Why do people buy Pokemon booster boxes/packs instead of full sets?
Hello.
I want to start collecting some of the older Pokémon cards, probably the first 2-3 generations. I have been looking around at prices and noticed full sets are being sold for 1/3-1/2 the price of a booster box.
Why are the sets cheaper than the boxes themselves? I understand the boxes are no longer in print, but surely if you were collecting the cards you would buy a set rather than a box??
1 AnswerCard Games7 years agoIm finding it hard to stick to the paleo diet, why? Please help.?
Hi there.
I am in my early twenties and have been on the paleo diet for a week and a half now. I am on the paleo diet for my skin, trying to rid myself of acne, not to lose weight (I am already a good weight).
Anyway I am finding it quite hard to stick to the diet, its getting expensive buying fruit/veges everyday, the oils/flours are about double the price as "normal" oils/flours and I am finding I am cooking a lot more. Cooking isn't such a bad thing, I enjoy cooking, but when I wake up in the morning I don't eat until about 2pm after I have been to the supermarket. Yesterday I had some baked sweet potato fries, 3 bowls of soup for the entire day, and some water, that's it.
I used to eat a ton more food,now I am thinking "oh well I'll eat later, I don't want to spend too much money".
My skin is getting better slowly, however not as fast as I thought, so maybe food isn't the cause of my acne.
I am thinking about just skipping this diet and going back to what I was eating. I love bread, however now to make it it's going to cost me around $15-$20, compared to when I could buy a loaf for $4 before. I mean WTF.
Please help.
7 AnswersDiet & Fitness7 years agoWhy am I still getting pimples even when eating clean and healthy?
I am a fit male, 24 years old. I started on the Paleo diet one week ago, not to lose weight because apparently it is very beneficial to your skin. One week on and I am getting more pimples, mostly yellow heads and if anything it looks like my skin has got worse.
I am sick of pimples, I have had them since I was 13. I thought it was gluten, dairy, soy all those things, but no matter what I exclude from my diet I STILL get them. It isn't major, but theres probably about 10 on my fce right now, most are yellowheads.
So I started on the Paleo/Caveman diet one week ago and have beens ticking to that.
I have been having quite a few banana chips recently, maybe something like 1- 2 cups per day so I am thinking the oil from those (Coconut oil) could be affecting me somehow?
Please let me know what you think.
Thanks.

2 AnswersDiet & Fitness7 years agoHow to melt coconut oil?
Hi there. I bought some coconut oil today and it is quite solid, kind of reminds me of hair product. I want to sauté some vegetables, mainly some peppers to go with my burgers tonight.
Do I just put the oil (Reminds me nothing of oil) in the pan, let it melt then put the veges in?
Thanks for the help.
5 AnswersCooking & Recipes7 years agoCan I have soy milk while on the paleo diet?
Hi there. I want to start on the Paleo diet. I want to start it because my skin has acne and I want to see if this diet will help. I am male, mid twenties.
I have been as dairy free as possible for months, thinking that dairy was the cause of my acne.
I am not on the diet for weight loss, I am reasonably healthy already, just for my skin.
Thank you.
6 AnswersDiet & Fitness7 years agoCan somebody please explain X-Men: DOFP?
Hi there *Potential Spoliers*
I just watched X-Men Days Of Future Past and there is a few things I am confused about, mainly the time travel.
1: Some of the X-men die in the first few minutes of the movie (Collosus etc) however then we see them with Magento and professor-X. The explanation, what I got from it, was that the X-men that died were some what of an illusion? Is that correct?
2: How did Wolverine end up where he did at the end of the movie?
3: Where did Magneto, Professor-X + Kitty go? Were they an illusion again?
4: What year was it where Logan ended up? 1973? did he get sent back in time again, except this time in a new world to warn the others about what is coming?
Sorry for the questions, I hate time travel in movies/Tv Shows because it can get a bit complicated.
1 AnswerMovies7 years agoWhat are these scabs that are appearing on my face and arms?

About a week or so ago I noticed these scab like things appearing on my face and now there is a couple on my arms. I got these around the same time as I got a cold, runny nose, sneezing and also an ear infection. I am a male in my mid twenties, healthy and fit.
I have done a bit of research and I may have something called "School Sores" However I haven't spoken to my doctor about it yet.

2 AnswersOther - Skin & Body7 years agoWhat is leaking out of my ear?
Hi.
Over the weekend I got a cold, runny nose sneezing headache etc. Around the same time there seemed to be some kind of leakage coming from my ear. It feels like water but it hardens up, somewhat crystalizes and is yellow and sticky. I put a cotton bud in to try and remove it but it keeps coming back so that isn't working.
When I wake up in the morning I can look at my pillow and there are yellow stains on the pillowcase from where the ear has leaked overnight. My ear doesn't hurt and I can still hear pretty clearly.
Thanks

2 AnswersVideo & Online Games7 years agoLots of yellow heads appearing on my face, why?
Hi there.
For the past 5 days or so I have noticed yellow heads appearing on my head and also I can feel them on the back of my neck. I haven't changed my diet, still getting around the same amount of sleep. I am in my mid twenties, male and quite healthy and fit.I have noticed that dairy seems to be the cause of my acne however maybe it is a lot of things. There are a few things however which may have contributed to this, maybe all these problems are causing these yellow heads to appear?
-About a week ago I ate a few small apple pies and also a small Kit-Kat. (Both have dairy)
-My pimple cream has gone out of production for 4 months and I haven't used it (Or anything else) for about 2-3 weeks. However I was only using it once or twice a week in the first place.
-I did eat quite a bit of dairy free icecream, maybe sugar is my problem?
-I have recently gained more hours at work in hospitality. I have gone from 4 days to 7 days and have worked the past 15 days of 16. My job involves being around oil, smoke, grease and cooking food on a grill. Could they have got into my forehead?

1 AnswerSkin Conditions7 years agoWhat to do with a cat that appeared outside?
Hi there.
We currently have our own cat and have for 6-7 years. This cat appeared outside and hasn't really moved since. He has appeared before over numerous years but always goes back home, however this time is different. He sleeps outside and it is quite cold especially at night as it is winter where I live.
As much as we would love to have him, we don't want him. It would be unfair on our current cat and we don't know the medical history of this cat.
How can we get rid of him? He is very friendly, would make such a great family pet or a companion for an elderly person.
We know where about he lives, so at night time we have been walking over in that direction (Probably 100-150metres) and dropping food for him in the hope he will go home, but he keeps coming back.
What can we do? We don't want to be mean to him, but he cant stay outside for ever plus he might get sick as it is quite cold.
Please help.
4 AnswersCats7 years agoWhy dont my headphones pair with my laptop?
I have a pair of Photive BTH3 headphones.
They seem to pair with my mobile fine however they don't want to pair with my laptop at times. If I pair them via Bluetooth and then start playing some media (ITunes, Youtube) either the website will crash or ITunes just wont play the song.
However If I play the media and then pair while a song/video is playing they will work then.
Why is this? How can I fix this?
Thanks
1 AnswerLaptops & Notebooks7 years agoWhy can you buy complete sets for cheaper tha booster boxes?
Hi guys,
I am wondering why it is cheaper to buy complete sets of pokemon cards for cheaper than the price of Booster boxes. What is the point in buying booster boxes (Where it is impossible to get complete sets from 1 box) if you can buy sets for cheaper? By sets I mean jungle, fossil, boundaries crossed etc etc.

2 AnswersCard Games7 years agoHow can I get an original Dark Magician and Blue Eyes WD?
Hi guys.
I haven't played Yugioh for over 10 years and was thinking of buying a few packs. I remember back in the day Dark Magician and Blue Eyes White Dragon were some of the rarer cards, how rare are they now? Id only want the cards from the original set, what is the original set called?
Also how do you tell if your Yugioh cards are rare? Does it have a symbol anywhere on the card?
Thanks
4 AnswersCard Games7 years agoDoes it put you off collecting cards when you see others with full sets?
I was wondering if you get put off collecting cards when you see somebody else already has a full set. When you start collecting you know there are people out there who already have the full set, but you don't really think about it. When I watch videos of people who have a full set of cards (Anime shows, MTG etc) I lose interest and think what's the point.
Do you feel the same or not?
2 AnswersCard Games7 years agoHow to get rid of bed bug bites?
Would getting a new bed, new blanket + sheets work? Also cleaning the area around the bed, the carpet etc.
What other options are there? Thanks.
2 AnswersSkin Conditions7 years agoHow long does it take for bed bug bites to appear?
Hi there.
24 hours ago I woke up and noticed I had a few red marks on my arms, mostly around my elbow. I am 99% sure that it is bed bugs as I have had them before 5+ years ago. I slept in a different room (couch in the lounge) this morning but a few more have shown up. I guess it is possible that there are bugs on the couch also, but I highly doubt it as that is the main "family get together point" so other people would have marks also.
I am wondering how long it can take the bite marks to appear? I think I got bitten 24 hours earlier but only now some of them are showing up.
Thanks.
