    How do I make a dining room table without using metal hardware?

    I'd like to make a dining room table using traditional woodworking techniques and would like to know if anyone had plans for one available. I was thinking about replacing the screws with dowels/wood glue to hold the legs/border together, then something similar to hold the table top to the...

    New Teacher

    Part of growing up is to learn to handle our emotions and deal in the real world. You are in a transitional stage at the moment, when your emotions, ie anger and resentment are a bit out of your control. Do you play sport? Often all we need is a spell each day of really hard intense physical...

    Has anyone ever heard this? I'm blown away!

    It is quite possible that stress hormones can affect the baby in the worab. There was a study done (I forget where) that showed there was a higher incidence of homosexuals and transgendered people born during and just after a war. It is an intriguing thought....

    Does anyone have this?

    Garrett puts it very well. Anxiety can mimic most dread conditions quite effectively. I was convinced that I was getting a neurological disease with symptoms of tingling, nurabness and weakness. This went on for months, and it was horrible. Keep calm and develop a mantra, such as "I have had...

    Afraid to go away on holidays

    I think this fear will last until you hit the open road, then it will go. I used to (and still do, a little) feel this way before every trip, plane ride, whatever. The only thing that lowers the anxiety level in the long term is the memory of having done it many times before. Tell yourself that...

    Okay kinda sick but need help!

    I think you had a cyst. What will probably happen now is that it will heal up if you do what the other poster said, and then it will gradually fill up again and the same thing will happen. If you go to a doctor with it, it can actually be excised and will be gone forever. I had one in the same area.

    Increasing pain in Hand

    There is a major tendon in the area which you describe. Repeated trauma to the hanRAB can trigger tendonitis here. This can lead to a condition called Dupuytren's contracture which is scarring from this inflammation that causes the tendon to harden and contract (like a hard rubber band). I can...

    Fiance an Alcoholic what to do?

    You cannot fix this man, no matter how hard you work at it. The best thing you can do is go along to some Al-Anon meetings, and learn all about alcoholism and its effect on the people around the alcoholic. The bottom line is that HE must want to stop drinking enough to tackle the problem. Like...

    It is probably a little cyst rather than a pimple. Can you go to a dermatologist. You can have them removed.

    Diagnosis for blood in stool, weight loss, fatigue

    Go and have a colonoscopy. If there is anything going on in the bowel, that should pinpoint it. I am surprised that your doctor didn't refer you for this at the beginning. There are many conditions that will couse these symptoms, so get it checked out. Good luck, Sera

    Is this a varicose vein? Please help.

    It looks just like a large surface vein. A varicose vein has weakened walls and sort of collapses and looks irregular and knotty. Your vein is smooth and undamaged. If it doesn't hurt or throb it is probably OK.

    Chest pain, shortness of breath, FATIGUE, palpitations...PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

    Check out Supraventricular tachycardia. It can be a stress-induced paroxysm of heart palpitations and comes on suddenly with the symptoms you describe. The effects can last for days, but it can be hard to diagnose since the rapid heartbeats have usually settled down by the time you see the ER...

    Why is everything a popularity contest in highschool?

    Why is it that a "good character award" actually seems to be more of a "popularity award". A total jerk received a good character award not to long ago and she just didn't deserve it. (Trust me, she didn't). There is a guy in my grade though that is as shy as anyone can get and yet is not afraid...
