Hi, to escape the cold New York I went down to Florida for a week and though it wasn't to warm I did get a good amount of sun. My face got a little red but no burning and the rest of me was fine but I noticed this morning a red rash with small bumps all along the back of my hand. I'm currently on Accutane so my skin is extremely dry and last night I put on moisturizer which only aggravated my skin more (mainly my face but it was on the hand). The rash is mainly on one hand but I also have red spots with very dry skin in other places. Is this sun poisoning? What can I do to treat this and how can I avoid it?

I've had braced for four and a half years and I have a fairly gummy smile. I know one of my friends had his gums shaped when they took his braces off but I didn't know if that was regular practice or something special they did for him. How do they shape my gums and how should I get them ready?

Wherever my cursor is located on the screen when I click it clicks whatever is a quarter inch left. I can't click my scroll bar and everything is impossible to click without messing up once. This happened once before and I'd like to know what's wrong with my mouse and how to fix this.

Now do ya?!

I'm baking a cake from scratch (wish me luck) and I'm going to substitute oil for shortening. Can I actually do that? I only found a few forums saying so. The instructions say to cream sugar and shortening. What do I do if I use oil again? I'm doubting I can cream the 2 so should I just mix them?

And help and links welcome!

I have this roller-coaster set made out of k-nex. Which are like Legos in a sense. And I've tried building it 3 times and always gave up cause it didn't make sense. SO. SHOULD I DO IT?

So, on Thursday I went to a water park and slapped on some sun screen around 10:30. I never reapplied and spent the whole day in the sun. One arm got burned a bit the other one picked up some reddish color. Not bad though. My torso is just as pale as when I started. I mean, wearing SPF 30 for 6 hours going on water rides and not even a burn. I'm a little weirded out by this. My arms reacted a bit but, I feel like this isn't normal.

Oh wait. I'm Irish.

SO, tomorrow is July 1st. Which is A) CANADA DAY B) One person's sweet sixteen C) ANOTHER person's sweet sixteen and D) MY sixteenth birthday. WHAT DO I CELEBRATE.

Hi, I was listening to someone talk about Jane Austen and she called her a satirist. She brought up the the movie Pride and Prejudice was bad because it didn't portray the book as mocking society and social standards. Her view was that Austen wrote the novel to poke fun and a mock society. My friend completely disagrees and won't accept that view. She believes its a foolish claim unless you think every work of Austen in satire.

So, people who have read the book, is it a satire? or is my friend right?

I've decided to attempt making cookies from scratch with a recipe I found online. The only issue is one of the directions calls for beating in individual eggs and then vanilla. How do I do that? Is it simply cracking an egg in and mixing it in then another one, and another one? Or is there some skill required?

It's Banned Books Week!! For those of you unaware of this great time of year it's an event promoted by the ALA (American Library Association) and it supports people to go to their library and well, ban banning books!! Personally this is such a great holiday for me as I get to get a nice long list of new books to read. I plan on reading The Catcher and the Rye and Farenheit 451. So how will will embrace this glorious event?

Hi! Today is my -disregard my profile- 2 year yahoo! Answers anniversary. It's weird thinking 2 years about only Level 4 reached, but I should hit level 5 by this month so no worries there. I can remember starting off here and trying to find my niche and then finding another one.. and another one.. and finding one yesterday. I also remember the old layout, and all the friends I've made. So anyone else an old -well, older- answerer like me?

Well today -disregard my profile's date it changes every other week- is my 2 year Yahoo! Answers anniversary. Saying that and seeing only Level 4 makes me kind of sad. But, it was all the WONDERFUL pals on Yahoo! Answers that got me back into it over the summer. I've had weeks of 1,000 points and months of 0 points. I hope to get to Level 5 this month. But, for right now HOW DO I CELEBRATE?!

I have the Glyde and want to remove the battery and this cover won't budge. It's fallen off before but, now that I need it off it is stuck!! I pried it off once but, I know there has to be an easier way. And help is deeply appreciated. Thanks!

I was watching the Olympics and my brother and I made observations on each sport's body types. The swimmers were all tall and the gymnasts all shorter. Then he mentioned that Michael Phelps has shorter legs and a very long torso which is apparently extremely helpful. I noticed this on Michael; but, what about someone's body would make them a good swimmer in the sense of their body proportions. Legs, arms, torso, etc.

I really like writing and I've put together from you helpful answerers characters are crucial to learn about. Everything about them is important so, I'm wondering how do you go about doing this? I've heard of silly methods like a casting call or and audition but, I wanna hear how other writers go through this. How do I make my character come to life in my eyes?Tips, tricks, and links are appreciated and thanks!

I went on Books and Authors and the newest questions all said one hour old with no answers for any of them. Which makes no sense. I checked a few categories with the same result except there were plenty of answers and the questions did look very old.. anyone else experiencing something similar?

Thanks.

Hey guys, my brother about a week ago help move some stuff for my grandma and got a nice big bruise on his right arm around the elbow. It's fairly big and it seemed normal till today when he found a lump on it. It's white in color and he has reason to believe its filled with something not so good. He asked if I could help him out and here I am so if you have any thoughts let me know.

Thanks! (P.S. I might be able to get a photo up.)

I could've sworn she was described as a year older than Harry in POA. But, I got the feeling later they were of equal age and the movies make me think she's a year younger!! I lost POA some years ago so I can't go check it. Help!!

Thanks.

So here I am on Long Island baking in this heat wave. And I'm wondering they've been calling it a heat wave since Saturday when this all started. So is there a real time frame for a heat wave? Does it need to last a certain amount of time or just be a certain temperature? I always thought they were much longer.
