My sister's daughter accidently sat on their 3 year old parakeet..At first they thought the leg was broken. He seemed to have trouble breathing, but was alert. My sister could not get it to the regular Vet. because it was a Sunday. She found someone local and after checking the leg. The Vet said that it looked like it was just the leg cause the bird seemed alert. On the way home the bird died. It was traumatic. We are guessing that it was internal injuries. Has this ever happened to any of you folks out there? My sister felt guilty, but I told her that she did the best that she could do under the circumstances. Needless to say my niece feels very badly as well.

Is there a rule that states that if a starting pitcher comes in for relief then he must wait a certain time priro to his next start?

Why is it that in alot of answers I read ..................?

there are people who are accusing someone with a black picture or avatar of being white? I know this is sometimes true because it's obvious, but it's also true that white people are not the only racists. As someone from both European and African descent I am all too familiar with the fact that there are also black people who are racist and act just as hateful and childish as white racists.

My question is very clear. I want to know why so many people accuse whites on this forum of using black avatars [which to me is an indication that alot of people think whites are the only people who do this and that whites are the only racists].

Racism comes in all colors.

Girls seem to always wait until they're minutes away from an accident before they go. Any girls out there do that or are the girls in my area strange that way? If so, is there a reason why they hold it in? Assuming there is a clean bathroom nearby, because that doesn't seem to matter...

I am the manager of 5 tellers at a bank and we have had quite a few issues with the lack of motivation, team work, and lack of attention to customers.

These are great people, but the teller line seems to be very tense, and lack of teamwork is a huge issue.

Any ideas to make sure that these workers become more compatible, get motivated to actually enjoy their job, take customers promptly, etc?

"In a perfect world, animals would be free to live their lives to the fullest: raising their young, enjoying their native environments, and following their natural instincts. However, domesticated dogs and cats cannot survive "free" in our concrete jungles, so we must take as good care of them as possible. People with the time, money, love, and patience to make a lifetime commitment to an animal can make an enormous difference by adopting from shelters or rescuing animals from a perilous life on the street. But it is also important to stop manufacturing "pets," thereby perpetuating a class of animals forced to rely on humans to survive."
-PETA pamphlet, Companion Animals: Pets or Prisoners?

"I don’t use the word "pet." I think it’s speciesist language. I prefer "companion animal." For one thing, we would no longer allow breeding. People could not create different breeds. There would be no pet shops. If people had companion animals in their homes, those animals would have to be refugees from the animal shelters and the streets. You would have a protective relationship with them just as you would with an orphaned child. But as the surplus of cats and dogs (artificially engineered by centuries of forced breeding) declined, eventually companion animals would be phased out, and we would return to a more symbiotic relationship – enjoyment at a distance."

-Ingrid Newkirk, PETA vice-president, quoted in The Harper's Forum Book, Jack Hitt, ed., 1989, p.223.
