Tom's Mom

Just wondering. I personally think it should be classified with "Astrology" & other nonsense.

Okay, I have pretty much worn my hair the same way my whole life - long or very long. When I was a little girl it was pretty curly & thick, then used to pin-curl it myself all through high school. As I have aged, it has thinned & straightened significantly. I have always just put it in a bun for workouts & daytime wear (since high school). Anyway, I do not really like wearing it long anymore because it is thin & limp, but have had more than one person who loves me tell me the buns make me look like an old lady. Soooo, I am considering cutting it shortish (maybe #2, #16, #17, #19, #23, on the first page below OR #6 on the second page OR #2 on the 3rd page). Another complication: my face is practically a perfect circle, so that is a challenge. All advice appreciated. Thanks!

I have an albino female cory that is about 6 y/o. For the last 2 days she has been sort of laying 1/2 on her side on the bottom of the tank for long periods. She also seems bloated. Usually when she lays eggs, she is very active, so if she is getting ready to lay, something MUST be wrong. If not, does anyone have any other ideas what could be wrong? I will probably not be able to get her to a vet now until Monday, so any help is greatly appreciated.

The other fish (all corys) in the tank seem fine, so I am at a loss.

I can't find an adoption category, so I hope someone here can help us. Has anyone had any experience legally adopting as an American citizen directly from a foreign country using an attorney or agency in that country, finalizing the adoption in the child's country of birth without involving private U.S. agencies (beyond having a homestudy by a licensed person). I know celebs do this. I'm sure it costs a bundle, but it would be worth it to actually be able to adopt children who need adopting without dealing with these persnickety US agencies that demand you "re-finalize" your adoption in the US (even though the State Dept. has no such requirement). Never even mind the US Social Services agencies. I've seen them in action & they are less qualified to determine legal parentage than most toddlers themselves!
