My 5 year old son's pet hamster died, what's the best way to handle this?
How do you explain the concept of death to a 5-year-old? My son thinks our pet hamster is going to wake up and be OK. I would really appreciate any advice/feedback on this. I don't know what to say to him. He knows the hamster is dead but I don't think he fully understands what that means.
Thank you.
18 AnswersGrade-Schooler1 decade agoCan you use nail polish remover to take the band-aid adhesive off of someone's skin?
The *nurse* at my (5-year-old) son's pediatrician's office told me to use nail polish remover to get the sticky leftover adhesive from a band-aid off of my son's skin. This does not sound safe or healthy to me. Could some healthcare professionals confirm for me if this is right or not? Actually I would appreciate anyone's imput. I've never heard of that before. Thank you for your help!!!

So what happens if you have this test done and find out that your unborn child has something that is bad....what can you do about it anyway? Seems to me that the only alternative is abortion. I was just wondering what is good about pre-natal testing and why it makes sense. Your thoughts?

8 AnswersOther - Diseases1 decade agoWhat is the difference between the common cold and allergies?
I know this question sounds stupid but when I tell people I have a cold I always hear "It could be allergies." I know the cold is the rhinovirus and an allergy is not a virus. My question is, are there different symptoms for a cold vs. allergies? I really don't think I am allergic to anything but I am curious about how people come to that conclusion.
6 AnswersOther - General Health Care1 decade agoPantry Pests, how do you get rid of them?
I was wondering if anyone has ever had a problem with Pantry Pests, those ugly tan colored moths that usually hang out in your kitchen, and what can you do to get rid of them? I guess they are also known as Indian Meal Moths. I don't know where they are coming from (there are a few of them flying in each of the rooms in the house) but they are really annoying.
Here is a pic of what they look like:

9 AnswersOther - General Health Care1 decade agoJob advice: I'm going crazy and I need to know if I got the job, should I call them?
OK I went on an interview on my b-day August 10th for a job I really want. The following Monday (8/14) I had a second interview with the same company for the same job. I had an employment test right after that interview. One day later the Human Resources Manager told me they were down to a couple of candidates and needed references. The next day the human resources manager went on vacation and won't be back until August 28th. She left an emergency call number for another person in human resources on her voicemail. Do you think I should call that emergency number and ask what is going on with the job? I haven't heard anything and I am going crazy over here. I am worried that I lost the job. I don't want to hurt my chances by being too pushy, but I don't want to lose the job either. What would you do? Thanks for your opinions and advice.

3 AnswersOther - Entertainment1 decade agoQueen's song "Love of My Life." What do you think about it?
I was surprised when I downloaded and listened to this song "Love of My Life" by Queen. Here are the lyrics:
Love of my life - you've hurt me
You've broken my heart and now you leave me
Love of my life can't you see
Bring it back, bring it back
Don't take it away from me, because you don't know -
What it means to me
Love of my life don't leave me
You've taken my love, you now desert me
Love of my life can't you see
Bring it back, bring it back
Don't take it away from me, because you don't know -
What it means to me
You won't remember -
When this is blown over
And everything's all by the way -
When I get older
I will be there at your side to remind you
How I still love you - I still love you
Back - hurry back
Please bring it back home to me
Because you don't know what it means to me -
Love of my life
Love of my life
I wish I could post a sample of the song on here, I couldn't find it online anywhere. If you've heard it, what do you think of it?
