Kate

My cat is about 7 years old. He has never, ever wanted anything to do with the bathtub or show. Now all of a sudden he jumped in and started licking the water from the tub and wanting me to turn the faucet on. When I did he started drinking from it. He had a full, fresh bowl of water and has never done this before. I'm just concerned this change in his behavior means something is wrong. Should I be concerned?

I've checked in a few places, but can't seem to find anywhere to watch this show online. If you know of anywhere, let me know. Thanks!

Destination wise I am thinking the Caribbean, or Mexico. Somewhere warm where I can lay on a beach and drink fruity things with umbrellas in them. Has anyone booked an all inclusive vacation for a good deal through a particular site? Or have you visited a place that was nice as well as affordable?

I realize there have been a lot of questions regarding the Sims 3 game release. I apologize for yet another.

I've enjoyed playing Sims 2, but am ready for something different. The descriptions of the new game look really interesting, but it looks like it will cost about $50. For those of you who have tried it, is it worth it to switch over?

I have Civilization Revolution, and I love it. I'm almost finished though, having won all the kinds of victories on all difficulty levels. I still have two more achievements but hopefully will get those soon.

Are there any strategy games that are similar to Civ Rev? I've had a lot of fun with it, and prefer it to the action and arcade type games.

My roommate and I were sitting around chatting last night and this came up. I decided she was a M&M cookie, one of my cats was a pecan sandy, the other a chocolate chip cookie, and so on with other friends.

What kind would you be, and why?

I am starting a new job in January, I'll be working for the state government. It is my first "real" job, as in salaried with benefits and not just working part time through school and stuff. Are there specific questions I should as before I start, beyond the obvious such as hours, salary, responsibilities?

I have been working in a restaurant since July. I was just offered a great job working in my field, and I have accepted it. I am planning on leaving work at the restaurant right before Christmas, as I am starting my new job right before the holidays. I am just not sure how to approach it. I want to give them two weeks notice but I am a little nervous they will start doing things like giving me bad sections (tables) etc.

I guess, should I let them know I am leaving right away or wait until it is exactly two weeks or even a little less?

All right, so about three weeks ago I got a kitten. I was told it was a boy and never really bothered checking, I named him Ralphie at that point. Now a couple days ago he was standing on me and I was like...wait a minute! Girl! So I verified it looking at some diagrams online and yep, it's a girl.

She is yellow and white and very rowdy and rambunctious. She pretty much goes completely nuts for a few hours then crashes like the dead. She is in love with my other cat, Pip and prefers him over me. And she will eat anything.

If you have any good ideas for names please let me know.

I would like something a little unique, or at least something not like buttercup or fluffy, you know?

Thanks in advance!

My cat has been trying to cough up a hairball for a couple of days now. He just can't seem to get it up. He can still eat and drink because his bowls are being emptied, but he is coughing and hacking a lot. I've tried giving him a little butter to see if that would slick things up but it hasn't worked.

Does anyone have any tricks or ideas? He is very picky about what he will eat, I had to pretty much force feed him the butter.

As of a couple days ago my computer has been running a lot slower, and I keep getting these pop-ups. Neither of which ever happened previously. I've had my laptop since September and this is the first time I have had any of these problems with it. I have Trend Micro PC-Cillin, and I've run all the scans. The first time it found two viruses, the second time one and I had it get rid of those. I ran the spyware scan and it just came up with different cookies.

Ideas?

Here's the deal. I always hear about guys that like bigger girls, or who don't really focus on weight so much but I have yet to meet one. I have a lot of friends that are bigger or the same size and have dated. I'm 22 for crying out loud and I've never been on a date, or even kissed anyone. I'm smart, funny, well educated, have interesting things to talk about and think I am a good and fun person. I'm also about a size 18. I don't dress skanky, or wear clothes that are too tight. I dress to fit my body.

I know there are a lot of guys that just aren't into bigger girls, understandably. People are attracted to different kind of people. Are there really guys that like bigger girls though? Or don't care? Are some guys attracted to bigger girls, but don't want to get laughed at by their friends? (Since I know a lot of guys like to make fun of fat girls. In my experience anyway.)

And for other overweight girls, what are your experiences in dating? Advice?

Seriously. Just as a part time job. What kind of tips do you usually make, like per hour?
