Orange sticks are used in manicures. They are slim sticks with tapered end that can be used to push back cuticles and remove detritus from under the nail and around the nail bed. But why are they called "orange sticks"? They're not orange coloured and I don't think they're made from the wood of an orange tree.
Thanks.

I was incarcerated and released 2 days ago. I have been reunited with my 2 daughters (age 10 and 15) but we are homeless. We were staying with my Parents but due to them living in a senior citizen building, we can no longer stay here. I was seeking any assistance available for us , in housing , food or anything that may help my daughters and I get a second chance. We are in the Sante Fe Springs area.

I know this may sound crazy, but here it goes: I've known since the day i was born that i was going to be a writer, it's my goal in life. I've read several times over i needed to practice during my early years, adn so i have. Well, right now i'm working on something that I'd like to publish. I don't think it will be the"next big thing", but I think people would enjoy reading it, and that' a writers purpose, isn't it? I'm only 15, but my mind is a few years wiser. If any one has any advice for me, I'd really apreciate it!!! my email is boyzaremade4me@yahoo.com

Why do people put more than one question mark or exclaimation mark after a sentence? To me it makes me think you are an illiterate simpleton.
