How can I reduce traffic noise coming in through my air conditioner?

I have a window-unit ac with accordion side panels made out of plastic. I hear all kinds of street noise coming in through this plastic. It's like I have no windows. Has anyone ever had a similar problem? Is there any material I can use to cover the plastic or anything I can do to reduce the sound without removing my ac?

Do people think that because they spread their hateful thoughts on answers that anyone really cares?

You can talk about blacks, whites, mexicans, arabs, etc all you want and its not going to make a MAJORITY of us change our thoughts about anyone.

(for those who are going to post negative comments.......i dont care, it wont be read AT ALL. Just given an immediate thumbs down and minimize to nothing!!!!!!!!

Tongue in Cheek[Cheek Piercing]Can I get some knowledge?

my little sister got hers done and the dumb @ss piercer was like don't move them or play with them and my sister being very inexperienced with piercings took it literally ontop pf them giving her really short barbells and the skin inside her cheek grew over them and now she cant get them out the shop was supposed to fix them but i dont know what happened. so my advice is make sure you have real long jewelry and pay close attention that doesn't happen. you are supposed to move them around and whatnot just not with dirty hands and not constantly. otherwise good luck and enjoy. and be sure to follow the after care.

This dream kinda freaked me out?

Lol, dude, that is a pretty weird dream, but I don't think it means your gay. Perhaps you're watching to much family guy? :P . We all get weird dreams from time to time. You'll know if you're attracted to men, don't let a dream decide that for you. Dreams are often mixtures of experiences you've had and sometimes they don't make sense at all!

I have some (paid for) DRM music files in wma but I need them in mp3 format. Which software should do it?

I used a tunegenie service to get some songs for $0.99 but they came in .wma format. I need them in .mp3 format to use on my phone mp3 player but the software I have tried in the past can't open the file due to the DRM. Is there a way to get around this?

Still bleeding days after first time . help!?

so...i'm looking for some kind of advice. three days ago i had for the first time.it was very painful and i experienced bleeding. the morning after, there was only a brown discharge on my panty liners, which i umed it was old blood.in the evening however i started bleeding again and that was definitely not just old blood, as it was bright red.now three days have ped and i'm still bleeding. i've been taking Yaz(birth control) for some time now, i have regular periods, so i'm sure this is not period blood. + i used protection during the ual . i'm afraid this might be a laceration (it stings a little when i wash but otherwise there's no pain) ...i have no idea if i should wait and see if it pes or if i should panic and go to the obgyn asap. is this normal? could this be a laceration?if so, how long does it last?and what can i do to prevent the wound from opening over and over again?
