We just purchased a pet bed for our 5 pound chihuahua from ebay. When we got the product and opened it up, there was a tag attached to the bed cushion. It reads WARNING This product contains lead and/or cadmium chemicals known to the state of california to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Obviously this warning was not mentioned in the ebay ad, and we do not know if the seller even knew the tag is there. We have contacted them and are waiting for a response, but how serious is the warning??? I've read online that california considers everything dangerous these days...

On Saturday, I got an 8 week old male lab puppy. I have 2 females dog in the house. He knows to go outside to pee and poop, but he seems to deliberately pee in the house a million times a day, in addition to going outside. Its like he's "marking", but I don't know if he's too young to do that, and if that's the case, how do I stop it?

We have a home wireless network, with a network printer, but I would like to add a wireless printer to put into another room for when the office is not accessible.

Something that does not take up much space would be best.

I remember eating these as a child, but I thought they were called truffles. Now, it seems like truffles are round. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? They were maybe about 1/4" thick, and about 1" square.

My laptop is showing it is wirelessly connected to the LAN at work, but it will not all go online... how can I get it to go online?

Our chihuahua seems to be generating a very foul smell from her neck area. She has had several baths, but the smell returns. She is also scratching the neck slightly, but I can not see any abnormalities on the skin to cause any problem.

I called the Vet, and might be bringing her in tomorrow, but in the meantime, is there anything we should or could be doing to help her?

Are there any programs available which will put something similar to the MacAC dockbar on the bottom of my desktop in windows xp?

I saw it at the Mac store yesterday, and it looked really cool...

Our 2004 Tiburon came with the fancy wheels with 17" rims... unfortunately, the tires are wearing down in less than a year. Is it possible to downsize the rims to 15" so we can get a more durable tire for it?

My daughter's cat is about 9 months old, 15 pounds, healthy, but has an extremely sensitive stomach. She has tried several different foods, including Kitten chow, then science diet kitten, then nutro max kitten, then nutro max adult, then nutro max weight control, and now science diet sensitive stomach. He seems to handle the food for about a week or so, and then he randomly thows up and/or has diarrhea. We had him to the vet, and he was given pills to ease the problem, and it worked for a few weeks, but then the problem started again...

My family enjoys it when I make tempura for dinner, usually with chicken or fish, broccoli, onion, etc. I usually fry it after dipping it into the batter. But it takes so long, and is very messy. Does anyone have any easier oven-based ideas?

I'm looking for a device for my father in law so he can monitor his stocks throughout the day. I don't know if anyone makes a separate device to do this, or if a PDA has the capability... any ideas would be great!

I would like to convert my collection of home-tapes on 8mm tapes to DVDs. I have already done my VHS-c tapes by using an adaptor to put the tapes into the VCR. Is there anything similar that would hold an 8mm tape?

As usual, after a dinner at the Outback, we have leftover Bloomin Onion. I've tried to reheat it before, but it never gets crispy. It either burns, or is soggy, and sometimes, both. I've baked it, toasted it, broiled, nothing works. Does anyone have any positive experience with this?

My kids have tired of their gamecube, and I hooked it up to my tv...but I'm not interested in the games they have. I'm looking for a game that requires more thinking of possibly a puzzle theme... does anyone have any suggestions?

I'm looking to find a way to make some money from home, either through one of those networking companies, or data entry, etc, but i don't really know where to start. I've looked into some in the past, but they have always been more of a scam than a real opportunity to make money.

Has anyone been successful making money at home?

Thanks,

I think there's a name for this product that starts with the letter G, but I can't remember it. It usually has cauliflower, celery, maybe small onions, etc.

Thanks!

I am purchasing airline tickets through my travel agent, but I am not receiving any incoming email from her agency. I checked my bulk folder, and it is empty. She has sent me 4 different emails, and I have not received one. When she sent it to my bellsouth.net account, it goes right through, no problem.

I just bought a "red papaya", and am wondering when it will be ripe enough to dehydrate. Right now, it is very hard, and almost all green on the outside. Do I need to wait for it to ripen further, or will it be more nutritious if I use it as it is.
