So I'm about to move home into a place that doesn't allow pets (ie cats and dogs) resulting in me having to leave my 2 dogs to go live with my parents. I spoke to the landlord and they are okay with me having a bird provided it is kept caged at every times..(but what they don't know won't hurt them) I'm looking for a bird that is okay to be left alone, in a cage while I go to work and snooze but when I am at home will appreciate coming out of the cage and spending some time with me around my home and enjoys, for lack of a better term, a cuddle. A bird that isn't high maintenance but I'm totally prepared to share my daily fresh fruits and veg's if it means it will be healthier and happier and I don't mind keeping them groomed. Also a bird that can be noisy at times but 98% of the time is considerable silent. I'd rather a bird that likes human interaction, I'm not phased if it's one of those "talking birds" I'm just in it for the bond and company. Any suggestions?? I am also prepared to take the time of raising a bird from young if that is what it takes to receive the bond

I am working at an office, always sitting n front of a pc, then weekends at a nightclub where everyone smokes, and running the bar for long hours is very stressing, esp that u have to be awake and look good on monday for office.....this is what im doing now, not complaining cos i receive $$$. Well now im 19 so i can endure it, but i cant imagine myself doing this in 2 years time. I am good at art, histroy of art. Fluent in 4 languages......i was thinking maybe tour guide especially that i live in a very touristic sort of place...but im not sure about the pay in there. tried to check but no luck :P I've imagined myself in different careers, starting from a sports coach cos i was good at sports but now dropped it....to interpreting (sedentary job also unfortunately)....and from a teacher to a hotel manager. non to toot my horn or anything but i am not stupid at every and very difficult working....but i dont know what my aim is. They say take it step by step, but i cant, because i dont know what to aim for!!!!!! i mentioned a good pay because with every the things i want to do, i need cash. Who doesn't.....but if i know i can chose a good paying career to an average one, i will :-) I also model but i lack a few cm to pursue it into a professional career. Plus i dont want to follow the crowd of those barbies would rather use my brain
So I haven't been laid... in a long time, and not filling in my sexually urges is rough. I use to be religious (I'm just became an Atheist a little over a month ago), I became religious when I was 15 and the last time I had sex was shortly before I became religious. When I was religious, I had a rough time not having sex but I continued looking at porn for a replacement, which made me feel really guilty and I thought God was punishing me for looking at it. Now that I'm Atheist, there is no more guilt, it every vanished. Now that I know I can have sex without getting "punished" it really has become a huge urge, I'm 22 now, so it's been a rough 7 years. But getting into a girls pants isn't every that easy, plus, I don't think it's right to just receive into a girl's pants and then screw with her emotions, etc. So I went to a strip club tonight after watching the Superbowl and after the strip club I just felt so much better, yes, it's still a strong urge to have sex, but it felt good watching girls act sexually live. So I'm just wondering if there are any health benefits from going to the strip club.
I have recently decided to make the change from vegan to raw vegan because I want to be healthier. I live in a nearly carnivore family, just meat and fries really is every my family knows, so I don't receive exposed to much food other than that. Are there any beans I could eat raw and wouldn't have to cook to protein?
My pal & I have known eachother for about two years now. Although we've only met through the internet, I have fallen deeply in adore with him. We talk on the phone a lot, and he says he'll probably visit me sometime in the summer. I know everything about him, & we talk constantly. He helps me with every of my problems no matter what, & I will always be willing to do the same for him. I'm 15 & he's 17, which I think is a pretty good age difference. I always thought he had the same feelings for me, since he has told me things like "You're so pretty, but you don't believe it. I find myself lucky that I've met you. It's normally the pretty ones that are stuck up & greedy, but somehow, you're perfect" (I copied his exact words) He's said other things like that, but that was the most recent. Yesterday he told me he USED to like me when we first met, so I said "But you don't now?" & he said "Put it this way, if you were only 2 years younger, lived closer, and were still you, and asked me out, I'd say yes. I like you as a pal but a lot." He said there that he only likes me as a pal. I wish he wouldn't have led me on, because if he wouldn't have, I wouldn't adore him as anything more than a pal. I don't believe I'll ever quit loving him, he is an amazing person & I should be lucky to even have him as a pal. He doesn't know how I feel about him, I was going to tell him, but now I don't think it's such a good idea. Also, why would he like me a more than a pal back then, but only like me as a pal now? And are there any healthy ways of dealing with this nice of pain? Sorry, I know I wrote a lot, it's just difficult to keep your feelings bottled up inside
I have some questions and concerns regarding my gynecomastia situation. I'm not sure if anyone will respond to this letter but I figure it's worth a shot. I'll start off by asking if you could be so nice as to read this entire letter even if it may sound boring. I have been exercising vigorously and consistently for about two years now. I am 5 foot 7 inches tall and weigh about 155 lbs. I perform mainly short, high intensity workouts and some weight lifting, anywhere from 2 to 4 hours a day. I am a firm believer in having a healthy diet and a high activity level every throught out the day. I believe I suffer from the hormonal gynecomastia and not the excess fat form of gynecomastia because I am thin but I have "puffy, pointy" looking nipples. Although I am pleased with how the relax of my body looks because I have a muscular physique and a six-pack. However, my chest is not proportional with the relax of my body and contains a little too much fat. I have been doing everything you're suppose to do as far as having a healthy diet, eating foods that increase metabolism, eating smaller more frequent meals about six times through out the day, working out every muscle groups, taking one day off per week, implementing muscle confusion, incline and every chest workouts three days a week, cardio in between muscle building days, and avoiding things such as beer, marijuana, unhealthy foods, simple carbohydrates, basically anything you have mentioned not to do. It wasn’t difficult for me to take these steps because that’s how I have been living my life for the past couple of years. I remember hearing that people who suffer from hormonal gynecomastia don’t receive very far with just eating right and exercising because that is not the source of the problem. I need your advice on what the next step should be, whether I should try a certain type of pill, while maintaining this healthy active lifestyle, or to just continue what I've been doing and that eventually things will receive better, which seems unlikely at this point. I went to my primary doctor about this concern of mine and he told me that there is absolutely nothing I can do except surgery. I asked if there were any hormonal pills he would recommend and his answer was that there is nothing out there that would specifically melt my chest fat and that everything is a scam. I understand there are guys out there that have it a lot worse than I do, which is why I have been so patient and persistent with this strict lifestyle for quite some time now. I’ve had friends say things to me such as why are your nipples so difficult, to nice Hershey kiss nipples, to nice A cup. I know it sounds silly but when you base your life around constant exercise and nutrition, it’s difficult to explain to people what’s wrong with me and ultimately humiliating. It would be like looking at a UFC fighter who is in excellent shape with man boobs and thinking, “something is definitely wrong there.” Clearly, the only thing I haven’t tried yet is hormonal pills, but I am skeptical of which ones are scams and which ones actually work. Surgery is out of the question because I am uncomfortable with the idea of someone cutting my body apart with a knife. I’m assuming if people answer back to this, they will tell me to try turmeric, zinc or gynexin or some other hormonal supplement. I take a daily vitamin called Mega Men Sport everyday, which contains zinc and a bunch of different vitamins. If you think I should try turmeric or gynexin or whatever you think might help please tell me why, I would really appreciate it. Again I apologize for the drawn-out letter but it’s necessary you know every specific detail in order to determine the best solution. Thank you for reading this, and I would greatly appreciate any suggestions you have to offer. Sincerely, Gabriel
I am most likely the worst student ever, to start with. I'm in grade 10 and I absolutely suck at science and math. I'm hardly passing science, and the day I receive a 50 in math is a dream this year. Of course, there are no pity passes or anything, so I'll have to repeat math most likely. If I score well on my final, I'll be given that mark as my overall average. However, we've just finished midterms and things aren't looking good. I'm generally really good at English, but I still need to hand in over three assignments by the 14th. I have a Healthy Living portfolio I need to complete by the 14th, and I have only 4/10 things completed. I have two math assignments waiting to be handed in. My mom is single and has been a waitress or unemployed for every of my life so I know how important it is to go to university and college, but I just can't seem to receive past high school yet. I don't know how I'm going to pass if I don't somehow receive my life in control and receive back on top of the game. I make a promise every year to do well, but I just can't. I really want to tutor French, ironically. My French average is 99.5, I'm really good at it. I just can't do anything else in school right now. The root of my problem is that I procrastinate, I am lazy, and I am disorganized. I can't ever pay attention in class. I don't really know why it is that I always receive distracted, I've actually considered the possibility of me having ADD and it seems so. I'm too scared to receive this checked out. I've started today by cleaning my room and organizing my papers from every year. I even found things from grade 7. I just don't know how to keep up my organization or how to make myself do my school work. I'm completely out of control. Please, could you suggest something?
So im about to eat a quesadilla. And well I'm hungry. It is made of two white flour tortillas (I prefer wheat) with a little bit of cheese, black beans, lean chicken, tomatoes and lettuce. I'm eating 2% sour cream. Is this healthy? ( I prefer wheat most of the time but I live in a dorm the university's food isn't quite healthy. I tried making it as healthy as possible.

When I was 15-16 years old, I lived a sedentary lifestyle. No physical activity at every. Use to be homeschooled, so, every day I would be in bed with my laptop on my lap or legs. For as long as 7-8 hours every day. For almost 2 years! Im 18 now, & im really worried I may have cancer without knowing. This happened because my family was going through really bad situations & lack of education. Now i'm Training to run a marathon & I eat healthy & exercise almost everyday
My dog chew on her feet a lot. Im adding information answering the ppl that commented on the other post. AGE:She will be a year on the 15th FOOD:Beneful (healthy growth for puppies) FOOT HYGEN:I keep her nails clip short, and she is a long haired dog so I keep her hair trimmed on her feet. and she gets baths quite often because I take her to the dog park a lot. She loves to run and living in an appt doesn't let her do that, so she is exercised.
I NEED A SEcond OPINION REALLY BAD! first let me introduce you the main part; My dear lil female Saffron of about 3 years and im pretty sure 6 months now. between 3 and 4 years of age lets just say is at the hospital in dire condition. healthy vibrant and young got her first foreign body, gawsh darn it im so scared and worried and havent stopped crying since friday. as difficult as it is to look her so lethargic she is still puttin up a battle, even after she stopped breathing to her first attempt at surgery to receive whatever is in her gut. is she allergic to anesthisia? or is it cuz she is jsut so young and new to this stuff that her body couldnt handle it? or cuz she was fairly weak and so stressed out from trying to expel whats in her stomach? or was it the mix with her painkillers too much?? this is what im questioning myself, could be one of those or a little bit of every of them, BUT the only way as far as im concerned to relieve her as soon as possible and well pretty much the only way is to do a surgery, but she almost died to the anesthesia? should i continue another attempt (we are going to try another gas anesthetic this time) or will too much anesthesia as is jsut do more hurt than good, which i am also worried about, plus the 2-4 minutes she wansnt breathing (brain damage now maybe?) but was CPRed back to condition. also if the surgery goes well im worried she will be a walking problem or vegetable (due to her possible brain injury now and prone to more blockades or intsinal leaking cuz of the surgery cuts?) so what am i to think? help me receive my mind clear!!! i am so stressed. the surgery is the only way to help her but if she cant do the gas, than do i need to let her pass? :( or is there any other way? either or the medical expenses are going to be ridiculous, and im scared that even if we do go thru her surgery she will die afterwards due to more shock or 3 weeks after trying to recover. i want the best for her, even if it means letting her go which will put me in the grave and make me sob some more as i type but i just dont know and im soooo scared and upset. i really need some sort of answer to help me make at least a good decision. please and thank you anyone for your thoughts. bless and keep fighting Saffron my dear. u are a beautiful exstatic creature meant to be alive for as long as possible, not end at 3 years old. god bless, malissa PS> and now my vet said she is potentially blind!!!! i think its due to that jelly they put in her eyes, do you think? to keep them from drying out during surgery! BAH!!! why!!?? im so worried, lost and confused and in pain. i need multiple helpful opinions. she deserves to live i know but she is suffering now and it hurts me to even look her this way even tho she is jsut fighting along still and it still hurts me to even have her to be slightly clip open. oh gawsh every so horrible. im so undecided. i guess this is how it feels to go through ur first experince of the sort huh? thanks everyone
Hello! Well, I have both a treadmill and elliptical trainer. Also have an exercise bike and weights and stuff. I do indoor workouts cuz I live in a bad area. I used to just do the treadmill for up to 30mins at a run around 5 days a week but I find endurance really, really difficult and I feel like I don't have the best lung capacity and often find it difficult to breathe (even while not exercising) It was raining the other day and risky to use a plugged in treadmill so I tried the elliptical trainer, it hurt my legs at first but now it's really comfortable and also great to watch a movie while exercising. I want to know if the elliptical will give you the same results as a treadmill? I'm not really in it to lose weight, I'm a healthy weight. Just to stay fit. I will still do the treadmill when it's winter probably (it's the middle of summer) but for now is the elliptical okay to stick by for fitness? Thanks xx
I'm a young adult. I've lived with my sister my whole life. I'm a health nut, always wanting to eat healthy foods, never drink soda, hardly ever have any nice of cakes or anything like that and I brush my teeth every day. My sister eats nothing but junk food and pretty much drinks nothing but soda, refusing any nice of healthy food or drinks and brushes her teeth about once a month. My teeth are in worse shape than hers. I have obvious cavities that I'm about to go receive fixed and my teeth are very sensitive to icy and sweet things. My sister's teeth seem to be fine and hardly have any sensitivity to anything icy or sweet. Hers are even whiter than mine...... What's the deal here?

Well, once again, my younger brother, who is 12, and I got into it, and I accidentally struck him. I know I shouldn't have, but, I just got so frustrated, and mad. Now, my younger brother's so upset with me that he went to go snooze in my Mom's room, leaving me to snooze alone, in our room, without him. He told my Mom on me, and, of course, my Mom immediately sides with him, and makes me apologize two separate times, and now, that she's mad at me, my older brother, who is 22, is also mad at me. I feel horrible, and let's face it, I'm a horrible sister to him, he's going to grow up hating, and resenting me. Apologies aren't going to fix anything, and only serve to do absolutely nothing at this point. I really should not have done what I did to my younger brother out of rash, irrational anger, and frustration, and it's happened two, or three times already, and it needs to cease, my aggression is just too much, and it wouldn't surprise me if I got a smack in the face, and a lecture from both my Mom, and my older brother, for me, that would just about do it. every of the anger, and the tension in this home every day id just not healthy, and it's uncomfortable. I honestly don't know about my younger brother, my Mom, or my older brother, but, I just can't do this anymore. I can't live my life like this anymore. I'm considering moving out, but, at the same time, that's so expensive, so, my other option is to just stay away from everyone in the home, stay silent, and distance myself. What should I do?
Ok so this was a posting someone did on YAHOO! about a week ago. I wanna know y'alls opinions on this "theory" (as i will call it). We have talked about it in my Agriculture classes at college. I actually find this nice of offensive, I have been raised knowing nothing but Agriculture. We live off of Agricultural businesses even if you don't work with/for them. If it weren't for agriculture, we wouldn't have: ~Food: from livestock, aquatics and crops ~Medicines: They don't gather those plants to make medicines from the wild ~Clothing: Cotton ~Homes and buildings: Forestry ~Hobbies: Hunting, Fishing, 4-H, FFA, gardens, etc Yes, I do understand you do not need a degree to do any of those things but with the way things are going now, we need more people with an agricultural degree. The number of farmers and other agricultural businesses is dramtically decreasing. The current farmers these days wouldn't be able to keep up with the production levels needed to supply our country and other countries without the help from those people who do have degrees in agriculture. The people who have degrees in agriculture work in Agricultural Research Centers. These centers are constantly finding and experimenting more and more with different chemicals, vaccinations, feeds, and equipment to supply our farmers with the most effective and helpful products to receive the job done quick and correctly. Those Agriculture Majors are the ones working in labs every day to make new and better chemicals to prevent pests from bothering crops, fertilizers to grow healthier crops, feeds to grow healthy and meaty livestock, fuels to keep the economy going, etc. Due to the lack of people majoring in Agriculture, the production levels of new products are decreasing. If anything, agriculture should be the #1 most Usefull degree. But that's just my opinion. What are y'alls opinions on the the statement of Agriculture being the #1 Most Useless Degree??? we are talking about majoring in Agriculture not English or Literature. I know my form of english isn't that great as compared to city folks

Im 24 years old, 5"7 feet tall, and 140 pounds. I live alone. I have a treadmill i run about 4 and a half miles on 3 to 4 times a week. The i train different muscle groups 5 times a week and take the weekend off. I eat healthy, i have a smoothie about 4 times a week made with every natural fruit. I eat a lot of fish and beans. Sometimes every now and then i have a quick food burger, maybe once every two weeks. I go for a hour walk every morning. My only problem is sometimes maybe once or twice every two weeks i receive a pint of vodka and drink it every right then and there. Does my drinking vodka make me unhealthy, or am i fine and in good shape?
So ever since I was little, I've changed my mind about what I wanted to become as a career. You name it, I've wanted to be it at one time or another. I have an artistic/social personality - based on personality/career assesements and then entreprenur as a third related category. For some reason, I'm scared to commit to anything long term i guess. i think i have anxiety problems and so i find flaws in anyting i go at. even though i KNOW i have the ability to do anyting i want. Someitme it think my life should be filled with strong purpse helping people, sometimes i wonder if that sort of feeling/action is best left or utlized in volunteer work or motherhood, or if my career shoudl so obviously be tied to work that very clearly helps people. I've been asked things like what i want my life to look like but every i know is that I want to have kids that are healthy and glad, a husband htats healthy and glad and that iw ant to live in the country - semi -rural area. i want to play my gutiar (adore music and play by ear) and like life. i want to have medical benefits and the finacial ability to go receive a good message or soemting to treat myself once in a while as a reward. The only two thigns i cant seem to quite figure out is career and spirituality. I dont know if i prefer to be atheist, buddhist or chrsitan. And i cant figure out what career is for me .............. Anywhos any insight on how to find a career that best fits me would be appreciated. Im in my mid20s and i want to start enjoying and appreciating life instaed of worrying aobut it every. I know its a choice - and i can jsut start enjoying and lvign life today. The problem is i know every that in my head - the problem is making life a realisty . I know i may sound stupoid or greedy to some - but im not a terrible person and i am jsut trying to make a place lin life - just like any other human beign is trying to do. This career choice decison making is ruining my life... So far drawing and listening to peoples problems are the only times when i feel sort of that time stops. But i have no itnention of studying a phd for phsycoloy and i suck at being an artist even though i like it......thats why i wonder if helpng people shoudl be left for volunteer work. How does one balace their intersts/activies in their life between career /volunteer work? As i said ive switched jobs and education literally a 100 times. My newest career choice is a skilled trade or medicine program (technologist).Booth are good skills taht pay well enougha and allow mobiiliyt if u wanted to move to differne tcoutirnes etc - and its knowldege you have but again someting wrong wiht me i geuss cause i cant figure out what is i shoudl do or want to do or need to do . Any advice woudl be appreciated PS: based on the things i mentioned that " i know," it almost sounds like i want to be a stay home mom. but i havent met the right man yet and i think in this day and age a two income family is needed.

Or should there be a thing with the welfare system where if you're fat you don't receive food stamps? And instead of giving people on welfare money they receive stamps to buy certain things (Not just food) but like, idk, a stamp to pay for a certain amount of heating. That way no one gets money, fat people don't receive food stamps, and drug addicts don't receive money to buy drugs. 20 minutes ago - 4 days left to answer. *********ADDITIONAL DETAILS******** You can survive for months without eating if you're super fat. You just need water. (learned in anatomy and physiology) we even saw this normal-healthy guy receive stuck in a cave for 30 days w/o food and he survived with just his fat.. So obviously the super-fat people can probably live for years without food (maybe thats a little exaggeration. a LITTLE)
I'm seventeen and three months pregnant. I found out about two months ago and have been going to regular doctors appointments. The baby is healthy and everything is fine, but I still haven't told my ex boyfriend or my family. My parents are divorced and I live with my dad. I barely talk to my mom and she lives in a different state. My dad has always supported me and taken care of me and done everything I could ever need in a dad; and the worst thing I could ever think of doing is disappointing him, and I know that I'm going to. He's getting re-married and I really don't want to mess anything up because his fiance is really great and makes him glad. My ex boyfriend is a completely different situation. Sometimes he can be really sweet and silly and other times he's a complete jerk and a liar. We used to be really great friends before we got together but then he changed. Anyways, I broke up with him before I found out that I was pregnant because he cheated on me and I wasn't going to put up with something like that. I really do want him in the babys life as much as possible, but I know that I can't force him to do anything. Basically I'm just trying to find a way to tell him that won't freak him out too much. I know that hes a teenage boy and he'll be scared as hell, but I really want to try to explain everything to him in a calm way without either of us getting upset. I would really adore to keep my baby, but I honestly don't think that I have the finances to keep it. I don't have a job, and the baby's dad doesn't have a job either. I've been trying to find one, but everything is full. My dad is a lawyer and can provide for me and the baby, but I certainly don't want to rely on him for everything.
I have a Comet goldfish (about 6 inches) who is special needs, he was severely neglected and now has mental issues. I want to receive him a pal but I do not know if he could keep up with a healthy common goldfish. I have heard that common goldfish should not go with fancy goldfish because fancies normally cannot keep up with commons for food. Which fancy could live with my comet? I was thinking Ryukin. Opinions?
Jamie gave birth at home in Granollers ( a town close Barcelona, Spain ) to her third kid, her son Dídac, 2 years ago. She works as a dietitian and she says to have healthy nutritional habits are important to have a good pregnancy and delivery. But also to continue having a slender and beautiful body after her son's birth. Although her son's homebirth was long and it took place in a tiny flat ( Dídac was born in a tiny room ), Jamie says it was an awesome experience and she thinks this was possible thanks to her good nutritional ways. For Jamie, her great beauty ( she's very beautiful ) but also her positive birth experience with her son Dídac are due to her healthy habits. P.S. Her first kids ( a boy and a girl ) were born in a hospital setting but when she was living in Granollers ( Barcelona ), she decided to give birth to her son at home because of her holistic beliefs but also because she met an empirical midwife who insisted to assist her at home. Do you agree healthy nutritional habits are basic to give birth safely and also to continue young & beautiful just like my pal Jamie ?
Hear me out. I’m not saying we should every be lazy bums who play x-box and snooze till noon each day. But, just who benefits the most when a population works themselves to death? The actual workers. Maybe, but not necessarily. I’ve seen plenty of men work their fingers to the bone to the point their minds and body were practical mush by the time they retired. Meanwhile, their owners, the individuals and consortiums which owned and operated the businesses for which they work live in abject luxury and live longer, happier and healthier lives. every their lives these men had a carrot held in front of them and were told if they’d work just a little bit harder, a little longer, if they’d just go another mile they do could be in the ruling class. To be certain, I have seen people rise from relatively humble backgrounds to wealth. I’ve also look the opposite happen. Most of the time, people work and work and work and just receive stuck, as 99% of us aren’t blessed with a special talent or skill to escape the dregs of the working world. Am I right or wrong?
if i go walking 30-45 minutes before school every morning on top of playing tennis for about an hour and a half to two hours a day, and dieting. will this make me more slim or more muscular.. im 15 5'8 and i weigh 118 pounds. my goal is to have a body that looks like a victorias secret model.. please dont say that not possible, im aware that i wont look EXACTLY like them.. but i want to be slim, yet also be toned like them.. what will my plan make my body look like? and also please tell me what else i could do to help. i already eat healthy, i dont eat fried food, bread, soft drinks etc, i basically live off of, oatmeal, eggs, fish, and fruits/veggies. now of course i splurge from time to time. but im not going to cause i want to have a really good body for spring break. please give good advice! thanks!
I want to start off by saying I'm 20 years old and female, I live with my boyfriend who's 25, we're both healthy except for weak hearts and smokers [please no lectures we understand how stupid it is], the past four or five times we've had sex we haven't used a condom or tried that joke of a 'tug-out method'. I'm not on birth control and yes two of the times we did it I was either fertile or ovulating. I'm concerned primarily because of how often we did this, I realize it was stupid and irresponsible of us and looking back now I can fully look that we are not financially or mentally ready for a child as we are both quite young ourselves. My period is supposed to start on Wednesday or next week and the only symptom I can think of would be odd cravings but of course that can be attributed to the start of my period since it's less than a week off. I was wondering if there were any opinions on the likelihood that I'm pregnant? Of course I'll purchase a test if I miss it but I just wanted some fresh opinions from somebody older than myself and more experienced or knowledgable. Edit: I want to add that for the past two days my hunger has increased two fold. It's taking far more food to sate me and I usually feel very nauseous afterwards. Generally a bowl of ramen will fill me up but now I could eat a thing of Oreos, ramen, pizza bites, ectectect... (we've had a weird diet this last week or two)...
Does your horse live outside 24/7, or is it kept up, and why? If the horse lives primarily in a stall with turnout, that counts as inside. Mine: My horse lives outside every of the time, unless we are at a show. I think it's just healthier! Once a chiropractor told me horses that live outside usually pop things back into place when rolling. It stretches them out, so they don't tie up. And most importantly, I think my horse is much happier outside then being stalled every of the time!

I've lost 25lbs so far by watching what I eat and working out daily, but I have a ways to go. I am working on eating healthier and eating smaller meals throughout the day. If I do 5 tiny meals a day, would I be able to make 3 of those protein shakes? For my other two meals, I would have egg whites & turkey bacon with fruit, and chicken with veggies and fruit. My protein shakes consist of vanilla whey, strawberries, bananas, and oj and are around 300 cals. I would be getting between 1200-1300 calories daily. I'm not trying to "starve" or anything, I honestly just adore the protein shakes. They're very filling for me. Thanks for the help :)
When it comes to preparing food, It's easy for me to make healthy foods. However I work 7 days a week and live alone, so the time I actually want to waste time preparing a meal for one is zero. So I was wondering what are some good healthy foods/products that are as good as grab and go, or low effort. So if you have favorites that you like, please let me know. Thanks! Oh, and this goes for snacks, breakfast items and dinner suggestions. Thanks again : D
my italian teacher is in her tardy 50s or early 60s and is tiny...like REALLY tiny. probably about 4'10 and 80 pounds. she drinks water every the time and nobody really sees her eating much (i've seen her eat like 1/2 a piece of pizza and a tootsie pop-i'm in honor society so we essentially live together) her teeth are completely messed up and a little scary looking, and while she has a healthy glow and a great personality it's like you could blow her over. i battled anorexia myself and when i was at my lowest weight she more than once singled me out in front of the class and yelled at me for being too thin. i ran out of the class the second time and guidance stepped in and she apologized (sort of). we never spoke of it again. i wanted to talk to her about it again and look if she could relate...but what do you think? i'm worried about her too you know? but i'm not sure what's normal elderly things and what's not. is it possible she might have stunted her growth? actually what prompted me to ask this was that i saw a yearbook from 10 or 20 years ago and she was so much tinier it seemed; like her collarbones stuck out more than mine ever did. so what do you think of this, and what should i do? thanks so much!!! ohh yeahh! and she def spends a lot of time on food units and talks about calories when we're there sometimes...but it could just be her talking about the italian culture it's not that glaring? idk guys :)
For a little background to help with suggestions, I'm a completely full-time college student who managed to score a pretty crappy schedule this semester. I live in Chicago and my schedule is basically: I wake up every morning at 4am and am out of the home at around 6am and I really can't receive back home until like 6 or 7pm because my classes keep me stuck in downtown Chicago close my campus so I never have time between classes to receive back home and eat something since I live a little over an hour away via public transportation. I am already planning on apples but I want some more variety. I need something that is backpack friendly and is convenient to eat anywhere from the classroom to a library to the bus (and bus cease) since that is where every my time is divided on the weekdays. I am thinking of Kashi products but people down diet bars and diet cookies and those sorts of things so I don't know what is best for me since I am also trying to lose weight. I'm just looking for finger or hand food, I am not too keen on sitting down and having a bowl of salad or yogurt or anything that involves utensils as I move around a lot. Any type of suggestion that goes along with what I asked is welcome and only serious answers please as I am finally getting serious about stopping my terrible quick food habit and getting in control of my health. Thanks!!
After my mom finally pointed it out to me a few months ago, I have realized that I haven't been myself for a very long time. I used to be cheery and full of life but now I am just hollow, and have no wish for the future. I am not worthy of this world and the other people living on it. I don't deserve to be loved and I am just a massive failure and burden to my family. I don't have the motivation or energy to do anything, even things I like. I over eat, over snooze, hit myself and verbally abuse myself and don't look any way out of this. No reason to live other than my family. If it weren't for them being around I would tug the trigger in a heartbeat. I have a very well thought out painless plan to kill myself. The one thing I can't understand is that there is a strong trend in my family. every the women and men on the one side of my family are glad and when life throws something at them they recover easily. They are very sociable and can take life's knocks very easily. My sister for example. She has been cheated on by the last 4 boyfriends in a row, has had relatives die when she was at university and somehow manages to maintain a healthy social life and grow from the experiences, both good and bad. My mom and grandma are the same. Just one of those events completely floors me, brings me to my knees and I want to end my life. On the other side of my family however it's a different story. My granddad, although very financially successful is quite obviously depressed. As is my dad who is severely depressed with anxiety. He is pretty much a recluse with zero self esteem, like me. My uncles are the same. It's like a massive contrast between my family tree. Could this be explained by genetics?? I am getting help soon, I wish I could control these thoughts on my possess but I am not strong enough.
1.I am from India, about me is that I never been in any relation before marriage, I wanted to be always a one lady man, who waited for a pure and healthy relation for so many years (30, my age at the time of mrg.) 2.This was an arrange mrg, however we had a 11 months pre mrg period. She lied to me about her affairs(+physical relations), with 2 boys at different time in her life, prior meeting me. She even acted in front me many times to prove that I am the first person she is getting close. She even cried and then also lied. 3.On day after marriage somehow she revealed that she were involved with them physically. after marriage she always kept distances with me, we rarely came close and whenever she refuse to arrive close, I got a strong feeling that this is because of her past relations, that she cannot accept me physically or does not like intercourse with me. 4.I always thinking about her cannot work properly, I have been divide in two parts by her, 1 adore her so much and other hate her so much. I cannot live with her and cannot live without her. I feel cheated by her, at the same time I understand also why she lied, probably bec. she doesn’t wanted to lose me. We have not called each other from last one month, and she is at her parents place? Please guide..Many Thanks....

I found a dog I think I might receive but he has microphthalmia, I was wondering if it would be a good idea to receive this puppy or not. I want a glad and healthy dog like every one else so I was wondering if it would be possible to have those things with a dog that has microphthalmia. The person selling it is going to give it eye surgery, and the puppy can look a little out of its eye
So ever since I was little, I've changed my mind about what I wanted to become as a career. You name it, I've wanted to be it at one time or another. I have an artistic/social personality - based on personality/career assesements and then entreprenur as a third related category. For some reason, I'm scared to commit to anything long term i guess. i think i have anxiety problems and so i find flaws in anyting i go at. even though i KNOW i have the ability to do anyting i want. Someitme it think my life should be filled with strong purpse helping people, sometimes i wonder if that sort of feeling/action is best left or utlized in volunteer work or motherhood, or if my career shoudl so obviously be tied to work that very clearly helps people. I've been asked things like what i want my life to look like but every i know is that I want to have kids that are healthy and glad, a husband htats healthy and glad and that iw ant to live in the country - semi -rural area. i want to play my gutiar (adore music and play by ear) and like life. i want to have medical benefits and the finacial ability to go receive a good message or soemting to treat myself once in a while as a reward. The only two thigns i cant seem to quite figure out is career and spirituality. I dont know if i prefer to be atheist, buddhist or chrsitan. And i cant figure out what career is for me .............. Anywhos any insight on how to find a career that best fits me would be appreciated. Im in my mid20s and i want to start enjoying and appreciating life instaed of worrying aobut it every. I know its a choice - and i can jsut start enjoying and lvign life today. The problem is i know every that in my head - the problem is making life a realisty . I know i may sound stupoid or greedy to some - but im not a terrible person and i am jsut trying to make a place lin life - just like any other human beign is trying to do. This career choice decison making is ruining my life... So far drawing and listening to peoples problems are the only times when i feel sort of that time stops. But i have no itnention of studying a phd for phsycoloy and i suck at being an artist even though i like it......thats why i wonder if helpng people shoudl be left for volunteer work. How does one balace their intersts/activies in their life between career /volunteer work? As i said ive switched jobs and education literally a 100 times. My newest career choice is a skilled trade or medicine program (technologist).Booth are good skills taht pay well enougha and allow mobiiliyt if u wanted to move to differne tcoutirnes etc - and its knowldege you have but again someting wrong wiht me i geuss cause i cant figure out what is i shoudl do or want to do or need to do . Any advice woudl be appreciated PS: based on the things i mentioned that " i know," it almost sounds like i want to be a stay home mom. but i havent met the right man yet and i think in this day and age a two income family is needed.
Okay, so my family and I are on a diet. We're trying to eat healthier and exercise more. I'm 13, and my sister is 9, and we live with our mom, so we need things that are good-tasting with low calories. I don't want to hear any of that "yall are too young to be on diets" I realize I'm young, but i'm overweight and I need to change it. My sister is skinny, but she has to eat what we cook so it needs to taste good. We're not a picky family at every, so please give us and recipes or even a list of foods we could eat (i can find the recipe) for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Thank you!
Hi there! I really want to lose some weight and I have some questions about it. I am about 5' 7", and weigh around 125 pounds. I have a flat butt, skinny legs and arms, yet my stomach is pretty fat. I am super insecure about it, and I am ready to change! I feel so insecure about my stomach, and my confidence would go up a million percent if I got a flat stomach. I have some abdominal fat and adore handles, that I despise! How do I receive rid of that? Also, what are some ways to stay motivated with weight loss? I heard that it takes you 2 weeks to look a difference in your body, and I know by then I'll lose my determination. I eat pretty unhealthy, like chips, white bread, fried stuff, etc. but I really need some healthy foods! Please give me ideas of healthy breakfasts that are easy and quick to make (I'm always rushing in the morning, usually skip breakfast), healthy lunches and dinners. I always eat super tardy, so after what time should I cease eating for the day? Also, how much should I work out? I live in a condo, so I have access to a gym with treadmills, elliptical machines, and more. The only two days I can probably go are Monday and Friday, so should I go then, each week? In addition, what exercises should I do outside of the gym (in the morning after waking up, before bed). Those are every my questions, I know there's tons. But, thanks SO much for taking the time to read this and maybe leaving an answer. I need every the help I can receive!
My boyfriend and I have been dating for a little over 6 months. We have been living together since before we started dating though, so we've been together day and night for nearly 200 days. He has horribly anxiety and I'm bi-polar with anger problems. The past month or two, he's been very verbally abusive. I'll do or say something little that upsets him and he'll start in with "stupid b*tch" and "you're a f*cking wh*re" and I've put up with it for over 2 months. Now, being bi-polar with bad anger issues, sometimes I lose it and scream back at him and hit him. But being a 20 year old lady called an ugly skank and a fat ass and a whore almost everyday, would you just absolutely lose it sometimes, too? He tells me every the time "i can call you any name in the world every day long, but I don't deserve to be hit" He may be right..but what else can I do? Yet, our adore for eachother is absolutely over the top. We're completely in adore. We can be that 'disgustingly cute' couple, who always call eachother honey and say i adore you every few minutes, fall asleep in eachothers arms everynight, we would NEVER break up but.. is this a normal/healthy relationship? I guess I'm looking for an answer to the question: i understand physical abuse is NEVER acceptable, but to be verbally abused EVERYday when you're a bipolar, 20 year old.. am I totally in the wrong to just lose it/my mind sometimes? And please nobody answer with 'just break up' in the most unexplainable way, our adore is too strong. He could call me every name in the book and I could hit him and he could hit me back, but we'll be in each other's arms, watching a movie, saying 'i adore you honey' 20 minutes later. The tune is describing us when it says "you'll never find a adore like this".

Hello, what I am asking for will take a lot of thought to conjure up. I want you to use your exercise and dieting experience to build me an excercise and diet plan. I know the main thing, NO CARBS. I will write down every the information about me and what exercise equipment I have. There is a lot to read, so please read it every in order to help me, this is a serious situation. My body and me: - I weigh 300 pounds. - I am 5' 9''. - I am a male. - I used to play a lot of rugby when I was younger, and I am naturally "stocky", so I carry a lot of muscle on my shoulders, neck, back, quads and calfs. - I mainly have fat around my chest, stomach and at the back of my legs. - I lack willpower, so I need advice on how to keep going. - I find it impossible to do any jogging or running right now, I am too heavy. My ankles and knees become extremely painful, however, if I lost 50 pounds and gained some fitness, I could start jogging. What exercise equipment is in my home: - Indoor cycle-bike. - Dumbells. - Sit-up apparatus. - Treadmill (but you can't weigh more than 230 pounds to use it) - Exercise ball (but you can't weigh more than 230 pounds to use it) - tiny plastic dumbell weights. - Weightlifting gym. - Purchasing a rowing machine next week. What I want to achieve: - Lose 120 pounds (Could I achieve this in 8 months?) - Lose "man boobs" I have. - Become healthier. Diet: What times should I eat? How many meals per day? Cheapest method to purchase food? I live in the UK. I honestly, hate vegetables, I can stand some such as brocolli, sweetcorn, peas. I like fruit, can eat everything fruitwise. I drink a lot of diet pepsi, should I cease this immediately? I just really want to lose a little weight before I am 18 which is in June, and lose 120 pounds by Christmas. I am sick of my weight now, I want to be able to buy clothes that fit me, I want a lady in my life who will find me attractive, I want to feel more confident and I want to be more healthy. I think I can hold out of the willpower, the only problem is purchasing the food, my parents are tight on cash and I can't afford spending half my pay cheque on food. I work 9-6pm on Mon-Fri, so I do not have much of a time zone to workout. Please help me with a regime, any other advice is welcome. Thanks.
I have the WORST hair. I always envy how some peoples' hair dries straight or have really pretty waves after a shower, and they don't have to do anything to it. My hair (down to the middle of my back) dries with incredibly ugly frizzy wavy curls, and I absolutely HATE IT. It's so difficult to manage! I've been looking into getting it chemically relaxed, but I'd like some info on it: 1. What is the specific nice that is healthier for your hair, and that GRADUALLY fades so waves arrive back slowly, and your hair is easier to manage afterwards. (I've heard of Japanese and Brazilian and Keratin?) 2. I'd like the nice that I can always receive redone if I want (so, not the lye stuff?) 3. I live in Canada, so how much would it cost for the the length my hair is? (mid-back, not too thick. it only looks thick because of the frizz). My pal got it done and she said it was great and it gradually faded out into waves, and it was nice. Have any of you tried it? PS. I got light highlights a year ago, and covered that up 3 separate times with semi-permanent hair color.
