Is my tattoo ruined for life?
i had a tattoo done on my ankle 6 weeks ago. right away i believe it got infected (foot swelling, pain, VERY slow to heal,scarring). i kept it clean and "medicated" but never went to a doctor. now most of the scabbing and dead skin is gone, but there is a reddish/brown "halo" surrounding it. is this going to go away? i have read that it could be bruising , but can that last this long? any advice would be great.
FLEAS ARE RUINING MY LIFE!?
Hartz flea collars are useless. You have as bad a flea infestation as I had once. The Spectracide for the yard was GREAT! The foggers will do a good job, BUT you must bug bomb your home every 4 to 5 days for 4 to 6 sessions. The reason is that foggers do NOT kill the flea eggs. While the foggers SHOULD KILL ALL currently live fleas, some eggs will hatch tomorrow, and the next day, and so on. So it takes a while to kill them all, and you must leave the house for a 4 hour period while the bug bombing is done. Repeated bug bombings will prevent reinfestation. You should be using something better than Hartz brand for your topical flea drops. Talk to your vet about getting Comfortis. It's fantastic from what my friends who have used it say. Before you get Comfortis, you can bathe the animals using Dawn liquid soap and lather it up good and let it sit on the animal. That usually drowns fleas quite well. AND get one of those combs that have the teeth really close together to use to comb out the fleas. Most the fleas should be dead. If any are not, just dump them off the comb into a container of water with Dawn liquid soap till they drown, and then flush them away. Spray the dog beds. Please do the Comfortis at least this month as it will help a LOT! -!-
Does yard work ruin your back?
Well, let’s see. My back is ruined. It’s also genetically deformed, so that doesn’t help. And I’m old. The neurosurgeon I’ve been seeing says that everything is as expected with someone my age, and I’m actually in great shape considering. The tests are still going on to find out why a nerve is pinched, however. If I’m in trouble, it’s from sitting for hours on end at a desk or drawing table or in front of an easel, not from gardening.Here’s the thing. Statistics have proven that those who garden live longer and are in better health than those who don’t. Our disks and cartilage require movement to maintain the moisture levels needed to keep our joints moving freely. Exercise is essential to lengthen the muscles and tendons so that neither tear when asked to do more than is usual. So regular, frequent exercise is the best thing you can do for your body.The only way gardening will ruin your back is if you use poor posture and poor ergonomics when gardening. The best way to lift something is to bend your knees, preferably out to the side, with your back straight. Bending over at the waist to pull weeds is asking for sciatica down the road. Failing to warm up or cool down isn’t healthy. In other words, treat yourself as if you’re an athlete and your garden is your Olympic training ground. Gardeners who garden frequently and use care can continue to garden well into old age.Also, get tools that fit your body.
How can I ruin someone's life who has tried to ruin mine?
What a bunch of holier then thou, self righteous pri##s you all are. This person asked for help with a problem and not one person actually gave him/her the help they needed. Instead, every one of you preached about living well, smiling, being successful and overcoming the wrong that was done to him. What you all don’t understand is that sometimes, that is just not possible but revenge is. I aam also in the same boat. Someone has ruined my life and I do not have the options you all suggest. I was severely, emotionally, physically and financially hurt by someone very close to me. Someone I loved. Someone I mentored. Someone I treated like my own child. Someone who I took in and whose life I improved greatly. Someone who ruined me. Someone who swindled me. Someone who took advantage of me. Someone who is now enjoying the fruits of my labor. And someone who has made it so that I will be forced to scrounge and scrape until my dying day. I shall never again be able to go away for a weekend. I shall never again be able to buy an extra pair of shoes. I am pretty sure the 3 year old car I drive will have to last another 20 or so years because there is no way I will ever be able to buy another newer car. I will never be able to afford the 2 hearing aids I need now. I will not ever be able to renew the magazine subscriptions I have subscribed to for many many years. I will have to wear the same sunglasses until the day I die, never will I ever be in a position again to go plop down $160 dollars for a pair of the same glasses I’ve been wearing for 20+ years. I will never again have the disposable income to hire someone to plant a couple of new plants in my yard. I will have to spread out my haircuts to every 7 weeks instead of every 4. Being disabled in my 7th decade doesn’t leave me with too many options to succeed again in life and show this person I can smile and be happy because I have overcome. No, I will not overcome! Not ever! I have been doomed to live a life of poverty. I have been doomed to a life of doing without the things I have worked to afford all my adult life. Worst of all, I will never be able to help my kids out again if they ever have a problem. Sorry son, I realize you’re having trouble with the rent this month but I just don’t have any money to help you out.So when someone asks for help getting even, help them get even, or just pass it by. Sometimes one really needs more than a lesson in morality!

Why are my parents trying to ruin my summer vacation?
They arent trying to ruin your vacation neccessarily, i think the problem is they just assume you arent doing anything because you're home. From now on, when they ask what you did today, go into detail and list EVERY little thing. You sound busy, they feel like they have a productive child, and everyone wins. The whole 8am thing IS annoying, and they should be respectful of you in the mornings because you DO work night shift, but they mean well. As far as watching your little brother, just grin and bare it. Having a positive attitude about this will make it suck WAY less. instead of thinking "They just dropped the kid on me, this sucks" think "Oh, tommy and i get to hang out today." Just a fun idea, but you're his older sibling. He probably looks up to you whether you know it or not. Try teaching him ONE small thing every other time they leave him to be baby sat. You'll feel really cool afterwards, trust me. They dont have to be big things like how to paint a house, but maybe something like tie dye, or even how to get past level 5 of your favorite video game. As far as weeding the yard, maybe whenever you and dad are home together, encourage him to come out with you and work on the yard together. You two could make it a special project, that way he's motivated to get it done, and you dont have to keep doing the same thing over and over. By saying "Come on dad, lets go plant some flowers" or whatever it is hes planning, instead of saying "You make me weed over and over and i hate it" you'll change the cycle you seem to be stuck in. Fake it until you make it is my fave quote. I think your summer will be much better if you just embrace these things and look at the positive. Even when you want to scream about how stupid your chores are, smile and do them. Eventually, they wont even seem like a big deal at all.
My brother is ruining my life!? need help with revenge + survival?
Why fuel the fight between you? Why didn't you ask your brother first before having your parents make him drive you? You could have went to him with your other brother and explained that you really needed a ride and would appreciate it if he could drive you. If he refused, that is where your other brother comes in and convinces him. He told you to wait outside...it was raining...didn't you think that he could have meant to wait outside in the garage? If not, why stay out IN THE rain for fifteen minutes. I know that you are mad at your brother for what happened...but you being drenched was your own fault. Common sense should have told you to at least go into the garage and wait for him...once you saw that it was raining. He was definitely a jerk when he kept moving the car up and he did take it too far when you ended up falling in a puddle and when he turned your backpack inside out and let your notebooks and textbooks fall on the lawn. But, how do you accidentally get mud on a seat? I can understand the floor mat, but not the seat. If you knew he got that mad about it, you should have apologized to him right there and let him know you would clean it up as soon as you got home. It seems he dumped your books on the lawn as a way to get back at you as he perceived the mud in the car to be intentional. I know this will be exceedingly hard, but don't let him get you mad. You will just stew and stew over this and it only hurts you not him. He is expecting you to react - don't give him the pleasure. If he is still there, I would go and clean his car. Clean it better than it was before. Come in and let him know that you cleaned his car and you are sorry if he thought you did it intentionally - as it wasn't on purpose. Then, when your parents come home, show them the textbooks and notebooks. If there is considerable damage to the textbooks, more than likely - your parents may have to replace them. Don't do it hoping to get your brother in trouble - do it knowing that your parents might be facing a bill for textbook replacement and you want to give them a heads up so that they know. Then, let your parents deal with your brother.
Was my childhood ruined?
You know how a childhood summer should be- get up at 11, roam free until dinnertime, ride your bike, go on vacation. But my family was different. We woke up at 9, stayed inside until almost noon, came in every hour to "Check in", and came in for dinnertime at 6. I couldn't go into the frontyard until I was seven, and couldn't even cross my (residential) street until I was almost ten. Still, at 14, I can't go into ANYBODY'S house unless I go through a 1/2 hour begging session, can't go onto the next street over, or go to the park 2 blocks away to hang out with my friends. My family has been on one vacation, not even out of state vacation at that. The only time we went out of state is to North Carolina to visit my grandparents, and now they live in St. Louis with me. STL County, by the way, which is low on crime. Also, my dad is always angry at the rest of the family. Did I have a bad childhood, and is it too late to make up for lost time?
