  • Feel childish but I'm 24. Please read and give advise.?

    This is hard to admit but lately I have had no motivation or direction. I always want to just call in sick to work but I don't, I somehow get up and go. I've been cashiering since I was 18. I graduated college with my bachelors in Psychology but don't know if I want to do Psychology, since the economy is bad anyway I have just stuck to my cashiering job. I think I may be interested in graduate school but maybe in history or sociology. I have a feeling I will never go back though. Even doing chores at home feels so exhausting and I only work 20-30 hours a week. I feel like a lazy loser, because I don't want to try anymore. I do sometimes feel depressed. I'm married and my marriage is great but sometimes I feel like my husband lectures me like I'm a child and it pisses me off. We have a dog that has a lot of problems and is more than a car payment I love her and try to take good care of her but he acts like I don't take good care of her when I care for her more than him most times. We've been together since I was 17, married since 2008, and I love him and I have an easy life and marriage, yet sometimes I feel like he doesn't give me enough credit with taking care of the house or the dogs, or lectures me like I'm a child. Yes I still feel childish in a lot of ways because just not having direction anymore like what I want to do as a career anymore, sometimes feeling like my part time job and taking care of the house are overwhelming. I actually feel more stressed then when I was working, going to school, cleaning the house and going out more. I feel more stressed being less busy now of days. What's wrong with me? Sometimes I just wish I could go back and live with my mom and have her cook for me and take care of me. It's awful what's wrong with me? My husband is 27 also ready for children, before I got married I kept telling people I would never feel ready for children, that I'm too selfish and don't feel like an adult, and everyone told me oh it will change as you get older you will change your mind, I'm a little more open to it now but I don't know. I told my husband maybe we could get pregnant by the end of next year, I don't know if I am ready to go back to school, become a mom, or what course or direction to take in my life. I am an adult I should be able to make decisions and take direction but lately I just have no effort. Maybe I'm depressed? I shouldn't be, my life is good. I guess its just really confusing because I thought I would have everything planned out and a career by now and so I just feel lost and like a child again- Advise please.How can I make the right decisions? I have accomplished a degree and I work but I thought I'd have more at this age, so I feel less proud of where I'm at but don't know where to go from here.

  • Rawhide or treats for dog on low fat diet?

    My dog is only a year old and a healthy weight but she has a lot of problems, her tear ducts do not function so she has dry eye and had to have surgery on one eye. The specialist wanted me to start her on a low fat/low cholesterol diet because she said a fatty diet is bad for the recovery of her eye, she also said I shouldn't give her treats. Well I have two dogs and I haven't given them treats since her surgery (about 2 months ago), but they are being ansy and its late at night and I don't want to take them out and they have been good so I gave them both a rawhide bone to chew on, is this kind of treat okay on a low fat diet? If not are there treats out there that are okay for this type of diet? I rarely treat them with goodies, and just stick to dry dog food, but its nice to give them a bone to keep them busy sometimes. Any recommendations would be nice.

  • I want to make vacation videos and youtube videos, best software?

    First I would like to make videos of my dogs and vacations, I would like to use various types of media such as video and pictures from my digital camera and camcorder( Insignia NS-DV1080p)

    Second I would like to make a highlight video of one of my favorite fighters; I have all of his fights on DVD and would also like to use YouTube clips, pictures, music, etc.

    I downloaded the trial version of PowerDirector 8 and was sort of successful making a video of my dogs until I tried to clip video from my camcorder, and the program just crashed, apparently it doesn’t work when you try to clip 1080p videos, the files from my both my camera and video camera were .avi files, but it wouldn’t edit the .avi files recorded from my video camera.

    Then I put in one of my DVDs to try to open files from that to make video and it opened stuff but nothing happened when I clicked on it in the media library.

    I don’t know if since I am just testing the trial version it is faulty for me or if its my lack of knowledge on how to do these things, but what can I use that does it all? Uses various types of media to make videos, such as ripping from dvds, can clip video from my video camera, can use youtube videos, etc?

    I’m new to this but would like to create stuff and found on websites everyone recommending PowerDirector 8, but I don’t want to purchase it if it won’t work with my video camera clips and won’t use DVD clips. Is it asking too much to want something that can do everything? Do I need to buy a Mac? Any suggestions on how I can make the type of videos I would like to make with various media would be greatly appreciated!

  • What are the differences in the rights between a civil union and marriage?

    The propositions passed to ban gay marriage (which I disagree on), and others have told me that gay couples can have civil unions and have the same rights as married couples- I suspect that isn't true though. Can someone provide more information on differences (if any) between the rights of a married couple and the rights of a civil union couple?

  • Should I get another dog to keep my dog company?

    I have a dog who just turned a year old. My husband and I have been living with his parents since the dog was a puppy while we have been looking for a house. We are going to move out soon. Our dog is rarely left alone. If we are both gone there are two other dogs and three other adults who are often home. If we are in our own home and both away, I'm afraid my dog will get lonely. I've gotten two different opinions 1. To not bring him into a new home with a new dog because it will be scary and to just let him deal with being alone, the 2nd opinion is that he will be really depressed since he is used to company. Any advice? I think I may try leaving him alone and see how he deals and if he is sad then I can buy another. But anyone else with a very socialized dog know from experience? He is a one year old male Cavalier.
