I recently purchased a 60 gallon, fresh water fish tank. I added the required amount of API Tap Water Conditioner (Super Strength) & let it cycle for 24 hours. I then added the required amount of Tetra SafeStartPLUS (to allow the immediate addition of fish). I then let it go through 24 hours and then went and got 4 neon tetras and 4 male guppies. The first morning we woke up and the smallest tetra had passed away. Everyone else looked fine. Second day we lost a guppy. Third day we lost another guppy in the morning and one in the evening. Today is day 4. We have 3 neon tetras and one guppy now. Today I noticed a tiny, miniscule white spot on a tetra and after visiting the fish store, bought API liquid super ick cure & added the correct amount (I didn't separate fish because I am pretty sure the last guppy died from ICH, I seen him gasping for air at the top like he couldn't breathe and a few seconds later he was dead). I tested my water before adding ICH treatment. Tested as follows:

NO3: 0

NO2: 0

PH: 7.5

KH: 120

GH: 180

(I used API 5 in 1 test).

Everything looks great, PH in caution zone but not in danger zone.

My question(s): My guppy seems extremely lonely since the last guppy passed yesterday. He stays in the opposite corner from the tetras and just seems sad. Before the other guppies died he swam with them all over the tank. Can I purchase more guppies tonight since I just started ICH treatment and put in new guppies during ICH treatment?

I have been searching for a job for over 2 months, last Monday I was called and asked to come into an interview at a restaurant for a server position. Tuesday afternoon I had my interview and I was hired on the spot. The manager told me to get my Alcohol Card and Health card (required by law in NV) ASAP as orientation would be within 7 days and I couldn't be put on the schedule until I got those. Tuesday night (5/6) she called me and said she had e-mailed me all my paperwork through the website I applied on and to fill it out. It was a W2 and I filled everything out Tuesday night and got my cards by Thursday. Today (5/13) I called the restaurant since I hadn't heard anything to find out exactly when orientation was and was told the woman who hired me no longer works there. I spoke to another manager and he had no idea who I was or that I had been hired. He said he was going to try to get a hold of the woman who hired me and would call me back ASAP. So do I have a job or not? I filled out paperwork and did everything required by law to work there. I have turned down another job offer and denied other interviews that I have since been called for since last week, as I was told I had a job and filled everything out. Legally do I have a job there or should I continue to go on interviews? Thanks.

My boyfriend & I are going to Cancun in January (2014) for 4 days/4 nights. We wanted to go longer but just couldn't afford much more. Anyway, we are staying at an all inclusive. What are some MUST DOs while we are there? One day we decided to go to the ruins in Tulum. That gives us 3 other days. We both like pretty much everything (from laying on the beach to hiking all day), we aren't picky. So, what would you say are must do's while in Cancun? For sure we will be doing the ruins, I have also considered snorkeling, zip-lining, a day dedicated just to purely relaxing on the beach, etc. Thanks!!

What is the most romantic place for a young couple to celebrate their anniversary in the Pittsburgh area? We are not from there is area, but are in this area and will be during our anniversary. Looking for somewhere romantic, not generally family oriented (more quiet, couple type place), where we can have a quiet, romantic, intimate dinner. Not looking for a particular type of food, somewhere that preferably has a good wine and champagne selection. Thanks.

I have been to the city a couple of times (we recently moved to NJ), and the subway system has always been okay for me to use. Tonight my boyfriend and I will be driving into the city from New Jersey, parking at Pier 40 (Hudson River) and then going from there to the Barclay Center in Brooklyn. We will be on a time crunch since he was to work until 5:30 tonight, driving there will put us there about 7:00, so I am trying to map out the best way to get there before we leave.

1) Is there somewhere we can park the truck in New Jersey and then get into New York via subway? The toll for his truck is $30.00 to go through the tunnel.

2) What is the best route (via subway) to get to the Barclay Center?

3) If we need to park in the city (if there is no where in Jersey), is there a better option than Pier 40? We always use it because it is close and easy to access.

Our only vehicle is his big work truck, and driving through the city and finding park for it is very tough.

Thank you!

- Please no links. I have been on them but figured I would ask people who knew this better then me. Thanks again :)

First, I am not looking for any criticism (I know some people on here are very cruel), I am just looking for an honest answer from other women. Sorry in advance if it's long... First some background info: My boyfriend and I have been together over 5 years now (known one another for 7) and have a wonderful relationship. I am 23, he is 27. He has a wonderful, steady, job and I do not work (as we travel all over the U.S. for his job and move quite frequently). We own a trailer, we each own a vehicle and have a decent savings account. We have zero debt. For about two years I have desperately wanted a child but he has wanted to wait (I am on birth control as well). I think about having a child everyday, I cry every month when I get my period (even though we are not trying AT ALL), I watch baby stories on TV, read baby/pregnancy books, look at stuff almost daily about babies/pregnancy/children/ etc... My boyfriend knows my urges to have a child but he wants to wait another two years or so. I am perfectly fine waiting (so far) even though I think about it everyday. Then I'll think "What if I was pregnant?" and think how I have always dreamed of going to Europe and if I had a baby that wouldn't happen (We went to Mexico last year and I cried leaving my dog behind..)so I always tell myself after Europe I will definitely be ready (One reason my boyfriend wants to wait, he wants to travel more). I know some of you will say if we had a child we could travel with them etc, but I don't know about that. My question is it normal to have such a urge to have a child? Is it normal to think about it so much? Some days I feel like a crazy women! I asked this somewhere else and people kept telling me to get married first, we're happy where we are, please don't criticize me. Sorry this was so long..

Thanks.

Question about places to eat in Las Vegas... first some background information.

My boyfriend and I are both from right outside Vegas and are huge foodies. We have eaten at some of the best places across the country (Miami, New York, L.A., etc) but have always taken advantage of Vegas, never really eating anywhere nice or famous or anything! I'm looking a place to eat in Vegas that's DELICIOUS in your opinion. Money isn't a factor, I don't care if it's one star or 5, I just want to know where you've eaten that you think is great. We're going to celebrate our anniversary in Vegas next month and we'd like to have a nice dinner.

Also, opinions on hotels? We've stayed at Luxor, Excalibur, NYNY, etc. This time we'd like to stay somewhere nice (Bellagio, Venetian, something like it, keep in mind our anniversary and I want something romatic-ish, he doesn't care LOL). If you've stayed anywhere nice, please let me know too!

I know, it's ridiculous, we have been to Las Vegas literally 100's of times but always stay cheap and just get drunk :) Please don't send me links or anything, I want person opinion and experience. Thanks.

My dog has been working on a bone for a LONG time (months). Tonight it just barely broke in half. One half was a bunch of empty bubble spaces and the other half looked DISGUSTING. In the porous areas it was black & looked spongy. He is absolutely loving it & won't let me take it to take another look at it...what exactly is this stuff? Is it the marrow? My boyfriend said it's probably rotten and is going to make him sick?! Please tell me what you know, I can't find anything online.

I have a 8 month old (as of July 30th) terrier mix. I rescued him in January & have made a appointment for him to be neutered tomorrow. He does not mark his territory, he is friendly at the dog park (sometimes scared at first) and to other dogs. He loves kids of all ages, he plays with anyone and anything (even cats!) and he likes everyone. He has never ran off, he is an inside dog. We go for walks often and he has never tried to mount a female nor wandered looking for one in heat... My question is, I want to get him neutered because I do NOT want him to contribute to the animal over population BUT I do not want his personality to change. The vet assured me it wouldn't. I want to hear personal stories. I don't want links or the pros & cons, I know them. I want to know:

When you got your male fixed, did his personality change? Did he gain weight (without change in exercise or diet)? Was he more or less playful or the same? Please! I am really considering canceling my appointment because I am so nervous altering him will alter his personality! He is very smart, knows almost every trick there is, listens well, not bragging but he is practically the perfect dog :)

Thanks!

I know there is no "magic" number of money to have to be prepared to have a baby but I am curious how much money did you have in your bank account when you got pregnant? Did you have any debt, if so, how much? My boyfriend and I have been together almost four years now (known each six) and don't want to have kids for another 3-4 years. We'd like to have $20,000.00 (minimum) in the bank before we start trying to conceive. We also plan on having no debt (we currently have zero debt. Everything is paid off.) I'm just curious [: Thanks.

I am 5'4" and 21 years old. I recently lost close to 40 pounds (my highest weight was 186 and I am currently steady at 150). I haven't been this slim in a long time & don't want to say an exact number I want to get to, I just want to feel good about myself and be healthier. I am thinking 130-135 is a good number for my body frame and shape. My question is, if I eat 1200 calories a day (fish, chicken, no soda, lots of veggies, fruit, healthy stuff) and walk 5 miles 3 days a week and the other 4 days a week walk 30 minutes to an hour, will I be able to get to 130-135 & in how long? I drink plenty of water, I have already cut out sugar and carbs (this is how I lost the 36 LBS) but wasn't really as physically active as I should have been. Do you think this is a good plan? I also do crunches, lunges & push-ups in my home, I know that I only need to do them everyother day to give my body a rest etc....

Thanks

I have one credit card that I am trying to increase my limit on, I have never made a late payment, I have never gone over my limit, sometimes I pay it off all in one month, sometimes I pay 1/2 or 1/3 of the balance. I have had this card for two years and they won't increase my limit. I have a high credit score (mid 700s), I bring in $50,000.00 to $75,000.00 a year. I don't understand? I have applied for multiply credit cards (not just trying to increase my limit) and no one will approve me. Can anyone explain this to me? Thanks.

My boyfriend and I want to travel overseas (Italy/Greece) and are interested in doing a guided tour. I was looking at goheadtours and some of the reviews were good but the bad ones put me off. For example one women said they canceled her trip twice due to it not being full enough. We can only travel one time of the year and if I book something it better not be canceled! If anyone knows of a good company to book with, please let me know. Or if you have traveled with goahead, tell me your experience. Our budget is $5,000.00 but we don't want to go over $3,000.00 or so, if possible. The one I was looking into was $3,100.00 and included flights, rooming and about 1/4 the meals and most of the entrance fees. This is the type of thing I want, I would like to book it all at once and not stress about it anymore.

The time of year we'll be able to travel is between Feb-April (With his line of work, it depends but right around that time). Also, if you have been to Italy or Greece, please tell me your opinions, we'd love to see both but will probably have to pick one over the other (some tours do both places..)

Thank you!

I have the opportunity to watch two children six days a week for 60 hours a week. I am cpr certified, nannied for a year plus have many references and have babysat kids of all ages. What is an appropriate rate to charge per week? I will be feeding them breakfast, lunch and sometimes dinner. I want a set rate so I don't have to figure out cost of food etc every week. What would you expect to pay or charge?

I also will be watching them at my home, if that matters.

I am curious as to the amount of leave others get in different countries (I don't think it varies state wide but I could be wrong). I have heard in Australia they get something like $5,000 dollars (U.S. equivalent). And I read Canada mothers get one year of leave. If you have any information as to length of leave or money given to the mom after giving birth, I'd love to hear it. Doesn't matter what part of the world, I'm just curious [:

Thanks.

I've asked this once before, but no one answered. I am planning to visit Key West for my 21st birthday Friday August 27th through Sunday August 29th with my boyfriend for both our birthdays (mine is Monday, his is Wednesday). I'm wondering how crowded is it then, what things can we do, how is the night life, I'd love to go snorkeling, hiking, deep sea fishing maybe (I know that's all day and we're taking such a short trip).. relax on the beach etc... I'm not looking for a huge party for my 21st, I've had a fake I.D. and I've been there done that! LOL. Anything you might think helpful, let me know please! Thanks!!

I know everyone views beauty differently and everyone is beautiful in their own way, but I've heard the saying that the prettier the women the lower her self esteem. Her self esteem being lowered because she is so pretty men are to afraid to go up to her type of thing, causing her to feel badly about herself.

I wonder if this is true sometimes because I've had friends and family tell me how pretty I am, even my boyfriend (that's a given LOL) and I've always thought I was ok, nothing better then average. When I go out anywhere people always look at me and I wonder if it's because I'm pretty or ugly. At clubs/bars men never offer to buy me drinks (without my b/f present). This last weekend I was in Vegas with 3 girlfriends, we went to two clubs, multiply bars and not one guy offered me a drink or even hit on me, but I noticed a lot of guys looking at me. I hope I don't sound cocky, I'm far from it. But my self esteem is going down because the only people who ever compliment me are people I know.

What do you think, do you think beautiful women have lower self esteem then average or less then average women?

Have you noticed anything like this? Just thought it was interesting.

So, I was watching some late night TV about a week ago and I noticed the In-n-out sign in the back ground. It was in the episode of Roseanne where Dan admits he has feelings for a women in California and Roseanne is driving around upset and the sign is in the back ground, and they "live" in Lanford, Illinois.

Last night I was watching The Nanny, a episode titled "Shopaholic" from 1995 and at the very end where Mr.Sheffield is looking for her and she is in the department store sitting down she has a In-N-out cup, and they "live" in New York.

Then, in a episode of SpongeBob where a guy comes in to order and says "You forgot the pickles!" and Spongebob starts forgetting how to do everything, the guy orders a "4x4 animal style", which is a In-N-out burger.

=) I just thought this was interesting how a west coast food chain has made it's way into 3 shows (that I have noticed) anyone else got any?

I know this question has already been asked and I have tried the answers other users have given but it won't work. When I try to play the game a Runtime Error comes up saying abnormal program termination.

The answer to fix this problem states: Please rename your original <RCT3.exe> (located in the folder C:\PROGRAM FILES\ATARI\ROLLERCOASTER TYCOON? 3) to <RCT3.old>. Then, click on the link below or copy and paste it into your web browser. This will open a blank webpage and a File Download window. From the File Download window click Open, extract the new <RCT3.exe> into the original's folder and re-start the application.

The link for the new file is:

http://www.securom.com/support/custo...020bl/rct3....

Only problem is,I cannot find anything that says RCT3.exe!!! If someone can please, please, please help me, I'd be very happy! I have been messing with it for about two hours! I believe I start by right clicking the start menu and going to 'explore'. If someone could walk me through... Thanks!

My best friend of about 5-6 years is having an affair on her husband (they've been together 4 years, married almost three). They have a two year old child. The man she is seeing is also married with a child. I don't approve of her actions and she knows this, but I feel I can no longer associate myself with her. I also feel like telling her husband, even though him and I aren't friends, only through her. But if my spouse was cheating on me, I would want someone to let me know.

What do you think? Could you stay friends with her and would you tell her husband or no?
