Only a true moron would think reducing absorption of healthful fat soluable nutrients ( which is exactly what low saturated fat diets do) is somehow beneficial........Why do doctors giuve out such bad advice, especially about avoiding saturatd fat?
Those same healthful fat-soluble nutrients (vitamins A, D, E, K) are not only soluble in saturated fat.... they're also soluble in unsaturated fat! This unsaturated fat is much better for you than the saturated fat and can still carry the healthful nutrients. On top of that, most people are not eating too little fat in their diet, hence the more-oft hear recommendation to reduce fat intake.

Legal Advice about a policy at Work?
I have a question about the legality of a policy that my boss has enacted. Apparently, before I started here, my group was a little unruly. In order to curb that, my bosses enacted a policy of no talking, unless the conversation is work related. On my first day, I heard about it and said “What?!? That’s ridiculous!” But they have enforced that policy to the letter, even if you are doing your work while speaking, and it’s not that loud. Is that legal? I don’t see how it can be to restrict adults from speaking to their co-workers? If it’s not, what can I do about it?Legal Advice about a policy at Work?
Legally the majority of states will allow an employer to enact just about any rules, unless those rules are a means to discriminate. Discrimination is on the bases of sex, race, color, ethnic origin, religion, disability, military or marital status.
An example of this was the factory in Illinois that set up a rule for women workers that they could not leave the line for a washroom break and that they should wear adult diapers. The EEOC found this rule discriminatory. Had that rule covered all employees on the line, it would not have been illegal.
So, unless you can somehow tie the no-talking rule to some type of discrimination you cannot go the litigation route.
Personally, I would try to get the media involved in this. Nothing can frighten company management more than seeing the CNN cameras on your doorstep in the morning.Legal Advice about a policy at Work?
Well, I can't legally give legal advice since I am not a lawyer.
However I can tell you the law as I know it, in most states employers can make whatever rules they want. As long as they don't discriminate based on race, creed, sexual orientation ect, and don't amount to sexual harassment (can't make a rule requiring female to walk around nude or the like).
As I don't really see anything illegal about not letting you talk. A bit ridiculous maybe. Perhaps you could speak with your bosses boss or HR people?
Also, you might want to speak with an employment lawyer, every state is different and your state may have law about this
It is perfectly legal to enact any policy, but it could be challenged. It seems a little ridiculous. However, you should have been completely informed of the policy at your orientation. If you weren't, there could be a legal cause there. Also, those who have been fired or harassed because of the policy could have a claim against the company.
I actually know of a company that disallowed wearing any shoes other than black or brown and limited the height of the heels.
Sounds a bit like overkill, but, the only thing you can do is challenge it. If you live in a ';right to work'; State, you will probably get fired for your effort. They are paying for your work services, not your personality.

We are thinking about driving our car into Mexico. Any advice on auto insurance?
We are planning on being near the Mexican border and possibly driving into Mexico. What are the requirements for automobile insurance if I decide to drive into Mexico? Any other advice? I know, don't drink the water, Montezumas Revenge. Thanks for your answers.We are thinking about driving our car into Mexico. Any advice on auto insurance?
Wow ! There are some really wrong answers on here.
Believe or not, most standard insurance companies actually allow you to be covered in Mexico. It is an endorsement, so it will cost a little extra. They will usually cover you within 75 miles of the border. Call your agent and ask.We are thinking about driving our car into Mexico. Any advice on auto insurance?
American car insurance has no value in Mexico .You need to have a separate policy. Fortunately there are stores located along the border that sell Mexican insurance policies. AAA also sell it
You can't take a rental car into Mexico.
If your car isn't paid for and you don't have a free and clear title for it, then you will need permission from the leinholder to take the car into Mexico .Something about cars disappearing in Mexico and the Mexican government not exactly being 100%cooperative in helping the rightful owners recover their vehicles.
Use bank ATM machines for getting cash .
Carry a lot of small denominations in the event that you need to negotiate a ticket with the local cops .They tend to be a bit hesitant when it comes to making change
Another good reason to carry small denominations is that haggling for goods and services is part of the culture and having small denominations just gives you an edge -up in that process.
Lastly if you don't speak Spanish and you want to do a crash course in it , get a book on Latin American Spanish-not Castillian Spanish.
have fun
Although Mexican auto insurance in valid in the US, they don't return the favor and your insurance will be void in Mexico. You will have to get Mexican insurance coverage, available at many of the border crossings for you time there. Also, if you are stopped, do NOT hand your driver's license to the local police or you will have to pay them a bribe to get it back. Hold it to the inside of the window glass so they can read it, but don't let them get their hands on it.
If you have a limited liability insurance policy, it will not cover you into Mexico, but some carriers will provide a limited amount of coverage into Mexico. Ask your agent or better yet, read the policy they gave you when you took out your insurance.
Yeah, DON'T

I miss my dog so much that I can't think about buying another. Any advice?
I lost my dog last year in March. He was 11 years old and the best dog in the world. I'm not all silly and weepy about it generally but I always thought I'd have another dog at some point once he was gone but I can't even think about it because I just keep thinking that the next dog I have won't be a patch on my old pal.
What can I do to get over this silliness?I miss my dog so much that I can't think about buying another. Any advice?
I thought I wouldn't be able to get another dog after I lost my Lab to cancer, but my husband made me get another, he said that if I didn't I would have a breakdown, I got Amy another yellow Lab, she helped me with my grieving and helped fill the gap that Molly left, I have since got a chocolate Lab and she reminds me so much of Molly, she follows me everywhere and is always wanting cuddles, they will never replace her but they have helped me cope with her loss, the only trouble is, I know one day I will have to go through it again with these two, but the pleasure they bring me while they are here is worth the pain when they have gone, as they say, better to have loved and lost then never to have loved.
I hope one day you feel ready to let another dog into your heart and share your life.I miss my dog so much that I can't think about buying another. Any advice?
The best thing to do is go to a shelter and maybe foster an abandonned animal for a while. This will make you feel better and may spark your interest in owning again.
Oh and good luck with the being deceased problem ;)
losing a much loved dog is heartbreaking and you are never ever going to be able to replace him he was a one off unique even if you have the same breed he will not be like the dog you had. I find that getting over the loss of a dog is easier when you have another dog as it feels like something is missing when you do not have a dog. your next dog will not replace your old pal he or she will be different but just as lovely in their own special way try not to compare them to your old pal they are not, they are your new pal, they will bring you joy in the same way your old boy did, allow yourself the privilege of being a dog owner again try not to find a dog who looks too much like the old one so you are less likely to want to compare dogs like children are very different but all are lovely
I understand that you miss your baby. I'm very sorry you lost him.
But if you really want another dog, you can't adopt one and continue comparing it to your previous dog. It's a whole new doggy, not a better one, or a worse one, just a new one.
You should adopt again, but with a fresh outlook.
ONLY WAY is to NOT compare.
Just go to a pound/shelter/rescue org. and bond with a loving dog there.
WITH the objective to FILL the VOID and start anew, giving a permanent, attentive, loving home to a loyal grateful dog.
You will be rewarded tenfolds.
Gd. luck.
u cant i feel for u my best friend have losted her dog as will she cant get over it she cries everyday thinking about her dog she had had about 10 years she is always waiting for her to came back. I'm sorry for u!!!!!!!!!! i have a puppy called daisy and if she went missing i would never get over it she means the world to (she is the best dog as well my dog is clever she knows everything) I'm sorry for you lost.
When I lost my old dog I couldn't bare to think of getting another one of his breed. I knew I would always compare.
What I did do though, I went to another breed rescue group and adopted an older girl who had been abused and abandoned. It was the BEST thing I ever did, she helped me so much and I helped her.
Maybe you could think about rescuing a dog that needs you?
time is the only healer grieif takes a long time and there is no cure for that, you are grieving when my yorkie boy died in 2004 i did get another yorkie girl in dec 2004 and it helped a lot some people cannot get another have left mty favourite poem lend me a pup
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/teresa.bech鈥?/a>
I lost my 13 1/2 year old September before last! I was heartbroken he was the first dog I had ever had, I didnt want to get another one as I knew I could never replace him! but my family talked me in to getting another little puppy and he is a joy! he isnt my other little dog he has his own personality, some of the things he does we laugh at and say our Tim did that! but he does things that Tim didnt do they are different but the same if you know what I mean? I will never forget my first little dog and I dont want to. So when you feel you can go and look at another .I know my life wouldnt be the as happy without one.And I have a big Family.
You're not being silly. I lost my dog 18 months ago and I still miss him every day. My OH wanted another dog and I went along with it. Every one told me it would be fine once the puppy arrived. He's a lovely pup but I just feel guilty that I don't love him as much and we haven't bonded properly. Give yourself as much time as you need. You'll know when its the right time.
You are a great person to give a great home to a sheltered dog. Think how many wonderful years you gave to your dog and how many wonderful years he gave you, now pass that love onto another wonderful pet to love you back again.
Just take the plunge and get a new dog and maybe get a different one so you dont compare so much. It will be hard just like it is for Jack now but keep your head up chuck you will love the new one just as much but in a different way.
Time will heal it. Don't get a new one yet, get over the dead one first. Watch the ';Dog Whisperer'; instead.
I don't think it is about replacing the one you have lost - I think one of our biggest fears is that we feel as if we're forgetting what we had by ';replacing'; them with something new.
But is isn't about that - a new dog signifies something different, something new.
Take the opportunity to remember how much you loved your dog, and put that energy into loving another (not the same way because it may never be the same way) but in a new way.
By giving a dog a new home, and by providing that love you know you can provide would bring nothing but joy into your life. Maybe this is exactly what you need?
Time is the only thing that works. It took my MIL three years to be able to get another OES after hers had to be put down. She cried the first five times she saw our OES puppy. But now she has one of her own and is happy as ever, although she will always miss her other dog.
Get another dog, i was in the same shoes you are, and i finally got another dog and it helped so much! go to a shelter and adopt, those are the best dogs, but try to get a puppy so you know it is going to be raised right
It's not silliness. It's a deep seated emotion. Your dog wasn't just a ';dog';, he was a friend, a companion. He gave you unconditional love. The thing about our dogs, is that they don't care who we are or what we do, they love us anyway!
Over the years, I've had many dogs. After the death of each, I promised myself I wouldn't get another. Eventually (at different lengths of time) I chose to get another.......
None of them ';are a patch on my old pal'; - but each has become and old pal him/herself. It's not silly!
You'll know when the time is right. Meanwhile, why not volunteer at a local shelter or if there isn't one locally - how about volunteering at the local vets office (at either place you could walk dogs and give them a better day!)
You will know when - or IF - the time is right.
My heart goes out to you at your loss. A four-legged friend is the best kind of friend indeed!
I think that you have to think about your 11 year old dog , a puppy agaIN RUNNING around doggy heaven, he'd want you to be happy, and to have another friend
This is not silly and everyone's time for grief is different. Some people are ready in a few day and sometimes not for 2-3 yrs. One way to honor your old friend's memory would be to volunteer with a local shelter or foster for a rescue group. This might give you a chance to get to know other dogs without making a comparison and should you find that perfect companion in the process, you will know it your heart! Try these 2 sites and see if they have anything that will help: chancespot.org and petloss.com I wish more people loved their animals this much and then I wouldn't always have more rescues looking for new homes than is sane. BOL!
It`s not silly. A friend of ours has had dogs for the twenty years we have known her, at one time she had 4 together. Last year she had to have her 7 year old golden lab put to sleep, due to cancer, and although she loves our dog and treats him like she would her own( he always gets a treat when we visit and can get on the settee) she cannot bring herself to have another dog of her own.
She says that no other dog could replace her Goldie.
Its not silliness you need to get over. You're commiting your next 10-15 years to this animal and every dog has its own personallity. In my experience bitches give the most compasion and are more sensitive to their owners moods (I've had two dogs and one ***** (Hmm thank yahoo! from now own please read betch as the the female form of dog). Although no animal can replace your beloved dog, my advice would be to think about the benefits of betch. You could (only if you choose) have the joy of bringing puppies into the world, and you can always keep 1or two of them so you wont ever feel the same sadness of lossing such a great friend ever again -they will live on in their children.
It's not silliness. You loved your dog and at this point can't even consider trying to find another. You don't ever want to go through that feeling of loss and sadness ever again. You have a grieving process you'll go through. Eleven years is a long time to become attached to a dog. You see them everyday and they're always so happy to see you. How could you ever think of trying to replace a dog like that? You'll never find another one.
However, there will come a time when you accidently see another that you'll just have to have. Don't feel guilty about it - your dog always wanted you happy and would like to see you happy again. The dog won't be the same or even come close to the one you just lost ... it will be different, have a different personality but will love you so so much and be your life long friend. The puppy will melt his way into your heart and you'll wonder how you ever waited so long to find another. It won't be because you love your first any less ... you'll realize you can love the new puppy just as much as the last and the best thing is that you've just added even more love to your life!
Go to a shelter and visit the dogs there. If you volunteer to walk them, etc., you can get to know them, and maybe you'll find one that can fill up that empty space your old pal left. And you'll be doing a good thing for some animals that need you.
Rainbow Bridge
Somewhere just this side of heaven is Rainbow Bridge. When the dogs pass they go to play in lovely green fields, where the sun always shines and there are streams to splash about in and lots of other dogs to run around with. The happiness is never ending.
One day a dog playing in the grass with his friends stops and stares into the distance. He has seen someone and stares intently at this figure. He knows this person and when they approach he runs and jumps and barks with absolute joy. Then together they turn and walk over Rainbow Bridge....x
whatever dog u get wont replace him, you will have good memories of him, a new dog will give you he love and companion ship that you get from a pet, and you ll gather more memories with it, some similar but different,go for it. find another four legged friend.
Can it be that perhaps deep inside you know the answer to this question, but you need someone to reassure you that it's the right decision? You aren't being silly, and of course the next dog will be different. You're missing out on a lot the longer you wait. Go on, you know you want it!
get a cat
i lost my pup about 3 years ago in august...it took me 2 years...time
time only tells...its okay to be sad...its okay to want to wait...its okay
No dog will ever be close to being anything like your old dog, they were possibly the most loving and sweetest dog but they is another dog out there that would love to have you has their owner, one that has its own personality and will fill the void that the old dog left.
It will never replace your old dog but will help you overcome the loss that you feel. Go and check out some of the dog homes for your next companion. I am sure the perfect dog is just waiting for you.
Good luck
ask Colin fry or John Edwardsneutrogena

The dog won't be the same or even come close to the one you just lost ... it will be different, have a different personality but will love you so so much and be your life long friend. The puppy will melt his way into your heart and you'll wonder how you ever waited so long to find another. It won't be because you love your first any less ... you'll realize you can love the new puppy just as much as the last and the best thing is that you've just added even more love to your life!
Go to a shelter and visit the dogs there. If you volunteer to walk them, etc., you can get to know them, and maybe you'll find one that can fill up that empty space your old pal left. And you'll be doing a good thing for some animals that need you.
Rainbow Bridge
Somewhere just this side of heaven is Rainbow Bridge. When the dogs pass they go to play in lovely green fields, where the sun always shines and there are streams to splash about in and lots of other dogs to run around with. The happiness is never ending.
One day a dog playing in the grass with his friends stops and stares into the distance. He has seen someone and stares intently at this figure. He knows this person and when they approach he runs and jumps and barks with absolute joy. Then together they turn and walk over Rainbow Bridge....x
whatever dog u get wont replace him, you will have good memories of him, a new dog will give you he love and companion ship that you get from a pet, and you ll gather more memories with it, some similar but different,go for it. find another four legged friend.
Can it be that perhaps deep inside you know the answer to this question, but you need someone to reassure you that it's the right decision? You aren't being silly, and of course the next dog will be different. You're missing out on a lot the longer you wait. Go on, you know you want it!
get a cat
i lost my pup about 3 years ago in august...it took me 2 years...time
time only tells...its okay to be sad...its okay to want to wait...its okay
No dog will ever be close to being anything like your old dog, they were possibly the most loving and sweetest dog but they is another dog out there that would love to have you has their owner, one that has its own personality and will fill the void that the old dog left.
It will never replace your old dog but will help you overcome the loss that you feel. Go and check out some of the dog homes for your next companion. I am sure the perfect dog is just waiting for you.
Good luck

Need audition advice for Much Ado About Nothing?
I'm auditioning for a Shakespeare Festival, and we can only do one monologue. I'm leaning towards Agnes from the School for Wives, would that be a good choice? I'm going for Hero.Need audition advice for Much Ado About Nothing?
Were you specifically asked not to do a Shakespeare piece? For a Shakespeare show normally a Shakespeare audition piece is the norm. Although, given that it's a Shakespeare festival, they might just ask you for a classical piece.
So, I'd suggest a monologue from Shakespeare (unless you were told not to do one). Miranda from The Tempest is a young lover like Hero. She has a speech in her first scene with Ferdinand.

Since i know nothing about football, i will take advice. Did arsenal play with 10 men behind the ball last?
night, did they ';park the bus'; ?
If so how come all the pundits are saying MANCHESTER UNITED should have had a bag full of goals.
What was the fundamental difference bewteen the two semi-finals apart from entertainment ?Since i know nothing about football, i will take advice. Did arsenal play with 10 men behind the ball last?
It wasn't 10 - it was 11 behind the ball
Fabregas was supposed to be the inspiration - he was insipid
As for the difference between the two semis - while in both cases the away team went with the sole intention of drawing goalless, one of the home teams did scoreSince i know nothing about football, i will take advice. Did arsenal play with 10 men behind the ball last?
same as what happened with the 1st semi-final
not much difference between the 2 semi's
both were boring.Arsenal,but especially Chelsea ,showed NO desire whatsoever to win the game but instead were satisfied enough with just a draw .Arsenal tried to attack on a few occasions but we were just not good enough
BUT ,Man.utd had it a lot easier against Arsenal's brittle defense.we were more open,allowed you more space to go and score,you had more shots on goal which,if it werent for our goalkeeper ,you would have been 3-0 up
whereas Barcelona encountered difficulties in trying to get past Chelsea's strong defense hence why they couldnt score.
United are one step closer to reclaiming their title :). The main thing is we won so over all the teams we have the advantage for now.
It ain't over yet mind and I won't underestimate Arsenal despite their poor effort last night but their defence seems all over the place so i doubt goals will be TOO much of a problem. If we score 1st next Tuesday Arsenal will have a hard time catching up but I won't judge until the final whistle goes next Tuesday.
you right..you know nothing about football,i doubt arsenal played with the intention of 10 men behind the ball not with our dodgy defence,i admit we weren't good and utd had their chances to bury the game beyond belief but they didn't,it's only half time so don't assume it's over,we won't be that bad at the emirates that i can assure you
Yeah Chel$ki's bus is the same as Arsenal's school bus..... and besides you scored only ONE goal, just like Barca should if Henry got the penalty so.... go buy yourself a book ''Soccer for Dummies''!!!

What is your best advice for speaking to your teenager about long-term commitment without sex?
Have a 17 year old daughter who has been dating a young man for 10 months. They are both very much in love. We've been throught the birds and the bees long ago; this is way past that stage....I'm seeking advice on approaching and discussing this topic without invasion.What is your best advice for speaking to your teenager about long-term commitment without sex?
This is a somewhat simplistic approach, but it's a lesson that is easy to grasp.
Take a plain white piece of paper, a separate piece of paper (can be a note, photo or a postcard) and a thumb tack. When you and your daughter are alone, take these objects into a room with her. Ask her what a person usually does with a these items. Ask her to show you what to do with them. (She places the thumb tack into the note/photo/postcard and into the other paper pushing it all the way in (you may want a piece of cardboard behind the paper to hold it in).
Pause. Don't say anything for a second. She's going to be thinking that you've lost your mind, but don't rush it.
Then let her in on something that teens have a difficult time grasping - and that's the consequences of their actions.
You take the thumb tack out of both pieces of paper and say something to this effect:
If I don't need the note/photo/postcard anymore, what do it do with it? (Throw it away - Get rid of it) Once that is done, what is left? (thumb tack and white piece of paper) I'm done with the thumb tack, so it put it away, but there is still this piece of paper left. It was perfectly white and now it has a hole in it. It isn't a big mark, really, but it won't ever go away will it? That one small hole will always be in this piece of paper.
When you make a decision to do something, there is always a response of some kind to that choice. That response is called a consequence. In this case you pushed a thumb tack into a piece of paper and made a small hole.
Even though the hole may seem small, it will forever be there as a reminder of what happened. The consequence of pushing the thumb tack in is that the paper will always be marred from that point on. Nothing can change that.
So, too, is the impact of decisions on our lives. If you choose to do something, you may find that you have left a small hole in your life that will not ever go away. These choices may not seem big at the time, but they will forever affect the rest of your life.
You will always carry that one small hole around with you in your mind. Make choices that keep your heart and soul intact. One small hole can be a lifetime of regrets.What is your best advice for speaking to your teenager about long-term commitment without sex?
Explain to her that her first is someone she in never going to forget and should mean more than just her furst love. that men truly appreciate a woman who saves herself for marriage, and although guys love easy girls they never want to marry them. men appreciate woumen who are very discreet sexaullyand startign young will only lead to multiple aprtners before she decides to marry. Shed hate to give up her virginity to this boy only for him to move on, leaving her heartborken
Just do what my parents did don't tell her not to, don't ask if see has. Just explain to her the passable disadvantages and yes the advantages also explain it from your eyes and tell her she is approaching adult hood and this is one on a long list of hard decisions she will have to make. depending on you views encourage her to come to you before she decides to so that you can assist her with getting appropriate birth control. And ask if she has questions about sex and answer her honestly. she may not want to talk about it but she will respect your honesty when she is older if not now. Hope This Helps.
she's 17 and been with him for 10 months she has already had sex with him, and all u shud do is maybe say do u think its time to go on the birth control pill, or if she wants to go on the pill, don't sit her down and talk to her about sex and stuff, she's 17 not 12 and she's probably already slept with him many times!! and she is probably using protection and taking care of herself oviosuly having her mother on her asking wat to do she has a wonderful mother and been brought up just right!!
';gitter done'; just kidding. take her a put her on the pill unless you want to be a grandma.
I also have a 17 year old daughter who has a long-term boyfriend.
We believe in the Bible, and God. So my talk involves how God knows what is best for you as a Father. It's like telling a toddler not to play in the street. Yes, it may be fun, but it's dangerous. There is a time and place to play for a toddler, there is also a time and place for sex.
We are created to enjoy sex. But God also intended it for sex to be in a loving, commited relationship for life.
If you look at the statistics, the most satisfied sex is found in a marriage.
Sex is fun, but it is also dangerous in the wrong situation. Now there are so many STD's, that nobody is safe, even with a condom, nobody can say that a condom will protect 100%, nobody.
Tell your daughter that it is her body that you are trying to protect as a parent. She is precious, and that waiting is the best thing she can do, till she says I DO.
well dont tell her NOT to do something cause you know just as well as i do when you say dont they do. support her in the decisions that she makes and just explain the risks and things like that to her. let her know that if they are really in love than sex and all dosent really matter. i would get her on birth control cause honestly she either already has or will soon just speaking from a younger point of view i am 23 and can remember the things i did at 17
i just wanted to agree with (just me's) answer,we also believe in the BIBLE,she explained it very well.
I AM 17, my mother told me all about the ins and outs of sex, love and relationships. Theres no way you can tell a teenager that they can't have sex. The best thing to do would be to make sure she knows all about safe sex and the consequences of having unprotected sex eg, aids, herpes, warts and most importantly pregnancy. When i learnt about how much stuff you could get through sex and what could happen, i didn't have sex until i was absolutly ready and my mum was there to support me if i had any worries. She was great. :D Goodluck %26lt;3

Help please, I need advice about my cat?
My female cat is leaking a mucus like liquid from her butt, I took her to the vet and he gave me medicine to give her. I have been giving her the medicine, but it is almost gone and does not seem to be working. My vet is on vacation until March. Does anyone know what is going on with her, has anyone had this problem? Will she be ok? I am very worried.Help please, I need advice about my cat?
Your vet should have somebody he refers his clients to in case of an emergency. With him gone, make sure you take the medicine and anything else your first vet gave you to the second one so he can correctly perscribe something without it hurting your cat. Your cat is lucky you love her so!Help please, I need advice about my cat?
Find another vet. Doesn't sound really serious, but there's a chance it could be. Don't sit and wait!!
If your vet felt it was necessary to have medication and the medication hasn't worked, then she definately needs to be seen again. If he is gone until March, surely he has a substitute to care for his patients until he is back. If not, take her somewhere else. This isn't something that should be left untreated. Good luck!
Is there only one vet in your area? Even in small rural towns, most places will have more than one vet. I suggest you contact a different one. March is too long to wait. Sounds like the medicine is not working.
Call your vet's office in the morning and ask what they are doing for people who need to see the vet again. If they are referring to another vet, then call that vet and set up an appointment. Have the original vet fax over the records.
I would consult another vet, even if it's just for your peace of mind. Does yours have one who's filling in for him while he's on vacation?
it depends on what color it is
I'd get her to another vet for a second diagnosis. Your vet should have an on-call person you can go to...but I'd would get her in for a second looksie.

Can you give an advice about a vegetarian diet?what kind of meals must i eat to be strong enough?
There have been vegan Olympic gold medalists and vegan mothers that grow healthy human beings inside their bodies that stay vegan their entire life and stay healthy.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Lewis
http://www.eatright.org/cps/rde/xchg/ada鈥?/a>
If you want to increase muscle mass, It is recommended to eat 1 to 1.5 grams of protein per pound of lean body weight. The advantage is that vegetarians can get limitless protein with a fraction of the fat and extra calories of animal flesh. Their is only a disadvantage in price if you rely heavily on mock/fake meats for protein. TVP and vital wheat gluten can have way more protein per weight than meat and the key is learning to use them in an appealing way. TVP replaces ground beef in any recipe and gluten can be used in many forms.
--------------------------------------鈥?
If you want to become a lacto-ovo vegetarian, the transition should be quite simple. Almost all meats have widely available commercial replacements. All that you have to do is replace any flesh in your diet (beef, pork, poultry, seafood) with meat analogs or just leave it out altogether.
You should keep in mind that a journey such as this can be quite short but should just be the beginning of a longer one to a plant-based diet with no animal products. This is because of the reality of factory farming in which animals that are kept alive to produce milk, eggs, etc suffer much more and longer than animals that are raised to a certain weight and then slaughtered.http://www.veganoutreach.org/whyvegan/
http://meat.org
Some people use the word ';vegan'; in reference to this idea, but be aware that applying that label to yourself should always come with the inclusion of wise activism and advocacy.http://www.veganoutreach.org/advocacy/in鈥?/a>
Two extremely important examples of this are that you should never speak to someone about vegetarianism/veganism without their consent and genuine interest or as a comment on what they are eating AND your dietary beliefs should never be used as an introduction or explanation of who you are as a person. Veg*ism should be something that comes up AFTER people get to know you and they offer you a situation that makes it confusing to withhold the information/discussion. Also, if you are presented something that you choose not to eat or you are
ordering food/eating together somewhere/picking the best place to eat.
When you you hold off on the subject until it's necessary and then act like it isn't a big deal at all, people are usually surprised and WAY more interested and curious than if you were to bring it up when someone's eating or just using it as a conversation starter.
A responsible vegan ALWAYS studies the subject of their own health and how to keep their body completely provided for in every sense. http://www.veganhealth.org/sh
To neglect their body is to define a plant-based diet as unhealthy and is the opposite of helping the animals.
Just to clear things up, the vegetarian/vegan diet is not composed of salads, vegetables, fruit and fake meat. Fruits and vegetables are always important but they DO NOT make up the largest portion of any healthy diet.
A balanced plant-based diet includes grains(breads, pasta, rice,cereal), legumes(soy, beans, peas, lentils), fruit and vegetables.
http://www.pcrm.org/health/veginfo/vsk/f鈥?/a>
http://www.peta.org/accidentallyVegan/
http://www.veganoutreach.org/whyvegan/ea鈥?/a>
Being vegan can be an art, one whose challenge is to take things that involve the suffering of the innocent and change them into something free of cruelty.
A vegan woman can create an ENTIRELY NEW,HEALTHY HUMAN BEING INSIDE OF HER. Many of these children stay vegan and grow up to be perfectly healthy adults. So just keep yourself educated about what you eat and don't let anyone tell you that a veg diet is lacking anything essential.
Technically the term ';vegetarian'; does imply that you don't consume anything that comes from the body of an animal that requires killing it. Many ingredients such as gelatin and glycerin are found in many candies, Fig-Newtons, and many of other foods as well as rennet found in many cheeses.
http://www.happycow.net/health-animal-in鈥?/a>
The best thing to remember is to take your time so that for example: when you are comfortable not eating beef and pork you can then give up chicken when you are sure you can make the commitment permanently.
Depending on your age or reliance on parents or regional options, it may not be best to give yourself a label. The important thing is to do your best to make progress and be committed to your compassion towards animals. Never put your focus onto what you or other people use to describe yourself.
If you meet someone that talks down to people for eating meat, dairy, etc or to you because they think they are ';more veg'; than you, laugh in their face and tell them they are a disgrace to the entire philosophy. People like this only hurt the idea of veg*ism AND the animals. The point of all of this is to live compassionately and and as free from cruelty as you can, all the while maintaining your health and a positive attitude. People who don't maintain either, need not open their mouths and represent our beliefs.
If you actually choose to read all of this, I hope it helps. If not, feel free to e-mail me if you have questions.

I'm vegan and these are some of my favorite things to eat:
Breakfast: bananas, cream of wheat with brown sugar and soy butter, cereal, pancakes or french toast with real maple syrup, vegan ';sausage'; patties, smoothies.
Lunch: VEGAN ';SAUSAGE'; SANDWICHES, sandwiches with vegan deli slices(Tofurkey is the only one that's kinda funky), fruit, dinner leftovers, couscous salad, vegan sushi, potato or pasta salad.
Dinner: sloppy joes, ';sausage'; and gravy with homemade biscuits, Spaghetti and Trader Joe's ';meatballs'; or TVP, lasagna, Thai pad see ew, pad khi mao(drunkard's noodles), pad prig king, tofu+eggplant with basil sauce, yellow thai curry with tofu or vegan chikn and veggies and jasmine rice, Indian dal with homemade roti or dosai, channa masala, aloo gobi, vegetable or minestrone soup, pizza, STEAMED ';PORK'; BUNS with potstickers or spring rolls, sweet%26amp;sour/orange/lemon chikn, vegan pho or wonton soup

A healthy vegetarian diet consists primarily of plant-based foods, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seed. Because the emphasis is on nonmeat food sources, a vegetarian diet generally contains less fat and cholesterol, and typically includes more fiber.
Vegetarians fall into groups defined by the types of animal-derived foods they eat:
Vegans eliminate all foods from animals, including meat, poultry, fish, milk, eggs and cheese. They eat only plant-based foods.
Lacto-vegetarians consume milk and milk products along with plant-based foods. They omit eggs as well as meat, fish and poultry.
Lacto-ovo vegetarians omit red meat, fish and poultry but eat eggs, milk and milk products, such as cheese and yogurt, in addition to plant-based foods.
To keep your vegetarian diet on track, you may find using a vegetarian food pyramid helpful. This pyramid outlines various food groups and food choices that, if eaten in the right quantities, form the foundation of a healthy vegetarian diet.
Meatless products, such as tofu dogs, soy burgers, nut loaves or texturized vegetable protein, add variety to your vegetarian diet. These products, found in many grocery stores and health food markets, simulate the taste and texture of meat and usually have less fat and fewer calories. Many of the meatless products, such as tofu or tempeh, are made from soybeans.
If you follow a vegan diet, you may need to find alternatives for eggs and dairy products. Try these suggestions when meal planning or cooking:
Milk. Drink fortified soymilk, rice milk or almond milk in place of cow's milk.
Butter. When sauteing, use olive oil, water, vegetable broth, wine or nonfat cooking spray instead of butter. In baked goods, use canola oil.
Cheese. Use soy cheese or nutritional yeast flakes, which are available in health food stores.
Eggs. In baked goods, try commercial egg replacers 鈥?a dry product made mostly of potato starch. Or you can use the following to replace one egg: 1/4 cup whipped tofu or 1 tablespoon milled flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons of water. For an egg-free omelet try using tofu instead of eggs.

Ensuring adequate nutrition
The more restrictive a diet is, the more difficult it is to get all the nutrients your body needs. A vegan diet, for example, eliminates food sources of vitamin B-12, as well as milk products, which are a good source of calcium. Other nutrients, such as iron and zinc, are available in a meatless diet, but you need to make an extra effort to ensure they're in yours.
Here are nutrients that may be deficient in a vegetarian diet and how you can get these nutrients from nonmeat sources:
Protein. Your body needs protein to maintain healthy skin, bones, muscles and organs. Vegetarians who eat eggs or dairy products have convenient sources of protein. Other sources of protein include soy products, meat substitutes, legumes, lentils, nuts, seeds and whole grains.
Calcium. This mineral helps build and maintain strong teeth and bones. Low-fat dairy foods and dark green vegetables, such as spinach, turnip and collard greens, kale, and broccoli are good sources of calcium. Tofu enriched with calcium and fortified soymilk and fruit juices are other options.
Vitamin B-12. Your body needs vitamin B-12 to produce red blood cells and prevent anemia. This vitamin is found almost exclusively in animal products, including milk, eggs and cheese. Vegans can get vitamin B-12 from some enriched cereals, fortified soy products or by taking a supplement that contains this vitamin.
Iron. Like vitamin B-12, iron is a crucial component of red blood cells. Dried beans and peas, lentils, enriched cereals, whole-grain products, dark, leafy green vegetables, and dried fruit are good sources of iron. To help your body absorb non-animal sources of iron, eat foods rich in vitamin C 鈥?such as strawberries, citrus fruits, tomatoes, cabbage and broccoli 鈥?at the same time you consume iron-containing foods.
Zinc. This mineral is an essential component of many enzymes and plays a role in cell division and in the formation of proteins. Good sources of zinc include whole grains, soy products, nuts and wheat germ.
The key to a healthy vegetarian diet 鈥?or any diet for that matter 鈥?is to enjoy a wide variety of foods. Since no single food provides all of the nutrients that your body needs, eating a wide variety helps ensure that you get the necessary nutrients and other substances that promote good health.

Healthy diet: Do you know what to eat?
Start with what you know
If you're thinking of switching to a vegetarian diet but aren't sure how to begin, start with what you already know. Make a list of meals you prepare on a regular basis. Some of these may already be meat-free, such as spaghetti or vegetable stir-fry. Next, pick out dishes that could easily become meat-free with a couple of substitutions. For example, you can make vegetarian chili by leaving out the ground beef and adding an extra can of black beans or soy crumbles. Or make fajitas using extra-firm tofu rather than chicken. You may be surprised to find that some dishes require only simple substitutions.
Once you have compiled a list of vegetarian meals, add new meal ideas. Buy or borrow vegetarian cookbooks. Scan the Internet for vegetarian menus or for tips about making meatless substitutions. Check out ethnic restaurants to sample new vegetarian cuisine. The more variety you bring to your vegetarian diet, the better the chance you'll meet all your nutritional needs.
No matter what your age or situation, a well-planned vegetarian diet can meet your nutritional needs. Even children and teenagers can do well on a plant-based diet, as can older people, and pregnant or breast-feeding women. If you're unsure whether a vegetarian diet is right for you, talk to your doctor or a registered dietitian.Can you give an advice about a vegetarian diet?what kind of meals must i eat to be strong enough?
I subscribe to a magazine called Vegetarian Times. They have some really good recipes in there.

Eat a variety of grains, nuts, beans, fruits, and veggies, and you'll get all the nutrients you need. Faux meats are also great for protein. Good luck.

If you want to increase muscle mass, It is recommended to eat 1 to 1.5 grams of protein per pound of lean body weight. The advantage is that vegetarians can get limitless protein with a fraction of the fat and extra calories of animal flesh. Their is only a disadvantage in price if you rely heavily on mock/fake meats for protein. TVP and vital wheat gluten can have way more protein per weight than meat and the key is learning to use them in an appealing way. TVP replaces ground beef in any recipe and gluten can be used in many forms.
--------------------------------------鈥?
If you want to become a lacto-ovo vegetarian, the transition should be quite simple. Almost all meats have widely available commercial replacements. All that you have to do is replace any flesh in your diet (beef, pork, poultry, seafood) with meat analogs or just leave it out altogether.
You should keep in mind that a journey such as this can be quite short but should just be the beginning of a longer one to a plant-based diet with no animal products. This is because of the reality of factory farming in which animals that are kept alive to produce milk, eggs, etc suffer much more and longer than animals that are raised to a certain weight and then slaughtered.http://www.veganoutreach.org/whyvegan/
http://meat.org
Some people use the word ';vegan'; in reference to this idea, but be aware that applying that label to yourself should always come with the inclusion of wise activism and advocacy.http://www.veganoutreach.org/advocacy/in鈥?/a>
Two extremely important examples of this are that you should never speak to someone about vegetarianism/veganism without their consent and genuine interest or as a comment on what they are eating AND your dietary beliefs should never be used as an introduction or explanation of who you are as a person. Veg*ism should be something that comes up AFTER people get to know you and they offer you a situation that makes it confusing to withhold the information/discussion. Also, if you are presented something that you choose not to eat or you are
ordering food/eating together somewhere/picking the best place to eat.
When you you hold off on the subject until it's necessary and then act like it isn't a big deal at all, people are usually surprised and WAY more interested and curious than if you were to bring it up when someone's eating or just using it as a conversation starter.
A responsible vegan ALWAYS studies the subject of their own health and how to keep their body completely provided for in every sense. http://www.veganhealth.org/sh
To neglect their body is to define a plant-based diet as unhealthy and is the opposite of helping the animals.
Just to clear things up, the vegetarian/vegan diet is not composed of salads, vegetables, fruit and fake meat. Fruits and vegetables are always important but they DO NOT make up the largest portion of any healthy diet.
A balanced plant-based diet includes grains(breads, pasta, rice,cereal), legumes(soy, beans, peas, lentils), fruit and vegetables.

http://www.veganoutreach.org/whyvegan/ea鈥?/a>
Being vegan can be an art, one whose challenge is to take things that involve the suffering of the innocent and change them into something free of cruelty.
A vegan woman can create an ENTIRELY NEW,HEALTHY HUMAN BEING INSIDE OF HER. Many of these children stay vegan and grow up to be perfectly healthy adults. So just keep yourself educated about what you eat and don't let anyone tell you that a veg diet is lacking anything essential.
Technically the term ';vegetarian'; does imply that you don't consume anything that comes from the body of an animal that requires killing it. Many ingredients such as gelatin and glycerin are found in many candies, Fig-Newtons, and many of other foods as well as rennet found in many cheeses.
http://www.happycow.net/health-animal-in鈥?/a>
The best thing to remember is to take your time so that for example: when you are comfortable not eating beef and pork you can then give up chicken when you are sure you can make the commitment permanently.
Depending on your age or reliance on parents or regional options, it may not be best to give yourself a label. The important thing is to do your best to make progress and be committed to your compassion towards animals. Never put your focus onto what you or other people use to describe yourself.
If you meet someone that talks down to people for eating meat, dairy, etc or to you because they think they are ';more veg'; than you, laugh in their face and tell them they are a disgrace to the entire philosophy. People like this only hurt the idea of veg*ism AND the animals. The point of all of this is to live compassionately and and as free from cruelty as you can, all the while maintaining your health and a positive attitude. People who don't maintain either, need not open their mouths and represent our beliefs.
If you actually choose to read all of this, I hope it helps. If not, feel free to e-mail me if you have questions.

A healthy vegetarian diet consists primarily of plant-based foods, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seed. Because the emphasis is on nonmeat food sources, a vegetarian diet generally contains less fat and cholesterol, and typically includes more fiber.
Vegetarians fall into groups defined by the types of animal-derived foods they eat:
Vegans eliminate all foods from animals, including meat, poultry, fish, milk, eggs and cheese. They eat only plant-based foods.
Lacto-vegetarians consume milk and milk products along with plant-based foods. They omit eggs as well as meat, fish and poultry.
Lacto-ovo vegetarians omit red meat, fish and poultry but eat eggs, milk and milk products, such as cheese and yogurt, in addition to plant-based foods.
To keep your vegetarian diet on track, you may find using a vegetarian food pyramid helpful. This pyramid outlines various food groups and food choices that, if eaten in the right quantities, form the foundation of a healthy vegetarian diet.
Meatless products, such as tofu dogs, soy burgers, nut loaves or texturized vegetable protein, add variety to your vegetarian diet. These products, found in many grocery stores and health food markets, simulate the taste and texture of meat and usually have less fat and fewer calories. Many of the meatless products, such as tofu or tempeh, are made from soybeans.
If you follow a vegan diet, you may need to find alternatives for eggs and dairy products. Try these suggestions when meal planning or cooking:
Milk. Drink fortified soymilk, rice milk or almond milk in place of cow's milk.
Butter. When sauteing, use olive oil, water, vegetable broth, wine or nonfat cooking spray instead of butter. In baked goods, use canola oil.
Cheese. Use soy cheese or nutritional yeast flakes, which are available in health food stores.
Eggs. In baked goods, try commercial egg replacers 鈥?a dry product made mostly of potato starch. Or you can use the following to replace one egg: 1/4 cup whipped tofu or 1 tablespoon milled flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons of water. For an egg-free omelet try using tofu instead of eggs.

Meatless recipes
Ensuring adequate nutrition
The more restrictive a diet is, the more difficult it is to get all the nutrients your body needs. A vegan diet, for example, eliminates food sources of vitamin B-12, as well as milk products, which are a good source of calcium. Other nutrients, such as iron and zinc, are available in a meatless diet, but you need to make an extra effort to ensure they're in yours.
Here are nutrients that may be deficient in a vegetarian diet and how you can get these nutrients from nonmeat sources:
Protein. Your body needs protein to maintain healthy skin, bones, muscles and organs. Vegetarians who eat eggs or dairy products have convenient sources of protein. Other sources of protein include soy products, meat substitutes, legumes, lentils, nuts, seeds and whole grains.

Feminists moms, your wealthy son comes to you for advice on financial matters about marriage?
What advice to you give him?Feminists moms, your wealthy son comes to you for advice on financial matters about marriage?
Not a mom, but here you go:
=find someone who doesn't need your money
=never make money so important that you have to choose between it and the people you love
=never show your money to induce anyone to do anything, unless they are clearly working for you [be clear about who are your friends and who are your employees]
=never speak about your personal wealth with anyone except those who need to know
=have a modest wedding as a party for friends and family, not as a show for others to envy
=keep your wife happy, but make her responsible for managing her money wisely. teach her or provide her with education if she needs it. there may come a day when she will need to back you up
=always keep an emergency fund, about a years worth of expenses. keep a vacation fund as wellFeminists moms, your wealthy son comes to you for advice on financial matters about marriage?
I wish I'd been told by my dad that I was going to inherit stocks and a farm so I wouldn't have been so clueless about managing it (I ended up selling it 3 years ago but regret it a bit now). I will give my children financial advice to the best of my abilities but I will encourage them to take a class at school.
I will assume that he is marrying a professional woman who has a career on a par with his. Both will be earning good $$ and can afford a nanny. I would still advise a pre nup so that the parties are clear what will happen when they split.
If he is a professional and she is a hooker than he certainly needs a pre nup ha ha
I'd advise my wealthy (step)son to speak to his father, because his stepmother is clueless and his mother is batshytt crazy. The kid is going to be loaded someday and I'm not going to risk giving him advice. His dad can teach him what to do.
Cover your assets would be my advice.I would tell both my sons and my daughters to make sure they had a pre nup. Divorce is something that happens far to frequently.
I would tell my child, regardless of gender, to get a prenup if the wedding was fast (they hadn't known each other for long) or if I had my doubts about the young man or woman.
Pre-nup and/or separate accounts, joint solely for *join* expenses. But that account you contribute and draw from *equally.*
Get a pre-nup....and I'd say the same for the daughter, too.
dnt get marred!!

Any advice on what to do about side effects of tobacco withdrawl?
My boyfriend is trying to quit chewing tobacco. He is having a very hard time with the with-drawl symptoms. (anger; moodiness; irritability) Any help would be appreciated.Any advice on what to do about side effects of tobacco withdrawl?
good for him! They're also nicotine which is what he's trying to get away from. Suggest he drink lots of water, exercise and stay focused on the reasons he wants to quit. What ever he does, don't start focusing on using again. Any advice on what to do about side effects of tobacco withdrawl?
Get him the patch, it will replace the nicotine he's withdrawing from and gradually lower the level until he's weaned off from it. Quitting chewing is just as hard as quitting smoking!
It can also help to keep suckers, life savers, something in your purse for him to substitute for his chew, so his mouth still has something to do. Kiss him a lot and tell him how wonderful it is and how irresistible he is with the tobacco taste gone. If he's really having a hard time, a doctor can give him antidepressants to help him get past the first few months; I know Wellbutrin works well for some folks . . . .
I don't know about chewing tobacco. I was a smoker for almost three decades. I started smoking since my teens in the early 70s when it was the fashion of the day and a ';sign of civilization.'; If you watch those days films, smoking was allowed even in conference halls. I watched 13 days about the Cuba missile crisis, the big guys of the day were smoking during all their meetings discussing all options. Even the girls of the day were not interested to date a non smoker. Now, it is out of fashion. We are deceived for decades. Now, it is known smoking kills. In USA 435,000 persons are dying due to smoking. Smoking affects your social life. Many employers don't want to employ smokers. Universities are reluctant to give scholarship to smokers. Hotels are even reluctant to book rooms for smokers. Hotels have designated poorly equipped rooms and nearer to the kitchen and toilet for smokers. Go to any hotel they ask you whether or not you are a smoker. Smokers are these days regarded as mentally unstable, of weak character, depressed etc. Why should you suffer so much because of an extra habit which has no use except destroying your health, your social life, and your economy. The withdrawal effect you are currently worried about is very minor, insignificant and transient. It is too temporary. I suggest you visit the following website http://www.smokefree.gov/resources.html and download the free material that will help you tremendously. It helped me to give up smoking. I was like a chimney, smoking over two packs a day. It is now well over a year since I quited smoking.
1. Decide on a stopping date. Tell others when it will be so they can encourage you.
2. Throw all your cigarettes and any related items such as your lighter or matches away. Do not put them where you can get them again ';if you need them';.
3. Do not drink or use any beverages or medicines that contain caffeine or alcohol. During the time you are trying to break your cigarette habit, using any other addicting substances will cause you to be less successful. In addition, this is a good time to strongly consider giving these habits up also, as they are strong stimulants to smoking.
4. Drink plenty of water and juices during the first week you are quitting. Try to drink at least 6 glasses of water per day. Getting the nicotine out of your system is helped with increased amounts of drinks that do not contain caffeine or alcohol.
5. At any time during the day that you are at work and crave a cigarette, take a drink of water and go for a 10-20 minute walk. If you are at home, take a cool shower. It is difficult to smoke while in the shower.
6. Eat simple foods such as salads, fruits, vegetables, and whole wheat breads. Avoid overly spicy and rich foods because they may contribute to the craving for a cigarette. Avoid foods made with white flour, white rice and refined foods. Without the complete vitamins, especially B vitamins, the body often develops cravings.
7. Do not skip breakfast and then go for a ';coffee break';. This is a sure time to need a cigarette. Instead, eat a hearty breakfast of cereals, fruit and whole-wheat toast. Avoid high fat foods such as bacon and eggs and pastries.
8. Go to bed early. An adequate rest may naturally help to reduce the need for a cigarette to keep you calm.
9. Thoroughly air out your house; sleep with the windows open.
10. Don't wish that you could have ';just one more smoke';. Remember that you have just given up a disgusting habit that could kill you, and gained a freedom that will be with you for life, and improve your health dramatically.
11. If someone knows that you smoked in the past and offers you a cigarette, tell them that you are an ex-smoker. This reinforces your decision to be a non-smoker.
12. Ask God to help you. Many people fail at quitting smoking, but God honors those who trust in Him and he will supply all your needs, and help you overcome this habit if you ask Him.
When I quit smoking, when this came upon me I took off running. Not only was it good for my lungs and vascular system, but gave me a release from the symptoms. I would run until I was completely out of breath...( did a lot of running ! ).
Prayer helps...

Paste car wax, any experienced or knowledgeable experts out there with advice about paste wax for cars?
Depends on what you want to know, lol. I personally prefer liquid to paste, but it took me a little while to get used to. I started using liquid because we had a car with a single stage paint job and one with base/clear and the single stage car was shedding color into the paste wax. The best part of liquid is nothing can fall into it that could end up on the applicator and scratch the paint.
Here's a nice write up on detailing, maybe it can help answer the questions you have: http://www.squidoo.com/showcardetailingPaste car wax, any experienced or knowledgeable experts out there with advice about paste wax for cars?
New or old car? All new cars are clear coated and you should choose a wax that says 'Clear coat safe';. If the finish looks dull or scratched (dullness and swirls like on so many dark colored cars are just fine scratches) you may need a buffing compound like Dupont 101, Acme 50, 3M Super Heavy Duty before waxing.
The secret to a mirror-shiny finish is using incrementally finer grit abrasives until there are no more visible scratches! Wet-n-dry 1200 grit sandpaper is slightly less coarse then brasso metal polish! (really!) Rubbing compound is next, then buffing compound, then scratch remover products, then past waxes. If you use paste wax on a dry pad, you will dull and scratch your shine!
If your car is not scratched or swirled or faded or stained, I would say use liquid wax which is still abrasive, but generally less so! Keep your pad or rag damp and switch to a clean one often.
Have fun!

New or old car? All new cars are clear coated and you should choose a wax that says 'Clear coat safe';. If the finish looks dull or scratched (dullness and swirls like on so many dark colored cars are just fine scratches) you may need a buffing compound like Dupont 101, Acme 50, 3M Super Heavy Duty before waxing.
The secret to a mirror-shiny finish is using incrementally finer grit abrasives until there are no more visible scratches! Wet-n-dry 1200 grit sandpaper is slightly less coarse then brasso metal polish! (really!) Rubbing compound is next, then buffing compound, then scratch remover products, then past waxes. If you use paste wax on a dry pad, you will dull and scratch your shine!
If your car is not scratched or swirled or faded or stained, I would say use liquid wax which is still abrasive, but generally less so! Keep your pad or rag damp and switch to a clean one often.
Have fun!
ps- I use good old fashioned turtle Super Hard Shell Car Wax!

Advice about shaving the southern region?
whenever I shave i get red spots even though I use shaving cream. Why does that happen? Is there a remedy to make them go away?
Thank you!!Advice about shaving the southern region?
My advise is WAX.Advice about shaving the southern region?
Most of the time, if you're not careful, you can end up with a nasty rash or a case of razor burn. Even if you use shaving cream. The trick is to be very very gentle.
Apply the shaving cream, take the razor and go VERY SLOWLY and VERY GENTLY - don't press - downwards. Gently, slowly. This ensures a proper shave, too. Afterwards, exfoliate. And very importantly, moisturize - shaving, even with shaving cream, still requires moisturizing to prevent dryness and rash. Use a good quality moisturizer that doesn't have anything that could irritate your skin - nothing like lavender or lanolin.
So it's pretty easy. Gentle, slow, exfoliate, moisturize.
i would stop using the cream as its having a reaction and shave more often the more you shave the more your body gets use to it and the redness will go.
They do have creams for ';bikini rash'; at drugstores. Also, when your your taking on your southern region I recommend getting yourself soaked in hot/warm water first.
Maybe try not to use the cream-that might be causing it? If they don't hurt then just sort of live with it and see if they stop over time(if you've only just started). Hope this helps :)
wax. well seriously got put hair there for a reason! keep it there! who cares its not like your going around naked or something!
well i hope that helps!

If some one were to write a book about their life then put advice to help others would people read it?
I'm 19 years old and I have always wanted to write a book about my life and then I wanted to put advice or how to deal with those situations or what I would have done do you think people would actually find a book like this interesting?If some one were to write a book about their life then put advice to help others would people read it?
I think that you are to young to be dealing out advice, no offense.A better idea for you might be to interview older people who have been there/done that and see how they dealt with situations. Then compile that into a book.
Good Luck.If some one were to write a book about their life then put advice to help others would people read it?
of course you should continue to explore life as your own journey.. ppl need your age group opinions that are going through the same cultural experiences... Your age groups loves a great read from their (your) era!! you go guy!!!
no.people learn by their own mistakes and experiences.
I am sure people would read it. Advice books are very popular. Not only does real life make interesting reading the best way to learn is through experience even someone else's. I wish you all the luck in your writings.
I say go for it! Start putting your ideas down on paper! There's always something out there for everyone, and I know there's someone else out there who would benefit from your experiences. Don't ever let people tell you you can't do something or hold you back from something you feel strongly about - if you feel you've got something to say, especially if you think it could help people, then go and say it! I think it's a fantastic idea, and you never know where it may take you. Books are journeys, both for the writer and the reader, so go ahead and tell us your story and hopefully you will gain much more than you bargained for!
Wait until you've had some more life experience. At 19, you are still green, but I digress...
I'm sure people who love self help books would go for it.
the thing is that. anyone can write a book and fill it with really good adviec, but what gets people to read books is the ability to make a compelling story.
your life story would make an interesting read. but if you don't put it in a way that's simple, sincere, and engulfing, people might not want to read it.
I would. Any self-help information is great to read. Especially if the person is writing about things that are similar to their life. Good luck on this. Writing is very theraputical and if you're not helping someone else. You could very well be helping yourself. Take care.
Perhaps the only way to find out is to do publish it and see. However any story is worth reading in some fashion.

I need some advice about being in love with a Schizophrenia.?
I really like this guy, who is my neighbor, but ;he has a mental illness. He has turned my patio furniture upside down, has stolen my decorative flag on the front porch, when he comes into my home he knocks over things and says '; Look what the cats did';. I have lived with my cats for yrs. They do not usually knock over things in the home. He knocked over my box cars --train set. I have not actually wittenessed him doing these things, but; he was the only one in my home during those times. He appears to be very attention seeking! I am in love with him. What should I do? Tell him to get lost?I need some advice about being in love with a Schizophrenia.?
Have you ever felt differently towards him when he's knocked over your things? Like annoyed maybe? Even anger? If you have...I would question myself if I could handle a gf/bf relationship with him. It can be very frustrating at times, I know, because my grandmother is also schizophrenic...and my mother has had to look after her all of her life..literally, and made it even harder when my grandpa left my grandma. I'm not saying never date a schizophrenic..but I'm saying there will more than likely be problems. Good luck.I need some advice about being in love with a Schizophrenia.?
So that is how to get a girl? Turn up patio furniture, steal,
and knock over stuff. I always thought it was flowers n candy
As is usual with descriptions of schizophrenics the pictures presented are stereotypes. The behavior you have described does not include symptoms of schizophrenia. They sound more like a clumsy young man. Schizophrenia is not ';a disease'; but a whole spectrum of disorders. The 4 answers preceding this carried on the negative stereotyping of a schizophrenia victim.
If you truly love the guy I suggest first familiarize yourself with schizophrenia and the possible behaviors associated with the disorders. Do not listen to the stereotypes that are passed around by the general public and media as characterizing these people. In actuality the schizophrenics I have known are not much different than normal people once they have gotten over the acute stages of the disorders.
More can be found out about the spectrum of disorders commonly known as schizophrenia just by typing in ';schizophrenia'; into Yahoo web search. A number of links comes up. Wikipedia has a good summary as does the NIMH. If you want to know what a psychiatrist looks for in diagnosing a patient as schizophrenic, type DSM-IVR in yahoo web search and look in that manual (The diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders) under the headings of schizophrenia.
Concentrate on why you love him not what might be wrong with him. Good luck, good health to both of you, peace and love!
Its okay to love him but a true schizo is on his way to suicide. If he is on pills he will soon be very dull.
Well, just because he has a mental illness doesn't mean that he has a free pass to be an obnoxious bastard. Tell him that you know he's doing this and that it is really annoying. Perhaps he doesn't like your cats and is trying to get you to get rid of them! Anyway, speak to him about his behavior like you would with anyone else. It's likely he'll stop. If he doesn't, well, you've got a choice to make. Will you continue to support this man and his maddness or leave him alone?neutrogena

Help need some advice about my german shepherd?

It sounds as if it might be Cherry Eye which is a condition which does occur in German Shepherds.
http://www.upei.ca/cidd/Diseases/ocular%鈥?/a>
Less likely that it could be Pannus.
Take him to another vet for a second opinion.
http://www.upei.ca/cidd/Diseases/ocular%鈥?/a>Help need some advice about my german shepherd?
Personally I would contact the rescue center direct, and surely if the problem was there went you first adopted him, the responsability partly lays with them.
Can I also say, that your question would be an awful lot easier to read if you used punctuation marks. Sorry to be picky but I had to read it at least 2 or 3 times to make any sense of it.
I would find another vet and keep looking untill I got an answer from someone . it does not seem like your vet has an answer and he or she is just guessing at this . I would not wait it could mean your dogs eyesight ,. good luck .
Personally,I'd get him to another vet asap.
Vets are people.People make mistakes.Especially when they're overworked and burned out.
A second opinion is never a bad idea.

wow that answer that u picked was actually very simple yet so enlightening to me
';If what you have to say about a person is such that you wouldn't say it to their face, keep it to yourself. After all, do you like people saying ugly about you when you're not around?';
';Always be kind to others; even if they are not kind in return.';
';Have compassion on those who are less fortunate.';
';Be true to who you are and do not allow people to have a negative influence on you.';
';Don't be too sensitive. Everyone makes mistakes including you.';
Hello, If he is faster than you shout from a very long way.lol Above all have a profession that you really enjoy as it's a lifespan task. Don't spend more than you earn, don't be taken in by what others have got because all that glitters is not gold, on the way up help them that you past as you will want them on the way back ';maybe';. Try not to keep all your eggs in one basket, greet with a smile';even with that hangover'; you will be s*hit on a few times keep those who do it close than you see it coming next time.
Experience EVERYTHING you have a chance to experience, you'll regret the things you never done.
Live in the moment, yesterdays gone nothing you can do about it, Tomorrow's not here why worry about it, Live for today and do all you can do, be all you can be, and have fun with life.................................
Things may seem safe may not be so. The Lehman case is a good example when you put the full trust in the banks, you throw almost all of your life saving into it so that the earning will get through the later part of your life. Pity for those who done so. What I wish to bring out is, do not put all or invest all saving in one trust of bank. Spread it out. Banks are no longer safe. Properties may not be safe and it can depreciate all of a sudden. Do not be greedy. Do not trust and put money into organisation that promise impossible good returns.
Don't make your job your life and don't live for it. Of course, do the best to your abilities, but don't sell your soul to any company.
Don't stay at any company if you feel you're stagnating.
Create a life outside the workplace.
Know what you're capable of doing, but don't be afraid to take risks. Even if the risk you've made is a mistake, it's part of the growing process of life.
It's always dark before the dawn. Trust in the dawn.
When one door closes another one will open wider.
Don't be afraid to explore new adventures. Challenge yourself.
*Everything heals in time whether you want to believe it or not!
*Friendship is the key to true love
*personality is better than looks,but you still need sparks
*Do not Judge others
*Happiness comes from within
*It's always worth it to live!!
*Some friendships aren't forever,choose your friendships wisely
*Believe in yourself
*in the end only your opinion matters
Don't jump too quick. Find things that make you happy. Choose your soul mate carefully. Love yourself. Don't set goals too high. Have faith that you know what you are doing. Be forgiving. Never judge.Don't take things for granted. Be kind but not humble. Helpful but not become a rug. Don't make a decision before thinking it over. You don't have to love or like anyone but never hate. Try to be honest in everything. That little white lie you tell to spare someone won't send you to hell. Be smart, be kind to yourself, take care of yourself. There is no promise of a happy life. Happy New Year. Poppy
Be respectful, honest, and truthful to yourself, and about yourself. Doing this draws others who think and feel the same to you. One last big one. if you are with someone, don't cheat on them. If you have fallen out of love with them break it off before you start a relationship with someone else. Basically it all boils down to, treat others as you wish to be treated.

Be kind and compassionate to other people. Especially those close to you. I have so many regrets about times that I was too harsh or when I kept walking instead of stopping and offering a hand, or simply a kind word and a smile.
Hug your family often and tell them how much you love them because one day they will be gone and it'll be too late to say the things you were always ';going to';.

Things may seem safe may not be so. The Lehman case is a good example when you put the full trust in the banks, you throw almost all of your life saving into it so that the earning will get through the later part of your life. Pity for those who done so. What I wish to bring out is, do not put all or invest all saving in one trust of bank. Spread it out. Banks are no longer safe. Properties may not be safe and it can depreciate all of a sudden. Do not be greedy. Do not trust and put money into organisation that promise impossible good returns.
Don't make your job your life and don't live for it. Of course, do the best to your abilities, but don't sell your soul to any company.

Please help i need buisness advice, about taking on a pub anyone with any advice or knowlege in this area?HELP
I am about to inherit 拢20,000 and i have been trying to think of a good and worthwhile thing to spend it on. i was thinking of puting it down as a deposit on a house but i have no idea whether that would be possible or whether i'd need more money? any ideas on that? However have come up with the idea of taking on a pub so it would be let out to me for around 10,000 and i would be trained and left to my own devices so i would be running it with the help of my boyfriend. I'm only young and dont know much about whether this would be worth it and if i would gain money from it, as i certainly dont want to lose it.This is something i would really love to do but does anyone have any advice/opinions or know anything about this sorta thing and know what i should do?Please help i need buisness advice, about taking on a pub anyone with any advice or knowlege in this area?HELP

Think long and hard about if this is the life for you.. it's fun going to the pub for a night out but the other side of the bar can be a real strain on the body and relationship.. the training isn't so bad so lets just take it you get a license.. then you get your pub.. from then on it is a 365 day a year job with just Christmas day evening off.. its days and nights.. every day often till mid-night.. are you planning on serving food? then you'll be stuck in the kitchen for 7 days a week cooking food from 12 - 3 every day or whatever hours you decide to serve meals.. then you got the cleaning.. fancy cleaning out the toilets after a pub full of men have been enjoying themselves all evening? could you handle the drunks? give it lots of thought!!
Business wise, pubs nearly always make money, if its well run. However, morally and personally you would be responsible for helping create alcoholics, damaging people's health, encouraging and having to deal with under-age drinking, dealing with potential violence and abuse aimed at your staff and customers, unsociable working hours and much more.
I would recommend putting your money into a coffee shop franchise. As profitable as a pub without all the negatives associated with pubs. (listed above). However you lose the sociability of having as many 'regulars' (which many landlords like) as you would get in a pub, but my experience of pub work, is that regulars tend to be depressing alcoholics with nowhere better to go!
Or if you want to keep your current job, and want more security in the long run use it to help buy a house. The bigger your deposit, the lower the monthly mortgage.
And at the end of the day any money your spending is going on yourself, rather than a business that may eventually fail!
Buy a house!
With my work I deal with pubs daily - most of them are closing down because of the smoking ban. If you lease a pub from one of the breweries you will not make much profit as you will have lots of overheads, most of the people I speak to either work somewhere during the day and run the pub at night or they only earn 拢200 per week wages. You say 拢10,000 for the pub, this would be yearly and then you have stock, electricity, wages, wear and tear, don't jump into it talk to someone who has a lease on a pub and they will tell you the same.

Gastric Bypass Surgery /gastrectomy/stomach stapling /lapband (all types of bariatric surgery) is very safe nowadays.It is very cheap in India.There is one company that is very famous in India that arranges obesity surgery for foreigners in India.They are called the Forerunners Healthcare.I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories.
I have also read that they arrange financing for american and canadian patients as obesity surgery is not covered by insurance.They also have photos pasted of their International patients.You can checkout their website.The cost savings are incredible.As a doctor i personally believe that your obesity surgery can be easily handled in India as the quality of healthcare available here is simply best in the world.The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.
My cousin got her revision surgery for gastric bypass in India through the forerunners healthcare .She is more than very happy with the results.She has lost 65lbs in 5 months.She just paid 25% of the amount she was quoted in USA and is all praise for this forerunners healthcare company.hope this helps

Make sure you plently of water on hand. Water is VERY important after this type surgery. And Make sure all your errands have been run, you wont be going out for some time.
My father and my step father both had this procedure done. I know with my dad he is not aloud to have anything with sugar in it. It makes him extremely sick. He also had to take prenatal vitamins I believe for the 1st few weeks after. I've never heard of taking protein shakes, I was always led to believe those shakes help you gain weight, but I could be wrong. I have noticed with the 2 of them, their appetites are somewhat different. My step dad had this done about 3 years ago and for the most part only eats cottage cheese and mash potatoes. That's all he can really handle without getting sick. Oh, and I forgot to mention ice cream. He originally lost about 90 pounds but has gained about 50 of it back. Now my dad only had this done about 7 months ago and he has already lost alittle over 100 pounds. Neither one can eat fast or they get sick. I know this sounds bad but my dad has told me once you have this surgery, you really do lose your appetite and have no desire to eat. You eat because you have to. The only thing he watches when buying food is to make sure there is no sugar and very low sodium. But after a few months you can pretty much go back to what you used to but you will notice a lot of foods will make you sick. It hard telling you what because everyone I know who has had this done is slightly different. I hope that helps you some.

Can someone give advice about my b*stard of a neighbour (sorry, that's how I feel!)?
I live next door to a very cantankerous oldish man %26amp; ends up arguing with all the neighbours. Anyway, we had some very strong winds in January, which blew down the fence separating both our properties. As it's his side %26amp; his responsibility to mend it, 4 months later he decides he's going to fix it himself. He never approaches anyone about anything he's going to do. He never answers his door, if we need to discuss anything with him, so it's only until I get home from work, that I see what he gets up to in his garden. Long story short, he has dug 4 big holes in the ground to make posts for the new fence %26amp; has decided to dump all the mud from the ground onto my lawn instead of keeping it on his side. He's extremely ignorant %26amp; unapproachable and I don't know what to do. He hasn't even mentioned when he's going to do a new fence and now we've got clumps of soil on our lawn. He's taking his time with the fence %26amp; the 'clumps' have been there for a week now %26amp; I do need to cut the lawn.Can someone give advice about my b*stard of a neighbour (sorry, that's how I feel!)?
just do it the easy way take a rake and a shovel and go move the dirt onto his property , reseed the dead spots that he killed and be done with it. hopefully he will have the fence done soon enough and you can get back to your own life.Can someone give advice about my b*stard of a neighbour (sorry, that's how I feel!)?
Stalking you?!?!?! Get over yourself. What a joke!
Bhitchy... is that your Christian name?
She's certainly chosen the right Avatar name for herself anyway!
How about moving half of it back to his side? Take responsibility for half and give him half back - whether it's all his or not, surely 50:50 cannot cause an argument? Perhaps push a note through his door saying what you've done and why and that you'd appreciate him keeping the mess on his side of the garden? Say if he needs to come into your garden to do any of the work, while you don't mind, you could appreciate him telling you in advance? Good communication, or at least the attempt of it, could help the situation here. Good luck.
Write to him send it recorded keep a copy ask him to move his soil off your property give him a reasonable amount of time say 2 weeks if he doesn't respond seek legal action and take a copy of your original letter to the solicitor/ citizens advice
Good Luck I to had a neighbour from hell but I turned the tables (via my solicitor) and she moved 拢500 well spent.
Could you make use of the soil elsewhere in your garden? if not then I'd explain you need to cut your lawn and the clumps are preventing this. If he doesn't answer his door, I'd put a polite note through his door stating that you intend to mow your lawn at the weekend and that if the clumps are not removed from your property by then you will have no option but to place the spoil back into the holes. Ask him to refrain from dumping this back on your property in future.
Neighbours can be right fu拢ers !
if hes an old man on a pension maybe hecant afford to replace the fence. but growing up next to the neighbours from hell my mother put a fence up on our side of the boundary and then they put one on theirs. so maybe this is what you should do. itll take a foot at the very most of your garden but whats that compared to your privacy and peace of mind. As for the clumps put them back in the holes or on his side. Unfortunately when the neighbours are this old theres no getting through to them. good luck
Buy a cat and teach it to **** on his lawn
Sorry but I think we all have at least one of those. Like they say, living near people is like being in a loveless marriage.
either put it back in the holes or get the spade and throw it around his garden spreading it out. that will pee him off as that will be harder to pick it back up and make his garden full of earth instead of grass. he should hurry up and pick it up and get the message when it rains or he will have his precious garden turned into mud. lol
Here is a bit of advise, send him a letter, keep it cool and stick to the facts, don't, be argumentative or confrontational. Obviously, keep a copy for yourself, Explain that you have tried to communicate with him, but have failed, THEN, end with a threat to seek legal advice, as all other communication has failed. This worked for me. It's cheaper than a solicitors letter, in fact, my solicitor suggested that I do it myself.
Get your shovel and heap it on his side.
place the clumps back in his garden, maybe its a trip to the local councl to let them know? or you could ask if he needs help with the fence and then you never know he may be waiting for help?
My be you should offer to put up the fence for him , it will probably end up saving you money and time, i hate annoying neighbours, i got some too but mine are moving soon thank god, i just hope my next ones are nicer not worse. Good luck with the cantankerous old codger. lol xxx
I would pop a letter through his door advising him that you are considering legal action,The thought of having to fork out for his actions may be enough.
If this dos'ent work send a solicitors letter,if you are in the right you cant lose.
Tip it back in the hole , he'l soon sort it then !!
Get over it! You are making a too big of a deal about clumps of mud. Wow, if I stressed over something as piddly as that I would be a nervous wreck! I would calm down about this situation though. It doesn't seem to be that big of a deal to me. The only thing about the situation that is bad is your neighbor. He needs to handle things better and learn to communicate with all the neighbors about things like this. It would help you all out in the long run and maybe then you wouldn't be stressing over some mud. :P
Why such a big song and dance about a bit of soil . Surely the easiest way of dealing with him is to make him into a friend. Ask him if he would like some help with the fence. If he is oldish he might find it difficult to do on his own. He might just be cantankerous because he is lonely.
I have lived next door to people who were supposedly ';difficult'; and never found them to be so. It all comes down to how you approach them. Some people like to feel important and asking them their advice before you do something (even though you don't need it ) makes them feel that you look up to them and they then tend to be more open to what you are planning to do.
Just being friendly can go a long way to making a neighbour better.
You say hes ignorant and unapproachable but every body is approachable its just finding the right way to approach him. And are you sure hes not deaf.? I am deaf and I always explain this to people as otherwise they think I am an ';ignorant stuck up cow'; that is what one person called me. She apologised once I explained that I simply just hadn't heard her .
While the various suggestions that you write to your neighbour with an ultimatum are undoubtedly the correct formal procedure, I think you must be a bit more pragmatic.
A letter would probably just annoy your neighbour and cause him to become more obnoxious. The legal follow up could be quite costly if you used a solicitor and if further provoked, your neighbour may try to make you life quite miserable. I fear that if you adopt a confrontational approach, your quiet disposition and size 8 frame will not provide adequate back up.
Much as it rankles, I fear that you must instead use charm. Go and see this chap and play the damsel in distress, be really nice and offer to help him finish the fence. It will leave a bad taste in the mouth but it may provide the quickest solution.
An acquaintance in East London had a problem with a big, aggressive neighbour and after many arguments went to see him and laid the law down. The neighbour was just sarcastic, saying ';What you gonna do about it?';
The reply was ';Me, nothing but I have 拢500 in my pocket and for that, I know two blokes from Canning Town who will come round here and keep kicking you until I tell them to stop';
Hostilities ceased at once. Sad but that is the only language some people understand.
write him an official letter, take a copy of the letter before you send it , and post it registered post so tehre is a record of you sending it, explaining everything in an official manner and asking for a response from him in writing within so many days or you will be taking legal action.
* he didnt approach you first to discuss this
* the dirt he has put onto your lawn needs removing at once
etc etc etc
and get your camera out now and start taking photos of the fence and the dirt hes dumped on your property and continue to take photos of everything thats hes doin re the fence
i would dump it all back on his side. no more mister nice guy, if he is awkward give him some back. i would then putmy own fence up. 22 meters is the max height allowed and then you can put a trellis on top. run it along side his boundary. you may lose an inch or so but it would be worth it.
';He never approaches anyone about anything he's going to do. He never answers his door, if we need to discuss anything with him';
Why should he? It's HIS fence.
Why would he need to discuss anything with you?
Why should he be on your time schedule?
The only valid complaint you have is the dirt on your lawn. Politely tell him that the dirt has to be moved. If he is elderly offer to help him, so that you can go about your business with cutting your lawn.
By the way did he have the fence installed or is it his responsibility because the wind blew the fence on his side of the property line?

How about moving half of it back to his side? Take responsibility for half and give him half back - whether it's all his or not, surely 50:50 cannot cause an argument? Perhaps push a note through his door saying what you've done and why and that you'd appreciate him keeping the mess on his side of the garden? Say if he needs to come into your garden to do any of the work, while you don't mind, you could appreciate him telling you in advance? Good communication, or at least the attempt of it, could help the situation here. Good luck.
Write to him send it recorded keep a copy ask him to move his soil off your property give him a reasonable amount of time say 2 weeks if he doesn't respond seek legal action and take a copy of your original letter to the solicitor/ citizens advice
Good Luck I to had a neighbour from hell but I turned the tables (via my solicitor) and she moved 拢500 well spent.
Could you make use of the soil elsewhere in your garden? if not then I'd explain you need to cut your lawn and the clumps are preventing this. If he doesn't answer his door, I'd put a polite note through his door stating that you intend to mow your lawn at the weekend and that if the clumps are not removed from your property by then you will have no option but to place the spoil back into the holes. Ask him to refrain from dumping this back on your property in future.
Neighbours can be right fu拢ers !
if hes an old man on a pension maybe hecant afford to replace the fence. but growing up next to the neighbours from hell my mother put a fence up on our side of the boundary and then they put one on theirs. so maybe this is what you should do. itll take a foot at the very most of your garden but whats that compared to your privacy and peace of mind. As for the clumps put them back in the holes or on his side. Unfortunately when the neighbours are this old theres no getting through to them. good luck
Buy a cat and teach it to **** on his lawn
Sorry but I think we all have at least one of those. Like they say, living near people is like being in a loveless marriage.
either put it back in the holes or get the spade and throw it around his garden spreading it out. that will pee him off as that will be harder to pick it back up and make his garden full of earth instead of grass. he should hurry up and pick it up and get the message when it rains or he will have his precious garden turned into mud. lol
Here is a bit of advise, send him a letter, keep it cool and stick to the facts, don't, be argumentative or confrontational. Obviously, keep a copy for yourself, Explain that you have tried to communicate with him, but have failed, THEN, end with a threat to seek legal advice, as all other communication has failed. This worked for me. It's cheaper than a solicitors letter, in fact, my solicitor suggested that I do it myself.
Get your shovel and heap it on his side.
place the clumps back in his garden, maybe its a trip to the local councl to let them know? or you could ask if he needs help with the fence and then you never know he may be waiting for help?
My be you should offer to put up the fence for him , it will probably end up saving you money and time, i hate annoying neighbours, i got some too but mine are moving soon thank god, i just hope my next ones are nicer not worse. Good luck with the cantankerous old codger. lol xxx
I would pop a letter through his door advising him that you are considering legal action,The thought of having to fork out for his actions may be enough.
If this dos'ent work send a solicitors letter,if you are in the right you cant lose.
Tip it back in the hole , he'l soon sort it then !!
Get over it! You are making a too big of a deal about clumps of mud. Wow, if I stressed over something as piddly as that I would be a nervous wreck! I would calm down about this situation though. It doesn't seem to be that big of a deal to me. The only thing about the situation that is bad is your neighbor. He needs to handle things better and learn to communicate with all the neighbors about things like this. It would help you all out in the long run and maybe then you wouldn't be stressing over some mud. :P
Why such a big song and dance about a bit of soil . Surely the easiest way of dealing with him is to make him into a friend. Ask him if he would like some help with the fence. If he is oldish he might find it difficult to do on his own. He might just be cantankerous because he is lonely.
I have lived next door to people who were supposedly ';difficult'; and never found them to be so. It all comes down to how you approach them. Some people like to feel important and asking them their advice before you do something (even though you don't need it ) makes them feel that you look up to them and they then tend to be more open to what you are planning to do.
Just being friendly can go a long way to making a neighbour better.
You say hes ignorant and unapproachable but every body is approachable its just finding the right way to approach him. And are you sure hes not deaf.? I am deaf and I always explain this to people as otherwise they think I am an ';ignorant stuck up cow'; that is what one person called me. She apologised once I explained that I simply just hadn't heard her .
While the various suggestions that you write to your neighbour with an ultimatum are undoubtedly the correct formal procedure, I think you must be a bit more pragmatic.
A letter would probably just annoy your neighbour and cause him to become more obnoxious. The legal follow up could be quite costly if you used a solicitor and if further provoked, your neighbour may try to make you life quite miserable. I fear that if you adopt a confrontational approach, your quiet disposition and size 8 frame will not provide adequate back up.
Much as it rankles, I fear that you must instead use charm. Go and see this chap and play the damsel in distress, be really nice and offer to help him finish the fence. It will leave a bad taste in the mouth but it may provide the quickest solution.
An acquaintance in East London had a problem with a big, aggressive neighbour and after many arguments went to see him and laid the law down. The neighbour was just sarcastic, saying ';What you gonna do about it?';
The reply was ';Me, nothing but I have 拢500 in my pocket and for that, I know two blokes from Canning Town who will come round here and keep kicking you until I tell them to stop';
Hostilities ceased at once. Sad but that is the only language some people understand.
write him an official letter, take a copy of the letter before you send it , and post it registered post so tehre is a record of you sending it, explaining everything in an official manner and asking for a response from him in writing within so many days or you will be taking legal action.
* he didnt approach you first to discuss this
* the dirt he has put onto your lawn needs removing at once
etc etc etc
and get your camera out now and start taking photos of the fence and the dirt hes dumped on your property and continue to take photos of everything thats hes doin re the fence
i would dump it all back on his side. no more mister nice guy, if he is awkward give him some back. i would then putmy own fence up. 22 meters is the max height allowed and then you can put a trellis on top. run it along side his boundary. you may lose an inch or so but it would be worth it.
';He never approaches anyone about anything he's going to do. He never answers his door, if we need to discuss anything with him';
Why should he? It's HIS fence.
Why would he need to discuss anything with you?
Why should he be on your time schedule?
The only valid complaint you have is the dirt on your lawn. Politely tell him that the dirt has to be moved. If he is elderly offer to help him, so that you can go about your business with cutting your lawn.
By the way did he have the fence installed or is it his responsibility because the wind blew the fence on his side of the property line?
