My fiance was asked to be in his sister's wedding this October. He is going to be a groomsman. The bride says I am not invited unless the relationship of her family and me is fixed, as she is not having any drama at her "happy day". His family has been really upset with me since a few weeks before he and I got engaged in May. He has tried talking to them and I even called them up to try and get together and talk to them, but no luck. I really haven't done anything wrong and really want to fix what has been going on. I have already had to miss one wedding, 3 birthdays, and 3 dinners hosted by his family because I am not allowed or welcome in their presence or to their homes. It is his twin sister's wedding and I don't want him to miss it, but at the same time I feel like he should stand up for me and basically tell his family that if I am not welcome to come than neither is he. Am I wrong? What should I do? I badly want to fix this and I really want to go to his sister's wedding, as we were good friends and I have been supportive and everything ever since she met her fiance. I just don't know what to do.

My fiance and I have been waiting to have sex. I am a virgin, while he is not. I know it has been at least 2 years since he hasn't had sex. We have been together a little over a year now. A while back, before we got engaged, he said he wanted to wait because I wanted to wait. Well, we aren't getting married for 2 more years and I am getting anxious. How do I bring it up? He hasn't even seen me naked yet, but that's probably because I am self-conscious and don't want him to see my "chubs". People tell me he will love me anyways, but how do I get over that?

I have not had sex yet, not even oral. I have these little, shall I say pistules, or small bumps on my vaginal lips and around my vagina. When I squeeze one, white sebum comes out. What causes this and how can I make it go away?

My boyfriend's cousin is getting married in September. We are invited to go. I am 18 and a bit on the chubby side. I weigh about 200 pounds, but am losing weight in the process. I am about 5 ' 7" and white. I want to look cute, but not overdressed or not dressy enough. My boyfriend is a groomsmen, so he will be wearing a black tuxedo. Any real advice would be much appreciated! Oh, and could you get me some names of places to get these outfits from? I live in MN.

Me and this neighbor guy/family friend have been hanging out together constantly. He is 21 and I am 18. We are inseperable. We were just friends and everyone kept asking us if we were dating. As of yesterday, he told people we were dating. We have known each other now a little over a month, but just over a couple of weeks have we been doing things together. He hasn't tried to kiss me yet or hug me. I don't want to be the one to make the first move. What should I do or should i just wait longer? I guess it is kinda obvious we are a couple, since I made him lunch today and brought it to his work and I am always spending time with him and his family. there are so many things that i don't have enough room to write down on here! one difference, that sort of makes me uneasy, is that he has been with other women and I am virgin. please give me some good advice!

We are building a new barn and arena. We board approximately 10 horses. Our new facility needs to have an indoor riding arena, 10 stalls, tack room, feed room, bathroom, office, wash stall, and loft. We want our stalls to be 12x12 or 14x14. One needs to be a foaling/isolation stall, so it will need to be bigger than the normal stalls. The office needs to be upstairs as part of the loft( so I can view over the whole property). How big should the barn be and how big should the indoor arena be and should they be connected together?

I want to start an equine business. I currently own a business that has to do with boarding. My name is Sara. I want to offer: grooming, horse sitting, barn cleaning, etc. These services won't be at my place, but I will be traveling to other people's places. so it is mobile & traveling. i want it to be catchy, but not silly. My current thoughts are something like: Sara's Equine Services.... please, only serious thoughts. i don't want any responses that are like: i don't know, sarah's horse stuff..that doesn't really answer! thanks!

I sent in a settlement letter to some collection agencies to resolve some unpaid returned checks. I want to pay them, they are little amounts, under $50. I got a package today in the mail and now it says that each one is over $120. they added on interest and "other fees" on top of the returned check fee and original check amount. can they do that? if not, how do i respond?

I work at a veterinary hospital and one of my coworkers started up our local animal shelter about 12 years ago. Our animal shelter only currently does small animals. But, I am sure they would help out if a large animal was in need. I love horses and am currently in school for veterinary technician. I have experience in bringing horses back to health, as I rescued 2. How do I go about asking my coworker if she was interested in getting a bigger place to help horses too? The president of the animal shelter is someone else, how do i go about asking her? I know they are trying to get money raised and they are asking for help from the county to get a bigger piece of property and a bigger land to exercise the animals.

My family and I have a farming background and we are trying to get back into the farming business again. We hear about these subsidies paid to farms/farmers each year, how do I go about getting into that? Also, where can I go to get possible grants/loans to start a farm?

I have had one credit card for about 8 months now and have always kept in paid in full and paid on time. In the beginning of December, last week in November, I applied for a few more credit cards: Macy's, Target, Capital One, Menards. All of those I have now. After I got those I applied for a few more, without thinking of the inquiries I was piling up. I actually applied for about 5 more to be exact and all were denied as a reason " too many recent inquiries". Anyways, how long should I wait before I apply for anymore? I need to get a credit card that has a bigger limit. The cards I have now go from $200-$1800 limits. I just checked my credit report and scores from all 3 bureaus and my scores range from 642-665. I have one bad thing on there from a previous savings account that closed because of checks I cashed from my employer. I quit, as they were bouncing my paychecks and that has been on my credit report since 2003.

I am going to school to be a veterinary technician. I love horses, dogs, and cats. How do I make more money, besides my main career? I have experience with horses and other animals, as I own/have owned/boarded some. Vet technicians only make about $15000-$31000/year and I want to be making double or triple that. Any ideas?

I have had this one credit card for about 7 or 8 months. I am building my credit, so this was the first card I ever had. The credit limit has been and started out at $200, I have always paid it in full and owe no balance. But, it is costing me $6 a month just to have it and they won't increase my credit limit for another 6 months. Is this credit card worth keeping? I have other credit cards now and they have much bigger credit limits and I get rewards and stuff.

Help these horses! They are UNHANDLED, but HEALTHY & in GOOD SHAPE!

One of my horses, she is a mare and is 20 years old, has been having these cow-pie-like stools. Sometimes she coughs when she is eating, but I haven't noticed anything else wrong with her and she doesn't cough more than 5 times a day, she doesn't even cough everyday. I got her in May of 2007, so I have had her for about 5 months. She has always had this problem and I don't know what is wrong with her. I feed her the normal amound of Nutrena Senior feed along with a grass mixture of hay and alfalfa. I de-worm her regularly and she is up-to-date on her vaccinations. What is causing this and is there anything I can do to stop it or make it better?

I have 2 senior horses, and whenever they raise their neck or lift up their feet to have them picked out, I hear little snapping and cracking noises. I need to find a good joint supplement that will take those noises away and cushion their joints and reduce their pain ( i think they have arthritis) along with inflammation or anything that associates with joint problems. I need an all-in-one supplement. It must be worth the money, but not expensive, as I have two of them. I am currently just using a glucosomine powder but that doesn't seem to do anything. Their food has to be wet to form a mash, so it must be something that can be mixed in. I am looking at the Absorbine flex, the senior flex and that one liquid form supplement. Are there any others and what are the pros and cons of each along with how long it will last.

I just bought a new farm that has 26.5 acres. Currently there is barbed wire and the corners consist of really thick railroad-type ties. I live in Central Minnesota, around the st.cloud area. I have about 8 horses and a couple of cows. I want to redo all of the fencing. Where can I get the best, yet most economical fencing at? I had on my old farm, 1 & 1/2 inch electric poly tape with wood fence posts and t-posts. I now have 5 barns, but I am only going to be utilizing 2 for my horses. They are located around the house. If anyone has any suggestions or whatever , let me know! I could use any tips !

I have been feeding my 2 senior horses Nutrena Senior Feed, not the John Lyon signature brand. It is $14.49/bag at my local feed store and i go through 1 to 1 & 1/2 bags a week. It is getting pretty costly. Is there other brands that are just as good for senior horses that won't make them have digestive problems? It also must be able to get wetted down, because I have to make it into a bran mash as they have choke syndrome. The reason I have been using Nutrena Senior so long is because it has rice bran and beet pulp in it, and as far as I know, no other senior feed does that. If it helps in your research, i live in minnesota, so please don't give me a name of something that is only available in massachusetts or whatever state you live in! THanks!

I have been looking in to buying and using some joint supplements for my 2 senior horses in their 20s. In the SmartPackEquine magazine, they have SeniorFlex especiall for senior horses, but I am not sure if it is the right thing. I feed my horses Nutrena Senior feed, Lifestyles brand not the John Lyons brand. I heard that if there are certain minerals or vitamins in their feed, you shouldn't get a supplement that has one or all of those same vitamins as it can overload their system, is this true? Lately I have been hearing little cracks when the walk and they don't want to lift up their feet anymore because I think it is painful or something, but sometimes they do. Could someone tell me what I should do or use?

I have a 25, soon to be , 26 year old thoroughbred gelding. I was reading in the Equus magazine, an ad from Emerald Valley, that they have a liquid-form supplement that contains chasteberry , it is called Evitex. It is to treat pituary glands and hormonal problems. Anyways, when I got this horse, he was 25 (i have only had him for about 3-4 months), the lady said they suspect he has some cushings disease, but it hasn't developed into it yet. His coat isn't curly, but more of a long hair. It is august first tomorrow and he still has some of his winter coat. Has anyone used this and do you think it would help me horse? Evitex has gained an outstanding reputation as the natural and effective solution to pituitary issues and hormonal related health and behavior problems of horses through the potent effect of Evitex™ on the pituitary gland.
