Jessica A

he s 10 and a half, has a slipped disc at the top of his neck which prevents him from cleaning his genitals, when I let him out he runs around for 5 minutes and then lies down for the rest of the day, he s drinking a heap of water, even after being on antibiotics for a UTI

I can t make the decision, I love him so dearly and he s my best little buddy, I ve had him since I was 11 , but I m house sitting for a woman for 5 weeks, and I was going to take him with me since he needs daily medical care but I think it would be so unfair on him to have to sit in a pet carrier all the time( they have rabbit eating dogs so letting the rabbit out is not an option. If I did take him I think it d just make his arthritis and sore hocks a lot worse

For people who say I m playing God if I put him down, I m pretty sure God would ve let him get eaten by a wild dog or cat if he was in the wild, before he got to the age of 10.5 years

My boyfriend and I have been together for 8 months , about a month after I started giving im oral sex ( not actual sex),and swallowing his ejaculate, I had an std screening done.

It came back completely clean from stds but since then we've started having unprotected sex(am on the pill and use the pull out method)

He's been with 3 girls unprotected before we started dating, what's the chances of me not catching an std from him through oral sex but catching one from normal sex??

I try not to let it but it does my head in so badly!! I just feel so inadequate and I know that I'm not good in bed even though I'm trying so hard.

I had a condition called vaginismus , which is where the 'hole'would not expand what so ever, I couldn't even use tampons, they'd just crush up, 4 months into our relationship, the condition finally subsided and we have sex all the time now

We decided to use a sex calculator app to keep a record of how much sex we have because I needed to see if we have sex too much. We've had sex 34 times in two weeks.... And in all the time that we've been having sex, he's never made me orgasm

The guy I'm seeing came out of a 3 year on and off relationship 6 weeks ago

He says that the relationship would've only been a few months in total but it was over a 3 year period

He's kissed a lot of girls so I'm guessing this was during the breaks in his relationship , which to me indicates he rebounds( he's only 19) hasn't had that much time to kiss a heap of girls beforehand lol

We started seeing eachother about 2 weeks ago and we've just clicked , we have common interests and he's very caring and fun. He was a real gentlemen and says he wants to stick around, I've asked if I'm a rebound and he's said I'm not but I've told him I wanna give things a little more time before we're officially going out

Things have kinda fast forwarded in the sex department but we haven't had sex and I've told him I wanna slow down and I've been given permission to slap him if he gets too horny lol

What should I do??

Reasons he may

- loves to spoil me even though I say no to anything he wants to buy me

Just paid for my return flights to his state for his 21st birthday

-Gets all cuddly n clingy when he's drunk and were alone

-We got a little dirty n before we did anything he kept asking me a million times if I wanted to stop n also didn't ask or pressure me into anything

After his party we carried him into his room, he wanted everyone to leave except me n just wanted to spoon lol( he was heavily drunk)

Calls me 3-4 times a week

This morning before his mum took me to the airport he held me down in bed and cuddled me until I made him let go

Reasons he may not

- I felt ignored all day before his 21st party , he was hung over and just sat there playing ps3 until his friends arrived, he then went off with them

At his party he kinda ignored me but not as much during the day

He's explained that he likes that we can be great friends and tell each other anything n do dirty things but it doesn't mean it will lead to a relationship

I hate feeling so confused

We talk on the phone a few times a week and have this incredible friemdship, but we're strictly just friends n have made that clear with each other

We barely see each other because he lives with a circus, he's almost 21 and I'm 20

I really want to get him something meaningful but don't want it to seem girlfriendish

I was thinking a metal shot glass that ill get engraved? And some cologne

I'm flying to another state to see him for his birthday, so I don't wanna get him something crappy.

Ok so for those of you who don't know, there's over 90 bush fires burning in nsw at the moment, hundreds of houses have been lost , people have been evacuated etc.

My house which usually doesn't need to have any lights on during the day because of sky lights and huge windows , was pitch black at 2pm, and outside the atmosphere was a red tinge

I have an aviary full of finches ,who are very flighty and delicate , yesterday due to all the smoke ( we had a huge fire about a kilometre away) when my finches tried to fly yesterday all they could do was flutter to the ground , my poor babies were choking on the smoke and ash , some were able to fly up onto a perch and others not

Catching and moving them into another cage is completely out of the question because their cardio vascular system was already under a heap of stress and panicking like that would only cause them to drop dead

Please guys if you have any suggestions it would be great , I can't put a cover over the aviary because its about 35 degrees , they'll cook

It was so heart breaking to see them panic and struggle :(

I've been friends with this girl since we were 13( 20 yr olds now) and until last year we were good friends,

Last year she got a full time job and a bf n now it's like I don't exist to her, I've tried and tried and tried to rebuild our friendship n I've talked to her about this n she agrees but she just doesn't put in any effort n i understand that she's busy n stuff but why should I be the one made to feel like **** when I'm trying?

Should I bother? Or just not message her any more

I do a 20 minute full body work out on a cross trainer 4 times a week

I walk my dog for 45min-1 hour daily

And do 50-100 leg ups n 60-120 sit ups a day

I eat about 1400 calories a day, is that too little or too much? I'm 57kg n 170cm tall

She's at the vet now and he's given her medication and she's picked up a bit but he's not sure what its from, any guesses??

He said her lungs sound very harsh too :( my poor baby

Until I was around 13, I was a strong believer in god ( im baptised a catholic) and I liked going to church , but as I got older I guess my views changed due to my mind being opened so much more to the real world and so I questioned my faith so mic that I basically became atheist

I'm now 20 and feel that it's too late to try and regain a relationship with god and that he will think that I'm only praying to him so that I benefit from it, but I don't mean it that way

Is just talking to him each night a good way to start? I just want guidance to help me become a better person and to have a close an individual relationship with god

On Easter Sunday I managed to end up with a 16-17 year old alexandrine parrot that spent its life in a small cage and ate only sunflower seeds

Here are her signs of sickness

- feather plucked around her abdomen to the point where it's permanently bald and has quite a few feather cysts, some feathers have burst through them though , she's stopped feather plucking since I got her

- she's VERY underweight , as in when u stretch her wing out you could swear that the bones in her wing are on the outside of the skin

- her skins quite dry and flaky

Since I got her ive switched her onto a vegetable and small parrot seed diet , she's also got a vitamin, mineral and amino acid supplement in her water( dw I kno you have to change it very often to avoid bacterial over growth)

I give her dried fruit , pasta, egg , plain chicken etc but she only eats vegetables and fruits mostly

The only improvements I've seen in the last two months that ive had her is shinier feathers and feather regrowth, I don't think she's plucking anymore

Any advice / tips on what else I could do for her?! There's no avian vets around her n the vets Iv spoken to have said to just keep doing what I'm doing and to talk to other bird enthusiasts

I'm 19 , 171cm tall(5 ft 7) and 59kg

I do 25 min jogging , 30 leg ups , 15 squats , and 8-10 minutes of other cardio stuff.

Or I go to the gym and do 30min on the tredmill at 6.5 - 8.5 km an hour

Then do arm / back / shoulder exercises

My main goal is to get rid of my belly fat and increase muscle everywhere, what machines at gyms work your abs?

I eat about 1400 calories a day

I'm a 20 year old female

I rescued a 16 year old alexandrine parrot that'd been fed sunflower seeds all her life

When I got her she didn't look tooooo bad except for the fact that she feather plucks

I can't get her to a vet at the moment , iv just had to spend $1000's on fixing my car - so at the moment I have no money or car

I hadn't realised how terribly skinny she is until I grabbed her and handled her.... Her breast bone is sticking right out and when you open her wing you can fully see the bone

She has white growths the size of millet seeds on her back too

So far I've taken her off sunflower seeds, and given her fruit and vegetables, dried fruit and nuts, small parrot mix( sunflower seeds removed) and I've added a vitamin , mineral and amino acid supplement to its water( yes I understand the dangers of using this in terms of bacterial infestation - I'm changing the water often )

Please, help me :(

I just rescued a 16 year old female alexandrine parrot from living in a small cage and only being fed sunflower seed, with no toys and no flight space

No I'm not going to put her down , and no I can't afford to take her to the vet for at least 2 weeks

She feather plucks, her legs are bald and so are underneith her wings

She looks skinny

So far all I've done is put her in my aviary, given her veggies and added a vitamin, mineral and amino acid supplement to her water. I'm going to slowly wean her off the sunflower seeds

I know ive already asked this question but i forgot to add some important info

my rabbits almost 9 years old , hes got arthritis , a problem with his urinary tract where he gets urinary sludge seems blind and deaf and also had heart failure due to an accident a while ago

Last year he got pastuerella ( snuffles ) which then after weeks of antibiotics, became dormant and was carried in his blood stream

The other day I found a big lump under his chin, took him straight to the vet and the vet said it was a pastuerella abscess , which is an abscess caused by tissue that's been damaged and then being attacked by the pastuerella bacteria in his blood, the pus in the abscess is extremely thick and gritty, the vet couldn't extract any pus when he tried

He said that antibiotics won't fix the pro blem by themselves and that surgery will probably be needed, which my rabbit is basically too old for , and the vet says that once my rabbit damages more tissue somewhere else, an abscess will most likely form again

So do I

1. Give him his course of antibiotics along with cuddles every day and plenty of treats and then put him to sleep if the antibiotics don't work

Or put him thru surgery which means he'll be in a room with barking dogs all morning, have the abscess removed and run the risk of him not waking up, or waking up, being in pain and probably getting another abscess
