Any suggestions on moving by car from kansas city to southern Florida with 2 dogs and 3 cats? An RV is not an option. Also I was unable to locate a hotel that will take 5 pets. We have a beagle and a chow.

I went to a podiatrist to have what looked like a callus removed from the bottom of my heel. He advised going under it to see what was causing it via surgery. On 04/17/09 I had it done under a general and ended up with 14 stitches on the inner curve of the heal the callus still there. The pathologists report came back as a 1mm soft tissue mass as unknown. Then it got infected and the stitches came out 3 times in the middle.

I had to reformat my PC a few weeks ago and since then my monitor has not been smooth when scrolling (kind of jumps). My PC is fully updated according to Microsoft. It is an HP and is running XP SP 3.5. I don't know where to look for video card or other info to see if those drivers need to be updated. Spec are AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3500+ 2.20 GHZ 960 MB of Ram.

I have 3 credit cards with one company and want to close the accounts because they hiked my rate for being late 2 times in 2 years (only days late). But if I have to pay balance in full I wont be able to pay all. I just have no clue, I would not think closing the account would actually alter the card holder agreement.

It is getting to the point that I hate my job. Not the job itself but my new "boss" W. I was offered a promotion about 6 months ago and I declined. My best friend W. was offered the promotion and accepted. I expressed to W. and our "big boss" that this was going to be an issue because W. has always been a needy and has the inability to separate work and home and she has LOTS of home issues. 2 weeks ago I almost walked out because W. just went nuts for some reason and just started yelling at me. I asked her why but all she kept saying in "I am not putting up with your #@$&". She also told me repeatedly I was just jealous she got a promotion. I did't enlighten her. I went to HR they said they would take care of it. This whole week W. and our big boss literally did not say one word to me all week. Transferring is not an option.This year I am no longer working because I need the money, and I think that is part of it also. Maybe I am less tolerant than before. What do you think???

I am extremely allergic to nickel and have to keep an EPI pen with me just in case I touch the wrong thing. (Diagnosed 02/01/2008) Last week my dentist called for my regular 6 month cleaning and I advised them of the allergy. I was told at that time they could not accommodate me as a patient. I have called multiple dentists and a dental school and so far no one will accept me for a simple cleaning. They all say the instruments are all metal. What should I do?

Every person I have talked to thinks I am weird because I have never had an alarm clock and I have only been late to work once in 8 years. I dont know what clues my brain gets to wake up but I do no matter what time or how late I stay up I have to no problem. But if I take a nap I wake up very grumpy. My Dr said it is not normal to need an alarm clock but it seems to me if I am one of the only ones that dont need one I am weird. What do you think?
