Never mind, I managed to take it apart and get the cloth out. Not sure if I did it correctly, but it worked!

I just turned on my garbage disposal and heard a "click" and realized that a dishcloth had slipped down the drain. Only the corner of it is wedged in there, but it is stuck fast- definitely can't be...

It is confusing to just delay periods, but insurance will only pay for a certain number of pills per year, so if I skip them altogether, I end up running out of active pills way before the...

It really depends on what state you are in and what type of counseling you want to be in (social work, licensed professional counselor, etc.). Most states (if not all) require a criminal background...

Could be an ingrown hair or a sebaceous cyst. You could always check with your doctor to make sure it isn't an STI or something else to be concerned about.

I have been taking Apri (generic Desogen, a monophasic pill) for about a year (before that I took ortho-cyclen for a few years). I have a tendency to skip placebos to delay my period (I don't...

Well I am not a doctor, but maybe a lot of this irregularity you are having is related to you taking birth control only sporadically. If you aren't taking it every day, that could be a reason for...

I have several old license plates and am not sure what to do with them. One of them is a plate that is no longer in use (ie the state switched to different plates) but the other two are still the...

I know at your age it may be tough to talk to and trust adults, and you are more likely to want to trust your friends. However, this is something you need to talk to an adult about, because they are...

Originally posted this in the Middle School section, and am following up on a suggestion to post it in this section too, so here it is!

This is a great book that I recommend to a lot of my...

I am moving into a new apartment and the toilet isn't working properly- it won't flush unless you take the top off the tank, reach in, and push down on the cylinder that is in there, which causes the...

Well, that was easy! I just thought "what is the most unscrupulous place I know?" and the answer was obvious: Wal-Mart! Sure enough, it was a piece of cake!

I am moving into a condo (so the unit is owned by one person, and a management company handles the building and grounds) and I would like to have a set of spare keys made. I live alone and would...

This is a great book that I recommend to a lot of my students- it has a lot of good information about starting middle school, friendships, boyfriends/girldfriends, parents, and a lot more. So since...

I am a middle school counselor, and in the school where I work, we usually pair new students up with someone to take them around, introduce them to people, etc. Generally this is someone who has the...

Is the landlord aware that you moved in as a replacement for the old tenant? Do they have a copy of the lease with your initials or your signature on it? Who told you that you need to give 20 days...

I found out some information about this marking, in case anyone else is looking for similar information:

The mark means that the plate is from prior to 1891, and the stamp was applied later to...

The quality at IKEA is generally pretty good, though it really depends on what you buy. Their furniture ranges from pretty basic to fairly high-end, so the more you pay, the better the quality will...

I have a china plate (saucer sized, but w/out indentation where teacup would go, so maybe a small luncheon plate?) that is white with gold trim around the edges and a ring of pink roses. On the...

Will the paint stick properly if I don't sand or prime it first?

I have a wood shelf that I would like to re-paint, but I am not sure exactly how to go about it. I was planning to sand it first (there are several layers of paint on it right now)- is there a...

Yes, you did use my quotes, however you followed them with responses like "huh!?" and "oh, and", which implies that you are challenging what I originally said and it comes across as being really...

Um, I AM arranging counseling- I never said I wasn't. Thanks for the accusatory and nasty tone, though- that really helps things.

You can have a UTI and not necessarily be sexually active, so even if you tell your parents, it doesn't mean they are going to automatically assume you are having sex. Regardless, you really do need...

Believe me, I am not trying to rationalize, here. I know the situation is not good and that it is only a matter of time before I am feeling down again. It is just that it's difficult to explain...

I am a little confused by your question, but if you do indeed take the morning after pill within 72 hours of unprotected sex (the sooner, the better), remember that it is a high dose of hormones, so...

You asked a previous question about contraception- are you talking about birth control pills or the morning after pill (emergency contraceptive)?

I agree with the previous posts- you have described some very typical behaviors for someone who has schizophrenia. I have worked with people with schizophrenia, and while it is a difficult thing to...

Okay I guess I didn't clarify in my original post- the way my workplace is, I am the only counselor/mental health provider there, so my colleagues are not necessarily going to get where I am coming...

Didn't your doctor explain to you how to use birth control pills when he/she prescribed them for you?
Depending on the type of pill, you need to start taking them on a certain day (generally the...

I am not sure if this is the correct place to ask this question, but it doesn't seem to fit in any other category. In my apartment, I am discovering that there is moisture coming in through the...

I work in the mental health field, and spend all day counseling kids, talking them out of suicide, recommending long-term counseling, etc. and I get lots of praise from my bosses and co-workers, and...

I agree- this is a great site! It has a lot of product ratings and you can talk to other people and get ideas. From this site you can also buy a fantastic benzol peroxide gel that is not available...

I don't think that is necessarily true. People grieve in a lot of different ways- some people talk about their loss very easily and openly and for others it takes a LONG time (even years) before...

Okay there are several issues here:
1. Her age- yes, some 19 year olds can be mature and capable of real adult relationships, but most aren't. Sounds more like she has been looking for someone to...

First question is how old are you guys? From your post, it sounds like you are fairly young and this is maybe one of your first relationships, so you are just kind of learning how the whole dating...

Because I don't really know the girlfriend, I don' think it is my place to get involved (for all I know, she could be a nasty person who is cheating on him, too!) and I don't know how she would take...

I know someone (casually) whose live-in boyfriend has been cheating on her for several months (as in a 7-month relationship with someone else, not just a one-time thing). I really don't know her...

So I take Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo and was reading some info about it and noticed that it said you should not take it if you are pregnant (obviously!) because it causes birth defects. So then I started...

There isn't really a "test" for Asperger's. Regardless of whether he would actually meet the diagnostic criteria or not, it sounds like he has some issues with social skills. How (or if) you should...

So my period actually started early this month (on Monday) and I started otc-lo on Tuesday morning. So far no side effects at all (but of course it has only been two days) But, usually my period...

I have a prescription for Ortho Tri-Cycen-Lo, which I will begin taking when my period begins on Saturday. However, I am getting really nervous about taking it because I keep reading about all of...

Ughh, I feel dumb even asking this, like I am 15 years old again (I'm actually 30), but it's been a long time since I've been in this situation and I am feeling uncertain here. I am not going into a...

I have lived in my apartment for a couple of months now and this is the first time this has happened. I was sitting here working and suddenly I hear a lot of loud gurgling noises coming from the...
