The otter box is an awesome phone case. My buddy has one for his iPhone and you can basically toss the phone onto a slate floor without worry. It's tough as hell. He's really hard on everything that he owns and so it was definitely a good investment for him. If you drop your phone a good amount, look into one.
I've heard taking antibiotics weakens your immune system or something. And, I hate taking medicine if I don't have to. If you get a sinus infection, is there an alternative to taking an antibiotic? And, will it ever just run it's course, or will it only get worse / never go away?
I think I know the text book answer to this, but hopefully some poly sci majors can rationalize it- How are special interests constitutional? How is it not legalized bribery, and if not, what's the difference?
Anyone have a jet ski trailer they are wanting to sell? I came across a good deal and purchased a 2006 Yamaha GP 1300R but the guy has it dry docked and the trailer was stolen.
If it's a viral infection, antibiotics won't do anything. Every doctor I've ever gone to has told me to just let a sickness run its course if it's viral. Anti-viral meds are only used if it's a SERIOUS viral infection. If it's a bacterial infection, antibiotics can wipe it out quick. Sometimes if you get a viral infection, it will weaken your immune system enough that a bacterial infection will move in as well. Taking antibiotics doesn't weaken your immune system. What usually happens is that somebody starts taking antibiotics for a bacterial infection, gets their sickness 99% wiped out, and decides that since they feel better, they don't need to keep taking the antibiotics. Guess what, that 1% of the bacteria that survived the antibiotics? They survived because they're the strongest, nastiest, most drug-resistant bacteria you grew. Now, those bacteria are the ones reproducing in your body, and once they take hold again, it will be even tougher to get rid of them. ALWAYS take the full course of antibiotics the doctor prescribes, even if you don't feel sick any more.
Yep, what he said. To add more to the antibiotics thing weakening your immune system, antibiotics are also generally not super selective, so they also wipe out the natural flora (your bodies good bacteria) so there can be some things that arise from this (yeast infections, diarrhea, and less commonly C. Difficile, etc) And we obviously can't accurately diagnose you over the internet, but to have any inkling if you were going to get better without the antibiotic (i.e. with a viral illness) we would have to know what is wrong with you and what antibiotic you got for what duration.
Some little squirrel fuckers have decided my roof would be an ideal place to make a nest. And now, all their little fucker friends have decided to come and make noise at all hours of the day and night, not to mention damage and chew things. Help. I'm not about to trap and release these little bastards so setting a trap is out. I found a recipe for squirrel eliminator that was flour, sugar and baking powder. PETA be damned, but squirrels are fuckers and need to be eliminated. Anyone else have any ideas?
You have 24 hours to redo that post using proper spelling, punctuation, case sensitivity, and no short forms, or you're taking a vacation. Based on that post alone I'd say you should shoot for a hot dog stand instead.
I'm trying to put more effort into buying clothing made in the USA or at the very least, from countries with more acceptable labor standards. Is there a website listing countries that are (or aren't) in agreement with western labor standards?
I'm thinking about seeing a concert at the Fox Theatre in St. Louis. Can anyone tell me about the view from the side of mezzanine and the center of the lower balcony? The rear orchestra (lower level) is also a consideration, but our kids will be with us (8,13,15) so I think they would be able to see better from the upper level.
Alright, so I have a rather long essay due tomorrow that I haven't really started and I've been missing this music class so that I can get a sweet recommendation when I leave college from one of my other professors. How many of you ingrates know anything about Beethoven? Here's the question: Spoiler Beethoven has often been uplifted as a model of the emerging Romantic artist during the early 19th century. Central to this vision of Beethoven are his development of artistic freedom, his expansion of musical materials to embrace the human condition and the heroic, and taking these two together, his larger republican idealism. During his early years as a composer in Bonn and in Vienna (up to 1802) Beethoven’s surroundings and his skills developed in such a way as to give him the tools and character to eventually take music and the Romantic arts to a place that propagated such lofty and noble ideas of the artist. But how did this happen? Who was he composing for? What were his models of music, and of the hero? What types of music and musical language was he exposed to? How do the structural characteristics and expressive capability of the sonata cycle, and the instruments of the day, fit into these ideas? Use specific works to demonstrate your points. I'm not asking you to write my paper or anything, but if you know anything about him in regards to the question, shoot me a PM. If you're really helpful, I'll throw my life in the attempt at inventing a way to give blowjobs across the internet, after which you will be the first recipient.
I'm writing an essay for my into to Kinesiology class on headshots in the NHL. Ya, I know, they enacted a rule last week, but I started this essay a little while ago, so suck it. Anyways, I've found an journal article that I think might help me, however my school library can't access. It's from the British Journal of Sports Medicine. This is the article: 'Concussion sans frontieres' If anyone can download this journal article and e-mail me it, or copy and paste the text into a PM, or even find me an account and password so I can access it on my computer, I will forever be in your debt.
Does anybody know the names of the main commercial and residential real estate firms in New York City?
Anybody have experience dealing with skunks? There is one currently in the backyard. It is midday, the skunk isn't moving around much, and barely acknowledged the dog (whose barking alerted me to what's up). I threw some baseballs and basketballs at it to scare it off, but that didn't do much. I think the skunk is getting near the end and believe that waiting for it to die is the best way to go, but I could be wrong. Anybody have ideas? I don't own a gun of any kind, so that option is out.
I am not an expert on Skunks, but here's what I know: Skunks are nocturnal; out in daylight is odd. Wild animals should be running from domesticated dogs or humans throwing things. That skunk is acting very unusual, which could indicate rabies. Contact animal control, and let them handle it. Uh, unless you're growing weed in your back yard, and you don't want the authorities to come by. Then, you should call your crazy friend that you KNOW has a gun, and tell them to come over and shoot the thing. Then, strap it to a catapult and fling it into your neighbor's yard.
This is pretty much true. Skunks will roam some during the daytime, but not much unless they just got forced out of their habitat (think farmers plowing up a field & destroying their home). Definitely contact animal control as this is *not* normal behavior. If it starts to get too close to the house, grab a hose & spray it (they hate water), but make sure you stand upwind when you do that.
Don't get close enough to shoot it anyway. Do what ROM said and call animal control. Don't let anything or anyone near it. It's too risky. I let my giant Shepherd out one night, she beelined for the movement she saw which was a skunk. In the process of grabbing it and slamming it into the ground a couple times killing it, she of course got sprayed. It was the fucking worst thing ever. They say tomato juice is one thing that dilutes the smell. All I had was Ragu. I stood in the tub with 130lbs of pissed off dog, covered in spaghetti sauce. It was everywhere. By the time I'd completed the process, twice if I remember correctly, the bathroom looked like a murder scene with the sauce dripping down the walls, it was even on the ceiling. Bad, bad times. It worked but not well enough. For months everytime she'd get wet she'd smell like skunk.
