Advice about a new friend i just met and what she did to me last nite? i have 2 small kids. over the summer?

i met another woman, 2 kids at park/indoor play area. we became friends, exchanged numbers, meet at parks etc with our kids. yesterday she called to meet at mcdonalds play area. i went. brought one child cuz my other kid stayed and slept over her friends. i met her there with her 2 kids and one of mine. an employee and mcdonalds finished her shift and came over to talk to my new friend. it seemed like they already knew each other. my friend told me she was gonna walk her out (emloyee friend) to her car and would probably have a quick smoke and be rite back. i said ';fine, no problem';. well, she must have been gone for at least an hour leaving me not only to watch my son, who is only 4 and her 2 kids. i was so mad, i left with my son. when she saw me leave, she and friend ended talk quickly. she asked me where i was going. i told her i was leaving. she apolized. she called me later that nite about 4 times saying sorry. never answer her calls. what should i do. thanksAdvice about a new friend i just met and what she did to me last nite? i have 2 small kids. over the summer?
She's using you and you barely know her. It is not normal to treat someone you barely know like that.





Don't be friends with her.Advice about a new friend i just met and what she did to me last nite? i have 2 small kids. over the summer?
Don't bother calling her back. She's obviously irresponsible so there is no use getting sucked in by her. Incidents like you described will just keep happening and even escalate to downright taking advantage of you. You will be much better without her.
Personally I would be upset too. For a person to leave you hanging for so long shows absolutely no respect for you or your time! Also what kind of mother leaves her kids with a complete stranger?





I used to have a friend that did this to me all the time. She would constantly be late, be disrespectful of my time(Which is precious because at the time I too was a single mom.), and I decided that I couldn't handle this level of disrespect. n the other hand, she was also a good friend and had been through many ups and downs with me through the years.





So the question is....is she worth it to you?
well she was rude. if you want to keep your friendship tell her straight up you did not appreciate the abandonment since it was she that called you to meet. tell her the next time she should ask the other friend to join you instead of abandoning you.
ya dont call back! with her not knowing you very well, she must not be a good mommy leaving her babies like that!


Not saying you would hurt them or kid napped them, she dont know that. RIGHT!
You seem to think of yourself and not others. At least give your ex-friend a chance to explain. Than make your decision . The other woman is better off finding another friend. Good luck to you.
Order a big Mac and a diet coke.
Hi,





Well sometimes when friends get to talking you lose track of time. Since she is being so persistent with apologizing I am sure she didn't mean to leave you that long. Yes, it was rude but obviously she is aware of that. I would answer her phone call and accept the apology.
Well, if you like this woman and want to continue to be friends with her, I would say call her back and tell her how you feel. She seems pretty remorseful, but it is possible that this is just what she does, being that you don't know her very well.





If you decide to stay friends with her and she does it again or something similar, or just something as rude, end it. I am sure you can find plenty of other friends.
that was rude and inconsiderate, let her know that you did not appreciate what she has done. after 15 minutes or so, i would of went outside to see what was going on. atleast she is apologizing and notices she was wrong. work it out, things may be okay, she does it again, then you will have to get a new friend, that is responsible. bd
I would confront her and tell her that it was very rude and that you felt set up. Ask her who the other person was and what she was doing. Tell her that if it happens again, you will indefinitely end your friendship with her. But I would give her a chance to redeem herself. Just cool off and then give her a call back.
Has she done anything like that before? She might have gotten caught up in the conversation and not realized how long she had been out there. If she is normally a self centered person I would just avoid her and she will get the hint. If this is out of character then I would talk to her and tell her you just felt like she ditched you so she could talk with her friend and you could watch her kids... and she was the one that invited you. If she said she was sorry she probably was.
Give her a chance to give you a reason and make sure it doesnt happen again
There is no reason for being so rude. Answer her call, and let her blow hot air so she'll stop trying. Then tell her not to call you again.





Do you really want to be involved with a woman who is thoughtless enough to leave you sitting there with her kids and irresponsible enough to forget that her kids are there?
I think you should accept her apologies but make it clear to her that you did not appreciate what she did. Personally, I would not talk back to someone who would do me like that because that shows me that she only sees me as a babysitter and someone that is going to bow down to her and wait on her while she does whatever it is she wants to do. That's was so disrespectful and was definitely an ill decision made by her. She should feel bad for what she did. You are not her employee and you did not seek out this meeting between the two of you; she did! Give her the boot.
With 2 kids your life shouldn't be empty.This person seems to want a baby sitter than she wants a friend.Cut it off now before her rude and selfish nature gets the best of the relationship later.
shes taking advantage of you thats no friend
that was rude of her. How long have you known each other? not a prime example of excellent parenting skills on her part -- she walked away %26amp; left her kids for an hour? I'd not answer her calls either.
What she did was absolutely wrong and you are right... But people get caught up without knowing, belive me, i had a friend who did it ll the time, or maybe it was something importasnt to say and she didnt want to show you that it was personal.. Or you know smtimes you get to know something from the other person and its soo intreesting or it affects you in a way that you have to keep listening and you just forget about everything, I think you should lighten up, she called4 times right? so she knows it was wrong, people make some mistakes, Be forgiving, Why should you end everything coz of a silly wait... Although i think you are right to be mad...Think about it.
If you want to continue the friendship give her the chance to explain herself, but be sure to tell her exactly how you feel and that you NEVER want to be put in that position again. Good friends are hard to find and even harder to keep....
I am assuming your a single Dad?


She found a babysitter while she was hanging out with her friend.


She was totally rude. Avoid her!
If you still want to be friends with her that I would tell her that you didn't like her leaving you with her kids for so long and that if it happens again you cannot remain friends. Blunt and to the point.
What she did was rude, there's no doubt about it. To leave to make conversation with someone else while you watch her kids is very nervy. I'd be pissed as well if it happened to me. If you like being friends with this woman and don't mind her kids, then call her back. Explain that you felt you were being taken advantage of and that is not the kind of friendship you are looking for. If she values the new friendship, she will not do it again. But if it does happen again, I would end the friendship, no questions asked. PS - make sure playdates are at a different McDonald's so there is no chance of her pulling that again.
With a friend like her, who needs an enemy? I would call her and tell her how I feel, that it was rude of her to leave you with her kids that long. Tell her you felt like she was using you as a


babysitter while she spent time with her friend. Tell her you will not tolerate this in the future, if your friendship is to be pursued. If you do something with her again, and she says she is going outside to smoke, send her children with her. That should show her you are not a doormat!
Why didn't you walk out after ';ten minutes';?


You let her take advantage of you.
Tell her you want a divorce. If she refuses, tell on her.
First of all, after about 15 minutes and she hadn't returned you should have taken all the children out with you to speak with her - without anger, as in join in the conversation. Your new friend would have got the message.





She probably lost track of the time and that is giving her the benefit of the doubt. She apologised and obviously felt badly about what happened.





then you compounded the problem by not answering the phone when she called. it could have been sorted out if you had answered the phone the first time and spoken to her.











It would have been better for both of you if you had held onto your temper at the outset, gone outside with the children after about 15 minutes and joined in the conversation or after she called the first time, picked up the phone and explained how you felt to her.





However....you could think about phoning her to tell her that you were troubled by being left for nearly an hour while she talked to someone else (it was rude, there is no getting around it - something you do not need to spell out to her as she is aware that she was rude) and apologise for not answering the phone when she called.





No one is perfect and now because of your reaction, you may have lost a friend who because she is a single parent, would have welcomed a non-judgemental friend in the same situation.





Be a friend. Forgive and forget. Try again. Friends, real friends are hard to come by.
Leave her alone. She tried to use you as unpaid babysitter on the first meeting and will do it again. I have just cut off contact from someone who used me, and it is a bad situation to get into.
Tell her to hire a baby sitter next time if she wants to hang out with someone else.





You got used.
then u said u forgive nd never accept to be the maid again
Your not a free babysitter! That was very rude of her! Don't associate with her anymore.

Need advice on my new Commodore 64 (games)?

hello I hope you can help me.





I have been given a Commodore 64 for an early xmas present, but it has only come with one game. The big man in the pc world shop said I was joking when i asked for world of warmaking and half light 2? It's ok... haha I realize now that I meant to say world of warcrafts. But I find out they only sell games for the Amastrad PC?





Where can I get these fab games for my commodore?Need advice on my new Commodore 64 (games)?
you are a fat! i like you do you like me?Need advice on my new Commodore 64 (games)?
Hiya





Try eBAy!! they normally have loads... Me and my partner was looking just the other day actually!!
This is an archaic computer that predates Windows. Software from it probably gave Bill Gates ideas FOR Windows.





Sorry man, it will only run Commodore 64 games.
Dunno.Any one want to buy my Atari 800XL?
You stupid twat!
:) You are funny... but I wanna try to explain you anyway what's funny about your question. :)





Commodore 64 has been one of the first wide-spread personal computer in the '80s .. this means about 20 years ago... I think they stopped creating videogames for commodore 64 about 16 years ago... World of warcraft is available only if you own a new pc or a new Apple computer.


You can find games that will work on commodore 64 on ebay :


http://video-games.search.ebay.com/commo鈥?/a>
Damn if you'd have asked me in 1984 i could of helped you...sorry
Seeing as I had mine in 1989ish I don't think you'll be getting any games in PC World. You'll have to try ebay for games but seeing as they were on cassette tapes I wouldn't hold my breath for there being many of them! I used to play Trivial Pursuit or Monopoly, set all the players to be the computer, it's quite funny (or it was at the age of 8!). Also don't you just love the multicoloured loading screen that is there for what seems like hours!
A C64? Niiiiiice!





Go to the porn shops and see if anyone has porned old C64 games for money.





I would sell you mine, but I just found out that you can see the games IN COLOUR on a COLOUR TV!!! So I must replay them all.

    Once you get visitors then you can throw in the ads. its not like your going to be making money anyway with out visitors.





    Also you need to clean it up and make it look more industry standard.

    What is your New Year's resolution? Any advice on what mine should be?

    MINE WILL BE THAT SAME THIS YEAR AS IT HAS BEEN FOR MANY A YEAR IN A ROW NOW. NO RESOLUTIONS. WHY BOTHER? YOU KNOW YOU ARE GOING TO BREAK THEM ANYWAY SO DON'T LIE TO YOURSELF.What is your New Year's resolution? Any advice on what mine should be?
    whine less....have more fun....quit living in the past......be more kind to others........quit putting off projects.......hmmm....there's always the good ol fashioned ';lose weight, be more organized, blah blah blah';, but those never work just because they're a new year's resolution. Pick ONE thing (don't get overwhelmed!!!) that's making your life chaos and choose to resolve it. Just don't wait till the first! When you wake up in the morning get to it. Dont put it off any longer or you probably won't do it on the first either!What is your New Year's resolution? Any advice on what mine should be?
    My resolutions are to workout more, become a better conversationalist, and to stop procrastinating. As far as your resolution, it should be something that your heart desires the most. It can consist of starting an exercise program, eating healthier, stop smoking, losing weight, or developing better self confidence and self esteem. Whatever your resolution is, it should be something that you want to change most about yourself.

    Fitness Gurus -- spare some advice for a old new beginner?

    I've been reading through the Q's %26amp; A's, looking for my answer and I must applaud everyone's generosity.





    Here's my story.





    I turn 50 next month. Noting that milestone in my life three weeks ago I decided to quit wallowing in self-worth issues from my divorce and dedicate the hour I used for porn surfing to trying to land a real woman!





    I'm sure you can imagine -- smoker, drinker, beer belly. So, I created a routine for my hour.





    Here is what I have been doing...


    I bought Carmen Electra's Striptease Workout (a little eye candy for an old man) and do the 15 minute warm up.


    Then I walk for 30 minutes.


    Back home (up 3 flights of stairs) I do 50 curls with 5 lb weights.


    Then, sweating like a pig and gasping for air I just walk around my place for 15 minutes cooling off and drinking water.





    After three weeks of doing this everyday -- I cool down a lot quicker so I think I can do another 5 minutes of ....something.


    And that is the question I pose ...





    My goal is 'better by May'.Fitness Gurus -- spare some advice for a old new beginner?
    your plan sounds great, one concern of mine is make sure you get enough stretches before and after. also watch your diet. you'll be a sexy stripping sum' b*tch yet!Fitness Gurus -- spare some advice for a old new beginner?
    I think this is GREAT!! You are doing a workout that is fun for you and walking is wonderful for the entire body.





    It is never too late to start a fitness plan. I started at 35.





    I can predict what will happen...you will stop smoking soon...and choosing such a long time away? Very wise very wise...
    Here is what you need to do, if you are serious about losing weight and keeping it off. Eat 6 small meals a day about every 4 hours. Here what that will do for you, your metabolism will increase (i.e. Loose weight) and you will have more engry. If you go on a diet and eat less, your metabolism will slow down and store to fat. That is why diets dont work. Only the size of your fist, carbs (examples:baked potato, pasta, oatmeal, beans, corn, melon, apples, fat free yogurt, whole wheat breads)in one and protien (examples:chicken breast, swordfish, shrimp, turkey breast) in the other. You can also eat vegetables and salads with any meal, they dont have none or little fat). 30min cardo exercise every day. Any of these(examples: walking, jogging, swimming,running, biking, ect), Monday cardo, tues upper body (arms: curls, tricep extensions,pull ups, front press)(abdominals: leg pull crunch, leg raises), (chest: bench press, butterfly, pullover)(shoulders: front press, arm pullover, cross county skier machine)(back:seated row, lat pull downs, back extension)(YOU DONT HAVE TO DO IN ONE DAY, mix it up) wed cardo, thurs lower body (legs: leg pull,leg press, squats, lounges) fri cardo, sat upper. Sunday eat anything you want and dont exercising, you do this on sunday so your body doesnt go into starvation mode. YOU NEED TO TAKE SUNDAY OFF. If you stilck with this you will have a great body. also drink aleast 8oz of water daily! Stay away from Mcdonals, Wendys, ect because there is nothing good for you on the menu's even the salads are bad (beaon bits, cheeze, dressing, ect) Good Luck :)
    Pretty good exercise plan. You're cooling down quicker because your body is becoming healthier. That's a good sign so instead of lengthening the time, up the strain a little bit. Do fewer curls with heavier weights, and start working on other parts of the body with the saved time. Up the tempo at which you walk but keep the time the same.

    Social advice on making freinds in a new city

    I am moving to a new City for University so I hope it will be a fresh start, I am VERY nervous about making freinds as I have been bullied a lot and have never found it easy to socialise, I really want to try my best, please can anyone give me advice/hints/tips or ANYTHING to help me make freinds easier?


    I am going to be attending Robert Gordon's University in Aberdeen studying Computer Science, or if you are going to be in the class please email me sbruceandrew@yahoo.co.uk


    thanks to all whom email or replySocial advice on making freinds in a new city
    firstly i am sorry that you have come across arrogant ignorant insecure bulllies !! *** holes firstly you can make a fresh start be yourself try and be happy with who you are and then take one of your interests and purse it go to a group where you will met like minded people make small talk but dont be overbearing and push a conversation if its not wanted but dont shy off on your own eitheras this can put people off try inside feeling confident that is a big plus you can just pretend to yourself for a while even if you aint im sure that once u start your course there will be someone in your class you gel with and then they will widen your friends list good luck sweetie xxSocial advice on making freinds in a new city
    One of the things good about moving to a new city is the fresh start you can have. Hopefully people won't bully you. Some ways to make friends is to join some clubs if you have time. Or a study group might be good cause it offers time to meet new people and keep your grades up. Also just be friendly to people or fake some confidence to go up and talk to somebody.


    Good Luck :)

    Does anyone have advice on moving to a new country with your whole family?

    My parents run an organization which provides health care to rural communities in Guatemala and I just got back from visiting for the first time. I loved working with them...I would love to move there and help with their efforts. Thing is I am a parent of three children ages 5-11. Has anyone experienced trying this? Or any thoughts?Does anyone have advice on moving to a new country with your whole family?
    The opportunities your kids will have in a situation like that more then make up for anything you will leave behind. I was adopted as a baby by two missionaries and spent my entire childhood in 3rd world countries.





    People who grow up in Western society have a prejudice that because they have more ';things'; they have a better life. This is just not so - things do not make a life. In many ways life is better in those places then it is in the states. I am not sure about Guatemala, but I know that in Honduras you could put a 4 year old on a bus by herself to go across the country and never think twice about her arriving safe on the other end - try that in Europe or the USA.





    Since it is your parents running things they should be able to help with the kids, you should at least talk about it with them. It will also allow your kids to learn Spanish which is something that will prove very valuable to them as they grow up. There are really a lot of positive things about doing this.





    But you need to be smart about it also - have some safe house you can run to if you have to get out, and have the money set-aside for the airfare to do so.





    God Bless





    - InezDoes anyone have advice on moving to a new country with your whole family?
    YA JUST PACK UP AND GO THIS IS GODS WORK GO FOR IT IT IS ALL GOOD WHAT A LUCKY PERSON AND WHAT LUCKY CHILDREN YOU AND YOUR PARENTS ARE WHO YOU ARE GO FOR IT GOD IS CALLING
    Yes, don't even try it.
    Well It would kinda be a little hard at first but it would be easy once you get to know the place well enough, but before you move there plan like a month trip with the whole family again then get some1 to show you around the place properly with family, so that way when you decide to move there it would kinda be easier to get around in certain places. its a good idea and its also a good opportunity for the kids it would even be better if it's a country that speaks a different langue so that ways it would be easy for the kids while they're young to learn another langue think of it as a golden key to a better future. good luck
    Go for it!
    You know what maybe you do love that job. But what do you love even more? A job or your own children. Maybe you can go visit and work a little bit. But keep your children where they were first growing up. It will be the best even though it doesn't feel like the best. Trust me.
    LEt your kids grow up before you drag them to 3rd world nations. I think it is a great cause and it is so admirable that you want to get more hands on.





    I think for the time being limit it to summer working-vacations for the whole family. I fear that your children's education would be so lacking if you moved there. The experience of helping in the summers when they are out of school would be immeasurable.





    Try to get the best of both worlds for your kids. You owe your children that! (we all do as parents)

  • New to cats...any advice?

    i am a dog person but my boy friend recently adopted a stray cat that we've been feeding since birth, shes about 10months old now and has TERRIBLE gasses, we feed her dry food and sometimes tuna from the cat cans at a treat, what should we feed her and what brand...btw she gained alot of weight, should we leave the food out for her or give her once or twice a day?any suggestions and advice is welcome thanks in advanceNew to cats...any advice?
    What you are feeding her isn't agreeing with her. You need to upgrade the food. If you can buy it at the grocery store, chances are that it's poor quality. Generally, you get what you pay for so go to the pet store %26amp; invest in the best you can afford to buy regularly.


    Any diet changes should be done slowly by mixing in a little more of the new each day over the course of a week.


    Tuna is truly not good for cats. Stick with real meat or cat food.


    Cats should be fed twice per day. It really is not healthy to leave food out for them all the time. A good amount to start with is 1/4 cup of dry or 1/3 of a 6oz. can. If you feed according to the label you will have a very fat cat! Whatever doesn't get eaten in 10 or 15 minutes needs to be removed.


    Are you sure she's not pregnant? That would explain a suddenly large belly.





    Edit: Cats generally go into their first heat cycle around 6 - 8 mos. They're pregnant approx. 90 days so your cat definitely could be preggers!


    Take her to the vet. If she's pregnant, now is not the time to limit her food intake.


    Best wishes!New to cats...any advice?
    Take her to a vet for shots %26amp; a check up. The vet can recommend a food brand. The cat should be neutered or of course she can end up pregnant. Tuna's not good for cats. Wet cat food twice a day is best. Lots of fresh water available. I feed my cats Science Diet, though a lot of folks don't like that brand. Stick to cat food that is pate like, rather than chunks with gravy. Also you don't want to keep switching brands of cat food, that often causes diarrhea/gas.





    Indoor cats live longer, safer, healthier lives.
    i would just feed her twice a day about half a cup to 3/4 of a cup each time. as for the kind of food, any brand is really fine. i usually feed my cats purina dry cat food or the cheap brand of the same stuff. they like it perfectly fine. and they don't seem to get gas from it or anything if that's what you're asking. oh and make sure the cat has lots of water throughout the day if you are only going to just feed her dry food (which is what I do). GOOD LUCK! Cats are great!
    My cat (that I found as a baby, in the woods) went through a gas phase at one point in his kittenhood - it passed. It might have been because I quit feeding him soft/canned food (a lot of which was tuna-flavored). He only eats dry/bagged catfood now and he also happens to not have gas. I know that with dogs, the cheap brands make them gassy; probably true of cats too.





    Leave the food out %26amp; let her eat as she pleases. Cats know how to gage their eating habits. But since it's true that in dogs, overeating (and eating too fast) can cause gas, maybe you could try curbing her food load if nothing else works.





    P.S. It might be the tuna... i fed my cat tuna cans on occasion there for a few months - might have been during his gassy phase.
    Cats are always hungry, If you leave the food out ur going to a have a bowling ball with legs...feed her 2x a day, mix it up..Ive got 5 and I give them dry in the morning and wet food at night..
    Dont keep changing the brand of food around. Try to stick to the one brand.
    You mean the cat farts a lot?
    i would try different foods, i dont know of anything else that causes gas.


    the cheap, Chinese made, cat food contains antifreeze.


    look into all meat cat food, like instinct.





    i dont like dry food, i never saw a dry mouse, so i assume cats should not have a dry food only diet.





    some cats over eat and get fat, if you free feed. leave out all day. i feed canned twice a day and leave a bowl of dry out all day. but mine are active indoor/outdoor.





    if she has never been to a vet, now would be a good time for a check up.


    if she is not spayed, she could be pregnant, which would be the weight gain.


    pregnant cats show on the sides, burro look.


    fat cats are fat all over.

    Advice on buying a new digital camera?

    wanna buy a Digital SLR camera already looking at a nikon but i wanna know if i can take picture in a fast way with them


    like pro's do you know like runway picturesAdvice on buying a new digital camera?
    If its burst speed your after, the fastest nikon is the D2xs with its high speed crop mode. But it makes the resolution of the pics only 6.8 megapixel. Canon's 1D Mark II n can burst slightly faster and its resolution while doing so is 8.2 megapixel. In addition, the canon has a smaller focal conversion factor of 1.3x vs the Nikon at 1.5x. Meaning the sensor is physcally bigger. Bigger pixels are better pixles.Advice on buying a new digital camera?
    I'm not sure about the Nikon, but the Pentax K10D does have the continous shooting mode (3 frames/second), which is what it sounds like you're looking for. I got the K10D a couple months ago and it worked wonderfully when I photographed a fashion show (runway, like you said).

    My ADHD had been worse than ever since becoming a new mother. Any advice?

    I was diagnosed when I was 13, and now at 29 it's only gotten worse since becoming a new mother. I spoke with a doctor that said maybe Zoloft was my answer. I think it may have helped a TINY bit, but I am so fustrated with my condition. I just want to be the best mother possible to my daughter.





    A lot of people are saying ';It's because you're a new mom.'; But I had it my whole life and I know that it's gotten worse. It's not something that just goes away.





    If anyone else has been in this situation, what worked for you? Thanks.My ADHD had been worse than ever since becoming a new mother. Any advice?
    Zoloft? That won't do a thing, coffee - uppers like Ritalin, not Zoloft. Doc's confusing postpartum depression with ADHD.





    For me? I have ADHD, hyperactive and otherwise - it mostly interferes with my interactions with people, I react too quickly and often over the top and don't read social cues well. I just stay away from people when I know it will be stressful, like when there are a lot of people, and concentrate on the baby - ignore what doesn't matter. Lists help, including writing a time frame with ';eat breakfast'; ';shower';, sounds stupid but it helps me. Lists, lots of external lists that you look at and will see frequently. Really, no antidepressant has helped me with ADHD, coffee helps, as does routine and lists - the best has always been meds but of course since I nurse I did not use my meds and have been off them for 5 years plus now.My ADHD had been worse than ever since becoming a new mother. Any advice?
    being a parent makes you more scatterbrained than ever. if you're thinking about medication, zoloft wouldn't really be a good option... and if you're not wanting an amphetamine type (like ritalin or adderal) try out wellbutrin. that's the one that helped me. I'm 29 and was going back to school after a time away and had a lot of trouble focussing.


    personally, i don't like the amphetamine-type meds... they can increase anxiety and such... though they have the beneficial side effect of weight loss... haha.
    I don't have ADHD, but hormone shifts and vitamin deficiency will make me feel like i do. I would really suggest getting on some good B vitamins - or just continue taking your prenatal vitamins to help you stay focused as much as possible.
    are you fit to be a good mother if your ADHD is getting worse? If you cannot absolutely answer that question Yes, you need to get intervening help.
    Move from task to task, don't stay on one thing, it helps. Calm music helps. Hang with a friend from church that will understand.

    Im gettin a new puppy =] i need advice?

    what kind of food


    and anymore advice you can give me =]Im gettin a new puppy =] i need advice?
    Get Blue Buffalo. He will love it.Im gettin a new puppy =] i need advice?
    Nutro is awesome food.





    Make sure you want a 'puppy' - I prefer to adopt dogs that are already housebroken and out of the chewing stage - otherwise - make sure you sign up for dog training classes and choose a breed that best suits your lifestyle.





    I adopted a 2 yr old German Shepherd - awesome dog for 13 years!! A six week old Rottweiler who forever ruined me from ever owning another puppy - but awesome dog for 11 years. Now the current caregiver for a 4 year old Catahoula - adopted when he was 1 from my local shelter - awesome animal - great with kids, other people %26amp; animals. But training was key with all three.
    I just got a puppy too! Its truely a lot of fun and hard work!


    But first off you need to get a kennel where it can stand up and turn around in, but make sure it isn't too big where it can pee or poop in it.


    You need a kennel because when your gone or can't watch it, you need to put it in their otherwise it will pee or poop all over your house, the kennel will teach it to hold it's bladder.





    Second, get chew toys, because puppies LOVE to bite! And they are very playful!





    Third, get it nutured, because if your getting a male, it won't mark it's territory all over your house, but it has to be 4 months old, and if your getting a female you should get it nutured too, so it won't have its period two times a year.





    Fourth, I have science diet for his food, and I went to the vet to ask him if its a good kind of food and if it's nutritious, and he is it's PERFECT for it's immune system, digestive system, fur, teeth, and a bunch of other things!





    Fifth, make sure you take it to the vet to get all it's shots done!





    Sixth, potty training takes a lot of patience, my puppy is almost done I had him for alomst a month now, it's a mal-shi, a mix of maltese and shi tzu. When he/she is out of it's cage keep an eye on it at ALL times! Don't let him/she on the carpet until it is potty trained. I have a bell by my door to put his paw up to ring it, so then when he is potty trained he will ring the door whenever he has to go out. When he is 8-12 weeks old he can hold his bladder for only about an hour. So take him outside every 1, until he is about 14 weeks old then he would have learned to hold his bladder by you keeping him/she in it's kennel. Then just take him out about an hour and a half, or just keep doing an hour, if it doesn't hold it. Keep in mind that potty training can take up to 8 weeks or even 1 year.





    Hope this helps! =]]


    And Good Luck! =]]
    A meat should be the first ingredient and you should be able to identify most of the ingredients. Don't buy from a grocery store! Buy a good quality food so that you can feed less. Somebody else recommended Natures Variety and I would agree with that. It is a great food.





    I don't know where you are buying your puppy but get it from a good breeder. You could check with vets,groomers and dog trainers in your area for recommendations. Stay away from the designer ';breeds'; like 'doodles and 'poos, they have so many health and behavior issues.





    Good Luck
    be sure to have them ';deprived'; of their sex life, cute puppy collars are good to start off when their young because it builds a dog's since of fashion (yes , dogs have respect for fashion). Also, if you don't want the puppy to sleep all over the house then a nice dog bed made with a long shag-like fabric is the best approved for doggie comfort.


    and puppy chow is pretty good....i have a Maltese and he's picky when it comes to food.


    Good luck
    When getting dog food, one should always know that you get what you pay for. Expensive dog foods usually fill the dogs up more, so they end up eating less. This is healthier for them, and will eventually save you money in the long run.





    As far as my recommendation, I would suggest Purina Pro Plan. This brand has multiple options. Make sure, for your puppy, that you get the special puppy formula. This has healthy fats and nutrients for the puppy.
    get small bags of food to test and see wat ur puppy likes best every day feed him/her dry food once but if it is really young then mostly use wet food make sure it has its own toys so it doesnt chew on u or furniture if it is gonna be an insied dog get puppy pads and tape them down so it wont mess them uptake it outside and play with it alot GOOD LUCK!
    well i have just got a new puppy and the 1st thing she should learn is to do her Business out side other wise you will have to clean up every morning if you want to train her you could before she eats you could hold the bowl above his/her head and say sit and when she sits you will say good girl/boy you should give her pro plan puppy food or Eukanuba puppy food these food are prove'n that these are the best food for your dog i give my puppy pro plan because i have a border collie and pro plan preferred for my type of dog since they are such an energeticetic dog
    Talk to a vet about this, my mother did this for my dog and she probably helped him to live longer because of that.








    If the puppy hasn't already seen their reflection in the mirror, do that too... the reaction is priceless!! And have a camera ready, whether it's a video recorder or a simple camera. I recommend having a video camera with good resolution.

    High quality puppy food.


    The best dry puppy food will be recommended – Getting a recommendation from your veterinarian or breeder is a good place to start. Additionally, if you got your puppy from a breeder you will want to know what your puppy has been eating so you can avoid making a sudden change that can cause digestive upset. This same rule applies if you got your puppy from a friend or your local shelter.

    k so wherever u are buying the dog from, ask them for their opinion and wat they have been feeding him. something natural wld be best. also, in order to potty train him, take him out to ur pasture ( if ur on a ranch or ...) or out out newspaper or somethin on a certain area outside. have treats with u and tell him to go potty, once he does, give him a treat, it works RLY well. b sure u tel him 'go potty' in the same tone. we did it with our lil lab puppy and now she is fully trained so we jst stand at the door and tell her go potty and she knows rite where to go! we also jst bought a maltipoo and are working on the same thing. let me know if u need any more help!! i will be glad to help!! = ]
    Try iams or science diet. as a treat morsel thing on the top of his/hers hard food, get the science diet wet food and put a little dollop on top of his/hers food. also, if you do decide on iams, don't get their wet food. my five dogs don't much care for it (you can try it if you want). i'd get their gravy to put over his/hers meal. hope you have fun with your new puppy and if he starts to chew on furniture legs (like chairs and stuff) i recommend the bitter apple stuff. just spray it on to whatever he's chewing on. Good luck
    I feed my puppy Purina Pro Plan and he loves it! Also try soft treats on the outside and kind of crunchy on the inside it helps when they are teething! Try the sit stay fetch program. you can get six days free in emails by signing up online. It tells you good ideas to how to house break and get them to stop biting and going to the restroom in the house! Good luck with your new puppy! They are always exciting!
    Natural Food is best for dogs. We used to feed Prairie from Nature's Variety. It's small pieces of dry food, so its fine for lil' puppies to eat(:


    http://www.naturesvariety.com/





    Also, if you go on that website to ';feeding guide'; you can put in the weight of your pup, and the activity level, and t tells you exactly how much to give! It's great! (:
    What kind of puppy are you getting? I would get a food made for puppies and I'll be honest with you, I use nothing by Purina. A lot of the other foods have been on the list of foods that was an a recall list and have been known to kill animals. I trust Purina.
    well for my dog i feed it i Am's because my vet recommended it. so i go with i Am's if you don't like that food choice then go to your vet and ask them what type of food you should have for your dog.
    try kibbles and bits. And puppies really need alot of attention. try buying it a little bed to sleep in and some toys for their teething. you should also try training it ASAP and start potty training. GOODLUCK!!!
    we use Purina, our dog is like 15 lbs and like 14 yrs old. just wet it down a lil so it's easier to chew. find a good vet in your area. ask friends. one of my friends is a vet, so we use them. hope i help.
    i love puppies you will have to experiment a little with food.its different with every puppy! :]
    get iams for puppies, and what kind of dog are you getting?


    oh and you will also need those pee pee pad things.
    High quality puppy food.

    I asked this once already, but still looking for new ideas. Married men or women....good advice on a gift?

    Ok, me and my hubby have been together for about 10 years already and his birthday is coming up in early June. I have to say there isnt much that we havent gotten each other as gifts. Im out of ideas. I want this to be romantic but yet cheap. We are going through a rough time with money right now and this makes it even harder. Weve been down this road before and Ive done the homemade cards, food, special ';him'; days, ect. Now Im just stumped to say the least. He is such a wonderful man, hubby, and father and nothing I can think of stacks up to what he means to me. He is not picky and probably wouldnt care if he didnt get anything, but I do care. So any married men...what do you like that your wife has done for you or what would you want. Married women...can you tell me what youve done in this situation. Any ideas will be greatly appriciated. We have a VERY close relationship and we have been dating since 15 %26amp; are 25 now. Dont know if that helps any for our situation.Thanks in advance.I asked this once already, but still looking for new ideas. Married men or women....good advice on a gift?
    an unconventional idea : make a beautiful wish for him and for your love! http://www.themostexpensivewish.com/


    It's new, it's free, it would be a romantic gift from the heart...I asked this once already, but still looking for new ideas. Married men or women....good advice on a gift?
    Hi,





    If you been together for 10 years, you must have a photo and even more than one. This idea starts at $99.





    You create a painting of both of you together, or just him to be cheap. You simple pick a photo you like, and the artists at http://www.paintyourlife.com/ do the rest.





    They will deliver the painting as well.





    Karl Sultana
    hi





    i think you can give them oil painting from their photo means turn their photo in oil painting it will create nice impression on them.





    Capture that special moment.turn it into a masterpiece that will last forever!





    i suggest u to look at this site i think it will help u,





    A great idea for a personal and unique gift is a handmade painting made from a photo that you send.





    Check out this site: http://www.portrait2000.com





    The prices are reasonable and the outcome is amazing.

  • ADVICE PLEASE!! There is this new guy at school who really likes me and I like him but told me he sells drugs?

    I really need advice I never would have thought this. I live in Australia.(this is sort of long)





    He is new to our school and he came on Monday. I saw him in the beginning of the day and thought ';who the hell is that guy!?'; and I haven't ever seen him and of course thought he was new, but I was real intimidated by him from a distance because he looked so old and doesn't look high school age and more like 25 (his build intimidated me a lot too.. I've never seen anyone in high school that can be that muscular without steroids or something).I'm surprised at everything, since I'm not exactly popular at all(I have a couple real good friends) and I don't drink or do drugs or even go to parties and am sort of a theater geek, it seems like I don't really exist to most people but I do take care of myself real well, try for the gym 5 days a week and I don't even wear makeup.





    anyways at lunch on Tuesday i was eating in the cafeteria by myself and he came by and asked if he can sit with me and said he was new and doesn't really know many people..so of course I said yeah sure! and we just started talking until the bell rang,then we basically made plans to go out Friday for dinner and to see a movie, and we did and this is where I sort of found out he ';had A LOT of money';





    The date went awesome and he's so sweet and respectful(very mature)and overall just real easy to talk to and we sort of seemed to have a natural chemistry and got along well. I've always been a hopeless when it comes to a relationship, I've never been comfortable with any other guys before so this was a change, and it felt real nice. He's the exact same when it comes to girls. Well when were about go leave we were outside at a bench and he had to tell me something and no use of hiding it. He told me he sells cocaine, not he's not proud of it. He said he's not a bad person but he has to do it, he lives with his dad who is an alcoholic and is a deadbeat, he told me he has no choice but to buy his own food and rent, and basically to support himself. He said everything else is saved towards college because he knows nobody else is going to help him with money. He explained he's been gathering clients for the last 2 years, and promised he's going to stop when he turns 18. He said he wouldn't ever get me involved with anything if anything was meant to happen between us and also said he's very against drugs himself, has never even tried cocaine. I said I need to think things over, and he said he understands.





    I really need some advice! I REALLY like him...Never met anyone like him before. If you were in my situation how would you react?? I'm going to let him know tomorrow, why not just take the chance??ADVICE PLEASE!! There is this new guy at school who really likes me and I like him but told me he sells drugs?
    I'm not sure how old you are or how old the others that answered are. But I have to tell you, I disagree. I'm not saying he's a bad guy. He could be a great guy in a bad situation. But do you want to get involved with someone in that bad situation? Sorry to tell you this but selling cocaine is NOT a job! It's illegal for a reason. He is contributing to a huge problem. Perhaps continue getting to know him, and come up with a solution without dealing drugs. There's always a way. It may not be easy, but I don't believe anyone ever HAS to sell drugs. It's a choice to take the easy way out. Don't get sucked into that life style. perhaps you can change his mind and be a good influence. By the way, even if he doesn't try to involve you, if you are involved with a drug dealer... that does involve you. Sorry, hope it works out.ADVICE PLEASE!! There is this new guy at school who really likes me and I like him but told me he sells drugs?
    report the little b.a.s.t.a.r.d.
    trouble
    he sounds a lovely guy. unfortunately because of family situations, he is forced to do that for money. i feel very sorry for him. the thing is, that he could get in massive amounts of trouble for the job he's doing.





    as long as he respects you and is nice to you, there shouldn't be a problem. but make it very clear that you will not go out with him if he begins to take the drugs. (once a partner becomes hooked on drugs.. relationship will fail).





    how old is he? is there no other job he can do other than that? cos after a few years of drug dealing, you are taking chances not being caught by police for drug dealing. at the age of 16 he can go to prison for it, so i suggest at 16 he gets a different job, which isnt illegal.





    is there no way he can get away from his father, and perhaps live with another family who can pay for his living rather than him selling drugs. Because it would be awful if he was arrested and got in trouble for this.





    also, with drug dealing, a lot of bad people can be involved that buy it and violence can happen if he won't give a drug user their drugs..





    best of luck though!
    just stop meeting him,he is a dangerous man.If he wants to earn his livelihood,there are many other good ways to earn,why he opted for drugs,just anlyze,he might be having co.of such people,that is why he is doing such things %26amp; be ware such type of poeple are sort of magician in impressing people %26amp; taking them into confidence.Avoid him with immediate effect,else you will invite unknown troubles for yourself.
    Being a drug dealer doesn't make him a bad person, I wouldn't believe that he's never tried any though, even if he has it's not like it matters. Just go out with him, see how he is.
    i would be careful because drug dealers can get mixed up in horrible things and he may even go 2 jail if he is caught... but if he is really a great guy and you trust him you could tell him that you want 2 try a relationship for a while and see how it works out, if everything goes well and he really is not into drugs then i think you should be fine but its your decision... hope i helped and good luck
    do you really like him? do you trust him? answer those questions and you'll know what to do. i never cared what my previous boyfriends did as long as they didn't get me involved. take a chance, if things don't work out you can always break up with him.

    Advice on introducing father's new girlfriend to baby?

    He cheated on me with her when I was 5 months pregnant, so we broke up. I moved 5000km away to have my baby. Now, I am flying out there to stay for two weeks so he can meet his baby for the first time and bond.





    He texted me today asking if his girlfriend can meet our baby. It's what he wants. I have to call him in about a half an hour to discuss it and I have no idea how to handle this situation! I was very hurt by what happened (I was PREGNANT!) and it is really bothering me a lot to have to even think of that situation.





    The baby will be three months. And I am breastfeeding so leaving them with him overnight is out of the question. But what is a good idea that is fair? I really would rather it just be baby and father so they can get a chance to bond. I want him to fall in love with his son like I did and it is something you do one on one. My idea was that perhaps she can briefly meet him at the end of our trip, and while I am present. Is that reasonable? What is?Advice on introducing father's new girlfriend to baby?
    ABSOLUTELY NOT.





    Tell him you are flying there for HIM to spend time with HIS child, not for her to. She has NO rights to this baby. I wouldn't go if he demands his gf is there. I'd say you choose your girlfriend or your child....period.Advice on introducing father's new girlfriend to baby?
    I don't think it's unreasonable for you to say you don't want baby to meet the new girlfriend. Use the excuse that you will be there and YOU don't want to meet her!! If you are breastfeeding, you need to be with baby to meet all of his needs.





    I'm sorry he put you in this position, you're certainly being the ';bigger'; person by flying out there. You're already going above and beyond what you are obligated to. He needs to ';man-up'; and keep girlfriend out of the picture.
    I think it's very big of you to let her meet him at all. Personally, though, I think it's a bad idea. Until she's Daddy's wife, she has no place in your child's life. It's also just salt in the wound for both you and the baby that she's the reason you aren't with the father. I say tell ';Daddy'; that he can either see his son alone or not at all.
    Thats very reasonable, This is in no way about his girlfriend this is you being strong and facing the man who hurt you for the sake of your child. If you don't feel comfortable about her being there, then politely tell him such. You are being much kinder than I would by considering let the girlfriend meet her at the end of your trip. But let him know from the get go that all of this what ever you decide to do its all your call.
    I would tell him, that at this time, it would make you uncomfortable and that you need to put your own mental and emotional health first for the babies sake. The stress of having her involved could put you into post-partum depression and then what will you do? Post partum depression is real and its serious and stress can trigger it. If the babies father is going to be that insenstive to your feelings then you might want to reconsider the visit with him altogether. Your situation must be hard, best of luck to you.
    You have to realize, though its harsh, that this woman might be your child's future step-mother. I think your idea on letting her meet your child at the end of your trip sounds reasonable and hopefully the father will understand. But also realize that even though he hurt you, you have a child together and need to be able to discuss things with one another.
    It's reasonable for him to see the baby, Yes, But then when his girl friend comes in to the situation tell him to **** off. It's your baby, His as well, But he did cheat on you, She had no right to see the baby if you don't want her to. Him, He messed with your life and you own him nothing. The only tie you have to him now is the child, the woman doesn't even come into the situation.
    My answer is that you shouldn't deal with her. Tell him that if he wants to see his baby then it's under your terms. Tell him that you're not comfortable having her see your child and that's that. Just because he asks and it's his new gf doesn't mean she has any right to see the ghild. It's only between the father, mother, and son.
    ummm i would say helllll no to this guy. that tramp can stay far far away from your baby, and you have every right to tell who can be around your baby. sorry to be so blunt, but i would be so pissed if i was you. he cheated on you while you were pregnant with this girl. keep her away, you dont want her thinking its ok and definitly dont want your baby thinking shes another mommy
    on my part, i think you should tell him that you dont want a lot of people around your baby,


    and that it would be to awkward to have his gf over there with you guys,


    thats what i would say,


    but if you are comfortable around him and his gf then just caution your self,


    and if its to much pressure,


    then simply say your tired,


    and you and the baby need your rest...





    GOOD LUCK,
    3 months! Don't worry about it. Its not like the baby will bond with her.





    This guy doesn't deserve someone as nice as you :) Go with it, let him bond, and let the girl come over! You do live far away, its not like he's going to be calling this chick ';mommy';





    I Know you were hurt, but this guy is a loser. You are better off without him . Maybe seeing him again will offer you some closure.





    HOpe all goes well!
    Absolutely not! This meeting is for HIM to meet his daughter, not his girlfriend. I think it is completely out of line for him to ask. If she was his wife it would be different. If this is important to him, he will agree to your terms.





    Meet him somewhere public. A park or resturant. You do not have to leave the baby alone with him unless you have a court order.





    You are being very reasonable!!!
    your ex is a scum. your ex's new girlfriend has no right to see your little baby, and your ex has no right to ask you for ANYTHING like that after what he did to you. you are now a parent, and you have to stand up for what you beleive is right for your baby. your baby and your health comes FIRST, not the feelings of a homewrecker.
    I would tell him wait until you have custody though the courts. That way, he has no right to take off with your baby. My friend is going through a similar situation, and that's what she told him (and is following through with it), so that way he can't hide the child from her without breaking the law.
    I think you are very reasonable, 1. Its your kid and his kid she wasn't there and therefore its not her place to but in.


    Tell him you want it to be just you and the baby, plus the baby will be very distraught as to being alone with a stranger, but I believe your very fair.
    You have every right to not want her there. I wouldnt either.





    This is a big event for him. He is meeting his son for the first time. He could focus on the baby more if he were alone.





    Tell him to leave homewrecker elsewhere for the meeting.
    That is definitaly the right decision. The father should be the person to get to know the baby, not the girlfriend. Let her see he/she at the end of your visit, for a short time.
    If it was a different girlfriend then I'd say maybe- but for the girl that cheated with him- HELL NO!!!!!!! If it weren't for her there could have been a chance that you two were still together?!?!? No way in hell.
    dont let her. they have an agenda. say its ok for him but not for her, maybe when he can prove himself as a dad. dont leave the baby there on its own...pleeeease!.he has deceived you once be careful!
    he cheated why do u have to go fly over there have him come over and visit without that tramp ugghh thats cruel i hate men like that
    i wouldnt let the little homewrecker near my baby and i would make him come to us not the other way around.
    nope, the home wrecker has no rights to your kid!
    Tell him she would corrupt the visit...That's what a judge would say !!!
    just go with it, he's still gotta be in your life.
    wow you sound like you are a very resonable person and very down to earth. I am sorry you are going through such a complicated time. I think it is a good idea to let him meet his son and he should have one on one time with him without the girlfriend around and you have every right to tell him she may meet the baby if he is around but make sure they get one on one time before she does that. I understand you may not want her to bond with your baby and having her see him at the end of the trip sounds like a good idea. Good luck I hope the trip goes well for you
    That is very reasonable. The baby is yours, it sounds like he is not even going to be there when you give birth. So, you ultimately decide who does and does not see the baby. Dont get me wrong, babies are awesome. But, why would she want to see it. It would bother me a lot to know i was with a man while he was with a woman that was 5 months pregnant. They both did something very scumby.





    anyway, your baby. your the primary care giver. you decide.





    oh, and congratulations! May your baby bring joy to your life!
    OK this is really hard to tell any woman but would u rather for him to not tell u and the girl just be there?? Ok since he told u it might be best if u meet her only because when the child gets older and goes to stay with daddy for the weekend u would at lease want to know the female that will be there.





    I would have to meet her first before she can just come with him. Find a place to met her at and just u and her can talk and see whats going on. A good way to get ur feelings off of ur chest. Then after a couple of days if she wants to come with him and u think it is ok then let her if not then tell him no. That is ur choice. AND URS ONLY!!!





    This is how i did it with my ex I told him if he is with someone and my child might be around this female please let me meet her first. Only because I want to know who will be around my child and want to know what kind of person they are only because i am the child's mother and i will be dam*n if i leave my child with him and the female he is with miss treated my child they would have to put me under the jail only because that is my child and i have been there this whole time at night when the kids wakes up who is there (you) when the child needs something to eat who is there (you) when u child gets a boo boo who is there (you) when ur child needs someone to comfort him/her who is there (you).





    I think it would not be a bad thing only because u will know who will be around ur child if he did get to have the kid over the weekend when the child is old enough.





    A mother can tell if a woman will be a grown up and can show ur child what is right and wrong.





    I would do it only so i can see the female and see if i can trust her around my child. That would be in ur best favor.





    But it is all up to u if things get out of hand then leave. Good luck and for me it worked out fine I didnt like her as a person only because she was with him but i know she would never mistreat my child if she got mad at him.
    His cheating behavior has put the responsibility on you to be the ';mature'; parent. It sounds like you are doing a great job so far (flying there despite the hurt he caused you). His request is rather insensitive to you and if it were me I would say exactly that. ';Sorry it took me so long to answer your question about whether your girlfriend could be there or not...I just couldn't get over how insensitive it was.';





    Perhaps she has requested to be there when he meets his child because of his history of disloyalty, i.e. she thinks he might leave her to be with you and the baby. Hear me out on this even if it sounds crazy... She may be worried that he will ';reconnect'; with you because of the undeniable bond two people have when they share a child. She can't give him that. Unless of course they have a child together, which is a totally different story...





    I would simply say to him that you want him to meet his child the way it should have been. Mom, Dad and baby. Anyone else around takes the focus off this special time.





    In order to show your maturity and your lack of threat to their relationship, I would say that I would reallllly love to meet her so why don't we all have quick lunch near the airport the day I fly home.





    Remember what you are making this trip for...your son's relationship with his dad not your relationship with your son's dad. Do what you can to make everybody get along for your son's sake without comprising yourself!
    if it were me no way he is being very unreasonable and selfish to ask you to accept this woman who broke up your marriage and to ask for her to be in the babies life no way no how i think your plan is just perfect the least contact with your child the better and stand up for yourself don't back down she did this to you to not just him you went through the rest of your pregnancy and birthing by yourself while she was lazing with your man sorry but i would slap him and then her but then im nasty. Or are you hoping that falling in love with his son will bring him back home.
    I think what you've thought about is an okay idea, but at the same time, if its going to cause you any grief by seeing her, then don't do it. The purpose of the trip is to intro baby to dad. They will not likely bond over such a short trip, but its a start. I would ask him that fr this first trip, you would prefer it just be him because you want his ful attnetion to be on his son. He should respect that. I would suggest that once he has met his son, and if he and the girlfriend are still together down the road, then the next time he sees the baby, maybe she can come along. I would not leave the child unsupervised at any time...I mean don't leave the house...not the room...and you have a very good excuse in breastfeeding. Its a terribly situation. Awful. Let us know what you decide
    i agree with you. the father should spend the time to bond with him. his girlfriend has no reason to be there. she doesn't need a bond with your son. now if it were his wife, then i could see her wanting to get to know him, but not just a girlfriend. you are perfectly within reason to let the father visit and the girlfriend just briefly meet him. the father is probably scared of his girlfriend getting mad at him for being around you without her and if that's the case, she needs to grow up and he needs to stand up and be a man. best of luck to you!

    Advice: Should I get the new iPhone now or later?

    See I am leaving for new York at the beginning of August and I've already decided to buy the new iPhone on a split plan with a family member. The problem is that I want to keep my same number I have, it is very easy to remember and I dont wanna go through the hassle of informing all the people I know that I have a new number. To keep the same number I have to cancel my current service which doesn't expire until mid August, which would mean I could not get it before New York. My options are to buy it early and kiss my crappy phone goodbye, or wait until I get back from New York so I can keep my same number. Let me know what ya think.Advice: Should I get the new iPhone now or later?
    deffffffinatley later...electronics cost lots more when they first come out rather than like a couple months later. if you're worried about remembering a new number, when you get your iphone, ask the people in the store cuz i know for some carriers they can send a txt message to everyone in your contact list telling them what your new number is. then all they have to do is go to an option on the text that says save number...simple as that. i would wait because it saves you money, and it's not as much hassle as you may think.Advice: Should I get the new iPhone now or later?
    whenever we have changed carriers or plans they are able to ';PORT'; the current number I have. If you wait until July sometimes the carrier if its the same carrier can let you out of your plan. If its a different carrier then you should wait it out or just do the phone number change thing... you can pay for both for a month or two... (ask when signing up if you can change the number later not sure if they can)

    My new kitten is 5 month old...any advice???

    her names Tammy....orange short hair...domestic....My new kitten is 5 month old...any advice???
    General advice?





    Make sure she has access to fresh water at all times. Change the water in her water dish every day and refill it whenever it is empty.





    Feed her a healthy diet of cat food. There are cat foods on the market specifically designed for kittens. Cats don't usually tend to overeat and you can place the daily amount in the bowl in the morning so she can nibble when it pleases her. If she does happen to gorge herself, you can feed her in increments at meal times.





    Keep her litter box clean. Scoopable litter allows you to scoop out tinkles as well as poops.





    Watch out for fleas. If she gets them, a flea dip at the vet is the best remedy. Use Frontline Plus to prevent fleas.





    Play with her. Cat's can get too fat and she'll need exercise. You can ask your local PetSmart or pet store employees for good cat toys.





    If you're so inclined, get a cat condo. Many cats love climing and playing in these.





    Get a cat carrier for safe rides in the car (like to the vet). A loose kitty in the car can be dangerous.





    Check your local laws or ask your vet about tagging and vaccination regulations.





    It is a good idea to get a new kitten checked out at the vet to make sure it is healthy. Pet stores and breeders aren't always as responsible as they should be.





    Have her spayed when she is old enough. This decreases the risk of ovarian cancer and unwanted kittens.





    Also, be sure she has something to claw at and encourage her to use that instead of your furniture. The kitty condo can be good for that and you can find scratchy toys at your local PetSmart or pet store.My new kitten is 5 month old...any advice???

Advice about moving into your new home ?
    i don't think you should be home schooling your children as your spelling and punctuation is terrible...if you are paying for a tutor...stop!! put your children in school and use the money for a deposit on privately rented accommodation in a better area....Advice about moving into your new home ?
    The safety and well being of your children is your primary concern now so i would suggest you move out asap. That is not a good environment there for them. They will become anxious and frightened and children should learn in a quiet and safe place. Look around and I'm sure you can find somewhere else that will appeal to all of you. They spend so much time at home so at least make it a pleasant experience for them. Move.

  • Advice needed for integrating our new kittens!! We adopted a 12 week old kitten and then a 1.5 yr old female?

    We weren't told she was pregnant (of course) and 7 weeks later she had kittens. This was unexpected...but now they are here we LOVE them and want to keep one or two...trouble is...our 5 month old male thinks they are big mice (they're almost 8 wks old now) and I'm afraid he's going to hurt them. He plays a little rough. I need advice. We have an appt to get him neutered soon....and mama kitty too. I truly love these cats/kittens....they are very loved, spoiled, clean, cared for...and our adoption process for the kitties we don't keep will be similar to the shelter. References, Landlord ok, first shots given, etc. I just want them to be safe with our male...running around the house instead of cooped up in the dining room...for fear he'll hurt them. Thanks!!Advice needed for integrating our new kittens!! We adopted a 12 week old kitten and then a 1.5 yr old female?
    This is normal.





    Male cats usually always try to hurt the kittens... and eat them. There is a chance they won't always do this, but it's most likely. When they grow older, this will stop, but the male may try to fight if another is a male.





    I know how you feel, you can feel guilty for leaving them in one room. Maybe switch places occasionally, or give the male cat to someone to hold for a while. If it is impossible to seperate them, you may have to give the male, or the kittens to a better home/ shelter/ etc.Advice needed for integrating our new kittens!! We adopted a 12 week old kitten and then a 1.5 yr old female?
    I think that you should keep the kittens and the male away from each other until the kittens are grown enough. if the male does not stop abusing the kittens then you might have to find a be home=(

    Advice on being w/a new girlfriend?

    I'm 23 years old, typical college grad who likes to have fun. I met this 28 year old woman at the gym, and we decided to grab a few drinks.





    We seemed to click really well as she made me smile, and I kept her laughing alot. I know I shouldn't judge...but I had a questions about her attire.....





    She was wearing knee high black leather boots over her hip hugger jeans, and a cowboy hat, with a tanktop on. I thought it was a little provacative for a first date.





    We've had a few dates afterwards, and it has been really well. We did have sex on the 2nd date, and now we are having sex almost everyday. Any advice with a woman like this? I don't want to go too fast and have it all go away. Thanks. Advice on being w/a new girlfriend?
    Hello,





    If you like to have fun, this girl seems like a hoot.





    If you are interested in making it last as a serious relationship, then just always be open and honest with her. Communication is the cornerstone to any successful relationship.

    Any advice for me with new iphone?

    I just got an iphone and was just wondering if there was anything i should know... like what type of case is better (i heard that if you use hard cases, the iphone overheats but the silicon cases are ok) or any good free apps to download. I also was wondering if there was any possible way to get music on the iphone without buying from itunes and without hooking the phone to your computer. my usb's are out on my computer, so I have no way to hook the ipod to the computer. I have music on my computer which are all on itunes as well, but like i said my usb's don't work.....








    thanks for the help and advice in advancedAny advice for me with new iphone?
    free music: download frostwire or limewire (their both pretty much the same)


    u shuld also jailbreak it so u can get all apps for free and personalize it even more (look up on google 2 see how to jailbreak)





    but u cant do anything without usbAny advice for me with new iphone?

    The good thing is the I phone is as tough as nails.
    yep you need a usb for the computer if you want to do anything like play games on the iphone such as ps2 ones and world of warcraft and movies to music, etc

    I want to just explode I feel angry...Someone please give me your advice. I start a new job its my 4th day as?

    as a Paralegal I am totaly lost and confused I am on a 90-day probation so I am trying to do the best I can to keep this job after that 90-day. Well anyway today I was checking the e-mails and I read an email to the Attorney from the other paralegal that said ';Sandy can start on the 1st or after the payperiod it does not matter to her';


    When I read this I was like are they planing on letting me go I got angry because sandy was the girl that use to work there. Someone what do you think am I jumping to conclutions?I want to just explode I feel angry...Someone please give me your advice. I start a new job its my 4th day as?
    Calm down...deep breaths...you've only been on the job for four days! It's OK to feel a little lost and confused when you start a new job. You need training, and you need time to get used to your new responsibilities and the new environment. They are certainly not planning on letting you go! Take a step back, ask for help if you need it, and work on learning your new job and becoming comfortable with it. You'll get the hang of it soon enough.I want to just explode I feel angry...Someone please give me your advice. I start a new job its my 4th day as?
    You are totally jumping to conclusions... however in this day and age no job is safe without a contract and even contracts just make it harder. Put in your worth and make sure they don't have a reason to let you go. Smile and be sincere and you will go as far as your knowledge and personality can take you. sandy may be a new hire... don't sweat the small stuff. just do your thing.
    Yes, you're jumping to conclusions. You don't know if they're planning on getting rid of you or not. Don't go sticking your nose in where it doesn't belong as you could get fired for sure!





    Give yourself a bit of a break though - it would be very unusual for you to be totally comfortable in your new position after only 4 days. Relax and you might take in information better and be more service-oriented - all good things while you're on probation!
    How do you know she is coming back in the same capacity? She may have been promoted or going to work more closely with someone else there. Relax, you'll live longer. ASK. Why is everything so confusing. Do you have an education for this type of thing?. I dont think anyone would not give you more than a 4 day chance unless you are a total dimwit. ALSO, what is the date it was sent? May be old news from whenever that never got deleted.

  • Any advice on buying a new bed?

    Hi,





    I have enough space to buy a superking bed ( 180cm by 200cm). I like soft and my husband has a bad back.





    You seem to be able spend anything from 700 to 7,000 pounds for the bed and matress. Sales assistanst keep saying spend as much as you can afford on a matress, but they would, they are there to sell!





    On white goods we go for Bosch every time as a level of quality, what is the equivalent in bed frames and matresses?Any advice on buying a new bed?
    If you have the cash to spend, go tempur, it would be the best for you and your husband. There is no inner springs so you don't feel your other half moving around or getting in or out of bed. It has been used by NASA for years for astronauts in space for a comfortable sleep. It molds to your own body shape and is soft and firm at the same time. I have the tempur pillows (couldn't afford the mattress, but one day, lol) and they are so comfortable if you like firm and your head not disappearing in a cloud of fluff, lol. I do agree that you should spend for quality for a mattress, you do spend half your life in bed sleeping so you need a quality product. Best thing to do is you and your husband go to the bed shop and lay on ALL the merchandise and get a good fit for both of you.Any advice on buying a new bed?
    By far the best is the Samsung Microwave Bed, you can get


    8 hours sleep in ten minutes.
    you can get mattresses with different sides. you can have half soft and half hard. mattresses these days can be really unique. so you have endless options
    yer go to the retailer 'dreams' they have good beds stay away from wooden beds if ur a decorator and liek to move things around, they have nyc mattresses too. chek out an online store or go to the shop.
    Try a Tempur-pedic bed. It's soft and yet supports at the same time. It's the best bed for a bad back. Look it up on the web for more detailed info. Once you sleep on it, you'll never want to sleep on another bed again.
    Get a bed with with Dunlopillo Latex Mattress - cost bit more but well worth the Money. Had mine for 10 years still comfortable, very pleased.





    Dont loose shape either.
    Don't cheap out on your mattress because you will be using it for years. I bought a new one recently. It is a California King Simmons Beautyrest and I LOVE it!





    I must have tried over 200 mattresses in differerent stores and this was my favorite. It turned out to be the third most expensive one I looked at.
    get a good sturdy frame you can by these really cheap {try Argos} buy the mattress separate from a mattress shop and try them out and pick what suits you, it is actually true the better the mattress the more it costs we spend almost half our day in bed, i like a memory foam sprung mattress but they can be expensive, but you get a great nights sleep and supports your body and spine better also great for back problems and pregnancy
    I will never scrimp again on a bed. Get the best! they have the ones now that are good for each person...I don't know as I am still stuck with the bad mattress. Single mom and all

    GeForce鈩?8400M GS should serve for moderate gaming


    now you can opt for a better wi-fi 'n' card, should you need to, as also bluetooth


    note: see the warranty %26gt; 3 years premium, all accidents covered (and theft too they claim, or rather you pay for)





    first i would need confirmation that this indeed suits you best, to be able to size up in entirety and look at the other good one's on offer





    # now as far as the 'xps m1530', it is a 15.4'; screen system and hence portability factor is greatly reduced %26gt; 5.8 lbs. or 2.62 kgs starting. and yes should it suit you, the GeForce鈩?8600M GT graphics card should make for better game play





    ... so please first confirm your inclination !Need advice to buy a new laptop?
    The MacBook is probably the best deal for your money. It's a great computer. Almost all my friends have one and they all love them. You can also install windows on it if you need to.
    I've had good luck with the Toshiba brand, you might want to check that out. You also might want two laptops, a regular one and an Ultra-Portable like the Asus Eee PC or one of its many competitors.

    Try the Dell Inspiron 1720. It's perfect for what you've described. With $2500 or less, you could trick this thing out like there's no tomorrow. I really recommend it.

    CLUBS AND SPORTS DID NOT WORK, I TRIEDNeed advice on making friends, new school?
    Just be yourself, you don't want to change who you are in order to attract friends. If you act like yourself, eventually you'll attract people who are like you. That being said, don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone to talk to someone, if you see someone eating alone at lunch, then go and sit with them (if they aren't too weird).





    Something else that you can do is try to talk to people in your classes as you are leaving or before class. BY making one new friend in a class you get to meet their friends and then you get to meet their friends etc.

    I think sometimes you have to put yourself out there. You have to be comfortable with yourself that you can just have casual conversation with others. Don't let fear consume you, step outside the box and take the leap. Show people who you are and that you are strong and able to stand on your own. People will see these qualities and be drawn to you.
    I think you just need to be yourself. smile at people. be nice. don't judge people so hard. if they like you, they do anyway. if you're doing things you dont normally do, people will know, sooner or later. and nobody like hypocrites.





    good luck. :D
    Just Find someone that looks as though they like the same things as u. say hey! and start a conversation. even give them a gift or 2 for christmas and their b-day. Don't go to fast though, or they might think ur being pushy.
    :D Be you, be nice, friendly, kind. :D And relax-it's not your execution. XD It's high school.
    start talking to people and pretend you really like them like say stupid things like ';i love you'; and stuff and soon u will have a nice group of friends.
