I've just been reading various posts for baby names and got to wondering what nick names people had as children or give their children now.

My name is Rhiannon, and since I can remember my dad has always called me "Fred". I have no idea where it originated from, and no one else on the planet has ever been allowed to call me that in the 21 years I have walked this earth! My 16yr old sister Sheridan somehow got lumped with "Ferret", also by my well-meaning and ever loving dad. My 13yr old sister faired the luckiest with the nick name "Possum" or "Poss".

I just find it strange how some people give thier kids nick names like the ones my dad bestowed upon us. I'm just bored and curious and wondering what goes through people's minds when they name thier children...

My son let one of the cats in yesterday and they started fighting bad. Fur everywhere. One cat had a bite on him and I took him to the vet. They are brothers from the same litter they are almost 2 years old and have been toghether since. I don't think my other cat bite him but I really don't know, they have never fought like that before, just playing, now they start hissing everytime they see each other. Not sure if the unhurt one was trying to clean the wound and it just freaked out on him and the hurt one is just freaking cuz he is hurt??????? Do cats just turn on each other?

Ok so i know he 1st killed two people in the dormitories? those two were intended victims. (his x-girlfriend and her boy friend). i believe after his gf broke up with him he couldn't take it so he killed her and her boyfriend. ok i understand that.

but what i do not understand is why 2 hours later he went to Norris Hall (or whatever it is called) and went into the classrooms and started killing them? why? what does the people in the those classrooms have to do with his gf and him?

I live in Chicago next to a creek & have a major geese problem this year. Last year there were many goslings that had hatched near the creek but they always stayed by the creek. Now this year, the geese have been spending time in my front yard and are becoming a nussiance and territorial. They hiss at me. I feel like I'm in a hitchcock film it's gotten so bad. What can I do to get rid of them on my own?

A friend of mine like to be a technician in hospital, such as MRI technician, x-ray technician, etc. However, we cannot find the name of it or university that teaches those classes.
Does anybody can help with some info and how much is the starting salary for that kind of job? Thank you in advance.
