Right now I live in the US, but I'm a dual citizen, and have family scattered throughout London and the rest of England. I was thinking about moving to London for a year, but have a few questions.

Are flat shares easy to find? I can stay with my family for a little while, but I would prefer to set out on my own as quickly as possible.

Also, I know the economy is in a huge down turn right now, but what about work? I don't need anything fancy, but I was thinking something like working at a pub, or in retail. I know I'd have to work long hours, and that's just fine with me. Would I have any luck with finding that sort of stuff? Or is even that in a bad state right now?

There are a few companies that I've seen that will place you in work (like a pub) before you get there, specifically The London Pub Company, that look all right, but require a fee upfront. It includes housing and most meals though, so I'm not sure if it's worth it. If I can find my own housing and work quickly when I get over there, it would seem like I could avoid those kinds of companies.

Thanks!

We had an ethical question raised in my (ethics) class. I was wondering what people thought. Read and answer it in sequence.

Question 1.

Suppose you were on a bus and stopped by some militant group. There are 50 people including you. The leader of the group chooses you, and you have to make a decision. Either you kill one person yourself, or they kill everyone, but not before they torture them. What do you choose? Take note, no one can volunteer for the death, and you can not volunteer yourself.

Question 2.

You're in the same situation, but you have to choose to torture the person before killing them.

Question 3.

Same situation, but the person you must kill and torture is your child.

So, does your choice ever change? At what point?

What sort of steps should I take to become an elementary school teacher? What should my major be?

I love my boyfriend, and anything that he would give me. But sometimes he has kind of an off taste in presents. Valentine's Day is also my birthday, so he always tries way harder than he has to.

How can I hint about what I want instead of the stuff he normally gets me? In the past he's gotten me chunky, expensive jewelry, which really isn't my style. Or, he promised to take me horse back riding when the weather permitted, and yet we have yet to do it.

How can I hint to him what I really want? I would much rather something small and more sentimental than something he thinks women in general want?

I mean, I'm not saying I don't want shiny jewelry or whatever, but it just doesn't seem as thought out.

Any suggestions?

So I saw a picture of a dog with an extra toe on his back foot, but it wasn't a dew claw. Is there a name for this? Is it bad? I know it sometimes happens to catsand isn't a problem, but I was jyust curious.

I know all of the laws regarding ESA's and housing in my state, so that is not my primary concern. My main concern is how to go about it with my landlord, who is also my boyfriend's father.

My doctor has surmised that with my multiple mental illnesses, an emotional service dog would be my best option with my ongoing therapy. While the dog would have some professional training in ways to help me with my disabilities, it would not qualify as a Psychiatric Service dog, which is alright by me.

The thing is, my room mate is my boyfriend's sister, which means she is also the landlords daughter, and she has two dogs. They are primarily outside dogs, unless she decides to take them in to her room. My doctor and I agree that neither of them can count as emotional support animals, as they are not mine and they have already learned too many bad habits and seem like they may not be able to learn the skills I need in an ESA.

Previously, my landlord had stated he wouldn't mind another dog, and thus I never assumed it would be a problem for my ESA. However when we spoke to him about getting a dog he told us we couldn't.

Now I understand it is his house we are renting from, but I also have a medical need for this animal. I should have mentioned it to him when I brought it up, but I didn't, but now I feel like if I bring it up he will think it is me being insolent.

What is the best way to explain to him that it is not something personal, but it is something he has to abide by? I don't want him to feel like I'm just trying to... spite him I guess...

I've been wanting a dog for quite awhile, but have not been in a good place to care for it. Now I I have a steady job and have extra money and a schedule that will let either me or my boyfriend be with him all the time.

So we've been looking at one dog for awhile. He's been in the no kill section of the shelter for about two years. He was adopted out briefly before he had some problems and was sent back. He doesn't deal with pain well and has bit a vet, and an older woman. Though with the older woman, no one really knows what happened because she had dementia, and didn't return the dog until a week after she was supposed to have been bit, and never saw a doctor.

But, in my household there are two puppies. They do like to kind of play rough, and one of them is about 8 months old and 65 lbs, so she can be annoying and rougher than she means to be, and when we lived with more people she had some dominance issues. Honestly, most of the time they wouldn't be left alone together, as the puppies spend a lot of time outside or in their owner's large room. But there is still a chance they will be left alone together...

Also, he's had some digging problems, which in most cases wouldn't be a problem, but on the chance we do need to leave him in the back yard, I don't want him to dig out...

Every time I picture myself with a dog, I picture him. Yet I'm still worried about his problems. Should I look at other dogs and see how I feel about them? I don't want to fall in love with another dog and regret not getting the first one...

What would you do?

I have two classes I really want to take at my college in the spring semester. One is from 8 am - 9am and the other is 9 am - 10 am MWF.

I can't fit the other times available in to my schedule, but I really want both of these... So far in the classes I have, I have never actually had to stay the whole lenght of class, but I don't want to take that forgranted. Do I go for it, or should I drop one?

My sisters lab/German Shepard mix is about 8 or 9 months old and has been acting really strangely.

My sister just got another puppy, which we thought was the problem but we're not sure now.

The dog has been with two other dogs for most of her life, and all of a sudden now, she attacks them for seemingly no reason. 95% of the time she's fine with them, and will lay with them or play with them. But she's attacked them without warning about 5 times. I didn't really believe it until I saw her do it. It's just like a switch goes off and attack mode cones on. We have her separated from the other dogs now, but why is she doing it? I feel like if it wa because my sister brought the new puppy in, she would have attacked the new puppy, but she hasn't, and seems to adore him...

I want to know my chances of getting in to a good law school.

Right now I'm at a community college because I could not afford a UC and I registered late. I was registered at a tech school, and went for about two weeks before I realized they had lied to me. Admittedly, it was my fault for not looking further in to it. If it matters, it was a school for veterinary technology.

The entirety of classes I could get in to were electives, mainly computer courses.

I've always been a good student, with the majority of my grades being a B or above. I did have a rough patch where I suffered from an undiagnosed mental illness, but it has since been diagnosed and I am receiving treatment.

Later on, after I get my bachelors degree, will this hold me back from getting in to law school?

Should I immediately transfer to a 4 year university? What steps should I take, and what fields should I study?

SO how did you choose your religion, or lack there-of? Were you born in to it? Di you convert? Why?

My boyfriend really wants a reptile, and has been trying to get one for quite awhile. Originally, we couldn't afford one, but now we both have very steady jobs and have the extra cash needed to care for a reptile properly. So, I want to get him one for Christmas and surprise him with it.

His sister had a boa constrictorin a 60 gallon terrarium, but she found out it was illegal in our area, so she had to sell it, but she let me have the terrarium.

So what type of reptile would be good for beginners that would have a pleasant life in a 60 gallon terrarium? I've looked up leopard geckos and bearded dragons, and those seem like possible options, though I worry that maybe the tank would be too big for leopard geckos and too small for a bearded dragon.

SO what are your suggestions?

I am planning on getting a tattoo right on my shoulder blade, on the round part.

My question is, can you foresee any reason it would disqualify me for a job? In my reasoning, I would generally be wearing at least a short sleeved shirt or blouse, so it would be covered. But I want to see if any one else could see a reason it wouldn't work there.

I am plannign on adopting a dog somewhere near the beginning of October. We have one dog in mind, a 3 year old australian shepherd/border collie mix. I've met him, and he seems really really sweet, and he's exactly what I want.

However, he has a bite history. He has never done real damage, and two of the cases were when he was in pain from a wound on his foot, which don't worry me. They warned me he has a low pain tolerance, and I am prepared to deal with it. The third time, no one saw. An older couple adopted him, and he was was adored by the husband, but the wife had dementia, and didn't have any real connection to him. While the husband was in the other room, the dog supposedly bit the wife.

This would seem like a clear cut case of a dog with aggression problems, but the staff at the shelter are uncertain if it was the case. The woman never went to the hospital, and they didn't bring back the dog for a week after it happened. By then the bite had healed. It seems somewhat fishy to me. And it worries me what she may have done to the dog for it to bite her. At the same time, it still worries me that he would bite. Later, he was adopted again, but was returned after about a month and a half when she got another dog, and th eone I want started to dig.

They've done temperment testing, and he seems to be fine normally. He gets a long with other dogs in most cases, and he's good with cats. Our roommates have two dogs, one a German Shepherd/Lab mix who is about 9 months old, and a purebred German Shepherd, who will be about 10 weeks at the time of adoption of this new dog. All of the pets will meet before we adopt him, to make sure they get along.

So, what would you do? I really love this dog. He is very sweet, and from my experiences so far with him, he is perfect. But the biting things do worry me. In most cases, I would say absolutely not, but this feels like it may be different.

Do you know where I can find some inexpensive roller derby skates, just so I can try it out? I've been interested in roller derby for awhile, but I'm also worried about getting in to it and deciding it's not for me. I don't want to spend $200 on gear, and then find out it's not for me. Any suggestions?

Also, I live in the Stockton, California area.

My boyfriend and I have been going out for over a year, and we live together, and we have a really strong relationship. The only problem, is his friends. I tried really hard to be friends with them, but they wanted nothing to do with me. They would make fun of me for being poor (they are all very high class) would just generally be rude. Of course, they never said it to my face, but they wouldn't realize I had my boyfriends phone when they would text him, and the text shows up automatically, so I saw them. So eventually I called him out on it, and he decide to distance himself from those two friends.

He has one friend that while he is jealous and mad at me for 'taking' his best friend, he has still always been rather nice, or at least not down right rude. But this friend has no sense of space, at all. While we are gone, he'll go in to our room and clean up my clothes, including my bras and underwear, or the one time he came with us to my parents house, he just walked in to their room without knocking or asking. And the thing is, he doesn't let you know when he's there. He likes to hide and listen in to conversations. Over all, it's really creepy, and you can't get away from him. He'll come over and spend two weeks there, even if you ask him to go home.

At first, this was just annoying and rude, but now I'm kind of worried. One thing that he did while he was at my house was go in to my dad's drawers and find his hunting knives. When he found them he unsheathed them and stroked the blade in a way that was really creepy. But I just ignored it, thinking he was just a city kid who had never seen a real hardcore knife before. That was before he got really creepy.

Recently, my boyfriend's sister, E, was kicked out of college on false charges. It's being dealt with and all that, but when she told him he... freaked out. He stopped texting her for awhile, which is really wierd for him. He's been in love with her for years, and is obsessed and won't stop talking to her normally. When he finally did text back, he told her "In my head I've killed your teacher three times already and each time it gets better and better." When she called him out on that, and how creepy it was, he just responded that it was how he coped. (Though he had nothing to cope with)

When she showed me the texts, I couldn't help but remember the glint in his eye when he had my dad's knives, and it freaked me out. I told her, and we were both worried, but we tried to ignore it.

About a week later, he finally convinced us to let him come over, under the condition that he left before we went to bed. Well he didn't even show up until 11 PM and when everyone tried to go to bed, he just went to another room. We even told him face to face that he needed to leave, and he responded he was. So we all went back to our rooms, and he turned off the lights and TV and it seemed like he left.

Well I woke up in the middle of the night, and in my usual bra and underwear night outfit, I wandered in to the room to find a pillow, and when I turned on the light he was there, staring at me! I was freaked out, especially since I wasn't dressed and I kind of yelled at him and asked why he was there, and wasn't he supposed to leave? He looked at me, replied yes, and stared me down until I left. I was freake dout, so I just went back in to bed, and didn't fight it, just by some off chance E allwoed him to stay.

The next morning, me and E's boyfriend are downstars talking about how this guy spent the night, and how he wasn't wanted there. We got really personal about how he was no longer welcome, and we needed to find a way to get him to leave, but it felt like someone was listening. So I got a little freaked and looked at the stairs behind us, and he was standing there, listening to us talk the whole time. Later on, I found out that my boyfriend and E's boyfriend had the same converstaion while he was supposed to be upstairs and he listened in on them too, and yet he never left.

I'm generally a big believer in following your instincts, and this kid scares me. The fact is, he knows every way in to this house, and nothing can stop him if he wants in, and even direct confrontation won't get him to leave. I've only had feeling like this before twice, and both ended up being kids who brought weapons to school to harm people.

The kicker is, I have really bad depression, that sometimes brings on signs of schizophrenia, including paranoia. Is this what I'm feeling? Am I just over reacting because of my illness, or am I having a reasonable fear of my boyfriend's best friend? What do I do? I don't want to do anything legally, I don't think I could even if I wanted to, but is there anything?

Right now, my boyfriend and I have a really good setup, for housing during college. When my boyfriend's sister went off to college, their father bought a house and they filled the extra rooms with room mates. Now we're moving in and because it's my boyfriend's father, we get very inexpensive housing. With us and his sister and her boyfriend, two out of the four rooms are taken and pid for, but that means there are still two rooms that we need to rent out. ANother thing is that there was a house fire in May, and it is still under renovations, and not many people will wait for a house that si not finished yet.

One of our offers is from a couple with a newborn. They're friends with my boyfriend's sister, and they have savings and steady jobs so they will be able to pay rent for two rooms, plus any incidentals. They have even offered to pay more than the offered rate. They have their own home, so it's not a big deal if we decide against them moving in, but I'm stuck.

It would be great to have both rooms rented out to responsible people, we are a generally quiet household, and the past room mates have caused lots of problems by throwing parties and bringing drugs in to the house, which we do not like. This couple is also willing to wait until the house is renovated to move in, something that a lot of potential room mates are not willing to do.

But I am worried about the effects of having a newborn around will be. On one hand, I think it will be a good lesson for us, and we can actually see the real facts of raising children and get some experience for down the road. On the other hand, I know babies will cry a lot, and I'm not sure how it would work in a household. I'll be going to college, and I can just picture the night before a big exam, the baby being awake and crying the whole night.

Am I overreacting? Is it worth renting these rooms out to a new family?
