I have a red male beta fish I call Mason. I am moving to NY from Minnesota next month. I want to take Mason with me if possible. Is it possible? For now, for what i know, myself and my cat are flying, and my stuff is being moved by a moving company. Can my fish go too or do I have to find him a new home? I'd really rather not but will if I have to.

2 AnswersOther - Food & Drink1 decade agoWhat on earth should I do?
This is kind of a long story so bear with me.
I have been engaged since last Christmas eve. I love him very very much. Our wedding was supposed to be October 18th. However, on friday night, one of his college buddies stopped to see us. within a few hours I was very angry with my guy because of his attitude and other things. ( I barely even remember now). His friend out of the blue wanted to have sex with me. I was so angry I said OK. Then, when it came right down to it, I said no, that I couldn't, because I love my man and can't do anything that would hurt him. So i didn't cheat on him. However, he thinks I did. He refuses to believe me, which is crazy because I have never done anything that would give him reason not to trust me. He's now at his parents, 90 miles away and I am here, alone, at our place. I don't know what I am going to do if he doesn't come back. I can't get to work without him. I have NO money and bills due . Right now I have food but I dunno how long that will last. I'm facing having to move 900 miles out to NY to live with my dad since I can't make it on my own and my mom is dead ( she died of breast cancer 7/13) and I am an only child and don't really have any friends or nearby family. I don't know what to do right now. I am so confused and lost. I'm very depressed. I won't go to the hospital though. NO WAY. So does anyone have any advice on all this?? I just love him so much and miss him and want him to come home. Oh, and he took my TV and had no right to. When he left on Saturday morning, he didn't leave me a note or anything, just took some of his things and left. i have barely been able to stop crying since then.
10 AnswersMarriage & Divorce1 decade agoShould I see my doctor about this?
I have noticed over the last... probably 6 months or more than when I have a migraine ( god they're annoying) if I move my head the wrong way ( mostly if I have to look or bend it downward) I have extreme pain in my neck, almost like a spasm and I can't move my head really for a few seconds and the pain in my head gets worse. Actually, I've had this happen when I DIDN'T have a migraine but then I got one shortly after. I felt like my neck was like, stuck. oh and the pain got like 5x worse during the "spasm". Should I go to my doctor???
5 AnswersOther - General Health Care1 decade agoJust really bad flea bites/mosquito bites or something else? Doctor visit worthy?? ( PICS INSIDE)?
After a visit to my fiancee's friend's, we both came back with what appear to be flea bites and I KNOW I got a mosquito bite or two the next night. However, these are taking forever to go away and are VERY itchy. Oh, and don't say they are chicken pox because that's impossible, I have already had the chicken pox twice, once at age 4 and age at age 18.

I have a beautiful pink satin blanket that my dad gave me. The problem is, it stinks. I'm not sure why, it didn't smell right when it got here.

2 AnswersCleaning & Laundry1 decade agoIs it okay to give my adult cat some wet cat food now and then?
I have an adorable male tabby sort of cat who is 8 years old. He loves his dry food and is a good eater. I was wondering if health wise, its okay if I gave him a little can of wet food now and then as a little treat? I think he might enjoy it but I was wondering if its ok.
18 AnswersCats1 decade agoWhat should we do about the litter box?
I have an adorable 8 year old male cat named Buddy. He is a very good boy and always uses his litter box. Problem is, he's also a very MESSY boy. We have the litter box in the bathroom and our bathroom isn't real big. He tends to get litter everywhere, including in our bathtub. which of course, is yucky. I want to get one of those covers for the box that make it private and so that he can't get his litter everywhere. ( we can't put the box any where else) . The problem is, he hates his carrier and I am afraid he'll think its another carrier and refuse to go in there and go potty and might go somewhere else that he shouldn't. Do you think there is any chance he'd be OK with the cover on his box? I don't know what the person I got him from had for him.
6 AnswersCats1 decade agoHow can I help my fiancee on the "faith road" ?
I'm devout Catholic and very strong in my faith in God. I have already been through that place where you doubt God. It was awhile ago but I came out with even stronger faith than ever. My fiancee is at that place now, where he is doubting God and his love for us. I want to help him on this journey and help him to realize that God does love him and is there for him always and is not against us and that having faith is a good thing. He is struggling so much with this. He'll even say to me " Your God". I know he still believes, he's just having such a hard time. What can i do? are there any really good scriptures I could show him? I don't try to push the Catholic faith on him. and I am not talking about that. I'm just talking about Christianity in general. so could anyone give me some advice and ideas???

9 AnswersWeddings1 decade agoI'm just curious, is this okay?
My wedding is in 6 weeks on October 18th. I'm sending out invites this week ( a tad late I know) and I totally spaced and didn't put instructions in them as to how to get from the church to the reception. ( since they are not being held the same place.) Would it be okay for me to have the pastor say something at the end like introducing my mom's special friend and telling everyone to follow him to the reception, since he lives where the reception will be? He reserved the room for us as a wedding present. ( Free room, YAY.) I'm just wondering if that's okay or if that's a no no.
21 AnswersWeddings1 decade agoSome help here please!?
My mom died on July 13th. I'm an only child and I have been having a really hard time dealing with it. Tonight has been really hard. I can't stop thinking about killing myself so I can be with her again. No one around me seems to understand the pain I'm going through. and its not just losing mom either. I'm in physical pain constantly and I am tired of it. I never have any energy. I have a heart condition ( POTS) that causes severe dizzy spells and I can't stand that much longer, I can't do much because of the fear of a dizzy spell leading to a fainting spell. ( which has happened several times already. which is why I have to have my cell phone charged and on me at all times when left alone.) anyway, I'm just tired of this life and am struggling to hold on. What the hell should I do??? should I be in the hospital again? I know you'll all bring up my user name. I'm engaged and my wedding is in 6 1/2 weeks. Even that is bringing me no joy anymore. I still love my fiancee with all of whats left of my heart and soul, but I'm unhappy. I don't want to hurt him but I can't go on either. Help, please!
8 AnswersMental Health1 decade agoWhat do you think about this name?
My fiancee and I aren't expecting yet but we are talking about baby names. My mother passed away from breast cancer on July 13th at 6:25 pm at the age of 58. She was my best friend in the world and I was VERY close to her. He really liked her too and got along with mom great and she liked him. So, we want to name our first daughter after my mom.
Her name was Carol. However, I don't intend to use her middle name ( Lee) as the middle name. I want to use her maiden name. So our daughters name would be Carol Ludescher Grubb.
What do you think about that? Is it dumb?
18 AnswersBaby Names1 decade agoGenerally speaking, how much does a box-spring cost?
Our box-spring is broken ( on my side of the bed too, dang it) and I am wondering how much a new one would cost us. Would just putting some boards under there be cheaper?? ( Under the box-spring I mean). We are assuming the reason the box-spring will not stay on the frame is due to the break. The frame is 4 years old and seems to still be in good shape. So, what does a new box-spring cost??? I'd rather do that than the boards if possible.
2 AnswersDo It Yourself (DIY)1 decade agoHow do I firmly tell her I don't want to be friends again without being totally rude?
I was best friends with a girl I'll call Kristy for 11 years. ( 6th grade until last December). Kristy is now acting like she wants to be friends again. I have no interest in being friends with her again. Every time I have had a fight with her and made up, something else ends up happening and the last 2 major fights we had were because she slept with someone that I cared about, totally disregarding my feelings. I suspect I am the only "friend" she has and that's why she's trying to make amends. I am trying to stay away, she is nothing but trouble. For example, I had just started dating my now fiancee when we had that wicked fight in December. The day after, she called him and started hitting on him! She's MARRIED and has been for 2 years now. I also think that she just wants someone to help take care of her kids like I used to. She's gonna have her 3rd kid in about 6 weeks, her third in about 2 years. the first 2 are 18 months apart in age and the new one and her last one will be 16 months apart in age. I let her influence me too much before and ended up with an STD because of it- HPV. But anyway, I don't want to be friends again. I have tried to get this message through but she's not getting it. How do I get it through to her without being a total *****, since i don't feel like acting like that? ( and because if i do she'll go running to the cops saying I'm harassing her. She can't handle anything for herself so she always calls the cops about stupid crap.)
2 AnswersFriends1 decade agoHow do I really tell my fiancee how much I want a baby?
We will be married in 2 1/2 months, on October 18th. I do, for the most part, enjoy the freedom we have right now, it being just us and the cat. However, quite often, I want to start trying for a baby. I have waited so long already. I'm going to be 24 this Christmas Eve, I feel more than old enough to be a mother. Half my female classmates from HS are mom's and married. Its at long last my turn to get married. I just want a baby so so badly. I know we should have time to ourselves as a married couple first but I am so tired of nearly bursting into tears every time I see yet another woman pregnant or with a baby or her kids, or getting sad when we pass the baby clothes at wal-mart. I know and understand that things will never be the same once we have a baby. I won't get many quiet moments like right now. But I don't want to wait much longer to start trying. How do I show my man just how much I want this?
I have already had a taste of how it will be. I KNOW its hard work and very tiring. I practically lived with my former best friend at one point and she had a baby AND a 1 1/2 year old. I took care of the baby when I was there like, 99% of time. All day and nights too. for a week at a time sometimes. So I got the idea, believe me. And I STILL want it. I don't care if its a boy or girl ( although a girl would be nice). So how do I tell him how much I hurt inside at the thought of having to wait possibly 2 more years? ( which is what he's talking about, since he keeps saying he doesn't think he's ready, which I know is a crock of sh*t because he LOVES kids and is really good with them and will be a really good daddy. Its killing me inside, him wanting to wait that long, and me loving him and not wanting anyone else but not wanting to wait that long either.
Also, telling me I have lots of time because I'm only 23 doesn't help sh*t. It doesn't stop the actual physical ache I feel inside for my own child when I see a mom and baby or yet another woman pregnant.
I took care of the baby, from the time he was a newborn until he was 6 months. I also was a volunteer at the daycare center here for 6 1/2 years, with 3 age groups- 6 weeks to 1 year, 1 year to 3 years, and 3 years to 5 years. I also did a ton of baby-sitting, mostly for my former pastors 3 kids, who were 5, 6, and 8 at the time. So I know darn well what we would be getting into.
6 AnswersPregnancy1 decade agoNeed Advice Please!! Issue with my fiancee...?
I'm engaged and will be married on October 18th. I love my fiancee dearly and don't want anyone else. ( except John Cena lol.) Here's the problem- He has a MUCH bigger sex drive than me. I'm just not horny as often as he is. ( he's horny like, every day ..) I have fibromyalgia and I know that people with it can have a lower sex drive. I AM attracted to him, I think he's sexy and cute and when we do make love, its GREAT. I'm just not in the mood as much as him and it annoys him. Like, we haven't done it in 2 days and he's getting all grumpy. I dunno what to do about this. I don't know if he has an overactive sex drive or if I have a sluggish one or what.... How do I figure this all out and what to I do so we can both be happy and satisfied? I really love him!
