I've noticed that my mom has been rubbing the top of her breast lately. When I saw her rub it she gave a strange look. She hasn't said anything about it. I know that if you have a lump on your breast you should see a doctor to see if it could be cancer. I don't know if my mom is feeling a lump or not, but she hasn't seen a doctor. I want to talk to her and find out what it is, and if it is a lump, convince her to go see the doctor, but I don't know what to say. And it would be awkward. But I know I should say something. How should I bring it up? What should I say?

My mom wants to find a place to donate her wedding dress to a good cause. The problem is, it's from her wedding 25 years ago, and I can't find a charity that that'll accept wedding dresses this old! Well, I take that back, I found one that makes burial shrouds and gowns for "heavenly angels." My mom kinda freaked out about that one! We live in Florida, if that helps at all. Any advice?

I sometimes see the argument here that homosexuality is 'unnatural' and as 'proof' it is argued that homosexuality is not observed in other animals (never mind that it actually is).
But by that definition, theism is also 'unnatural' since it is not observed in other animals. Does that mean theists should not be allowed to marry?

PUPPIES AS CHRISTMAS PRESENTS?

"Accepting deposits now for Christmas puppies," classified advertisements read at this time of year. Are you considering getting a dog for Christmas or thinking about giving someone else a puppy as a present? Do pets make good Christmas gifts?
"Puppies just don't make good presents because they need so much attention and care," said Candy Roberts, Humane Officer at the Humane Society of the Ohio Valley.
Puppies require constant attention and supervision when you first bring them home. They must be fed three to four times daily. Housetraining must start immediately and is a time-consuming process. Puppies usually need to go out every time they eat, drink, play or wake up from a nap, including the sleepiest hours of these cold, winter nights.
During the holiday season people are so busy that they don't have the time it takes to fulfill a new pup's 'round the clock demands. It's unfair to bring a young dog into the chaos of holiday celebrations and ignore their needs.
"Christmas is not a good time to introduce a new animal into a household. It is best done later, when things are calmer and there's more time to help the puppy adjust to their new surroundings," said Daneen Pacifico, board member of the Humane Society of Parkersburg, West Virginia.
With all the activity during this season, it's possible that the puppy may be frightened or distressed. A new pet may also be upset by the stressful emotions of the humans around them. A stressed pet, particularly an energetic and playful pup who is left unsupervised, is more likely to get into trouble.
The rich fare served during the holidays can irresistibly tempt a constantly-hungry pup to steal and devour these goodies from the table or garbage. Another temptation is to hand feed a new puppy tidbits as a special meal. Having access to spicy, fatty or excessively-sweet Christmas foods is a recipe for having a sick puppy.
Other Christmas dangers for new pets include their investigations of shiny decorations with wonderfully strange odors. Most puppies explore by mouthing objects that interest them. If a pup chews on decorative lights, extension cords, glass ornaments, tinsel or leaves from seasonal plants, they could become injured, seriously ill or even die. A dead puppy is not a good Christmas present.
What about additional health considerations of Christmas puppies? Were the sire and dam healthy? How about further back in the pedigree -- are there any genetic illnesses -- did the breeder spend the time and money to check?
Puppies advertised as Christmas presents have most often been bred to bring their owner extra cash for the holidays. Since breeding a healthy litter costs more than can be recovered in sales, these so-called breeders may have cut corners by withholding important veterinary and nutritional care to the pups.
Also, was the litter an accident? Most reputable breeders do not have litters available during the holidays because puppies that are given as presents seldom remain in their first home. Some of these puppies end up at animal shelters, where parents may bring their children in at the last minute to pick a pet as a Christmas present.
"They don't need or really want a dog when it gets that close. It's a last minute thing then. Getting a pet isn't a spur of the moment decision," said Roberts.
Prospective owners need time to prepare for the family's new addition. The purchase of a puppy should be part of a well-researched, thorough and forward-looking plan.
"A puppy is not something that looks cute and is taken on a whim, then after a short time is returned to the shelter. We close the shelter to the public the day before Christmas to try and prevent adoptions made on a whim. These are living creatures that deserve a huge commitment. To do that someone must be ready to take on this big responsibility." said Pacifico.
Roberts said, "After the excitement is over, many kids get tired of taking care of a puppy and the parents won't do it because they're too busy. So, about half of our puppies that are adopted during the holiday season end up being brought back to the shelter. Pets aren't like toys. When you get bored with them you can't throw them away and get a different 'toy.' If you do that with a dog, it hurts them."
There are more reasons for never giving an animal as a present. Selecting a pet is a personal choice, not something one individual can do for another. What if the receiver doesn't want the puppy? Do the kids and the new dog get along? This should be determined in advance of permanently acquiring a pet.
"We advocate that if a person wants a puppy, they should choose the pet themselves so that it is compatible with their lifestyle. They must want it, agree to accept responsibility for it and be willing to provide care for the animal," said Pacifico.
If the decision to get or give a puppy as a present has definitely been made - hopefully with much forethought - breeders and humane officers make the following recommendations. Give a gift certificate, a stuffed animal or pet-care items at Christmas. Wait to bring the new pup home until after the holidays are finished and people's homes and schedules are less hectic. The right puppy will be worth the wait.
More people buy puppies as presents than other types of pets, but animals such as kittens, ferrets, birds and reptiles should also not be given during the holidays for the same reasons.
The commitment to a newly acquired pet must last the lifetime of that animal, not just on Christmas Day. So before deciding to give a puppy - or any other animal - as a gift remember: Pets Are Forever.

If 2 capacitor were arranged in parallel, does that mean that the current discharge would be X2?
Also, if a capacitor or 1F charged with 1V. Does that means it has 1 coulomb (1C = 1F x 1V)? If so, then when charged with 2V it will have 2C

Great Britian doesn't complain about about Britany or Holland New Zealand. Why do Greeks think they have copyright on MACEDONIA????
If Greeks want to call Macedonia by what they want they can. BUT why force their perversity on everybody else.
What right to they have from banning Macedonia from use it's proper name.Why should Greeks have right in the UN and EU to do this. Why do they try to force the US to use 'Fyrom' when the Americans want to address the country name that it wants to be called.

Would you be happy if Turks started forcing you to be called Former Ottoman Province of Greece?
If you are so fussed about the name Macedonia why not complain about the toen of MACEDONIA, OHIO

Yes, I'm talking about their support for the independent socialist Senator Joe Lieberman (I-CT).
Supposed Conservatives have been opposing the most pro-market member of Congress, Ron Paul, and supporting one of the most anti-market members of Congress, Joe Lieberman.
Maybe this provides some insight as to why Rudy Giuliani (a staunch advocate of gun control) is currently leading the "scientific" polls of 2004 Republican Primary voters.
What exactly is so conservative about these anti-gun, pro-war, anti-market politicians that the supposed "conservatives" have been supporting? Isn't conservatism supposed to be about limited government, protecting our country (and therefore going after those who attack us and protecting our borders, not overthrowing the governments of 3rd world countries that pose no threat to us), and free markets? If so, why are "conservatives" supporting Lieberman and Giuliani and opposing people like Ron Paul?

My dog is a 5-month old mini maltese, and has been with us for almost 2 months.
whenever we take him out for walks, and try to socialize him with others dogs, he always growls or barks at them, no matter how much bigger the dogs are compared to him.sometimes he tries to bite or scratch the dogs, no matter how friendly the dogs might be to him.
For instance,earlier today, we took our dog out to a dog cafe where a maltese gathering was held. There were about 15 maltese dogs there, about 10 or so of other different breeds. we tried socializing him with almost all the dogs, except the really big ones. They tried sniffing his butt and playing with him and so on, but he snapped at every single one of them, and almost bit off the noses of quite a few dogs.
He has no problems with humans though. He gets really excited when he meets a human stranger, but he has got huge problems socializing with dogs.
Why is my dog behaving this way?
And what can we do to correct his behavior?

She seems to have lost touch with many of her friends, and I am wondering if this is hurting her relationships. She once told me of how she had to pretend to be her friend at an optometrist appointment. Her friend wanted to get a pair of contact lenses, but has always had a difficult time putting them in during the appointments, and had been denied contacts in the past. She told us she went to the appointment in her friends place and took the eye test, and received a pair her friend would wear. It didn't seem possible that they could have the same prescription, but i didn't feel right questioning her about the specifics. I would really like her to be truthful with me, and don't know how to confront her without damaging our friendship.

I meet with a group of 12 adults and 3 toddlers every week to eat dinner. It is my week to fix dinner. Everyone loves my homemade spaghetti sauce. I was thinking it may be easier to cook a different type of noodle to go with it rather than the plain spaghetti noodle. I have to cook the dinner and transport it to my friends house. Any suggestions?
