I know some people use carpet tape for their hair pieces I don't know if that would help

Shave your hair all off ala Sinead O'Connor in the 90's.

Rub cat fur all over your skirt/jeans so they match.

I have a headache, hayfever, and the worst cough ever. I've had this cough now for almost 2 weeks non-stop. And I have all this while trying to do my exams

Sputum is another name for phlegm. If you are coughing up green stuff you should go and see your doctor for antibiotics.

Phew ... I think I want to be an advice columnist when I grow up.

Could be eczema. Use an aqueous cream & that should re-hydrate the skin (I guess ask your pharmacy for something appropriate).

2) I have these knee pad that use velcro but the velcro is not holding worth a crap anymore

Sorry, only answer for this is to get some new ones. I think once the velcro is worn it can't be revitalised.

Yeah thats what I feared. If I buy new knee pads they will use non-velcro attachment methods

My chest hurts when I eat too fast. I guess that's heartburn.

I think gastrointestinal problems and anxiety often mimic the symptoms of heart problems.

gastrointestinal is lower than the chest

True but the pain like many types of pains radiated in such a fashion its hard to pin point.

A section of hair that has a mind of its own and refuses to lay where you want it to.

My landlord told my mother he needed me to go down to the cellars to sort out my stuff in storage there and point out what is mine. He also told her he would help me find somewhere else to live since he told her I have to move out, but didnt tell me.
Two days, we arranged to meet at 10am.
~Both days he did not turn up, and in spite of having my number now, has not called either.
He lives just a few doors along but whenever I go into the bar below to ask about this, his son is rude.
What should I do?

I had that problem big time when my hair was shorter. It's about 90% of the reason I grew my hair long! I still get the problem after I wash my hair, but it's nowhere near as bad as the old days.

Not really. I see a Gastroenterologist and he deals from the esophagus down to the other end. Don’t forget, your stomach is much higher than most people realize. Been scoped all the way through.

Anyway, I have anxiety issues and a Hiatal Hernia (essentially top of stomach slides up into the esophagus) and they both manifest as chest pain. Twice had to have heart tests to make sure I wasn’t having a heart attack, even though I said is was probably anxiety.

Acid reflux is the most common cause of chest pain unrelated to heart problems. Tons of people go to emergency rooms every year thinking they're having a heart attack, when really it's just acid reflux.

Additionally, a symptom of a heart attack can be a feeling of fullness in the stomach.

Yellow-green sputum might mean bronchitis, which is actually usually caused by a virus (which can't be treated by antibiotics). It can sometimes be caused by bacteria though. Have you had a high fever? When I've had bacterial bronchitis, my fever has been above 102 Fahrenheit (38.8 Celsius).

Brownish-red sputum might mean pneumonia, which is usually caused by bacteria and is treated with antibiotics.

Have you been having problems with feeling short of breath/wheezing?

I've nearly fainted doing the clubhouse lawns, because I had Slim-fast instead of fruit and cereal for breakfast, today. I guess that I'll be eating frequent lighter meals in the summer, instead of drinking shakes.

I am going to go bald when I get older,
my family has a history of heart problems that will probably kill me in the future,
I am not in great phyical shape and I lack much ability and endurance,
I have like no friends now,
I am extremely lonely,
I actually am feeling a little bored with reading about history,
and many more.

You could try a lint brush, but if you're as talented in coordination as I am, the brush may end up in your hair instead of on the shirt.

Small problems I have:

a.) My fingers keep cutting open when I play my guitar. I know they just need time to adjust, but jeez, it's been 3 months since I started heavily playing.

b.) I have no motivation whatsoever.

c.) My back, shoulders, and neck are constantly sore. Don't know why, but it's probably tension.

Occasionally, I will get an esophageal spasm. It really hurts. The only way I can stop it is to drink water.
