  • Katy Perry Prism Album -- Is this appropriate for an 11 yr old?

    I don't want to open packaging and listen for myself.

    The house next door to me sold. New owners are in their late 60's to 70's

    They have an adopted 11 yr. old girl -- who is very with-drawn, shy and quiet

    They are very friendly, very religious..

    I hired the girl to " pet sit ", 3 cats and a full-size Doberman, for 9 days -- (she did awesome)

    Her first " job ".

    We now "talk" outside and I can tell she is VERY, VERY bored. We talked about music

    She used to like Miley - doesn't now, likes One Direction and I mentioned, Katy Perry.

    She said, " Yeahhhhh "

    So, I bought

    But, now I worry her " parents " won't think appropriate.

    I don't want to over-step boundaries --- they only moved in 4 months ago

    I thought I would give this CD to her on her Dec. birthday

    I need someone to help me out here. I listen to Katy, on the radio --- I don't see anything wrong but, maybe someone else out there knows about all the tracts on this album

    Thank You for taking the time to read my novel

  • HOME REFINACE QUESTIONS?

    Question is: If I bought my home, as a single person, and refinanced it, after I had gotten married, does my spouse " own " the property, or have rights to half ?

    I bought my house in 1990. I pay 9.2% interest. I owe 26K . I married in 2008. I want to take advantage of a lower rate. If I re-finacnce I'm not sure how my name would be listed on new documents-- maiden or married name, and if my Husband could "take" my house,I had 17 yrs. before I even met him.

    This is a very serious question -- and PLEASE only answer if you truly know .. I'm not in a bad relationship--- other hand, I'm cautious --single Mom, Son grown--22 last week -- completely established -- great feet for a single Mom -- my house means everything to me. It's what kept my Son's life "stable and normal", without a Father-figure. I can't risk refinancing, and with my name change, I loose my house--IF something where to happen. I really want to take the oppourtunity -- which I thought about 4 yrs. ago -- but, I'm afraid. I would love serious input on this.

    I'm from San Diego, but moved to Louisiana in 1986. I bought my house in 1990.

    For anyone who knows/cares: I live less than a mile from Willie & Jase, from Duck Dynasty... Yes.. I see them, not often, but I do. I see Si most often, at Shell station--early morning -- no tea cup, buying coffee

  • Siamese Cat stopped eating/drinking?

    My cat is 2 1/2 years old. Has had all her yearly shots and gets wormed on a regular basis.

    Since I got home from work yesterday...She has not eaten/drank/used the litter box.. or moved from where shes sitting. If I attempt to pick her up, she appears to be in pain--in the stomach area.

    She has lost weight and will not move from her sitting area.

    She eats dry indoor cat chow during the day and can cat food when I get home for dinner.

    Until yesterday, she would be considered " hyper". She moves, runs, plays a lot and is constantely in trouble, for various crimes.

    Beginning late yesterday---this has all changed.

    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated

    Today is Saturday--following a holiday--there are no Vets open.

  • CBS Survivor Question -- For Dedicated Watchers?

    Have always watched Survivor. My son, at age 10, was watching first season--told me I should watch. Being a single working Mom, I did not have time to schedule a show to watch. The next season I agreed to "stop" and sit down and watch the second episode of season 2. Been hooked ever since. Back then, my son's life and mine revolved around Thursday nights ---we ( I ) didn't bring my son to baseball practice that night ( Thursday ), I took care of all chores for Thursday, washing clothes, preparing of meals, homework assisignments, etc. on Wednesday -- because on Thursday--I had SURVIVOR. I am still this way today-- and my son is 19 and grown and gone. Wow. How Stupied Is That !!! I still take care of "chores" on Wednesday.

    My Question:

    What SURVIVOR had my funniest cast member. I smoke and he smoked. He tripped-out and had a " I haven't had a cigerette moment", while sitting on a tall log. He was tall and skinny, black hair, tattooed and spoke of his teenage son a lot. The Tripe won that challenge. They went to a 'reward" with the "locals". He ate, drank beer and danced. While dancing he found cigarettes from the "locals".

    Anyone remember this season -- the year --- ?????????????????

  • Siamese kitten name. Would love help finding a great name for a female kitten.?

    Getting a female kitten in one week. Will be 6 weeks old at that time. Using this week to think of unique name. This kitten is a seal-point siamese ( black toes, ear tips and mussel. Off white body, electric blue eyes). The Siamese is from Siam -- which is now Thailand. I was looking towards a native Thailand name but haven't seen anything I like yet. But, guess what...doesn't have to be a native name.

    I have a Doberman, Ozzy ( Ozzy Osbourne ), a German Shepherd, Chief Brody ( Chief of police in movie Jaws ), a blk/wh Tuxedo cat, Heidi ( from the little girl in the Swiss Alps ), and a solid black cat, Jillian ( Trainer in the T.V. show Biggest Loser ) -----so, I'm not restricted to Thailand names.

    Just want something unique. I prefer "real" names, as you see my other pets are named, versus names like Fluffy or Peanut

    This is an important decision for me. The "average" Siamese cat lives 17 yrs.--although, living into their 20's is not at all uncommon.

    Come on all my friends out there --- help me --- and THINK !!!!

    Thanks so much in advance to everyone who takes the time to really think and answer my question. MANY of you will have excellent answers and I can only chose ONE as the best answer -- doesn't mean your answer wasn't awesome.

    Footnote: If not familiar with this cat----don't answer my question until you go to yahoo, or any other site, and look at Seal Point Siamese images. You can also read up a little about the personality---that they never shut-up--are loud--need constant human attention--and will vocally drive you nuts until their "needs" are met.

    If you are not familiar with the looks and attitude of the particular cat breed, please check out images first. Once you have seen that, I know you will brain-storm with awesome ideas for names.

    Thank you everyone.

  • Older cat urinary problem?

    I found this cat homeless 6 years ago. I estimate her age today at approximately 10 yrs. of age. This problem I just noticed today when I got home and was going to change the littler box. She ( Heidi ) , was using the box, so I did other chores and came back later. I cleaned out the box, put it down in it's spot, left the top off and left the room to go and get some fresh litter to add to it. When I returned, she was back in the box. I waited, holding the litter. After 2 minutes, I finally put the litter down and left the room. I returned approx. 3 minutes later and she was STILL in the box. I stood there another minute and she got out. She was trying to urinate. In the freshly cleaned litter box was a wet spot have the size of a dime.

    Although this was a homeless cat -- that never saw any shots, worming, etc.---- since Heidi has been with me, she has had all the worming and shots required.

    I need REAL helpful answers to my Tuxedo Cat - Heidi's problem. I know what the truth is and that urinary/kidney problems plague domestic cats. I Will be taking her to the Vet. I know what he's going to say, also. I was just wanting to know --- over the weekend, is there anything I can give her to eat/drink that may help? I would imagine she is in pain. Anyone who has had a kidney infection knows it hurts when trying to use restroom. I just REALLY want to help her. And maybe someone out there can help me help Heidi.

    The one thing that sucks about Answers is: I can't come back and thank EVERYONE who gave me some of there time and answered my question....So, I will do that now.

    Thank You To Everyone who cares about my problem and wants to help Heidi. Here's some help for you to picture in your head:

    She rules the house. She rules a 7 yr. old male Doberman, a 1.5 yr. old male German Shepherd and, of course, the 1 yr. old female solid black cat. Heidi is boss. And respected and licked on by both dogs.

  • Help with a black eye?

    Playing with family German Shepherd resulted in me sporting a black eye. I work with the public and am embarrassed. I know people "assume" my husband has hit me. Does anyone know of a way to speed-up the bruising process ?? Make-up worked pretty good today but the bruising seems to have worsened as the day went on. Maybe there is something out there I could be using to help lessen the swelling and stop or speed-up the bruising.

  • TAX REFUND MORE THAN PAPERWORK FILED ?

    I used Taxact.com The paperwork is filled-out automatically after you enter your specific amounts of income, with-holdings, etc. The 9th step of Taxact is to run alerts to make sure everything was entered correctly. Everything was entered correctly and Taxact E-filed my paperwork for me.

    I received my direct deposit refund today. It is 300.00 more than expected.

    Instead of screaming, " YEAH", I want to find out what happened and why. I don't want to be contacted by the I.R.S. later down the road demanding a payment to them due to an error in their system.

    If anyone with tax knowledge could help coach me on this, I would appreciate it very much.
