My ultrasound tech seemed kind of uncomfortable and told me to make an appointment with the doctor, but he won't be in for weeks. Is a FL/BPD of 66.05 a possible indicator of a problem?

I find that I'd rather people liked me for who I am, so I rarely dress nicely when I go to church or school because when I do, people that otherwise ignore me try to be my friends and it bothers me. I dress nicely at home and in the general public where I don't know most people, and people who see me there see a different person. But I *want* to look nice, I just don't want to have to be rude to the people who I'm frankly not interested in being friends with because they weren't nice to me until I put on something "pretty".

Nothing is coming clean since I got soft water. I'm going completely, totally nuts.

I am going crazy trying to get my laundry to come clean. I have soft water and use pure soap but can't figure out the right amount despite a lot of troubleshooting. The natural water is far too hard to stop using. My washing machine is one of those stupid things that determines the water level for you, so I often open the lid once it has finished filling to get it to clean the clothes better, but I still can't figure out what to use.

I have lost interest in spending time with my two boys, 6 and 4. Is it because I'm unexpectedly pregnant and need to push them a little farther out of the nest?

My friend mated her dog to mine, and although my dog can be registered with the AKC, I have not done so yet. If the litter is born before my dog's registration has been processed, can she still register her litter once my dog is registered? (Her dog is registered)

They said they had checked with my insurance before doing a crown but they had not. Now they want me to foot the bill for what insurance didn't cover, when they are the ones who lied about checking in the first place. What do I do? I can't just not pay, they can send a collections company after me, and I can't do anything. What do you suggest?

They said that they had checked with my insurance before they did the procedure, but it turns out that they did not, and now they want hundreds of dollars to cover what the insurance did not pay, when they themselves told me it would be. What should I do?

Other than being infertile, is it possible to have a lifetime of sex without ever getting pregnant? Have you managed to have regular sex for many years without ever getting pregnant at all? Were you on birth control when you got pregnant? Did you have an IUD that kept you from being pregnant if not?

The point of this is to figure out what methods (if any) of birth control ACTUALLY WORK 100% for anyone. I want to understand if sex can really be casual for anyone or if it will usually eventually result in pregnancy for most women.

No tug-of-war

No wrestling (it encourages aggression)

Don't let them mouth (put their sharp little teeth) on your skin or clothes

Various experts advise you to not play with your puppy in these ways. What, then, are the appropriate ways to play with puppy?

My puppy is an 8-week old Miniature Schnauzer

That's it. Now answer.

I'm 37 weeks along, and my doctor just told me yesterday that the baby is engaged VERY deep in my pelvis. Walking is horribly difficult of course, but will this mean a faster labor? I forgot to ask him and don't want to wait till next week for some idea.

I forgot to ask the doctor today if my utter exhaustion is normal. Most of the time it is hard to just get up and walk. Does this sound like an iron deficiency, or normal late pregnancy?

My five-year old son tends to rip up things that aren't made exactly the way he wants them, or to destroy toys that aren't exactly what he wants. How do I teach a 5-yr old the concept of gratitude and being happy with what we have?

She is just assuming that she is invited.

I let her come to the delivery of our other baby, but she has become even more difficult and rude and insulting since then. She is not a reasonable person, and I generally try to avoid sharing anything personal with her and am just cordial and respectful in her presence. I "love" her, but I don't really *like* her.

I wouldn't mind if she came to the delivery if she would apologize for her general behavior towards me, but she's not a reasonable person and I don't relish the idea of bringing it up with her.

What advice do you have for me?

Would it be a good way to send a message, or the wrong thing to do? How else should I get the message across that I'm frustrated with his game play?

I do NOT want an abortion *AT ALL*, but I am curious.
