My dog peed on my bed a few nights ago. I washed all the sheets in hot water, and sprayed the mattress with Fabreeze before putting the sheets back on. Despite my best efforts, my cat smelled it and he peed and pooped on my comforter. My cat has never gone to the bathroom outside of his literbox before, but this morning I caught him trying to pee on the bare mattress. I'm at a loss at what I can do. I keep the cats literbox and food in this room, so I can't really keep the door closed, and if I lock the cat in the room and keep the dog out I'm afraid the cat will just pee on the bed again. My cat is indoor only, so I can't have him go outside. I'm also worried that their little "territory war" will continue into other rooms of the house. Has anyone had a situation like this that they've resolved? Does anyone have any advice?

When I moved into my apartment, Rent.com sent me a gift card for $100. I didn't have a GOOD reason to use it, and I wanted to save it so using it would be special. It has been sitting on my desk since October. Well I finally opened it to use it today, and...it's EXPIRED by THREE DAYS!!! In CA gift cards to specific places can't expire, but I guess things like this VISA gift card can. Does anyone have any advice on how I should go about pleading my case to them on Monday?

I have recorded all the lectures for one of my classes. The professor asked me if I could send him the files. I said I would, and when one of my classmates asked if I would get something in return for the favor, the teacher said we would figure something out between the two of us.

Well, i spent 4 hours uploading the files so he could download them, and he successfully had all 8 of them downloaded last night. In his email he said thanks, but did not offer anything, so my question is, how do I ask him what he's going to do for me? I want extra credit or a few points added onto my score for his final.

I usually don't ask for anything in return for favors, but since he said in class that we would work something out, i feel like I should get something for the work I put into helping him out. So help me figure out how to ask him please!?!?

Ok, so for about three months I've though I had bedbugs. Two weeks ago the exterminator came and set up traps to catch the suckers, but we haven't caught anything yet. Also, I went home to see my family for the weekend and I got bitten there as well.

There haven't been any signs of bedbugs (no excrement, no blood stains on the sheets). My cat sleeps in the same bed that I do but he does not get bitten. So I'm wondering, is there something living on my skin that could be biting me?

The bites look just like misquito bites, but they shrink in size after a day or two and look like flea bites. I can't feel myself getting bitten, but immediatly after I itch. I get bitten durring the day (but this could be because of bedbugs in my clothes?) as well as at night, but no one visiting my apartment has been bitten.

I'm at a complete loss, but I've been getting bites for almost 3 months now and I'm at my wits end. If you have any insight, please share!

Ok, so I'm used to getting hives that appear out of nowhere, I just put some benedryl on the spot and wait it out. However, this last week the hives (which are more frequent than usual) have been acompanied by my ears turning red and burning, and a rediculously itchy scalp. Every spot that is affected is hot to the touch. I'm miserable!?!? I can't get to the doctor for over a week, does anyone have an idea what might be wrong? What can I do to treat the symptoms until I see the doc?

No, I haven't come into contact with anything new, I'm using the same hair and skin products i always do. I haven't eaten anything out of the ordinary. I'm in Cali so the temperature isn't changing that much and I'm not exposed to heaters...so that isn't it either. Just wanted to clear those up!

Does anyone know a site I can upload an audio file of this size for free? Thanks

I've recently moved to a new city and I am a full time grad student. I'm new to the area and I'm a little bit lonely and bored, and so I'm having trouble focusing on school. What are some ideas of hobbys or activities I could do to make friends? I'm not athletic so nothing like a gym or dance classes or athletic clubs please, and I don't want to get a part time job either.

Also, once I've figured ideas for activities, how do you make friends in a class? I've never had problems with it before, but I'm finding the more time I spend by myself, the more reserved I'm becoming. It feels like I've forgotten how to make friends. I've been in school classes for over two months and don't have one friend that I hang out with yet...

Thank you for your help, I've never had to deal with a situation like this before and I don't like that I'm becoming a recluse! It needs to stop!

Ok, so this only happens in the fall, so it has nothing to do with lotions or detergents or medications. What happens is at any given time, a part of my body will start itching (sometimes its back or stomach, sometimes arms, sometimes legs or feet or hands, sometimes neck or even face) and the area gets hot and red, and when I itch I get raised bumps (ranging from small bumps to large welts). These go away after 15 mins to 2hours. Does anyone know what causes this? What treatments would you recommend? Help!!

I moved into my apartment in the beginning of Sept. By the end of the month, even though i wear a t-shirt and pajama bottoms to bed, I was noticing red welts about the size of a dime all over my stomach, back and breasts. I probably get 4 or 5 new ones every night. They stay swollen for roughly 3 days then they just look like flea bites (really small). I have a cat, but he is on advantage. He is not getting bitten, and he sleeps on the bed too. I get the bites when I sleep (including durring the day when I take naps.) I've checked for bloodstains or small black dots (bed bug feces) as well as have looked for the bedbugs themselves. I haven't found anything. Could it still be bedbugs even though I haven't seen any signs other than the bites? If so, what can I do to get rid of them, I can exterminate, but not until Thanksgiving weekend when my kitten and I will be out of town. If possible I'd like to do something to stop it sooner than that. Any help is really apprecaited.

My kitty (almost 5 months) was neutered yesterday. When I brought him home he was extremely hyper and destructive. After about 6 hours he calmed down and slept. Today he hasn't done anything but sleep. Usually he gets up every few hours to play for awhile, but today he hasn't played much at all, and has been sleeping for the last 8+ hours. Also, when I try to wake him up, he just goes right back to sleep, he can't seem to stay awake. Do I have anything to worry about? It just seems odd that he went from so energetic to so sleepy in such a short amount of time. Thanks!

I brought my kitten home from the vets last week, and within a few days we had fleas. Only a few, so I treated him with Advantage. Now he's not getting bitten, but I am! It's getting worse every day. I'm their only sorce of food! I've got over 40 bites from my chest to my waist. It's horrible! I've vacumed, but I live in a studio so there area alot of places with heavy furniture that I can't get to. I'm washing all my bedding today, so hopefully that will help. Are there any alternatives besides fumigating? I don't want to do this because my cat is indoor only and there is nowhere for me to put him while this is done to the house. I need an option I can do while my kitten is in the house that won't harm him. Help!??! I'm sick and tired of being flea food!!!

He hasn't gone for at least 8 hours...is this normal? He's 12 weeks old and fully litter box trained.

Ok, so I know cats are nocturnal. I'm aware that they're up all night playing. The problem is that I adopted a spayed femal cat this week, and she is up all night meowing. I'm a grad student so home all day and she gets plenty of attention. However, around 3am she starts meowing, and it doesn't stop! I can't take much more of this, I'm going nuts. I wanted an indoor only cat and the agency I got her through said she was indoor, quiet and cuddly. Well she isn't any of those things. Is this meowing all night long normal? If it doesn't stop, is it wrong of me to take her back to the humane society?

Ok, so I got a new laptop and tranfered my songs via an external hard drive. For some reason, about 60 songs would not transfer. So now I just have my new laptop with itunes installed, with the 60 songs missing. However, the songs are still on my IPOD, I haven't updated the song list, just plugged in and charged the Ipod. Ok so my question is this: Is there a way for me to update my Itunes with the playlist from my Ipod?

I recently put up a white board on my wall. The wall is tan and the whiteboard had a white plastic frame. When I took it down, there was a discoloration wherever the frame had touched the wall. I checked my other picture frames (all wood) and none of them had left any sort of mark on the wall. I've tried to get it out (using first windex, then Chlorox wipes) but the stain is not coming off. Do you have any recommendations of a product that could fix the problem? I rent the room and am moving out soon and I don't want to get charged for the owners to repaint the room. Thanks!

I have a new laptop, the wireless button is on and I have logged on to our home wireless network. However, the laptop is still not recognizing that it is connected. Even though the signal is excelent, there is a yellow triangle w/a black arrow next to the connectivity icon. What is the problem and how can I fix it. Kinda desperate here, so thanks in advance for the help!

Ok, so heres the deal. I'm attempting to copy all word, pic and mp3 files from my old laptop onto an external hardrive, then I'll move transfer them from the hardrive onto my new laptop. The problem is that my computer is not recognizing the hardrive. When I got to My Computer and look up all recognized drive, the only two that come up are C and D (my cd/dvd drive) why is this happening, what can I do to fix the problem. Detailed answers only please, I'm not too great wit computers. Thanks!

I just got a new laptop. I need to transfer all the files (MP3, pics, word docs) from my old laptop to my new laptop. I have an external hardrive available if I need it. How EXACTALLY do I get the files from one hard drive to another? I've heard people say you can transfer files from one computer to another, I just don't quite understand how you connect A to B to get the info from A to B...if you get what I mean. Help!

The processors recommended by my grad school program are Pentium, Celeron and AMD Athlon. What about Turion or Centrino? Any input would be greatly appreciated
