My 16 year old chihuahua seems to have lost most of her sense of smell, only being able to smell food items if they are within a half inch or so of her nose, would like to know if this is common?

Also, anyone who has suggestions or advice for making her life as good and healthy as possible. She has cataracts on both eyes, has just a small field of blurry vision, and has also lost all her teeth but a few molars, and is hard of hearing.

She seems happy, content, and spends most of her time sleeping burrowed in an electric throw next to me on the couch (I am homebound). Other than the things mentioned above, she has a heart condition, but still gets around well and does not seem in pain. Any helpful advice welcome! she is my sweetie. :)

I am under the impression that the word "yet" should always be used with the perfect tenses, like
1. I have not finished my homework YET.

However, ........
2. "You are not qualified to give any medical advice YET."
3. "You have not been qualified to give any medical advice YET."

Between 2 and 3, which is correct if I am speaking to a medical student?
Also, is there any ocassion where using the other sentence would be correct (not necessarily grammatically)?

When your on raw food diet or vegan diet...how do you get your calcium/protien/iron?
What about when your doing an elimination diet or cleansing? Where do these nutrients come from?

Today I received a random urine test from the company I work for and I am a wreck right now! My concern is that I smoked marijuana 29 days ago exactly but have not since then. Now I consider myself healthy with a good metabolism and all that but I am still worried because I've never had to good through something like this. Am I going to pop? I've researched this all day but all the sites just seem so inconsistent, some say 7-14 days/15-30days/3-90days. I would like some guidance or something because im freaking out here. Thanks.

Think about this, if there is life after death the ethiest will be a double loser. But, if you believed in God on earth and when you die you found out that there was no God there is nothing to loose. However, if you were an ethiest and believed you whole life on earth that there was no God and after you die you found out Wow! So, this is specifically for ethiest out there, do you realy want to be a double time losers?

Walcott has played poorly in many matches and is often selfish but because he is English the fans love him. I am an arsenal fan and after watching his poor performance in the 6-3 hammering of liver, I am a bit disappointed. He still has a lot of work to do to be a good player but many fans think that he is a great. He hasn,t scored yet and he needs tie to settle in.

Behind the patio sliding doors
The city sounds Expire,
And in her cosy living room,
Nan sits alone. Retired.

The twin electric bar burns one,
Soft the blanket upon her lap,
Her cigarette ascendt to dust
Oblivious she naps.

Yet when her doorbell rings
she's always there
To listen, love and help with aged ear.


- - - - - -

The crematorium entrance hall
Bedecked with wreathes and cards,
The warming sun upon the hearse,
The gardens paved with flowers.

And slow the mourful journey home-
As minutes turn to hours.

Now her doorbell knowone hears
Reverberant on empty ears.
Silent Table, bed and chairs.

I've changed all spark pug wires
I've checked spark unit by reversing connectors, still intermittant spark on #4 .
I've checked manufacturer's specs on pulse generator ohms (530 ohms), reads perfect.

The strange thing is that if I unplug all spark plug wires from the spark plugs, there is no spark at any spark plug wires.

If I connect all spark plug wires and remove one at a time, then #1 has good spark (disconnected), #2 has no spark (disconnected) , #3 has good spark (disconnected), #4 has intermittent spark (disconnected).
If I remove #2 when the bike is running, then the bike dies. But when I check #2 for spark with the wire off the plug, there's no spark.
Is this a bad ground?

I have always had a "let bigons be bigons" attitude and "as long as they do it in doors" attitude towards gays, but i have just been shopping with my son and as walking through the shop just turned and noticed a couple holding hands head leaning on one another. chubby spikey hair tight top to reduce breast size and big boots and loads of rings the usual stereotypical gay women. My question is, im sure some time back it was illegal for gay couples to hold hands in a public place. Is it still illegal? also what do you feel about it?

I'm one of the best students, I prefer to stay at home, so I only go out on weekends to the cinema or to a restaurant with my friends, and I never brought any problems to my parents, but when I ask them to spend some time with me, they always have something more important to do, which is not true, and to 'shut me up' the buy me everything I ask for. It's not like I don't appreciate the gifts, but sometimes I would like to spend time with them.
I asked them a while ago why they couldn't go to my room, since I had done a few drawings, but they said they were busy (doing nothing)
Can someone help me?

I am a single mom who has recently started dating a single dad. Combined we have 6 kids! I have a 2 year old boy and a 3 year old boy. He has twin 10 year old girls, a 12 year old boy and a 20 year old boy.

We are trying to figure out some acitivies that we can all do together (mainly the 5 young kids, not the 20 old who lives away fromhome) or even just some advice from families with a span like this on how they handle things.

We know we don't have to do everythign together but would like to find something we can all enjoy. One thing we found was the beach. All the kids love that, playing in the sand etc. Great except we have a long winter where we live! Although in the winter we all love to go tobogganing so that's a good one as well.

thanks

Social Security will be gone soon. Jobs are harder to find & does not pay to support a desent living due to corprate greed & outsourcing. Health care is on the rise & hard to afford. Everything is getting more & more expensive by the day such as gas, housing, food, ..etc. Is our country heading for a melt down & we will find ourselfs in a civil revolution & emigrating somewhere else or change into socialism ,as the best solution ?
