i just bought a 16.2 hand gelding that's been out on a dry lot. he's been getting round baled grass hay, but the rest of the herd ran him off a lot. i'm having him delivered this weekend to my barn. there is lush green grass in all of my pastures. how should i go about turning him out? is it possible to founder an underweight horse this time of year if i just put him out on pasture from around 5 pm until 6 am?

i found an all purpose saddle that looks really nice in pictures. it's a blue ridge brand. all i know is that this brand apparently is made in argentina, and the few i've seen used usually sell for under 200 dollars. i'm assuming this is some low end economy brand.... but does anyone know anything else about this brand? if you have ever owned or ridden in one how was the quality?

ok my roommates cat decided to pee on my half chaps....they were flipped inside out so the pee is on the inside (suede) side of the chaps. anything work to get rid of the smell?!?! my chaps are black so darkening isnt an issue.... and this is the inside so neither is fading... im willing to try anything to get rid of the smell... fire away the suggestions

my girlfriend has a 12 year old son that she still allows to sleep in bed with her when i'm working at night. on my nights off her son sleeps on the couch (he has his own bed) and she allows this, but he makes up some excuse or reason to come in the bedroom or get her out of bed (like mom can you make me something to eat, or mom i'm cold turn the heat up, or mom im scared i heard something) i understand feeling secure with a parent is a normal part of childhood but isnt 12 a bit old to still be in this phase? the boy will be 13 soon. am i unreasonable in my thinking that he needs to be in his own bed ALL the time and my girlfriend is doing more harm that good?

can you name these dog breeds? all breeds are AKC recognized purebreds. first correct answer wins. images may be adults or puppies/young dogs. number 7 is not a good example of the breed really...

i have a three week old tongue peircing and the bar is now too long after all the swelling is gone. i have a shorter bar to replace it but i can't get the beads to unscrew. how can i (safely) loosen them up? i'm not sticking a dirty pair of pliars in my mouth!

**the barbell is internally threaded if that makes a difference

i just found a great little pet store that sells super premium cat food near my new house (just moved to a new town). the best thing available to me before was royal canin so now that there is something better available i want to switch my cats to a new (better) brand, but i'm not sure which is best for my kitties. the choices i have are:

Merricks BG (before grain) in chicken, salmon, or tuna variety

Solid Gold katz-en-flocken

Natural Balance all life stages

Nutro

my cats are 9 and 8 month old siamese males (both neutered). they are the extreme show type and are about to begin their adult show careers so it's VERY important that their coat quality remains and that their weights do not increase (i know food alone isnt the cause of wieght gain as much as how much they're being fed)

i need an interesting/rare disorder to use during a general discussion in my college anatomy class. i'm a nurse so i'm very familiar with typical hospital illnesses... i'm looking to learn something new, and have something to present to my classmates. any suggestions on a topic?

i woke up from bed with slightly blurred vision in both eyes. it totally cleared in one eye within a few minutes but one eye is still blurry/cloudy and i'm seeing spots and flashes of light and color that will not go away. it gets better for a while but then comes back. overall though my vision isnt getting any worse and it's only in one eye. i'm at work and cannot see a doctor until i get off in the morning. what should i do until then?

** i'm not diabetic, i havent had any injuries or trauma (to cause a retinal detachment), my blood pressure isnt high, and i don't have any headaches

i've been looking for a pit bull for some time and i found a staffy mix at a local rescue that needs a home. he's 1 1/2 old bridle and white (which i'm partial to) but i want to make sure i could provide a good home for him. he's been temperment tested with kids (i dont have any), animals (gets along great with all animals), and people. he would be the only dog and would be inside and outside with supervision. i have a 6 foot fenced yard and he would never be let off leash outside the fence. i've been pre-approved to get the dog if i want him. i really like him but want to make sure i can give him the best home! i've had other dogs in the past (chihuahuas, doxies, coc*** spaniels, bassett hounds, beagles, mutts) so this wouldnt be my first dog, but it would be my first bully breed

anyone have any recipies for vegan artichoke dipping sauces? i'm not interested in anything made with sour cream, mayonaise, or butter for those of you that don't understand and will still post these items anyway

i'm looking for a system to play at work during the night. which is better for an adult? i've been leaning toward a DS lite but i want REAL information and stats on both systems. cost is not a factor in my decision. i want something with huge gaming possibilities and lots of options

i'm in a long term live in relationship and recently my boyfriend is complaining that i say other names in my sleep (usually ex boyfriends) i have no interest in these other men and have never cheated on my boyfriend. it's very disturbing for him that i keep sleep-talking. how can i deal with this and make it stop?

some background information... this will be my first pedigreed cat. the kitten comes with current vaccines, 1 year genetic health guarantee, and will already be altered. it will be at least 16 weeks old before the breeder will re-home it. i've already been through the screening process and approved by the breeder to purchase... i just need to select my kitten and make a deposit to hold it.

1) whats the average price of a pet quality kitten from two GC parents with CFA titles and multiple generations of champions in pedigree?

2) is royal canin (what the breeder feeds) ok for cats or would it be better to use evo or cannidae

3) are there any questions i should ask the breeder before i put a deposit on a kitten, that i dont already know (see above information)?

answers not addressing this post will be ignored

which brands/types of non-dairy milk are the best tasting? i've only tried silk and i thought it was HORRIBLE!! what's your favorite? i geuss i should add that i think milk is disgusting... so anything that tastes like milk is not appealing to me
