Open Question: Will staying in a new home stress out a cat? My sister needs to catsit!? and more... Open Question: Will staying in a new home stress out a cat? My sister needs to catsit!?I live 2.5 hours away from my mother. My mother is currently caring for my sister's cats, because my sister is 5 hours away attending university. two days ago I came to my mother's town b/c I am a student there and have bi-weekly meetings I have to attend. My sister's cat was fine when I got there, but that night he came in with a limp. So yesterday I took him to the vet, and he had been in a fight and they gave him an antibiotic shot. When we were there, they checked his ears too and found that he has a bit of yeast and so gave me drops to give him twice daily for 7 days. Easy enough - the problem is...I live 2.5 hours away! So I stayed an extra day (today) to administer the drops twice today...but I have to be back at my home tomorrow, and was not planning on coming to my mom's again until Christmas. But if I go, who will administer the drops? My mom does not feel comfortable, but said she would. However, I know she does not feel comfortable, and I also worry she might not do it properly since she never did it before. So...there is another option - I have a second sister who lives about 45 mins drive from my mom's house. She loves animals, is not squeamish about administering the drops and has gladly agreed to watch the cat for a week and tend to his ears. My question is: Will the cat be ok in a new environment for a week or so? Or is this just going to add unnecessary stress? My sister lives with her long time boyfriend and their pet rabbit in a very large house with fenced in backyard. I don't want to stress the cat any further, but I want to make sure his ears are cared for properly. I've considered just staying and tending to the cat myself but I have so much to do at my own home that I'm having trouble accepting this option! Oh and the sister who actually owns this cat will be here a week from tomorrow, so two days after the treatment is over! HAHA! Horrible timing! Please let me know your thought, I just want to do whats best for my sister's cat! Also he's been sleeping like crazy from the antibiotics the vet gave him yesterday. Open Question: i need a little help...please?Our baby will be here in April. im still on the fence about working or being a stay at home mom. my boyfriends income isn't quite enough to support us and all the bills. we just bought a new home so we need all the money we can make. i was thinking of ways to make money from home, but that wouldn't be a steady/reliable income. can any of you think of a job i could get and be able to bring the baby with me? ive come up with a paper route. its very early in the morning and i would be in my car driving and the baby would most likely be sleeping. i would be able to stop and feed him if i have to. the only problem i can think of with that is when i have to go inside the newspaper building to get the papers. id be hauling newspapers so id have to leave the baby in the car. i also thought about cleaning house (ive done it for 4 years). if the person im cleaning for doesn't mind me setting up a pack-n-play in the living room while i clean then i could bring the baby. the bad part about that is if the baby wont stop crying or something and i have to stop cleaning and calm the baby and end up taking 45 minutes longer to clean. I also thought about watching 2 or 3 kids a day for $6/hr. if i watch 2 kids for 8 hours a day at $6/hr...that would be more than i make at my job right now. it just not a reliable income. one day the parents might decide they dont need me anymore then i have to hurry and find another child to babysit. is there anything else y'all can think of? i feel like im thinking too much inside the box and i might not be thinking about all of my options. babysitters in our area are charging $300-$500 a week and we dont have family members near us that could help us out. Right now i work for the city in an office building. i dont have the option of taking my work home and doing it. i make good money here but if we have to put the baby in day care or get a babysitter, my paycheck would be almost nothing. its just not worth it to me to pay someone to watch our baby. any suggestions? =) Open Question: How do I tell if my boyfriend is still attracted to me?I know this sounds ridiculous, so I'll have to provide some back story... My boyfriend and I are in our early 20's, and we became friends our freshman year of high school. I dated someone else throughout high school, so he and I did not have a romantic relationship for quite a while, though we remained strong friends. Come sophomore year, he and I were best friends and absolutely inseparable. I needed a place to stay senior year, and my boyfriend at the time (though we had been dating for five years) was not ready to move out of his parents' house. To make a long story short, I dumped the other loser and my best friend and I entered into a sexual relationship. The reason that I give all that back story is this: throughout our entire friendship and for the first several months of us just being "screw buddies," I have always had the impression that he, (like me), had a high sex drive. After the first few months of us screwing around, however, he just seemed to lose interest. Don't get me wrong, I understand that normal people who have been together for a while generally don't f*** like jack rabbits every night, but a week to a week and a half will go by without us doing anything and he won't even blink an eye. What's more is that it used to be worse. Before, we would go a month or more at a time, and when I'd try to approach him, he would tell me he didn't feel like it pretty often. Now I very rarely approach him because I'm afraid of getting turned down, and I feel like he sleeps with me only because he feels that he is obligated to. It is only when he notices that I'm starting to get frustrated with him that he actually approaches me, and I hate it. I have no idea what's going on. For the record, I know he's not cheating on me, and I have not noticed anything that would indicate a health problem that would reduce his sex drive. He masturbates about as much as the average guy (or what has been the average guy in my experience, both in terms of who I have dated and listening to my guy friends), and is pretty healthy. So... any idea? Thanks for your help. Open Question: Concerned About Friend,Parent Relationship?Hi everyone, First off i wanted to say I know this isn't entirely my business. I am concerned though for a certain friend of mine. She's 18 and i'm 16. the thing is she started hanging out with the wrong crowd at the age of 16. She commited small criminal acts, all of which i disproved of. I avoided her because of her crime. The thing is, since then she has gone on to make more and more poor decisions. In the next year she told me she had been in constant trouble and nearly suspended over poor work in school and not paying attention. It got even worse when she began whining at me about not having a boyfriend. The next week she used one of her friends to be a boyfriend. I'm not joking. She walked right in and claimed she liked him just because she wanted a boyfriend. Than of course.. a few months later she was almost suspended again for kissing in school and being extremely inappropriate to the school's policy. Her grades decreased and declined and she failed the semester.Now she is repeating another semester. She hasn't told me of anymore suspensions since then. But I ask this question out of concern. This has been going on for 2 years and I'm afraid I haven't heard of much getting better but better yet where are her parents in all of this? I mean, not to be rude, but wouldn't they be a bit concerned about this? I don't know, I'm not her family and I'm certainly not trying to judge her parents. But I'm just wondering why they have taken no action to prevent these things from happening. I'm concerned for my friend, and want her to finish up her last year. She's doing horrible and may need to repeat again! I don't know if I can help support her. I'm sure she has a lot of pressure on her. But really what has me concerned is that she may not make it through school due to so many suspensions and other problems. I don't want to get personal or irritate her parents in anyway. I just want to find out some way to help my friend through these times and maybe why her parents arent getting involved and why shed be doing this? Thanks!C: -Marie Open Question: Girls, would you have a problem if your boyfriend was thinner than you?My girlfriend has this weird thing were she thinks because my waist is smaller than hers, that she is obese, she is not, Im just thin because I go swimming all the time, my shoulders and chest are broader than hers... I just wanted to ask would this be a problem for you as well, because shes started to quit eating and its annoying me. Thanks. Open Question: Can anyone help me on knowing why I can't date anyone?Hi everyone from yahoo, I am a 26 year old that has never dated once in my life. I know that possibly one of my problems is that I have a problem with asking someone due to rejection. I know that I must ask someone for a date or otherwise the question is no anyways. I don't exactly trust dating sites due to not knowing who is really behind the screen replying. So recently I have tried to ask the people who I really know and have an attraction to. I just wonder what I should do since boyfriends of there's always beat me to the punch? I want to date someone but, I just don't know how to, and really feel that I may possibly become the movie,"The 40 year old virgin". I know that I am probably coming across as desperate and, I am sorry for this action. If anyone has any answers I would love to hear them. Thanks, Josh Open Question: Is there certain things you shouldn't say to your boyfriend? Guys opinion would be best but i don't mind!?Me and my boyfriend have been going out for a year in january and are very comfortable with each other. We don't usually keep secrets unless they're not our secrets to share. If there is something we have a problem with in our relationship, we'll be outright and say it. He likes it when i say how much i love him and how i feel about him. But i'm scared if i say too much, i'll get boring. He hates me hiding my feelings. I once said that i do try and look good for him, to make him proud to have me as a girlfriend. Should i restrict the things i say? What should/shouldn't i say? Open Question: I know I should open up more in relationships, but how, if people don't listen?I am a middle child in my family and somehow I kinda got used to being "invisible". (I'm not complaining! I am content with being in the middle and am glad I am not so spoiled and dependent as my siblings). But there is a problem. In my family nobody listens to each other. So over the years it became a habit that everyone came to me to vent cos nobody else would listen. I did. When I went to school the practice somehow continued (now I'm in 10th grade). I don't know why people feel the need to tell me all their problems (grades, school, teachers, parents, drugs, fights, boyfriends, unfairness, money, marriage etc.) But they do. And though I listen, I don't have people to talk to. I don't even know how. I know how to listen, and since most teenagers are egoists, they don't ask about me, as they are glad to talk about themselves. And I don't know, I mean I can't exactly interrupt the person and say "You know what I did last weekend?!". But I read that relationships are both people sharing their feelings. And I think that means my relationships are "wrong". How can I change it? Open Question: my actor boyfriend is not allowing me to perform kissing scenes with a costar in my first play.help!?my boyfriend has severe problems with me doing kissing scenes with another male actor.it is my first play and it is a love story and has kissing scenes but he just doesnt want me to kiss even though i have always let him even after being terribly sad but he just wont let me.many times he intervened in between the scene and asked me to pack up which i did.he says he fears me falling in love with the guy i ll kiss.we even got engaged to show my love and commitment yet he just refuses.the play is also halted,what do i do?i dont want to hurt him in any way.plz help Open Question: sore throat, cough, very red eyes that crust together when i sleep, losing voice, puffy lips, yellow mucus...?I have been getting sick basically every other week since about September. About 2 weeks ago I was diagnosed with influenza A via a swab through my nose, and they said it probably was the H1N1. I took Tamiflu and got better until about a week ago I started getting a bad cough, which is what my boyfriend had and I thought I just caught something minor from him. His problem stopped at a small cough, while mine has gradually gone to sore throat, headache, swollen glands on neck, earache, yellow mucus, and yesterday my left eye started getting red. When I got up this morning they were both very red and they have a lot of mucus looking discharge which caused them to stick together. Its been over an hour since I got up and they are still very red. My mucus is clearer now that I have been up for a while. I also have noticed that my lips look a bit puffier than usual, which I remember happening when I had mono about 4 years ago. I also seem to be losing my voice, it sounds very deep and I can't talk loud. I don't have a fever (thermometer showed 97.1 via mouth) and my body isn't overall sore like when I was diagnosed with influenza A. I am currently waiting for the health clinic at my college to open in an hour and I will go there then, but I wondered if anyone had any similar problems or ideas. I really don't understand the red eye thing, they don't hurt or itch at all really. I also don't understand why I am sick so often. I am so tired of living my life like this. More Recent Articles |
