  • Please Help, What are the effects of Poisonous Nightshade?

    My mom had a run in with some nightshade and I am just worried about her. She said it was about 2 feet tall, green stem with leaves that came to a point with either white or purple flowers, they weren't in bloom. She was cutting some weeds down and cut this stem and got the center of the stem got on her. Now she has some blistering and where it opens its spreading. I just hope someone would help me to know more about this plant, and if I need to force her to go to the doctors. Thank you for any help.

  • How do I not seem desperate for this job?

    Okay so I have had a job for about two months and I hate it so badly. Can not stand being there, and most importantly I am not making enough money there to pay my bills. I applied for a new job close by and I met all of their qualifications (surpassed some) and I really think I would enjoy working there. I put in my application on the 20th and checked in on the 27th, the person I talked to wrote down my name and told me she would make sure the store manager looked at my application on the 30th (Friday) No word yet, but I figure he is the store manager and is probably busy. A friend told me I should check in again later this week. How long should I wait? I really want to work there and get out of the place I currently work. But I don't want to appear desperate. How should I go about this? Thanks for any useful advise!

  • Should I take my cat to the vet?

    Ok first off it's not really my cat, she's my sisters cat. She moved and is supposed to buy her a plane ticket. But in the mean time she is staying with me. She has been with me for about 2 and a half months and I noticed her babying her front right paw yesterday so my mom and I caught her and I checked her out and it looks like there is a piece of kitty litter like stuck in her paw, like the pad of her paw. I tried to carefully get it out but she got mad and ran away. So today she wouldn't put either front paw down and I picked her up and I noticed that all her pads of her paws are like bruised and/or cut up a bit. I'm really nervous for her because I've had cats my whole life and never seen a cat with this issue. She is declawed, and I have also never had a declawed cat. Should I switch to cedar litter? A friend suggested that. Thank you for any useful answers.

  • What kind of spider is this please?

    I live in Western New York and I've killed 3 of the same kind of spider in the past week. I really really hate spiders so this is really freaking me out, especially because today I killed on because it was crawling on my shoulder. So they're like the size of a quarter maybe, the body is black and the legs are orange. I don't know what it is and its really freaking me out, I just want to know if they're dangerous. Thank you

  • Is this a good sized fish tank?

    For a friends birthday she wants 1 big gold fish and 2 little gold fish, she isn't very helpful when it comes to size of tank though. The best advice I've gotten is that for every inch of fish you need a gallon of tank. So for those 3 fish would a 5 gallon tank work? More specifically this one? http://www.walmart.com/ip/Tetra-Aquarium-Starter-K...

    Any ideas or suggestions are good thank you! (I know nothing about fish)

  • Cooking for the P90X?

    I'm about to start the P90X and I'm really excited about it but I am nervous about being able to follow the meal plan they give you. The choices seem so slim and some seem pricey; honestly I'm not the type to want to cook fillet Mignon for dinner on a Wednesday or something. Any advise on that? Also once I'm done with the P90X any suggestions as far as cookbooks for maintenance? Or cookbooks that are good for while I'm doing the P90X? And please don't misunderstand me, I plan on following their guidelines for servings and such but the same meals for 3 weeks in a row seems rough. Thanks to any good advise!

  • Filing a complaint against employer?

    I work in a small grocery store and I am sick and tired of a certain employee getting special attention from a manager. They will not fire her for no known reason, we think because her mom works there. She does not follow dress codes, any rules and does whatever she wants, including stealing a managers keys to try to get money out of him. Only one manager is standing in the way of her being fired. I want to file a complaint with someone but I dont know who to look to, any help? I have done everything I can at the moment, I have talked to all the managers and most agree that they would like to fire her but their brother(the other manager) wont allow it. I do plan on getting a new job, dont tell me to just deal with it. I am serious please help me out.

  • Anyone but Americans--UHC can someone explain?

    Ok I know most Americans absolutely abhor the idea of U.H.C but I want to know why? I mean say for once the government doesn't screw up royally, and they get something right? Then everyone would be insured and then I wouldn't have to be scared about getting sick or having to see a doctor and how much it will cost. Now we do have some form of health care again my mom got a job at a factory, but seriously I'm 18 I haven't been to a dentist in 6 years, I went to a regular doctor for the first time in 6 or 7 years a couple months back because I got really really sick. If you even dare think that my parents are lazy kick yourself right now. My parents work their butts off every day, I cant remember the last day my dad stayed home from his business. My dad has always owned his own car care business and he never even graduated high school. So I don't want to hear any of that well bums will be able to get the same care as me b.s. Shouldn't we want everyone to be treated equal(had a funny feeling that's what our country was founded on)? Don't you think that if the 'bums' could get proper care that they could be healthy and try to get jobs, not that there really are any to get now a days but still. I understand that we would still pay for our health care, in taxes. But then itd be taken straight out and you wouldn't think about it. Ok, my uncle for example, got into a terrible motorcycle accident, not his fault, he wasnt even moving, an 83 year old man did a U turn and hit him. Within oh a month or two if that my dad and aunt added up the costs of what they knew about and he was up to half a million dollars and rising. He has afflac but he's going to need care for quite some time. If we had UHC then people like him wouldn't have to be worried about the debt for their whole lives. He also is a terribly hard worker owning a car repair shop as well. But He doesn't worry about the debt, with the brain damage he doesn't worry about much besides remembering things. So Can someone just explain to me UHC? I don't want to hear anything form Americans.

    I got a letter in the mail from this Vector company, but I don't understand what the jobs available are. It says that there are jobs open in my hometown, but I live in a very small town so I'm a bit suspicious. Is this a telemarketing thing, or door to door things or what? Ive tried researching the company a bit but I wasn't able to get any real information. Any information any one has would help. Thank you!

  • What do I do about his parents?

    My boyfriend and I were going out for two years and five months when we agreed to take a break, although it was like we never broke up, we still hung out and all that. So we are getting back together now after two months and we have been having a lot of serious talks about how we can make our relationship better. My big issue is his parents.

    His dad and his current wife, well I feel like they really don't like me. Whenever I would go to his house I felt really unwanted. Also both of them and his siblings (brother and step) always give him attitude when he gets home from hanging out with me because we aren't together. They think that he comes over to mess around and then leaves. But he is actually my best friend and we just hang out. So he wont come over because of that.

    I am just asking how do I handle his family because I feel that they really don't want me around or even like me. That's a problem for me because he is the guy I want to be with. To be cliche he is 'the one' for me. So I need to figure out how to handle just going to his house when I feel and very well may be completely unwanted. Any advice?
