i have some things i would like to clarify for taking care of a GSP. 1. what should i put in the tank? (gravel at the bottom? fake plants? those rock structures that they sell at pet stores ex: the pirate ships and castels and such? smooth or rough rocks?) 2.what is the correct amount of blood worms/brine shrimp to feed a green spotted puffer and how often should you feed one? 3how many and what size snails should i feed my puffer and how often? 4.i know that when you buy them they are fresh water but that you have to eventually make your tank brackish for them to live healthy lives. how do i change a fresh water tank to a brackish tank? when should i start putting marine salt in? how much? and how often? 5. water info- what are the appropriate ph, alkaline, nitrate, ammonia, salinity, and temperature levels? 6.should i put any water conditioners in the tank before i put in the fish? or should i just let the tank cycle for a couple weeks before i buy the fish? sorry for so many questions. if you only know the answer to some your help is still appreciated(: Also, my tank is 30 gallons for one puffer

i've had success with this betta in putting him in a community tank before but my mom brought me home a green puffer fish and he got every of his fins eaten so i removed him and he's been living in a 1 gallon vase if that for the past 3 to 4 months i am getting him a 5 gallon bow front tank and i'm gonna put some tiny bamboo or i was gonna ask what to plant the tank with that would make him glad as well as i'm planning on getting a few ghost shimp to clean debris i have 4 in my 10 gallon tank and they do an amazing job and a white mystery snail for this 5 gallon i have a black mystery snail in my 10 gallon but i read over and over again stories of how male bettas will kill a female betta in a tank so i'm gonna set this shit straight i have successfully intoduced 3 females in with a single male betta and he didn't bother them once not even to mate to be honest so male bettas aren't KILLERS like everyone says but i was thinking about doing this again as every my females died 2 yrs along with that male of old age but the male i have that his fins are just starting to grow back is healthy and i wanna introduce one female into his tank but before i do that i wanna know what plants how many ghost shrimp and what gravel or subtrate i should use for the tank for my red betta male

Because of personal reasons I havent been sleeping and when I dont receive snooze, im not hungry, its been 3 days and I cant eat, I feel weak like im going to faint. Until I receive back to normal can I keep drinking milk?

I'm 36 weeks pregnant and until recently I've been eating very healthily, if anything I wasn't eating enough but the past week or so I've had a huge appetite and have been eating way too much. And loads of what I'm eating is junk but I've just been craving takeaway and crisps and when I try to eat healthy food it actually makes me feel sick. I just want to live off of takeout curries, even though until recently I wasn't even that into curry. I'm really worried that this will hurt the baby because I know you're not supposed to eat too much and you're supposed to eat healthily but I can't cease myself. Any advice please?

I'm currently unemployed,19 and a recent high school graduate. I would adore to pursue becoming a professional tattoo artist and feel competent in my artistic abilities. I've recognized for the duration of my 8 month hiatus from gainful employment that I'm open and receptive to the possibility of relocating to a different environment to fully take responsibility for my life- financially, in regards to healthy relationships and feeling empowered about my life. So my question is; 1. Where potentially in the United States or any other place in the world could I relocate to and live, expense wise equitably and afford-ably- empowering myself and living the life I always wanted for myself? thank you for your consideration and responses

my ex gf was just not ready for a relationship even tho she came onto me 7 months back i fell totally in adore with her and miss her so so much everyday every i can think of is how much i adore her and how great she made me feel. but there is nothing now, she wont even talk to me. i literally feel sick every day and find it difficult to eat or snooze. i cant carry on like this its just not healthy in body or mind. i feel like life is just not worth living without her, but i wouldnt top myself its just how i feel i go out with friends work and do every i can to cease myself from thinking but its impossible

From the first day I met him he's had problems. I helped watch his dog for about a month while he checked himself into the hospital. After that things seemed to be okay. I became friends with him merely because he lived right across the hall from "Stevie". However, he would arrive home drunk and pass out in the hallway and knock on my door. He would have fights with his partner...physical knock down drag out fights, knock on my door for help and I would ignore it. Sometimes I would answer. There has always been issues with him. He moved away to Mexico to tutor and did wonderful there, he was glad. Now he's back again. "Stevie" has since I've been in contact with him sent out email blasts to me and every his friends like, "I'm sorry, I don't want to live anymore. I'm going to say goodbye" ...etc. Its a real strain. I want to be a good pal, but there's too much going on. Its REALLY stressing me out. We've since moved to different neighborhoods thank God! Yesterday he called me in a panicked fit--crying and screaming about he doesn't want to go on, he couldn't go on. I could barely understand him. Then he asked if he could arrive over. Not wanting to be a total Witch...I said, "yes". Well he continued to sob and scream about how he can't go on. I immediately reached for the phone to call 911, but asked what would make him feel better and if he could call his doctor...After ARGUING with him about what the best thing to do. I finally convinced him to go to a treatment middle. ..by the way he addicted to xanax, benzos (i don't know what that even is!) and a number of assorted pills. So we went to the Rehab middle. I was VERY uncomfortable. I understand that drug addiction is a treatable problem, but I feel very uncomfortable with the whole thing. The people coming in and out of the hospital, the "code yellow"-fits or fights and "code red"-someone losing it... being broadcast on the noisy speaker there He wanted me to hold his hand, kept babbling about how much it would mean if I came to visit him there. I told him because of the way I feel now, I can't commit to a yes or no. He kept pressuring me so I said, "no". I didn't feel guilty because I was honest. I've tried to be a good pal, but I honestly don't know how to do that for him. He already feels alone etc...I can't and don't want to be the whole world for him! I've got issues of my possess--health, family, work, marriage...I don't have room. I told him when he gets better..maybe things will BE BETTER. For now, I'm kinda done. I'm sleepy 12 years of this stuff. Its getting old. I want him to be healthy and glad, but I can't hold his hand every the way through it. He's got to find BETTER COPING SKILLS and make his was through RECOVERY. thanks I feel better getting this off my chest.

Welfare Poem I cross ocean, needy and broke. Take bus, look employment folk. Nice man treat me good in there. Say I need to look welfare. Welfare say, 'You arrive no more, We send cash right to your door.' Welfare checks, they make you wealthy, Medicaid it keep you healthy! By and by, I receive plenty money, Thanks to you, American dummy. Write to friends in motherland, Tell them 'arrive quick as you can.' They arrive in turbans and Ford trucks, I buy big home with welfare bucks They arrive here, we live together, More welfare checks, it gets better! Fourteen families, they moving in, But neighbor's patience wearing thin. Finally, white guy moves away, Now I buy his home, and then I say, 'Find more aliens for home to rent.' And in the yard I put a tent. Send for family they just trash, But they, too, draw the welfare cash! Everything is very good, And soon we possess the neighborhood. We have hobby it's called breeding, Welfare pay for baby feeding. Kid's need dentist? Wife's need pills? We receive free! We got no bills! American's crazy! He pay every year, To keep welfare running here. We think America darn good place! Too darn good for the white man race. If they no like us, they can scram, Got lots of room in Pakistan.

RED What it represents: Ah, the color of passion, anger and high blood pressure, red is a commanding color. Understanding people who adore it: They act--sometimes without thinking--on immediate desires. In fact they're usually the poster child for immediate gratification. It's up to you if you go for it...or proceed with caution. Orange What it represents: OK, orange is not exactly the easiest color to wear and it's not the most common favorite color but guess what? Orange is as sexy as it gets. Orange is a mellowed red--and it takes primal, lusty urges and mellows them with a softer vibe. Orange is the color of early attractions, emotional responses, and inner magnetism. Oh, and one other thing: Orange is also close to gold, the color of success and wealth. Understanding people who adore it: Someone who likes orange is alive with feelings, the ability to nurture, and can intuit a path to success. If your favorite color is orange, you don't have an "off" switch when it comes to passion. This is every good stuff, but there's nothing casual about the connections this nice of person usually forges. Yellow What it represents: Yellow is the color of the sun, vitality, power and ego...but it's not a great indicator of romance. Watch out for self-centered, me-first energy when someone prefers yellow to the relax of the rainbow. Understanding people who adore it: If yellow is your favorite color, temper your use of the word "I" when you're interested in someone else. You can arrive across as too ego-centric. Now, if you're dating someone whose favorite hue is yellow, make sure to jump in and share stories about yourself, since this person may not give you much room. Green What it represents: Here is the heart of the matter. Green is the color of adore. (It's no coincidence that we make our money in the same color...) Green is the color of life and abundance--leaves, grass, plants--it's every about growing, expanding, and living. So why don't we give ferns instead of roses on Valentine's Day? Because green is about expansive, humanistic adore and acceptance, not bodice-ripping romance. What's more, green is a nice person color, a do-gooder, be-gooder nice of color. This person has a warm heart. Hot passion is probably in there somewhere, buried below the integrity and honor. Understanding people who adore it: If you adore green, you put the greater good before your possess good--but try a little greedy behavior once in a while. Blue What it represents: Blue is a color of clarity, communications and charm. And regardless of the shade, this shade says: "I like to be understood." On the downside, below stress, a "blue" person can send mixed messages, have trouble making up their mind, or just space out. Understanding people who adore it: If blue is your favorite color, you never run out of anything to say--expression is your strong suit. And if you're dating someone "blue"? The same holds true; you should always know where you stand. Purple What it represents: Purple evokes the energy of illusion, imagination and fantasy. Or should we say purrrrple? Purple tends to inspire foreplay, romance, flirtation and teasing--it builds anticipation with playfulness. The downside of purple is unrealistic expectation. Is it easier to live in your fantasy world than the real world? Some purple-lovers prefer it. Understanding people who adore it: If you adore purple you can be an imaginative romantic or prefer imaginary romance--depending on how you feel. White What it represents: White is light--the combination of every colors. White symbolizes purity (the virginal bridal dress, the christening gown) and spirituality. There's a simplicity to it, too. Understanding people who adore it: People who adore white are probably clean and orderly. While white isn't the sexiest color, it is certainly healthy. Black What it represents: Like white, black is a combination of every colors, but instead of purity, it represents the unknown, the unseen--mystery. Black basically holds back information...but there?s no denying that it has strong associations in our culture with "the dark side" and bad.

I need to find the fallacies gift in this text. any help would be appreciated. We took a survey of students in one class of CPHL214 and found that 58% of them believe that extra-terrestrial aliens have arrive secretly to Earth. So, much to our surprise, we had to conclude that around 58% of Canadian students believe in the presence of aliens from space. We thought we had better check our results, so we asked a few student friends in the Green Party if they thought this was right. They said that it wasn’t, so we concluded that we could safely ignore the survey. The survey results did seem odd, because while students are usually more open-minded than their elders, they are usually more sceptical too. Something must have caused the change. Then we noticed that the survey was taken shortly after the Conservative Party got into power in Ottawa. That must be the cause. It must be that the general move towards conservatism includes a tendency to accept things on the basis of little or no evidence, including the existence of aliens on Earth. We also checked with some senior members of the Bloc Quebecois and of the New Democratic Party. They didn’t know whether or not so many students believed in aliens. They did, however, point out that those students who do believe in aliens are absolutely right. Several members of each party knew people who said that they had seen alien spaceships in the night sky, which they said proved that aliens exist and are here. We also talked to some Liberal party executives. These folks said that unless we could prove otherwise, we had to accept the claims of those who believe in aliens. We dismissed that argument on the grounds that Liberals are nowadays trying to increase funding for both defence and space exploration and a healthy fear of aliens might help a lot. No Liberals want to talk about this and some people who do not want to talk about this are downright rude, so some Liberals are downright rude. We also checked with members of the Marijuana Party. They too did not know how many students believed in aliens but said that aliens definitely exist. They argued that unless aliens exist, there is no explanation of things that their members have seen. However, since there is an explanation for what their members have seen - it IS the Marijuana Party, after every - then aliens do not exist. We decided to look if we could test the hypothesis that those who live below a Conservative government are more likely to believe in aliens than those who live below other governments. So we selected some student volunteers who did not know or care who formed our current government. We divided the volunteers into two groups. One was left as a control group – which turned out to consist mainly of science students. They were left ignorant of who governed us at the time. The test group – which turned out to consist mainly of Star Trek fans – was then informed that they did indeed live below a Conservative government. When asked whether they believed in aliens, only 21.3% of the control group said “Yes”, while 22.5% of the test group said “Yes”. So we concluded that having a Conservative government does guide to an increased willingness in students to believe in aliens.

Hello every i've been getting up at 1pm lately and staying up till 12 to 2 am in the morning. I've been doing this since its the summer. Also im still biking around and stuff. I've been eating this lately in the morning: Everyday i receive up at 12pm and have an orange or orange juice and a banana then either cereal ( non sugary usualy a bran flake style thing like raisin brand or every brand) or a sandwitch usually tuna (cream cheese not mayonaise) or turkey or leftovers usually pasta At night i usually have stir fry or pata consisting of one meat a noodle usually pepers roots vegetables and tomatoes. And when i eat chicken or sometimes a steak i usually have that along with two other vegetables the first usally being something like a sweet potatoes or potates and then something more green like leaks or peppers or brocoli. Today i got up at 1:18 pm and its currently 2:09 AM i think im gunna go to bed in about ten minutes. Today i ate Bran flake/whole grain cearal with 1% milk an orange juice and banana. For dinner i had 3 bran muffins with craisins in them and a fruit salad with cherry apricot banana orange peach mango grape and strawberry. Also the fruit sald had cottage cheese on it. Sorry about spelling, im 13 and i live in canada and i go to school in french, so im not the best at typing in english ;)

My healthy, 10-month-old cat got spayed about 40 hours ago. She's had a space collar, or whatever it's called, for about a day now but it's starting to worry me that I haven't seen her use the litter box once. I've been with her 24/7, and the only time I've look her use the litter box was once, for about 26 hours ago, when the space collar was off her for about an hour or so. She didn't pee, but poo. And I mean, she can go long without pooing but not long without peeing! The last time I know she might have peed was about 36 hours ago, when she was still drugged and I realized the towel she was laying on was wet, as well as herself. But that might have happened several hours earlier. And before you ask, yes, she has been eating and drinking. Not as much as she usually do, but she has been drinking and eating enough for something to be able to arrive out the other end. And I'm not sure if it's just my imagination/hypochondriac tendencies but I think her belly (right where her ribs end) is starting to swell up, kinda. And no, I can't "just go look a vet about is ASAP" because a) I don't have the money (but I know someone CAN loan me the money if it's needed) b) I don't have anyone to steer me (my mom is at work and my brother is asleep (it's early where I live)). And now, because I haven't seen her use the litter box in so long, I decided to remove the collar. Her bandage finally fell off earlier this morning, and that was what annoyed her the most the last time she didn't have the collar on. Seeing her she's had trouble with getting stuck everywhere with the collar on, and she just seems very depressed with it on, I had to remove it. I still have it in one piece, and it can be put on again without any difficulties, but I really wish I won't have to. But it would be nice if I could just squirt her with water when she tried to lick her stitches. The stitches are on her stomach and it's so easy to access when it's there (and not on the side, which my previous cat who got spayed did), I'm just waiting for her to start tearing up the stitching. OH, and one more question it would be great if anyone answered. Is it okay that she licks the area AROUND the stitch? Like, 2-3 inches apart from it? Where they have shaved her? Or will the pulling of the skin irritate the wound nevertheless? I know this is kinda long, but I'm literally sick with worry, and it would be really nice if someone could help me so I can receive some snooze. I promise I'll give points to the best answer! :) (Sorry if this is messy. I haven't slept well for the past couple of nights at every. It's 10 am now, but I didn't fall asleep until 6 am this morning - because I was worrying about her so much.) Ok, I'll make it into a shorter story for you lazy readers out there: My cat got spayed 40 hours ago. She keeps trying to lick her stitches. Is it ok for me to spray her with water when she does that? ... And hopefully that'll make her cease doing it? And is it ok if she licks the area AROUND the stitches, and not directly on it? The skin will be kinda pulled in different directions, so would that hurt the wound in any way? annchen121: thanks for the answer. But cats lick their behinds too, don't they? That can't taste good, but they still do it...? marie: squirting cats with water when they misbehave isn't uncommon at every, if that's what you're trying to imply? It doesn't hurt them, but makes them feel uncomfortable and cease whatever they're doing. If you read my whole explanation, I'm sure you'll understand that I'm pretty desperate by now.

I just learned today that the dorm I'll be living in this upcoming year has a mold problem that the school hasn't taken care of. From what I'm told, every of the AC units are moldy- last year, it apparently made one girl sick after she turned her unit on with the window closed. I'm allergic to every kinds of molds, and I have asthma, so I'm pretty worried. It's too tardy to find different housing, and I feel like the school should have taken care of this problem as soon as they realized there WAS a problem. But, there's not much I can do about that. What are some tips that can help me keep healthy for the next year, assuming nothing is done about the mold? Is there something I can do myself to sanitize my room and clean out the mold? I don't think I'm allowed to tamper with the AC unit.

I am getting a tropical aquarium for my birthday! I want to have these fish: Danio's, Guppies, Platy's, Tetras, Rainbow Fish and Rasbora's. I will have either a bunch of tanks, or one huge one! Are these good choices? And, what will they eat? Are there anymore fish that are compatible with every of these fish? What special supplies will they need separately? Can you give me some tips on how to care for these? I already have goldfish so I have some level of experience with fish... Should I have a different pail dedicated to both Goldfish and Tropical Fish? What live plants do you recommend for the Tropical Fish? Are there any bottom feeders you recommend for the tropical? I may sound inexperienced but I just want to be thorough with every the information I need to keep a glad healthy tank for a long time! Is there anything else you want to recommend for me? It mean a great deal of pleasure knowing every these answers! Thank you and have a nice day! Oh yeah, I have this chart:http://www.funfishtank.com/wp-content/freshwater-fish-compatibility-chart-for-you.jpg Do you have any other chart with more fish? By buckets I mean to keep their extra decor in and stuff like that..... I do not mean I want to put them together of course not....

I've got a pair of bettas arriving soon that I'm going to try breeding. I thought I had enough containers assuming that they may have 10-30 strong offspring (the weaklings, I thought, would die off before I'd have to separate the fish into individual containers). Now I've been reading they can have up to 500 babies in one go! I've been searching around online but no one is selling any 'betta containers' like the ones they use in the fish farms in Thailand. And I don't want to try eating so many jars of nutella, peanut butter and other jarred condiments so my fish offspring have somewhere to live (before they're sold). I am asking anyone else who breeds bettas; what are you using to store every your male fighters individually? On average, how many successful healthy offspring have you had from one mating event?

I want to add a 18x24 sunroom onto my log cabin. I'm getting the idea that logs would be cheaper than framing the area out. I dont want to receive reused wood because of potential creosote ... but what is the best wood to live with in terms of creating a healthy home inside and a low maintenance one outside (I live in the NE and need to be insulated from the icy and have a wood that survives the winters)? THANKS!

I am classified as 100% poverty. I have only Social Security, am 63, on Survivors. I have no Food Stamps. I have less than $16,000 a year income. The cost of living here is very high. SS payments are a little higher here and in CA than in other places due to the high cost of living. I did not know that when I moved here. The high cost of living eats this up. I hate taking charity from food banks and hate food stamps. I did not move here due the pfd or the ss increase. The PFD was a perk but not a motive..Mine was taken from me when I could not pay my bills and could not receive work. It was taken when I visited a church close the lawyer who took my PFD. I donated fifty dollars to the church. I will never give another cent to that denomination and it did not imply anything. Although I explained to the court that I could not receive work when I was told I would be able to do so, , then I got down sick, and not able to work, have not enough to live on to meet my expenses for a healthy life style (I borrow money often to buy groceries and pay my medical bills, etc. Forget seeing a doctor.) they took myPFD any way. It would amount to about $100 a month. I have nothing but Social Security. I receive a tiny amt of the pfd, very tiny, very. There is a reduced fee clinic; however after I pay the initial fee, the labs and the meds, xrays, etc., are extra. It saves nothing. They will only address one health issue at a time and I have many: Spastic colon, probably ulcers,stress, gall bladder, gerd, eye injury, need glasses, numb toes, cannot perspire, severe pain every below my waist , ad nauseum. I could not afford the meds I was prescribed lst time I went. I cannot receive out of the apartment without someone stealing from me, comes in and steals, has a key. It makes me crazy. I must rush and rush to receive back here, drives me insane. Steal food, steal sentimental things, have been concentrating on things my daughter gave me. My things have sentimental value to me, every of them. What I have left , what they did not steal from me outside of this state, rip off, receive for nothing....much of which was expensive and which I paid difficult earned cash from my paycheck and savings....the relax I had paid at least part of...they stole from me for little of nothing...criminals ran me out of my home competing for jobs.I have no intention of returning. I am not making out a will. Why? I have nothing. If I had something, I would receive it now. I like money, things, I am the one with the cause for lawsuits. I also will not marry due to this. I have been denied legal assistance my entire life when others would be dirty wealthy. I have no , absolutely no, intention of marrying. None. Not until I am a free person with choice in my life and there will be prenuptuals. Many. I always ate a healthy diet, exercised, went to the gym, or biked and walked, sometimes every. I did smoke off and on due to breathing second hand smoke on the job causing me to want to smoke at home. I also had a lifetime membership in Weight Watchers, which helped me to be healthy, and which I thoroughly enjoyed. It was the best program I ever used to be healthy. I do not like being overweight at every, and it helps nothing whatsoever. Yet. I do not care. Why. I cannot go much of any where. I cannot visit churches and I am not wanted. I will not go to the one I was in. I cede them nothing but lawsuits. I eat because it fills my emptiness. I have music. I like the taste of food. When I have food , I eat. When I don't, I don't. Working kills me too. I am not depressed. I am a violated, abused battered female who has never had rights. They will persecute my husband and my son who were not the problem.Take my money for them, or vice versa. He is dead. I worked for the Deparment of Family Services for six years. I was battered four times due to that by strangers.No more of that. Back to poverty. I worked in health care, went to college for years, honors. I worked in health care, then back to poverty due to my extreme old age, I guess. LOL. I am in poverty. I am sick. I am not going to try to work again. I prefer death. I cannot take any more of it. I never was a very tough person. I am a female. Each toughening up I have had has left me with more severe insomnia and bloody nightmares. It is not worth it. After mydivorce in a criminal community, I ended up in the direst poverty although I had graduated from college with honors. I was not allowed to work in my profession, my divorce was prearranged. I did not know that. It was every set up, waiting. I came out with nothing but a student loan and my daughter. My son enlisted to work. That was not, those things, were not our plans. This has caused me no amount of problems in feelings of insecurity, fear, worry, which will not go away. Distrust of the system is a way of life. I am not a criminal, have no personality disorder of any sort. My major crime is being female, and very much alone but for my kids.

I'm 48 and for some reason, over the past few weeks have started sliding into a depression. Normally I'm a really positive lady with plenty of plans and a healthy outlook. I think perhaps the fact that I live alone and havn't met a guy to settle with is hitting me. This together with the fact that I lost my job last December due to the recession. I went on a 3 month travel and returned home with a plan to go back to that place working freelance. Due to this shift in mood, I've put my plans on hold. I feel like a failure, I find it difficult to do things and very difficult to make decisions. I do not want pills as I believe in my possess strength and not a 'band-aid'. I've been depressed a couple of times before and managed to recover after a few months. I'd just like to hear from anyone who has tips on how to receive over this pain in weeks rather than months. Thanks.

Would you like to live for 90 or more years with few organs removed and lot operations on you and with a bundle of medicines or would you like to live around 70 years in a healthy condition with every organs intact and sudden peaceful death?

My cat has worms and I am wondering how long he can live with them. They don't seem to bother him that much, in fact he actually enjoys them I think. He poops them out then eats them creating a self sustaining life cycle for bot worms and cat. Im even thinking about not feeding him anymore because he is getting pretty fat off the worms, and that doesn't seem very healthy (a fat cat...ewww). How long do you think he can live with this smorgasbord of worms? Beth- that is gross and cruel. Im not touching wormy cat poo and if I take the stool sample what will Mr. Snookers eat?

At the moment it's summer and we have; Broccoli, Carrotts, Cauliflower, Red Cabbage, Potatoes, Eggs (from our four pet chickens), Kidney Beans, Celiriac, Sweet Peas (I think anyway... little peas in a three inch or so green long pod?), Spinnach, Tomatoes. What else would I need in order to live a healthy, balanced lifestyle? What vegetables that I could grow would give me every the nutrience needed to live - Fibre, Protein, Iron etc. For some of the stuff that only grows in summer/winter, I figure I can freeze them after picking and defrost later on in the year. Is it possible to live self-sufficiently? Thank you. Probably should have noted that I'm a Vegan and I don't actually eat the eggs that my hens lay. Lol, any other suggestions encouraged.

like the question says, I won a dwarf frog (I think that's what it was called) at a county fair. Now I know fish from there die quick because that's happened before to me. what I want to know is how long it will possibly live? and what I need to do to keep it healthy? I bought it some blood worms (I think that's what they were called) and I cleaned it's container and put in some water (not to icy or to warm) and watch it to make sure it eats and its glad. the truth is, ive never had a frog or I would know these things haha. so just give me some tips on how to keep it healthy and glad. also, is there a way I can tell if its a boy or a girl? thanks!

I've always wondered if what I eat is healthy, would adore some mature opinions on what you think. Normally for breakfast I have porridge with raisins and sometimes pumpkin seeds or omlette with fresh tomatoe, red pepper and sometimes mushrooms and always a hot cup of white tea (similar 2 green tea just with more antioxidants) I don't drink fizzy drinks anymore, I rarely eat chocolate, I drink atleast 1.5 litres of water a day. Lunch I usually don't eat as I receive up tardy morning so often don't feel hungry, but if I were to eat it would probably be pasta with pasta sauce (dolimo) sprinkle of cheese maybe some chopped chicken or tom's or both. I'm 16 yeard old teen and I adore to cook. For teas I tend to have mackeral, meats like lamb chops mince or chicken, I like making spaghetti bolanese with lamb mince chopped peppers, tomatoes and sprinkle of seasoning really makes the taste worthwhile. It goes down a treat, I drink fruit smoothies, like to eat strawberrys, blueberries with plain icecream or make and bake my possess fresh blueberry muffins which are always so tasty, I also cook christmas dinner which is full of veg and turkey and roasters yum. My vegs & fruit I eat is; brocolli, carrots, peas, sprouts, parsnips, tomatoes, bananas, kiwi's, strawberries, blueberrys, blackberries, pine apple, cabbage, spinach, watermelon, apples, pairs, clementines, mangoe, many really. I'm looking forward to trying avacadoe soon as its great for your eyes and many say it tastes nice. In my spare time I like cooking, watching movies, photography, long walks and maybe long walks with long talks with friends, I like to go out in country and look the animals, adore my music, I tend to avoid partys and music festivals as I am kinda of shy in a sense likely because I don't want to be even influenced to smoke or drink alcohol. I tryied alcohol when I was 14 at my family's party didn't have much but at time I just wanted to impress an old pal who thinks shes chilly. But now I realise it was silly and smoking can kill you and so can alcohol really as it slowly kills your liver and other organs and I want to live a long life and without a few drinks won't hurt? I just wanted an opinion really. Do you think I'm um, too mature? Or not getting out there enough at my age, do I sound healthy? I'm just curious as my friends I don't tend to talk about myself as alot of the time I always just want to hear from them as I know they have had problems which has led them to bad things. I feel I'm a rock overweight, I'm borderling healthy. 16 5ft 6/7 11 rock. My nan has cancer, my mum kicked me out when I was little and never seen my nan mum or brother for 1 an half years as nan is next to mum and brother lives with mum. Since I look my mum every 2 days in week are relation boat ok but she treats me well not nice sometimes, she doesn' care enough. I have an unknown allergy problem and she doesn't take it seriously, first time i was at hers and throat swelled up middle of night rang docs and they rand 999 and mum came over every smug and just laughed while ambulance lady talked to me.. Sorry I wrote so much its just I don't receive to let it out. I don't look the point in telling my friends, many of them are either not listening or oblivious and my recent new pal has dying nan too, but when I got to close to her you know I wanted 2 meet with her more often as she was good to talk to I think she didn't like it as she didn't text me back or call and went out with her other pal I knew as it was on facebook and she never said sorry or anything, but shes a nice girl so I'm being nice and every. Sorry I've written life story, I don't know why its like half past 6 in uk I haven't even slept, I got tonsilitus and find it difficult to snooze. Anyone truely cares would read every Ive said I guess 14 pounds is one rock. :) I forgot to say the music I hear to varies from elvis to bob marley to eminem to insturmental. I was brought up on rap and elvis but one day just got interested in every of elvis and old songs and eversince I have mixed up my music but prefer to hear to the old classics :) Look at this... http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100729230830AA6YDBv&r=w

My hermie just came up from moulting, and he has been in the same spot for about 2-3 days. He hasn't moved at every. He is fairly big and only moulted for about 2 weeks... so i thought it was a little bit abnormal for him to stay down there for that little time. I also have another crab, that just went down to moult when Frisky went up. Do you think he's gone? I'm too afraid to pick him up in case he is still moulting on land. Thanks (: (Oh, also, if he is gone i heard that hermit crabs live healthier if they have a pal, so if one dies... any ideas on what to do? Because i dont want to receive another one.) I know this is alot to take in. Sorry. :D But if anyone has ideas, please tell me! Thank you so much!

I'm 15 a guy I'm 5'4 120 pounds I live in Texas, in a town where there's alot of refining and I have alot of cancer in my family so I thought I had no choice of what I was supposed to eat I am trying very difficult to eat healthy I read this book Fit For Life by Harvey Diamond it really showed me that I can live for a long time if I started now I followed what it told me to do I do not drink soda anymore I don't drink anything except water because it's much easier for breakfast, I eat fruit only fruit it has a high water content and doesn't need to be digested it saves energy for lunch I eat raw vegetables or a salad then for a snack I'll eat maybe some steamed vegetables or nuts then for dinner I might eat some pasta or a vegetarian sandwich I guess I'm a vegetarian, but I don't like being called that and I don't eat fish because I really think it's gross don't tell me i won't receive protein that's stupid people eat beef for protein what do cows eat? Greens. So that's not a problem I don't eat dairy either I find that disgusting what if you saw a cat nursing off a dog same principles apply I receive calcium through leafy green vegetables that's not a problem either I adore bread, and cereal, and pasta I only eat whole grains and every the foods I eat are organic I exercise 30-60 minutes a day I receive my heart rate up to 140-180 and I kinda have some body fat but I is very little though I'm referred to as skinny I think I'm doing good I'm using food combining, so I don't eat proteins mixed with carbs, or protein with starches do you think I'm doing well if you'd like to give advice that'd be great

I have been living with this man for 5 years and we have 3 kids. He works with marine fish. He works with a 19 year old and she was in his unit when he was getting the corals out. They have flirted in front of me before, but he denied it. But a bit of flirting is healthy, so not to bothered about that. I turned up out of the blue and she was RIGHT next to him looking in every the coral bags and said I'll have the purple one. They both looked shocked to look me, she didn't even make eye contact and said bye to him (and she knows me to talk to), but he try to kiss me as he always would. I can't stress enough he HATES people touching his corals when he is trying to sort them out. Then he said she just went in there to ask what he wanted for lunch, then it changed to her asking him if wanted a coffee (he was stressed coz we're not speaking or so he said) then it changed again and he said for F*ck sake she was just helping me. He doesn't let anyone help him. And he got very defensive and hung up the phone. He didn't mention she had a marine fish tank in which he had to set up for her he said why do I have to tell you everybody that has a tank, no he doesn't but the point he didn't want me to find out. The point is i'm not a jealous person and he is, so coz he's constantly accusing me it makes me wonder? And neither of us have ever cheated, well I know 100% I haven't not so sure about him anymore!

I'm 12 and i am 5'0 and i am 122 pounds. i feel very unhealthy when i eat. i can stick to eating healthy. i can hardly ride my bike in my neighborhood because there are cars and so manhy little kids running around in the streets and every the parents r yellin at em. i also live close a highway and my town is so crowded so i can hardly go anywhere. i am not whining on here. i guess my self esteem is down because my brothers tease me that im getting fat and my mom doesnt even help because she usually buys unhealthy snacks. i tell her not to but she does anyway. i was gonna start running with my brother in the morning but he never waits for me or tells me he's leaving. he just goes without any fair warning while im still in bed. i guess i dont have a lot of motivation. and in the pictures i look of me, u look a lot of the fat in my face and stomach. i want to try dance and stuff but my mom wont let me cause she thinks and calls me a quiter. wat r some ways to lose some eight in my body and face? any tips? thanks a plenty. no rude comments plz. i meant to say "Can't stick to eating healthy"

This guy and I dated for six months one year ago before I had to leave to live abroad for a year. When I came back, we sort of picked up where we left off and became intimate pretty quickly because we had already been having sex before I left. It just feels right because there's a foundation there. Recently he told me about a situation where while on vacation he had became really drunk and was told that while with some gay and straight friends, he had made out with some lesbians at a bar.When he tried asking to look me again I felt like I needed to make exclusivity clear to him. I told him that if he wanted to do things intimately with other people that was fine, but that I couldn't be a part of that, that if he wanted to look me, it had to be exclusive. He assumed I wanted a relationship and seemed unsure about that because he thinks I still have a lot to do in life, he knows I'm finishing my bachelor's and have been doing exciting things with my life and he's always regretted not having done some of the things that I am. (he's 29 and I'm 22), I said no I didn't because of the reasons mentioned. We talk about our lives, and know members of each others' family, and he's said he likes and cares for me. He is trying to look me again so I'm assuming he's ok with being exclusive. We're not in a formal relationship, but it seems he's every for being exclusive and have been dating in total for 7 months. Does this sound like a healthy position to be in? Do you think he is sincere about liking me but us just not being in a "place" where we can be in a relationship?

I have IBS for the last 8 years. i'm 29y. I want to go back to gym after 2 years from not going to gym. I did a blood test and the hemoglobin was 14. Because of IBS there is allot of food that i can't eat. I'm already taking 1000mg from GNC American Health Ester-C®. So i want to buy multivitamin. I saw this one from GNC Mega Men® Sport ( but review say it make the urine dark yellow ) so i don't know i feel kinda worried about it. so any advices about this??? and if anyone can advice me about books for IBS that is really good. there is so many on ebay and amazon but i don't know what to buy... since i live in a country with chemical doctors. I need to read and try to be healthy. doctors are giving medicines and when i stopped the medicines I got better and I'm taking GNC stuff to help when i have stomach problem. so much better than medicine.

Okay first and for most I DO NOT have an eating disorder. I'm not in denial either. I consider myself an intelligent person and this is truly a stupid move. However, I decided I am doing it and my mind is set. I do not consider myself fat because I'm not, I'm below weight for my height already. I am not "toned". Like 6 pack. So i've been working out the last few days and worked my way down to eating 1 egg a day, because of the protein content. Also I take a daily vitamin with a few added ones that it doesn't give my daily perfect for. I do not want to hurt my body, because I try to live healthy. My question is, Will it be fine doing this for around 2 weeks? Just to receive my body fat content down a bit. (Diets take to long, Ive known from experience. The rush is because my girlfriend is coming in 4 weeks and I want to be fit when she comes back) Thank you:)

I ride my horse about 5 days a week. Each trip to the barn burns between 400-600 calories. I only eat healthy food, like NOTHING processed, and mostly organic. It's difficult to receive in enough calories through healthy foods like fruit, veggies, meat, dairy, and grains just to maintain my activity level. You can only eat so much. At the end of the day I eat about 1,400-1,500 calories. I'm 15, 5'4, and weigh 95 pounds. I live an active lifestyle away from the barn too. My body simply doesn't have enough time to recover from 5 trips to the barn. Also, when I go back to school, I will be riding 2 horses a day, so i might burn about 800 calories each time I go to the barn. How many calories do I need to maintain my weight? I need higher calorie food, but I don't want to receive calories by eating processed junk. What is a good menu plan for me? My current diet plan is as follows: Breakfast: Green tea, cup of skim milk, steel-clip oameal, 1/2 cup of greek yogurt, with 1/2 cup of berries Snack: piece of fruit like an apple and tea Lunch: organic peanut-butter and honey sandwich, more tea (highest calorie sandwich i can think of thats still healthy because honey still has loads of antioxidants) Snack: salad with soy nuts, tea Dinner: lean protein such as chicken or fish, and steamed veggies) *And yes, I take vitamins to receive 100% of the other vitamins and minerals that my body needs. I also drink 8 glasses of water a day* Please don't tell me th statistics of loosing weight! That's odviously not what i need to do at 95 pounds. I'm looking for how many calories I should be taking in, and a good example of a diet plan.

Aside from murder, cancer, accidents, liver damage from drinking, etc. What causes somebody to die? If somebody is perfectly healthy every their life, why would they not carry on living? Why do organs fail when they are perfectly healthy - purely because they're old? Shouldn't the body be able to regenerate if nothing is attacking us, like a disease or physical weapons? Well-thought-out scientific answers please! i know they receive worn out, but we're not like machines - why can't they regenerate as wounds do?

I'm an adult male living with a family of vegetarians. My wife doesn't like to cook. We both make 2 or 3 things that taste OK, but they're not necessarily healthy. Are there places where you can learn how to cook normal, healthy, good-tasting food? I live close a major US city.

here's my problem that there's no problem! I am a 22 year old architect, recently graduated, This is supposed to be my glad days, but I am not, I have no idea what's wrong with me, it's been two months and I don't go out, I stay in bed every day, i snooze tardy wake up tardy, I have no life, though I am not socially retarded, in matter of fact once I receive out of the home, I develop a leadership nice of a personality, no one would guess what I am going through, I complain a lot, though I shouldn't I don't have serious troubles, great parents, good looking, yet I complain about that, I am never glad or feeling grateful, I find something wrong with everything, I kept criticizing myself until i crushed it,I suffer from excessive stress only because I tend to be an extremest , lately being emotional and constantly feeling guilty, I wish I had a genuine trouble but I don't , I want to blame anything for the feelings I receive, but nothing to blame, I have this strong urge to make my parents proud, and always in fear that I won't . My graduation project was selected to represent my university, and I kept postponing the proposal, I have no idea what's going on it's every i ever wanted, but I am too lazy to move a finger, I am dead literary dead. I lied to the people I know that I am traveling so I won't contact anyone. I've talked to my mom about the situation but i don't want to tire her with every this, because it s been for a while now, I am in constant need of change, every I think about is how to change myself, it's torturing me, because I end up doing nothing . I have no motive ,I got accepted at some university abroad for a masters degree, but it's too expensive, so there was a scholarship, that i've been waiting upon, I got obsessed with it, that I've stopped doing anything but waiting upon their answer which is not out yet, should be looking for job, but no power do that!, it's not even healthy.I am young I should be full of energy , I had lots of plans ahead just months before, they are every gone now.everyone believes in me, except myself, I have a great "fake" confidence that radiates but deep down I have none. I feel dumber for dating a guy for 3 years online that I haven't seen, promised to arrive each time, but he doesn't and he doesn't live that far, yet i cling to him. I can't let go,!! this is pure weakness, as there are no troubles for me meeting guys around me, I blew many chances just because I am being with and every "in adore" . i am no longer strong. This is too long , apologies, though I'd look to hear your comments! Thanks

I am trying to lose weight to join the Air Guard, but i'm off to a slow start. I started a week ago by walking a 2.5 mile hiking trail (the most I walked since having a baby 7 months ago! lol that trail was up and down almost the whole way!) and I went to the river to swim two days this week, but now i'm down to walking half a mile to a mile a day. My muscles are sore! lol. At this rate about how long would it take me? I know theres no way to tell, but in your experience about how long? And should I run untill I about topple over or work up to longer distances? I don't eat what you would call health conscious foods because well, frankly I can't afford it. But I try to eat as healthy as I can with the food I have. I don't eat much (maybe once or twice a day) Plus I live in east Tennessee so when I walk on the road it's up a mountain, does that help any? HA! not eating? I want to go into the military, I have to be as healthy as possible!

I'm going into 8th grade and I still have a little baby fat. I want to loose some of it, but I don't want to barely eat food. I just want a healthier way of living. So, how should I loose the extra few pounds?

Hi, I'm in middle school, and in the town I live in pretty much 99% of the girls here either play softball, soccer, lacrosse, gymnastics, or some combo of those sports. The people who don't are naturally stick-thin. I'm one of the girls that doesn't play anything. I'm 4 ft. 11 in. (yes I know I'm tiny) and my weight bounces between 114 lbs. and 119 lbs. Here are some problems I need to work on: I just like eating food. I snack a lot, and there's not really many healthy snacks around. I prefer the taste of a lot of unhealthy foods to healthy ones. I actually adore to exercise. I kinda like tennis, swimming, and maybe even softball. But the thing is, #1. I like traditional gym workouts, but I'm too young to join a gym, #2. Joining a sport costs money, #3. I'm scared of team sports. every my friends would be on higher levels than me and I'd HATE the pressure of games. Pressure with me can be unpredictable. I will either work harder than usual or freak out and be horrible. #4. I LOVEEE jogging but I run slowly so I can't join a team. And I'd feel embarassed to run just by myself in a park. No one in my town does any other exercise besides sports so I feel like people would think I was a weirdo. I don't know what to do anymore. I hate it when every my friends keep saying, "Really? I don't know how anyone couldn't adore sports!" I also feel horrible about the fact that I hate trying on clothes at the mall and that I don't wear bikinis while everyone else does. I hate that I feel self conscious about my weight when I talk to a guy and that I can't seem to fit into ANY jeans at Abercrombie. Or any skinny jeans for that matter. And I adore skinny jeans. (I am kinda curvy though..are my jean issues because of that or my weight??) And just so you know, even though I would never develop an eating disorder, I think I weigh myself too much. I do it at least once everyday. And sometimes I receive mad at myself if I gain just a pound. Please help me with my health problems. As much advice as possible please! Also sorry if this is waaayyy 2 long :) Thanks! (Also..if this helps I already only eat whole grain bread and I adore water and I hate quick food chains and have clip waaayyy down on my soda drinking, the problem is I like to eat out a LOT at tiny restaurants. Also my mom is very good with diet and nutrition and is healthy and glad, I just feel awkward asking for advice)

I need products for volume (preferably not mousse), products for silky soft healthy looking hair (not chi silk infusion because I live in the UK), products to help backcombing and for longer hair :-) Thanks.

My betta fish has been really pale looking and not looking so good.... he used to be this beautiful royal blue color with some red on his fins. I got him at the beginning of summer about 2 months ago. Not once did he ever make a bubble nest (even when he looked really healthy when I first got him!) I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I feed him about 3 pellets a day(he eats it every up by the way- I watch him to make sure he eats it), I do weekly water changes... I also have this water kit in case if ammonia, nitrite, or nitrate levels are too high!!! (and the levels are perfect by the way... they're not too high at every!!) I don't know what's wrong with him!!! Here's a link to some photos of what my betta fish looks like nowadays: http://s976.photobucket.com/albums/ae245/skwan15/Betta%20Fish/?action=view¤t=CIMG1112.jpg It looks like there something beneath his chin or something.... Maybe he has velvet?!? But I'm not sure if he has every the symptoms... He doesn't look very active either, this morning, I thought he was dead!!!! By the way, I never fed him any live foods before either, so if you think its some nice of bacteria from eating live foods, I don't think that's it. just please help! By the way the last few pics of him is brighter because i shined light with a flashlight on him. yeah! thanks for the answer, zachary, but my betta actually died this morning... but I would still like to know why he died... if anybody else answers

I guess maybe I'm too young to think about this. I'm only 19. When I talk to older people, especially those who are middle aged and elderly, they are impressed by my level of insight and wisdom. They tell me that I am beyond my years, and in a way, much more more developed than those my age. I know that normally I should take this as a compliment, but I find it just makes me feel old and out of touch with people my age. In terms of age, I'm every over the place. I act like a little kid who is full of wonder about the world sometimes, but other times I'm the responsible adult. Sometimes I'm the wise old gentlemen who doesn't worry about the tiny stuff. Then there are times when I act like the guy who just doesn't give a damn about anything. Who ever I am, the point is that there really is no consistency. I won't receive too deep into it, but I don't have a good relationship with my family. My dad plays the role of the alcoholic (or at least someone with an alcoholic personality), my mom the enabler, and I barely even know both of my sisters to even comment on them. The point is that where I live, there is no real adore or sense of belonging for any of us. I know I know, I should just leave them behind and move out somewhere, but honestly I'm terrified to leave. Besides that, I don't know if I'll be able to survive on my possess. I should mention that I have really bad social anxiety, so I don't think I could live with a room mate. I don't have friends or anybody I can really talk to about any of this. The people I arrive across make fun of me for my speech problems. They don't always mean any hurt, but it really gets on my nerves because they don't realize what I've put up with in my life and what I put up with daily. I've received criticism every my life from family and strangers over little flaws in my personality, I really don't need this. I can't explain my social anxiety either because they just don't receive it, not even counselors. Their basic advice is to go out more and meet people with similar interests. Believe me, I've been doing that and I'm not meeting anybody I feel confident to befriend. Even if I do, it usually takes me upwards to a year or two to actually talk more deeply with them. The last point I'll bring up is that I agonize over everything so badly that I feel I will mess up. Sure enough, I usually end up messing up, sometimes coming close to destroying things. I guess maybe it just goes back to when I was a kid and being yelled at by my dad or everybody else for screwing things up. My dad has even called me a bastard and a stupid **** over little things, things which he has done as well. I've reached a point in my life where I can't pretend that I like him. He has just hurt me so badly that I don't think I could ever talk to him again, and believe me, it hurts that I can't have any nice of relationship with him, but what else can I do? I did my best to let him know that I loved him as a kid and I tried to forgive him several times, but I simply can't do it anymore. He never cared enough to change himself for us. It hurts too much to even think about, and it's even harder because my mom defends him every the time, but will never defend me. They say they adore me, but their actions don't talk those words. When I think about it, I tend to think that I'm the one who messed up their lives and caused them to have little money, but I guess it's really their fault because they gave up on life long before I was born. I'd better rap things up before I receive too carried away. Basically, I have barely any support at home, and my parents refuse to admit that they have made some terrible mistakes. Even if they did at this point, I'd probably just say to them, "And it took you this long to figure that out?" and be done with them. I know it's not healthy to internalize my problems, but I really don't want people knowing any of this. It's none of their business anyways. Maybe it's because I wasn't taught to stand up for myself, or maybe I'm just too scared, but I can't let people know that they hurt me because most of the time, I think that perhaps they are totally right. I don't know, I'm very confused. Can you please help me?

Through almost every of my primary school life I was bullied because of my weight, being very noticeably overweight throughout my childhood. The bullying came from my classmates mostly, but also from my brothers and dad, on occasion - though when it came from family it was more like little jokes. Then again, there wasn't much time for my dad to make jokes anyway as he doesn't live with us apart from one day a week. When I was around 11 I started cutting myself, because of the pure hatred I felt about myself, mainly based on how I looked. At the time, I felt it was a good way to cope. A few months later I'd decided to actually do something about my weight and try and eat healthier, which spiraled into what I think was an eating disorder. My absolute limit was 600 calories a day, however I normally either went without food or ate below 400. I'd plan my "meals" for the week in advance. If I did feel that I'd eaten too much then I'd make myself toss up, which happened normally once or twice a week. From that time where I was 11/12 up until now (I am currently 14, nearly 15) I've struggled immensely with self hurt, my weight and my self image, before it every started I was considerably overweight and at my lowest point I was two pounds away from being considered underweight. When I was 13 I made a pal who I could talk to about anything, who finally, after two years of living in hell, I opened up to about everything. He helped me cope with so much and I can't thank him enough. However, my parents have recently forbidden me from seeing him as they think that he isn't a good influence on me (their logic behind this is the fact that he is just over a year older than me). Without him I'm not sure if I'd be alive right now. I think I'm better at the moment. But I'm left with this overwhelming feeling of resentment towards my parents, for not noticing when their child was going through the worst three years of her life. I blame them for not noticing that I was going days at a time without eating, that I was throwing up frequently, that I was crying alone in bed at night - scared and confused. I don't believe that it is something that any child should ever have to go through, and I largely blame my parents for not noticing, which I know isn't right. But now I'm even more resentful due to the fact that they're not letting me look the one person who helped me through it when they weren't there for me. I know it's not right for me to blame them for something that I don't think had anything to do with them, so why am I feeling this way? And what should I do?

Sunday I brought home a 1 year and two month old Labrador. 'Diesel' was about twenty-five pounds underweight, and had a severe flee problem 0_0 (I hate flees). He has lived his entire life on the end of a chain, about ten feet from his 'owners' back porch, yet the sorry idiot couldn't walk that distance and go feed his dog :/ The really bad part about this is that 'idiot' is my cousin, although I insist my aunt found him at a relax cease or something. We cannot share the same blood. So, Diesel the Lab is a handful, to be quite honest. He nearly broke my shoulder when I started leash training, he is very mouthy, he tries to jump up and snatch anything that is in my hand, he has very selective hearing(if you know what I mean..) and lastly, he acts like he doesn't know how to be petted. When I try to stroke his head, he jerks back and looks at me like....wth are you doing? I've had my hands full working with him :/ He is making progress though and he has learned that he very much likes to be rubbed behind his ears. He's gaining weight, had a long bath, and long behold, below every that grim and dirt he was coated with was a beautiful dog :) The only catch is this: I have to return Diesel once my Cousin moves out of his mom's home. The county I live in only has three things you must provide for your pet: -Water -Shelter -Current rabies tag. And that's it :/ So your dog could be rotting away, but so long as he has water [or a bowl of some sort indicating it is watered] then your dog is perfectly healthy -.- I tried asking my Cousin to give me the dog multiple times, I even offered to pay him for him. But he refused. My cousin and I have never gotton along, so part of me believes he is doing this to spite me :/ So, when every else fails...I made a deal. If he would let me have Diesel, I would train him, receive him neutered, work with him everyday, until he would be gentle enough to be around my cousin's two year old daughter. My cousin, after making it very clear the dog would have to be returned to him after he moved out, allowed me to finally take Diesel. So basically, I am expected to take this dog, neuter him with my money, receive his vet exams with my money, use my time to train him, feed him, and buy his heart worm prevention, and then turn around and giving him right back to the creep who starved him. I'm thinking about saying, 'Oh..oh no, Diesel ran off and I cannot find him...darn.' And hide him at a friends home. But the only way I could keep the dog was to make a promise I'm not even sure I can keep :/ Labs are so energetic but he expects the dog to just be calm and mellow around his kid. Not likely. -Sigh- Any input about this? Unfortuently, I cannot keep the dog for myself...I already have four big dogs, but I would NOT mind keeping Diseal until I could find him a proper, responsible home.
