My 2 year old golden retriever has always had light pink skin but over the last few months I have noticed that the skin on her "armpits" and the sides of her belly have turned very dark under her fur. At first I just though she was dirty since we had been doing a lot of hiking (and she had been doing a lot of exploring rivers and mud and holes) But a bath and a good brushing later and it's the same and now I see there are even a few white speckles on the sides of her belly. There is no odor and it is not irritated at all. Is it normal for a dogs skin to change color?

I think I have found a mushroom in my carpet and I would like some help identifying it before I call the landlord. Mostly I want to make sure it is a mushroom. It is very small, which makes it hard for me to be sure what I am looking at. It is very hard and seems to have a very thick stalk the top has multi-colored rings that are bluish in the center and pinkish on the edges. it is stuck fast to my carpet and the carpet immediately around it has turned pink. I have never heard of a hard mushroom before so I am a little thrown off. I figure it must have appeared in the last day or so, though I am not sure when I last paid attention to that particular corner. If anyone knows anything about this or can help me identify it I would really really appreciate it.

DANIEL'S PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

Thanks so much,till i read from you

Mr Fred Daniel

I am a college student and in the past year I have suffered from undiagnosed/ untreated depression. This has severely impacted my grades and now I no longer qualify for financial aid. In a few weeks I am supposed to go back to school but I have not yet told my parents that I have no idea how I am going to pay for it. I also have never told them about my depression or thoughts of suicide. Obviously, I have to tell them. But I am terrified. My parents can be quite harsh and up until now I have always been the "successful" child. I am not looking forward to this. Does anyone have any tips on talking to them without passing out or being sick or blubbering the whole time or fighting? Thanks for any advice.

My little brother lives in Georgia while my parents and I live in California. My brother got married this morning. it was a last minute thing, They just decided a few days ago to do it at the courthouse but when my brother told some of our extended family there about it they put together a really sweet, simple little ceremony for him. My dad happened to be in town taking care of some business and was able to perform the ceremony, but my mom and I were not able to go. We looked at plane tickets as soon as we found out but even the cheapest one we could find was way more than we could afford.

I am extremely upset about missing the wedding (even though I don't like my new sister in law that much) and I know my mom is probably even more upset about it. I feel like I should do something. Does anyone have any ideas for a way I could send them something or put something together so that A. My brother and his bride know we miss them and were thinking of them and B. My mom can maybe feel like she was part of the wedding in some way? I know the wedding is over...but surely there is something?

Went for a hike today and afterwards found a loose tick on my clothes. I *destroyed* it but now I am paranoid that there is one somewhere on me that I can't find. I don't have anyone around to help me look. Does anyone know of a way to dislodge or kill ticks that you can't find? Like a super hot shower or eating something?

This morning I noticed a small puddle of antifreeze under my car, when I checked under the hood, the coolant level was low, I happened to have some on hand and filled it up to the line, then I had to drive about fifty miles to get home, the whole time my temperature gauge stayed in the normal range. I have been home a few hours and just went out to check. I cant see any coolant under the car but the level is low again. I am flat broke and can't go and get any more coolant or get the radiator looked at until I get my next paycheck. Can I still drive to work and home tomorrow? Its about 35 miles. What about putting water in it?

In the original "The Manchurian Candidate" what was Lt. Shaw's' costume? a cowboy?

I am making a cross-country road trip and thought it would be fun to stay in Las Vegas for a night since it is on the route and I have never been there and I need some advice on a fairly inexpensive hotel to stay in. I would prefer to stay on the strip or very close since thats supposed to be part of the Vegas experience right? But I also don't want to find myself in a bad situation or very much regretting the choice. The reviews on every hotel I have looked at are very ambivalent. Any advice from people who have been to Vegas would be fantastic. Thanks!

I am purchasing a new laptop and I am wondering if it is worth it to upgrade to a blu ray player when it might just be replaced in a few years by a new device or downloadable media. What are your thoughts?

I am replacing my old laptop and am a little overwhelmed by all the options. So, I am hoping someone can give me some good recommendations. I am a university student looking for something for less than $1000. I am not a gamer, and I do not want a mac. I would like something speedy and moderately portable. My old laptop weighs almost 12 pounds so anything lighter will seem amazing to me. I would prefer 4GB RAM, at least 2.3 G Hz processor,320 GB hard disk drive and a webcam is essential. Basically, I want something that is a good value and hopefully will survive through grad school. any advice on brands or series's is very much appreciated.

So, I have a lot of spare time on my hands this summer and am looking for some good reading. Fiction and non-fiction are both welcome, but I would prefer things that I am likely to find at one of the local libraries (but I will purchase a book if it promises to be particularly worthwhile). Just to give you an idea of what I like...some of my favorite books/ authors are CS Lewis, Charlotte Bronte, Robin Mckinley, Harry Potter, and The Omnivores Dilemma. I am very interested in Anthropology, Christian Apologetics and anything that makes me think or I can just get lost in. Your suggestions are very much appreciated :)

I have Hartz dog shampoo and I am just wondering if it is safe to use on my cat. The active ingredients are Pyrethrins, Piperonyl butoxide, and N-octyl bicycloheptene dicarboximide.

Thanks!!

I know it something to do with kids...

Where I grew in Texas, the tradition of the homecoming mum was a big deal, how did this tradition begin and why is it only found in a few states?

What is the movie that Wall-E enjoys watching? It looks like Meet Me in St. Louis, but I'm not sure. Thanks!

I'm trying to find the book, but I can't remember the title nor the author. I'm pretty sure there is something about 'fire' or a relation in the title... like: The Fire starter's Daughter or The Firemaker's Daughter. But I'm not really sure. She had to grow up in a society where they had to mine coal. I am 100% sure about that! And she was oppressed by the higher society. And she had like a quota of buckets to fill with coal everyday. I do remember that there were a lot of love interests in the book and you weren't quite sure who she was gonna end up with. Apparently she had magical qualities or really good skills that her town had to send her to the king. She lived in a tent. Um... she was an orphan. I think. She might have lived with her dad. I don't know! Please help me. I know this isn't a lot of information.

Thanks. A LOT.
