Hi. A member of my family suffers quite severely from Seasonal Affective Disorder, so I want to get them a...?
sun lamp. Any recommendations? I was thinking about a Philips HF3330 goLite Blu Energy SAD Light, but I'm definitely open to suggestions.
2 AnswersMental Health8 years agoI accidently deleted all the information (contacts, music, important texts) on my iphone syncing it with?
a new computer, what can I do? As of now, it was slightly more than 24 hours ago. I've already tried 'sync address book contacts' and 'restore from backup' and they haven't worked...
Thanks for helping out.
1 AnswerCell Phones & Plans9 years agoI have a mac, on which I have recently updated from Snow- Leopard to Lion. Since doing that, Microsoft Word...?
Excel and Power Point all don't work. When I try to open any of them, or open anything with them, it says Power PC Applications are no longer supported and I don't know why. What does this mean and what do I do? Thanks for your help.
1 AnswerSoftware9 years agoI can't get the blank DVD in my Apple to come out...?
It's not on my desk top, nor anywhere else that I can find. Any shortcuts or forced exits?
2 AnswersOther - Computers10 years agoHello all! I am in dire need of your assistance. My computer...?
keeps telling me that there was a media test failure, check cable, possibly to do with with the PCI ethernet controller (I think) and basically won't switch on properly. Can I do anything, or do I have to take it to the shop?
1 AnswerSoftware10 years agoSomeone I met just informed me that a Muslim woman can give a picture of herself without a headscarf...?
to a man if he wants to know what she looks like before marrying her. Frankly, I'm quite skeptical, but since this has apparently been acted on by more than one of his friends, I wanted to check and Google isn't being very helpful. If it is true, please provide sources.
12 AnswersRamadan1 decade agoWhere in London can I buy sheet silver?
I don't want to order it, I need to be able to go see it. It's urgent! Thank you all.
2 AnswersOther - Visual Arts1 decade agoI just saw the Pope entering and then leaving a mosque in Jordan on the news...?
and no-one, not him or his entourage (including some Arabs) took off their shoes, and they were definitely outside in them first. My question is (unless someone can tell me that the floor was actually covered in a thin layer of plastic, which would be better), whom could I most effectively write to to protest against this gross breach of etiquette (to put it mildly)?
Thanks and salaams.

1 AnswerDrawing & Illustration1 decade agoYou'll like this riddle, you riddling riddlers!?
The first one to completely answer this (that involves 4 sub-answers! Or 3, depending on how you look at it). No fair looking it up.
All living in one house were strange brothers three,
As unlike as any three brothers could be,
Yet try as you may to tell brother from brother,
You'll find that the trio resemble each other,
The first isn't there, though he'll come beyond doubt,
The second's departed, so he's not about,
The third and the smallest is right on the spot,
And manage without him the others could not.
Yet the third is a factor with which to be reckoned,
Because the first brother turns into the second.
You cannot stand back and observe number three,
For one of the others is all you will see.
So tell me my child, are the three of them one?
Or are there but 2? Or could there be none?
Just name them and you will at once realise
That each rule a kingdom of infinite size.
They rule it together and are it as well,
In that they're alike, so where do they dwell?
(apologies for my punctuation btw)

2 AnswersHobbies & Crafts1 decade agoWhere do I learn fine carpentry?
I live in London, and I've always loved working with wood, but have never had much opportunity to pursue it further. Where can I go to learn the more decorative art of woodwork? I.e. Formal dining chairs and inlaid boxes rather than installing skirting boards? I know it's not as practical, but it's what I'm most interested in.
3 AnswersOther - Education1 decade agoI would think that if you were to marry someone who worked away from home A LOT...?
(e.g. an engineer for an oil company), the more you loved them the harder it would be to be with them, because they would be away so much. How true is this? And while all contributions are welcome, I'm sending this out especially to everyone with experience of this. Help! Thank you.
5 AnswersOther - Family & Relationships1 decade agoHi. I'm considering marrying an engineer for an oil company. What would I be letting myself in for?
Well, its like what it says above, except that he's actually a couple of interviews away from being one. I just want to know what that life is like. He says that the companies told him that they are very considerate about letting employees stay fixed when they have families, but others I've spoken to say this just isn't what happens. Also, they said that what would happen would be him going out to the oil rigs for 1 or 2 weeks, and coming back for 1 or 2 etc. What's this like, both before and after kids?
