I bought some barstools off craigslist for a steal but they are a little too short for my bar. they are light metal frame painted black. Is there any way to add up to 5 inches and keep them stable? I know that they are not extenable legs… Any tips? Or should I go buy new ones?
The bar is part of the kitchen. It extends from the wall, so making that shorter is impossible. plus, im sure my landlord wouldn’t be too thrilled. But the wheels sound interesting hopefully not too dangerous…..I’ll head to lowes today. Please keep the idea’s coming.

A little over a month ago I was stacking bar stools on a table and one dropped not exactly on my achilles tendon but on the side of it where it kind of dips. One of the legs of the chairs landed on it. Well it hurt really bad and got really swollen (there’s no dip anymore, it kind of puffs out) and there is a faint bruise on it. It doesn’t really hurt when I walk but it hurts when someone hits it. It hasn’t gotten any worse or better. What’s going on?

I am 10 weeks pregnant. On Monday I woke up and I wasn’t feeling quite right so I laid back down and slept an extra hour. I woke up feeling alright so I got up and ran some errands and some light cleaning around the house. Then later that evening I was cooking dinner and I got light headed and knew I needed to sit down asap. So I went and sat down on a bar stool in the kitchen and I was feeling really dizzy and hot. So i bent over to turn a fan toward me and my legs got stuck. I was standing there bent over bouncing up and down uncontrollably. That went on for maybe two minutes till I managed to get my butt back on the stool. As soon as I sat back up I knew I was gonna be sick. My eyes started rolling into the back of my head and I couldn’t support the weight of my own head I thought I was going to pass out. That was the worst part for me. After a minute or so of that I got up and ran to the bathroom and got sick. During that I was sweating so bad and I was shaking. Then I felt a lot better after I got sick. I drank some water and patted the sweat off my face and neck with a cool cloth. I got back to finishing cooking dinner and ate dinner too. Later that night I felt pretty nauseous but I normally always feel nauseous I have noticed. So I wasn’t to worried about that. I just haven’t felt 100% since that night. And to make matters worse I work in a restaurant and I am around food all day long and sometimes just smelling the food I have to stop myself from getting sick right then and there. But I just wanted to know if this is normal or any other pregnant women have had something like this. Maybe something to help me feel not so sick all the time?

Does anyone know who I could contact or e-mail regarding letting all retail employees sit on stools at the cash registers? It doesn’t mean that we are lazy or not doing our jobs! We can still do our jobs if we were allowed to just sit down (few minutes here and there) when there is no one at the counter! I know this is a hard question, but I was just thinking about the fact that I hate how all retail stores make their employees stand all day like dogs. My feet and legs are hurting!! Please post your feelings on this subject!

I have a 13 y/o client with cerebral palsey who has dislocated hips. I am trying to increase the range of motion in his hips. I can not remember the name of the cushion that is shaped like the letter "A" and wedges between the legs of post-op hip replacement patients. It has a strap on each side that wrap around each leg. This foam cushion is intended to be used to prevent patients from dislocating their hip joint after surgery while lying in bed.

I was assigned a project to build a chair made out of corrugated cardboard,, the chair must have 4 defined legs with spaces with at least 30cm from the floor to bottom of chair, and at least 30cm apart from leg to leg. It has to hold a 220 lbs adult. It must be braced and cannot not have the butt-cheek wiggle. I you have any ideas, links, videos, or tips to help me out, please answer!

The chair at my computer desk holds a lot of static electricity. Every time I sit down, the hair on my arms is attracted to the armrests. When I stand up, my pants are stuck to my legs, and when I touch the top of the chair, I get shocked. I use a thick plastic chair mat, on carpet. Any ideas?

I like this guy, but i don’t know if i should tell him. Lets call him Drake.

We went to disney yesterday, it was Him, Me, My best friend, and Her Bf. And when it was getting dark, i was FREEZING and he gave me his jacket. Was that a hint? Or did he just not want me to be cold.?

Then his friend came to disney at like 7 pm. Lets call him Andrew. And when he was going to walk over to the bathrooms, Andrew said to Drake "If you guys leave me, im going to steal Grace(thats my name) away from you" and Drake had like an ‘uhh what are you talking about face’ when u dont want someone to know something kind of face. Was his facial expression a sign?

Then the rest of the night, Andrew was flirting with me and sitting next to me on ALL the rides we went on the rest of the night. Was that to make Drake jealous, kind of like ‘im stealing the girl you like’?

When ever I got the chance to give some signs to Drake that i liked him, it was only 3 times.
1. At one point we were in the haunted mansion, and i didnt want to loose him so i took his arm to hold onto him, and then the next time i did that i took his hand.

2. When we were sitting on stools by a counter at a eating place. I was sitting next to him, but TURNED to him, and i put my feet around one of his legs. He didnt say anything about it, until i said "Its comfortable like this" and Drake said "Yeah your boots are soft" .

3.On the way home, i "fell" asleep, and he was in the back seat so i dangled my arm over the seat and had my finger tips touching his leg.

Could those be some signs to him, that can give him the hint?

I want to tell him REALLY bad, but i dont know if he likes me. But then i think that he does, because the way he acts around me and stuff.

We’ve(Me and Drake. It wasnt like dates or anything) gone to Halloween horror nights, universal, and disney together.
But im still not sure.
But i want to take the risk. Because if he likes me then GREAT! But if he doesn’t then we can always stay friends.

Here’s what i had in mind, how to tell him:
I was going to text him in the afternoon, and be like:

"I don’t like Andrew. I like someone else"
Then when he responds wouldn’t it be instinct to wonder & ask who i like?
So when he does, i was going to say:
"Think, who could i like who was with us yesterday"
And then obviously its not my friends Bf and its not Andrew. So who’s left? Drake.
So i thought it would be nice to have him think about it, and figure it out like that instead of me directly saying that i like him.

And then we would just go on from there. And if he likes me then THATS GREAT! But if not i can be content with being friends.

Is that a good way to tell him? I figured a text situation would be better, because its a more comfortable situation. And if he ends up saying he likes me too, then we can call each other. And he he doesn’t, its less awkward.

So my questions that I asked in here, can you answer them for me?

Any advice?
Thanks(:
I apologize that this is really long.

I lost a bet with my boyfreind and I had to get messy. Here’s my story…I know it’s quite long…scroll to the end for my real question!

I had a bet with my boyfriend over who could stay on the phone the longest before falling asleep or giving in to their fatigue and hanging up first. It had been a long day for me as I had worked twelve hours and so in a dreary tone I said “I give up. Good night, sweetie.” The agreement was that the following day the loser would be getting messy.
So here I am standing before the mirror in my boyfriend’s bathroom dressed in some skimpy clothes waiting to get messy. I took one last look at myself in the mirror and sighed as I opened the bathroom door and entered the kitchen.
“Nice.” Michael said, “You look hot in that.” He padded down on the stool he had brought over for me and I gingerly sat down and took a deep breath. This was going to be humiliating.
First, he walked over to the counter and grabbed a couple of peanut butter jars and a spatula. “Lift up your arms,” he said. I did as he said as he opened the first jar and shoved his rubber spatula inside. He spread layer after layer of the gooey stuff on my underarm and then he continued on the second underarm with his spare jar of peanut butter. It felt disgusting, but I could tell he was enjoying it. He then grabbed a pie tin practically spilling over with shortening and ordered me stand up. I stood up as he slid the tin underneath me. He then shoved me down forcing the greasy shortening into my crotch. “Eww…” I said, with a disgusted expression on my face. He gave me a satisfying grin and said, “Oh, it’s not over yet.”
He came over with a jar of honey and tipped it over my chest. The gooey substance slowly spilled out of the jar and down my chest and middle. He then came around with a jar of chocolate syrup and ordered me to lift my head to the ceiling as he poured it all over my face. It cascaded down my sides and all down my legs to the floor.
I kept my mouth shut despite how uncomfortable this was for me. He then brought over a couple containers of cool whip. He opened one and shoved his hand inside, shoveling a huge glob of it out. “Do you like facials?” he asked. I nodded. He slathered the cool whip all over my head and rubbed it in gently on my face. He then grabbed my hair and slathered another glob of cool whip into it. It did kind of feel like being at the salon as he rubbed the messy white cream into my hair and all over the rest of my head.
He walked over to the sink to wash the goop off of his hands in preparation for round two. He started off the second round with a large mixing bowl full of vanilla cake batter as he dumped it over my head and again it slid down my sides and legs, dripping all over the tiled floor. He then massaged this goop into my long hair until he was satisfied with the mess he had made there. He then went back to the counter to grab another large mixing bowl nearly overflowing with chocolate cake batter. This time he forced my whole head into it and pulled my head out by my hair. He finished it off by dumping the remainder of the cake batter onto my lap.
He then came around with two banana cream pies and made a pie sandwich out of my head. At this point I was enjoying getting messy and starting to feel aroused. He then came around with a large bucket of slime and let it slowly trickle down onto the top of my head. He then told me to look up and as I did so he dumped the slime all over me. Not an inch of me wasn’t covered in some kind of slimey, gooey mess.
After that, he brought a carton of eggs from the fridge and ordered me to sit on them and crack them with my ***. There was one last thing left on the counter. A few sticks of softened butter all stacked up very neatly. He unwrapped them one by one and slathered them all over my body, rubbing it in especially into my hair. He then clasped his hands together and nodded in satisfaction. That session was over but now I can’t wait to lose another bet again.

So my real question is…what are some ideas for next time I lose a bet and what is the messiest experience you’ve ever had (if you’ve experienced one)?

i have two chairs and one is broken and want to move the legs of one to the other

I have a 1 year old cat with some medical problems. He has food allergies and colitis. After months of trying different medications, he is finally on a prescription hypoallergenic diet (Science Diet z/d). It’s the only thing so far that has kept his stools from being completely liquid with blood. His stools are still very soft and not formed through.

Our problem right now is that he doesn’t always make it to the litter box. It seems like as soon as the urge to "go" hits him, he stops right there and goes. I come home from work nearly everyday to find an accident somewhere in the house. I don’t think it’s being done because he’s upset though. He has been standing in the kitchen with me purring and rubbing around my legs and suddenly stops and squats. If we catch him starting and yell at him, it seems to scare him enough to stop and make it to the litter box. He frequently goes just outside the litter box, like he just couldn’t finish making it. He has never peed outside the box.

I am looking for some help or suggestions for how to get him using only the box again. I’m tired of having to steam clean my carpets all the time.

We do not have a large tiled room that he can be shut in, just 2 small bathrooms. The accidents happen whether or not we are home.

We want to keep him, but really need to get this problem solved. Serious answers only please.
A few details to add. There is more than 1 litter box in the house and they are cleaned daily. The "yelling" is just yelling out his name when we see him start to squat. That seems to scare him just enough that he can hold it long enough to get to the litter box. And last, we picked up some of the Cat Attract and have had no luck with it. There were over 10 accidents just today. Any help is appreciated!

Until recently she has had no reason to think that me being at the sink will get her any rewards (like food, or attention). But she has always rubbed against my legs, purred, reach for the top of the counter, and meowed as Im doing dishes. She never tries to jump up on the counter though.

Lately I decided I should just grab a stool and plop her up next to me so she can watch as I perform this drudgery. She loves it. She will just stay there on the stool, sitting flat on her butt with front paws resting on the counter and watches me wash and rinse. Then looks at my face as I reach past her to put the dishes on the rack to dry.

I think its adorable and makes washing dishes that much less dull. But Im just curious; Why does she find it so interesting and why did she start loving me up at the sink when she wasnt provoked to do so with rewards and treats?
She jumps from my arms when I pick her up in this situation… so I dont think she wants to be held.

Also, she started doing this before I came up with the idea of having her sit on a stool next to me.

Flip the bar stool over
