I have two chinchillas and they had two babies. we brought them all to vet to be sure that they were healthy. after the babies came we just had to get our male chinchilla fixed. he got through the surgery ok but then we noticed he wouldnt move his leg and his tail was bleeding.
The vet told us he was probably just sore and we should just wait and see. in the morning my mom found him laying in the cage... dead=(. we were all upset and we now found out that one baby is a girl... and one is a boy. Im so worried. my mom told me either we have to get him fixed, or he will have to be separated from the mom and baby girl.
Its scary but i was reading about fixing them and it said that most chins do make it out of being fixed just fine. Should we take the chance and get the baby boy fixed too? (link)

Yes, i think you should take that chance because like you said, most do make it out fine. And maybe sue the vet?? God, your chin was NOT fine and should have had more care after the surgery. And if you decide to get your male, baby chin fixed, then make sure that he doesn't have the same trouble after the procedure or else you need to tell the vet that he needs care and to figure out what's wrong because you don't want his life to end like his dad's. If it's a different vet, then make sure you explain to them the exact problem that happened to your other chinchilla and find out what went wrong and what he or she will do to ensure it does not happen again. Sorry i sound kind of angry, but you need to be firm with the vet because they made a mistake here, and you have a right to find out why they were missled, and what they will do to make sure that your new chin will not have the same fate as him.

So I have a boyfriend whom I have been with for a lil over 2 months.We've been talking for months before we actually started going out.Or made it official.In between all that.I was talking to my ex.Really my ex was trying to get back with me.And I have feelings for him still and always will be.Not necessarily strong ones or whatever,But you get my drift.He always seem to come in mind.I try not to let it effect my relationship with my boyfriend,But I mean he sometimes ends up in the conversation.Not necessarily with my boyfriend, But with like friends and family.I feel guilty though.For even having any thoughts about him because my ex was a jerk,But I mean I can't help but think about him.I don't know how to get him out of my head.I'm running out of things to do.I don't want to think I'm dating my boyfriend because of my ex because i'd honestly feel ashamed.I just need some help with this.Usually I'm the one giving the advice.I just don't want to lose my boyfriend.He is just so amazing and sweet and what I want.He makes me happy.Soo... question is..what do I do? (link)
|
you cannot go out with two guys. So you must make a choice. What are the pro's and con's of each boy? If your ex. has more pro's, then you might want to get back with him. Just because the other guy is sweet and amazing doesn't necessarily mean he's right for YOU. Sorry it's cliche, but go with your heart. If your current boyfriend has more pro's, then spend lots of time with him, and spend much less time with your ex., so that you might be able to forget about him easier. If you are still unsure on who you like, let your current boyfriend go so that he can meet someone who truely does like like him, because it's not fair to mislead such a sweet guy. Who knows? they could BOTH be the wrong guys for you. Your ex. was a "jerk" and this guy is
"sweet". That's a big jump, hun. Try finding someone in the middle! it seems more YOU. Good luck.

I'm going with this guy (who i like) to this dance this Saturday. And he asked me what do you wanna do there?
And I dont know but he finds after awhile dancing gets really boring. I agree too. So what is there to do at a dance besides dancing?? Something fun, I would like to make this the best dance of my life!!
Thank you:)
p.s. I really really really like him!!!! (link)
|
Stuff to do at a dance besides dancing....talking and getting to know eachother, eating, (kissing?), (making out?) depends on how far you want to go. But also i dont know much about who you are, but if you're in to prank calls (to your friends) that can be a really fun thing to do with your crush, because you guys get to change your voices around and make eachother laugh....a good transition for a kiss or something. ;-) Just have fun and go with the flow. He's probably trying to think of stuff to do to, so you can follow his lead a little bit too. Plus, the first thing that came to mind when i read your question was "making out", so maybe he was trying to hint that to you? Good luck! (i'd LOVE to know how it goes!)

my friend well I told her about me and him and then I told him so what should I say (link)
|
wait what did you tell him???
and it's ok you're not getting on my nerves.
|
|
I know how you told me don't go out with him,but he is best friends with my best friend and he told her he doesn't know if he should go out with me because I am so much smarter than him but for this special event coming up for school a boy and a girl have to hold hands and walk down the runway with each other what if I get stuck with him and he starts getting love sick eyes but I get love sick around him to what should I do if that happens? (link)
|
sorry it took me a little while to respond. but let's see..... i told you that you probably shouldn't go out with him....and i still think that, but i also think that for a school event, i see no reason why you two can't "hold hands and walk down the runway" because it doesn't mean that you guys are necessarily going out. I know you probably still have feelings for him, but in my opinion you should not go out with him. Sorry! And he may still have feelings for you too, but I don't think you guys will have a healthy relationship. He seems like he doesn't get that you are your own happy person. And as for getting love sick? Well why do you think it is called LOVE sick? Because you want LOVE. It doesn't have to be with him though. Try going to some events and stuff, like parties for your friends' cousins and stuff so that you can meet new people. Also, keep in mind that high school next year...you'll meet TONS of new guys then. So just appreciate and learn from the old times and look forward to the new. You'll have healthier and happier relationships that way. Thanks for inquiring more. Glad to help! And good luck.

for a school warm up tape we wanted to make it so that it was one long song where we could cut our favorite parts of songs and only have that part play then go into another favorite part of another song. is there a program we can download to be able to do that? and does anyone know any good warm up songs? (link)
|
If you use an emac, then you can do this. I've capitalized the applications involved:
import your songs (from ITUNES) into IMOVIE and cut out the parts you don't want on the songs (it's wicked easy and self-explanitory). You can stitch the audio clips together on imovie and burn a disk of them. incase it wont let you burn a disk for some reason....
A) Try importing the new "long warm up song" into itunes and then burning the disk from there (which i know for a fact DOES work)
B) Turning the volume on your computer up really loud and letting it play, while SOUND STUDIO (already on your emac as well) is recording it. Be careful not to talk or have any background noise though if you do this because it is recording all of the noise outside the computer, not internal noise. Once your song is done playing, click "stop" on Sound Studio and then you can edit noise before and after the song plays. Then import that to itunes. But definitely try A) first!
I hope i helped. I know the second suggestion definitely does work. But it will only take a second for you to check if the first one does as well. Good luck!
-SlushPuppy
P.S. I'm so sorry if you aren't using a mac. I don't know what to do in that case....i use emacs, lol.
P.S.S. Once the song is on itunes, of course, however you get it there, you can click "burn cd" and insert a blank CD-R. =)

okay, i have asked a million questions about my boyfriend and friend...but my ex and i broke up because our good friend liked him but now she doenst like him anymore and i still rly like him. every time i see him in the hall hes always staring straight in my eyes and at swim team he just stared at me..is this a sign he likes me? just tell me your honest opinion because im not sure what hes getting at it..
thanks! (link)
|
first off, dont worry about asking a million questions because they are annonymous. Phew! lol.
ok now to your question: that's too bad that you guys broke up just because a friend had her eyes on the prize you'd won. but anyway, what's done is done, and it seems like he may like you. he's probably wishing he could get back together with you and wondering if you have a boyfriend at the time depending on how good friends you are right now. try to ask friends and maybe talk to him on the phone or IM to see what is on his mind. Perhaps he's shy? I don't know. But i hope i helped a little :).

If you are on your period can you still go swimming (link)
| |
yes but you must wear a tampon or it will get on your bathing suit and into the pool and that would suck. it's self-explanitory how bad that would be, lol.

and my boyfriend and i don't have sex. i'd say i'm on the right track. however, my parents think that we're getting "too serious" and that i'm "too young" to be in a relationship lasting this long. they think i am wasting my time. i totally see their point of view, they're parents .. they're supposed to worry about that. but it's gotten to the point where they're almost telling me NOT to see him anymore. they are STRONGLY encouraging me to "play the field" and "date around" i know that i won't marry my boyfriend, but why would i break up with him if i love him. this isn't junior high love either. i promise you with everything in me that i love him with a maturity far beyond my years. i plan to ride this relationship out for as long as the Good Lord allows it, and i'm extremely upset that my parents aren't behind me. so my question is, what do i do? i'm torn between wanting to have my parents approval, and wanting to make my own decisions and live with whatever consequences may come as a result. please, ANY advice would be greatly appreciated. (link)
|
try really talking to your parents and telling them what you just told us. i can see both points of views here, and letting your parents know that you understand both points of view and are not just thinking of you you you should allow them to see that you are mature. hope all goes well =)

ive looked at the after pictures of acne laser treatment and i think it kind of looks like mine right now. so i was wondering if it could even do anything for me. lol i made a picturetrail with pictures of my acne scars. and do you have an idea of how much it would cost? ignore my scar thats a line though. http://www.picturetrail.com/acne (link)
|
it's possible that it could do something for you. you should see a dermatologist (skin doctor) and find out if laser treatment is right for you. the results probably won't be as dramatic as other people's experiences have been, because AFTER the treatment, as you said, their skin looks like yours. As for how much it would cost, acne lasar treatment usually costs a lot....according to one company, $500 for a 15-20 minute session. But do your research wisely with your dermatologist to see if you can get a better deal. Good luck!

I did not see a good category for this so I am just sticking it here...
We want to move to australia to live. Probably start off in Sydney. Does anyone know somewhere there that is pretty in expensive like maybe $500-$800 per month for a 1 or 2 bedroom and what area it is. Like what all we need to move there and live. Also like how to find jobs and stuff like that. Anything you know about moving out there would be awesome! Thank you. (link)

sorry, but i doubt anyone knows something this specific. but i can lead you to something that may help you. try using yahoo travel to find deals on houses. you can also use yahoo jobs to try to find an ideal job. hope i helped a little.

This is a fairly ridiculous question, but it`s legitimate so please bare with me. I want a boyfriend. The whole idea of enjoying someone`s company and being close gives me butterflies.
I try so hard to be everything a guy would want. I dress attractively everyday, I always wear make-up and do my hair. I'm confident and flirt accordingly. I get straight A`s - I don`t want to be all looks. I try to be friends with guys and nice to their friends. I have everything other girls do - and more! Why isn`t this happening for me?
I'm 5'8 and between 115-120 lbs, I exercise a lot and love competitive sports. I looove going to hockey/football games and really getting into it and talking to guys. At amusement parks, I`m always the first one onto the most daring and adventurous rides. Every chance I get, I go to dances and parties. Aren`t those good places to meet a guy?
This all sounds like ridiculous bragging, but I`m trying to prove (to you and myself) that I have what it takes to be liked by guys. I love laughing and making people laugh, also. I want someone to have fun with, to spoil and to care for. Sometimes this 'want' for a boyfriend gets so uncontrollable that it takes over my emotions. Sometimes I think maybe I`m just not deserving of a decent (or any) boyfriend.
I must be missing something - what could it be? It`s been three years since I`ve last had a boyfriend.. everytime a guy and I get close, there`s always some excuse and fades away. I`m young, I don`t want to miss out on all of that pointless (yet cute) `puppy love`. (link)
|
you definitely deserve a boyfriend, and i know you really, really want one, but maybe that special guy hasnt come along yet. try going to parties of your friends...you never know, some cute guy might think your really hot, that guy that you met at your cousin's friend's bbq! or something like that! Random places where you are around new people are good places to hunt. It could be that around your school the people know you so well that they all love you as a great friend....and for some reason don't really consider you as a girlfriend.....i dont know why, but maybe this is happening. I hope i was helpful and good luck. =)

I am a African-American 16 year old girl who really wants some different hairstyles, but I'm not sure what to do. I usually wear my hair in twist or braids, but its still "weave"....do you have any idea on different natural styles I could use? I'm not sure I want dreads and its hard for me to maintain a afro. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated... ( and please don't say get a perm....because its not natural)
Thanks,
Spoolie21 (link)

you can always just comb your hair out or part it differently for a different look, like zigg-zaggs or to the side or middle. cute clips and hair ties will jazz up your hairstyle too. Also, when you get out of the shower after washing your hair, you could try flipping your hair into a creativly formed bun and when it dries it should be a little different. I hope I was helpful!

Ok I this guy that I used to like wants me to go out with him but the reason I stopped was because he use to pick on me(big sign of love)Now I think I should go out with him but the school years almost up and he isn't going to be at the same middle school that we were in last year so what should I do if he decides to ask me I mean we talk on the phone now.But we have been friends for so long what if it doesn't work out and our friendship is ruined by this little feeling.What should I do? (link)
|
I don't think you should go out with him. Here's why.
A. He used to pick on you! Thank God you got out of that relationship. Like you sarcatically stated, big sign of love. No! He doesn't appreciate you and he could force you to do things you don't want to. You are your own person and are equal to him. If he doesn't realize that, then you don't need him.
B. School's almost out. Give yourself the summer to meet new people and think things over. Deal with it next year.
C. I've gone out with a guy in another school and BELIEVE ME it is sooo hard because you hardly ever get to see eachother and it always works out that when you have a huge project due, they have no homework, and then when you have no homework, they have a huge project due. lol. it stinks, but it's life.
D. You should try to get through next year being friends. Next year i will be at high school and trying to stay in touch with my friend who is going to a private high school for next year. And I'm not sure how that's going to work out. Believe me, it's ten times harder if you're trying to be MORE than friends.
Sorry if i was a little harsh, but i hope i got the message across. im really a friendly person, i just have strong views, lol. =) Hope I helped.

How do you know if you can make out really well? (link)
|
A. Ask the guy if it was good.
B. Read websites about making out, and if it seems like you do pretty much what they say, then you're probably doing it how most people do it, which is good.
C. Always follow the rule of thumb...Dont eat their face.
You should be good. Dont stress over it. =)

my armpits are rly sensitive. are there any alternatives beside shaving that wont irritate them (link)
|
well it may irritate them, not sure, but a hair-removal method besides shaving is using the stuff you spray on and then wipe away the hair. but the stuff is kinda strong because it has to release the hair folicles, which, obviousely, are stuck in there pretty well! But it's not at all painful and is easy. hope this helps!

ok this is weired but my sister kept making fun of them today saying they are bug eggs that live in me..... so i was wondering what they may be:
they are a bunch of small round bumps on the inner sides of my heal under the big inner round ankle bone. they don't hurt. they are soft and can be pushed in, and by small i mean probably a bit smaller or as big as a drop of water. but they are perfectly round and they gather at the very end of my inner ankle almost near to the ground when i stand. anyway i noticed them when i was little and someone once said they are from cholesterol?1?!?! (link)
|
I don't really know, but you should probably see a doctor. I would think you would have already if they've been there since you were little, but just incase, I thought I'd tell you that. Also, is it possible you stepped in something, or wore a boot that had material you are allergic to? it's strange that they seem to be permanent. i hope you figure it out.

hey im a guy, 13. If you go onto this website theres a pic of me. Tell me if you like what i look like... www.advicepic1.piczo.com (link)
|
yeah. I definitely don't think you are ugly. you seem average. do you mind my asking why?
-SlushPuppy
|
Does this guy like me if i sit in the back of the room and he sits in the front row...and he asks me for a pencil? If every time i look at him he is looking at me and quick turns around again! because i like him
(link)
| |
he may like you. but you havn't told us much about you guys. do you like him? do you really know him? are you friends? It could be flirting though....
|
|
my sister just told me that my other sister was bisexual and my sister and i are really close or at least i thought we were and iam just in so much shock right now and i don't know how to handle it it's just that we've always told each other every thing. (link)
|
that must be shocking, i won't lie to you. but keep in mind she may have been scared about it. people dont choose their sexual orientation, so probably when she first started getting some feelings toward a girl or girls, she was like, "omg...i'm bi!" and was probably more shocked than you are now. so have sympathy for her and let her know you're there for her and that you will always love her. it will probably make both of you feel much better. hope i helped =)
