Is your pet intuitive?
We always know, about 20 minutes beforehand, that it is going to rain. Our dog, Holly, starts pacing round in the front room. When it does eventually rain, she has to have a look at it and barks till we let her out. Needless to say she doesn't stay out for long. Years ago my cat used to sit on our wall in the front garden at 5p.m. every day because he knew that 'Mum' was due home. How intuitive are your animals?
Why does my neutered cat disappear for weeks at a time?
He's about 2 years old. He used to leave home for a few days at a time sometimes, perhaps because of the female cats being on heat, so we had him neutered to stop him wandering as we didn't want him getting lost. He stayed home over that but after the past few months he's wandering again and is missing for up to two or three weeks at a time. Each time he goes, he disappears for a longer amount of time. This time it's been about four weeks. Where could he be going and why? How can I stop him leaving once he returns? Is it worth getting a cat harness and letting him out in the garden like that?
Are the new FDA regulations that ban home gardening?
designed to protect International banks from a bartering system?
I know the government isn't enforcing the ban now, but they did write the regulations into the 2011 Food Safety and Modernization Act for a reason. And bartering is becoming very popular in Europe as a way to not participate in global currency. Many people are bartering on Craigslist these days.
Sure it does, through zoning regulations, even the organic garden at the White House is illegal.
For all you hard working SAHM mums......here's something amusing for you!?
A man came home from work and found his 3 children outside, still in their pyjamas, playing in the mud, with empty food boxes and wrappers strewn around garden, The door of his wife's car was open, as was the front door to the house and no sign of the dog, walking in the door, he found ...an even bigger mess. A lamp had been knocked over, the throw rug was against one wall, In the front room the TV was on loudly with the cartoon channel, the family room was strewn with toys and various items of clothing. In the kitchen, dishes filled the sink, breakfast food was spilled on the counter, the fridge door was open wide, dog food was spilled on the floor, a broken glass lay under the table, and a small pile of sand was spread by the back door. He quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over toys and more piles of clothes, looking for his wife. He was worried she might be ill, or that something serious had happened. He was met with a small trickle of water as it made its way out the bathroom door. As he peered inside he found wet towels, scummy soap and more toys strewn over the floor. Miles of toilet paper lay in a heap and toothpaste had been smeared over the mirror and walls. As he rushed to the bedroom, he found his wife still curled up in the bed in her pyjamas, reading a novel... She looked up at him, smiled and asked how his day went. He looked at her bewildered and asked, 'What happened here today?' She again smiled and answered, 'You know every day when you come home from work and you ask me what in the world do I do all day?.. ''Yes," was his incredulous reply.. She answered,. 'Well, today I didn't do it. :)
This really made my day when I read it. lol
Show it to your husbands!

My dog is acting strange lately, neurological problems?
I have a 2 year old chocolate lab named Teddy. We got him at 6 months old from an online ad. He has always been a bit timid, low confidence, easily spooked. We laugh at it when he is spooked by something simple like a leaf. But the last few days it's become more than that and I'm concerned he might actually have a neurological issue going on. He has been very nervous and jumpy, startles at the smallest thing. He thinks he hears things and runs to the back door or window growling and barking but nothing is there. He has a seasonal rash/sore on his chest that I'm not worried about, but he will scratch it with his back foot and then suddenly startle himself, jump and run, or sometimes scratch it so hard till he yelps, then he turns and bites at the foot that scratched it. He paces. He also has started licking the floor, or his bed, whatever spot he is in. Today I noticed a huge area in the garden that he's digging up, he never was a digger at all before. Sometimes he shakes his head like his ears bother him but they are spotless. He also licks his feet. But the startling/spooking part is the most prominant, he'll suddenly jump up out of his bed scared to death like something bit him, but nothing is there. Should I be worried about all of this?
My vet just ran a lot of tests on him because he seems to have low endurance after running hard playing frisbee, he'll pant so heavily and sometimes has heat stroke like symptoms even in 60 degree weather after only 5 minutes. My vet checked for thyroid and it was fine, so it all still remains a mystery at this point. He's fine out in public, we go to training class once a week, or when he is happy or excited he shows none of these symptoms, just when he is at home. Could it be boredome? We walk an hour a day, 4 days a week, go hiking sometimes, play frisbee and go to training.
We feed him a high quality premium food and I'm very careful of what he eats, no junk. I don't mind paying more for the best food for him. He's currently on a diet too because he is about 10 pounds overweight.
Any ideas on this? It's just getting a little too weird to ignore. Thanks.
I want to audition online through either SM or JYP Entertainment. Help?
I'm an 18 year old female. I'm from the Philippines but currently staying in the United States so I'm both fluent in my native language and English. I'm currently studying nursing. I look quite Korean or Japanese as many people say. I'm not pale or too dark. Just right. A little lighter than caramel. I have double eyelids (I heard they like people with double eyelids) but when my eyes are open they look single but there's like aegyo fat above my eyes instead of under haha. I'm 5 foot like Sunny of SNSD haha maybe she's taller than me haha. They say I look like a 6th grader because of my baby face (not bragging, I actually hate hearing that haha). I am quite overweight, but I'm diligently exercising now ^^
I have been singing without proper training, but people say I have a good tone of voice, but I'm not aware of which notes to hit or what notes to use. My voice usually is in vibrato in most parts at the end of sentences in a song. I don't know if I'm alto or soprano, hence no knowledge of music haha. My voice is kind of husky and smooth sounding (my opinion). But, I've always had passion for singing. The ultimate reason I learned how to read and write in Korean. I'm still a beginner in grammar though. Having busy parents and always in house arrest (can't leave the house without a car to get lessonsXD), so I'm pretty home bound and a nerd.
I'm also interested in acting. I'M IN LOVE WITH KDRAMA! haha. I reenact some like Hyun Bin from Secret Garden or reenact scenes of dramas.
Introductions done, I'd like to ask questions ^^.
Audition Process:
1. Should I lose weight first before I audition?
2. What should I prepare and to what extent?
3. How should I take my pictures?
4. Should I video me singing only, or should I also include a dance video (I quite enjoy dancing, though I'm shy keke)?
5. What song should I sing? (I’m more of a ballad, but I’ll try singing dance type music) Should I sing in Korean or English? Or include both?
6. What kind of information should I include? Should it be like the one from what I did from above?
7. If I do get accepted through the online audition, am I the one who will provide my ticket to Korea?
8. If I make it (pfft), will they provide my ticket to go back to US and get my stuff and the ticket to go back to Korea again?
9. Is it more likely that they’d like me to train in Korea rather than in their US headquarters?
If I make it, these are the questions I have in mind:
1. If I make it (yeah right XD), will they provide my dorm and schooling? (Ex: food, allowance, etc.)
2. How much luggage should I bring?
3. Am I allowed to call from home? How often? Am I allowed to have a phone? Are they the one providing it?
4. Are electronics allowed in the dorm (have a computer, use the internet, etc.)? Or we just have cable?
5. How many times can I go home?
6. Will there be a nutritionist or dietician helping me get in shape?
7. Once I become a trainee, what kind of method should I use to stand out from trainees that are obviously better than me in singing since I'm a beginner because they stand out right?
That’s all, thanks to all who would answer ^^. Can you guys answer differently for both entertainments? Thank you!
Help please and thanx!?

How can i deal with a nonsense neighbour (UK)?
Hi. I'm 19, i live at home with my disabled parents and 2 lovely dogs and we are having major problems with our next door neighbour that is getting completely ridiculous!
Our neighbour is quite wealthy, good job - LOVES his car but has a real problem with my family. We have lived here for 10 years and he has lived here about 5 years.
We don't own our house, the RAFBF owns it as my dad is an ex-serviceman and our neighbour does own his.
He has a real problem with us, at first it was our bins were out too early, our dogs were barking, the skip we had when we were doing refurbishments was obscene, we shouldn't have a bonfire...our landlords have him down as a nonsense neighbour and get calls from him all the time complaining about us.
We started getting letters about 3 years ago, he writes them on his computer and posts them through our letter box, he sometimes even comes over and shouts at my mother.
The thing is - he will not talk to my dad, i don't know if its the wheelchair that makes him feel bad that he stresses out a disabled man or what, and he won't speak to me, he will only ask for my mother (who can walk, but with a bad limp and usually needs a stick).
We have put in an application to move, but have been declined because its not seen as a good option for my parents (even though it is but i won't get into that) - so we're stuck with him!
Today we have had a letter though saying that he wants us to pay for someone to come and fix HIS side of the fence as he believes it is our fault, and will not be happy with it until they have inspected it, he also wants us to stop our dogs from making ANY noise while they are outside and get rid of a tree in our garden..... (we did have a surveyor come out a few days ago who told us it was not our responsibility but hes trying anyway)
He is really stressing my parents out, they are both physically disabled and my dad in particular has very bad blood pressure problems, so all this stress is causing them to be very ill, and i feel totally helpless in how to help them.
Please someone, i need some advise!
I want a "mini-garden" on my porch.?
I bought plastic tubs from home depot and put about 50 holes in the bottom. Filled in with dirt and plants. Every plant dies no matter what I do!
I follow the planting, watering, and sunlight needs. What's wrong?
How can I have a little garden on my porch and nothing die??

"Maria's front door has a house number – 48 – screwed in to the wood and its own letterbox, but it isn't possible for a postman to get here to deliver anything. The healthcare assistant's home is a shed in the back garden of a shabbily converted bedsit property, only accessible via the main building and through the filthy, rubbish-strewn yard.
Her thrifty landlord has recycled the front door from another property, but Maria likes it; she likes having her own entrance and her own privacy."
Newham's mayor, Sir Robin Wales, is dismayed. "It's big money. You get a few breeze blocks, sling up some crappy old shed in your back garden, and now you're making hundreds and hundreds of pounds a week...We found a walk-in freezer where people have been living, paying rent to live there," Wales says. "The record was one house with 38 people, of whom 16 were children."

Your views?
@dick.thepenman: Suggest what you like, greedy landlords dont give a **** about ppl like you. They dont see race or conscientious acts, they see £££. Do you understand?
@Lene: lol "unscrupulous Asian landlords." Yeh, Mr McGuinness really sounds Asian! A Mr McGuinness, a landlord housing benefit officials recognise as someone who "tends to go for the lower end of the market". Go figure lol
