My Cousin has asked about me and my husband possibly adopting her baby. The thing is she told me that the babies father doesn't want her to and he said he was going to help but yet he hasn't contacted her in three months and shes tried to contact him but has not heard anything back from him yet. She also told me he doesn't want her to abort the baby. If this guy so badly wants to be a father to this child why hasn't he answered her calls or emails or anything of that matter. My husband and I have already talked about adoption before i found out she wants us to adopt but if she wants us to adopt her baby how can we go about that when the father won't answer calls or anything when he said he doesn't want that to happen but won't step up to the plate?

I live on a military base and my new neighbors moved in three almost four months ago. They seemed nice at first. So after awhile ive noticed that their two year old son is always in the fenced in back yard by himself in just a diaper (sometimes with a shirt on but rarely) Never supervised. They have a dog so sometimes the dog is back there with him. One time he was climbing the fence and almost fell over into my yard i ran like the dickens and grabbed him before he fell. His parents were not supervising him at that time either. One day it was chilly outside and he was just in a diaper. So one day she was actually outside by herself and talked to me and tried to tell me shes always out there with her son and how he doesn't like to go outside unless she or the dog go out there. I wanted to say BS the dog part is true but her no. Shes rarely out there. Id think she would atleast lookout the window or have the door open but no. She doesn't even do that. Also one time she told him to stop climbing the fence when she was shockingly out there when my husband and i were outside in the backyard with our dogs and she pushed him off and laughed when he fell and he started crying.

I just want to know what i should do. I feel like she isn't taking care of her son and also her husband was egging on my dog the other day and laughing when i told him to stop.

My Husband and I will be Celebrating our Fifth wedding anniversary in November. We have been talking about a romantic getaway for our anniversary this year and for some weird reason we came up with disney world. After researching Disney world(we both have never been) we are thinking its not the best idea. I really don't want to be surrounded by children on my anniversary.

We also love christmas alot and some places (like disney world...one of the reasons we thought about going there) usually start their christmas decorating towards the middle of end of november.

I would love to go to Hawaii but my husband does not want to go there. Where are some romantic places only in the United States that is kinda Christmas or holiday without skiing?

Today my dauchand had a mass removed from his right front leg and had a few teeth removed. I have to feed him soft food but how am i going to do that if he can't even reach his dang food bowl to eat with the e-collar on. I need some help and some advice. Im afraid of him not getting enough food or water because of the stupid thing.

My Question is what i should do or not do with my sisters future mother in law. Her future mother in law is trying to control and manipulate everyone and turning the victim card on her when she doesn't get her way with the wedding. Her and her husband are paying for my sister and her sons wedding. She volunteered to pay (my parents are broke but would of found a way to help pay stuff she just took over and assumed they couldn't pay any )and then took control over everything. My sister hasn't had really a say in what she wants and then when it came to picking out the wedding dress she went behind my mothers back and didn't even invite her. Also kicked my sisters friend out of the wedding because she asked if she could have a pink dress to wear (which is kinda crazy cause my sister hates pink) and my sister said no but she was still wanting her in the wedding and my sister wanted peach for the bridesmaids dress. Come to find out her mother in law chose the color. Its wisteria(purple) and everyone finds it weird cause my sister is more of a earthy fan of colors even brown and orange colors and always said to me (i like purple) that purple wasn't her type of color. Also found out her mother in law likes purple...hmm. Myself and my aunt are also throwing my sister a bridal shower and her mother in law told us who to invite and who we couldn't invite, even though shes throwing another bridal shower for her side of the family. She also kicked out more people that my sister wanted and then added more for her family. Its only supposed to be 50 people so i said why can't my sister have 24 and he(her son) have 24 since both my sister and her son are counted with those 50. There is so much stress and I am contemplating by backing out as a matron of honor just so i don't have to deal with this woman's mess. I really don't because i don't want to hurt my sisters feelings but i don't know what to do. Any Advice?

My husband got the nasal mist h1n1 flu shot today at work and he told me that a group of the other guys that got the shot said you have to stay away from family because they can catch swine flu if you get the vaccine.. is this true or is his co workers a bunch of dumbasses and my husband scares me for nothing.

Ok, so i wanted to get my 17 yr old Sister a just because , thinking of you gift. She's also been pretty down lately and i wanted to cheer her up. The thing is , i would have to send her a gift cause i now live more than 2000 miles away. I need to find a good website that caters to 17 yr old girls like art (she loves making art) Music, and fashion. I also can only spend under 25. Any ideas?

In Feb 2009 i got a lump on my lower gum on my number 18 and 19 molars. I then went to the doctors on the 20th of feb and was given antibiotics and take them twice a day. He also gave me more antibiotics til i was able to schedule a appointment with a dentist to extract my teeth because they were old rootcanals and the fillings had fallen out(never had them capped) anyways. I took the first intrivals of antibiotics and the lump went down some but did not go away. So i started my next antibotics and they are amoxicillin and i take those 3 times a day. The lump has yet to go down. On Tuesday March 10th i had both of the teeth extracted. I know there will be swelling, but its been four days. And im scared because i have been taking my antibotics still and been putting ice packs and warm packs on my face to get rid of the swelling and its still there. There is no pain at all, im just getting aggravated with the swelling and im not sure if the lump will go away.

I have a bag of nestle's milk chocolate chip morsels in the pantry and i have all the ingredients it says on the back of the bag,except for vanillia extract. Do i really need to use it?

My adult education(GED) teacher went by her first name so i do not know what to use for example miss/ms. or mrs.

Also i don't know exactly what to say in my email. I want to ask her when i can take a retest on my math. She told us we can take a retest up to three times in a calender year so i do not know when i can go in and retest.

Ok, So my husband and I are going to be visiting family for christmas that live 2000 miles away. We are driving there and back. The problems we are faced are; What types of hotels will allow us to have a dog and what are the polices. Our dog barks alot and hates strangers. We can't put him in a kennel for those reasons, so how are we going to take him from one place to another and also find a hotel that will let us stay. We already have places to stay with family. My family suggested that we give him a seditive, but i don't think i want to give him something that wasn't agreed with a vet first.

Also before anyone goes off on me about saying its my fault the dog is that way, its not our fault. We adopted him and he came that way. We and the people who were giving him up for adoption were shocked that he didn't bite me and my husband. He did bark at us , he was living at the same shelter for four long years. He has had a hard life and was passed back and forth thru people. With his problems hes had we have kept him and have been working on his issues,like training him and he isn't as bad as he was but its going to take us time, an animal that went thru so much will probably take a long time to train so he isn't barking and trying to bite people anymore. So before some crazy animal lover decides to post something negitive about me and my husband and our dog, please go answer someone elses question who actually is being mean to their dog.

Back to my answer, I am just worried about the whole traveling thing , its so bad that im stressed out about it. I have thought of, putting his muzzel on when we take him out for stretching breaks(since we put it on him when we take him out for walks and to do his biz) and when we are in and and around the hotel. Also we know we are traveling along Interstate 10 but we do not know the places we are going to be stopping off at.

I am also a worry wart and i just don't want things to go wrong. So if someone can just ease my mind that would help ha.

I feel stupid for even asking this question. I was planning on giving away my hamster for free with is cage and food in my local area. Well I live in AZ and I am orignaly from VA. Well my cousin saw my ad about it on myspace and shes from Va. She told me that her friend would like him and i told her that if it was ok with my husband we can take him with us to va when we go there for Christmas. Well she went and told her that i would and i then later told her after discussing with my husband that he does not want to travel with the hamster. Well now she said she can not tell her friend because shes excited to get him and that i can ship the hamster there and she will repay me. Is it even possible to even ship a hamster? I don't even think you can. So can someone tell me? And how much crap ill have to go thru if i do decide to do this?

I just got back from a cleaning and they put fluoride on my teeth. Im not sure if i heard my dentist right but i think he said to leave it on for four hours. When i told my husband that hes like wow, ive only had to leave mine on for a hour. So what should i do. Wait four hours or not? Also, do i just rinse or brush my teeth?

Thanks.

Just curious, I'm thinking about moving to Wilson, NC In a year or so not sure yet. So i was wondering what there is to do or if there is nothing to do. What are the big chain resturants and stores around, etc. Thanks!

I used to live on the east coast, rain and trees, grass... Now that i live on the west coast, surrounded by mountains and desert... i think that ive had some body changes... maybe that my hair is falling out alot more than usual and more dry skin. Also are there any other changes my body will go thru since ive moved to a dry area? And can someone tell me its true that you can lose more hair living out here cause im only 24 and my hair isn't comming out in hunks but , geeze its exessive lately.

Both my phone and my husband's phone has either limited , or no service today, and were not sure what is going on. We always have service where we live, so its kinda weird that its doing that today. What could be causing us not to have service today? Anything wrong with at&t ?

What i mean about that is, they say to eat fish and seafood like shellfish and stuff. I can't eat that stuff and also im allergic to mushrooms. Isn't there anything out there that is healthy that i can eat without it being chalkfilled with seafood and mushrooms?

So my husband bought a new computer tonight and he told me i could install my game tonight , so he went to bed and i installed it. I went to go play it and it wouldn't let me play it said" Could not initialize directsound. Please be sure a soundcard is installed and all drivers are up to date." So did a sound card not come with the computer, how can i find out and if i don't have one what do i need to do to install one?

Ok so I only want one friend to be shown on my top 8 , is there any codes that can do that?

I have never really had money in my life to deal with til this past year when i finally got a job and married the man of my dreams. Well today i realized that i went way overboard buying christmas presents. I will be overdrawn if i don't put money in the bank early enough tomorrow. (yeah im putting the money in there right away) but this is where i need help with. I don't want my husband to start hating me. Its not that i do this on purpose. I just need to learn how to budget and stop buying things i really don't need for now. Im trying to make a list of things that i need like food,shelter,medicine(asthmatic)etc. For now the only bills my husband and i pay are the car insurance and cellphone bills. Is there anywhere that i can make a budget at or help me make one. I really want to stop this or im just going to surrender money all at once and let my husband deal with it all. I don't want it getting in the way of my marriage with him(not that it is but if i keep it up it might) Thanks.
