She's had a bit of a cold for a couple weeks. Yesterday, she spiked a fever of 102.3 and now it's still 102.2. She has the cough, the body aches, the sniffles, the runs, the nausea. She woke up about 5 this morning throwing up bile and mucus into my trash can(had her in my room last night).
I have her drinking some weak chamomile tea with sugar, just so she'll have some liquids in her. Dry heaves are no fun.
Saltines and gingerale, and ice water, too.
What am I forgetting?

Ever since I got my hamsters, I've been slowly weening them off of dry hamster food to a fresh fruit and vegetable diet. I've finally got them to the point where they now only eat fresh fruits and vegetables, [( I slowly introduced the new foods to them instead of just giving them a brand new diet so they wouldn't get sick from such an abrupt change )] and they've been doing just fine with it- In fact, towards the end of the changing process, they would only eat the fruits and just stuffed the dry food into the little corners of their cage!

Since they do fine with fruits and vegetables, I was wondering if they could eat tea leaves? Oolong, specifically. My little brother fed a leaf to one of the hamsters, and he ate it, and he hasn't been showing any signs of illness....

I hope those who so vehemently and vocally lept to an 'outraged' defence were humbled by her words upon landing at Heathrow this morning. Not a shred of hatred, anger or religious dicsrimination in sight!

I have a huge amount of respect for the woman and was pleased that she was so keen to stress that she had not meant to cause offence - clearly taking the customs, culture and laws of her host country seriously as opposed to mocking them as was done on here!

Well done Gillian and welcome back!

I currently am training in Aikido and I absolutely love it. I can't believe I didn't do it earlier. But I would like to become more well-rounded, and since Aikido isn't so much offensive, I was wondering what would be a good martial art to take along side Aikido that is more offensive as well as defensive? What Martial Art compliments Aikido?

I am leaning towards...
Ju Jitsu
Judo
Muay Thai

if anyone has any other suggestions, or advice about the three above, I'd appreciate it!

We always hear "the rules" from the female side. Now here are the rules from the male side.

1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us griping about you leaving it down.

2. Birthdays, Valentines, and Anniversaries are not quests to see if we can find the perfect present yet again!

3. Sometimes we are not thinking about you. Live with it.

4. Sunday = sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.

5. Don't cut your hair. Ever. Long hair is always more attractive than short hair. One of the big reasons guys fear getting married is that married women always cut their hair, and by then you're stuck with her.

6. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.

7. Crying is blackmail.

8. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!

9. We don't remember dates. Mark birthdays and anniversaries on a calendar. Remind us frequently beforehand.

10. Most guys own three pairs of shoes - tops. What makes you think we'd be any good at choosing which pair, out of thirty,
would look good with your dress?

11. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

12. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

13. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.

14. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.

15. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us. We refuse to answer.

16. If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.

17. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

18. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.

19. Christopher Columbus did not need directions, and neither do we.

20. The relationship is never going to be like it was the first two months we were going out. Get over it. And quit whining to your girlfriends.

21. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

22. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.

23. We are not mind readers and we never will be. Our lack of mind-reading ability is not proof of how little we care about you.

24. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," we will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

25. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.

26. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine. Really.

27. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as navel lint, the shotgun formation, or monster trucks.

28. You have enough clothes.

29. You have too many shoes.

30. Foreign films are best left to foreigners. (Unless it's Bruce Lee or some war flick where it doesn't really matter what they're saying anyway.)

31. It is neither in your best interest or ours to take the quiz together. No, it doesn't matter which quiz.

32. I am in shape. ROUND is a shape.

33. Thank you for reading this; Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight, but did you know we really don't mind that, it's like camping.

So, I've noticed that there are alot of movies starring men with all sorts of looks, ugly, hot, and in-between, but the female love interest is ALWAYS far more attractive than average. People seem averse to watching unattractive women on screen in roles where men are interested in them. Even in a movie like Shallow Hal where the point is that Hal is with an ugly woman, she appears attractive during almost all of her screen time...

So, are there any movies where the central romance involves a really attractive guy, and an ugly woman? (And not "movie ugly" as in she is gorgeous but wears nerd classes, I mean actually played by an unattractive actress...)

And, are there any movies where a very attractive man is dating an ugly woman, and this combination is just realism, not the point of the movie? I saw one 5-minute art film once where this was the case, but I think that's it...

Atheiets: Though debating with them can give me a headache, yet I find them very smart, well most of them.

I am looking to store my two large suitcases for 9 days in London right before Christmas. Somewhere closer to Heathrow would be the best alternative -- and it has to be accessible by the tube. I know Heathrow stores luggage for about 4 quid a day per bag, but I need something less expensive...anyone have any ideas?
