What are some good medical research websites? I guess not necessarily actual R+D type research, but more of reference sites...

You have access to EBSCOhost?

webMD, wikipedia. I've used those to learn more about my Crohn's. The support group forum I visit might be able to help you. healingwell.com dunno what subsection you'd want, but there's a LOT of subsections so you can probably find someone who knows a good resource site.

The worst feel is when you get dirt in your mouth. Its gritty, it rubs against your gums and feels terrible.

How hard is it to get around Norway, Finland, and/or Sweden while only speaking English?

**BaneTheBrawler** · 2012-10-25 00:06

I can't imagine it'd be too hard. They're part of the EU, English is still the dominant trade language in the world, and I would imagine much of their tourism is from English speaking nations. In the cities anyway. Rurally... you'd probably run into some difficulties.

**Haunted** · 2012-10-25 05:13

Personally I found it very easy to visit the three only speaking english. I did however only visit major cities, so smaller towns etc might be more difficult, but I didn't meet a single person who didn't speak english in any of the three. I'm pretty sure English is taught as a second language in all of Scandinavia, and unlike some other countries, they all seem very happy to practice their English talking to you.

Also, Finnish girls are hot, I"ll have you know.

**Nekonaruto** · 2012-10-25 08:46

Yeah, I can confirm both those things: the chicks are hot and virtually 99% of the population is fluent in English in those 3 countries.

Everyone once in a while my internet "hiccups" and things become sluggish for a bit/don't work and it's annoying.

I check the router page and I see some of these here and there which may be coinciding with the times it happens. (It seems anyway)

Anything going on? Or is the internet just freaking out.

**BaneTheBrawler** · 2012-10-25 16:29

Mine also sometimes slows down to a crawl and then sometimes fails entirely. Resetting my modem usually works. I always thought it was my ISP throttling my connection, since it usually happens after I've been running a torrent for a while.

**Jefe** · 2012-10-25 16:36

Hmm, probably has to do w/ your ISP's CDNs. I wouldn't worry about it. I'd contact the ISP if the dcing gets annoying though.

Gotcha thanks.

So, a lot of people have been telling me how good looking I am and that I should go into modeling. Is that a good idea and what does that entail exactly?

**hey** · 2012-10-26 17:27

Here ya go, we just had a thread about that.

posting pics of yourself naked online of course!

This is a random question, yet gaming related!
I have a PS3, but might be getting a new one due to my current one slowly crapping out and no longer under warranty.
If I get a new PS3 am I going to be able to just put in my psn id and password into it and that will be that? Or is there something that stops me from doing that? Like will I have to end up wiping my old PS3 or go through crazy hoops to get it going on a new system?

**hey** · 2012-10-26 22:47

If you don't care about any of the data on the hdd, yeah, that's it. There's a transfer tool to copy the entire hdd, or you can copy your saves over manually, if you do.

Is there a way to find someone using their phone number for free or do you have to pay for that kind of thing

**Orden** · 2012-10-30 15:50

If they have their phone number public on their facebook you can search them by their phone number, if you just want their general location and other identifying information.

**Orden** · 2012-10-30 16:25

I got a job! Yay me. No more unemployment. Is it wise to apply to jobs citing my new tentative work hours as off limits or should I wait until next week orientation and figure out what my hours might actually look like before trying to find a second job? It's good to capitalize on good things by building momentum. A lot of places are hiring seasonal workers right now. As it stands I will be working 4am-11am Monday thru Thursday. What do you guys think? I want to have two jobs soon.

I would suggest trying to find a second job now, because it might take time to find it regardless. Also, if you know your first job doesn't have weekend hours then its easy to look for a job that will cover that time, I suppose it depends the type of work you are looking for. If you are sending resumes/written information I would just wait for a phone or in-person interview to talk about your availability. If you are filling out forms that ask, try to be as honest as possible, how many hours do you want to work and the most accurate view of your current schedule. Depends on the type of job you are looking for how much this will be an issue, also your willingness to work late shifts/weekends.
