- Mom who works days and evenings (sometimes) - sometimes scared of dogs, esp. if they show aggression.

-Dad works evenings and is home during the day

-Two girls 6 and 10 (10 yr old is easily 'spooked' and may not do too well with being jumped on or barked at... especailly at first)

Considering getting a dog because hubby and youngest daughter have been asking for 3 years now.

Ive read every single Dragonlance book that has ever been written.

Ive read the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind.

Im a 32 yr old female, not much for the alien type stories ... more into the whole magic and good vs evil .. I prefer to read series(s) as opposed to just single books.

Any recommendations?

Can someone please explain to me how this works? My husband just started having contributions put in by his employer he is in LOCAL 30 (Roofing) if that helps. I have no idea how this works so if someone could explain it to me in 'dummy terms' that would be great. How much roughly would we be looking at if he retires at 65? (He is 37 now), making 21.20 hr with a raise of about 2.50/hr every year. up to 34.50/hr .

Hello

I just started hot yoga this week (no formal excercise for the past 9 years but am reletively active in general) the first night, I kept up with the class for the first 15-20 minutes and they layed in corpse because I felt dizzy (adjusting to the heat I guess), I felt no pain or anything the next day, although I did feel better in general. Last night (thats one full day off inbetween) I was able to do the whole practice although I let go of most poses early and modified due to a locking hip and weak core. ... anyways. Im sore today... my shoulders, shoulder blades and my abs... is that normal or does that mean I pushed myself too hard. I dont mind the soreness... its almost like a reminder of 'hey you did something good for your body yesterday)

Anyhow, Im new to yoga in general and really like the hot yoga but want to make sure Im not pushing too hard.

Thanks

I am afraid of dogs in general, Ive previously had very little interaction with this particular dog before but know that he is mild tempered, non aggressive and well trained. My family (2 kids + 2 parents) and their family (also 2 parents + 2 kids + giant dog) are all moving into a house together. I feel like Im going to pee my pants when faced with this dog. I know its not the dog, its me. Ive had relationships (built slowly over time) with other dogs before that were were ok so I know its not impossible but I want to start this one off on a good note... any suggestions ?

Hi, Im a little embarassed to ask this but... Im on antibiotics and Im 99% sure I have a yeast infection. I still have 5 days of antibiotics to go. My symptoms started yesterday (thursday). My husband and I had sex on Tuesday. What are the chances of him having an infection too? I want to know how likely it is that he needs to be treated because I dont want to end up with another one a few weeks from now (seeing as it can be passed back and forth through sex).

At first I thought it was something she ate, but wouldnt it be gone by now?

Then I thought maybe a bit of a bug, but she has no other symptoms and no one else in the house is sick?

What could be the problem?

So far I have

Ride with me - Nelly

Punish Me - Big Pun

Money Aint a Thang- Jermaine Dupri

Yeah- Usher Feat. Lil John / Luda

Eminem

Toy Soldiers

Drug Ballad

Criminal

Lose Yourself

I have a theory and it goes like this, I believe that if trapped in a burning car, as the heat and the flames rise up the feet and legs, when all efforts and ideas of getting out of the car have been exhausted and the realization that agonizingly painful death is absolutely certain.... any individual, no matter how much they dont believe, or how adimately they renouce all religious and spiritual concepts, will cry out to a God of some form or another.

Discuss :)

Ok, so Im getting married on March 5th. I have no desire what so ever to move along with the planning. I love my fiancee an have absolutley no doubts about the commitment itself or our relationship. He is wonderful. Im just feeling really apathetic (I think thats the word Im looking for). I also have a history of depression (especailly seasonal) but I try to avoid going on medication if I can.... and I dont want to be adjusting to new meds during the wedding and honeymoon, especailly since the side effects can be unpredictable and cause unpredictable behaviour.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to get excited again? I dont really even want to talk about the wedding at all.

Hello

Im going on my honeymoon in March to the Caribbean from Toronto (Canada).

Are there any specific shots or medical things I should do and how long in advance do I have to do them?

Thx

My 3 year old has has a cough for a while (has asthma and it is cold season and already been to the doctors for her and she has her puffers) but she has had a runny nose the last few days... again, not too concerned. She is three and in daycare and has a 7 yo. sister so colds this time of year are the norm for us. BUT this morning I went to blow her nose and she had a HUGE amount of dark green snot. I know that certain colours indicate infection but I cant remember if it is bright green/yellow that means infection or dark green. Anyone know?

In the 7 years my daughter has been alive, I have recieved $50 and he bought her a bike (in November when she was three, didnt have a snow suit but he bought her a bike ugh... anyways)

Ive struggled to make it on my own and though I havent always made the best choices Ive landed on my feet and my daughter and I have made it through my growing pains relatively unscathed (I was 20 when I got preg) Anyhow. Her Dad refused to sign her birth certificate but he does aknowledge that she is his. 2 years ago he asked for the 'chance to man up' and I said he could start by writing her a letter and then her and I would write him one back and go from there it introduce him slowly because my ex (the only Dad she did know) had just died and I didnt want to shock her.

Well the letter never showed up. I have messaged him on Facebook and asked his family repeatedly to have him call me and left my number ect. I am getting married in March to the most wonderful partner and father me and my kids could ever hope for. He loves both my girls like they are his own and loves me dispite my past and even loves all my inperfections and craziness... He wants to adopt the girls so that if anything ever happend to me, he would have legal rights to them and I 100% believe that he should have those rights. He has earned them, he's a better Dad than 95% of them out there. SO, Finally here is my dilemma. He never signed the birth certificate and therefore legally the adoption, once he and I are married is pretty standard. But morally, do I still have to give him that final chance to fight to be a father? do I owe that to my daughter. What is in her best intrest? Whats fair? Im super confused.

I love my husband. He listens to me and works with me when something isnt right in our relationship. We forgive each other, we go out of our way to make sure the other one knows how much we love eachother. He helps with the kids and the housework and does all the cooking and grocery shopping (I do 90% of the cleaning so it balances). We both make sure the other one has at least some time with their own friends and we are happy. So again, my question is. Are we the only ones? and does this mean that it wont last? I mean, we've come through some really rough stuff and Im pretty sure that if we keep doing what we have done we will keep having what we've got. Am I wrong?

Im not sure what to do.

I have a friend of mine who has always been kind of a drama queen and alot of our friendship has been based on me helping her either by listening and trying to offer guidance as she is quite a bit younger than me and looks at me like a mentor of sorts (Im 29, shes 20) or physically helping her (going to pick her up somewhere, helping her move AGAIN!) at one point I even had her renting out my basement from me but she couldnt respect the rules for my home and family and was asked to leave.

Anyhow. Ive spent alot of the last two years with her and she has come through for me on a few occasions but for the most part our friendship has been about her. This Saturday was the Jack and Jill or Stag and Doe for me and my fiancee's upcoming wedding. She didnt even show up, or bother to call. I texted her on Thursday and asked if she was coming and she said yes. Anyhow, Im super pissed. This is the ONLY super important thing Ive had like this in the entire time we have been friends and she couldnt be bothered to show up.

Im sort of torn. On one hand Im sick of being a sucker but on the other hand I know how much she depends on me and alot of people have given up and walked away from her (I dont blame them, I see why and have for a long time). I just dont know whether the best course of action is to act with love and forgiveness or to set and stand for my boundaries. I havent said anything to her or texted her or anything and I dont think Im going to.

What are the differences?

I have two daughters and we are thinking of getting a dog for their birthdays, one will be turning 8 and the other will be turning 4.

Does either shed less? or would be less likely to produce an allergic reaction?

Is ether breed better with young kids?

Which requires more excercise?

Etc.

Any info would be helpful.

I am a single mom of 2 kids. I work full time. I want to be a paramedic but the course is not offered on a part time basis. I will need OSAP to help support my family while I am in school. I am currently working and have a previous bankruptcy.

Will I still get OSAP?
