Im due to give birth in 9 weeks time and my babys father doesnt want to know.i dont want any child support or maintainance off him what so ever.if i dont put his name on the birth certificate does he have any legal rights at all?
In my opinion, establishing paternity is VERY important, even if you don't want anything to do with the father. You may find that you need the child support--raising a child for 18+ years is expensive. And at the very least, you don't want the father to change his mind a few years down the line, file paternity and request that he is given legal rights. At the very least, DNA...

Greenhouse gases, as you mentioned, can trap heat by preventing heat from bouncing off the earth's surface back into space.

We have laws to protect children. Good. We accept that children should not be sexually abused. Again Good. What is it that we fear that sex will do to children when we protect them so carefully? Why is it different from sports in its accepted dangers?
By definition, sex with children IS sexual abuse because children cannot consent to sexual activity. Minors don't have the same autonomy over their decisions because they are not yet adults and do not have the maturity and legal capability to make decisions for themselves, like the decision to have sex.

Do you have any thoughts on a solution to the rising cost of gas and food in America? People rob and kill other people just because they like that persons shoes. What's it going to be like when we are desperate to feed our families?
I'd be more worried about riots in other countries than here. The US is a very rich country, so when we have to scale back on food, that means buying less meat or buying less expensive food, not going hungry. Now, if you are a poor person in Africa or Mexico and you live off of mostly corn or rice, if those prices increase, your only choice is to eat less rather than less expensive food....

Is it ever a great idea to get a tubal ligation at the age of 28 years old?
Well, some might call me a nut, but it makes much more sense for a man to get a vasectomy. Doctors will usually only perform sterilization procedures on someone who has already had children. So usually, the woman has already given birth to children, and men's vasectomy procedures are much easier and an outpatient procedure.

Not trying to be gross, but I've heard of the no shampoo method.Scientist say that if you can hold out on shampooing your hair for 6wks.It will go back to it's natural state and be healthier without smelling bad.Has anyone ever tried this?
I'm sure you COULD go without washing your hair, but I don't see a good reason to do so. Unwashed hair does hold odors because of the oil. The scalps of people who don't wash their hair (like homeless people) are gross--ask any hair stylist who has gone through beauty school!

Hm, it's a little unlikely that you'd become pregnant so soon BUT the only way to make sure you don't is to use protection. Breastefeeding and other methods you may have heard are not always effective.

Going from black to blonde is VERY difficult and expensive because you will have to strip the black and then try to get to blonde. You might have to go to an intermediate shade before blonde. Try calling a salon and asking for quotes--be prepared to shell out cash!
Answer to:
Yesterday at the doctors office the doctors scale reads 5 more lbs than I am. Who's is right?
First off, you have to compare whether or not you are wearing the same amount of clothes when you use doctor scale vs your scale. second, precision is more important than accuracy...if you weigh yourself at home and you are consistently losing or maintaining weight, that's good. Look for overall patters instead of a number.

Some women prop a pillow under their butt to help the fluids flow in the right direction but I'm not sure if there is any scientific evidence to support this.

I quit taking my birth control a month ago and now my period is 6 days late, but a neg hpt. I did have unprotected sex in the past month, and have never taken my bc on time for 2 years..what r the chances of me being pregnant?
If I were you, I'd buy a few more HPTs and have them stashed at home for future use. Take another HPT in a few days to reassure yourself.
Taking BC irregulary decreases its effectiveness. Now that you are off it you should use another form of BC like condoms to avoid pregnancy and STDs.

Just remember that you didn't gain the weight overnight, so you can't lose it overnight either. If the weight comes off slowly that is OK...that way it is more likely you can sustain the weight loss instead of losing it fast and gaining it back fast.

I've just started to exercise a lot more for the upcoming track season, but my "time of month" has gotten very irregular and well it's annoying to deal with. Why is it so irregular, and is there a way to help this problem?
You should see a doctor. Some women experience menstrual irregularities when they start exercising more, but it shouldn't be considered normal. In the past, loss of menstruation due to exercise/training was considered normal, but new studies say that it can and should be treated by seeing a doctor and modifying your training/diet accordingly.

I have a daughter that is 14 and she has been asked out by a 18 year old senior.I think this is a very bad idea and wrong and think that it would be better to nip this relationship in the bud. Is that wrong?
I agree with you--there is a big difference between a 14 yr old and a 18 yr old. Usually the 18 yr old wants to take advantage of the younger person, whether they consciously know it or not.
The only problem is, if you ban your daughter from seeing him, she may rebel and see him secretly. Hard to deal with.

If you truly want to lose the weight and keep it off, it probably won't come off quickly. You didn't gain the weight in a week and you won't lose it in a week either. Focus on eliminating junk foods, eating more fruits and veggies, and exercising on a regular basis. It's much easier to say than do but if you do that you'll be on a good start.

Unless you are seriously ill or are a high risk group (asthma, compromised immune system, etc) I say wait it out. If you go to the doc and they determine it is the flu, they may be able to prescribe an antiviral like Tamiflu but it doesn't do that much. It has to be taken within 2 days of being sick and it only reduces the time you are sick by 1-2 days.

At some point, you have to decide whether you will put up with it or not. You and your husband need to come to a joint decision about this, otherwise, it'll turn into "good cop, bad cop" where all the blame will be laid upon you. In any case, if you let him continue this way, you are enabling his bad behavior and it ultimately hurts him and the rest of your family in th ened.

Yes, it's easy to use and a lot of people can do their taxes just fine with TT. If you need more detailed guidance from a professional, go to a CPA, not H&R Block. With H&R you might as well be using TT because they aren't very trained.

Why do many younger people (teens to thirties) think they have the right, and furthermore, the experience (ha!) to tell older people (40 and above) what the "appropriate" dress and behavior should be for us?
Well, there are clothes that aren't appropriate on anyone. And also, I do think there are guidelines for what flatters people of different ages. At some point an older woman wearing clothes made for a 16 year old can look desperate.

Well I have Kidney failure, Do you think that being in a Sauna would help sweat out toxins and extra water weight? If so how much do they cost to build and electricity? Just wondering if this would make me feel better.
I definitely recommend speaking with your physician before trying saunas, Doctor B.
But Yarnlady, I have some problems with the information you provided. First of all, the information is from an advert for a home sauna which makes it biased. But also, heat does not cause "toxins" to be released from cells. Saunas cause sweating because the body is producing sweat to cool itself...

I stopped taking the pill 5 months ago and had 4 regular periods every 31 days. This month, I got my period at 27 days with slight cramping. Could this mean I began ovulating? I'm thinking about asking to take Clomid...
Sorry, but I don't think this slightly unusual period is a true indicator of whether you are ovulating or not. Have you had problems conceiving in the past or have you been diagnosed with infertility? if not I would assume you are ovulating.

Also, games can bring in revenue for the city. If you have a football stadium with 80,000 people that's packed at every game, then those people buy goods and services from the university and city that bring in revenue.

You could walk across the street blindfolded and be OK...but you'll increase your chances of not being hit by a car if you look both ways!

I don't think this sounds like a good idea. You want to move in with a guy that you've never met? and you suspect he's cheating?

THIS IS NOT YOUR FAULT. Is there a professional you can talk to? Like a therapist or is there a rape crisis center in your city? Ask your mom, a parent, or a trusted adult if you can to help you with counseling and services to get through these tough times. I'm sorry this happened to you.

What is a good facial lotion for dry skin?
During the day or at night? During the day you need a broad spectrum sunscreen, preferably with Meroxyl. At night the sunscreen is not necessary (of course) for a drugstore rec, Olay is widely available and has a few different formulations.
Answer to:
If people of European descent started an organisation called "The Race" how long do you think it would take for ethnic rights groups like La Raza to start lobbying for it to be shut down?
White people already have an organization called "The Race"--it's the dominant force in US society. I do not understand when people get angry about ethnic groups for minorities. A "white club" or whatever is not needed because white people are the majority in the US and the entire US is already a "white club"

My sig. other cant maintain an erection when he putson a condom. condomles sex is not an option as i dont want kids right now. any suggestions...
I am curious, have you noticed that he gets soft or loses ability to maintain erection if he thinks about using a condom or hears a condom opening? Some men get to the point where they are "conditioned" so that when they think of condoms, they think of unsexiness. Figuring out ways to make it sexier can help. Also use a water based lube before applying the condom and after.

I was cutting some meat today and I cut my finger and the wound was open and the blood of the meat contacted my wound, will I get AIDS or other disease from it? Because I know human blood can transmit disease but what about animal's blood to human?
First, I wanna clarify. AIDS is caused by the virus HIV. HIV is transmitted between humans through the blood and some other bodily fluids, usually semen, vaginal fluids, or breastmilk. HIV cannot be transmitted through casual contact like hugging or kissing. So you can't get HIV or AIDS from meat.
Your concern from your cut touching the meat is bacteria from the meat getting into...

How should I invest my money to make the most use of it?
This is too big of a question to answer without more information. I would say the first key to investing/saving money is to eliminate "bad" debt like credit cards. Next, build an emergency saving account. If your employer offers 401K matching at the very least match that if you don't invest more. If you have money left over, I say read a few books at the library/bookstore...
Answer to:
Will manic panic "ultra violet" appear over dyed black hair? (the last time i dyed it was a long time ago and its pretty faded)
Not really, color does not lift color--in order to get the purple to appear you would have to lift the black (do not do this at home!) and then apply the purple.
Since your hair is dyed black, which is the most difficult color to remove, I highly recommend going to a salon if you want a change.

Now in the future, if you are being prescribed any medication ask the pharmacist if it will interfere with birth control or any other meds you use. You can also call your pharmacist and ask if the antibiotics you used affect BCP's effectiveness.

Please see a doctor. It is impossible to diagnose over the Internet but this sounds like a UTI (urinary tract infection). They are common in women and can be aggrevated by sex. Please see a doctor quickly (and ask them about prevention in the future) because the infection can spread.

Answer to:
Is there any way in which I could dye my hair from the crazy colors that it is back to my natural color and add highlights at home and it will still look professional? what is the best dyes and technique
I'd do this at a salon. Even if you were going back to a single hair color, if your hair is bleached and processed you cannot just put hair dye over because of its porosity. Add the highlights to that and I don't think it will look as good at home as it could at a salon. DIY highlights don't tend to go well IMHO
