What does it mean when a cat rolls on its back?
Okay, so over the winter I saw this mangy stray cat wandering by the alley near my building, so coaxed him to follow me upstairs to my apartment. I didn't have cat food or anything since I don't have any other pets, so all I could give him was some water. He stayed for a while and he even let me pet him but after a while he headed back to the door and started pawing at it, so I lead him back downstairs and he went on his way. I didn't see him again after that anywhere in my neighborhood so I figured he was either taken by animal control or dead. But yesterday I happened to spot him in the alley on the other side of the street. I walked over slow because I wasn't sure if it was him, and if it was, if he would remember me. When I approached he did this weird rolling move where he went on his back sorta like how a dog does. I wasn't sure what to do, but I did let him back in my house of course. I was just wondering what it means, like if he was happy. I took at as him showing me that he remembered me, but that's probably not what it really means. Anybody know?
4 AnswersCats8 years agoCare to explain what Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram and Facebook are?
Obviously this question sounds a bit odd coming from a 17-year-old girl seeing as most would assume I use all of these social media sights. But, I'm not really sure what the point is. Take Twitter for example. I just don't see what's so cool about snapping selfies, pictures of what I'm having for dinner and quoting other people. Maybe it's just me. It's just hard though because evryone at school is telling me to get make Twitter and Instagram accounts, and when I say I don't even know how Facebook works they look at me like I'm from another planet. Oh, and I'm just gonna add that I'm not from America, I only came here a few years ago, but I'm not sure that makes much difference because other countries have social media too.
So, if anyone cares to just explain exactly what these sights to me. also, please don't call me stupid even though I do feel kinda stupid being behind on the trends. Thanks
3 AnswersFacebook8 years agoRap song with Jamaican hook?
I'm not sure if it's a new song or and older song, I only caught the end of it on the radio the other night. There's a girl rapper that does a verse before a Jamaican guy comes in with the hook. I'm not too sure as far as lyrics go, but he repeats it over and over as the music fades out. I was trying to guess, and the girl rapper had sort of a Lil Kim sound while the Jamaican guy sorta sounded like Shaggy - I searched and found nothing with either artist. Any idea what song this could be, because I'm at a complete loss.
3 AnswersRap and Hip-Hop8 years agoTarget "Toyland" commercial song?
It's the one with the little girl that's looking through Christmas presents and crawls through the box and everything is made out of toys. She's on a crayon bridge and books are flying around her.
The song is sung by a woman and it goes like, "Dreaming out loud. Nothin's gonna stop me now, it's the little things."
1 AnswerLyrics8 years agoCan "Stacker" diet pills cause shakiness and paranoia?
I'm really scared. I know these pills aren't recommended for people under 18. I'm 15, so I'm sure that probably has something to do with it. I took a couple pills last night around dinner time and I'm still up at 4 in the morning. I can't fall asleep. I've been pacing my room for hours, and I feel dizzy like my upper body's swaying. I'm really paranoid too. Please, if somneone's tried these pills before can you tell me if this is normal or at least when these side effects will go away? I'm literally crying because I don't know if I need to go to the hospital but I don't want to wake my mom up.
2 AnswersMental Health9 years agoChase Sapphire commercial song?
It's a guy taking his family New York City. The little girl gets a knit hat and falls asleep on the train. Sorry I didn't catch any lyrics of the song playing in the background, but i was wondering if anyone knew.
1 AnswerOther - Music9 years agoMusic video on VH1 with a sea monster? What song is it?
I don't remember any helpful lyrics, all I can remember is the music video. It's like animated or stop motion and they're scuba diving in the water and this huge sea monster grabs one of the guys so another guy shoots the sea monster and it explodes. I'm nt sure what the rest of the music video is because I only caught it for the last 30 seconds or so. I just seen it on Vh1 Jumpstart early this morning, so I'm guessing it's a newer song. Does anyone have any idea?
1 AnswerRock and Pop9 years agoWhat is this 90's song (indie-rock, acoustic guitar)?
I remember this song from when I was really young and heard it on the radio yesterday for the first time in years. It's a guy singing a slow song with an acoustic guitar. The song might be called "A few honest word" or "these last few words", something with "words" in it, though I'm not positive. I know this description is really vague, but I haven't heard this song in years and I was too young to really remember the lyrics. Thanks.
1 AnswerOther - Music9 years agoShould I turn to prostitution to take care of my family (long story)?
I don't need sympathy, only straight answers.
I'm a 17 year old girl. My mom is a single parent trying to raise me and my mentally disabled 18 year old brother. We are very, very poor. This summer has been terrible on my family. We've been evicted from our apartment for too many late rents, I've started stealing food from numerous stores just to help my mom feed my brother. And then, this f*cking economy is making matters worse in finding a real job. I've been thinking about selling myself for a while now but it wasn't until this week that THREE grown men on three different occasions came up to me to "negotiate a price". One of these times I was even with my mom and she said nothing to discourage it.
I'm not a whore by any standard, in fact I'm a virgin. I just need to take care of my disabled brother. Any suggestions or feedback would be really appreciated. Bless you all.
11 AnswersOther - Family & Relationships9 years agoWhat could be wrong with my little sister (seizures... drugs possibly)?
My little sister is 17. I haven't seen her in a while ( I just came back home from school) and she's lost a lot of weight (25 lbs or so since Christmas break). I was eating lunch with her the other day, and noticed her hands were shaking as she held her fork, but I didn't say anything. Then today, we were driving to the supermarket and her whole body was trembling in the passenger seat and her eyes got really big and spacey. Also, I've been home for only a few days and I haven't seen her sleep yet.
I've always looked after my sister (Mom has some drug issues herself), so I'm not sure if maybe my sister possibly could be starting. Or, if it might be some sort of seizure. Not sure what it could be or what to do, I'm not her dad or a doctor, just her 22 year old big brother. This kid is my life, so any suggestions and support would be awesome.
2 AnswersOther - Health9 years agoIs it possible to be gaining weight yet look thinner than before?
I'm a 17 yr old girl. I've started running a few days a week and I walk everyday. Obviously at 17, I don't live on gluten-free, wheatgrass smoothies, but I also don't live on pizza and Mcdonalds either.(pasta and rice and beans are a cheat for me), and I'm at a target weight for my age/ height.
Anyway, my question is that I've gained some weight in the past few weeks. I don't need to lose any weight, it's just that two people within the past 2 weeks actually said I look thinner, which I don't get if I gained weight.
Is it like muscle or something from running, or fat being replaced with muscle? I'm not sure, what do you guys think?
3 AnswersDiet & Fitness9 years agoEclipse 4GB MP3 player keeps turning off (not sure if anybody even owns one)?
whenever I turn the thing on, it shows the 'Eclipde' logo and blinks on and off. I'm not sure why it's doing this. At first I though maybe the batteries dying, so I plugged it in and loaded it, and when it was fully loaded I tried it again and it still kept blinking, turning itself on and off. I'm not even sure if anybody owns one of these peice of s*** mp3 players, but if you do, can you help.
Thanks
1 AnswerMusic & Music Players9 years agoIs my little sister using "uppers"?
My little sister just turned 17 in April. Being 17, she's obviously moody and rebelious. But over the past few months she's went from just normal teenage angst and sleeping late to completely manic. I just came home from school last weekend after not seeing her since Christmas. She's lost about 30 pounds and she has these big dark bags under her eyes. I've only been home for a week, but I've yet to see her sleep. I caught her pacing back and forth in the living room at 2 am last night. And mom doesn't seem to care (drugs run in the family).
My little sister is my life. I'm her big brother and only 22, but I've always had to look after her as if she were my own kid. Like I said, drugs are a big problem in my family. What should I do to help her?
2 AnswersFamily9 years agoWhat do they say about girls with naturally black hair (hair stereotypes)?
Blondes are said to be bubbly and a bit ditzy.
Brunettes are usually smart and down-to-earth.
Red heads are supposedly fiery and oversexed.
What about girls with black hair?
Oh, and when I say black hair, I don't mean dyed black. So don't say "goth" or "emo" . I figured maybe "exotic" or something. What are your thoughts?
2 AnswersHair9 years agoVegeterian no-carb foods?
I'm a vegetearian currently trying to lose weight. I know vegeterians tend t have lower blood pressure, and I'm doing good. But then I hear about all this carb business. Beans and legumes have carb, and carbs make you fat. But then people tell you that eating red meat isn't the healthiest thing. It's frustrating because i don't eat meat but basically every plant has carbs. Could you just name some fruits and veggies low in carbs. Thanks so much.
