Has anybody tried to figure out which animals to breed to help them get through challenges quickly? For example, an "above average" cat that breeds 2 but takes 300 days to give birth on top of the amount of time it took to conceive... whereas an "average" animal that takes 150 to give birth and less time to concieve BUT only delivers one at a time. I have tons of Gila Monsters but they take longer... is it worth the wait. I hope that this makes sense!

My current challenge is to breed at least 250 animals. I have bred 225.

I live in a little subdivision within city limits. The house behind me has a rooster (no hens, just one rooster). That thing crows 24/7, I've lived here for 2 and a half years and am just sick and tired of this. I cannot sleep at night (it's right outside my bedroom window) and I cannot take a nap during the day because of it's constant crowing. My doctor even prescribed sleeping aids. The rooster was in my yard the other day so I called animal control. They came and told the owner that he had to keep his rooster pinned up and move it 300 feet from my yard. He did but that doesn't make it any more quiet. It's still directly behind my bedroom window crowing 24/7! What do you think I should do? What is causing this rooster to crow SO much? My parents had roosters when I was growing up but I cannot remember them being so noisy.

PS.. It really gets bad now that a man down the street also has a rooster. One rooster will crow and the other will crow immediately after wards! It's like a crowing battle.

I want to have a suprise party for my mom. I saw some really cute "over the hill" decorations and I want to make that the theme of her party but I want to make sure it's appropriate. She'll be 60.

Is there a certain age milestone to throw an "over the hill" party???

We are planning a trip to Disney World this year. We will be there on Easter and I am wondering if they have anything special... egg hunt, Easter bunny, etc.

Also any other tips for taking a 2 1/2 year old to Disney would also be appreciated. Do the parks offer a "quiet" area for naps? I haven't been to DW since 2003 when my daughter was 1 1/2. That was easy because she'd just fall asleep in the stroller. My son does not like strollers, lol.

Every time that I try to open a folder, for instance pictures, instead of just opening the folder my computer takes me to a "search". It hasn't always done this, but I can't remember when it started. It drives me crazy because I always have to right click to get into things instead of just simply double-clicking. Please help me fix this problem... and I'm not a computer person so please walk me through it step by step without using too much computer-talk. Thanks!

I cannot remove this game "Winnie the Pooh Toddler" version 1.0 from my computer. It says it's taking up over 3,000 MB. It hasn't been played in over two years and I can't find the disc it came with. When I do click on the "change/remove" button nothing happens, it just kind of flashes quickly. If anybody has a suggestion please let me know.

I'm having a cowboy/girl themed party for my child this weekend. I want to find some good (child-appropriate) county/western/party songs to play. Please let me know what you think.

I cannot hear out of my right ear. I hear crackling when I swallow. I have no other symptoms. This all started yesterday when I woke up. Can someone tell me what they think this is or what I can do to treat it? PLEASE This is really annoying (not painful though).

I am a foster "parent" for a kitten. I picked her up today. I have to give her medicine for about a week and then take her back to the spca. The medicine is Viralys. I did not even ask the director what the medication was prescribed for. She knows that I have children, a cat and a dog. So I don't think she'd give me the cat if it was contagious. I've looked up this med and it says it's for feline herpes. If anybody knows about this disease please let me know if it is contagious. I want to help them by treating this cat but if it is going to infect my cat then it isn't worth it! My cat is outside on the sun porch right now so he hasn't even been in contact with the kitten.

I know there is red, green, yellow, purple, blue and orange. But what are the other two colors?

I just bought 5 pairs of Weebok boots at a Goodwill store. I was wondering if anybody knows how to tell if they are real Weeboks. They seem like they are really good quality. I just hope I didn't buy some fake boots though. Maybe someone could tell me where they put the size inside the shoe. Or send me a picture. They are soft suede boots. I bought 4 different colors. I have a picture if it helps.

I just picked a million green beans from my garden and have no idea how to cook them. I really like how they taste at the Cracker Barrel and other restaraunts. Please tell me your recipe! And remember they are fresh not canned or frozen.

I am wondering how to color accent a digital photo. For example, a picture that is black and white that will have one thing in color (eyes, hat, shirt, etc). I love the way they do it at portrait studios but it is so expensive. Is there any software that I can download or purchase? And if so, what is the price range.
