how do i know if i am only under 2 weeks along in pregnancy if i have had a miscarriage?

i have a 7mo old male unaltered westie- he keeps running at and barking at strangers- once they try and pet him hes mostly fine but when my boyfriend and i try and kiss the pup will bite my boyfriends face hard growling and mean-- my boyfriend hits him and tells him no but he hits hard so i freak out when he does. im going to get the dog neutered when i can afford it but until then what do i do?

We have had our share of major ups and downs, hes cheated and lied alot about major things, but hopefully we are past that- after some hardcore breakups and fights and long major talks, but almost 2 years down the line and I love this man, but somehow i dont feel "in love" with him anymore. I could go on about my business and be fine without him- have my own place again (btw i moved out of the bfs and into my dads for now)- do whatever whenever i wanted again- be creative decorate my own place and be all girly and have things clean again, but... i cant see my life without him- but we already have that bond and could not be "just friends". I dont know what to do.

i texted him because we have been trying to be more open with eachother and communicate better- but i hate how im always back and forth on our relationship. anyways this is what i said...

" i need you. i need us. i need something more. whatever we are doing isnt working. its like we were dead to eachother this weekend and i felt like i didnt care either way if we were together or not. i love you but im not in love with you which is crazy because i always want you to be in my life. be my love, my everything. help me. help us. i want to be fun and happy again. to flirt and impress eachother instead of being vulgar and bums, i do it too so im not just criticizing you. i love you and we need to make us special again. be the couple people look at and are jealous of because we are so fantastic together. there is no one else after you. idk what to do or what to say. just love me a lil more."

he is the independent type and lives a town away where he knows everyone and i know not a soul- he likes to leave on a whim and go play with is friends in the garage and drink beer while i stay home with the dog because its a bunch of old dudes and i dont drink, he has kids from a previous relationship with a girl he ended up cheating on me with, and has been married before to another girl and he pined after her while dating me too, which bothers me but i knew he had the previous connections coming into the relationship so i cant turn back and judge against him for it now

but he has been trying lately paying more attention to what i say and actually listening to what i say im feeling instead of just hearing it. hes never been a romantic type and we are broke but like i told him we dont have to have money for you to be sweet and romantic. idk we have just lost the edge and idk if we can ever get it back because sometimes i just feel so indifferent to it all and he has no answers or suggestions to ever help me love him more :(

help! and please dont tell me to leave him- it will be a waste of your time because i really do want to make this relationship work but he and i are both at a loss of words. and my heart aches because i miss "US".

I have already graduated as a dental assistant, but what courses do I take to become a dental office manager? What online school would be the best for this type of schooling?

thanks.

His name is Diego and he is 2yrs old- he is my boyfriends dog but we live together, he got the dog before we met and he has always been an inside dog but he is a 130lb slobbering, shedding, stinky mess. The house constantly wreaks and is filthy. He's a good dog but I'm wanting to make him more of an outside dog- at least during the day and then bring him back in for the evening and night time- plus winters etc.- but he is having severe anxiety with it all- constant barking- trying to climb in the house windows, hopping the fence etc-- i have only had him outside during the day for 2days now (including today) but im hoping training him to stay out there in the day will help with the filthy house-- advice?

Is there a legal way to get visitation rights to a child I give up for adoption (open adoption)?

new guy- has been okay with taking things slow but calls tonight drunk- he's in the military and was upset cause he's ready to settle down in life and have a family with someone but military keeps recruiting him back- anyway he's drunk and we all know how things can get out of hand that way so while he's telling me how amazing I am and beautiful I am he asks if I want proof that he thinks Im so awesome-- im like ok-----and he sends me a pic of his d(ck.---- now i have had the conversation many times how i want to take things slow and sexual stuff for me right now is a complete turn off due to a recent ex and that falling out. umm what do i do? do i accept that drunken mistakes happen or tell him to hit the road and put my foot down so i dont end up going down a long bad path like last time?

So, I just moved in to a large apartment with horrible carpets- the entire place is covered in poop green/gold colors. How am I supposed to decorate with that? Area rugs sound like a good idea but I'm a college kid and broke- not able to afford a huge rug to just cover it all up with. I thought maybe an Indian look (dot on your forehead indian not woo woo indian) but thats just trendy and not exactly something that will stay my style for the next 5 yrs or more I will be here.-- So yeah, any ideas on how I can decorate? including links/pics would be great - thankyou.

so my bf and i are having troubles anyway but part of it is that when we have sex he calls it making love and i tend not to. he is really offended by this. im upset that it hurts his feelings but at the same time my views still havent changed- i feel there are times when we "make love" but for the most part sex to me is just Fing. I grew up in a homelife where other peoples sex was constantly forced into my life, ive had abuse and rape, ive had boyfriends ive loved take advantage of me and completely use me. how do i explain to my current boyfriend why i feel the way i do? he knows about my past. i know it takes time for me to heal and get used to the idea that this new guy really does love me and care about me when we have sex but sometimes i cant tell if hes just using me when hes horny too- i think its all in my head but i dont know how to communicate any of this with him because it hurts him so bad. what do i do? i want to change my views. i want to make love.

I want a diet pill that is not made just for suppressing appetite- because of my job i never eat at specific times and when i do its not always the best meals- i want something that gives me energy and somehow burns off the fat i already have--does this exist? what brand and whats its cost?-- looking for the best results and most cost effective please.

I'm wanting to make an animal website but not sure what all to include-- do you have any ideas? Not sure what kind of site I want it to be or anything but know I want to do something positive with it focusing on animals. thanks in advance.

I've always been depressed- it runs in the family- and have been diagnosed by the doctor- am on Cymbalta, yada yada- but I fear I may be bipolar. I cannot make a decision and stay with it to save my life- I am constantly going back and forth between things- from daily life common stuff to being in a relationship and being happy. Im always going back and forth with my moods- depressed the majority of the time but every once in a while out of the blue ill get like happy over the top like im high kinda good mood- i used to be such a happy person and now its like i have to live my life faking it all the time. any advice?

His divorce left him broke- he is claiming bankruptcy next month, i have good credit but again, no money. We need to move in to a real house. right now he and his great big dog are staying in another town with his mom- cramped in one little room, while i in a separate town am cramped in my efficiency apartment with my cat- my bf is trying to use his tax refund to gain partial custody(wknds, summer, etc) of his two kids-- we all wont fit in this little apartment- my lease is up in june- we dont have money saved up due to medical expenses and unemployment periods- we are both currently PRN, im looking for full time he will be full time in may. are needing a 2-3 bedroom. Again--- what do we do??? we need a home that has a bit of a yard- we can put our own fencing in eventually- but what steps do we take- i know try and apply for loans but idk where to even start...advice?

btw we are in Decatur, IL

So my bf has an ex that keeps calling him all the time- shes obsessed and obviously not over him although he is of her- he and i are meant to be and plan on getting married one day- hes 24 im 21 so this shouldnt be one of those little kid things but the ex is only 19 so yeah, anywho she calls all the time- he never answers, she doesnt leave a voicemail or anything- the other night she called and i got pissed and finally texted her back- she claims he doesnt love me and hes been cheating on me with her blah blah which i know isnt true because he and i are always stuck up eachothers butts and he would never have the time to do so-lol- anyway she would leave us alone- i told him to tell her off next time she calls but he says he doesnt want to mess with it and his solution is to keep ignoring her but thats the problem because i cant- im feeling like an annoyed jealous ***** of a gf- to the point of me even checking his phone and email constantly- he knows- and it bothers him but whats a girl to do?

If you know of any- could you please post links to groups one can join in support of doctor assisted suicide for the terminally ill.

I am a professional in the medical field and am looking to join such a group to help the movement go forward to be passed in every state- any suggestions?

I would like to sell some of my art on ebay- but i would be drawing (pencil, charcoal, pastels) and painting on paper that is from a 18x24 Bienfang spiral pad- would my art be worth anything this way?

What types of paper/canvas would you suggest for each medium?

So I love my boyfriend and I love his dog- the only thing I don't love is all the dog drool- EWW- So recently my boyfriend and his American Bulldog moved into my efficency apartment with me and I knew the dog drooled but its really disgusting- when the dog drinks the entire kitchen floor is covered in backwash, as he walks out of the kitchen about 1/4 of the water is still drooling back out of his mouth as it pours out all over the carpet leaving a trail wherever he goes- the dog is big enough that his sticky drool hangs out and gets all over the furniture as he looks at you- seats, chair arms, people arms and shoulders are always covered in drool gunk. The apartment smells horrendous- we use febreeze, do laundry often, take the dog to the groomers, and leave the window open as much as possible but it still wreaks of dog in here--- any advice? help!

I read a book a long time ago that i absolutely loved but i cant remember the name of it--- the book was about this family that moved into a new house and the kid (main character) finds a dollhouse in the attic- when the kid looks in the windows of the dollhouse the kid sees the lives of different people in different periods of time play out before him and eventually in the book the kid ends up finding a dead girl in his attic from learning clues through the windows in the dollhouse-- anyone remember or even heard of this book?
