Don't know what to say to my mom when she says "I love you,"?
Because I honestly don't love her. Before you get all uppity about it, keep in mind you don't know her; this woman has put cigarettes and alcohol before food and water for her children. I am still loyal to her for changing my diaper as an infant and taking care of me, but I don't love her. She's kind of an awful human being.
8 AnswersFamily8 years agoHow to become an editor? (in literature)?
I've always been an avid reader; moreover, as I got older, I've loved to dissect the meanings and subtleties of books. I've loved writing for a while now, and I'm no novice to proofreading and editing my own works. How could I become an editor, aside from the bachelors degree? What sort of classes in college would I need to take, and what would be recommended as a form of supplemental education? What exactly does the editing process entail? Is it more correcting spelling and grammar, or correcting word choice and sentence structure? Do you have to work your way up in a publishing company?
1 AnswerHigher Education (University +)8 years agoHow can I prevent my cat from getting worms?
She is being treated for feline tapeworm and I want to know about keeping her worm free in the future, I hate seeing her sick. She is an indoor/outdoor cat, and people say that this is probably why she got them. I know it wasn't fleas, because for some reason she never seems to get fleas; regardless, I bathe her regularly with flea/tick/mite shampoo to keep her safe, and comb her with a flea comb every other day; I've only ever found one or two though, and never any eggs. Is there any natural, non-pill ways to keep her from getting worms again? I heard a little garlic once a month prevents them in cats, but I'm not so sure, and I'd rather get some confirmation on that before acting. Before anyone says that I need to just keep my cat indoors, there's no way. She was supposed to be an indoor cat, but from the time I got her, she always has snuck outside whenever she can. Eventually, I realized she always came back within a reasonable amount of time, so I just decided to let her hang out outside. It makes her so happy, and muscular too. After being outside she seemed healthier; better fur, skin, eyes, and muscle tone. So I really want to find a way to keep her worm free without banning her from the outside world.
7 AnswersCats8 years agoMy cat drank from my glass and I drank after her.....?
And my cat has tapeworms. What is the possibility I also have tapeworms? How can I know for sure? To be clear, I didn't drink from the glass knowingly; my sister, being the genius of the family, mentioned it after I'd taken a sip. I only had literally one sip, but could that infect me?
3 AnswersOther - General Health Care8 years agoHow long will it take for my cat to get rid of tapeworms?
So my mom bought me the wrong medication to get rid of my cats worms; she bought roundworm medication instead of tapeworm medication. She's had them for a while now and I was wondering why they seemed to die off but never completely. After going to a professional and having them confirm my suspicions, I was able to ascertain my cat had tapeworms instead of round. I've bought a medication for her, how long will it take her to get rid of them? Should I bathe my cat more often? She doesn't have fleas, and I know all about the risks of having them transmit eggs. What is the chance I could get them too? Is it okay to pet/kiss my cat, or would that transmit them?
1 AnswerCats8 years agoCan you get paid to be a cat socializer?
If not, what are some other careers involving cats/animals that don't require much college? Less than 3 years of college training/certification would be preferable.
2 AnswersCats8 years agoMy boyfriend turned down me giving him oral while he played video games?
He had expressed to me in the past that this was something he wanted to try. So I offered, and he responded, "Yeah, maybe later,". I feel that was a really dismissive kind of a response; and it was like he assumed I would be available for him later, like he thinks I'm his sausage sucker on demand or something. He doesn't frequently turn down sex but he does put video games before me all the time. Were in a long distance relationship, and when I come to visit, 90% of the time he just looks at memes and plays video games. I understand, because I do those things too; but I make time to make him happy. It's not like he's a huge douche; he tells me he loves me and whatnot, but he just doesn't pay attention to me that much and its really getting to me.

2 AnswersInjuries8 years agoRelationship issue, please read below?
My long-term boyfriend told me that he wouldn't marry someone unless they went to college/ got some sort of career training, that way his partner would at least have a back-up plan; he also doesn't want to be the only breadwinner of the house. He said if I didn't go to some sort of college at least he just wouldn't marry me. He said it would be the same for any one, but that just seems more depressing; like I'm just like every other girl to him. He said that if we ever got in an argument and he was the only a job, he'd tell me to screw off because everything in the house would be his. He tells me he loves me, but you want proof sometimes. I want to live a life with someone, to marry and love, and i want something more material then just an "I love you," which could easily just be a lie. Or a half- truth. Marriage is about love, and to think that someone would put anything else before it is horrendous. I don't know what to do, I'm so depressed now. How should I handle this?
4 AnswersMarriage & Divorce8 years agoVery irregular period, please read?
I bled for 7 days, and so far for the past 4 days, i've bled once randomly throughout the day. It's really pissing me off because I keep thinking its finally over and then it isn't. Why is this? I haven't done anything different or lost weight or anything. I'm worried it could be something more serious.

2 AnswersOther - Education8 years agoMy cat ran off! What do I do?
She always tries to run off as soon as anyone opens the door, but normally if we don't catch her, she comes home in about an hour. She got out at 11 AM, and its now 8 PM. I've tried tapping on a metal can of cat food with a spoon (which is how I normally let her know its food time) shaking a container of catnip and treats, and calling her name. I've searched the neighborhood and looked thoroughly, but I can't find her! What should I do? How do I get her to come home?
2 AnswersCats8 years agoRelationship peril? Please read below!?
Anyways, lately my partner and I are having issues. We've been dating for over two years, and I recently moved 1,000 miles away from him. Lately he never calls or texts me; what should I do? I feel ignored. I knew a long distance relationship would be hard, but it wouldn't be if he would just pay attention to me. We hardly talk, and when we do I have to initiate the conversation, sand he usually just ends up leaving early anyways. He says he doesn't have time, but he has plenty of time to play video games and f*** around on the internet it seems. What should I do? How do I get him to understand that this is a serious issue?
