I don't like my hardwood floors - i need some advice?

If you want the same floor throughout then I would use vinyl strip flooring with different prints on it. It is waterproof--good for the bathroom and kitchen--and looks pretty good. You can put laminate flooring down but some of it isn't all that great near water. Hardwood flooring can also be put down, but it isn't the best idea for a bathroom--but it has been done before. You can overlay your existing floor as long as it is all at one level.

I hit my toe really hard what can i do?

earlier today i made a dumb mistake of rushing up the stairs and i hit my toe straight on into a step. it isnt the big toe, it was the second one right next to the big toe on my left foot. it hurt but i just ignored it anyways after an hour it started to hurt a lot i cant walk on that foot. i cant move it even if i use my hand to move it it hurts really badly. i have sprianed my arm before and this is just worse. i know it isnt broken because it isnt out of shape, and there is no color change. so far i only feel numbness but pain when walking or trying to move it, and swelling. what can i do to help it feel better? how long will it take to heal?

Questions about recipes for and their ingredients for dogs?

How much a dog can eat of certain types of foods is directly proportional to their body size. For example, the 3 dogs my family has had for 12 years now have had chocolate at-least once a week for 11 years of their lives, sometimes once a day for a week straight. They are all still healthy, no arthritis or anything, and they've even been fed the cheap old ol' roy and others similarly as cheap from Walmart as their primary source of food when they're not being fed people food. If your dog(s) is/are small, I'd suggest doing a lot of research before conducting such experiments with their food, but if they are bigger dogs atleast 60 pounds or more, I wouldn't worry too much.

Casual Fling Guy: do you think its OK to go back to him after 3 years?

It sounds like you are just looking for something to do, some down time between relationships would be desirable to assess what you want out of the relationship. In the end it is just a hook up but it could set a pattern for future relationships. You seem to like older guys, go for something new, and try someone your age, if you haven't already. That might be exciting. To repeat you could be setting up a dysfunctional pattern to dating.

Would Scotland be able to exist as an independent nation, seperate from the UK?

I was thinking more along financial lines. they do get income from oil, gas and tourism, but their largest source of income is the english tax payer. services such as free health, prescriptions, buses, school meals, welfare support(dole)/social services would probably be cut, plus a rise in income tax. would all that be worth it?

Sprained ankle help? ?

I sprained my ankle about three months ago in soccer. I have been wearing the brace my docotr gave me. The doctor said I won't fully heal until i rest it for a couple of weeks. I don't have the time to rest it bc of high school season. I was wondering when high school season is over and I rest it for a couple of months, will it fully heal back to normal??

Question about my sprained ankle?

So about 5 days ago I sprained my ankle. Minor sprain, I guess. I went to the doctor and they told me to wear a brace and not walk on my foot. I've worn the brace, did the whole R.I.C.E thing for about 4 or 5 days now.. but just today I decided to walk on it. It doesn't hurt too bad but it's uncomfortable to walk. If I just start walking again and give up on letting it heal... what will happen?

Injured foot question?

Came down on my right foot very awkwardly 2 days ago. The exact area of pain is basically from the pinky toe, down the right side of my foot (Sorry i do not know foot terms) I do not think it's broken because when im just sitting down it feels fine. I can move all my toes even my pinky toe without anything hurting. However when i stand it is pretty painful, but not unbearable. My whole entire foot is swollen for some reason even though that one area is the only painful area. 2 Days ago i couldnt even stand on my right foot but now i can stand but walking is very difficult. Overall i feel like it is healing pretty fast if i can already stand on it. Those are some details now i want to ask what can i do to speed up the process of getting rid of the swelling? Should i just keep icing my WHOLE foot or just that area in pain? Any suggestions from personal expierence or whatever! Thank you.

Are the abused being re-victimized and blamed for their abuse by psychology?

No. As long as they are respected, it is about getting them the care they need and not giving unneeded drugs. As long as they aren't actually being blamed (like when people say a woman who gets raped was dressing sluttily and so was asking for it) then I think it is fine.

Not at all. The Queen receives a large sum of money each year - the Civil List. This comes from taxpayers. However, this is in exchange for allowing the state to use thousands of properties the Crown owns. The annual rent on these would be far, far higher than the Civil list.

Why do people cut themselves?

all that crap about depression is just that...CRAP...i was a cutter and why did i do it? attention...i just wanted people to feel sorry for me and try comfort me... in the beginning the cuts were shallow because i was scared of the pain but as i saw the amount of attention i was getting i would attempt to make them more jagged and deeper. One day i saw someone else who was a cutter and saw how pathetic they were, i saw myself in that person...so i slapped myself around, told myself to stop being a whiny little emo b**ch and do something about it. and you wanna know who were the biggest cutters??? upper middle class white kids with more money and friends than sense, and yes i was one of those...If there is too much pain in life then do something about it, confront that pain head on, kick its *** and make it your slave, you get one life, make it the best one ever...I got out of it with no psych help, because there was no psychosis, just a whiny kid with nothing better to do...Grow up cutters...

If I should be signing on, and how to do it.?

I'm just finished university, and I do have temporary work lined up for the summer, so I would only be signing on for 2 weeks, while the rota is being agreed. I'm usually the first person to say I'd never sign on unless I truly need it and hate how some people abuse the system, but it's come to the point where my parents are supporting me and I would like to give them the money for my food/board as they are being left out of pocket too. What do I do to claim "the dole"?

Cost to build a 12 x 20 deck?

The deck I want to build would be free standing, use pressure treated pine. At it's lowest point it would be inches off the ground, and at it highest point about 2 feet off the ground.

Ex-husband harassing me after our 31 y/o plead guilty to beating me up - what are my options?

Recently my 31 y/o son plead guilty to and is on probation in Virginia for domestic violence assault for beating me up in April of this year. In retaliation my ex-husband (divorced almost 24 acrimonious years) and my sister have been harassing my daughter (she does NOT live with me) to get possession of my son's belongings which he left in my house when he was arrested almost two months ago. Neither my son, his father nor my sister have approached me for access to my house. He has not paid rent since the police removed him from my property in handcuffs. My son gave his father power of attorney to enter my home which he had no right to do. My sister, a judge's secretary, sent an email and a fax with my ex-husband's demands to my employer's general email address and general fax number this morning which I don't have access to. My son is more than welcome to come get his belongings but his father and my sister are not welcome in my home at any time. What are my options to put an end to this drama? The father lives in CT and my sister is more than willing to facilitate whatever he wants as long as she feels important in doling out the harassment.

Goldfish questions PLEASE ANSWER I really need help.?

well, goldfish (especially common/comet goldfish) get fin rot or tail rot from dirty water. If your aquarium is dirty at the moment, do a quick water change and give him the treatment needed. Fin/tail rot usually happens when the water is dirty. Live plants are good but not plastic, because they're sharp and might stab onto the fins. i once had a common goldfish it rotted it's tail all the way and it's fins are clamped to his body and it sank to the bottom of the tank. I knew that it might have swim bladder disease but it might not be swim bladder disease b/c since his tail is rotted he sunk below and kept getting sucked onto the hang on filter. so the next day it died. So always buy/choose a goldfish that is healthy with no diseases.

By now, most of you have seen Obama's latest attempts with U.S. Federal Aid . Do you think his timing and?

Tactics will have a negative or positive affect or do you think most people realize what Obama's actually doing right now? WASHINGTON – In his first comprehensive response to revolts across the Arab world, President Barack Obama is doling out punishment and praise, targeting Syrian President Bashar Assad for attacking his people but also promising fresh U.S. aid to nations that support democracy. Obama is also trying to erase any doubt that the U.S. supports the call for change.

What can I do about my dad?

I live in Ireland in case anyone is wondering. Is there anything I'm legally entitled to do? All of my life I was abused in some way by him... When I was 5 I found it hard to spell or read, and he helped me by beating me and making me sit in a corner for hours with a book. There was a field behind my old house that if I ever played in, I would get hit with his belt. Over the years, the beatings have stopped, but I still get a lot of abuse and mis-treatment. I'm now 19 and basically treated like a slave in the house. He tells me to do really stupid things and if I don't do them or do them wrong, I get yelled at, called names and threatened. The latest episode was earlier today when he asked me to research something on the internet. I couldn't find it and he said send an E-mail to the manufacturer of the product. I composed an E-mail but he didn't like the sound of it and I began arguing with him that it was done properly. He then told me to shut my mouth or he would smash my face in. He is trying to control every aspect of my life. He dis-approves of my girlfriend and basically said we were going to break up and I shouldn't get too attached to her. We've been going out for a year now and still going strong, but that doesn't make a difference to him. I want to move out of my house at least, but I can't find a job, and I want to put myself through college in September. Last summer, I was on the Dole and he was taking half of it every week. I didn't mind that, but he also made me work with him and refused to pay me one cent. I tried to say I would take the whole Dole money as payment, and he threatened to throw me out of the house. What I want to know, is there any compensation I'm entitled to? I'm afraid to do anything unless it's sure that I would be free of him, because otherwise it'd just get worse... If I was living on my own, is there any source of money that I could claim that would be enough to put me through college and keep me basically alive?

Congresswoman renews effort to end military sponsorship?

It's just another attempt by a politician who has no better agenda, and is trying to gain popularity. Unfortunately that sponsorship by our armed forces in NASCAR helps recruit young men and women who are desperately needed to serve in our military. She is wasting her time, because even people in the house committee will realize that their are more important political venues. The U.S. has been giving billions of dollars to Afghanistan and those people are not even on our side, In fact the Afghanistan CIA just prosecuted members of their military for giving information to the U.S. to help us capture Bin Laden. Like I said, it is her feeble attempt to gain notoriety, but it's amazing how ignorant she thinks the public is. The military sponsoring in NASCAR is some of the best and most positive publicity for recruitment purposes, especially when the fans are watching the men and women of our armed forces attending and participating in NASCAR events. The next to go is congresswoman Michele Bachmann. That woman is "off her rocker" too. Be careful come election day, and don't forget to vote!

How do I treat raw pine wood?

I am using the trunk of last year's christmas tree as a stand for a dress form. I cut all the branches off but I'm not sure what to do next. I want it to look relatively organic, (not drastically sanded down or anything), because i like the raw naturey look, but I also don't want it to quickly rot and I don't want it to feel sticky from sap residue. What kind of oil or varnish can I use on it to treat it? Thanks so much

Earlobe too thin with purple streak inside from stretching?

I will admit that I went too fast in gauging my ears. A year ago I started gauging every week until I got to a 0, and from then on I would gauge every 2 to 3 weeks until I got to 5/8. After a month I went to 3/4 and that was a huge stretch, I got it done at a piercing shop because I couldnt do it myself and the stretch went fine, but I stupidly changed to flared plugs after 4 days because the huge tapers were hurting my ears, and ended up battling with infected torn earloabes for about a month after that and took them off for more than a month to heal the infection. I started all over again after they were healed, but was so eager to get back to what I used to be that right away from the 2 g I had shrunk, I was able to go to 1/2 in without any pain at all. I would wait 2 weeks in between stretches, but these stretches were painless, and I thought it was because I had my ears previously gauged to a bigger size. I got to 7/8 without any problem a month later but decided to downsize to 3/4 because one of my ears started stretching closer to where my head connects to my ear and I know that was from the result of fast stretching so I went back to try and correct that. But my other ear is way too thin, it is really dry always and peeling, and has scar tissue at the back that curls inwards from having torn that earlobe the first time I went to that size a couple of months back. My question now is, is my blood flow being cut off from the thiness and that is what has caused this redish purple streak across the inside of my earlobe? What should I do? Would taking off the plugs to let it reheal for a month or so solve that problem and the blood flow in my ear should return? I am just worried my ear will tear apart on its own if the problem is the blood flow? I have no infections my ears dont puss or anything of that sort nor hurt. My ear had practically torn all the way in half the first time so the scar tissue that grew to cover that is what is so thin around the ear.

Why am I too scared to sleep?

Yeah I would go to see a doctor and they might give you a tablet and they might have someone to help you.

What does this dream mean?

I had a dream last night that me and my best friend went to a chorus concert at her school (I don't go to her school), and we were on stage, and the curtains opened, and we were singing Amazing Grace, but then I forgot the lyrics, so we had to start over, and when we started over, we started singing, and then the front of the stage caught on fire. At first we didn't do anything about it, but I didn't want the fire to spread and harm us, so we went off the stage through the back door, and somehow, it took us to this tattoo parlor, and then my best friend really had to pee, so we went down to the bathroom, and it was all like, flooded with dirty water. Like, with pine needles and stuff in it, and on the door frame and all over the wall of the bathroom, was pictures of us,growing up together, and we were looking at them, and then it ended. Does this mean anything?

Thoughts about housing just one horse?

I leased a 24 yo Appaloosa mare for about a month and since then, I was given the option of buying her, which I am. Presently she is being boarded at a neighbor's barn, but it has always been my dream of not only owning my own horse, but housing it, too. I have been getting a lot of "flack" from my neighbor for wanting to bring my horse home to live. I understand that horses are herd animals, but I feel that she will get better care and much more attention if she is with me. Where she is now, I have no control over how much she is fed, when she is fed, how long she has to wait before being fed or even brought into the barn. In the spring her stall floods out and I have to buy extra bedding (I use pine pellets) just to keep her dry. Because my neighbors are afraid of being sued by anyone, I am not allowed to bring any family or friends up to see my horse. At home I have a German Shepherd, and he and my horse get along. My husband and 78 yo Mom want my horse brought here as well, so she will definitely be getting a lot of attention and this would be the only way for my mom to see her. I have no room or finances to keep any additional animals for company, but by no means will she spend her days completely alone. I'd appreciate your thoughts on this....

Can this get infected?

Okay so last night I sliced the side of my pinkie finger off and not wanting to bleed put rubbin alcohol and peroxide over it with a bandaid and went to sleep. Tonight before bed I took off the bandaid and now the area around the cut is all white and soft. So I thought I should go to bed without a bandaid because it stopped bleeding and it might heal better, should I leave the bandaid on? Can it get infected???

Can someone explain how the Housing/Dole System works in the UK?

The answer about the JSA �53.45 is right, plus it isn't that easy to find a room and get full housing benefit for it because it has to be within the cheapest third of the range of local rent levels, and a lot of landlords won't take people on housing benefit.

I just disagreed with a conservative, help?

I disagree with Tories all the time, and at every opportunity. Their greed, selfishness and arrogance know no limit, a little like my hatred for them in actual fact. Why they have this holier than thou attitude and misguided belief that they are in some way superior to evereyone else is a complete mystery to me. Time and again they prove to me that they are simply brainwashed by the Tory press and will believe anything the Daily Mail tells them. They are so rigid in their views that nothing will ever persuade them that they are wrong and their sense of superiority is such that they occasionally believe that they are super human. I actually believe all 10 of your points would work equally well. They are very bad losers and to defeat them is like committing murder. I would be inclined to laugh every time a Tory dies myself.

I need help finding a word?

Can beggars be choosers where getting work is concerned?

I think if people arent getting benefits and arent complaining that they cant get work then yes they can be picking... But if somone is complaining about not having a job, is struggling to live on what they have, is on benefits etc then no, they shouldnt be picky... tax payers dont pay you benefits so you can be a snob when it comes to jobs.... So in his case if he can live on the savings he has etc etc and isnt going to be burden on society then its perfectly acceptable for him to be fussy on what job he goes for.. but someone who is on benefits and needs a job, then no, they shouldnt be picky, they should accept what they get... and to get them through it is just think that they wont have that job forever, but for now its money. :)

Should I wear my bikini?

I just got a tattoo like almost 2 weeks ago.. it's still peeling a tiny bit still. My safe grad is tomorrow, and we're going swimming. I don't think I should go swimming since it's not completely healed, but I still kind of wanna show off my body and my tattoo. Should I wear my swimsuit anyway or would it look stupid if I'm just sitting there and not swimming?

I want to ask what is the meaning of a high count of segmenters&neutrophils and low lymphocyte.?

I'm 21 years old, my neutrophils is 86 same with my segmenters and my lymphocyte is 14 but my WBC is normal, The doctor said the results are normal but I think I have a problem with my body.. When I stand for a long time my feet swells when I put pressure on it or pinch it, it does not come back to its normal state. I have consulted a doctor and the doc said that it is a beri-beri and the cause of the swelling is because of the excess water in my body and lack of eating nutritious food like food with Vitamin B but after days of drinking and eating the required food and medicine it still swells if I sit or stand for a long time. my thighs also hurts if I put pressure on it. I'm so scared because I think I have a kidney problem or nerve problem. And also my face is itchy and is red, I think this is also connected to the problem in my body. When I went to the derma she told me to have a CBC result and the doctor said that the result is normal. She said it is because I have allergy on foods like pine apple, mango, dried fish, shrimp, crabs, seashells and also because of the UV rays. She gave me a cream to ease the itchiness and sunblock. I tried it, at first the redness faded but it reddens again. I have plan of continuing my studies but I can't because of my health. Please help me!! Thank you.. God Bless....

Is it just me, or is the federal government funding of private schools and the private health insurance rebate?

forms of middle class welfare that many would be still be able to use, but would choose not to use if the federal government took those away which they are planning to? most people who are in the private sector are middle classes or upper classes using them, very little are people on the dole and lower incomes, so why support upper middle class people? the whole idea of welfare was to help the neediest, not those in the middle or upper enchelons, why did the howard government ever start supporting those who use private, don't people understand the word private?

Can I use dryed pine needles for bedding for chicks?

I would find something else, because pine needles have sharp ends on them. Don't use newspaper, because when they run their feet will slip sideways and it's hard on their joints. You can use grass clippings as long as the lawn hasn't been sprayed with any chemicals.

By now, most of you have seen Obama's latest attempts with U.S. Federal Aid . Do you think his timing and?

As always happened in the past that those nations being supported ended up fighting US ground using the supported weapons and aids given to them in the first place. So, any policy towards this may and will have the same ending tendency.

What can I do about horrible, violent neighbors?

Almost two years ago, my son was walking our dog on her leash. He was near our house coming home when a neighbors dog ( who is always outside alone with no leash) ran up and starting biting my dogs hind leg. My son tried to stop it and the dog bit him. My dog retaliated and badly injured the other dog. (My dog was chow-lab mix, the other a poodle) I've known my neighbors my whole life and new they would do something to my dog so I sent her away. They called animal control who came to my house for my dog. I told them I would only tell them where she was if they promised not to hurt her. They agreed and said I could pick her up in ten days. They put her to sleep. The officer says that I told her to. The neighbors took me to court and we settled bc it was cheaper than the lawyer.I had a doctors report about my sons bite and a few neighbors saw the incident but animal control refused to talk to any of them. I'm upset but there was nothing I could do. My neighbor was mad bc we didn't pay more. A month later, somebody threw my cat on a grill. He was badly injured, but survived and took over a year to heal. Now he is strictly indoor. Another of my cats has disappeared. The latest was the worse. I took in a cat that had been left by another neighbor when they moved. I already knew the cat and they left her pregnant. She went out one morning at about 4am. I found her at 6am in the road in front of their house. She had been shot in the back. We took her to the vet and neither she or her kittens survived. During this time, our car windows have been shot out and my kids bikes were all stolen. I've lived in the house my whole life (it's already paid off) and I don't want to move. My great grandparents lived in this house, that's how long it has been in my family. My mother has health problems and we cannot afford another house big enough for all of us. The police and animal control say they can't help. I don't know what to do. I have another cat now but she is strictly indoor. I'm scared of what they will do next. I've set up cameras a few times but have not been able to catch them yet. I'm starting to be afraid to even let my kids out of the house. What can I do?

Do I need to go to the doctor again?

I got punched in the nose 6-7 months ago, I got an x-ray and the doctor said it was just swollen and it will heal over time. I got hurt in the nose mildly about 2 times in the past few months and it hurt more than it should have I think, my nose kind of hurt a little when I moved it around. Recently it started hurting a lot when I just rubbed my finger on it, I decided to wait a little. After 2-3 days the pain went away and now there is a red pimple. Will this pimple go away and is my nose fine? Do I need to visit the doctor again?

What's the name of this manga?

Okok so i remember it was a oneshot... And there was a doctor in like a dream and there was a guy that looked like a girl in a nurses office and he/she could heal people?

My dad is abusing me?

Apply to get a council house, or in the uk you can get a private rented flat and the dole will pay for nearly all of it, and at college in the uk there are grants u can aplly for. Go to the college website and look or call them and ask them about funding and what you would get. Also speak to the dole and find out all about the benefits you could get until your working. Also go to the doctors and tell them how depressed and anxious your current living situation is and the doctor may be able to give you a letter for the local housing authority to speed up the chances of you getting a house. Help yourself and do ur research thoroughly then get out asap.

My husbands sister who is on the dole regularly has one night stands after a nights out and has also had an on/off affair with a married man for almost twenty years. So what with that and her binge alcohol drinking i do not have much respect for her as I am a clean living person. My husband puts me under pressure to hang around with her but i find her behavoir embaraasing as she is loud and gets banned from places because of this.

I am very confused and of course I love my husband what shall i do?

How much do you get paid on the dole in Aust? (more info)?

I'm an 18year old(almost) and i'm planning to move out next year to Melbourne. I've had 2jobs I worked at a fast food for a year and my current job in retail. I'm not getting the amount of hours i'm after, if I am it's only $70 a week then the next week I won't have any hours. I have rent to pay and a phone bill which makes it really hard to save up. I've tried looking for a job but I can't seem to find anyone whom will hire me. Would I get more on the dole? How much roughly?

Why is the dole given to people who do absolutely nothing but sit on their ***?

Okay theres my friend he does absolutely nothing with his life hes 19 years old and he just sits around the house smoking weed and centrelink still pays him his 400 dollers a week, which he is supposed to be looking for a job and he wont he literally says I CANT BE ****** , then theres me I have to study full time at community college and I went and tried to apply for the dole so i can get assistance for rent, cause I cant work fulltime and study fulltime at the same time otherwise I will fail, and they basically told me to go away because I was apparantly capable of working fulltime which is ridiculous cause how can i balance a fulltime job(40 hours a week) so i can pay for rent,bills with full time study 7 hours a day and 5 days a week including nighttime studying and exams, but my friend who does not study whatsoever or even do anything he still gets money just simply handed to him for doing absolutely ******* it pisses me off sooo much, is this unfair??

Lip piercing, took out when infected before and now it's weird?

Its probably trying to grow shut. Put some rubbing alcohol on it and put your piercing back in. Every day put the alcohol on it and maybe twist the piercing every now and then so your skin doesn't stick to it. It should go back to normal.

How to heal my mouth from braces?

well I have braces and whenever they make a cut or sore in my mouth, which they do a lot, i use something called Oragel Antiseptic Rinse which is a nice, easy to use mouth wash that helps clean and heal all types of mauth sores and pains very quickly and easily. I usually start feeling pain relief from it within a few minutes of using it and start seeing my sores go away within a day or two of using it. In my area, its usually hard to find this stuff but hey, maybe its easier in your area. Oh and I always get the mint flavored kind, which tastes great XD

Does the bleach and pine sol pregnancy test work?

Pregnancy tests are $1 at the dollar store. Just get one there. If peeing in bleach really worked then pregnancy test companies would be out of business. As for when to test...I'd wait at least 2 weeks after sex. And the egg doesn't get released during your period...it typically gets released about 2 weeks before your period but can differ for every woman. And no period doesn't necessarily mean no ovulation. See a doctor and educate yourself a bit before having sex.

Should we break the cycle of generation after generation of welfare familes who live off the government dole from the womb to the tomb by limiting the amount of time that you can receive welfare/social service monies by mandating that an able bodied adult head of the household can collect welfare monies up to a maximum of 30 months after which they are no longer eligible to receive welfare monies over the next 5 years ?

Something is sticking out of my suture area.?

Hip surgery. I have a 2 inch scar that's finally mostly healed. Except something is sticking out at one end. It looks like string. Lots of fibers making it up. I attempted to pull it out but it's really stuck. The suture area is hard and raised. Operation was over 5 weeks ago. I'm guessing that is something that isn't going to dissolve on its own. So what is it? Is this normal? And is it normal to have such a raised hard area so long after surgery? Thank you.

I sprained my ankle about three months ago in soccer. I have been playing on it with my docotrs permission while wearing the brace my docotr gave me.

Tingling then light numbness in right ear?

Hi, I recently went to a very loud restaurant and later had some strong tingling inside my right ear, the ear was in pain the following day so I kept it sealed with cotton. Later I did a hearing test and was about 8" from the speaker at 25% volume, a tone going for 2 second increments at 15khz gave me a ringing in my other ear but the right ear couldn't hear it. Later on I felt a heavy numbness in my right ear, though I could hear normally out of it, the numbness has subsided significantly, but is still there. I feel that going outside in a breeze, my other ear can feel a sensation of air inside but a portion of my right ear cannot, the one with the numbness. Will this heal in time?

Im almost 40 yrs old and my dad still feels compelled to dole out 'friendly' advice on ....?

mostly anything. He is invited to babysit or housesit once in awhile by my wife then he gives me unsolicited advice on parenting. My oldest is 12 i have 2 other boys close in age who are younger. Also have a stepson who is 20. So Im married and have a wife and more than 12 yrs parenting experience. I tell my dad I dont need advice. Most of the time he tells me his way of doing things or is criticizing my choice of doing parenting. Almost critiquing my parenting. He even gets into arguments with me sometimes(like a power struggle). When I was a kid I was the oldest of two and he seemed to favor the other son. My mom died when i was a teenager she seems to have my best interests in mind. I tell my wife about how it bothers me when Im at home and this happens she doesnt seem to care about it. My dad gets monetary benefits for his time here. thanks.

Trying to get close with my brother again after a trauma that occured thirty years ago?

In 1981, my eight-year-old brother Andrew was kidnapped by a family acquaintance and held hostage for three weeks. During this time, he was routinely beaten and sexually abused by his captor. He was also burned with boiling water and forced to listen while his captor made crank calls to our family pretending to be the police, telling us that Andrew had been found. He was rescued after three weeks. It had taken that long to track him down because his captor had them moving around all the time. It's strange to me how a period of time as short as three weeks could destroy so many lives, and leave so many still broken after thirty years. Andrew's body recovered from the trauma, but his mind never healed. The Andrew that came back to us was not the Andrew we had previously known. Before the trauma, Andrew was very social and outgoing. We were only two years apart and always very close. I never had any other brothers or sisters. He was a sweet little boy with a good sense of humor, and, being an older sister, I teased him constantly. Not meanly, but in a playful way. He is the most ticklish person to ever walk planet Earth, and as a little kid he loved it when I tickled his feet. We wrestled and play-fought and just enjoyed being with each other. When he came back, everything changed. Andrew had always been close to me and my parents also, but after he came back he acted like he couldn't even stand the sight of us. I could never understand that. I thought he should be happy to be back with us, people who loved him. He told me when he was older that I was a stranger to him and that there was a gulf separating him from everyone else. He was resentful that other people hadn't been where he had been. When he first came back and started beng like that, I tried so hard to bring him back. I tickle-attacked him like I used to and even though he squirmed and laughed just the same, he didn't enjoy it at all. He wouldn't wrestle either, and didn't seem to want to be around me at all. He did well in school and never had issues with drugs and alcohol, he's been successful in life and has a wife and kids, but for the past thirty years you can tell that something in him is just gone. Something inside him died all those years ago and, despite this, I still hope so hard that I can bring him back. I still see him and our children play together, but that confidence is gone. He underwent counseling as a child and teen but it didn't help him and he doesn't see anyone anymore. I encourage him to see someone about his depression and the pain he still feels but he says it wouldn't make any difference. I'm sorry this post is so long but I just don't know what to do to help him. He's physically healthy and financially stable, but I want to be close to him again and my parents want the same. Is there anything I can do to bring him back, to make us all just a little closer?

AMC.........Since the soap is leaving?

I am so with you on Billy Clyde and Ray Gardner. In the history of soaps, i don't think there has been a villain as malicious and truly scary as Ray Gardner. And Billy Clyde was the stupidest "pimp" I've ever seen. SuperFly he was Not!! Just loved hearing him call Estelle "Lil Darlin'".

Which method is better for declawing a cat - traditional or laser?

I love cats. I have had cats for all my life. Always indoor cats. They're my babies. I have always de-clawed and will continue to do so. I've got a new kitty and have heard that laser de-clawing is less intrusive with better healing times than traditional de-clawing. I'd like to know if anyone has any ideas on the subject of which is better.

A bit of my scab from my tattoo came off and there is no colour underneath?

Whats a good inexpensive tree to put in my horse's pasture?

A nursery is a good idea. Stay with local trees and fast growing. What ever trees you choose make sure their is a fence around it, horses will chew on trees for the fun of it. It also keeps them away from the trees when they are taller, if you only have one or two trees in a large pasture they are lightning rods. I have seen groups of horse killed by one lightning strike. They will still get shade.

Physical therapy advice for my dog... Seriously?

About 3 months ago my beagle hurt his back paw and started limping around on 3 legs. After about 5 days we decided it was time to take him to the vet to see if it was serious. After examining the dogs leg and paw he couldn't find anything wrong so he suggested we give him awhile to see if he starts using it again. Well about a week after that we actually noticed a cut in between his toes on that paw so figured that was the issue. After a while the cut healed but that was about a month and a half ago and he still isn't using that leg. We've taken him on long walks to see if that will help but it doesn't. We also noticed that although he doesn't like to put weight on it that he can with no discernible pain. And finally we just ran out of ideas on how to get him to start using his leg again. Honestly ankle weights are sounding like a good option but not only are they impossible to find for dogs but it just seems wrong so any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated.

How do I stop loving my son?

Hunny, you and your son need some serious psychiatric help (separately is probably the best way to go about this until this scandal passes by). This is not normal, and although it may of been something you felt was out of your control... these sort of tendencies need to be left on the side lines. Please please please go to a therapist, talk to someone besides yahoo.. this is a serious problem, and it has already started to run your life, don't let it take over. Best of luck to you and your son.

Can Ear Gauges go back to normal?

Its a mix of size and healing time. Most gauges go back if you stop at zeros. Anything farther and they'll close but not entirely. Just give them time to heal in between stretches and know that too big won't heal entirely.

Should i wear my swimsuit anyway?

I just got a tattoo like almost 2 weeks ago.. it's still peeling a tiny bit still. My safe grad is tomorrow, and we're going swimming. I don't think I should go swimming since it's not completely healed, but I still kind of wanna show off my body and my tattoo. Should I wear my swimsuit anyway or would it look stupid if I'm just sitting there and not swimming?

I lacerated my head and got 5 staples near my hairline. The back of my head is numb and itches.?

I had a vasovagal episode ( fainted ) and split my head needing 5 staples near my hairline. The actual lacerated area was not really that painful although having the staples put in with no numbing was fun. Having them come out was worst but it's over with. My question is that the back right side of my head is and has been since the injury, numb and itchy. Sometimes I have to pull my hair to relieve this. I'm wondering if I should be concerned or if this is normal, possibly I did nerve damage and it will take time to heal? If it were the area that I split open it would make more sense to me.

Is it a busted ear drum?

I was at my friends house a couple eweks ago, playing his new drums. I only played them for about an hour, but after that I had this very loud high pitch ringing in my ears. I am pretty sure it went away after a week or so (Or I didn't notice it for some reason), but just a few days ago it became noticable. It became noticable after I was at my other friends house with his little siblings, and they were really loud. I was next to one of them that just kept screaming really loud, and I could hear my ear vibrating. I was wondering if I got tinnitus from the drums and the ringing got louder because of the screaming, or if I busted my ear drum from playing drums, it healed quite a bit, but then busted again because of the loud screaming. Is it even possible to get tinnitus from drumming for only 1 hour? Anything will help... my mom is going to take me to a doctor in a few days hopefully (She thinks it isn't serious) but if it is tinnitus, is there anything you can take to sooth the ringing? And if it is a busted ear drum, how long would it take to heal if you have gotten water into it?

Does this sound like pneumonia in my rat?

A month or so ago, my rat started making pigeon noises. We thought it was strange but didn't think much of it. It started getting worse so we went to the pet store to buy him really comfy litter (we were using pine) and the lady at the pet store said that rats have sensitive nasal passages and that the pine might of affected him. At this moment, our rat has only gotten worse. The new litter hasn't done much and he is getting worse. Around his nose, it is red and mucusy. He has hair-loss all over his face and a bit on his back. His energy has gone so down hill. When we cleaned his cage, we put newspapers in as usual (he usually stores it) but he hasn't done a thing. He has shown no interest in his food at all! We are so worried! Does this sound like pneumonia to you?

Disgusting smell on the floor will not go away!?

We live in a small apartment. There was, what we think, a spill of chicken juice from a bag of frozen chicken. We didn't realize it until about 24 hours later and the kitchen smelled like something DIED. It wasn't coming from the fridge, the sink, or anywhere that made sense. We realized it must be the floor. We have washed the floor about four times but the smell is still around. The windows have been open with a fan for ventilation. This has only brought in the flies and gnats. I think they are still attracted to the floor! We've been washing with comet and pine-sol and a sponge. The garbage is emptied, nothing else is sitting around. What else can we do??

My dog has somewhat of injured leg what should i do.?

My dad wants me to exercise it is he right.

Bob Dole's tenure as Chairman of the NRA overlaps with his tenure as U.S. Senator?

Oh man. What does either the NRA and the RNC want with Dole? He was a total screw up as a Senator. Ran away from most political fights with Democrats. Whatever bravery he showed on the battlefields of WW2, he was a total, spineless wimp and white flag waving coward on the battles of capitol hill. He'd rather cave in than fight, and many times he did.

I have a pine dining set that is finished with interior stain/poly combo... can I use yacht varnish over it?

I just re-finished the set last year, but now want to use it outdoors.

Could life get any worse for her?

At my age most teenage girls hate their moms but I have such a close family that i would do anything for her. So my current problem is that she is having the worst time with life. She grew up in an abusive home were she had to cook and clean, and when something wasn't done right her dad would beat her or lock her out of her house for hours. Then when she grew up she married (what she thought was her true love). Together they got through her first two cancers (Hodgkins and cervical) however about two years ago she was again diagnosed with cancer (this time lung). Her husband (not my actual dad) was with her through her surgery and half of her chemo then out of the blue he decides that he wants a divorce. Half way through her chemo he threw us out with no where to go and no money literary we had nothing there was only one person working and that was my sister working a Walmart and that went to the house we finally found. It was a terrible house it was 100+ years old it had black mold everywhere there were gaps between the floor boards and there were gaps between the wall and floor and the ceiling even fell down on us.(by the way living with my mom is me my 3 other sisters, my 2 brothers, and my oldest brothers girlfriend who ate everything and didn't give us a dime) we were then kicked out of that house just so the landlord could more his 5 children in it. We then had to move to another house 2 hours away with only enough room for me my mom and my sisters. my brother had to go live with my aunt and uncle and my oldest brother and his girlfriend had to get their own place (which is actually a good thing however he is now living with us till he gets his own apartment) We are currently still living in the same place but having a terrible time keeping up with the bills because once again only one person is working (my oldest brother) and only spending it on himself and not really helping with bills. we are only getting by on the checks that come from my real father for child support and the ex husband for my little sister. she doesn't even have enough money for her medicine that she really needs without them she might die. I really what to help my mom i'm currently trying to find a job and so are my sisters even my mom is and she has only 1 and 1/3 lungs left (from her surgery) and she can hardly lift anything because she still isn't fully healed. I dont know what to do I really what to help and everyday she struggles trying just to give us a better life and no one is here helping her she is the best and I just want her to have a better life without worry and without fear of were we are going to be in the next week or what we are going to eat tomorrow . she gives up the money for her pills just so we are able to be warm and so we can stay here... I pray every night for something to come to make life better but still here we are...here she is trying to do the best for us.I don't know what to do Please just give me some advice someone i don't know what to do we just need so much help. I know life could be worse and i know that there are people out there that have it worse and i try to think of them and how good i have it and i know i do but i still cant help but think of my family and my mom. My mom is so strong she tries her best to hid her pain and sadness but it comes out at some points she even wishes that she would die just because she thinks that everyone's lives would be better.I just want her to be happy and safe because i wont always be in this house with her. Its like no matter where she goes its still a living hell for her. even in her marriage. in 2003 every night they would fight because he would be so intoxicated. He even attempted to run her over with a van. Throughout the marriage he cheated on her. even after the split he bad mouthed her told lies about her to the point were he friends decided that they no longer liked her they sided with him. everything he said was a lie. He never even loved her he told that to her he said it was a marriage of convenience. HER LIFE HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT A LIVING HELL WHY DOES IT JUST KEEP GETTING WORSE.its like it will never get better. why lord why us why her she doesn't deserve this pain this hatred. I'm sorry this is so long i just need help and i need to vent She has given everything up for her family and friends and this is how it ends up Its not right.Please give me advice.

How do you run normal (i have forgotten)?

you have to use your arms too. 3 quarters of running is arm movement. well, i dont run for fun (thats weird) so i dont know if people who do stop if something hurts or if they get tired, but in track, even in practice, i just run through the pain (inside and outside knee injuries, shin splints possibly, inside and outside ankle injuries, big toe injuries and achilles injuries all on both of my legs) and i dont stop if i get tired. plus, you can build up from running. you dont have to run 5 miles on the 1st day, but no offense, but thats what you get for smoking. it screws up your body, but congrats for being able to succesfully quit. and use your toes. and i dont run long distances (100 through half a mile, long,, triple and high jumps, and 100 and 400 hurdles), but in xc, i heard that breathing through your nose and out your mouth helps, but i think its a load of sh*t. just remember to take in a lot of oxygen and water.

Need help want to make our apartment pop yet be sleek & modern, need paint/painting/decor idea's?

Some years back I had a one bedroom condo that was only 600 square feet and had only two windows. I painted all of it the same color to keep the color continuous and not break up an already small space. Because there wasn't a lot of natural light, I wanted a relatively bright color. I went with a buttery yellow that was very cheerful during the day and went to a more golden, warm yellow in the evening with lamp lights. Kept the furnishings fairly neutral with bits of color here and there. It worked quite well.

Is my hamster sick? :( 10 POINTS~?

She sneezes CONSTANTLY! Especially when she is just waking up. Every now and then she will be quiet and won't sneeze. I know this is bad of me but we had to get pine bedding. CareFresh is very expensive and we don't have the money to keep paying for it 1 or 2 a month. I had some extra CareFresh so I mixed it in with the pine. She was sneezing before we bought the pine bedding, but she has gotton worse ever since we put it in her cage. She eats normally but doesn't drink very often, I catch her drink every now and then but not very often. We can't take her to the vet because it cost alot of money. But if it gets worse i'm willing to take her. She means the world to me. Is there anything I can do? 10 points!! Thanks!~ (:

I am unemployed on Jobseekers Benefit (�ire).. how much Child Support should I be paying to my ex in the U.K?

Let your wife take it through the CSA, you will have to pay �5 a week, that will be taken directly from the benefit. She won't get it backdated as the csa only works from the date you put the claim in. Some mothers assume they will get more going through the CSA but it doesn't always work that way, I know it put my partners payments down when she decided to go that route thinking she'd get more.

Why does this person emulate the handicaps that other people have?

I would ask her why she makes fun of people, and let her know that you don't like it. How old is she? Sometimes people do that when they are young because they think it's funny. When we get older, we realize it's not funny. Discuss it with her, it will help. Otherwise, I don't think there's anything seriously wrong with her.

Would Hydrangea do well in this spot?

I live in Southern California. Hydrangea doesn't do too well here because of the heat. And is normally sold as a shade specific plant. I do know that it does like sun though. There's a corner in my yard, it need something. Mainly it needs the Bird of Paradise that's growing there to be ripped out and replaced with something nicer. So I thought, Hydrangea. It will have a space that's about 5 feet wide and 6 or 7 feet long. The location is under a tree, a pine actually. Right at the base where trunk starts. There isn't a terrible amount of roots there. Never has been. The tree is about 30 - 40 feet tall. I Measured the light the corner receives. From sunrise at 6am till between 11:30am - 1pm it gets the sun. After that its shaded and receives light dappled light throughout the day. Till right before sunset where its receives about an hour of sun. So morning sun, partial dappled light, and an hour of sun at sunset. The soil tends to stay moist in that back corner. Not wet, but it takes about 3 days for the soil to dry. Would hydrangea do well in this corner? Could i squeeze two of them in there?

What is a job of a councillor?

I'm just wondering, coz there are 6 people who I know who are councillors my neighbour and local big mouth farmer, who does nothing but moan, especially at BT, another two from town, who work at the council office with posh cars and moaning to the local press about cuts and how another councillor or AM or MP is doing so badly, and hardly does nothing for you, for example, theres a footpath near my house that needs raparing coz its dangerous and erroding to the river...instead he and the council pays thousands on re-tarring a road that doesn't need tarring, and changes a free car park into a pay carpark, or ordering people to make signs and stuff, spending thousands on helping scroungers on the dole and raise rates and council tax...the rest are old and seem to talk much and do less...if I wanted to be a councillor do I have to be a member of a government like AM(assembly member) or MP? and who exactly is the head of the council? for example gwynedd council..an AM? or all of them?

Dream about arguing with my boyfriend and snow?

In real life I have a long distance boyfriend. He lives in Texas and I live in New York. Currently He's on vacation to California for a month. My dream was that I moved from NY to a house that's in Texas so I can be closer to him. I was laying in I think a bed outside and there was snow on the ground. Also in the distance I could see a frozen pond. I was next to a pine tree that was covered in snow and for some reason I kept touching the tree and the snow. I didn't feel cold in my dream from the snow. Then I think it turned to nighttime, I'm not sure, but I called my boyfriend and I started arguing with him saying that I literally left my family to come and live close by to him and he's on vacation going to California and Las Vegas. After I said Las Vegas I got a text message saying that he's only going to be in vegas for a week. The strange part was that I had a wet napkin up to my face and I was fake crying for some reason. I dont have a problem with him going on vacation so why did i have this dream?

Ear Piercing Allergy- What do I do?

I am soon going to get my ears pierced. For the third time. The first time, I got my ears pierced at Claires with 14k gold posts stamped 14k on the actual post (yes I can read that small). After a few days, the holes started leaking this nasty yellow pus, and my mom put alcohol on them and nothing helped so we took the earrings out amd the holes closed over. I have been cleaning my ears twice a day during that time, and I did not touch my ears. A few years later, I got them pierced again, with gold plated studs. Same story. I really really want my ears pierced. My grandmother sent me 4 pairs of 14-18k gold earrings, and I want to wear them. I'll be fine once my holes heal. I don't know what earrings to try when getting my ears pierced though! I don't want to re-pierce again. My mom suggested that she pierce my ears herself with a sterilized needle and thread floss through like people did in her native Ukraine, but I don't know! Any suggestions?

Did I damage myself from smoking for 45 minutes?

I smoked 2 years ago about half a pack and they were really strong. Today, I smoked a cigar and cigarette in 45 minutes. I tried not to inhale and just held it in my mouth and blew out. I'm still in the process of recovering (my lung capacity is coming back and my nose and stuff). Now, I'm afraid I juts reversed the healing process and I'm really scared. I want my regular lung capacity and breathing to come back. Did I just cause serious damage to my lungs and nose and stuff? Is there anything I can do to accelerate the healing process?

I fought with my husband for a year before he admitted cheating with his cousin while he was in his home country for a few months. He gave me the story it had nothing to do with love it was just sticking his **** in a hole and other crude stuff. He said I wasn't supposed to find out and he didn't want a divorce. He doesn't care I hurt. Well a few months ago we were fighting and he told me he can't live without me and he wants to grow old with me, blah blah. But yesterday I saw a facebook conversation from him to that cousin's sister. he was writing how he couldn't sleep or work. He missed his cousin and he wants her. But he doesn't want to be second option to her stupid boyfriend. And he was trying to get his cousins sister to call her but the girl didn't want to answer the phone and talk to him because she said he left her to go back to his family (me and the kids) and she doesn't want to start an affair again. But I thought me and my husband were ok and trying to work things out. But the message also said he had been talking to her for the past few weeks and thought everything was ok and then she seemed distant and then stopped talking to him altogether. So I assume he has been sneaking off somewhere or at work to talk to her again. When I asked him who he was chatting with he was laughing and saying my cousin. I asked him if they were talking about the girl he had the affair again and he said no just his problems and none of my business. So I snooped and then when he got home that night he changed his password......but it was too late I already saw everything. I don't understand why he can spout things like "I can't live without you" to me and then be so obviously in love with his cousin. I never believed they just had sex a few times because it "just happened" because he came back from his country a different man ...all depressed and stuff. I am planning to divorce him that's not the question. How can he have sex with me here all these months but have been pining for her. What the heck is that? I wonder if he has psychiatric problems because this seems to extreme to just be a cheater and a88hole. Does anyone know any legal options I have for keeping him away from our kids? I am concerned because his affair was INCEST! Also his message says he was trying to get her to meet him in Mexico in July and then sneak her across the border. How can I report this or get them in trouble for this? It really scares me how he can be so normal with me at home and have all this stuff going on in secret..............

Advice regarding kitten and 8 month old child?

definitely do not have the kitten in your room with the baby. You should only have them together when you are there to supervise. I have a 5 month old son and a 3 month old puppy and the puppy sleeps in the kitchen of a night. She used to cry when i first got her but you have to be strong and not go to them, they need to get used to being alone at times. Your baby's health and safety is more important than the kitten being a little lonely of a night. She'll get used to it x

Are "Raw Food" Entrees High in Calories?

Pine nuts, cashews, and olive oil are deceptively high yes. But they are still really good for you, but you would probably be really surprised at the fat and calorie content. For example, a cup of cashews has almost 800 calories!! Did you make the "pizza" yourself or is there are really awesome raw food vegan restaurant somewhere out there??

Should peoples' welfare money be cut if they refuse a job they're offered?!?

Welfare needs to be cut regardless if you have a job or not. Some ppl stay on welfare bc they make more by doing nothing than actually finding an employer that would hire them!

How to heal a broken heart :/?

I really need help. I trusted my bf with anything and everything, including having unprotected sex and using the pull out thing, which caused constant worry afterwards. and he was the first guy I had sex with and my first bf too, and he was older (24, I'm 16) which I loved cuz he took care of me and made me feel so special but now he hasn't texted or called me in 3 weeks cuz I refused to have a 3some. I've realized my friends were right, and he just wanted me for sex and now he's done with me. I cant stop thinking about him and crying, Im so miserable, I've never felt so sad and broken before. I'm hoping to have fun on a cruise this weekend, but idk. What's worse is i can't even tell my parents cuz we had to secretly date. Idk what to dooo!!

Can you answer this question without branching off into some liberal tirade?

Why, if you are on welfare, wic and government medical care, do you have, and continue to have more kids? Libs want to save planned parenthood, isnt the fact that you have tons of mothers on the government dole who continue to have more kids, proof enough that planned parenthood money could be better spent elsewhere?

Staring new Job but no P45?

Your employer will give you a P46 form to complete. They will then send this off to the Inland Revenue to inform them you are now working for them so that the correct tax code can be issued. In the meantime you will be on a standard tax code (747L) but on a 'week 1, month1' basis which means it doesn't take your period of unemployment so far this tax year into account. However, this will be sorted out when your new tax code arrives so it will be evened out.

Why do Republicans nominate the guy who came in 2nd place the last time around for President?

Lets review: 2008 (McCain 1st, Romney 2nd), 2000 (W. 1st place, McCain 2nd), 1996 (Dole 1st, Buchanan 2nd), 1988 (H.W 1st place, Dole 2nd place), 1980 (Reagan 1st place, H.W 2nd place), 1976 (Ford 1st place, Reagan 2nd Place), 1968 (Nixon 1st place, lost by an inch against JFK in 1960). My question to you is why does the GOP do this? Except for 2000, we literally have seen the GOP go with the next-guy-line candidate. Can you explain to me why, without resorting to partisan slams?

Why do most elected Tea Baggers live off the Public Dole? I thought they hated Welfare?

Turns out 15 members of the House Republican Tea Baggers took money from the Tax Payers with Public Farm Welfare programs. Some members took hundreds of thousands. The amounts received since 1995 range from nearly $180,000 (Indiana Rep. Marlin Stuzman) to over $3 million (Reps. Stephen Fincher of Tennessee and Kristi Noem of South Dakota).

Are these things just a coincidence?

I've been thinking recently and alot of major things in my life that have happened I have predicted. For example, I met my boyfriend through mutual friends and as soon as I met him I knew he was going to be important in my life and I would fall in love with him. It wasn't love at first sight, I don't believe in that anyways and I fell in love with him much later. I wasn't surprised when we started dating, because I knew it would happen. I can't explain how, no visions or anything, I just felt it. Also, a very close friend of mine recently moved away and about two weeks before she told me the news I had a very intense feeling/thought that she would be going away somehow. And then she did. Alot of smaller things that have happened to me I have saw coming and/or dreamed about specifically before they happened. And I have also saw things coming for friends and other people I really didn't know. I pick up on peoples personalities well and I can tell alot about them from just meeting them once. I am by NO MEANS claiming I am physic or that I have special powers. I am just wondering if these things have ever happened to y'all. Feel free to call me crazy. Oh and if it helps, I once read somewhere that scorpios(which I am) sometimes have physic or healing powers maybe its just programmed into my personality?

Exciting ideas for dog show?

If you are encouraging people to bring their dogs tone down the kids items like bouncy castle and sumo sites, face painting etc. provide a LOT of shade.and kiddy pools for the dogs. You dont want the place overrun with screaming bratty children that will spook the dogs or get in the way. Provide LOTS of poop bags, have.a secret scouter for "most responsible dog owner award" (always scoops their poop, keeps their dog from pulling on leash, does proper introduction to other dogs etc.) And give that prize at the end of the day

When are people on the government dole going to start manning up?

I have to be honest, I'm an independent moderate and most the people I know who are on the government dole (mostly unemployment) happen to be conservative. In addition, just as many conservatives take social security. I think you are out of touch, both conservatives and liberals take advantage of entitlement programs. The only difference I see is that the conservatives who do, and whine about these programs, are hypocrites.

If you were a boss,would you give a job to someone who has been unemployed for 3 years?

I'm a junior manager in a chemical factory and I have been employing and firing people for nearly 5 years now. What I have learned from my superiors and experiences over the years is if the job candidate have blank spots and short term employments I would automatically think that the person is not reliable and can quit working for me when we need him/her the most. And probably have stability problems. Unless they have a real excuse and they really convince me it's not going to happen again. But no matter what before making a contract with them I would most probably put them on a trial period first for at least 3-5 months. Hope that helped. Good luck finding a suitable job for yourself.

Why are we giving money to China when we owe them money?

Not rational. Charity begins at home. The environmental protection agency should be paying your scientists to do research in this area, then when they discover a new problem solver they could put a patent on it. If you pay China to do all your thinking for you they will eventually take over your country. America's future lies in research and development. If your government had put a patent on the internet your nation would be debt free now. America invents and China, Japan, or India puts a patent on what you invented and makes money out of it.

Am I weird for knowing this?

I am only 14 years old but I am very, very excelled in my education. I am obsessed with college medical textbooks and can tell you all about the body and it's functions. I know how to perform medical examinations and heal deep wounds and know the right amount of medication a patient should have as a dosage. I love how to work with the body and know I can fix a problem. I want to be a Pediatric Oncologist and do data research on patients to cure them. I am made fun of for being like this but I have many friends who think it's amazing I can to this. Should I give up this dream?
