We purchased a new house in Pima County, near Tucson AZ, and at the time of the walk-through just prior to the closing, there was no crack in the sidewalk. The crack subsequently appeared and extended from a 3 inch crack becomming about a 2 foot crack in just a few days. The crack is less than 1/16 of an inch thick. The contractor says cracking in concrete is almost universal, and given the fact that there are no significant structural or safety issues, he will do no more than re-evaluate the situation in 6 months. The sidewalk was ugly and discolored, and the crack developed the day after the masonry subcontractor applied some kind of acid to the sidewalk.

Would appreciate any advice from real estate attorneys or contractors who have knowledge about these matters.

I've tried the different brands of kitten food, wet and dry, he won't eat it he wants to eat what our adult cat eats, wet and dry food and water of course, is that going to cause problems for him? He eats fine, seems fine...If he 'has' to eat kitten food, any ideas on how to get him to? Does a kitten 'have to' eat kitten food? What about before they had kitten food (I think its only been in the last 20 years that kitten food has been around)

I've heard all the horrors of "small children" and then everyone in the household being infected with worms when there is a puppy (or whatever animal) in the house with worms, but has anyone ever actually had it happen to them?
We adopted a "labbe" puppy about 5 days ago, got to know him, and then took him to the vet today for his first puppy shot and to be checked for worms. Of course, he has roundworms, so I'm going through the (pretty typical, from what I've read on YA) panic of "what if my son gets them?!?!??! I know that he CAN get them and I know HOW he would get them, but if in some horrible twist of fate I didn't clean as well as I thought, WHEN can I expect to see the worms or symptoms?
I've read many questions on YA, and articles online, and can't find a single story about someone actually having the worms transfer to them, and I'd like to be able to put my mind at rest on the subject.

There were three prostitutes living together, a mother, daughter and grandmother. One night the daughter came home looking very down. "How did you get on tonight Dear?" asked her mother. "Not too good," replied the daughter. "I only got $20 for a b--- job." "Wow!" said the mother, "In my day we gave a b--- job for 50 cents!" "Good God!" said the Grandmother. "In my day we were just glad to get something warm in our stomachs!"

What are your thoughts on the meaning on this poem? I find myself coming to a different conclusion each time I read it and now I'm curious to see what other people think. And please note, this isn't for a school assignment, rather it's purely to help satisfy my own curiousity. Thanks for sharing your opinion on this poem!

IN PERSPECTIVE

What, keep love in *perspective*? -- that old lie,
Forced on the Imagination by the Eye,
Which, mechanistically controlled, will tell,
How rarely table-sides run parallel;
How distance shortens us; how wheels are found,
Oval in shape far oftener than round;
How every ceiling-corner's out of joint;
How the broad highway tapers to a point --
Can all this fool us lovers? Not for long:
Even the blind will sense that something's wrong.

~Robert Graves (1895-1985)
