    Q. I need dog boots that will stay on?


    The ones that work the best go up to the dogs elbow and tie over it. That way its impossible for them to come off. I also found some neat shoes at the dollar store believe it or not, and they have stretchy Velcro, but in the end they come off. Like I said the only real solution is ones that tie above the dog`s elbow.

    Q. Should i stay or go, so confused!?
    so a friend owns a bar and was having her birthday party at the bar two weeks ago, i told my husband we should go, and he said okay all i need to do it change my shirt well it was 5:30pm and i did not want to go until around 7:30pm, so he got mad at me and told me to leave so i left when i got home around 8pm he had went to the bar without me, so i went down there about 12:30am to see if he needed a ride home, well i saw him getting into a car with a "girlfriend" of mine (no longer) and i called him, which he turned off his cell phone. so finally i got in touch with her and asked her where she took my husband she said no where, she did see him at the bar then i said i saw you leave together, then she says oh yeah i dropped him off at so and so's house. well after about an hour i found out they were all together at the same party. (she is fat and wears a wig and is not his type) so he calls me at 8am and says we need to talk, he walks home and when he gets home he is crying and begging me and apologizing to me for all the things he has ever done wrong in our marriage and can't believe we are still together (i had all of his stuff boxed up by now) after all the sh*t he has done to me. at this point i am not sure if i want to go another 20yrs of his bs, why do we women put up with this sh*t? what would you do? thanks for all your answers and very few critical, i have decided to have him move out and make his mind up if he wants me, change, if not move on without me. i am not getting any younger.


    you are in the control seat - think about what it is that YOU want and tell him. at this point i don't see that he has an alternative if it's the marriage he really wants. capitalize on your control position at this point, but don't manipulate, but make sure you do get what you need/want for your marriage to work. this is the LAST ditch effort, and if you further see he has not changed, start to calculate an exit strategy. life is too short to be with someone who in the least can not respect you.

    This is NOT a Homework "DO" site, it's a HELP site. We see so many "sad stories" up here -- do you think we still believe them all? Bottom line, posting your homework for us to do is an abuse of this site. We will HELP you if you TRY. This site describes adverbs. Read it and attempt your work. Post it and we'll correct it. THAT is help. http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/adverbs.htm PS Please don't tell us how to answer your "question" either. This IS an open forum and, let's face it, you ARE trying to cheat! EDIT: The "check my answers" is a pretty old dodge too. If you have them, you should have no problem posting them to be "checked". 2nd EDIT: Don't worry, someone helped you cheat! No problem! But sick or not, cheating is cheating. You think you're the only kid with the flu? Get a grip kid. -- And you know, "thumbs down" don't faze me in the least. I rather welcome them. I told you how to get HELP -- I gave you a site to HELP.

    Q. Military discharge with no apparent reasoning..help please?
    i am an ad airman about to put on e-4. about 9 months ago i started a very severe and deep religious experiance (which in no way affected my ability to show up at work or perform my job) and a short time before that i started seeing mental health. things progressed and got better, as for the most part we talked about work/childhood/etc..but things returned to normal. one of the biggest things for my commander was that as part of my religion, i completely shaved my head (although i wore a wig in the beginning in order to keep me within uniform regulations). this pissed off my commander, and he at the time (june 2009) he had a sit down with me, yelled at me about me religious beliefs, threatened to discharge me, etc. as i stated, things got normal again. i grew my hair back and things went back to normal. i was put under case management with mental health for stress during this process. may i also mention that i am also on an alcohol fast and therefore while we have had about 20 duis on this base, i have and always will stay out of trouble. fact is, while no one is perfect, i have never gottan into any real trouble. a few sessions ago, my mental health provider started acting super weird. talking in code about my environment, etc etc. today i came in, we talked about nothing. told him everything has been fine nothing big or anything. he said that he wa recommending me for discharge because he believed that i would not operate well in a deployed setting. i didnt freak out or cry or anything, i just stated that i never enlisting believing that i would never deploy, and really not that i expect it to be a joy ride, i would probably be fine. he was serious, though, and is putting it up to my commander (same jerkoff as above) to be the final word on it. now what do you think he will say? obvious answer to that one. i had a hard time breathing and processing that, and after that appt my flight cheif asked me to take the rest of the day off because she saw that i was pale and sick. i am considering my options right now (legal, etc) and thinking that although no offical process has started, i want to see a military lawyer. the question being, would this lawyer be able to help me? my thinking is a) i have never been in any real trouble b) there are other worse airman on this base with multiple article 15s who have been granted staying in the military c) not to mention all the people on base with duis who have been granted stay in the military. obviously there is no reason for this recommendation, and i feel awkard and blindsighted. who can answer the above questions plus any additional options to consider? obviously i am serious about staying in the military. i would also like to add...some people have said that i may have mental problems because i did in fact shave my head. im normal, and its part of a religion that i grew up with and i would be happy if people stopped discriminating against my religion. one more thing, before i shaved my head i did clear this with my first sargeant who stated that the wig was just fine. please be mature people..ur disrespectful answers are making the armed forces look retarded and uneducated..only serious people answer please. (and thanks in advance for your help and kindness)


    I'll go down your questions one at a time: What will your CO say? Your CO will agree with the psychologist and send you home. Will a lawyer help you? The only thing a lawyer will be able to do is to make sure that you get all the benefits that are due to you. Yes, there IS a reason for this recommendation - and it isn't at ALL related to religion. You were unable to cope with the stress of garrison life - life on a base that was stateside. The mental health folks treated and treated and treated you, with the final results being that it will take over a full year to "fix" you from the time the shrink made the recommendation. This is PURELY a medical issue - and since you will take too long to fix, the military must consider you to be unfit for duty (as if you had a bad back), and they will medically discharge you. You can't handle the stress of a stateside unit - how on Earth could you handle the additional stresses of a war-zone deployment?? Answer: You can't. Therefore, the military will cut their losses and discharge you. I congratulate you on finding a franchise of religion that seems to fill whatever voids you feel you may have, but as a career military person, if the religious requirements say that you have to do things that aren't covered in the regs (like shaving your head), you have to make a decision and either slack off on your religious convictions and not do it, OR get out of the military. Comparing your situation to other doofs doesn't help. Were I in charge of you, you would have had at LEAST an MFR for shaving your head, explaining that you can't just do whatever religions tell you to do and still be successful in the military. There MAY be folks that have multiple NJP's on their records, but their commands have obviously done their own soul searching and have come to the conclusion that these "worse airmen" can be salvaged. And a DUI is not grounds for discharge... MULTIPLE DUI's are, but not one. You are being sent home because you can't handle the military, and can't do all that we require you to do... NOT because you belong to a fringe religion.

    Q. Oh, the places you'll go!?
    congratulations! today is your day. you’re off to great places! you’re off and away! you have brains in your head. you have feet in your shoes. you can steer yourself any direction you choose. you’re on your own. and you know what you know. and you are the guy who’ll decide where to go. you’ll look up and down streets. look’em over with care. about some you will say, “i don’t choose to go there.” with your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet, you’re too smart to go down a not-so-good street. and you may not find any you’ll want to go down. in that case, of course, you’ll head straight out of town. it’s opener there in the wide open air. out there things can happen and frequently do to people as brainy and footsy as you. and when things start to happen, don’t worry. don’t stew. just go right along. you’ll start happening too. oh! the places you’ll go! you’ll be on your way up! you’ll be seeing great sights! you’ll join the high fliers who soar to high heights. you won’t lag behind, because you’ll have the speed. you’ll pass the whole gang and you’ll soon take the lead. wherever you fly, you’ll be best of the best. wherever you go, you will top all the rest. except when you don’t. because, sometimes, you won’t. i’m sorry to say so but, sadly, it’s true that bang-ups and hang-ups can happen to you. you can get all hung up in a prickle-ly perch. and your gang will fly on. you’ll be left in a lurch. you’ll come down from the lurch with an unpleasant bump. and the chances are, then, that you’ll be in a slump. and when you’re in a slump, you’re not in for much fun. un-slumping yourself is not easily done. you will come to a place where the streets are not marked. some windows are lighted. but mostly they’re darked. a place you could sprain both your elbow and chin! do you dare to stay out? do you dare to go in? how much can you lose? how much can you win? and if you go in, should you turn left or right…or right-and-three-quarters? or, maybe, not quite? or go around back and sneak in from behind? simple it’s not, i’m afraid you will find, for a mind-maker-upper to make up his mind. you can get so confused that you’ll start in to race down long wiggled roads at a break-necking pace and grind on for miles across weirdish wild space, headed, i fear, toward a most useless place. the waiting place…for people just waiting. waiting for a train to go or a bus to come, or a plane to go or the mail to come, or the rain to go or the phone to ring, or the snow to snow or waiting around for a yes or no or waiting for their hair to grow. everyone is just waiting. waiting for the fish to bite or waiting for wind to fly a kite or waiting around for friday night or waiting, perhaps, for their uncle jake or a pot to boil, or a better break or a string of pearls, or a pair of pants or a wig with curls, or another chance. everyone is just waiting. no! that’s not for you! somehow you’ll escape all that waiting and staying. you’ll find the bright places where boom bands are playing. with banner flip-flapping, once more you’ll ride high! ready for anything under the sky. ready because you’re that kind of a guy! oh, the places you’ll go! there is fun to be done! there are points to be scored. there are games to be won. and the magical things you can do with that ball will make you the winning-est winner of all. fame! you’ll be famous as famous can be, with the whole wide world watching you win on tv. except when they don’t. because, sometimes, they won’t. i’m afraid that some times you’ll play lonely games too. games you can’t win ‘cause you’ll play against you. all alone! whether you like it or not, alone will be something you’ll be quite a lot. and when you’re alone, there’s a very good chance you’ll meet things that scare you right out of your pants. there are some, down the road between hither and yon, that can scare you so much you won’t want to go on. but on you will go though the weather be foul. on you will go though your enemies prowl. on you will go though the hakken-kraks howl. onward up many a frightening creek, though your arms may get sore and your sneakers may leak. on and on you will hike. and i know you’ll hike far and face up to your problems whatever they are. you’ll get mixed up, of course, as you already know. you’ll get mixed up with many strange birds as you go. so be sure when you step. step with care and great tact and remember that life’s a great balancing act. just never forget to be dexterous and deft. and never mix up your right foot with your left. and will you succeed? yes! you will, indeed! (98 and ¾ percent guaranteed.) kid, you’ll move mountains! so…be your name buxbaum or bixby or bray or mordecai ale van allen o’shea, you’re off to great places! today is your day! your mountain is waiting. so…get on your way! by:dr. seuss.


    I'm on my way.

    Q. Dog behaviorist/ dog trainers please will you please answer this?
    i have a 1 yr old female chihuahua (spayed) who is having a few issues. i had read that dogs go through a fear period around 9 months old, is this true? anyhow her issues are common ones, but ones i am desperate to fix. i have paid a few hundred dollars for training, but am not noticing much improvement. the first one is car rides. if the whole fear @ age of 9 months is true, then it certainly applies to her. right before age of 1 yr i started to notice a big change in her. i've never been able to figure out if it was an age thing, puppy to dog transition? or a car accident she & i were both in around that age as well. but since then she shakes & pants very heavily on car rides :( and i always take her to happy places ie: petsmart, parks, etc. i am very worried about her, she shakes terribly and her paws get really sweaty. what can i do to help her get over her fear of being in the car? i bought her a doggie booster and have tried treats in the car etc. nothing is helping, in fact it even seems to be getting worse. i did hold her in the car today while someone else drove and that helped quite a bit, but i can't hold her while i am driving. and her second & last issue is aggressive reaction out of fear. she reacts aggressively to strangers, mostly men, who come to our home and to other dogs. out in public a man could walk by and she is fine. it is only at our house that she will growl, bark, hackles up & panics!! and with dogs, it's lunging and barking & hackles up usually only to dogs who are barking first. i have been able to put her in a sit, stay when a dog is walking across the street. usually if the other dog is calm, i sometimes can control her. but most of the time she begins the behavior on her own without provoking. please please help me fix this. i would give anything for her to trust me and not react to barking aggressive or excited dogs. to have strangers come in the house without her wigging out!! and not have to close the front door every time someone walks by cause she is growling and barking. what can i do?? should i see a behaviorist for training?


    I wouldn't call it a "fear-period" exactly. Around the age of 8-9 months is when a dog matures, and begins to leave puppy stage for good. They become more alert and concerned of the surroundings they belong to, thus leading to certain issues in some cases. Transport is a common fear in most dogs. It's big, it's loud and half the time it takes them to scary places. The vet for instance. Next time you get into the car, take along someone with you. Together lure the dog inside. Get your friend to drive to a local park- not too far away, while you sit with the dog, comforting the trip down and back. This should help boost her confidence. You will need to do this every so often. Her second issue is the foremost reasonable, and common. It's her territory, she doesn't know you, back off. Aggression is a hard one to get around and can't often be achieved without the help of a trainer specialised in the matter. I would suggest you see someone for this.

    Q. How many of you have read this poem? do you feel it is an example of balladry at its finest?
    john gilpin was a citizen of credit and renown, a train-band captain eke was he of famous london town. john gilpin’s spouse said to her dear, ‘though wedded we have been these twice ten tedious years, yet we no holiday have seen. ‘to-morrow is our wedding-day, and we will then repair unto the bell at edmonton, all in a chaise and pair. ‘my sister, and my sister’s child, myself, and children three, will fill the chaise; so you must ride on horseback after we.’ he soon replied, ‘i do admire of womankind but one, and you are she, my dearest dear, therefore it shall be done. ‘i am a linen-draper bold, as all the world doth know, and my good friend the calender will lend his horse to go.’ quoth mrs. gilpin, ‘that’s well said; and for that wine is dear, we will be furnished with our own, which is both bright and clear.’ john gilpin kissed his loving wife; o’erjoyed was he to find, that though on pleasure she was bent, she had a frugal mind. the morning came, the chaise was brought, but yet was not allowed to drive up to the door, lest all should say that she was proud. so three doors off the chaise was stayed, where they did all get in; six precious souls, and all agog to dash through thick and thin. smack went the whip, round went the wheels, were never folk so glad, the stones did rattle underneath, as if cheapside were mad. john gilpin at his horse’s side seized fast the flowing mane, and up he got, in haste to ride, but soon came down again; for saddle-tree scarce reached had be, his journey to begin, when, turning round his head, he saw three customers come in. so down he came; for loss of time, although it grieved him sore, yet loss of pence, full well he knew, would trouble him much more. ’twas long before the customers were suited to their mind, when betty screaming came down stairs, ‘the wine is left behind!’ ‘good lack,’ quoth he—‘yet bring it me, my leathern belt likewise, in which i bear my trusty sword, when i do exercise.’ now mistress gilpin (careful soul!) had two stone bottles found, to hold the liquor that she loved, and keep it safe and sound. each bottle had a curling ear, through which the belt he drew, and hung a bottle on each side, to make his balance true. then over all, that he might be equipped from top to toe, his long red cloak, well brushed and neat; he manfully did throw. now see him mounted once again upon his nimble steed, full slowly pacing o’er the stones, with caution and good heed. but finding soon a smoother road beneath his well-shod feet, the snorting beast began to trot, which galled him in his seat. so, ‘fair and softly,’ john he cried, but john he called in vain; that trot became a gallop soon, in spite of curb and rein. so stooping down as needs he must who cannot sit upright, he grasped the mane with both his hands, and eke with all his might. his horse, who never in that sort had handled been before, what thing upon his back had got did wonder more and more. away went gilpin, neck or nought; away went hat and wig; he little dreamt, when he set out, of running such a rig. the wind did blow, the cloak did fly, like streamer long and gay, till, loop and button failing both, at last it flew away. then might all people well discern the bottles he had slung; a bottle swinging at each side. as hath been said or sung. the dogs did bark, the children screamed, up flew the windows all; and every soul cried out, ‘well done!’ as loud as he could bawl. away went gilpin—who but he? his fame soon spread around; ‘he carries weight! he rides a race!’ ‘’tis for a thousand pound!’ and still, as fast as he drew near, ’twas wonderful to view, how in a trice the turnpike-men their gates wide open threw. and now, as he went bowing down his reeking head full low, the bottles twain behind his back were shattered at a blow. down ran the wine into the road, most piteous to be seen, which made his horse’s flanks to smoke as they had basted been. but still he seemed to carry weight, with leathern girdle braced; for all might see the bottle-necks still dangling at his waist. thus all through merry islington these gambols he did play, until he came unto the wash that hangs upon your face; and stop and eat, for well you may be in a hungry case.’ said john, ‘it is my wedding day, and all the world would stare, if wife should dine at edmonton, and i should dine at ware.’ so turning to his horse, he said, ‘i am in haste to dine; ’twas for your pleasure you came here, you shall go back for mine.’ ah, luckless speech, and bootless boast! for which he paid full dear; for, while he spake, a braying ass did sing most loud and clear; whereat his horse did snort, as he had heard a lion roar, and galloped off with all his might, as he had done before. away went gilpin, and away went gilpin’s hat and wig; he lost them sooner than at first; for why?—they were too big. now mistress gilpin, when she saw her husband posting down into the country far away, she pulled out half a crown; and thus unto the youth she said that drove them to the bell, ‘this shall be yours, when you bring back my husband safe and well.’ the youth did ride, and soon did meet john coming back again: whom in a trice he tried to stop, by catching at his rein; but not performing what he meant, and gladly would have done, the frighted steed he frighted more, and made him faster run. away went gilpin, and away went postboy at his heels, the postboy’s horse right glad to miss the lumbering of the wheels. six gentlemen upon the road, thus seeing gilpin fly, with postboy scampering in the rear, they raised the hue and cry: ‘stop thief! stop thief!—a highwayman!’ not one of them was mute; and all and each that passed that way did join in the pursuit. of edmonton so gay; and there he threw the wash about on both sides of the way, just like unto a trundling mop, or a wild goose at play. at edmonton his loving wife from the balcony spied her tender husband, wondering much to see how he did ride. ‘stop, stop, john gilpin!—here’s the house!’ they all at once did cry; ‘the dinner waits, and we are tired;’— said gilpin—‘so am i!’ but yet his horse was not a whit inclined to tarry there! for why?—his owner had a house full ten miles off at ware. so like an arrow swift he flew, shot by an archer strong; so did he fly—which brings me to the middle of my song. away went gilpin, out of breath, and sore against his will, till at his friend the calender’s his horse at last stood still. the calender, amazed to see his neighbour in such trim, laid down his pipe flew to the gate, and thus accosted him: ‘what news? what news? your tidings tell; tell me you must and shall— say why bareheaded you are come, or why you come at all?’ now gilpin had a pleasant wit, and loved a timely joke; and thus unto the calender in merry guise he spoke: ‘i came because your horse would come, and, if i well forebode, my hat and wig will soon be here,— they are upon the road.’ the calender, right glad to find his friend in merry pin, returned him not a single word, but to the house went in; whence straight he came with hat and wig; a wig that flowed behind, a hat not much the worse for wear, each comely in its kind. he held them up, and in his turn thus showed his ready wit, ‘my head is twice as big as yours, they therefore needs must fit. ‘but let me scrape the dirt away and now the turnpike gates again flew open in short space; the toll-men thinking, as before, that gilpin rode a race. and so he did, and won it too, for he got first to town; nor stopped till where he had got up he did again get down. now let us sing, long live the king! and gilpin, long live he! and when he next doth ride abroad may i be there to see!


    It's horrible!
