Is something in the remover causing the pain? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/46798 My nails really hurt about the day after I remove nail polish with remover. My nails don't hurt when I just chip the polish off. Is something in the remover causing the pain?<br /><br />Check the nail polish remover that you are using. It is possible that it is meant for artifical nails; if so, it is too harsh for your natural nail and is probably irritating it. If it&#039;s the correct remover, you may simply be rubbing your nails too hard when removing the polish.

Thu, 15 Dec 2005 19:12:29 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/37666 Answer to What is it that makes a "man in uniform" so attractive to some women? Or a "woman in uniform" so attractive to some men? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/37663 What is it that makes a "man in uniform" so attractive to some women? Or a "woman in uniform" so attractive to some men?<br /><br />In my experience, it is because women are used to so frequently seeing men dressed casually or shabbily. Uniforms are streamlined, neat, and unusual- we don&#039;t see them all around us everyday. For some women, the uniform also, as another poster mentioned, can signify bravery or nobility.

Will I be legally forced to discontinue the relationship when I turn 18?<br /><br />Not if you&#039;re just dating. It&#039;s not technically illegal to date anyone, regardless of age. If it&#039;s a sexual relationship, then it becomes a problem, because it&#039;s considered statuatory rape. Thu, 24 Nov 2005 18:29:25 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/35691
