I recently found a small kitten that i imagine to be about 4 or 5 weeks old. The mother abandoned it and I brought it home about a week ago. At first I fed it goat's milk, as I am in an area where the kitty formula was not available. So I fed it goat's milk and a mixture of goat's milk and hard food (mushed up) for the first few days, and now I feed her a mixture for a formula I found online (goats milk, egg whites, a touch of oil) as well as wet kitten food. I have been told that by this team she should be willing or at least trying to eat on her own, but I have to practically force feed her with a bottle (she does swallow it on her own though). Also, she sleeps all the time, she doesn't get up and walk around like she did at the beginning of the week. Now she just seems to have lost the will to live. I don't know what to do, I feel like she is not getting enough food even though we do feed her alot, and I hate that she doesnt get up unless we make her.... what should I do? Thanks in advance...

u should take her to a local vet or humane society she is probably sick
she may have worms
and since she hasnt had her shots or anything and no one has checked her out medically
theres no way of knowing unless u get professional help for her

good luck!


Okay, so I'm not quite sure how to begin so I will provide you with some background information as well as the actual dilemma. I live with a guy, Tim, who up until a little while ago believed he was gay. My other roommate, Susan, is best friends with me as well as Tim. I was drinking socially with Tim and a friend, Nick, one night and he was joking around about the fact that Tim needed to test out his "am I gay" theory and I needed to get laid, so he suggested with get them both out of the way by having sex with each other. Had we been completely sober I don't think I would have gone along with him, but in the past I had kind of liked him before I found out he was gay and he's a real good friend, so I agreed to it. I found out the next day, that he's had feelings for me the whole time and that's why he was questioning his sexual preference. We dated for about two weeks until Susan completely freaked on us when we told her about our intentions as well as recent events, and she told us she felt really awkward and that she wanted to move out if we were going to continue dating. (She assumed it would end because of her complete convincing that he's gay, and that bi isn't an option) Though one thing I don't understand is that she said she didn’t want us dating because it would make her feel awkward, but didn't want us not to date for her sake because that would also make her awkward; so what were we to do right? Well, we didn't want her to move out because she's our best friend but after less than a week we were feeling very much sexual tension and ended up making-out on the couch one night after seemingly harmless flirting. That was almost a month ago. We have been dating since then and she doesn't know about it. I feel terrible about lying to her, well technically she hasn't asked, but we haven't told her either, so it's as bad as lying about it. I hate not being honest with her, but I guess that's the price I pay for keeping something this huge from your best friend. I mean, I usually talk to her about everything, I just can't tell her about this because it will mean the end of our friendship as well as the end of my and Tim's relationship. I truly value both; is it justified that we keep quiet? I would never risk a friendship over a relationship, but this is two separate friendships that I'd rather not compete against each other because they are both different. I guess what I'm asking is more your opinion rather than what to do, because I think we both know that I'm going to do what I want, which is to remain in the secret relationship. Thank you for your time and opinion. (link)
i suggest u have a long talk with susan. she needs to understand it is your life and not hers-she cannot run YOUR life. you make your own descisions and so does tim. if susan was a real friend, she would quit being selffish. she needs to get over being awkward and be a friend to both you and tim and i believe a real friend would be happy for the both of you--unless she is jealous and had feelings for tim. know what i mean? anyways just talk to her about it. if you and tim want to become public you should be able to. you are adults and can make your life how you want it. i understand you dont want to hurt susan but she should not want to hurt you either.

if she is adamant about you two not being together-find another roomate and question your friendship.

good luck with everything. i know its hard but atleast you and tim are in it together and on the same page-thats a blessing
and good luck to your relationship!

it sounds like that show will and grace!

anyways have a good day

:)


This is the second month of taking yasmin birth control...but today is Wednesday i just took the Wednesday pill.

I'm not using it as birth control but more like irregular periods and mild acne.

I quickly checked the color of the pills and they seem to be the same so I was wondering if I should go back and start taking from Sunday's pill or continue tomorrow from Thursday? (link)
hey! this isnt really answering you question but you might want to consider another birth control pill--i have been watching all these commercials about that brand of pill being taken off the market and how serious side effects of the pill are so bad they are urging people to stop taking it and call for a lawsuit..you should look it up! i know "ocella" is another one as well.....
im on "ortho trycyline" for the same reasons as you and if you consider switching i would recommend that!

sorry if i cause any inconvienience!

try craigslist.com for job offers and apartments, or you could try a realtor.

my boyfriend ryan is in college! if that helps, weve been going out for a year.

already for our 1 year i made a photo album/scrapbook with all these pictures of us, and i wrote him a letter. he seems to love the things i make him.

i'm 16 and i dont have alot of money because i dont work so unfortunately my parents give me money, except i have been saving up alll my coins and spare dollars.

i already was thinking about getting him the ipod classic but he is happy with his ipod touch, he doesnt really like the classic ive asked him a couple times.

he has a huge interest in cars, he has an 09 subaru wrx, if that helps, he like does stuff to it to make it faster, louder, look cooler, but i cant afford to do any of that! =[

he loves to sleep, so i was thinking of maybe getting him a memory foam pillow or something? but its his 19th bday, so idk if thats more of a christmas present or a birthday present.

he spoils me alot, i ask him not too but he insists on buying me nice things, considering he has a job and his parents and grandparents send him money every month.. i beg him not to but he does it anyways.

his birthday is nov 4th so im not sure if im going to see him since im only a junior in HS and hes a freshman in college 7 hours away haa. so i think baking something is out of the question even though he loves when i bake him food :). so ill do that whenver i see him for sure. some cookies and brownies, he loves that!

i really want to get him something! ive been thinking about it for months.....but i think making another picture album or making another poster card is out of option this year :( i did that for his bday last year along with 60 dollars.

ugh its so hard! pleasepelase help. (link)
i think you should surprise visit him!!

like for the weekend-get a hotel for like 2 nights-maybe take a day off school...
ask your mom about it first and see what she thinks

or if you are a risk taker do it yourself with the help of a friend ;)

but yeah i think a surprise visit will totally pump him up

i bet you could even stay with him in his dorm
some colleges allow that you know

good luck on whatever you do!


were both really into music like HIM, classic rock, etc. basically like love metal type stuff. so our outlook on love is that dark romance haha. we are in love, so i have no qualms on what to draw. i'm an artist, and need some creative ideas on what to draw for him besides him, us, etc. i did a silhouette picture last month, so thats taken(: but if anyone has any darker, romantic things i could draw or paint, i'd be really grateful :) (link)
draw the both of you as characters such as jack and sally from nightmare before x-mas or as edward scissor hands and his love.

good luck!

I need to lose belly fat but I don't know what to do. Does anybody have any ideas on how to get rid of my fatty stomach? I hate it because I look like I'm pregnant in some of my tops. (link)
hey! here is some advice i got from the glamour magazine body issue

there are certain foods are there that do suppress and help with belly fat.

they include
avacado
dark chocolate
peanut butter
almonds
milk (fat free)

but eat these in moderation!

running or walking at a fast pace is good for the legs, thighs and lower belly

crunches and curl ups help define your stomache and side bends help with love handles


a good diet and excersizeplan will help you lose weight all around--including your tummy

good luck!


so i'm new at this school and im beginning to like this guy. i see him every day in one of my classes. the thing is im kind of confused about him and i never really got the chance to talk to him. i started to notice him the first time we had class together and i think he realised that because at the end of class he kind of checked me out before he left. he sits infront of me and yesterday he turned around about 3 or 4 times during class to look at me, i always blushed and looked away and so did he when he saw me looking.
but then when class ends i always try to get closer to him to talk to him but he always walks by me ignoring me not even seeing me. same thing today, during class he turned around twice but ignored me outside class. and later on when school finished he was at the front door, about to leave but he turned around again to look at me and then left. i thought it was really cute so i smiled at him but he didnt smile back cause he didnt see it fast enough. and i know hes really shy and quiet and it seems to me like he didnt have lots of experience with girls. he's a little emo-ish but still talks to all the other groups so i dont think i have to be emo to be liked by him. i do think that he noticed me because i know im pretty etc but i dont know what to do. then again ive only been at this school for one week haha. any tips? (: (link)
hey hey!
okay sooo i have totally been in this situation only mine ended tragically! the boy i liked sat in front of me on the bus. he too always turned around--but it turns out he turned around soo much because he thought it was creepy that i was always staring at him! and the whole time i was like "ooh this kid is totally looking at me!" and yeah he was but at the same time I was always looking at him--therefore he was thinking "why is this chick always staring at me when i turn around--weird!" so yeah i toaly embarrassed myself.

to save you from this situation--whenever he looks at you DONT LOOK. pretend to be too busy to notice him looking--for instance look down and start writing or readiong something or be looking at someone else when he begins to turn to look at you. just feel his eyes on you instead of making eye contact.

as for after class--if you give off an attitude of being pristine and too cool he may begin to notice you. im not saying like be bitchy or snobbish-just kind of whimsical.

make him take your bait and come to you.

also-to boost my confidence before school i would take extra time in getting ready. i know it seems i was conceited but i wasnt. i just wanted to look cute and have my hair and makeup done so i wouldnt have to worry about the way i look--id focus on what i was doing or saying to the boys lol

good luck girly!


Hi, so i got my last period July 31st and it ended August 5th.

I had sex on the 8th (friday) we used a condom, but then later on blahblah we ended up having a quickie without a condom, he didn't do anything and I highly doubted I was pregnant (yes I know there's always a chance) I took plan b the next day -- to be safer rather than sorry.

I've never taken it before. Anyways I was fine after I took it, but then wednesday (the 12th) I started spotting a little, and it's friday now but it's gotten heavier, so is this my period again?

(I also had sex last night with a condom though -- I dont know if that made the spotting worse)

So yeah I know plan b a side effect is spotting, but can spotting turn into your normal period? And since I already had my period, what does this mean for my next one?

Thanks! (link)
hey hon i would call the number on the box the plan b kit you used.
no need to be super alarmed but if u have never taken it before then the heavy flow might be ur body's way of dealing with it-know what i mean?
good luck!


I know someone who was caught stealing. Now they have to tell the person they stole from something that will make them believe they would never do it again. It has to be convincible. Has to prove to the person that they deserve a second chance!!! help!!! They are relying on me! (link)
well you have ask yourself/the person-will they ever do it again? and what was their reasoning for stealing in the first place?
if they are truely sorry and will not do it again then they need to explain that and do something to show how sorry they really are-such as offer help with something or buy whoever they stole from some lunch or a nice gift

i have had people steal from me. a girl i knew recently stole my perfume and i found it in her purse. i called her out on it and she seemed really sorry and explained she must have accidentally put in her purse after using it. i did forgive her and she has yet to do anything bad like that or steal from me again. if she ever did something like that though i would really knoew she wasnt sorry in the first place. know what i mean?

just as long as they really are sorry and wont do it again things should be fine. everything in life works its course for the better anyway!


Im 15 femalw, and i would say that i am in shape. but i wasnt always this way what made me change my mind was will power, and well it worked but i didnt lose the weight healthy. i starved myself... i knew when to quit though and now i eat all the time lol. but i need advice for my mom. she is 38 and very much overwieght. she doesnt have the will power to get up and exercise because she is embarrased about her weight so she doesnt do it. i have offered to exercise with her but i know how she would feel obecause i am way skinnier than her. she doessnt have very much muscle and she cand stand on her feet for long because of heel spers. i need some recipies that will help her lose weight without doing much work (even though i think that will be very hard). i dont want to try neutrosystem because that food sucks, and i dont want her to have any pills beccause they make her sick. btw, she trows up a lot because of her olsars and she cant handle a lot of food. it makes me worry. someone please help! give me site or only a recipie you know so i can help my mom. i am willin to even cool for her (even though i never really learned how to cook... but i know th basics.) any advice would be helpful! thank you! (link)
hey girl dont worry everything will be okay
i read an article in Redbook magazine about 5 women who lost 100 pounds in 1 year--all by just switching their foods to a healthier alternative! as the women began to lose weight they were inspired to keep going which is that i believe will happen to your mom. on top of this the women lost the weight with little to no excersize and no diet pills were included. they did it through eating healthy and controlling their caloric intake. some kept a diary of everything they ate in order to look at just how many calories they were eating. and they didnt do anything super strict-they used portion control when it came to eating the more unhealthy things such as cake (one piece not three!) and icecream.
here is a list of the healthy alternatives to food

Bread=get whole wheat and whole grain instead of white
veggies=eat fresh not canned
fruits=same
milk=drink non fat or skim not whole (whole milk id like drinking butter!)
chocolate=eat dark chocolate-it has a load of antioxidants but dont overdue!
another chocolate alternative is Carub Chocolate-its one of the healthiest kinds!
when it comes to cereals=dont get the sugary ones-instead eat cereals with at least 8 grams of fiber and whole grains to keep fuller longer-i recommend Kashi fiber cereals
icecream= get non fat sorbets or non fat froxen yogurts or even frozen bananas/strawberries dipped in dark chocolate! yum!
meats=stay lean. get low sodium meats from the deli and grilled chicken instead of fried. also sticl to good cooked steaks like filet minon not fried.
nuts= stay with almonds and non salted nuts-small handfuls-they pack calories!
yogurt-try Greek yogurt-its thicker with lots more antioxidants and fiber!
avacados are a good source of healthy fats
for drinks stick to water and green tea-proven to help you lose weight. NO SODA or other carbonated sugar drinks-even vitamn water! check the calories! and keep coffee simple- it burns calories and speeds metabolism but not when u add a bunvh of cream and sugar!

in general stay away from everything fried, refined sugars and non healthy fats

for small excersize maybe go on walks like walk the dog or hoolahoop! its funny but yeah! also tell your mom to relax and de-stress herself on a daily basis-stress leads to weight gain and unhealthy eating habits

i jope i helped! good luck yo you both!


So I am 20 and crazy about my best friend. He knows I like him, and he admitted that he has feelings for me too. Unfortunately he has a girlfriend. He was having serious problems with her though and kept telling me he was going to break-up with her. We weren't planning on dating when he broke up with her....at least not right away.
I was talking to him today and he said things were going a lot better with her, and now they probably wont break up.
So I am totally bummed now. I just feel like crying. How do I get over him? (link)
you dont need a guy like that.
you need someone who will choose you first and if he is already dating someone else that should be a red flag that he may be prone to cheating if told you he had feelings for you too. you need someone who will be dedicated to you and only you--not someone who isnt sure of how they feel between two different women. be confident in yourself and dont settle for less than what you deserve. you have your whole life to figure out exactly what you want in a man and when u want to settle down. dont focus on this guy. stay friends but remember--he chose the other girl-his girlfriend. you are worth all of someones time and heart-not half!


17-Female

I have been having alot of problems the past two weeks and have no idea whats wrong.
i have had a terrible upset stomach for the past two weeks it hurts terribly if im hungry and right after i eat which makes me not feel like eating and nothing sounds good to me.
I had my period right before the stomach pains started and it lasted twice as long as it normally does i normally have a 3 day period and this time it was 5-6 days.
and the other day a new problem came up i am having cramps and it feels as if im on my period but im not.


i have an idea of what it could be but i had only had sex a week or a week and a half before these things started happening....
give me as many possibilities if at all possible.

thanks in advance :)
sorry if its long :( (link)
i had the almost exact same problems as you and its a Urinary Tract Infection or UTI that has turned into a kidney/bladder infection.

i waited a week and was emitted into the hospital where i recieved an oral exam and had to drink a huge glass of this special ink liquid in order for them to give me a cat scan of my stomache.

go to the hospital right away. i went to a free clinic to see if i had a UTI and they said i didnt and sent me home. well it turns out i did but it didnt show up because it had already turned into a severe kidney/bladder infection.

tell your parents and go to a doctor, seriously.
you dont have to tell them you had sex if you dont want to--this is kinda gross but most UTI's happen because fecal matter (or poop) gets into the vagina--that can happen through sex, wearing thongs and wiping the wrong way.

i really hope i helped! ask me if u need addictional info!
