I recently adoped a dog from a shelter. She was a stray, picked up by animal control and was in the shelter for almost a month before I adoped her. She's young- about a year old and at first she didn't play with toys. Now she does, but she fetches "backwards." If I toss a toy in the living room, she picks it up and carries it through the kitchen and leaves it by the back door. At the park, she will chase what I throw until it stops moving, then loose interest in it when it's still. I tried standing near the door, and praising her and taking the toy from her when she's bringing it that way anyway, and stepping further away from the door, but she keeps putting them down right by the door. Someone said not all breeds play fetch as well as others. I'm not sure what type of mix she is, but she has the appearances of german shepherd and rotweiller. Any further suggestions are welcome. I'd love to be able to throw the ball at the park for her. thanks

It turns out my water is hard...whatever that means, and pet owner says I need to put 3 teaspoon of water conditioner in the tank...But I got a really small tank...about 6 litres of water... my tank measure: 29x17x12cm /1000=6L

The package says to add 2ml for 10 L....so that means I should add 0.2 ml of water conditioner?

How much is 0.2ml? would that be equivalent to a tiny drop?

I spoke to a tile guy recently and he told me that only cement board is acceptable for use in bathrooms. He said that green board is not. Why do the sell the greenboard if you cannot use it in bathrooms or areas that will take moisture?

I am extremely afraid of spiders and, more specifically, tarantuals. (Camel Spiders also creep me out....but that's not going anywhere.)

I want to get rid of this fear. I know everything about tarantulas and spiders, and that has just helped to increase my fear. It creeps me out that they have 8 legs and 8 eyes, and that web-spinning thing is .. . . . . .*shivers* I don't care that it's stronger than steel. It comes out of their bodies.

I know that this fear is completely irrational. I have had no lingering childhood experiences that cause me to fear them. They're just gross.

Is there anything I can do?

Now, I know that there are some tv shows that are very bad at portraying alternative lifestyles.... and Wife Swap (and other reality tv) is EXTREMELY bad at it... but if anyone live on a PST network, A Green Witch and her family are on the TV right now. ABC network.

Hooo Boy.

I'm a pagan... and I know that with watching these things, one really REALLY needs to take a grain of salt.. so I advise all of you to do it too.

I was out at an all day concert on Saturday and I think my lips got chapped. They are slightly dry and cracky. However, the things that is concerning me is I have what appears to be like a sore on my lips. I don't have HSV1 exposure as far as I know. My last test was 5 months ago. Could this be herpes, or does chapped lips have this symptom? It's not really a sore as much as what it would look like if you picked your lips.

My friend is buying a condo (just one) and thinking of renting it out as he lives in another state. He has asked me to be his property manager and I have no idea what that consists of. Could anyone tell me? Also, he said he'd pay me approx. 10%. I imagine this is 10% of the monthly rent, but I'm not sure. What is the normal pay for this type of job. Again, it's only one condo unit.
