We will be adopting a puppy this weekend. Lab mix, I m familiar with males but not females. My kids want the girl but I m not so sure. both have been sterilized. I ve heard female labs are more like a cat. Play cuddle pet, on their own time whereas males are interested in affection, play and such when ever you want to and then some. My question is, will girl dogs want to be with you and cuddle as much as the boys and does this taper off over time? I ve also heard girl puppies are more destructive, pushy and moody. Anyone with experience in this? Tia!

Being a stay at home mom of 3, I gained tons of weight. I am now on a low calorie diet. I go to the gym 6 days a week. I do hiit on the exercize bike for anywhere between 30 and 60 minutes. 30 minutes, the bike says I burned 200 calories. At 60 minutes, it s just over 400. It does not allow me to enter my age or weight.

When I do an Internet search, the online calculators that take into account your gender, age, height, weight and speed, that says I burned 800 ish calories.

I m just wondering which is correct. I do not add calories based on this number I d just like to know because burning double what I m thinking I am, will be more motivation to push through longer everyday.

im 36 weeks pregnant and today my midwife decided i may i have pre eclampsia because my blood pressure was 120/80. I have not experienced any swelling, my urine tests have never detected protein. No headaches, vision problems, dizziness or anything else. My health has been perfect before and during pregnancy. I don't smoke or drink anything other than water. I eat healthy and exercise. My weight gain is about a pound a week. My friend thinks shes just trying to rack up a medical bill. Now i have to do a 24 hour urine collection and blood work to follow. I think this is uncalled for. Can anyone justify this for me?

I lost 115 pounds 5 years ago with diet and exercise. in 2005-2007 i gained 50 back because i slacked off. Since feb of this year i have been going to the gym 6 days a week doing cardio for 45 minutes per day and some muscle training a few days a week. Since ive been going to the gym i havent lost any weight but i havent gained any either. My clothing still fits the same.. the only weight that has come off is in my face neck and arms. I weigh 193 pounds and the fat in my midsection, butt and upper legs refuse to go away.

My diet consists of 2 hard boiled egg whites or plain unsweetened oatmeal for breakfast, a plain turkey lunch meat sandwich on light whole grain bread for lunch and baked chicken or fish with veggies (usually green beans) for dinner.Snacks consist of plain nonfat yogurt, and nuts of some sort on occasion. I dont eat red meat, I dont eat butter,oil, or sweets, i dont drink pop or anything with sugar in it.Not even juice or coffee. I drink bottled water all day. a gallon to be exact. When i have milk its unsweetened soy.

Im at my wits end. My diet is boring but at least im not getting any heavier.Even my dr said im eating fine. ive calculated and i get about 1100-1500 calories a day. The only suggestion she could give is to exercise more.

Can anyone please give me some advice on this??

I installed a new celing light fixture in my dinning room 2 weeks ago and it worked perfectly. It is hooked up to a dimmer switch that only operates that light.

This evening when the light was on and had been for ten minutes or so, it went off by itself, and the switch was still in the on position. There was no sound when it went off, it just went off and wont come back on.

The light has 5 standard light bulbs, all of which were also new. Not on light will come on. The breaker didnt trip but i did turn it off then on again to make sure. The switch felt a little warm and had since i moved in 2 months ago but didnt think anything of it.

Is this more than likely a case of a defective switch, defective light fixture or bad connection at the light itself ?
