As an organist I've played lots of weddings and funerals. But today was different. Usually the widow(-er) in the front row is about 80 years old and the family feels that "he/she led a nice full life."

But today I played a funeral and that widow in the front row was only 22-years-old, holding their 6-month-old infant in her arms.

How do you view that with regard to your religious beliefs? Christian, Pagan, Jewish, etc... all thoughts welcome!

My dentist recently said to mix 1 teaspoon reg. Clorox with 1 1/4 cups water and rinse with this daily to help stop Gingivitis. Anyone ever heard of this? And is it safe?

I am a college student who sometimes finds it hard to afford to pay for medical things I need (doctor visits, prescriptions, etc). It just makes me mad to see that people in prision who have often done some horrible things get all this world class medical care at no cost to them. Why should this happen when I've always tried to be a good person and they obviously haven't? A good example is from the movie Sicko when it is brought up that the terrorists in Guantanamo get numerous exams, mri's, and even surgery for free.

I have a 2 yr old boy an he doesent talk yet, well nothing pastt mama baba. He throws servere tantrems sometimes I dont even know why he is so upset. he loves to run and seems completly absessed with cars but thats really all he plays with he shows little intrest in other toys. when he watches tv its like he gets sucked into it and cant take his gaze off. Most of the time when i speak to him he aks like he cant hear me and continues what he is doing and if i interupt him he starts screamng. I have never seen any other children his age throw tantrums as often and the way he does, he will throw hisself on the floor an sometimes he hurts hisself doing this. He had a really bad fibril sezure when he was one and has had 2 very small ones since. but i am really getting concerned because of his behavior and speech problems.

My son is only five months old. But my partners step-father talks non-stop about 'when he's old enough' he can go hunting with him. I don't agree with hunting - I'm a vegetarian and wish to bring him up vegetarian UNTIL he's old enough to understand what he is eating. Then it is up for him to decide.

However, his step dad's career, well, is a "possum hunter". They are, supposidly a pest in New Zealand and he, well, poisons them (with very dangerous poisons not suitable to be around children), finds them later, brings them home and skins them. The carcasses are usually left around the driveway - without a skin. I've also stepped on things such as ears and testes before while visiting. His job is up to him, and job aside he is a VERY nice person. However i feel uncomfortable with him talking about taking him out hunting for possums (and sometimes wild pigs.)

Should I leave this and address it when it matters? Or should i or my partner talk to him before he gets carried away...opinions

my cat will not stop licking her belly and paws she does this all the time and makes herself bleed and she has bald spots. she has no fur on her belly at all. We purchased her a cat condo thinking this may give her something to do but it has not helped at all. Her front paw is so bad that it looks like the bone is going to start showing. Does anyone know what may be the cause and if there is anything that we can do to stop this behavior?

So we bought the heated floor system at the Home Depot..the one where you roll it out..its like a matt and comes with a thermostat. While looking at it, this guy was standing beside me and said are you buying that. I told him I was thinking about it for under our floor tiles in the kitchen. He said his bill went up by $150 per month and he only has abit in his bathroom which is on for 1 hr each morning! He also showed me the box says it uses as much energy as a lightbulb or 2 and he says maybe this is false advertising because it made his bill go up so high. I asked a worker after at the store and they said there is no way that could have happened. What do you think? Do you know anyone that had or has this? I bought it anyways and am abit nervouse..I only bought the 8 foot one..just one box..Will It make my bill go skyhigh?

I need a $2,000 loan so I talked to my friend who lives a few states away about co-signing.. she said she would do it via text message, so she gave me her info, informs he she has good credit, but is 20 years old.. my credit is horrible.. now, we are good friends, but I am worried if I get approved, if she will be like "I never gave him permission to do that" Which she did through a text message.. but is it still safe?

A friend of mine took a co-worker credit card from his locker and used it, he got fired from his job, the cops came and gave him a traspass warning, but didn't go to jail, the cops told him that he needed to "turn himself in" or wait for the warrant, it's been a month about this, he keeps telling me that they are no active warrants against him (i also checked) and NOTHING happended, when he talked to his attorney they told him that they probably won't do anything because they are not enough evidence, etc, and that the cops wants him to turn himself in, since he'll be accepting what he did.
Is this correct, why nothing happend with him, how long should he wait to expect a warrant (if any). PLEASE HELP HIM

Mother cat is diagnosed with FeLV and I have other cats in the house out of which 4 are 3 months Old.
The mother cat ( Sweety) is getting better with anitbiotics and constant feeding n attention.
I am tryign to keep the other cats away from her but its very difficult.
Since the past few days my kittens are started drinking more water then they normally do. I am worried as excssive drinking is a symptom of FeLV. I can afford to get blood tests done for all the cats to confirm FeLV and the vaccines are also very costly. What can I do? I dont wanna lose em.
Also the cat which is recovering is still getting Diarrheoa even though she is eating well and seems to be putting on a lil weight. How ever she is not as active as she used to be still. When can i call her safe and out of the woods?

It seems like I am the only person at my college that uses lip gloss? I would think more women would wear it considering all the beauty ads.
