  • One of my cats has many small blemishes/scabs about its face. Why ?

    Tiger is about 8 years old. Within the past year he has developed many small scabs behind his ears, under his chin and down his throat a bit, and in various spots on his head. He has always been an indoor cat only. This appears to be a skin issue not a bug issue. He has a few long time cat pals at home and they rarely ever even play fight.

    I feel badly for him and wonder what this is. Is this normal ? Is it aging alone ? Is it some skin disorder ? He does not appear to be in any discomfort either.

    The blemishes have slowly increased similar to teen acne.

    Please comment if you know what this is ?

  • Given the Budget crisis - Would Social Security Checks also affect Social Security Disability Checks (SSI) ?

    SSI Checks result from Social Security Disability/Injury - the amount based on the $ deducted from paychecks over the years.

    This is NOT retirement Social Security.

    So will both checks STOP if the Federal Government cannot reach a compromise - or simply the retirement checks ?

  • Should Evangelical Christian moms, with children under 9 years of age, drink alcohol/wine ?

    Is it inappropriate. If so, why ? Does our Lord frown upon believers who feel occasional drinking of wine is acceptable - or does God state anywhere that the moderate drinking of alcohol is improper.

    Do most pastors feel drinking any alcohol is forbidden ?

    Getting "drunk" is not acceptable for Christians, but is moderate drinking permitted by God ? Is it an acceptable example for mothers with young children?

  • Need some clarification please ?

    Medical Marijuana question ?

    I have been taking Morphine for 7 years as I am on disability with chronic pain. I am a male, 46. I hate taking the 200 mg. of morphine daily and would like to try marijuana to help, yet it has been about 10 years since I smoked, and I don't live in a state where I can get a Medial Marijuana Card. The market now has been flooded with various herbal mixes. All I want is regular weed for personal use to help offset the pain, but must go through alternate channels to get it.

    A friend agreed to sell me 1/2 ounce of "weed" for $50, claiming it is KB (cannabis, weed, marijuana). Is he attempting to sell the $12.50 - 1/2 oz. of this herbal KB crap that is legal in any smoke shop in America or online ? Although he's a friend, the price seems unrealistic for what he calls KB "Killer Bud" ? I simply want the real thing. Thoughts ?

    What is the easiest and proper way to be certain this "weed" is genuine true marijuana/ganja and not some crappy herbal mix or salvia ? I am not aiming to waste my time with this guy if he's an idiot. Salvia wasn't even around prior to this tumor on my spinal cord, which resulted now in this daily battle with pain. Life is painful enough without worrying about getting ripped off !

    Let me know ??

    Thanks !

  • A Cervical spinal lesion left me disabled - twice operated on, and & disabled, receiving only SSA benefits ?

    I am 46 years only old now, and am tired of taking 290 mg of morphine to manage pain, as well as 150 mg Effexor XR daily. The chronic pain was the only issue which decided my case. I have extensively researched my dilemma and have become a true believer. Now that my 3 kids children are in college I am eager to privately self-medicate with marijuana. I am no gardener and am in no shape to "hustle" it myself. Although I was born in Canada, and am still a citizen, I live in SC, just south of Charlotte NC.

    I need help and desire an individual to help me with this approach I am willing to pay the reasonable rate. Can anyone understand what I am going through ? Can they direct me to one who is able to obtain this medicine - one able to assist?

    Many thanks - ArlenRThomas@Yahoo.com

    This is no scam. I have Federal documentation. I simply live in thr wrong state and am suffering for it.

  • Male anatomical personal question. The past year I have developed a distinct rigidity on the top my of penis?

    I am 46 years old and have abstained from sex for over 2 years. I feel a 1mm across, circular, firm, hard, cord-like structure, from stem to head. There is a hardened area midway, though all seems entirely internalized. It mimics the sensation of a tendon. It was never there before !

    It has created urinary malfunction - both a burning pain and tremendous effort is necessary to void. This has all developed gradually throughout the past year or so. I don't know what to think and am unable to find any explanation online.

    Understandably, I am reticent to bring this to the attention of my physician. If it matters, I am disabled due to a severe cervical spinal lesion which left me with chronic pain. For 6 years I have daily taken 150 mg Effexor and 200mg (Morphine Sulfate). Neither ought to have caused this issue.

    Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

  • We own five cats - question?

    We have three male neutered cats over three years of age, we have one spayed female cat, three years of age. A stray female kitten came out of the woods into our back porch, she is now six months old. We realize she needs to be spayed ASAP, however, one of the cats, we suspect a male, has decided to start urinating in various places throughout the house.

    Is this a result of the female projecting hormones? Or could this be a urinary tract infection of some sort? This has not occurred before, will this be remedied should we spay the kitten? Or, is this a territorial issue?

    Lastly, what is an appropriate price for having a six month old cat spayed?

    Thanks for your help

  • Two questions. We adopted a stray 4 week old kitten.?

    We have been bottle feeding her for almost 2 weeks. Therefore she is clearly 5 to 6 weeks old. We have tried all suggested methods to wean her from the bottle - without success.

    What should we do ? What is a last resort - sure fire way to get her on solid food ?

    The mother was a Black Medium hair. The litter had 2 striped grey, one pure black, and 2 biege, with markings similar to a siamese, yet clearly not. We adopted one of the female beige ones. No health issues.

    What "type" of cat is this when friends ask ?

  • Dire cat trouble. Ideas please ?

    A black cat sneaked into out front door and was unnoticed as it looked exactly like our own black cat. .That night, meows under the bed, and a survey of our 4 cats, made us understand the problem. We segregated our 4 cats and tried to get the feral stray to leave. In all the commotion got fiercely bitten on my thumb. I dropped it and it hid overnight in the closet. Our main cat, "Tiger",knows how to open doors in the house. In the morning, after taking the kids to school, we were able - in the quiet - to allow the feral one to leave out the front door. Later that day we realized that Tiger had somehow been scared out of the house. We posted signs and had some possible sightings. Friday morning I called animal control to remove the feral stray black cat as we thought Tiger would never return with her around .The man caught the feral - took it away. We then found 5 kittens-minus mom, now in bed in our tub. No help around after 8 calls. What do I do? They are 4-5 wks old. Help !!!

  • Why do Oil Companies refuse to build more Refineries in America ?

    Every few months we have tragic fires, mechanical breakdowns, and other ridiculous reasons for shutting down one of our own few 30 year old refineries. With the enormous cost oil Crude Oil, and the need to refine it, why do such profitable Oil Companies refuse to invest money into their business. Business 101

    Most individuals with any common sense can understand it is simple greed. If we had more refineries, we could manufacture more gas, the price would lower, and so would their profits.

    Why do we all ignore the issue, stick our heads in the sand, and pay higher prices for everything now?

    We have been fed the oil shortage story for years. Its a lie and we are sick of it. Simply put, we buy oil from Mideastern Countries, so that if they ever run low, we can use our own resources in Alaska, Canada, and the"protected"areas of the Gulf of Mexico.Then sell to back to them.

    Why has fuel mileage per gallon stayed the same for over 30 years ?
