficult time understanding concepts that most people get right away.



    Does this sound like the symptoms of TBI or head trauma? If so, what can I do to get tested? Any other advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Could I have traumatic brain injury? or a serious head injury?
    GOB Bluth (I'm SURE there's a cool story with that name),



    It seems to me that you show many of the common issues that we people with TBI (mine was in 1973). You talk about memory (by the way, I've heard that our problem isn't a memory problem: our memories are fine. The memory seems to be %26quot;lost%26quot; as it's moving from %26quot;Immediate Memory%26quot; to %26quot;Short Term Memory%26quot;), aphasia (language difficulty), losing track of our own conversations, confusion. If they wrote that you had %26quot;moderate head trauma%26quot;, it's clear you have it. Welcome to the club!



    If you want 'testing' (and I assume you mean testing of your residual cognitive skills), I say %26quot;go for it%26quot;. It seems to me that your doctor should be able to refer you to a neuropsychologist for what is called a Neuropsychological Evaluation. This test is usually given over 2 days, as most of the full tests last over 6 hours. I suggest that you get a full night's sleep before both days. I will warn you that part of the test involves you getting tired and them testing how well you perform under the added stress of the fatigue. I've had these tests myself (actually a few times), and they told me a lot about what my deficits were as well as those that remain.



    My history and goals: I found myself getting quite depressed after 2 years (when my neurosurgeon told me I would reach a 'permanent and stationary' condition). But then I found myself getting better and I thought that I'd %26quot;dodged the bullet%26quot;. I felt great until I DID hit a 'plateau': then I was devastated until I pulled out of it. I plateaued a second, and then again a third time. Then I looked at my %26quot;Day at a Glance%26quot;s and found that when I sounded depressed in the text (I wrote hundreds of words for each day), it was when I wasn't in school or working a 'stimulating' job. And when I 'picked up' cognitively, as evidenced by my more upbeat text, it was when I either went back to school or a 'stimulating', job. After that, I've made it my life's goal to spread the word of this discovery and how others can maximize their recovery cognitively, emotionally and vocationally.



    So get the neuropsych (they can be wonderful as they mostly confirm what you already know, and what you DIDN'T know about can give you more information to be able to cope with whatever cognitive challenges (yep, that's what they are) that are granted you. I'd also suggest attending brain injury support groups: they've helped me both to cope emotionally and learn 'workarounds' for my residual cognitive issues. You can find support groups through your state branch of the Brain Injury Association (www.bia.usa). And thirdly, I'd like to encourage you (well, all of you actually) to feel free to contact me: talk is free. I'm working on a new business offering 'classes' on specific issues around TBI as well as group or individual counseling to help you recover as many skills as you can and 'work around' those skills that don't come back all the way. I'm here to help as much as I can.

  • How does one change a deep seeded fear that has negatively impacted friendships and created habits of an AHole?

    I lost my idea of friendship when i was 22. Not because of backstabbing, jealousy, distrust, etc, but because of a night that started simply enough and ended in me talking my way out of getting Dying.



    I entered the bar, and me being the sober one at that time, was asked by a friend for a small favor. Her friend who had a little too much to drink needed to go home but couldn't drive, yet also didn't want to leave her car at the spot. The nice guy inside me flourished and i accepted. Harmless enough. I got in her car and drove her home, finding out on the drive that her house was a little farther away than what was insinuated (about 15 miles). We go inside and she calls a taxi service to come get me. They called back 10 minutes later to say they don't go that far out of town (this is where the night shifted).



    Stuck in the middle of nowhere. My only option was to get back in her car and go back to the bar. Problem was, once i figured out that that was my only option, she proceeded to put on an old record and began crying. Drunk crying. It got bad. In my head i was freaking out. I talked with her for a bit, but to no avail. A little later, She calmed down a bit for me to explain my situation. As she made her way to grab the keys, i got up and started walking towards the door. I heard keys jiggling as she walked out of the kitchen. She looked at me by the door and weirdly began to hurry towards her bedroom. As I stood there, i saw something glisten from the dark hallway. The little old lady came into the light, pointed a small revolver straight at me, and began drunkenly telling me that i came here to kill her.



    ...



    I survived...By talking her down. But from that moment on, i realize that from that point on i had never allowed myself to be that nice again. I stopped doing favors for friends and family. I couldn't even give my friends a ride to work when we worked the same shifts (i got over that one). But i realize that that was a changing point in my life to where now some might describe me as an asshole because of this deep seeded survival fear that habitually dictates the actions that i take (or do not take in some cases).
    How does one change a deep seeded fear that has negatively impacted friendships and created habits of an AHole?
    Wow.

    She was obviously very disturbed. You can thank your intelligence for the ability to talk yourself out of such a situation!



    However, not everybody will be like that in your life. You seem to be punishing other genuine people for the actions of this one, deranged old lady.

    There's no need to stop doing favours for those you care for. You should though, have boundaries. Like to never again give lifts to those you don't really know! Besides, any favour that would put you out to an extreme sense like becoming stranded like you did, is detrimental to your self, therefore shouldn't be done. Often, people see being taken advantage of, as doing 'favours' for people. It's an easy situation to get oneself into, but a hard one to get out of without causing some negativity.

    Yes, if you've stopped helping your friends(once you have rationally understood the consequences of your actions) with anything, you will be seen as not a very helpful friend and consequentially, will lose some of your friends.

    You have to remember, we all have friends for selfish reasons - not because we think we'd be good as a friend for someone, but because WE need friends. This works both ways.

    So if you're no longer acting like a friend to those you want as friends, they won't really want you, as you serve no real purpose to them. Harsh perhaps, but ultimately true.



    As for changing this...hmm.

    Perhaps a realisation that this was only one event in many successful ones?

    It seems like the event had the opportunity to learn valuable lessons from. It's just such a shame that you seem to have only took the negative aspects from it!

    Would you read my book? what should i change?

    ok it is about a 16 yr old girl called stella who has gastric cancer and a brain tumor. dimitri is her vampire/doctor/ soon to be bf. :)



    Chapter 8



    I was sneaking out of my room when I bumped into someone in the dark of the hallway. “Hello, Stella. I see your up late,” a sweet voice said, surprising me. I spun around, half expecting it to just be a nurse. A curvy figure loomed in front of me, striding forward a step for every two steps I took. “Mmmm.... You smell delicious,” the figure told me. Her eyelids opened, showing off bright red eyes. I smelled copper close by my face; she was a few inches away now. She licked her lips, showing off two sharp, pointed fangs. I tried to back up; I slammed into the wall. “I’m hungry, aren’t you? Let’s not wait for dinner,” she said, and lunged for my throat.



    Something bounded up the hall and a fist came in contact with her stomach, sending her flying. “What in the heck were you thinking, Stella?” a familiar pair of silver and gold eyes asked, grabbing my shoulders and shaking me violently. “Ow....” I complained, looking over at my shoulder. Dimitri released me suddenly in mid-shake. I heard small thuds working up the hall, and in less than a second, she was back up here. I flipped the lights on, using the light switch on the right side of my door, and I saw the red-headed nurse, Valentina, and Dimitri fighting. In the snarling, growling match, a cart of cleaning supplies got pushed onto the floor, chemical bottles leaking, sending noxious fumes towards my direction.

    I covered my mouth and nose with my hands, trying to breathe in little as possible of the chemicals that drenched the fluffy carpet. I didn’t want to escape to my room; it was freezing in there, and I wanted to make sure he didn’t kill his sister. But, that last part seemed true; he ripped her limb from limb in a few minutes of her struggling against him. He threw the limbs in a clean garbage bag that was hanging on the cart, and he threw that down the hall. I heard the rumpling as someone grabbed the bag out of mid-air. Dimitri got up and brushed all the deep red strands of hair that had caught on his pullover as they fought. I still had my hands over my mouth; it wasn’t helping. I felt lightheaded, and wanted to lay down. But, I fought against it. I watched as Dimitri cleaned up the mess from the cart and cleaned up the carpet. He was just finishing up when I thought of a question. “How come no one was running out of the building or calling the police?” I asked, confused as usual. “She gave them sleeping pills. Except the guy she bit. She likes to seduce them first,” he said. I was going to ask more questions, but a gurney was creaking down the hall, with a blanket over the almost-lifeless body of an innocent victim. Natalie stopped in front of us, starting to speak in her little voice. “You can still save him, you know. And, he isn’t too bad looking already, actually,” she said, her voice as sweet as sugar.

    “Hey!” a booming voice down the hall yelled. I snapped my head in that direction and saw Jareth standing with his arms and hands a position that said, ‘hell-o, I’m still here!’, with the bloody bag clutched in one hand. He started walking down the hall, looking a bit jealous with a scowl on his face. “Do I get no credit?” Jareth asked, pointing to his handsome face. Natalie laughed. “Never mind,” she said. Dimitri slowly folded the blanket back, showing the face and neck. He was covered in blood; a salty scent filled the air, making me want to vomit. I turned around to face the wall, nauseated, to get a hold of my self before I saw what happened next.

    I took a few deep breaths, and turned back around. The man’s neck was cleaned off all blood, and Dimitri was leaning in towards his neck. I saw the multiple pairs of holes Valentina made, and Dimitri’s fangs stretched them out larger as they entered a pair of the old holes. His fangs had to be at least three inches in length; they were poking out of his mouth when he had started to bend down. They weren’t the usual bright white; they had a small grey tint when the venom spread from his gums, wrapping around the tooth. He started to inject venom into the body after taking a little more blood to fit more venom in. As the man’s body grew pale with loss of blood, Dimitri pumped more venom in and rubbed venom onto the other bites, closing them instantly. The dying man was turning blue, then purple. Finally, Dimitri moved away, the body thrashing. Dimitri ran into my room and came back with the fours metal legs off the chair in my room. “Hey, my mom bought that chair—” I was cut off by a muffled bending sound. I looked what he was doing. Dimitri was bending the metal legs around the sides of the gurney and the man’s wrists and ankles, securing him down. I looked at Dimitri in question. “He’ll be very thirsty when he is done transforming,” he said, answering my unspoken question, “and we don’t want anyone else around here bein
    Would you read my book? what should i change?
    Yeah, I kinda agree with both people that answered before me. You can write well, but you should pick a new topic. In my opinion, vampire books are getting old and your book seems a little similar to twilight. So, I think you should just pick a different subject, then you might get some progress. But you are a good writer, so don't give it up.
    Would you read my book? what should i change?
    stella??? vampire doctor??? you could definitely change the similarity to twilight in the names and vampire thing.
    Vampire books are played out.
    Yeah this is really good. Your amazing!
    mmk well I liked it it was very good BUT....

    I've read so many stories like this....

    and it seems it was a bit like twilight now I hated twilight try changing it up

    So I think you got a lot of potential good luck! :)
    OMFG ive never really liked to read vampire stories and stuff and i have no advice for you because ill read anything good and that was great! I really loved it i wanna keep reading! i cant just styop in the middle of a book and never finish it please please please send the book to me?!

    http://www.myspace.com/497882474 Seriously i HAVE to read that book! (And i dont even like vampire stories so you know its good)



    BUT I HAVE 1 PIECE OF ADVIDCE! : Make sure the first sentence and paragraph in the book is gonna capture the readers and Make It Something Awesome And Dramatical Happeing In The Begining Of The Book (First Paragraph Should Be Awesome And Intense [usually] ok? )
    Can't people get over the fact that all other vampire books are NOT copying their beloved Twilight?!



    I love Twilight, but I also love so many other vampire books, the world doesn't revolve around them just because they got big!



    I love this story so far, I like the fact that she's ill and he's the doctor, he's like her saviour. I love the name Dimitri too!! It's great so far, when your done can I read? or if you get it published then tell me I'd buy it. :D

    LSD changed my life, I think, how do I change back to who I used to be?

    This is a very hard to explain and touchy matter for me.. I'm sorry if you can't completely understand what I'm saying but I'll try my best.



    I'm a 17 year old highschool dropout, no job, and terrible anxiety.



    When I was around 14 or 15 a friend of mine came back from vacation with some LSD, he was 17 at the time and threw a hit to me and we both tripped together.

    Immediately it was full of panic, he came out of the washroom and I swear I saw his face just do a bit of a morph into something dark, I ran to a room down the hall and shut the door. It was night time and there was no light on and I completely freaked out.



    My friend calmed me down and told me it was all in my head, and said lets go outside.

    Out there I was calm, but looking at the ground I'd see patterns of worms and just had this extremely panicy feeling. We walked forther down past an old creepy looking bridge and I got worked up and ran about half a mile down the road (or so I though) it ended up being maybe 100 feet or so, after that we went back and I started to chill out a bit.



    I'm not sure how any of this could have changed my life, but I feel that it has.

    I did LSD maybe 20 times after that, it was almost a weekly thing and some good trips some bad, did shrooms once.



    Anyway, when I think back on it.

    Before I did LSD that one time, I had no social anxiety, no fear of depression or being alone, I was a happy kid in 9th grade.



    Can LSD really permanently effect a mind like it did to mine?

    Right now I've been feeling really useless, confused about why I decided to make such dumb choices so far in life. Giving up all my friends, I've got nobody left.

    I haven't left my house in almost two weeks honestly, the only friend I have is a girl I've been dating long distance for the past two years..



    I just don't know what to do, I feel so lost and confused.

    I have no psychiatrist, I take no pills, I'm just.. here.



    I'm not sure what my question even is, I just don't know what to do..

    I've been clean from every drug for a few months now.



    Thanks.. if anyone decides to read it all.
    LSD changed my life, I think, how do I change back to who I used to be?
    When you take LSD, You are automaticly inviting demons into your life. That is why you saw scary things when you were on drugs, and why you felt scared.

    You are not the only one who has seen demons when they have taken drugs.

    I think you are feeling like there is something missing in your life, but you don't know why.



    When you invite demons into your life, they will feed you lies, like your not good enough, that you are worthless. They can also make you feel depresed.

    There is only one way you can be permenantly cured, and that is through the healing of Jesus.

    This is what you are missing.

    Jesus is waiting to heal your depression, to heal your addictions, and to protect you from satan. All you have to do is ask Him, and he will heal you, the question is, will you let Him?



    A pastor was telling us about this girl, one night she came and sat up the back of the church and God told him to go and talk to her. She was asking her questions about her life and where it is going, he noticed that she was curently under the infuence of drugs. She said she wanted to give her life to Jesus but she couldn't. He replied to her, this is because you have two demons holding you down to that seat, he then rebuked the demons and she stood up, at the moment she gave her life to Jesus, and she soberd at the exact moment. She went from being extremly drugged up to complelty sober in one second.

    Imagine how He can help you.

    .

    He loves you so much and is waiting to heal you, you don't have to go on like this. Trust me he will heal you.

    Your depression can end today, this is your way out.



    This will be the best decision you've ever made.



    Go somewhere quite, and just ask Him to enter your life, and to be filled with his holy Spirit. Tell Him that you want to change your life, and ask for forgiveness. Ask Him to take out you addiction in your life, and restore your brain. With a little bit of faith, He will answer your prayers.



    It's good to start going to church and meet other people who know Jesus.

    reading a bible is the best way to get to know Him. You can read the bible online if you want to.

    Remember that you are not worthless, you are loved by someone so amazing. This will be the best decision you will ever make i promise you.

    God bless.

    LSD changed my life, I think, how do I change back to who I used to be?
    Yes, LSD can permanently mess you up. A friend of mines brother was totally fine then had a really bad trip on LSD and after that he was totally non-functioning. If you have insurance go see a doctor and get a referral to a psychiatrist. If you live in a bigger city there may be sources of free help for mental health issues.
    I think you are taking a step in the right direction by writing and talking on here man. I have also gone through a similar situation as you are right now, and I know that many drug users have felt or feel the same way that you do right now. I suggest to talk to someone that you trust and tell them how you feel, or attend a class called NA and you don't even have to say a word there-you can just listen and I promise it will help you out. Just stay clean off of drugs, try to relax, and I hate to suggest it but smoke cigarettes for a while to help relax. Hope I helped a little bit.
    It's very unlikely that LSD is the cause f your problems man. Of course your anxious. Your 17, not in school %26amp; unemployed. Start looking for a job man, once you have one you'll probably feel a lot better. Until then just be constructive, go ******* volunteer or something. Take it easy man. Good luck.
    i think the real question is what is driving you to use such heavy drugs in the 1st place. LSD can have permanent effects on the human brain, but by going clean you have taken a step in the right direction. However, feeling depression and social anxiety is a gateway for you to get back into the use of drugs. to avoid this, seek an outlet that allows you fun while also being constructive. pick up a sport, a videogame, or make new friends. worse case scenario, seek help from a therapist to determine what the real root of your feelings of depression and anxiety really is. Good luck
    One time can screw up your brain - especially when you're a teenager %26amp; your mind is still developing. 20 times is insane, no doubt it did some sort of damage,



    Get out of the house, get your g.e.d, get a job. Sitting home all day won't do much for you. Get out of your rut and start doing something.
    LSD can have a permanent effect, but it is rare. It's more likely that you had a predisposition to an anxiety problem and since LSD sort of %26quot;speeds up your mind%26quot; in a way, it was triggered. The normal struggles of being in 9th grade can also be a trigger for problems that already existed but were hidden.



    Congratulations on getting clean. You have taken a difficult step.



    You should definitely see a psychologist. If they think you need to see a psychiatrist, they will recommend one. They will probably also give you regular therapy sessions to help you learn to deal with the anxiety.



    I don't think it's likely that you're stuck with this anxiety problem forever, regardless of what caused it. Therapy and perhaps medication are likely to help, and your life can be much more rewarding without the added strain of an untreated mental illness.
    hey, lsd ruined my life for a while, too =(



    when i was sixteen i did acid and during a trip i kept realizing everything was for nothing; existence is meaningless, etc etc etc. those thoughts made me suicidal for like 2yrs thereafter



    since then ive become more reclusive n depressed



    the only thing that helped was hypnotherapy
    We are a product of our experiences. There are three possibilities:



    1. LSD physically changed the way your brain operates.

    2. The experience of using LSD changed the way you operate.

    3. It could be a mixture of the two cases above.



    Either way, you've changed; it doesn't really matter how or why. What you should be asking yourself is: %26quot;How am I going to let this experience affect my life?%26quot; If you're happy with your current situation, then that's great. If you wish to change your situation, then I suggest you do so.
    The only problem you have is gullibility.

    The real dangers of LSD are not like that, and you are not a very good psychologist.

    Get over yourself.

    If you want to talk to trusted authorities about what's going on now just skip the trip! Don't tell.

    It's not really relevant.

    You can bring all kinds of problems on yourself if you really want with the unenlightened thinkers in the war on drugs standing by to hurt you. Give it a rest, it's a waste of time.

    Do useful things.

    Slight dizziness and nausea no headache but slight pressure in the back of the head?

    I am afraid this might be brain tumor. My name is Otto and I am almost 20 years old and I am Asian. Im a guy. I am slightly over weight and I do not smoke. The entire thing started when I was heading off to college in the summer of 2007. My mother and I were heading to Washington DC from LA. We were driving across country. one night when we stopped to grab dinner I suddenly experienced difficulty swallowing. Then my head felt really confused and just plain strange. I could not talk properly. I could only answer to simple questions and I was subtly shaking. We went back to the hotel and I just went to bed but even then I was feeling really weird. I do not know how to describe this well, but it feels like a gush of different thoughts rushing through my head and I cannot control them. My mom did not understand what was going on because I was normal and everything about me from the exterior was fine. Then I got to college, the same symptoms did not come back for about two months. One night when I was sleeping my room-mate flashed the lights really quickly when I was sleeping. Then several minutes later I experienced the same sensation I did when I was driving across country, this time only worse. I kept staring into the distance to try and control my thoughts. Then I got up and the trembling started all over my body but I could still walk and speak. I could only form small sentences however and I could not answer my room-mate properly. I was panicking but I never lost consciousness. After that night I became extremely alert and worried. The last time I had a seizure was when I was really small and my mom says it was because I had a high fever. At the time I thought I was just sitting too long from all that driving and I thought all the change from coming to college was causing me stress so I did not pay enough attention. My friend's mother is a nurse so I followed my friend to see her. She told me she had no idea and told me I should seek help. I did not because after that night it stopped completely for a while and I learned how to control my weird sensations in the head afterward when I do get smaller versions of the attack. It has been a year since the first event happened and right now those small sensations are coming back. Not as often as when I went to college but I am extremely worried this might be something serious. I do not get headaches....but this morning I started noticing subtle sharp pains on the right side of my head. they are like bolts of pain but very small and happened very little this morning. probably once every thirty minutes. They were gone after I woke up about an hour later. Right now my head feels heavy, maybe its psychological but I am terrified. I do not have an appetite which is unusual. I am not hungry because I feel a very slight nausea. I feel pressure in the back of my head. My neck is sore because I fell off a Banana Boat before the dizziness and slight nausea happened. I have read all over the internet and they are only making me even more worried. Before the banana boat fall I was perfectly fine but I started experiencing dizziness afterward. I went banana boating sunday, right now it is thursday. its still here. the lack of appetite is making my mother worried. I am going to Japan to see my father. I will arrange for an MRI scan of my head. Hopefully its nothing serious. can a whiplash cause such nausea and lack of appetite for days? Since the partial seizures started from a year back, even if its a brain tumor, should it be benign? I do not know. I am trying not to freak out but this is making me worried.
    Slight dizziness and nausea no headache but slight pressure in the back of the head?
    its normal to freak out when you experience things in your body that are not usual. Based on your story, you are heading for the right decision to take steps to have a comprehensive check up. They are several things that you might be suffering from ( like a high blood pressure, a head injury or a seizure). Fortunately, all of them can be treated as long as you are compliant with what the doctors ask you to do. Dude, be brave to have a comprehensive physical exam and tests. The doctor will base the diagnosis on these. And you'll know for sure what is happening .

  • Dying my hair from strawberry blonde/orange too dark/light brown.?

    Well, everyone thinks im cute, but i'm called a 'daywalker' alot, and it's annoying. Along with the fact my hair takes forever to do and i'm a guy. This is what i look like (If i change my hair im going to get rid of my acne, and the bags under my eyes, and my skin isnt really like that, the lighting and camera are horrible though, i will also try to make my head less round, cause it's like that cause im a little over weight, but im losing it, so meh.) : http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/6775/kh鈥?/a>





    And this is what i want to make it look like : http://hairstylesdesign.com/gallery/phot鈥?/a> ( I might make it abit of a lighter brown)



    Or like this, if you think that'd be horrible on me : http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/7559/defa鈥?/a>



    So, do you think either would work? And how much do you think it'd cost to do either?..
    Dying my hair from strawberry blonde/orange too dark/light brown.?
    I think the first one would look great on you! I love the color.



    Im guessing it would cost around $50-$60 dollars for the cut and color.

    That's how much it would cost in Arizona.. so it might be different where ever you live.

    Id just take the picture to a local salon, and they'll give you an exact price.

    Is my story good? Should I change anything? Comments and critiques much appreciated! :D ?

    CHAPTER ONE

    I was aware that I was on my back, sprawled out like a bug, and my head ached like hell. Groaning, I propped myself up on my hands; I felt fake grass underneath. I pulled my knees up to my chest and lay my head between them, rubbing my temples. I finally reopened my eyes.

    It was like being in some freaky dream. There were no walls as far as I could see, which wasn鈥檛 far, considering all I could see was darkness. It was the strangest thing. There was a light a few steps away from me, which I looked up at-the light hurt my eyes it was so bright-and found it came from a flat light bulb. I couldn鈥檛 see the sides or back of it; it was like the bulb was floating in space, pointing directly at me. It lit up a little circle of area around me, and I was indeed on fake green grass. I stood up, feeling fragile.

    Very few thoughts went through my head. I knew I should be worried, questioning why I was there, what this place was, how to get out, how I got there; but I just couldn鈥檛 bring myself to hold any thought too securely. I kept drifting back into mental silence, a dream-like state. Maybe it was a dream, I decided, and for the moment my worries ceased. So I stood there, motionless for a moment or two.

    It was then that I realized how silent it truly was.

    I wasn鈥檛 breathing.

    A bolt of shock flashed through me and I desperately tried to inhale. Nothing happened. I looked down at my torso, and had I been able, I would have screamed. There was dry blood all over me. I frantically clawed my shirt up and saw three bullet holes. I realized there was no pain, but I was not about to touch them. I felt my back, my hands shaking uncontrollably, and snatched my hand back away when I felt that the holes went all the way through. My eyes hurt because I couldn鈥檛 cry, but I still tried to, tried to scream. I was shaking all over, and pulled my jeans up as far as I could get them. I found no comfort in my chest being the only wound I held out my arms, felt through my hair, ran my hands down my neck, checked everything in a hysterical, silent, blur. I was bruised all over.

    I fell to my knees, flailing my arms around, hitting the ground, helpless to the situation. It was torture not to be able to scream, cry, or even try to calm myself with deep breathing. I put my hands over my eyes, unable to stop my entire body from twitching with fear and shock. This couldn鈥檛 be real.

    How was I still alive? A horrible thought kept trying to claw its way into my head but I wouldn鈥檛 let it in. Wouldn鈥檛 let myself think it.

    When did this happen? I couldn鈥檛 have been shot. When was I shot? I wasn鈥檛. But I had the wounds. Are they even real? I paused. I clung to that question in my head. Held it tight, for all hope.

    They weren鈥檛 real. I was trying to convince myself. They didn鈥檛 hurt so it wasn鈥檛 real. I鈥檓 not breathing. How am I not breathing! Of course I鈥檓 breathing.

    I鈥檓 not breathing. My heart is not beating.

    I swallowed. Thank god.

    I can鈥檛 swallow if I鈥檓鈥 wouldn鈥檛 let the thought in. I tried to swallow again. Nothing happened. No! I tried again. I had no more spit.

    I took my hands off my eyes and looked at my shirt again. I sent another wave of fear through me. I bent forward, testing myself. There was no pain.

    I rubbed my eyes. They sill hurt. If I wasn鈥檛 producing saliva I wouldn鈥檛 be producing more tears. I鈥檇 have to keep that in mind. Close my eyes whenever I remembered. Keep them moist.

    What was I thinking? I鈥檓 alive. I鈥檓 alive. I looked at my shirt again, this time trying to see it as fake blood. It looked really real. Like a scary movie. And it was a white shirt, so my blood-the fake blood, I corrected myself-stood out. My whole body shivered. My leg wouldn鈥檛 stop twitching. But I was still clinging to the only hope I could think of. This was a cruel joke. Of course I鈥檓 alive. Of course I鈥檓 breathing, producing saliva and tears. Of course this wasn鈥檛 my blood. I didn鈥檛 even remember getting shot.

    I held my shirt out so I could see through the three holes. It didn鈥檛 look like someone cut them out with scissors.

    I didn鈥檛 remember this happening. I stopped short.

    I didn鈥檛 remember anything. Absolutely nothing, before today. Was it day? I rubbed my eyes again. I think they were getting dry. My head was still throbbing. I desperately wished I was dreaming. My back ached, too. This wasn鈥檛 a dream.

    It was a horrifying, horrifying reality. And then the thought found a way in. I didn鈥檛 want it to, but it did.

    I am dead.

    I started screaming again, though nothing came out. My thoughts were incoherent. I stood violently and staggered towards the light. It stayed the same distance from me. I ran at it. I jumped. I am dead.

    I don鈥檛 know how long passed until I became calm. Very, very calm, sitting on my shins, my hands folded, head drooped.

    I felt numb. I wondered if this was what being in a state of shock was like.

    My life didn鈥檛 flash before my eyes. I couldn鈥檛 remember anything from it. Maybe that

    %26quot;There were no walls as far as I could see, which wasn鈥檛 far, considering all I could see was darkness. It was the strangest thing. There was a light a few steps away from me, which I looked up at-the light hurt my eyes it was so bright-and found it came from a flat light bulb. %26quot;



    I would change this part to

    %26quot;There were no walls as far as I could see; darkness surrounded me. It was the strangest thing. There was a light a few steps away, and when I peered up at it my eyes burned from its intensity. Where was this light coming from?%26quot;



    I would also take out the last sentences %26quot;Enough questions. My head hurts.%26quot; I like the ending in the sense that she still had unanswered questions. Those last two sentences did not seem to flow evenly like the rest of the chapter did.



    Other than that I think it is a great start! I can't wait to read more about it
    Is my story good? Should I change anything? Comments and critiques much appreciated! :D ?
    huh
    It was great. Too bad for the end being cut off.
    Indent the lParagraphs. and the sentences dont go well with eachother

    1/5
    pretty good and very descriptive i would read the rest if i could


    good job! i like it.

    lots of details which allowed me to imagine the scenery.

    but i think that u should change one thing though... instead of writing %26quot;fake grass%26quot;, u should use the word %26quot;turf%26quot; instead (turf is fake grass). haha it makes u sound smarter. jk.

    happy writing!

    Why would my head gasket blow?

    I have a 2006 bmw 325i and have replaced 4 of the 6 engine coils. About 2 weeks ago I noticed at start up that the car idled rough for about 3-5 seconds then was fine. No service engine light. I assumed that one of the older coils was going out. Just last week on start up, the car idled hard and stayed there. Now the engine light came on. I took it the my machanic and he ran a diagnostic test. He said it showed #3 was out. When he went to replace it he said nothing happened. He said that both the #3 %26amp; #4 were out-- although the diagnostic test didn't show this. He said that there was oil in the engine coil compartment and that both were %26quot;dead holes.%26quot; He said that i have a blown head gasket and he thinks a potentially crack head of which will cost me almost $10,000. But My car has never over heated and gets regular oil changes-- every 5000 miles. How could this be possible?
    Why would my head gasket blow?
    Time for a second opinion......
    Why would my head gasket blow?
    Definitely time for you to go somewhere else.
    I would take it to a BMW service center and let them decided since they service BMW and only BMW.
    There are various reasons for blown gaskets apart from the overheating one. A head-gasket is a precision component and when installed properly it will last the life of the engine.

    Having said that any small flaws in either the cylinder-head or the gasket itself will shorten its life, as it has to deal with very high temperatures and pressures.

    Allowing the engine to struggle at low revs in high gear for example can easily blow a gasket.

    A blown gasket could cause the bad idling you mention but the diagnostics should pick this up as the pressure would most probably be lower on the affected cylinder.

    It would be best for your peace-of-mind to take the car for a second diagnostic test.

    Iris/pupil become unresponsive to light after getting hit... will it recover?

    If the situation doesn't improve, I will probably go to see an optometrist... but I'd like to learn more right now...



    Yesterday when I was playing badminton (double), I turned my head around to look at my partner and suddenly the shuttlecock hit my right eye directly. No bleeding, but my vision was blurred.



    After a few hours, my vision has almost returned to normal. However, by using a small torch, I find that the pupil on my right eye doesn't quite respond to light. In comparison, I can see how the pupil in my healthy left eye changes in size.



    Has anyone had similar experience? I want to know is it going to recover automatically... or is there something very bad going on... Thanks!
    Iris/pupil become unresponsive to light after getting hit... will it recover?
    i would call an ophthalmologist, not ur optometrist. your dilator or sphincter muscles could be damaged, they are responsible for opening %26amp; closing the pupil. it may recover, but either way, even if it does, it's not a bad idea to have it checked out.
    Iris/pupil become unresponsive to light after getting hit... will it recover?
    no
    my dad was hit in the eye with a bebe gun, it made him blind but it was the bullet so i think it did more damage than it did to you. I would soak it in warm water or take a warm bath for a few minutes. But I would HIGHLY recommend going to the doctor! If you feel as if you will be ok then do as I suggested earlier. but also avoid touch or rubbing your with your hand (or foot if you are weird) Also this kind of thing CAN cause vision problems!
    I have a friend at school who was hit in exactly the same way, and he recovered fine after about two days, but he also went to the doctor to though, and he did have some cornea damage.



    I suggest going to the doctor.

    How can i re-light the flame in my relationship ?

    Ok, so was with my girlfriend for nearly 2 years and we broke up. She became unhappy because i never too her out we sat in watching tv and didnt really do anything else. She also did the work for our relationship and i didnt do anything. I was that comfortable that i didnt notice what i was doing. We got back togeather about 5 months ago after being a year apart and i promised her i would change. But we got back to our old routines again. a couple of nights ago we had an argument which led to her ending it with me. i said some bad things : %26quot;I want something new%26quot;. I really didnt mean it, it just came out. I didnt show her enough effection, i didnt show i love her and i didnt take her out. I was always shy being with her if i was with my friends. I have realised my mistakes but too late. a day after our beak up she came round my house and said i had one last chance, when we started talking, she changed her mind and said the flame had gone. It upset me that she changed her mind, got my hopes up and dropped them again. I promised her i would change and she said she believed me, her heart was telling her to give me one more chance but her head was telling her not too, because she always got hurt if she went with her heart. I honestly have changed this time, ive text her loads, to come out with me, to the fair. It is my birthday on october 8th, my 18th. I want her to be there with my family (she is very close with my mum, like friends) its not going to be the same without her, and she'll be in my head all the time, ruining it for me. I also text her, saying i would take her to paris after my birthday, for a weekend. When we were togeather, she said she was going to take me to paris, but i said no, i didnt want to go. I dont know why i did but i did, i wish i didnt, it would have been great. The night of our argument when i had taken her home, she rang me and said there wwas a party on saturday night, asked if wanted to go, and i still said no. I regret saying no and all of those bad things but she just wont seem to listen anymore. I love her and want to prove to her im going to change for the best. Please help me re spark up my relationship, she means so much to me and i cant watch her slip away again.



    Ps. When i was pouring my heart out to her the other night on MSN, she told me to stop being stupid and to get over it. :(
    How can i re-light the flame in my relationship ?
    Awe, I feel so bad :( I really don't know what to say. Maybe she wants to give you another chance, but she is just confused. Maybe some more time for her will do but I hope things work out for you and I wish the best!


    How can i re-light the flame in my relationship ?
    she gave you another chance and you did the same thing. What makes you think you would change? I don't blame her I wouldn't give you another chance either. Just get over her and move on and try to not make these same mistakes with the next one.
    your going to have to be commited to her

    and take her out more often

    i understand where shes coming from

    and shes given you so many chances

    but you've blown them try not too

    and go out for a change

    even if its out too dinner, or out to the movies for the night

    instead of being at home



    it'll help and hopefully she'll love you for it

    dont go back to your old routines

    it will just ruin it again

    and you may never get that chance again
    love is unconditional....it really dosent need ur bf taking u out all the time,,,,ya offcourse u want 2 go out n see places bla bla...bt this is no way..,u have also been wrg...show her tht u care... 4 ard 5 more days n all...if its true love she will respond back if nt today tomo...if she dosent just leave it...believe IF THINGS HAVE 2 HAPPEN IT WILL... leave it om destiny then....IF U LOVE SOME1 SET HIM FREE IF HE COMES BACK HE IS URS IF HE DOSENT HE NEVER WAS.
    You poor so and so. And you claim to have %26quot;realized your mistakes too late?%26quot; Which of the 100麓s of mistakes have you realised?
    ha sounds like my old relationship! lol but i stop that at once i know a few of these things sounded lame but it's fun! in the warmer weather try camping in the back yard or even in the living room! go to putt putt golf, have a picnic, a water fight, just do things you would do in the first few months of the relationship...have fun it does not hav to cost money, u don't have to go far. play board games! and well in the bed room..i'll leave that up to u..haha i don't share! i know it sounds odd comming from a chick but my guy loved camping in the back yard and putt putt and all those stupid things but u have to put effort into what ur doing!

    Personally i wouldn't risk it. Go to a reputable salon. Bleached hair is more porous than normal hair and can cause problems when dying.

    DONT DO IT!!!!!!

    My hair turned green!!

    Best to ask, or get dyed by a professional!!
    I've done the same thing in the past with bad results all three times. My hair naturally is a very light brown and I tried to touch up my roots with box dye, bad idea. It turned my roots orange! Another time i tried doing my whole head.. it turned the already bleached parts a musty green color. Not pretty.
    Previously when I had my hair bleached blonde, hair dye had no effect on it. Generally speaking you can use hair dye to lighten hair, but not darken it. Wait till the colour has grown out, then dye it again.

    What tense is this story in?

    Muffled voices spoke in hushed tones, I knew they were talking about me but was too sleepy to care. I let the darkness wash over me, beautiful sleep was so close…

    “Emily,” a loud voice interrupted, “can you squeeze my fingers?”

    “Yes,” I thought, “How hard can it be?” But nothing happened, it was like my hands were not joined to my body. It felt strange; perhaps I should be worried. Surely this wasn’t normal! Feeling the warm arms of unconsciousness wrapping around me the voices disappeared and any worries faded away.



    I spun around at the sound, knocking the blue boxes off the shelf in front of me. It was just kids playing in the next aisle. “Calm down,” I thought to myself, looking down at my trembling hands. I picked up the plastic wrapped boxes one by one. Grabbing a handful, I headed to the closest checkout, pulling my hood over my head.

    “Just these,” I said to the bored looking employee.

    “$21.50,” she answered, her tone matching her solemn expression.

    Pushing the notes into her hand I just wanted to get back to the safety of my car, away from all these people.

    “Thanks,” I muttered shoving the three boxes and change into my pockets. Head down, I made my way through the crowded store and slumped into my seat. My hand made its way to the lock, the familiar click slowed my racing heart, I was safe from the prying eyes.



    I was woken by a blinding light, I tried to move away but something held me in place. I tried to scream at whoever was leaning over me, but nothing came out. Eyes, slowly adjusting to the light I looked around, my mum, older brother and four others in white uniforms were beside me with expressions of sadness and fear on their faces. I focussed on my beautiful mother’s face, stained with tears. Feeling scared, I wanted to know why she was crying. I looked to my brother for answers but his face was devoid of any emotion, it scared me even more. Then the doctor spoke.

    “Look, there’s no easy way to say this, I don’t think there is any chance of a full recovery. Emily has sustained significant brain damage.” I saw my mother collapse to the floor and felt my eyes drooping again. I tried to fight the darkness this time, I wanted to scream out to mum, tell her I’m awake and ease her pain. It was too late…



    Everything was ready, I looked around my room, taking in all the small details I would miss, the pillow that nearly caught fire, the patch on the carpet where my brother had spilled the beer we stole. I wiped the tears from my cheek, I propped the envelope up on my freshly made bed. I tore the shiny wrapping off the first box.....................







    It was written to be in present tense with flashbacks in past tense, but it seems to read as all in present tense... help? thanks
    What tense is this story in?
    It's in past tense. All you have to do is change the bits that are in past tense but aren't meant to be into present tense ie, Muffled voices SPEAK in hushed tones, i KNOW they are talking about me, but I'm to sleepy to care. I let the darkness wash over me, beautiful sleep IS so close...

    “Emily,” a loud voice INTERRUPTS, “can you squeeze my fingers?”

    “Yes,” I THINK, “How hard can it be?” But nothing HAPPENS, IT'S like my hands ARE not joined to my body. It FEELS strange; perhaps I should be worried. Surely this ISN'T normal! Feeling the warm arms of unconsciousness wrapping around me the voices DISAPPEAR and any worries FADE away.



    hope i helped!



    by the way, it's really good so far. I wish I could have found out what was in the blue boxes :)
    What tense is this story in?
    first person
    It's entirely in past tense, I think you're a bit confused.



    Past tense would be: %26quot;I looked about the room, then turned my gaze towards the window.%26quot;

    Present tense would be: %26quot;I look about the room, then turn my gaze towards the window.%26quot;
    no no, its good

    the flashbacks should be in present tense aswell, because you were writing them as if you were reliving them

    in the story i guess you might put them in italics to show that they're flashbacks and not the story getting muddled up

    good story though, i like how the flashbacks are kind of filling in the gaps
    did you write this????



    i think that writing and reading something in the present tense can sometimes be a little tiring and confusing.

    like, if it were present tense, it'd go:

    %26quot;Muffled voices speak in hushed tones, I know they are talking about me but I'm too sleepy to care. I let the darkness wash over me, beautiful sleep is so close…

    “Emily,” a loud voice interrupts, “can you squeeze my fingers?”

    “Yes,” I think, “How hard can it be?” But nothing happens, it's like my hands are not joined to my body. It feels strange; perhaps I should be worried. Surely this isn’t normal! Feeling the warm arms of unconsciousness wrapping around me, the voices disappear and any worries fade away.%26quot;



    %26quot;I am woken by a blinding light, I try to move away but something holds me in place. I try to scream at whoever is leaning over me, but nothing comes out.%26quot;



    kind of funny to read in some places and it might be hard to make it sound good for an entire book



    but the story reads well as it is, it makes sense i think

    i really like it =]

    Bleed the motorist



    Bleak times make me question why?

    England stands built upon a lie,

    To be white and English what does it mean?

    Just pay taxes shut up don鈥檛 be seen.



    Stealth taxes throughout England put in place,

    No document married for they would leave a trace,

    Expect a warrant on your head if you change abode,

    Wheels set in motion retrieving monies owed.



    Be treat like a criminal a price upon your head,

    Manipulated by tyrants who want us chipped and lead,

    How do we move forward when English law not fair?

    Caring not for people! Only target鈥檚 which are there.



    For on the roads built for speed and cars that go so fast,

    The only laws broken belong well in the past,

    Vehicles designed to entrap us are mobile throughout the land,

    Figures in our courts wants 1000鈥檚 motorist band.



    Now we wait at traffic lights rigged to make us late,

    Stressed, tired and angry did you take the bait,

    Parking neither easy with stealth tax all around,

    Traffic wardens with quotas by machines they are found.



    So we see difficult times for man and car!

    Constraints that tie government make law,

    Falkland stored oil would supply us for years,

    Dig deep in pocket for now you shed the tears.

    Being American, some of the words are strange to me, but I understand the feeling, you see. Our oil companies are crying the blues about the high price of crude oil while during the 1st quarter of 2008, all companies combined made a gross PROFIT of $218 BILLION DOLLARS. Added to that insult is the fact that our oil is being exported to the Far East.

    The average citizen, like you and me, cannot dig any deeper in the pocket, as we have hit bottom. It is the greed of the big corporations that is pushing the US hellbent into a recession.

    Added to that is the fact the presidential candidates spout political rhetoric, but have done nothing to help the economic situation. God help us come November.
