Anyone have any advice for how to handle a panic attack?

I panicked about something today and it was so debilitating. I know it sounds weird, but I got so worried that all I could do was pace around the house.....I couldn't sit still and do anything. Anyone ever had this happen and if so, what do you recommend doing when this happens?Anyone have any advice for how to handle a panic attack?
I get those a lot. I take deep breaths and find something productive to do, or I jog around the neighborhood. It always works for me.Anyone have any advice for how to handle a panic attack?
Yup, when you feel that happening..


Think to yourself.. This is not a big deal , this is not a big deal , panicking about it is stupid... Take some deep breaths , listen to music and relax..
While there can be a medical reason for it many times it is ourselves that drive ourselves that way, we stress or have stress for many reasons and here in the good Ole USA most of us carry boat loads of debts that we know we can't really pay and we never can get ahead, knowing this in the subconscious we deny it outright, since we don't know what you were worried about I took a shot at one of the most common causes, stress, stress, stress, keep this in mind, if there's absolutely nothing you can do about the problem then why stress for something you cannot do anything or change the outcome to. If it is something you can fix then do what you can piece by piece and try not to tackle the whole beast in one swoop, one thousand little cuts will kill as well as one bigger cut, takes just a bit longer but it will happen.


In the mean time try drinking at the start of your day a cup of fresh brewed Manzanilla Chamomile tea, check it out online it works to calm most people down, tea is much more then people think.
if your panic took the form of obsessing about the item and you couldn't react to anything else, the only answer i might have would be to physically remove yourself from the location. sounds easy, but sometimes really helps to get outside and enjoy some sun. another simple option would also be valerian root to help the mind and body disconnect from the event a bit. it helps the stomach relax a bit without resorting to anything drastic.
talk your way out of it, its a mental door you must pass thru again..its all in the mind.


its a fight withyourself that you can win, without drugs.
count backwards, slowly, from 100-1





this takes your attention off the panic attack and centers you...it hasn't failed for me yet!
I faced these head on in my early twenties and eventually I overcame my fear, try to relax and think what could really happen? Sometimes I'd give myself a light pinch to focus.





This may not work for you, in which case you may have to see a doctor.
i am extremely high strung and i feel the need to control every situation and if anything gets out of control, I do panic and pace and feel completely out of control and helpless and stressed. I understand. Here is what i do: I know you can't control every situation but controlling what you can about your own life will help. learn what triggers your panic attacks and try to control the situation around you to prevent that or learn how to remove yourself from that situation. If you can't help this: stop, breathe, realize that you can't control everything. Ask yourself what you can do to help this situation and make yourself feel better. My big triggers were always running out of money. So i learned to not impulse shop so much and budget my money better so that I would not find myself short in my account. Sometimes the simplest little things can make you feel so much better in the long run. Also: exercise helps me tremendously. If i feel antsy, I run my *** off on the treadmill. That helps take the butterflies out of my gut and it's me time so i can clear my mind and think straight. most importantly, address what triggers your panic attacks and figure out a way to prevent it or work through it when it happens.
PANIC IS NOTHING BUT A SELF MADE PROBLEM. NEVER RESPONSE TO PANIC SITUATION. JUST LEAVE IT AT HIS OWN.


TRY TO UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS NOT UR PROBLEM TO SOLVE THIS, FORGET IT AND WILL DISAPPEAR ITSELF.





IN ANOTHER CASE U MUST HAVE STRONG NERVOUS SYSTEM AND YOU DEAL WITH IT SUCCESSFULLY.
I have had panic attacks before, mostly related to a phobia I have, but they are more severe. I have to keep my head down or I will faint; it feels like i cant breathe and I get very hot and sweat and my heart is racing....





Unfortunately there is no simple cure for this situation; if this occurs often a doctor can prescribe medication but this is serious stuff and should not be used for once in awhile anxiety; its for panic disorder which has to be diagnosed...





some things that help me are chamomile tea, listening to music and while the anxiety attack is happening, keeping your head down and looking at the floor. You can also try breathing slowly and exhaling to the count of 4, its called square breathing. There are herbs that can help as well but again be careful, they are almost like medication, ask someone who knows what theya re talking about. Valerin, passion flower, and kava are some of the many herbs that promotes anti-anxiety, st.johns wart is known for anti-depression. These all have a sleep inducing quality to them; you should get looks of rest and take a multi-vitamin and eat healthy.
Breath deeply, listen to music, do anything to get your mind off of it, if you really feel bad you can breath into a paper bag or go to bed and curl up.
Yeah that has happened to me before. I find that breathing excercises are the best. Concentrate on a breathing pattern and 'meditate' if you can to bring your heart rate down. As soon as you are stable make a quick plan on a piece of paper that will allow you to deal with your problem. Even if the plan isn't great, you can refine it later but get some sort of action plan in place so that you can concentrate on it.
i don't know if you had a real panic attack. If you did the thing to remember is that it is not harmful and will pass. There is nothing to do for it but accept it and it will end itself. The more you get worked up the longer it will last. Anyone can panic, just put them in front of a firing squad. It is part of human nature that you don't want to fear or make a habit out of.
Well if it is fear a thing that i read in a book said ';the only thing that drives fear is fear itself'; hope i helped and if you have anger management you need to ';just let it be';
do a max set of pushups, then take a cold shower.





It sounds really wierd, but just try it.
All I can say is take a break sit back and do something you enjoy its the only way to get over panic attacks. I used to get them bad then I just decided to tell everyone to leave me alone for a while and I sat back and did everything I like to do.


Trustme no medication can cure it take a break and talk to people about what is worrying you even if theydon't want to listen to you. Just find someone that will. And take it easy
i found the best way is to lay on a couch empty your mind and just take long deep breaths and just relax
Sometimes going for a walk or jog will help get rid of that restless energy. Talking to friends helps too I find. And keep telling yourself that you'll be fine, the feeling will go away soon and you will be ok. My friend has panic attacks alot, and I always just talk calmly to her, or maybe tell her a little story to help take her mind off of it and calm her down.


Feel better!
Try thinking about something else... and take deep breaths. It might not work though. If not and these attacks keep happening and you are concerned I would make an appointment with your doctor. You might need a way to deal with these attacks other than natural methods.





I had them... I medicated for a long while. I am no longer on medication but I still have them... just not as bad. I will think about something else or I will go to the nearest window or door and take nice deep breaths of some fresh air... it calms me down some without making me a zombie!
i have had one of those lyk twice. i actually had to go to the ambulance station. i felt lyk real nervous at 1st, then felt lyk i couldnt breath. then i was freaking out because i couldnt get enough air in (i thought) but they told me to calm down and breath in through my nose hold it for a few secs and breath out of my mouth.


it works.


it it gets to bad then i suggest you get medicine. It will help:]
Do whatever you can to confront the thing that is stressing you out. For example, if it's your grades, do homework. If it's unemployment, type up a resume. (These are just examples.) If you can't do anything about whatever is stressing you out right now for whatever reason, make a list of things you can do in the future (tomorrow, for instance). Then do something for yourself (take a bath, drink some chamomile tea, etc.) and tell yourself that you've done all you can do today about your problem.
I have extremely RANDOM panic attacks. They occur in very random situtations and at random times. There is no consistency to them at all. I feel as if I am not breathing correctly and/or my heart is racing, and a lot of times I feel very unstable. Really, it just feels like something is not right. And the more I think about it as it is happening, the worse the feeling(s) get. I just try and think of something else, talk to someone, do something that I ROUTINELY do, just to get my mind going on something else. Sometimes it's quite hard to do...but it works eventually. TIME is all that really ';heals'; my panic attacks.
Do deep breathing exercises.

Who can give me a piece of good advice how to go from Limburg (belgium) Brussels (Charleroi) (CRL)aeroport?

Who can give me a piece of good advice how to go from Limburg (belgium) Brussels (Charleroi) (CRL)aeroport?Who can give me a piece of good advice how to go from Limburg (belgium) Brussels (Charleroi) (CRL)aeroport?
By train : city of residence in Limburg to Bruxelles Midi.(Brussel Zuid)


Then: in front of railroad station: special bus direct to Charleroi airport.





Alternatively: in any of the 3 Brussels railroad stations (Nord-Central-Midi) take train coming from Antwerp and going to Charleroi. In front of Ch. railroad station take cab to airport.Who can give me a piece of good advice how to go from Limburg (belgium) Brussels (Charleroi) (CRL)aeroport?
By train you can travel from Hasselt, Tongeren, Overpelt/Neerpelt, Maaeik but you have to switch in Brussels on the train direction Charleroi Sud.


From some smaller stations you can travel to one of these above by local train.


If you are close to Liege (South of Limburg) you can take a direct train to Charerloi-Sud.


You can buy a special train-ticket for the airport that include the bus-ticket needed to travel from the trainstation to the airport.

Some taxi-companies also offer airport transfer. Check for ';luchthavenververvoer'; on this site:


http://taxi.injebuurt.be/injebuurt/city/鈥?/a>


or ask at the place where you stay (hotel / guest-family)


Be sure to ask for Charleroi Aerport!
I am very confused by your question as ';Limburg'; is an region that straddles the Dutch/Belgian border.Until your are able to elbsorate exactly where in region you are it is very diffuclt to give precise information.If you are talking about Hasselt then I can probably help you.

  • Any networking advice on how to get an internship?

    It's not that I am nervous to converse with professionals at social/business functions. But I am not getting any offers or referrals from these business professionals. Should I be bold enough to ask them directly if they can offer me an internship this summer? Seems that my network is not working for me... Suggestions?Any networking advice on how to get an internship?
    yes, be that bold.





    You should also look on monster or hotjobs to find internships.





    If you are in college, go to the career center. They have loads on internships.Any networking advice on how to get an internship?
    Sure , ask directly. I always say, when you want to know something, go right to the source. Good luck. bettyk
    There are a lot of sites that gives you infos on who is hiring for iterns. Check careerbuilder, monster, and your state's workforce site.

    Is there any place to ask advice on how to decorate a space without having to hire someone?

    I am looking to make some changes to a formal room turned into a playroom. It's an entry room to the house so I'm wanting advice on how someone would handle that without it being tacky when you have guests over.Is there any place to ask advice on how to decorate a space without having to hire someone?
    Try going to HGTV.com. I watch hgtv constantly and am always getting new ideas from there.Is there any place to ask advice on how to decorate a space without having to hire someone?
    Maybe get a wood chest to keep toys and such in so they are hidden... or possibly if the room is big enough and you have bulky things you wish to hide, maybe put up a curtain or a screen to hide them.
    Maybe you should flip through the catalogues or home design magazines to get some ideas.
    get the house makeover magizene for 1$ and look in it u can get really cute things in there for cheap
    I believe that you can disguise the playroom and make it more organized by what you put in the room. You can get shelving and put boxes or plastic containers on it for the toys and then put a curtain rod on top with a pair of curtains hanging down to cover up the toys and for easy access for the kids by just opening the curtains. You could also put a day bed in there that can also be used for guests to sit down and take their shoes off. A small table and chair set could be used to play cards when the guests are there, or for the kids to use to make crafts or do homework. Just use your imagination and you would be surprised at the great ideas you can come up with to improvise. I hope this helps.

    I need advice on how to receive a Visa for a Mexican to come to the US with me.?

    I am a US citizen living in Mexico. Since I have been here, I fell in love with a Mexican man and we are thinking about moving to the US in less than 6 months. However, we are unsure (and a little intimidated) about the Visa process. Can anyone help us on how to guarentee my boyfriend...soon to be husband...and I to LEGALLY enter the US on a valid Work (?) Visa?I need advice on how to receive a Visa for a Mexican to come to the US with me.?
    A work visa is NO guarantee and since he your ';soon to be husband'; - you are better off going the K1 route.





    Which means you return home, he stays in Mexico, you file Form I-129F (this can be downloaded from the website below). If this is approved, it gets sent to the National Visa Center (NVC) were a security check is done.





    Once that is completed the file is sent to Consulate overseas where the K-1 interview will be held (Mexico). The consulate will send your fiance(e) (applicant) the visa application forms. Some consulates require only a checklist sent back indicating that all the forms are complete, other consulates require the entire package of completed forms to be returned.





    Basiclly he will then attend an interview, if he was successful and he will be granted a K-1 visa - which allows him to seek entry into the United States for the purpose of getting married to a United States citizen. You have 90 days to get married once he enters the country.





    This whole process takes about 8-10 months and costs $455, not including the marriage license, travel costs or the actual wedding.





    Once you are married, you may file a AOS (Adjustment of status) to Permanent Resident and an Work Authorization (EAD).





    This is the expensive part - $1,010 for the AOS and $340 for the EAD.





    It total if you budget for around $2000 - for the whole process you should be fine.I need advice on how to receive a Visa for a Mexican to come to the US with me.?
    You can try to get a fiancee visa (K) and get married in the US or get married in Mexico and file you I-130 and I-485. I would suggest trying the fiancee route. I was in your situation and chose to get married first and it took almost 2 years for my wife to come. As always, consult with a reputable Immigration lawyer.
    Please, just make sure HE is wanting to marry you for the RIGHT reasons......
    For you in this situation, it's easy.


    Unfortantely my husband came to the U.S. illegaly as a baby and so our process takes YEARS.. Yours will only take months (just to put things in perspective for you) Do not be intimidated !! It is very simple.


    This is such a simple case it's even best to do it alone and not even using a lawyer..

    Moles!! Can anyone give me any advice on how to HUMANELY rid my garden of moles?

    My beautiful lawn is covered in mole hills. Any helpful advice would be welcome.Moles!! Can anyone give me any advice on how to HUMANELY rid my garden of moles?
    The moles are being attracted to your yard because there is a food source. Most likely, that source is grubs, weevil larvae, and other types of worms.





    The first thing you need to do is get rid of your creepy crawlie problems. While you could apply lots of chemical insecticides, these cause problems environmentally, and to children and pets. If you truly want to be humane to not only the moles but those around you, you can use beneficial nematodes. Nematodes are microscopic worms that parasitize grubs, weevil larvae, and other harmful worms (note: they don't affect earthworms, which are very good for your lawn and would be killed by insecticides).





    In terms of application, you want to apply them to moist grass later in the day (4 -7 pm) and make sure that they stay moist for as long as possible. But, you do not want to irrigate or have rain because that is too much water. Instead, what I do is sprinkle the area with the shower mode on my hose's spray nozzle.





    The nematodes will provide not only quick results, but lasting results. They will work as long as you keep the conditions right. If you happen to have a drought or something, then you would need to reapply and start the process again.





    There are a number of companies that sell nematode products, but many are not worth wasting your money on. I have tried many different ones and found that the best ones are distributed by Becker Underwood in Ames, IA. They ship them overnight to you and because of how they package them, the packs are still cold (before applying, it is important that the nematodes remain cool -- most other companies don't take that much care). While they do not sell them to your common joe, you can call them and they will tell you where the nearest retailer to you is. The type that you will probably need is ';Heterorhabditis bacteriophora'; and it is marketed at Nemasys G.





    Good luck!





    (By the way, if worse comes to worse and you need to get rid of the moles, you can put unwrapped sticks of Juicy Fruit gum in their holes. They eat it, they get bound up, and they die. I've have never used that because I have always used the nematodes, but my grandma used to have great success with it when I was a kid.)Moles!! Can anyone give me any advice on how to HUMANELY rid my garden of moles?
    Dig a hole through the center of the most active runway sufficiently large enough to place a #10 tin can (approximately 7 inches in diameter and 10-12 inches deep) upright in the hole. Be sure the top of the can is level with the bottom of the runway. Fill and pack dirt tightly around the sides of the can, and then plug both sides of the runway with soil right up to the lip of the can. You may also want to stamp the runway about 1 foot on both sides of the can. Lay a board, plywood scrap or other suitable material on the ground over the pit to block out light and prevent pets or children from falling into the hole, but allow you to maintain easy access for monitoring. In reopening the runway, the mole will fall into the can and usually is unable to escape. If the tunnels are not reopened or you fail to catch a mole within 1-2 days, move the device to another active runway.
    We have been combating moles for over twenty years at the farm. . . The only thing that has worked for us is buying a roller to pull behind a mower that is filled with water weighing approx. 400 lbs. . . This will smash down the tunnels and help even your yard over time also. . . Another trick is to buy a big bag of castor oil pellets and sprinkle them from the main building outwards over a few day period to repel them. . . And then, we also plant a row or marigolds on the side of the garden that they like to come in, and this has worked as a deterrent for over 5 years now :) The best of luck to you :)
    The first thing you need to do is get rid of their primary food supply. Grubs. They are digging up your yard in search of food. Spread an insecticide that is designed to kill the grubs in your yard %26amp; the moles will go to your neighbor's yard. If you wan't more information, type ';how to get rid of moles'; in your search bar.
    Moles are attracted by grubs. Grubs live just under to grass roots. I had grubs and moles and put down grub-x and got rid of the moles food and the moles left my yard. I would put down some insect killer in the yard.








    Good luck.
    A good method is to buy some of those plastic children's windmills which turn in the wind. Stick them in the ground. Moles don't like the sound of the vibrations.
    my mother in law just told me that Epsom salt works if you use on of those hose sprayers, I haven't tried it ,,,but I should as my yard is horrible due to the moles too!
    I know someone who cuts the bottom off milk plastic milk cartons and puts the top end in the run and lets the cut off bottom stick out of the ground. They swear it works.
    What is normally done is a pesticide is sprayed on the lawn to kill grubs! Moles LOVE grubs! Get rid of the grubs and the moles will go away! ;-)=
    I believe you can buy a thing that you put in the ground and it sends out sonic pulses that drive moles away.
    I use the old fashioned way. Put urine down the holes, if you have a cat put some refuse from the cat litter down the holes.


    It does work
    Never mind humane ,dig a big hole and bury the buggers alive, that'll teach 'em
    caster oil, make a spray and spray away

    Hello





    There are some great ways that can help you to be taller.


    check these helpful methods to grow taller faster:





    sleep well





    Getting a full night's sleep every day is one of the most important things for growing taller..


    Get at least 7 hours of sleep each night and take whatever steps you need to ensure that your sleep is uninterrupted as much as possible.





    Actually, the first 2 hours of sleep are when the most growth hormone is released into your system from your pituitary gland. Sleeping just a few hours can lower the amount of growth hormone your body produces, which is not a good thing.





    Eating the right foods





    It's very recommended to choose foods that are rich in proteins.


    for instance:


    milk, fish, eggs, and lean meat are all forms of good protein.


    Try also eating foods that have plenty of amino acids and vitamins.


    On the other hand you must know about some of the biggest threats to your growth potential: caffeine, junk food and refined sugar.





    Growing taller exercises





    Daily physical exercise is also an important part of growing. Swimming for example can help a lot to increase your growth potential.





    In the water you have less gravity and that means more open bone areas for your body to fill them with new bone tissue. The free motion of swimming is very light on your body and greatly releases stress, which can prevent your body from growing. Try to swim about 3-4 times a week if you can.





    Anyhow, don't go out and buy those ';magical peels'; that you can find anywhere online, they just don't work and you will waste hundreds of dollars for nothing. Why not? Well because the only scientific way the body grows is through the release of our natural height increasing hormone called human growth hormone or HGH for short.





    There are very few programs that actually work and can help you growing taller naturally by 2-4 inches in just a couple of weeks.


    Check this article for information about hot and new grow taller program that helped many people to increase their height naturally even after puberty:





    http://www.squidoo.com/grow-taller-4-idi鈥?/a>





    One of the easiest ways to become taller is to buy height increasing shoes that makes you taller imperceptibly . This kind of shoes will not make you grow taller but it will easily increase your height immediately. For some great tips on height increasing shoes and how to choose the right shoes that will be suitable for you check this article:

    Good luck, you can do it!.Tips And advice on how to grow more taller?
    As of this date, there are no foods or specific exercises to help with height. Doing Pilates will help you appear taller, as will having good posture.


    Embrace your height- we are all made to be different!
    Well there isn't really any cure to growing taller.


    Just wait. Maybe you haven't hit your growth spurt yet


    because guys usually hit it around 14-16.
    Do jumping jacks everyday.
    PLEASE TELL ME WHEN YOU FIND OUT--I can use several inches!

    I need advice on how to paint over top of a slanted porch roof of a 2 story house. Ladder, scaffold not fit.?

    I've painted all the exterior of my wood framed 2 story house except over the porch. It slants and my ladder won't work. How do I reach the top story?I need advice on how to paint over top of a slanted porch roof of a 2 story house. Ladder, scaffold not fit.?
    The safest way I know is to rent a boom lift. It has a platform w/controls in it, 4 wheel drive, gas powered engine, and reach many areas from one location. works great. There are other ways, but not so safe. Depending on your pitch of the roof, you can use a 40' ladder and lean it over your porch, pulling the feet of the ladder far enough away from the home that it will reach the roof line. I have even put the ladder in the back of my pick up truck for extra height %26amp; acts as a brace. You can use two ladders, put on either side of your porch, use ladder jacks, extend a walk board between the two ladders, and walk out on the board to reach your home. This is the best method that I use, for small jobs like yours. I am a pro painter of 26 yrs.I need advice on how to paint over top of a slanted porch roof of a 2 story house. Ladder, scaffold not fit.?
    i have a chimney scaffold that you nail to the roof and adjusts to any angle. i would plank this solid and work off that . you could build a wooden platform that would do the same thing. put your ladder on that...

    Need some advice on how to pick some good designer perfume?

    I want to get something that smells really good and caters to the 20-30 year old crowd of women? I'm 24. Any suggestions would help. Feel free to tell me what your fav perfume is. Thanks!Need some advice on how to pick some good designer perfume?
    My favorites are Dior Addict 2 and the new prada perfume. There is this special gift editon at Sephora right now (they have one for me and one for women) it gives you samples of 10 different perfumes for women and i think six for men (two different gift boxes, one for men and one for women I think they cost $45.00) you try all the samples and when you find one you like, you take it to a sephora store and get a full sized bottle of the one you picked for free plus you got to try all the great samples. Don't have sephora store near you? go online sephora.comNeed some advice on how to pick some good designer perfume?
    Girl, go to Sephora. I love that store. They have a wall full of designer fragrances. I recommend Cheap and Chic by Moschino. The bottle is shaped like Olive Oil. It smells soooo good.
    I like Happy by Clinque...as well as Paris by YSL.





    Go to Sephora or any department store and test some out. Don't spray several scents at once, you'll end up smelling...lol but overlapping scents and won't really be able to tell the difference. Also, don't spray on the cardboard papers they provide. That doesn't tell you how it will smell on you.





    Best way is to pick two scents.....spray one on each wrist. Then smell the two scents all day. See which one you like....which one lasts long...etc. This takes more time than just spraying a lot at once...but you'll end up buying and getting the perfect scent for you.





    Have fun
    well, i just recently went shopping for perfume, so hopefully this helps. i went to a department store at around 8:30 (near closing), when it was less crowded...that way i was able to have the full attention of the sales attendant, and we literally tried EVERY single perfume she had. also, don't forget to have some coffee beans so that they'll clear your senses and the smells won't be distorted. personally, i liked Kenneth Cole-Black, Dolce %26amp; Gabanna- Light Blue, Vera Wang- Princess, ?-Lucky (it's an asian-themed bottle), and Jennifer Lopez- Live...however, i chose Giorgio Armani-Code because it has a really sophisticated and upscale smell without being too sweet or juvenile. anyways, the moral of the story is to try them all before you spend $50+! good luck!

    Can someone please give me some advice on how to negotiate with a car salesmen?

    We are going to a dealership to buy a vehicle today and would like the best deal possible, how do we handle those people?Can someone please give me some advice on how to negotiate with a car salesmen?
    You need to have a firm price in your head as to what you are willing to pay.





    You need to know when to walk away.





    They know all the tricks and financing a car. They'll talk strictly in terms of payments when you need to think about the final amount of interest you're going to pay.





    If you are financing, you need to work out as much of the math before hand to determine your final cost. Take a calculator when you negotiate to see how much your final cost will be. If they say you'll pay $300 for 60 months you'll know what your final car cost will be.





    And walk away when you don't have a deal. Don't get suckered into their quick talk. There are many dealerships out there selling the same or similar car.Can someone please give me some advice on how to negotiate with a car salesmen?
    Check out what you think a fair deal is. If the car is used etc look up the Kelly Blue Book value. That will tell you the best way.
    Take charge. Don't let them walk all over you.





    If you don't like the terms, say so or leave.
    Know what you want. Look up pricing information on the net.


    Never! never buy the first day. Go to different dealers.


    Make your offer. Make your final offer the next day.
    Go up to the dealership on a Sunday, so you don't have them looking over your shoulder. Pick out want you want, and do some reasearch when you get home. Be prepared for the dealer to point you to a ';luxury'; car, so be prepared on what you would say such as ';I want this car'; Once you get back to the paper room, state what you want to pay monthly and you won't have it anymore (remember be very reasonable). And when ';negotiating'; start 2000 less for a newer car and about 500 less for a used car. If they notice you go to low, you'll lose the deal, and they won't ';negotiate at all';. Remember be firm, don't let them take advantage of you and walk all over you. Remember they don't get paid unless you make the buy.
    Don't negotiate at all. Find a car that you are interested in, and make an offer. If you will be financing, tell them what your maximum payment can be monthly. Now, you have to be realistic here. You can't pay $150.00 per month on a mercedes. If you feel that you are not getting what you need, walk away. Be prepared to leave the dealership if need be. Make yourself a promise to not give in to high pressure sales. First and foremost, be prepared to not drive away with a new car if you feel that you did not get a good deal. If you have to have it today, then chances are good that you could get ripped off.
    You know almost every dealer will want to test drive your trade in- the best thing I have ever done is to give them my spare set (just door key %26amp; ignition) if you have ever bought a car before they always tend to ';lose or misplace'; the keys so you cannot leave %26amp; must sit %26amp; negotiate... if I get fed up and want to leave I state it and head for the door they always mention about the lost keys and you can't leave without them, I get out my real set and tell them I am calling the cops over the lost ones to get them back, they always show up immediately- and you are in charge of things instead of them....
    research your best three cars and their known faults. Play down the benefits and play up the downsides. They don't negotiate!, they are working to a profit margin and figure. Keep calm, do not seem too keen, prepare a set of questions beforehand %26amp; if possible have some comparable prices for the models from competitors. If possible take someone who knows about cars with you %26amp; take their advice. Good hunting!

    I have a Harley but know nil about maintaining them. Basic advice on how to learn? How do I meet ppl?

    Since I bought my bike a year ago, I haven't done much to try and learn basics but the thing is I don't even know how to start. And it's really hurting me because problems with my bike are coming up now. I thought the best way is to make friends who ride and hang around them and pick their brain. But even in La Puente where I live I don't know how I can look up bike riders (online or classifieds?). Any words of advice on how I can get a good knowledge? Thanks.I have a Harley but know nil about maintaining them. Basic advice on how to learn? How do I meet ppl?
    For starters, go to a harley dealer and buy/order the service manual for your specific bike. You'll pay for the manual in no time by doing service work yourself.





    As for the socializing aspect, dealerships and biker friendly bars usually have postings of upcoming events. I meet more people when I'm just out riding than any other specific way or function. If you enjoy the ride, you'll find new friends along the way.I have a Harley but know nil about maintaining them. Basic advice on how to learn? How do I meet ppl?
    The best information is in the books. Get a full set of manuals at the dealer. While you're there, find out about the local H.O.G. chapter and read the stuff on the bulletin boards. You find helpful people at charity rides, for some odd reason.
    Join your local HOGS chapter. People are very friendly and will help you out.
    Go on to Amazon.com and buy a book like, Motorcycles fundamentals, service, repair. I have one for the class I take on motorcycles. That's right, I'm majoring in motorcycles.





    There are riding groups that enjoy touring with other motorcycle enthusiasts. Basically, they're clubs and they're easy to join.





    The best thing to do is volunteer as general help to help guys out with motorcycle stuff. Then when you need help ask them.

    What?!!? its only a year old and having problems? As any Harley guy on here will tell you, thats impossible - they haven't had problems since the AMF days - they can go for 100s of thousands of miles without major repairs, they're more powerful than jet aircraft!
    step one, spend the money to get the factory repair manual for your bike. They pretty much have step by step directions for most anything you would want to do yourself on the bike. step two, ask lot's of questions at you local HD dealer and also, try ';HARLEYTECH@YAHOO.COM'; ask lot's of questions and get answers from other riders as well as some HD mechanics.
    hi, you can get the service manual for your bike on ebay real cheap..buy one and flip through it. the are very self explanotory...you will be suprised how much you pick up from it. as for meeting other bikers...just stop into your local harley dealer adn ask them about clubs and any scheduled rides they have coming up...take it from there..

    Take AZOs, drink cranberry juice and exercise to make yourself sweat. AZOs and cranberry juice are to help clean your urinary tract..THC is stored in fat cells, so if you exercise and sweat alot, you remove toxins from your body, including THC. Which obviously is what your urine is being tested for.

    Find a commonality, once without even thinking about it I overheard this girl talking about a thing she liked, later that day I sneakingly talked about it near her just enough for her to be able to hear, she responded to it. Once you have the commonality down don't keep it at that find other commonalities and you should be able to talk to her better, ask her questions yadda yadda yadda.





    If you find the idea of talking to a girl absolutely petrifying, then find a person in their social group that you are more comfortable with and make friends with them, that person doesn't have to be a girl. You will find yourself seeing that person more often then getting comfortable around them, then find that common ground between you two and exploit the hell out of it. Do this good enough and you might even become friends.





    Hope it helpedDoes anyone have just straight advice about how to get girls?
    For most guys it hard very hard to talk to girls. But, you should eventually just do it. See what happened. The results don't really matter. It's not the end of the world if she likes you or not. It's about you overcoming your shyness and talking to girls.

    I want to be kicked out of Europe. Any advice on how to be exiled from the really liberal ones?

    How do you get kicked out of Switzerland or the Netherlands? Without killing someone or anything like that. Nothing too bad please.I want to be kicked out of Europe. Any advice on how to be exiled from the really liberal ones?
    In the Netherlands:





    If you don't have a EU-nationality it is EASY! The only thing you have to do is to overstay your tourist visa and let the police know about this. They will take care of the rest. And if you are really lucky the police might throw in a free 1 or 2 week stay in one of their new detention centres for illegal aliens before the military police drags you to your plane home.





    However, if you are a EU-citizen deportation gets considerably more difficult to achieve. To be honest, the only way for EU-nationals to get kicked out of the Netherlands is by becoming a ';clear and immediate danger to society';. Which usually requires joining a terrorist organization and/or trying to blow up parliament or the Queen. I strongly advise against that sort of thing because you might actually get send to a REAL prison for a 10-20 years before they kick you out. And even worse: You will also be registered on all Interpol and FBI lists and this might seriously complicate all your future foreign travel.I want to be kicked out of Europe. Any advice on how to be exiled from the really liberal ones?
    Easy - tell them you are an American that has always supported the Bush Administration and everything it stands for, especially its AWESOME foreign policy in the Middle East!
    nobody's gonna kick u out from Switzerland unless u do something really bad!!!!
    Since Switzerland is not a part of the EU, my suggestion would be take a plane or train to Paris, and go to the middle of Place de la Bastille during rush hour. Then proceed to burn a large, but visible French flag, while proudly waving a large American one, but make sure to be wearing a large sign that says, ';You would all be speaking German if it wasn't for AMERICA!'; You can add a ';F*** Yeah!'; for a bit of drama if you like. I'm sure you can find a translation website so you can actually write the sign in French for all of those people who have the audacity to not speak English.





    With all I have suggested, if the French do not reinstate beheadings just for you, you will definitely be deported to whatever rat hole you came from.
    Uh, I am not sure if you can get kicked out of a country, why don't you just leave on your own. If you get kicked out they do not give you a parting gift and say don't come back. Do you mean you want to be banned from a country for life? if so, I am not sure that is possible either, especially in the liberal countires of Europe.
    well i dont know about switzerland but in netherlands you can just say something like ';gay is sick'; and they'll burn you at stake...





    ps. i have nothing against gay people, i just thought this answer is humorous
    Why not just leave. Ta Da. Pretty easy isn't it there sparky
    Seek work without a residence or work permit. Be sure the police and immigration authority know you are doing this.

    you have to know why you are doing it and you have to decide if you really want to loose weight. if you really want to do it the only thing stopping you is you. pick a target weight, decide what date you want to be at that weight and then start working to achieve that goal. You also need to commit to eating properly and stay off of the sweet stuff. If you really want to, you can do itCan someone give me some advice on how to motivate myself to excercise?
    4'3 at 135 is HEAVY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i weigh 130 at 5'5 and i am going to lose weight. but anyway my motivation is thinking about showing my abs to everybody and seeing them hate. or inspire somebody to lose it. keep a pic of a model on your mirror.
    just keep reminding yourself why you want to start exercising. put up pictures of yourself when you where thinner. this might help. good luck.

Then proceed to burn a large, but visible French flag, while proudly waving a large American one, but make sure to be wearing a large sign that says, ';You would all be speaking German if it wasn't for AMERICA!'; You can add a ';F*** Yeah!'; for a bit of drama if you like. I'm sure you can find a translation website so you can actually write the sign in French for all of those people who have the audacity to not speak English.





    With all I have suggested, if the French do not reinstate beheadings just for you, you will definitely be deported to whatever rat hole you came from.
    Uh, I am not sure if you can get kicked out of a country, why don't you just leave on your own. If you get kicked out they do not give you a parting gift and say don't come back. Do you mean you want to be banned from a country for life? if so, I am not sure that is possible either, especially in the liberal countires of Europe.
    well i dont know about switzerland but in netherlands you can just say something like ';gay is sick'; and they'll burn you at stake...





    ps. i have nothing against gay people, i just thought this answer is humorous
    Why not just leave. Ta Da. Pretty easy isn't it there sparky

    Can someone give me some advice on how to motivate myself to excercise?

    I use to have a cute and attractive body 4' 3'; tall and about 135 lbs. Now however I am about 170lbs. I have been trying to get motivated to go work out but for some reason what I am doing is just not working. I use to work out six days a week but now things are different. Can you give me any tips on how to get back in the swing of things? Thank you in advace.Can someone give me some advice on how to motivate myself to excercise?
    you have to know why you are doing it and you have to decide if you really want to loose weight. if you really want to do it the only thing stopping you is you. pick a target weight, decide what date you want to be at that weight and then start working to achieve that goal. You also need to commit to eating properly and stay off of the sweet stuff. If you really want to, you can do itCan someone give me some advice on how to motivate myself to excercise?
    4'3 at 135 is HEAVY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i weigh 130 at 5'5 and i am going to lose weight. but anyway my motivation is thinking about showing my abs to everybody and seeing them hate. or inspire somebody to lose it. keep a pic of a model on your mirror.
    just keep reminding yourself why you want to start exercising. put up pictures of yourself when you where thinner. this might help. good luck.

    Starting highschool in Sept. Any advice on how to have a successful school year ?

    What advice would you give to a girl starting Gr.10 ? What would you have changed or done better. Thanks!Starting highschool in Sept. Any advice on how to have a successful school year ?
    I was a sophomore last year and well, i would have done stuff a lot different!





    Sophomore year isn't the most imortant year, but it is the year most people slack off, a LOT! I was in 3 honors and 2 regular classes, and i got 2 B's =( i BARELY brought another 2 B's i had up to A's. I barely studied for anything, and i overworked myself. ( I did tennis, cheerleading, and a school musical, and all at the same time. It SUCKED! Only do two things at most lol) Im not doing cheerleading again haha, and i really wanted to do diving, but i think ill just do tennis and school this year haha.





    Anyways, do not slack off or you'll be trying to bring it up the next two years. Don't do what i did and put talking to people on the top of your list lol. I mean it is good every once in a while, but not everyday. Plus, dont do what i did and wait till 12 or 1 o'clock to do your homework, then realize that you're tired and then hope that you can copy someone the next day or do it during another class haha. Also, try studying for your tests! I found that in 10th grade they start preping you for college, even in the regular classes. Like in regular world history our tests were mult choice and about 25-30 fill in the blank (without a word bank), and a few short answer questions!!! Chemistry tests were probably the best because they were all mult choice, but it was honors, eek. I noticed too that EVERYONE, or at least 90% of my class started to actually try AFTER their sophomore year. Well, it hasnt started yet, but a lot of people picked challenging courses that i would have never expected them to! But that just goes to show that you'll be ahead of the game if you start really trying this year and not waiting for the next year!





    Im more pepped for this years courses though, i am determined to get straight A's even if it kills me, or basically till i can do no more!





    Study, Dont slack off, and also try to have *fun* at the same time =D





    **sorry forgot to say fun lolStarting highschool in Sept. Any advice on how to have a successful school year ?
    I was a sophomore last year, and it was the hardest school year for me yet.


    When people start highschool as freshmen, they are still trying to figure out who they want to be in highschool. Sophomore year, they've a better idea, and most people change. Friends grow apart, and you find yourself to be a different person!


    My advice would be to branch out. People you've known forever may not be the same people this year, so don't be afraid to make new friends.


    Hope this helps!


    Best of luck.
    Success in school becomes much easier once you’ve gotten organized. Keeping your schedule up to date and all your work in one place can provide room in your busy brain for learning and studying, instead of wasting time or losing work. Check out Office Live Workspace for a great back to school tool. It offers you the ability to create, save, access, and share documents and files online for free. There is even a plug-in for MS Office that lets you save your files to your online Workspace directly from whichever Office program you are using. That way, it will automatically back up your file online, and you can simply access them from any other computer with internet access. Never worry about forgetting your essay at home or being unaware of assignments’ due dates.

    Can anyone give me some advice on how to become successful?

    I have been plundering my mind for years trying to find a way to become sucessful. Maybe I'm just not doing things and would like some help on getting on the right path. I have an associates degree in business. I am managing a printing company, but i'm only making 23000 a year . I'm really considering finding something else or even going back to school. Can someone give me some advice on stabalizing myself?Can anyone give me some advice on how to become successful?
    There are so many definitions and factors many considered in being successful. Some people measure it in terms of money, job satisfaction, their impact on others, being at the top level, or giving back to the community.





    If you measure being success by financial ends, or getting to the top you should work on building relations with people working in areas you want to excel in. That way when opportunities become available they will remember you and reccommend you for the job.





    Also you if you find your niche, consider coming up with unique, different, yet effective ideas and strategies that make you stand out from your competition.





    Focus on your employees, listen to their input, and implement plans to increase job performance.





    You can go back to school for you bachelor's, and even a masters. There's no guarantee you will receive a higher salary, but you can take classes to develop and improve skills which can help you become more successful.





    I think it comes down to utilizing your resources, networking, and working hard. There's no exact time frame for achieving success but these strategies can increase your chance of becoming successful.





    Like I said earlier, it really depends on what you define ';success'; to be.





    I wish you good luck on your future endeavors.Can anyone give me some advice on how to become successful?
    First you set an income, then you look for careers that offer the money you are looking for and get the training.
    There is a great article posted on this blog that I think says alot about success. It lays out several things that will help you to succeed.
    Going back to school is never a bad option, but it IS an expensive one. Depending on where you live, you may be able to find a good tech school, or a less-expensive four-year college, or even a top notch school that costs a bit more. Looking into student loans may help with all of those schools.





    But going to school isn't for everyone. You have to figure out for yourself whether or not you're ready for the commitment, and how it may affect your current job, as far as the hours you have to put in.





    Beyond that, if you decide not to go to school, start looking around for other good positions that may take advantage of your skills and degree. Is there room to move up in your current company? Develop ideas for your printing company, something that will help make things more efficient, or bring a new product to light. Update your resume in case you find something better somewhere else. If you're willing to move, you may find that the better jobs are in another city or state.





    Another thing you may want to do is check with your local colleges and see if any of them offer career counseling to the public. I worked as a career development counselor for a while, and there are a lot of ideas and ways to figure things out for yourself in a career center.





    Good luck!
    Believe it or not, becoming successful at anything you do starts first in your mind and your belief. There are so many books available that were written by very successful people who explain the mental exercises you need to do in order to find success. Every millionaire and billionaire out there says the same thing. So if you look into how they ';think'; instead of ';what they do';, you can find yourself getting into the proper mindset.


    One book I highly recommend is called Secrets of the Millionaire Mind by T Harv Eker. He also offers many courses on this exact subject.


    Just by reading your question, I know it's only a matter of time until you find success. The jumped the biggest hurdle by knowing that there's more out there, you just have to find it.


    If you would like to talk more about this, feel free to email me.
    Think over what interests you in life. Is it business - or is it something else? Attend a job fair if one opens nearby. This is a good way to learn what is out there. Also, visit a private employment office and talk with someone about high paying jobs.





    Here are a few high-paying jobs:


    Accountant


    Estate manager


    Sales copywriter


    Certified physical therapist


    Baker


    Technical writer





    Once a person finds what he or she wants to do, it is vital never to give up. Usually at the moment of greatest doubt, success is right around the corner.

    I think we made it with crystal light lemonade, or some of those frozen juice cans of lemonade or pink lemonade. Then pour vodka and beer in. Sounds so weird but tastes great.

    Does anyone have any good advice on how to looose weight?

    I need to know of a diet that will help me loose weight .Does anyone have any good advice on how to looose weight?
    Don't target losing more than about 2 lbs per week. If you try to lose faster, your body will go into ';starvation mode'; and get very stingy about burning calories while at the same time very efficient about storing any calories that you do provide. And it will make you feel awful.





    There is no site specific way of losing fat... the old myth about working your abs to burn belly fat isn't true. To get rid of love handles, you need to lose overall fat. That happens with exercise and watching your diet. More on that below.





    The most effective way to lose fat is aerobic exercise in the ';moderate'; fat-burning range, ideally first thing in the morning before you eat. When you wake your body is ready to burn fat and your levels of growth hormone are highest at that time. Later in the day it can take up to 30 minutes just to put your body into a fat-burning mode.





    Another overlooked way to burn fat is by lifting weights. Skeletal muscle has very high caloric needs... almost twice that of adipose (fat) tissue. Put on a little muscle and you will burn calories all day even at rest. Be aware that skeletal muscle weighs more, so with this approach you may see your weight increasing while your body fat is melting away. Not realizing this often stresses folks who think they should be losing weight as a measure of fitness. Forget the scale, look in the mirror and you will be happy.





    To lose a pound of fat, you need to eliminate about 3500 calories. You can do this by burning more with exercise or by modifying your diet to reduce intake. If you do a Google search on say, ';swimming calories'; you will quickly find a website with tables of calories burned for a given exercise. You can use such lists to estimate how many calories you are burning up with your routine.





    For diet, keep a diary for a couple of weeks counting calories, grams of protein, and grams of fat intake. It is easy with online sources of nutritional information (type the name of the food and calories into the Google search engine) and packaging labels. That will let you quickly figure out where the fat is coming from in your diet.





    Fat gives you 9 calories per gram. So take the number of grams of fat, multiply by 9, then calculate what percentage the fat calories are of your total daily calories. Restricting the calories from fat to about 20% of your total intake is ideal for a maintenance diet... that isn't overly restrictive. Of note, you need some fat in your diet. For instance, the body uses fat to produce hormones. Once you have a picture of how to modify your diet, you can drop the diary and just go back to it occasionally if you are wanting to tweek things further.





    There is a subset of questions that goes further and asks about ';How to get a six-pack?'; The answer is the same. Six-packs are 20% abdominal exercise and 80% diet. There is one caveat... abdominal muscles will form in the position that you work them, so be certain to pull them tightly toward your spine while doing crunches, etc. Also, during most lifting, the ';core is active'; which means that you should be stabilizing with contracted abs then too. Fail to do this and the abs will form, but bulging outward and the result is not attractive.





    If you are trying to build muscle as a way to lose fat, then you may need to increase total calories and specifically your protein intake. I target about 0.8 g of protein per pound of body weight each day when actively building. That is far more protein than most people need in their diets.








    AlohaDoes anyone have any good advice on how to looose weight?
    Try eating only healthy foods and exercising every day.
    Eat low fat, low sugar foods such as veggies and fruit, pretty much as much as you want. Then eat only one or two pieces of bread (whole wheat, mutigrain, no white bread) a day. Chicken, fish, lean beef, wild game, eggs, some sort of protien. Beans are also great for you. Stay away from baked potatoes. Try brown rice instead. Yams are good substitue for baked potatoes with a little butter and no brown sugar. Also stay away from anything containing High Fructose Corn Syrup. It's in more things than you think. Don't use aspertame or other artificial sweeteners. Use Stevia to sweeten things or organic cane sugar. Try and drink six cups of green tea per day or buy a green tea supplement. You can have dairy, but limit it to 2% milk fat or lower. Yogurt is fine but one a day is best. It has lots of sugar in it, especially the lowfat or no fat kind. Don't eat fast food unless its subway or the like and don't drink soda, diet or regular. No candy. Now, with all that said, give yourself one day to eat anything you want all day. This will keep you from screwing up all week and give you something to look forward to. You will find that with time, you will even eat healthy on those days. Dieting is a bad word, you need to call it a change of lifestyle, or a healthier way of eating. People don't stay on diets so if you approach it as a lifestyle change you are more likely to stick with it. Also you need to exercise. Start with walking 2-3 miles per day at a pace that increases your heart rate. Heres the formula. Take your age and subtract it from 220. Then figure out what 55% of that number is. You need to get your heart rate up to that number for 20-30 minutes 4-5 days per week. Never go past 85% of that number, its too much. Depending upon your weight, walking or swiming in a pool may be better for you. Also, a tredmill may be a good option as it is more cushioned than the ground. Sarting a weight lifting routine will help as well. A sample menu for a day would be: Breakfast - one egg, one piece of toast, an apple and some orange juice. 2-3 hours later: yogurt or a piece of fruit (protien shake or bar works as well). Lunch: Chicken breast, rice, salad with low fat dressing (fat is needed to help your body process the nutrients in the veggies). 2-3 hours later - protien shake or fruit or baked whole grain crakers with 1% milk fat cheese. Dinner - Fish, sweet potato, black beans and a whole wheat role. Eat a banana or veggie a little before bed. I guarantee if you chage your eating habits and use some of this info it will help. But you must exercise as well. No diet or food plan will do it all. Plus, some things wok for others and not for some. You may have to modify it a bit, but the principals are sound. email me with questions and good luck. You must motivate yourself to stay with it. If you really want to loose weight, you have to make it happen.
    the atkins diet..I lost 60 pounds on it!
    I use an online dietary planner for my nutrition class called diet analysis plus, you type in the foods you eat and it shows you how many nutrients you get, your percent of fat intake, calorie count, everything. Planning out your meals through the food guide pyramid may not help you loose weight as fast as some diets, but in the end you'll be healthier.
    Work out and don't eat from fast food restaurants. (at least not very often)
    loosing weight is again a mind makr up!!hw strongly u feel on loosing those extra pounds!once u have decided in your mind make a schedule for your self for exercise and food chart. please eat healthy food less of fried and sweats more of vegetables and fruits,added with skimmed milk products.
    eat often, but small meals and NO fast food, go work out or any sports activities, don't try to loose it fast, u'll gaine faster, better to go slowly, I started going to gym this march, I lost 10 pounds, I look and feel better
    Weight Watchers. I lost 35 pounds on that diet.
    Food in moderation, and excercise is always the best ';diet';. Make sure you're looking at the serving sizes on food labels (i.e. did you know that 1 slice of bread is a serving?), and get at least 30 minutes of heart pumping excercise a day. You'll lose the weight slowly, but you're more likely to keep it off in the long run. Studies show that women who lose weight quickly (more than an average 2-3lbs a week) are MORE likely to gain the weight AND MORE back! So go for a behavorial modification: Love yourself, eat right, and excercise regularly. Diets simply don't work for long term results.
    weight watchers. I love it, I lose weight each week. I am not suffering. You can do it online instead of going to meetings. I think I paid 65 for 3 months.





    Of course reduce caloric intake and increase activity. That is how you lose weight. Burn more than you eat.
    i agree with her too. or run like mad till sunset! works gr8 4 my friend. or u walk everyday 5 laps. until u loose a few pounds then u buy this strip that costs like about 100 QR and the doctor puts it 4 u. there r so many stuff email me 4 more.
    Try the abs diet. It works great, and its not a diet, its a different way of eating that you actually like. My boyfriend and I love it. You even get a cheat day where you can eat anything you want, I lost like 5 pounds in about 8 days.
    My husband lost about 35 lbs so far:

    Need advice on how to sell a duplex in a tight Real Estate market?

    Please give me some suggestoins on how can I sell in a buyers market? I bought brand new a duplex last year and I owe 320K on it and it appraises for 350K. I have it listed for 335K so I can pay the relators commission. I am not behind on the payments so most investors are not interested in it since its not a distressed property. It needs no work or rehab. Eventaully, it will start hurting me financially because I had to kick the tenants out 2 months ago for non payment. I am looking for more tenants but it's not easy. I have it listed with the agent, it's advertised in the local newpaper, and on craigs list for almost 2 months and only 2 people have called about it. How can I get more exposure and get it sold as quickly as possible? I'm ready to move on from this investment.Need advice on how to sell a duplex in a tight Real Estate market?

    You get rid of your current realtors, and give me a call instead. (510) 596-3526
    Owner finance
    First, what all does your agent do for you? Does he/she hold open houses in it, do they send out flyers, is it only listed on his site, or does he have it listed on a MLS site? He/she should have given you a marketing plan when you listed. You can call him even and ask what he is doing with it. Open houses are not always great for selling a single family home, but actually they are okay for a duplex, or quad. something like that. The reason is sometimes families will move in on one side and move their elderly parents in on the other. Unless you know people that could be interested in buying it, you yourself cannot do much. By the way, what is your commission agreement with the Realtor? I figured the average (6%) and even if you sell it at 335, you'll still have to come up with money just to pay him, not including your portion of the closing costs.





    You may just need to find some good renters. If you could just rent it for what your monthly payments are it will help you financially each month. Which you can still do. Even though the realtor is trying to sell it you could still put a For Rent sign up and rent it until it sells. If you do, charge them first, and last month's rent plus a cleaning deposit, so if they don't pay you'll still be okay for that 30 days after the eviction noitice before they leave. It takes special people who are not investors to buy a duplex. I am very sorry to say that to you.

    Also, you might consider trying an over-the counter allergy medicine. Whether your symptoms are related to a cold (which doesn't sound very likely, as you don't mention any fever), or a budding allergic reaction to pollen or other spring-time ';stuff'; in the air, these will help you feel less stuffy, which will help your throat. Take a non-drowsy medication (like Clariten) during the day, and Benedryl (which will help you sleep better) at night.


    Ibuprofen as directed will also help your throat.


    An herbal tea called ';throat coat'; is a great sore throat soother.

    You can always request a written quote beforehand, and specifiy in the contract that final bill will not exceed quote by 10%, or something like that.

My son owns his own construction company %26amp; I know he writes a contract up for the work you would need done %26amp; then you agree to it %26amp; he spells it all out. He puts what work will be done, when it will be done by, how much it will cost. Then he gets a certain amount down, %26amp; a certain amount at different intervals. When you e-mail remind me what question was about.
    Either establish accounts with multiple specialty contractors or find a ';facilities maintenance'; contractor that handles all (in truth, most of them do it by subbing out the various specialty trades).
    Just call three different companies that perform the same duties and get a proposed hourly rate. Plumbers and electricians are expensive, In CA I pay $95 per hour for plumber and $45 for electrician. Dont get a fly by night company, get somebody who is reputable in your area. It will save you alot of headaches down the road.

    Any advice on how to pair side dishes with which main dishes?

    I would recommend doing a search for a recipes on the Food Network website to find similar matches from a show on their network. You will always find recipes from the show, which were intended to be side dishes.





    The next thing is to use Wikipedia for classical meal pairings. If you did a search for Bangers, you will probably find Bangers and Mash, the classic British sausage disk.





    The other thing to do is to think about what you've had at restaurants. If you go out to a restaurant and eat certain things that you love to eat, take your time while eating them to read the menu's description of them and the tastes that you find. That's one of the best way's I've learned to make some of my favorite side dishes.





    Hope that helps :).

    Any advice on how to keep my fish tank water crystal clear?

    Even though I frequently change my freshwater fishtank's filter once a month, the water never gets back to that crystal clear clairity it was when I first added the water- It seems to have a permanant haze-Any advice? HOW do i keep the water crystal clear? The filter must not be enough- how often should I change the water and wash/replace the gravel?


    I have a 10 gallon tank with fresh water goldfish...Any advice on how to keep my fish tank water crystal clear?
    Goldfish can be very dirty and your diet also will make a difference.


    You did not mention your filter make or model or if you have more than one, so I will give you basic advice and point out that these points taken as a whole is great, however following as many as possible within your budget is fine.





    *Proper Water changes; change water using a gravel vacuum up to 50% per week.


    *Rinse filter media in used tank water, never tap and again as regularly as possible.


    *Make sure ammonia, nitrites are 0


    *Make sure you have a KH and GH of at least 100 ppm for goldfish


    *A larger tank is better for goldfish; if possible a 40 or bigger would help


    *More than one filters for redundancy.


    *consider a good bio filter including the often misunderstood Sponge Filter (one of the best here according to side by side bio studies)


    *consider the Redox Potential, lesser known parameter that affects water quality and clarity


    *UV Sterilization, no cost effective for your size aquarium, however 90% effective for your problem in larger more cost effective aquariums.


    *Better feeding procedures; Use foods with quality ingredients such as Sanyu or Hikari and avoid cheap foods like TetraFin that mostly ';pass right on thru';


    Also feed what the fish will consume in under three minutes twice per day.

    Good luck!Any advice on how to keep my fish tank water crystal clear?
    Well the reason that your tank is never clear is because you have goldfish in a 10 gallon tank. Goldfish are dirty fish that produce a lot of waste. One goldfish needs 10 gallons to him self.





    To help reduce this problem (aside from getting rid of fish) is to buy a gravel suction. This works wonderfully for cleaning the gravel and removing about 25% of the water which is what you should be changing weekly. Never remove all of the water as that is hard on the fish and you lose beneficial bacteria. Also it can actually make things worse because it will cause a bacterial bloom.





    My favortie filter is the aqua clear. It keeps my tank so clean. For your tank you will want the Aqua Clear 30.





    Good luck
    I have heard that if you keep the tank out of sunlight it will keep it from getting as dirty as sun breeds bacteria. Have you also tried the addative from the pet store that I think is called crystal clear. Or something along that nature.
    Every goldfish needs 10 gallons of space as a baby, and 20 as an adult. If you have more than one fish in your tank, that is your first problem. Goldfish are DIRTY fish, and need a lot of water to dilute their waste products.





    You should also get a filter more powerful than you need. If you have one that's made for 10-20 gallons, get the 20-30 gallon filter.





    Finally, use lots and lots of bacteria supplement liquid. You can find it at any petstore in the fish section. Follow the directions and use it with every single water change.





    You should never clean the gravel at the same time you replace the filter. I suggest you replace the filter, wait 2 weeks, and gravel vac the bottom of the tank. Then wait 2 more weeks and replace the filter again. Put more bacteria in when you do both, and also with every water change. You should also be using a tap water conditioner with every water change.





    Try to avoid using water clearing chemicals or ammonia neutralizers- those make the water worse, more often than not. Also, make sure you keep your tank at goldfish temperatures. Goldfish like it in the 50-65 degree range- NOT in the 70s like tropical fish!
    i have had my fish tank up for over 7 years and i have yet to wash the gravel or break it down . because a well maintained fish tank should never need broken down





    normally cloudy water is a common issue with new setup . that has yet to achive the correct bio . also to much feeding is also a leading cause .





    also changing your filter once a month is far to often , you want the filter to grow bacteria . for the fish . i know sounds gross but trust me on this . i pull my filter out ounce a month , rinse it and put it back , i have been using the same filter for about 9 months now . and my water is still crystal clear ..
