How does a credit card work? why would I need one? |
| Question found in Business & Economy In General |
|
|
A credit card is a preapproved loan. When you make a credit card purchase, you are borrowing the funds from the issuing bank. You have agreed to repay the loan, usually on monthly terms, with interest. Credit cards can show a certain measure of financial responsibility and they are verifiable funding (as opposed to a personal check). They are safer than cash, especially when traveling. |

How can I get my cell phone to screen out all calls that originate from a phone number listed as "Private"? I have Verizion Wireless. They were not only unable to provide a solution but were unable to understand the question. Their explanation was as detailed as "Landlines are different from cell phones" Duh! Certainly this is not a phone feature but should be a service feature. |
| Question found in Cell Phones |
|
|
You probably cannot block these calls as is possible with some land-line services, but the Caller ID will let you recognize them. Many phones have a button to silence the ring if you don't wish to answer the phone. You could also include a comment in your voice mail informing people that you don't answer calls with "Private" as part of the Caller ID. Some callers can temporarily disabled the "Private", but they will have to check with their provider to find out how to do it. |

I was served papers to go to court on a bad check. I never new I had a bad check, it was for $20.00 they want $400.00 now. |
| Question found in Legal In General |
|
|
Call the court listed and verify the case. Sometimes scam artists will do this hoping you might pay without going to court. It could be phony. Some of these scam artists are also called "lawyers". Not all lawyers are ethical. If it's real and you live in the U.S., I believe the amount sought is excessive or you've misread the summons. If it is real, gather your bank statements (which will prove or disprove the overdraft) and go to court. If you do not go to court, you will certainly lose. |

Does drinking water help you loose weight? |
| Question found in Health & Fitness In General |
|
|
Yes, it can help. The "rule of thumb" is one ounce of water daily for every two pounds you currently weigh, up to about 80 ounces. First of all, adequate hydration is necessary to maintain metabolism. If you are even slightly dehydrated, your cells cannot process nutrients or eliminate wastes properly. This is often referred to as "flushing out your system". If metabolism is proper, your cells will use nutrients rather than storing them as fat. Secondly, drinking water may help reduce hunger pangs while dieting. As with any weight loss program, you should have some medical guidance. What works for one may not work for you depending on health conditions. Some of which you may not even be aware. |

I have been renting a townhouse in a building that's over a hundred years old, and have noticed a number of house centipedes during my tenancy. I know that they eat other household pests, and can't really harm humans, but I have a pet chinchilla, and must admit that I am somewhat bothered by their alarming appearance. So, I have two questions. Are these centipedes potentially harmful to my pet, and how can I minimize their appearance in a building that is, by nature, somewhat damp and cool? |
| Question found in Home & Garden In General |
|
|
from William F. Lyon, centipede expert, Ohio State University: "The house centipede, unlike most other centipedes that normally live outdoors, can live indoors especially in damp, moist basements, cellars, bathrooms, crawlspaces or unexcavated areas under the house. They are sometimes seen running rapidly across the floor with great speed, stopping suddenly to remain motionless and then resuming fast movements, occasionally directly toward the homeowner in an attempt to conceal themselves in their clothing. They have a "fearful" appearance but cause no damage to the structure, household possessions or foods. Some can bite when handled carelessly, resulting in a slight swelling or pain no worse than a mild bee sting. "Prevention: Keep old boards, or rotting wood, compost piles, grass clippings, leaves, stones, etc. away from the house foundation. Remove, if practical, trash or leaf litter in a strip 3 feet wide surrounding the house foundation, exposing the soil surface to drying from the air and sunlight. Repair and seal cracks and openings in the foundation wall and around door and window frames with caulking compound and weather stripping. "Properly ventilate basements and subfloor crawlspaces to eliminate excess moisture. Indoors, control nuisance insect populations to reduce the food source (prey) of centipedes. These creatures can be collected by broom and dustpan, vacuum cleaner or other mechanical means and discarded." It would seem that you and your chinchilla might be uncomfortable at worst if bitten, but the bites do no seem to be particularly dangerous. Prevention tips seem workable unless your particular situation prevents. Good luck! Bugs in the house are rarely welcome. |

Can a Law Enforcement officer be charged under the good Samaritan law if he or she fails to act while a crime is being committed, and a person is killed that they could have prevented? |
| Question found in Legal In General |
|
|
In most U.S. states, violation of "Good Samaritan Laws" requires "willful acts of gross negligence". In other words, neglect or failure to act is not wrongful. In no event of which I am aware can anyone be "charged" in a criminal matter for failure to act. U.S. law cannot constitutionally place a duty to act on someone who simply happens to be present at the scene of an incident. Involuntary servitude was abolished a long time ago. |

Is it a HIPAA regulation to keep the server room locked at all times? Especially from 8:00am to 5:00pm during the week. |
| Question found in Legal Other |
|
|
HIPAA generally requires that access to personal information be restricted to those who have a "need to know". If locking the server room prevents unauthorized access to those records, is not unwarranted. If terminals with less secure access to that server are unprotected, locking the server room sounds rather silly. The authority in question may wish to limit access to the server room and is using HIPAA requirements as an excuse because they don't want to reveal the real reason. |
