I just adopted two kittens from the animal shelter. The boy kitten is about 8 weeks old and is litterbox trained. However, he INSISTS on using the bathtub as a litterbox. He knows where the litterbox is kept and uses it when I put him in it, but if the bathroom door is open, he uses the tub instead. He also used the mop bucket once until I turned it upside down. A friend suggested placing the litterbox in the tub and gradually moving the box into another room. Will this work though? I don't want to give him the impression that it's okay to use the bathtub. How should I go about fixing this problem?

One of the Portuguese policemen involved in the McCann investigation is himself under scrutiny for torturing a Portuguese woman into a confession involving the disappearance of one of her children. He could himself be involved in the abduction of children including Madeleine and is in the perfect position to deliberately mislead the investigation and to plant forensic evidence to frame the McCann's, hence the sinister turn of focus onto them. He could be behind the leaks to the Portuguese media that are whipping the public up against them knowing that it would play to their national shame at such international scrutiny and also cultural differences - Kate is keeping her composure in public and the fiery continental mentality can't fathom this perceived lack of emotion so are quick to jump to conclusions. Nightmare on nightmare. Let's hope the truth comes out.

I know that Provera is not used anymore to determine if a woman is pregnant or not (bleeds if not pregnant, doesn't bleed if pregnant) because of the side effects on the babies.
My doctor put me on Provera 10mg from CD 16-25 to regulate a hormonal imbalance (LH, I think, though I menstruate every month - something to do with me bleeding midcycle). She said to do this for 3 cycles. I am on my 3rd cycle on Provera. I just counted - DH and I baby-danced just about mid-cycle. Am just worried. What if, just what if, there's a little one, won't the Provera harm her/him?
I am apprehensive about asking my doctor since we had a false alarm - false positive, with the delayed menses and what we thought were early pregnancy symptoms - few months back (about 3 months ago to be exact).

I've applied to become a police dispatcher. I just took the CA state test and feel that I'd have no problem learning and dealing with job related stress. (I know, I shouldn't count my eggs yet when I haven't even gotten back my test results)

Although, the only real thing that concerns me is whether or not I'll ever really have that "free" time on my days off. Whether or not I'll see my bf again (we live 100 miles apart). Also, what's the chances of being called into work on my day off?

I found out this weekend that my 18 year old brother is taking hard drugs. I knew he smoked pot and thought it was just a phase, so didn’t worry about it, especially as I’d be hypocritical, having had my share of the clubbing scene. Although seeing where my brother was this weekend has made me feel so sick I shall never touch another drug again in my life.

However, when I found out he’s smoking skunk most days, and that he’s started taking class A’s too… My heart broke. I found out where he was (he hadn’t been home all night again) and went to get him. The place was disgusting, kicked in walls and grubby sofa… Looked like a crack den, reminded me of trainspotting. I found out also that he’d been trying to drive his car when off his face, when it was off-road and the brakes weren’t working. He had crashed it the week before, doing 80 in a 40 zone.

I panicked and told my family what he’s been doing, including my brother who is a policeman.

Ok an automotive consultant is someone who has access to all dealerships and can find you the exact car you want(good credit or bad credit). He pulls your credit (so there are no surprises) and searches for the car and does all the negotiations with the dealership so you won't have to do any haggleing; all you have to do is test drive the car and sign the contract. Does $199-$249 sound like its worth it?

I usually do a load of towels every week and it seems like I am always washing underwear. I wash about 3 - 4 loads of laundry a week and thats all jeans, t shirts, underwear, pajama's bra's, etc. I feel like I am always doing major laundry on my days off. I dont remember having this much laundry when my kids were home. I wash bed linens at least 1 time a week and yesterday bought a couple of nite shirts so I dont have to do pajama's bras and socks more than 1 time a week. Is that a lot of laundry for 1 person?

I need to learn how to protect my IP on the internet. I know people can trace you by just knowing your IP and that makes me uncomfortable. What is the best way to be safe (or "hide") in the internet? And is there also a way to change your IP address to fake ones hiding your real one?

(I have my own laptop and use wireless from my home wireless router thats connected to another router).
