It works SO well and feels SO good! Of course, I don’t use it for spaghetti after using it on my back, but it is the best back-scratcher other than my boyfriend!
So, what do YOU use?
I keep a back scratcher at work and at home, but I’ve been known to use doorways, rulers, letter openers, pens, pencils, and my husband!
Oh, and one time I used the long tongs that go to my barbeque. I use them to get things off of high shelves too (or out of the back of the lower cupboard)
Bath Bathing Cockatiel bathing – bath or shower which is best?
my cockatiel enjoys a shower however i have recently bought a bath which fits onto the cage.
Any tips on how i can entice her into it?
Some birds never like to bathe..some actually prefer the shower. It will take time for your bird to get used to her new bath….
Bath Bathing
My Jack Russell smells bad after three days with no bath. But bathing him so often irratates his skin.?
Any suggestions?
He’s on dry food now, but its just Alpo. I thought that was a good one. What if I got him Science Diet? Or is there something better?
Take him to the vet. Could be a problem with anal sacs or othe condition.
You should never ever bath a dog more than once or twice a year unless he rolled in something nasty or is on the AKC show circuit.
I suspect it isn’t the dog but your perception that you think you smell something.
The wet-doggy smell after being outside is normal. If you don’t like it, don’t have a dog. You are ruining his skin and making him miserable with dry and itching skin because of your hyper-sensitivity.
Chair Tattoo Ive have been wondering how fast a needle moves on a tattoo machine.?
I would just like to know. like i am going in to get a tattoo on may 10th, and i just wanted to know how fast the tattoo machine moves. I have to be in the chair for 3 hours, so i was just wondering how many times i would be stabbed. haha. I’m not nervous, just curious.
Liners aren’t always one needle- You can get 3,5,7…However thick you want it, it’s just that the needles are soldered in different positions- Rounds are just that-round, and the liners are bunched together to make a fine tip. Flats/magnums…All depends on what the tattooist prefers to do it with, and they will use several different needles if they feel like it. As for how many times you’ll be stabbed (lol) that depends on how low or high the tattooist sets their transformer/powerbox (whatever you want to call it). They buzz pretty fast. If you set the transformer too slow and tattoo too fast, you’ll end up dragging the needles over the skin- not nice, but if you set it too fast but tattoo too slow, you’ll chew the skin up. (Really not nice). You have to find the ‘happy medium’ as the artist, so as to not cause any unnecessary grief for the client. Good luck!
Chair Tattoo
tattoo question my 1st time.. ?
i plan on getting a tattoo on my side arm reading JOB 23:10. which design do you prefer.. these are just general and the tattoo artist will probably recommend better ones.
and 1 more thing, i’m in a wheelchair, can i just sit in it while he/she works on my upper side arm or will i need to sit in a special chair or something. this is my 1st tattoo.
thanks !!
love bugg, it isn’t anything bad for a Christian [i'm a 21 y/o re-born Christian] to get a tattoo. outward appearence doesn’t matter, it’s the inside of a person’s heart that stands out. there are many Christians with tattoos, does this mean it’s a sin only b/c of the markings? no, some people likes to identify themselves as followers of Christ Jesus and God by getting a tatt that marks them as faithful followers. plz don’t judge by appearence.
I like the first and second ones the most. The third one is too italic.
Your wheelchair would be fine, Its not like you are having your back tattooed.
Muscle Pain How to get rid of after-exercise muscle pain?
Yesterday, I added a new exercise to my workout plan: planks. Because I had never done these before, I wasn’t sure how physically demanding they were, but I did a couple of sets of them anyways.
This morning, I woke up with my entire core and my thighs all sore. I have an event to attend later tonight and it would be great if I could attend it pain-free.
What can I do to treat this muscle ache?
a couple of ibuprofen and a hot shower just before you go to your event should get you through.
Try to do some gently stretches so you don’t stiffen up too much.
Muscle Pain
How do I differentiate bone pain from muscle pain in a chronic pain situation in my feet?
I have had chronic pain in my feet since I can remember. I have had bone reconstruction surgery to lower the arch in my foot in the hopes that it would relieve some of the pain.
It did not work.
If I cut the circulation off to one of my feet and go numb, and that stops the pain – does that mean it was muscle or the bone that was the cause of the pain?
In otherwords – if I go numb, and the pain stops does that tell me anything about the source of the pain?
I’m afraid not. You’re numb because you’re pinching off a nerve. Nerves carry pain messages from both muscle and bone. Unless you know exactly which nerve your pinching, you can’t target the pain.

Carrier Oil
What are the best non-comedogenic carrier oils?
What are the best non-comedogenic carrier oils?
I have use jojoba oil in the past and it doesn’t work well under makeup.
Are all oils bad under makeup also?
I was going to suggest jojoba oil, that is the only one I know of that is for sure non-comedogenic. Any time you use an oil under your makeup it won’t last as long.
Homedics Massaging Have you ever been bought a Christmas present that has stayed in it`s box?
I bought a Homedics Quad Massager, in the Cargo shop for a friend, for around £10. I think it`s quite good. I`ve just been trying it out. It has batteries included and has 4 massage nodes for strong relief, a hand grip for comfort and illuminated massage heads. The friend in question, loves massages.
I just have visions that it is the sort of present that will remain in it`s box. I hope this question doesn`t sound too rude………
Ghost – Yes, they don`t sound like my cup of tea either. Lol.
Mark – Are you angling for a present??
Would you be interested in a Homedics Quad Massager. No don`t answer that. XX.
i was given some diesel perfume gift box thing about 2 years ago from a mate, its still in the box, never touched it
Homedics Massaging
Are the Homedics products (massage w/heat etc) reliable and effective?
I don’t know about reliable, but they are only half way effective, they usually only get to the top of the muscle and if the muscle is pinched it has no effect on that at all. You can do much better by using muscle releasing to get rid of your pain. Let me know where the pain and I will get you the help you are looking for.
Anti Gravity How will traffic laws need to change once anti gravity vehicles become available?
As I was driving along today, I was thinking, “if everybody had levitating cars, you’ll need to start looking not only left and right before you go, but also up, down, kinda sideways, slightly everywhere, and a little backwards” – is that why they don’t dell them yet?
Anyway, what traffic systems do you foresee for that time?
Sorry, make that “why they don’t SELL them yet”…
The laws of physics will have to be changed before any need for legislation appears. Thats why they don’t sell them. They don’t exist!
But, for the sake of debate, you should be reminded that pilots of aircraft have do do this all the time, and, pretty much, constantly while flying.
Meanwhile, air traffic is already subject to various degrees of control, with commercial aircraft assigned headings and altitude, direct control of ALL aircraft as they near airports and extremely tight restrictions in some sectors.
If, and when, this type of personal aircraft becomes available, it would only take a bit of modification of existing vehicle and aircraft codes to make the system work.
Anti Gravity
What is anti-gravity and does it dilate time?
Gravity is what we feel as space and time warping, and this is what makes satellites clock speeds run slower. If anti-gravity is the opposite of gravity does this mean space-time becomes inversely warped. Would this mean time would run backwards?
Antigraviy is pure science fiction at this point. It isn’t known to exist.
Actually, satellites’ clocks run faster than Earth-based clocks….because the satellite occupants perceive a weightless environment instead of 9.8 Newtons/kilogram of constraint forces.
Avon slimming belt ? Anyone tried it? Did it work? Or is it just a waste of money?
Thanks for the details Raj, Talking abt treadmil and heart rate when i had just join the gym my heartrate was 180bpm someone said i should be lower then 150 and now its down below 140. I am not sure if i am doing this rite? Wat u reckon?
no, it really really doesn’t. since i just wrote someone a plan, i’ll post it for you. not sure if you wanna see it, but i can guarentee you that in a bout 4-6 months, you can have a significantly improved body.
the maximum you should be losing each week healthfully is 2 pounds. of course you can take a little bit more off if ur counting water weight but honestly, 30 pounds in 3 months is possible but difficult and if you don’t do it properly, it can be pretty bad for you.
1. try to eat 5-7 meals a day. these should be well portioned meals that don’t include too many extras. this will keep your metabolism going. keep it simple. for example,
a. in the morning, you could have a little fruit, preferably something like an apple skin and all so that ur getting ur fiber. u can also try some oatmeal or if your on the run, a quick protein shake with milk.
b. your second meal could be something with some low glycemic index carbs in it. oatmeal or some whole wheat pasta or maybe some brown rice and veggies. try not to exceed 400 calories per meal also.
c. this is where u wanna start wheening off the carbs. u can have a salad or some grilled chicken or tuna etc. the general rule is too try and minimize your carb intake after 2
d. you could mix in another protein shake or maybe some fish(salmon, cod, tilapia etc.)
e. you get the idea, something low carb.
2. don’t eat within 3 hours of sleeping. this is a good time to catch up on ur water intake. you should take in atleast a gallon a day.
3. i see that you mentioned that you spend 30 mins. on the treadmill 5 times a week. that is great, but in addition, you might wanna try and mix in some lifting. i don’t mean being a bodybuilder, but lifting weights also boosts your metabolism and actually burns calories for a longer period of time(though not as many as cardio) cardio boosts your caloric intake for about 2 hours where lifting can boost it for up to 6.
4. adding some supplements can also be helpful. taking a multivitamin every day is essential on a reduced calorie diet to make sure your getting all of the nutrients you need. if you aren’t getting all your nutrients, you may be stunting your progress. also, supplementing some vitamin b before your workout with some cla’s can be pretty helpful. there are a lot of weight loss supplements out there, but most rely on caffeine and other unhealthy sources to achieve the results. most heavily advertised weight loss supplements are thermogenics, i would recommend staying away from them. some claim l carnitine is helpful for weight loss and there are many other supplements, but from experience, cla’s and vitamin b work pretty well and are not bad for you at all.
5. when your on the treadmill, try to keep your heartrate up. you won’t lose as much weight if you are walking for 30 minutes and your heartrate isn’t really changing much. a jog that gets you to about 60-70% of your max heartrate will achieve the best results. it is not good to really sprint either. one technique ppl use that i like is called hiit(high intensity interval training). you trade off btw some running that is challenging for you and some light jogging. it is said that this technique helps burn more calories than you may burn at the average speed you are traveling. it is also not too hard to keep this up for a pretty decent amount of time
6. in your final week, you can try flushing the waterweight out too shed off those extra pounds. stick to all the above advice, including the gallon a day, but do your best to avoid sodium. also, you can supplement some caffiene to flush out the excess water. this does not mean drink soda’s b/c soda’s by no means are a part of a good weight loss routine.
i hope this helps. i was able to lose 20 pounds in about 4 months using the above advice. during that time, i spent about an hour to an hour and a half in the gym 5-6 days a week. this was with 45 minutes to an hour of lifting and 30 minutes of cardio. the reason that weight loss doesn’t seem too significan’t is that i managed to retain most of my muscle, and in the final month, i actually gained some musclemass. i went from being flabby w/ love handles to having a 4 pack and i felt a ton better and more energetic. gl with w/e you choose to do, and remember, the best thing you can do is stay dedicated and keep to your routine. if you do that, you will be able to reach your goal.
Slimming Belt
Is there anyone here who has used a slimming belt religiously and get results? Thanks?
If you fasten it really tight it might look as if you’ve lost weight, but in all honesty I would not entertain the thought of one of these devices helping you for a second.
Body Butter I bought the same body butter at a TJ Max in Ohio- Any luck on your where to get more?
I bought the Coconut body butter. I returned weeks later and they’re all out. Does anyone know if we can buy from Nature2Nature (CST- mfg.) in Fall River, MA? Please advise Thanks in advance for the information.
have you tried doing an online search? maybe they have a website where you can get it online.
Body Butter
How do I get started selling body oils and shea butter body creams as a home based business?
I’ve been on some websites that sell body oils and shea butter wholesale and they are advertising for a small fee you can start your own Body Oil business. However, they do not say what that fee is and there is very limited information on the site. Can I get a license to sell the oils from my state, buy the oils wholesale and sale them from my home? And will that be legal to do if I’m buy them from a wholesaler?
First thing is to look at having fun with selling from home, then say what is a realistic monthly return you would like to see. Once you have worked that out then you will be able to figure a rough profit margin to meet such returns, use this margin as a basis to approaching wholesalers.

Hand Vibrator
I dont have a vibrator but i love the feeling of one what should i do!?
I mean is ther something else besides your hands and running water and stuff!!
I am assuming you have tried a vibrator but you don’t have your own.
You can buy sex toys online, assuming you don’t want to go to a store in person. For example Amazon sells them, search for sex toys, the cheapest one is $7, they accept credit cards and are a safe company. Also you can always order some books or CDs with it and pretend this is what you got.
I suggest to get a good quality one, meaning go for something that has good customer ratings and isn’t super cheap.
Don’t use vegetables as they introduce plant matter into your vagina through rub off, which then can cause complications such as infections or fungus. There is also a possibility that a piece could break off and then you need someone else to remove it for you e.g. a nurse/doctor.
