  • Where can I find a story of a child/family dealing with hunger?

    I have googled the question and I haven't been able to find anything. I need an emotional story about hunger in America for my speech class. My speech is obviously about hunger, I need a good, short story for my introduction. If someone could even make up a story of a little boy or girl struggling with hunger...I am not that creative. Thank you for your help!

  • How can I make my hair feel less dry/damaged?

    I have medium length, straight, thin hair and over the past few months I have noticed my ends are splitting and crippled. I also feel like my hair is really dry. When I run my fingers through my hair, I can't get past the ends without them snarling together.

    I just went and got a trim to try to get rid of the damaged ends...but the problem is still there.

    I rarely blow dry or straighten my hair. I shower, brush it and let it air dry.

    I have dyed it with box color a couple times about 4 months ago but the issue didn't start right after I dyed it.

    I have tried a split end leave in conditioner and that hasn't really helped.

    I even went through the front of my hair and looked for split or crippled ends and cut them off myself.

    Why is this happening and what can I do?

    I just want healthy, soft hair again!

    I don't even know why this started! :(

  • Should I take Math 103 or Math 105?

    I am not good with math at all. I have to take either 103 or 105 in order to apply into my major...its my last general requirement.

    103 is Contemporary Applications of Mathematics and 105 is Intermediate Algebra.

    I really have no idea which to take. I have to pass with a C. I should add that I have taken 105 twice before but only passed with a C-.

  • How to get money off of rent?

    Hi-

    My mom's friend lives in the same building as us. She is moving out the end of the month. I am considering moving in to her apartment. It is a two bedroom for $575 water included. I went over to her place just to look at it and she gave me a list of things that is wrong with the place:

    All of the windows are old and get moldy when it rains. They also let in drafts when windy. (Which will raise my heat bill in winter)

    The floor in the kitchen swells up randomly or "buckles" as she calls it.

    The tiles in the kitchen are starting to come up

    There is some mold in the kitchen under the refrigerator

    The carpeting is very old and dirty. (you can tell it hasn't been professionally cleaned in a long time)

    Some of the outlets dint work.

    There are also smoke stains from the previous renters on the ceilings.

    All of the walls are in need of paint jobs.

    She also has a problem getting hot water.

    I know you are probably wondering why the hell I would want to move there...

    Well it is the only apartment available. It is right next to my moms. I would stay at my moms but I am right now sharing a room with my 15 year old sister, my mom is pregnant (due 1/31) and I am a full time college student. I want to move so i can have my own space and quiet for school but still be close to home.

    I am wondering how to get the landlord to lower the rent. The current renter says the place is worth $400 maybe a month considering the condition. How the heck do I get him to lower the rent $175?

    Sure I can tell him all that is wrong with the place but he can just say no then I have to chose, paying the $575 or he will find someone else to rent it.

    How can I talk him down the rent?

  • Recently got into a car accident?

    I just got rear ended by another driver. She is at fault. Now I was hoping to get a check from her insurance company for the cost of damage on my vehicle. However, when I spoke to her insurance company, the woman said something about having one of their 'appraisers' come out to look at the damage and then determine where I want to get my repairs done.

    My question is, will they send me a check for the cost or will they directly pay the shop?

    I just want to know for my own knowledge.

    also is it better to have my insurance company take care of it or mine?

    the driver had Travelers insurance and I have progressive.

  • Why did my cat pee and poop in my bed!?!? PLEASE HELP!?

    I just adopted my kitten from my local humane society on saturday (july 28th). She loves to be petted and cuddled with. about 4 days after i got her i noticed she wasn't eating/drinking. I then found yellow puke on the bathroom floor (it was stomach bile, not pee) she then pooped on the bathroom floor. the next day she puked again on my bedroom floor. all the while all she wanted to do was sleep.

    i took her to the vet and they gave her an IV to cure her dehydration as well as an anti-vomiting injection. the vet also gave me a medicine that i had to give her myself through the mouth for diarrhea. once we got home i gave her the medicine and she ran under my bed right after. i noticed that she was feeling much better, acting now like a 4 month old kitten, not a 12 year old cat. Anyways, i had to fight with her to give her the medicine every time, i only gave it to her 3 times because it was so hard to get her to open her mouth without fighting with me.

    Now on saturday this week, she peed in my bed! i put her nose in it and kept saying no, then put her in by herlitter boxx where she then pooped. i washed my sheets and kept her out of my room for a day. Now this morning i let her back in my room and i found that she climbed on my bed and pooped!!! I am so angry with her and idon'tt know what to do! she knows where herlitter boxx is and uses it every other time.

    Another side note, the day that shewasn'tt allowed in my room, myroommatee let her in hers and my cat did not poop/pee in her bed. Also whenever my boyfriend orroommatee are home my cat wont come by me. My boyfriend thinks she is mad at me for giving her medicine. I'm thinking this is true but my question is how long will she be mad at me for this? Also is there any other reason she might be using my bed as alitter boxx?

    Please help I am really close to returning her to the humane society!

  • should i leave my boyfriend?

    I'm sorry, this is going to be long but I really need some advice...

    I've been with my boyfriend for almost 3.5 years. We have lived together for 2 and we have no kids. Lately we have been really rocky, always fighting or arguing and just not getting along. About a month ago he left me and went to stay with his mom for a couple nights until he decided he wanted to come back. His reasoning for leaving was that he wanted to do his own thing for a little while and didn't know if he wanted to be in a relationship anymore. He left and I was really upset but I didn't pressure him to come home, he did it on his own and I even asked him if he was sure he wanted to come back. Now a month later I'm so frustrated with him and I'm starting to wonder if I should leave him.

    I feel like he is very selfish and doesn't appreciate anything I do for him. Before he left I always bitches about him not helping me around the house and being a soon but since he came back I've been doing everything!! I pick up after him and do his laundry. He honestly does nothing but take the garbage out after I ask him a few times. Last week I bought him an expensive tool he wanted for ice fishing. He didn't even say thank you, it was $300. On top of that he has been coming and going as he pleases and doesn't care what I want.

    A few days ago we Hung out. Now I think im a pretty fun person but the whole time he looked bored and irritated. Whenever I tried to be funny he called me stupid or an idiot. Then he told me I was annoying and to stop talking to him. I was hurt because I didn't deserve to be talked to like that.

    I've been telling him I feel unappreciated and he doesn't change. I cook for him clean for him and do everything a girlfriend should do for throttle boyfriend and I get nothing in return.

    I live him so much and the thought of loosing him kills me, but do I deserve to live like this the rest of my life?

    Additions: I am 20 and he is 21. I am in school fulltime and work part time while he just works full time. Also whenever I bring up marriage or having a baby he gets mad at me. He is great to his family and mine for the most part and we have always had fights about housework. Ive just taken over to stop the fighting but I feel like he could help out a little bit too!!

    It's more than just housework. Also I have gained some weight the past couple years, nothing horrible, i went up one pant size but sometimes he asks me when I went to workout last and all this stuff too which also makes me mad too since he has gained weight too but idk if that makes him not want to be with me.

    I just feel like he doesn't love me anymore. Like he wants to be single but still have someone to clean up after him and cook for him and to have sex with him when he wants.

    I really need some advise. Is this normal? Is it just a phase and he will go back to how it used to be? Ot should i just leave him?

  • What should I pay off?

    I am getting a large amount of money from my school loans in the next two weeks. I am not sure what to do with the money because i want to pay off something but i want to pay off whatever will help my credit the most.

    i have a payday loan out and to pay that off would be around $1000

    i recently got a laptop for school from get it now! to pay that off would also be around $1000

    i also have 4 credit cards (all have a pretty low limit) so i could pay all of my cards off for $975

    i am only 20 years old and i dont know which 'bill' i should pay off. i will only be able to pay off one of them so i need to know which one will help my credit.

    i could really use some advice on this. i am a full time student and i dont want to have bad credit like my mom.

    any advice would help me. be as honest as you want. i know i havent made the best choices but i hope that since im so young and my credit is still 'new' i can fix it early.

  • I lost 3 lbs in 2 days, is that bad?

    Hi, so just two days ago I began researching ways to lose weight. I decided to cut my calorie I take cuz that seemed the most efficient. I downloaded an app on my phone called my fitness pal and I put in all my information like my current weight, goal weight, and exercise amount I do each day. It calculated a calorie intake goal of 1290/day. So the last two days I have been eating well and staying right at my calorie intake. I weighed myself this morning and I lost 3 lbs. I've heard that that's really unhealthy but I don't think I'm trying to lose weight the wrong way. What do you think?

    A normal day:

    Breakfast: 1 cup of fruit, one piece of toast w/ butter

    Or one banana, a glass of Orange juice and a yogurt.

    Lunch: a salad with low fat dressing

    Dinner: usually whatever looks good and is around my remaining calories. I've had spaghetti or some chicken and rice.
