  • How hard is it to litter train a kitten?

    I had these 2 kittens adopt my house about 2 months ago. I started feeding them outside. My landlord saw them and told us that we had to get rid of them. I have grown attached to the kittens and my husband wants me to bring them inside instead of take them to the shelter. I would love to do this but I am not sure how to go about potty training them. since they were outside cats to begin with, should i just let them out throughout the day or will they just take to a litter box?

  • Do you lose the extra skin when you lose weight?

    I am starting to lose weight. Because of my weight gain, my skin has stretched. Now that I am losing weight, I am afraid the extra skin will just be hanging there. I am 27 years old, so I believe that my skin still has elasticity and will go away with the weight, but I am afraid it my not. What are some good ways I can exercise to tighten my skin as I lose weight?

  • Is my weight loss plan going to work?

    I decided about 3 months ago that I needed to lose weight. I cut out all soda and started eating smaller heathier portions. I was walking about a mile if not 2 each day. I had to cut out the walking due to work schedules and how dark it gets at night now. I feel a whole lot better and can see a small difference in how my clothes fit me. I refuse to step on a scale and have no intention to in the near future.

    I have 2 friends at work that is trying to lose weight also. It is great to be able to talk about our plans and how we are doing so far. One of my friends is really big on no carbs. But he has a few days of the week that he goes all out and doesnt worry about what he is eating. He says he is losing weight and doing good. My other friend is counting calories and carbs. Everytime we have lunch together, all she does is criticize me for eating to many calories and carbs.

    I don't want to get stuck looking at the box for calories and carbs because by then I don't feel like eating. I have changed the way I used to eat and have started in a excercise plan I can do at home during the cold season. I feel like I am doing good, but get so discouraged when I talk with my friends.

    Also I would like to join a gym after the first of the year because then I won't have to worry about the weather or time of the day. Both of these friends tell me not to join a gym, because if I am not out exercising now, I won't stick to it in a gym.

    I am not out excercising now because it is freaking cold out and to dark out. And being a woman, I don't like to walk alone at night. I could walk during my lunch break at work, but that means I will go back to work sweaty and I can't do that. Joining a gym means I can go anytime and have help with a nutrionists and a trainer so I know what I need to work on.

    So any advice would be helpful!

  • I met a new man....?

    I have been with this one guy for 9 years, during this time he cheated on me, knocked me around, and treated me bad. I have since stopped taking the abuse and didn't care that he cheated. I started looking for someone else. I found a really nice guy that lives an hour away from me. He wants me to move in with him and he would take care of me. The problem is, my ex broke up with the girl he was cheating on me with, now he wants to make it work with us. I would love for that to happen but I know he will eventually cheat again when he finds another girl. Also, this new guy is telling me how I can move in and he will give me an allowance each month so I can have money, we just met and he already telling me he loves me and asking to move in, I have no family or friends in his area. i am afraid that he might be controlling. Or it may be that I am looking for something because I have been abused before. Please let me know what you think.

  • Advice on what to do with my niece.?

    I have been keeping my niece for about 4 months now. My sister is in jail for something stupid she did and not sure when she will get out. My niece's father doesn't help because he has a gf with 5 kids. I can't get any help from the local Social Services because they say I make to much money. They don't take in account that I have a car payment with insurance, gas to drive to work, and food. Just my rent and electric bills. I have been thinking of calling DSS and seeing if they can place my niece in foster care until my sister gets out of jail. It is getting hard for me to raise her and give her what she needs. Please any advice would be helpful.

  • How do I let this guy know I am really interested?

    I met this guy at work, we were both interested at first, until he found my age. I am 26 years old and he is 45 years old. By Ex boyfriend is 41. I only see age as a number. I am very mature for my age, I don't act like a 26 year old. I moved out of my parents home at 16 and have been on my own ever since. i grew up fast. I don't have wild parties, I don't drink, smoke or do drugs. I work a full time job and pay bills. I just wanted someone I could be with. And have fun with. How can I get through to him, or is it a lost cause?
