Question #1:

Where to find info about looking after a police dog puppy?

I am going to go into the police force when I leave school and my long term goal is the dog squad. Im not just joining for the dogs because I am well aware its a police job.

I currently have 3 small dogs, 1 of which is a 1 year 4 month poodle that I have been training for 1 year 2 months and hav been doing agility the whole time as well.

When i finish school Im having a gap year to get fit for the police focce. In that gap year I want to take on a police dog puppy such as a German Shepard. There are some sort of programs likee this.

I live in New South Wales.

Is this in anyway selfish of me? I will took full care of the dog and the experience with a big breed of dog. All my training is positive reinforcement. It may even benefit me when trying to get into the dog squad but if not its still a great experience.

I think you have it for about 2 years.

Can anyone give me any info on it?

Does it sound selfish of me to do it with other dogs? I take my dogs on at least an hour walk everday.

Question #2:

Do cats have strong or long term memories?

Some animals like elephants and dogs are known to have strong memories.
I have 3 cats - one female and two males. The male cats are the female cat's sons. The mother loves and takes care its kitten so much. But one day, the mother cat went missing for about 3 months. After returning home, the female cat seems to disowned and just forget about her own sons. She hates them and often chased after them with anger. That 3 months "vacation" seem to caused her to lose her memories. Is that normal for cats? Do they have weak memories?

Question #3:

whats going on with my dad?

My dad is on a high salary, i think. And ever since he moved in with his new wife, he's paid for a new kitchen, and the entire house to be redecorated, which i can understand as he lives there too. But he also bought his new wife a brand new car... I know that his wife never had much money, and now she has designer bags and lovely clothes. I think he pretty much pays for everything.

He always told me that id inherit everything he had...but recently hes let on that now i'll only be getting 1/4 of it where as his wife gets 3/4...now i don't really care...as i'd prefer my dad not to die... but it hurt a little when i found this out.

He never spends time with me anymore.. he used to take me out all the time, just me and him...but now it's as a family (his new wife and her kid/s). when were at his house i spend most of my time with my new stepsister, where i'd much rather be with my dad. Now im not being totally selfish here... I mean don't mind spending time with all of them, but it would be nice to spend sometime with just him for once.
My step sister is three years younger than me, but yet we get treated the same!?

Him and my mum separated when i was four.. but they ended on good terms..they've always been really good friends. But for the past year or so that hes been with the new wife, he no longer pulls up in the drive when he picks me up, or come in for a drink...he wont even talk to my mum unless the conversation is over the phone or text!?

He has to give me my pocket money in secret, he doesn't want the new wife knowing? Why? Apparently because he's suppose to give me and my step sister the same..(why should he, when shes getting money off her own dad?) what has the new wife got to do with it?! It's his money.

I really miss my dad.. and now i don't see him as much as i used too.. I know he doesn't love me as much as he used too.. I have spoke to him about it. My mum has tried. I even think my nan has. What am i suppose to do now?

Question #4:

Am I a selfish person?

Tonight I had this huge argument with my ex-girlfriend who is about to return to her country for good. She claimed I'm selfish because I "acted like she didn't exist" and "wasn't man enough to tell her I liked her." To a certain extent this is true. We had been apart for nearly two years and she gave no indication that she was interested in me again other than drunk dialing me to take care of her and her hopelessly drunk friends. I didn't have feel that she was right for me any more, but I still cared for her some because she was my first long-term relationship.

When we were actually together, I paid for the dates 80% of the time and she paid her half the other 20 percent. I also tutored her in advanced economics courses for free when I wasn't even taking the courses (which means I went to the trouble of doing reading she was too lazy to do) and I also wrote her papers so she could pass classes necessary to get accepted into the business school. Also, I took her on expensive trips at a time when I didn't have a full-time career and was draining my savings. And I did all of her moving for her and put up with being yelled at numerous times. I also would take care of her anytime she wasn't feeling well and stayed with her practically every night for several months even though we never had sex (well except she wanted oral). That was kind of hard for me as someone who never had sex but wanted it, but I was willing to wait since I loved her and I didn't really feel like having one-night stands with other women I met. But I guess I'm selfish because I don't fit her image of what a man is.

Question #5:

Teen Relationship: What Do I Do?

I broke up with my girlfriend about 4 weeks ago, and I just don't know what to do.
I was so happy with her, I mean. She meant everything to me. Ever since we broke up, I've been so depressed, and whenever I talk to her I feel so happy: I never stopped loving her... When she broke up with me, she said that she loves me, still wants to be friends (which we are) and that she still cares about me...
We talk almost every day, and she acts like nothing ever happened. She’s so friendly, flirty even. Almost like we're still together... She's always been quite 'friendly' per se. it just kills me inside to see her act the same way that she did with me, like nothing ever happened. It hurts even more to know she acts like this with other guys (which she did near the end of our relationship).
But she's moved on. And so should I, but I just can’t. I just don't know what to do. Or if I should talk to her about this stuff. All I want is for her to be happy, and all she wants is for me to be happy.
Whether she still loves me still is unknown. But I know that I still love her. I don't know if she knows that or not, it'd be quite obvious I’d of thought, for certain reasons.

It may be a Teen' relationship, but I am ready to be in a long-term, committed relationship, so don't bother with the 'young love' thing.

Help me. Please. BvX

Question #6:

GUYS: What the heck does he want, cuze I don't know?

Alright, so my ex-ex boyfriend and I broke up about 6 months ago. We ended on good terms, and we just kind of split because of cerumstances. We still cared about one another, and remained friends after the split. Latley we've been talking about getting back together. I just don't know what he wants, because he just doesnt seem like he's making an effort (or that he even cares) he sends me mixed messages; which really sucks because I still do care about him. I broke up with him because we just couldnt deal, it's long distance about 1hour away from my house, and now I'm working and it's just going to make it worse, if we do get back together; but my job is close to his house. We are both in our last year of highschool. Anyway I send him a message last night telling him that I wanted to get back together, and I was willing to do whatever it took. He responded to the message saying " That's exactly what I want baby<3 And you'll get what you want, you sent that message at 11:11 thats a good sign."
I hadn't noticed i sent it at that time. Today I asked him this:
Me:LOL. sure I am. Is this going to even work eh? This us getting back together thing?
Him:it will when it happens hehe
Me:Lmfao. yeah that awnsered the question perfectly.
He then responded to that saying. "Common babe, don't give up on me. I'm trying <3 I want you, I need you, I love you, and you should know that."

So I don't know? What can I take from all this? Does he care, or is he just stringing me along as if to say "If I can't have her then nobody can?"

-Help thanks so much ! :)
I asked him that questiion around that time, but we were having a conversation. I brought it up.

Question #7:

Is it okay to have a girlfriend and a boyfriend?

Socially acceptable? I know some girls do it. I am pansexual. And I mean it's not like I plan on getting married, it's just stupid casual dating, experimenting, whatever normal young adults do usually... regular stupidity.

I do plan on getting married, but not to these people. So I guess you could call it casual dating. With those I am dating right now I am not expecting to be in a committed, long-term, leading to marriage relationship. When I DO get married, and do move to a time in my life where I am dating for committed, long term, marriage-type relationships I would NEVER and I mean NEVER (I stress this) cheat or be in relationships with multiple people, or not care about my significant other!!

But I am not at that point in my life, my conduct would be completely different and I would obviously love and care about my husband or wife so much they would never be subject to such stupidity, only our tremendous love.

So right now, while I'm young, is it okay to date a boy and a girl or will I be smited? (I suppose you could call it now, and then I will settle down ;) Like everyone else.

I'm not looking for *love* I'm not ready, not yet.

Incite please?

Question #8:

What's a typical time frame for couples to stay in therapy?

My husband and i entered marriage counseling a little over 1 year ago for some major issues in our relationship. We both wanted to save our marriage and wanted it to work so we agreed to therapy. We found a counselor we really liked and we have been seeing him since June 2009. Our marriage is now stronger than ever and we feel ready to stand on our own two feet and navigate the waters of marriage solo. Will our counselor suggest an endpoint for us or is it up to us to say something? Our therapy is free since it's paid for by my husbands employer (active duty military) so we've just kept going because cost isn't a factor and it has really helped us grow as a couple. But we feel we're at the point of time to try it solo and see how we do. We've learned how to argue effectively, how to communicate, and how to take care of one another and voice our opinions. Yes i will admit we should have known how to do these things BEFORE getting married but we got hitched young and learned some lessons the hard way. But we've been married almost 5 years and have come a long way. What do we do now? Do we suggest it to our counselor and see what he says? Also if you don't believe in therapy or think its a quack science keep your comments to yourself..Therapy has very much helped my marriage in fact even saved it so no smart Alec remarks needed. If we feel we're ready to fly solo do we just need to ask the counselor if he feels we're ready? Please no rude comments or suggestions that we read books or other self help crap instead of therapy to fix our marriage. Opinions from actual therapists or couples who've been in therapy long term would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
We currently go twice a month and have no co-pays like i stated above. And to the guy who said real couples don't need therapy, your a prime example of a man who probably needs it the most,lol..

Question #9:

how should i come out to everyone?

i've just started my last year of 6th form and i've known i liked girls since I was 10 and in the past year i've come to terms that i'm gay.
i've told my 4 best friends and they were all really great about it which i realise how lucky i am to be friends with such great people when i know there are loads of people on here who need advice because they know all their friends are homophobic.
i just don't have a clue how i'm going to come out to 'the rest of the world' - im nearly 100% sure im ready i'm just worried how everyone will take it and i don't know how to do it! one of my guy friends who knows was joking like 'just grab someone in the common room and get off with them' which obviously im not going to do! but it got me thinking how do people just publicly do it?? advice on that would be much appreciated :-)
i guess i'm what you'd call a lipstick lesbian i mean my hair's long and i wear makeup and dress up so i really dont look stereotypical i mean everyone i told was really surprised!
im just so worried what people are going to say behind my back and i used to go to an all girls' school so i'm worried people will be all bitchy about me - i know i shouldnt care what people think but i can't help it.
my mum knows although i havent told her because she always asks me who i fancy and says 'i think you need someone like a boyfriend.. or maybe girlfriend?' which i really wish she wouldnt do because it makes me feel so pressured and horrible for lying to her as we're really close, i just can't bring myself to do it.
i also know no gay girls! there are some gay guys in my school but no lesbians. and i really dont like butch women - only other 'lipstick lesbians' but there seem to be none!!! i just feel like even if i come out i'll just be alone anyway
so yeah sorry for the life story but any help would be really appreciated :D
6th form is the last two years of high school in england - so i'm in the last year of school :)
i can't comment on your answers cos i dont have enough points or something? but thanks for answering and yeah i never thought that it might encourage others to come out thanks :)
but how should i do it??? haha i like the tshirt idea! but i dont think that's the way to go in my case :P

Question #10:

How do you let go of a "best friend" with the least amount of drama involved?

This girl has WAS my best friend throughout elementary and middle school, we went to different high schools but still maintained our friendship. I started feeling distant from her during 12th grade cuz we were VERY different by then and didnt agree on much, plus she was becoming quite a hypocrite. We went to colleges in different states and had very different experiences throughout those 4 years. She really couldn't relate to me on anything cuz our college lives had nothing in common. We spoke less and less every semester. We only saw each other once or twice during xmas breaks. Even though we were both home during summer vacations, we barely hung out since we were doing different things and I just wasn't enjoying her company anymore.

After graduating college we ended up working together for the summer and I realized how much we had really drifted apart, she was still into trying to be cool with hometown losers and messing with ignorant ppl while I just wanted more out of life. I have always been the one that wanted to get the hell out of my town and meet new ppl and try new things (I even studied abroad for a year in college), but shes the opposite. I ended up working abroad this past year and she never emailed or called me the whole year. I emailed her twice and she would respond, but if i hadn't, I know she would not even know anything about my life over there. I saw her once when i surprised my fam by coming home for xmas, but havent spoken or seen her since.

I got back about 2 months ago and I texted her about being home, even though she never asked. She contacted me 4 weeks ago to invite me somewhere but I had plans and we haven't contacted each other since. Truth is, I dont care that we dont talk or see each other cuz I dont consider her a good friend anymore, and haven't for a long time. But i know she prob still tells ppl I'm her best friend. I honestly wouldnt be sad if we lost contact completely, but I still get these bad feelings like i need to talk to her a few times a year to be on "good terms". Anytime i hung out with her over the past 3 years, it was just to fill a quota or something. I guess i'm scared of ending the friendship cuz i dont want her going around talking crap about me or telling my secrets, or ppl to start telling her bad things about me that I never told her. I'm sick of being fake and hang out with her when i really don't want to, i've been happy this summer not seeing her at all. I dont think she'll contact me anytime soon, but what if she does? should I contact her to hang out once and keep the cycle going? she hasn't DONE anything bad to me, so I dont want things to end sour, what should happen next?
I should add that even though she doesn't put much effort in contacting me, she makes a point to tell me its MY fault if we haven't hung out. That's the general consensus within our mutual friends as well, she has everyone thinking that everything's always my fault.

Question #11:

How can we seperate casual relationship people and long term relationship people?

It seems like they are really mixed up. One person wants companionship in the relationship and the other person wants only one thing which is dysfunctional. The ones that want a long term relationship and the ones that don't should be seperate.

I know there is no point in mating then to "use" eachother, but isn't it better if we see the opposite sex more than just "useful"? I just have a feeling that a relationship should include companionship and someone to care about.
and someone to do stuff and talk about stuff together.
The Man - Yes. But I just like to think better than that.

Question #12:

Can a relationship work out in a situation like this?

I've been in a long term relationship with an older black man for close to 4 years now. We don't live together, but we live about 1-2 miles away from each other. We both live in a family house so it's pretty tough to come to each other's home since our respective families are usually home 95% of the time unless they're away on vacation, going to work, etc. Prior to last week, he had a responsibility to look after his elderly mother who was 90 years old. Last week sadly, she died so he no longer has a mother to care for. At the moment, he's temporarily retired from work due to his former company working out of state. So with him no longer working and after the passing of his beloved mother, I believe that it gives us more of a chance to be together more than we were able to before. I know this may make the situation tougher than it is, but we're not "out" to many people including our families because we don't feel like we're ready to be "out" yet. We are however out to some friends and "buddies", whom we've got involved with in the past. Also he has limited access to a vehicle while I own my own vehicle so we can travel wherever we want even if it's to each other's homes. So do you guys think that this relationship will be able to work out between my lover (who's in his late 60s) and myself (I'm mid 20-ish)?

Question #13:

I tried facial wax twice at home (home made wax)
Now i want to go to a parlour for facial wax

But one parlour lady yesterday told me that its harmful to our skin in long term, is it?

Can u plz explain me positive and negative points of facial wax?

I dont care much about pain.

Question #14:

Long Term Car Care for the Boss 302?

I plan on getting the 2012 ford mustang boss 302 sometime before I die. I want it to be in good condition in 30 years, so what kind of stuff should I do to keep it in good condition?

Question #15:

Don't know my own feelings?

So, I don't know how to explain this really. I've known this guy for about 4 years, anyways. We met the second day of highschool and we kinda hit it off, we dated for a week but then broke up because we just....I can't remember why we broke up. We hated one another halfway through that year and then near the end we started speaking. Grade 10 we got along just fine, and then we got into a fight near the end of the year because I started dating his friend ( for about a month) then right after his friend and I broke up he also broke up with his long term girlfriend. We stop talking because he blamed me for breaking up his relationship, when I didnt do anything. So that summer we went without talking and then two weeks before school we started talking again. We were flirting and then when school started up for gr 11 we had a fling for about 2 and a half weeks. It was more intense, we never had sex or anything just alot of making out, and it was goood, but it ended because he and I just could deal with his friends. Anyways we got into a big fight the end of that year, and now we are going into gr 12. We stopped speaking until last night, I had this urdge to check up on him and see how he was doing, and how his summer was going. He told me that he never really got over me and that he still thinks about me from time to time, and that he'd drop the girl he's seeing (off and on) for me in a heart beat, all I have to do is say the word.
My question is do I care about him more then I think I do? I always find myself thinking about him, and I'll admit I get jealous when he has a girlfriend, and when I have a boyfriend it doesnt seem to last. My parents don't like him, and he's had sex andI never had. I'm a virgin. Could it be that I'm scared of my feelings for him? What do you think? We always come back to one another. Also his friends never did like me, now some of them talk to me. Could that be another reason?

Question #16:

What do I do about my boyfriends family?

My boyfriend and I have been together for a little over a year now. We have been friends for a long time, but when I had my son from a previous relationship and the biological father bailed my current boyfriend stepped up to be my sons dad. He's an amazing person and unlike my crappy exboyfriend, he doesnt drink or smoke and he treats me with so much love and respect it's unbelievable. The only problem is his family. The man he considers his dad owns a dispensary and is a huge pothead, his biological father is in prison, his mom is a gold digger her has basically abandoned her 4 children their whole lives in terms of emotional and physical needs and lies nonstop. So my boyfriend basically raised his younger siblings and I have no idea how he never got into drugs or any other sort of trouble. Not to mention his younger brother is in and out of juvy and is on drugs and his extended family are a chain of alcoholics, druggies, paroles, gang members, etc.

Don't get me wrong, I have my fair share of family issues (I was a teen mom, my dad is an alcoholic, etc), but the main difference between our families is the level of respect that they give to me and the way I choose to parent my son. My family honors my choices as a mother and do not try and change my parenting. His family on the other hand are always pressuring me to do things I am not comfortable with or are simply unsafe for my son. For example, his mother insisted on giving my son ice cream at 2 months old after I told her no multiple times. She then proceeded to sneak up on us and shove the spoon in his mouth. Of course it didn't kill him but I developed a strong distrust and lack of respect for his mother after that. His youngest brother, though, i love unconditionally and I see him as my brother. He is still in middle school and both my boyfriend and I try to spend as much time with him as possible so he is not steered in the wrong direction by the rest of his family. I have been avoiding my boyfriends family for months with the exception of his youngest brother, and because of that they are beginning to grow cold towards me.

My boyfriend knows his family is very dysfunctional and will admit that he doesn't like being around them very much, but they are his family nonetheless and he loves them which I completely understand and respect. They are constantly using us for rides, money, and anything else they can get their hands on, though, and it is driving me nuts. My boyfriend is still trying to take care of his entire family and I can't support them as well as my own family. He just doesnt know where to draw the line between helping them out and completely supporting them, and honestly neither do I. Plus I feel very uncomfortable with them having any influence on my sons life. This really upsets my boyfriend because me saying i don't want them around my son makes him feel like he is not really the dad and that all of his contributions and fathering to my son have not meant anything. I can see where he is coming from, but I just don't know what else to do. I plan on having children with him that will be biologically connected to his family and I will still not want them near his family.

I don't know what to do and we will be getting married within the next couple years so I feel I need to find a solution or at least strike a balance that will ease up the tension between his family and I.

Question #17:

why does erybody condemn weed?

I think its stupid that so many condemn it as evil, while its proven healthier than alcohol and its healthier than cigarettes.

Of course, there are people who shouldn't smoke, but there's also people who shouldn't drink,

Weed isn't a depressant like alcohol, it has no proven long term side affects, while alcohol does.

You never hear of somebody getting high then beating their wife and kids.

It just makes you happy and relaxed. it relieves stress in a safe way, its cheap and fun, no physical addictiveness, so why is everyone against it?

You show me a person who doesnt like weed, whos tried it, and ill show you a liar.

Fun fact, last year in high school, when i started smoking, my gpa went up from 4.0 one trimester to 4.2 the next! So as long as you are responsible and get your shit done, who cares and why?
abra- i feel exactly the same way, seeing as im still in HS, i need to dedicate myself to other things, im not a pot head in the sense that it interferes with other things, but im a recreational smoker where, on average, unless its a special week i smoke maybe once or twice and thats it.

Question #18:

Dating a guy with a baby ... ?

So, my 21-year old boyfriend has a 14-month old daughter who (from what he tells me) is a great child. He, himself, works two jobs, has his own apartment, has his own car, and of course cares for the baby before anything in his life. He told me about the past relationship of him and his baby's mom, and things didn't go so well. From what I know, she cheated on him with another guy while she was pregnant and after the baby was born and she is still with the guy she cheated on my boyfriend with. I do want a long-term relationship with him and I do see myself being with him for a VERY long time. When we are together we are so happy and we are extremely comfortable with each other. And I know that I can love the baby as well and that wouldn't be a problem for me. I just don't like the way his baby's mother feels about our relationship and I don't want me and her having to be a big problem later. I just want to be happy with him and the baby and the same as he wants to be happy with the baby and me.

My boyfriend himself does not get along with the baby's mother at all and only speaks to her for the baby's sake; he gets to see the child every weekend (the baby stays overnight at his apartment). I could know for sure that he has and wants nothing to do with his baby's mother because he has brought me around his family and friends and they all like me.

But I don't want to be selfish and I completely understand that there will be times where the baby comes first (I have no problem). I just need some useful advice and no judgment, it's not an easy situation so I will definitely appreciate as much advice as I can get.
My concern is whether or not it will work out or if things are going to get really ugly? And we will have time to spend with each other? And what about the baby mama drama and stuff how much of it should I expect?

Question #19:

When you are working as a CNA in a long-term care facility, which shift has less work?

Question #20:

We have long term problems but only short term solutions?

Starting with more recent history: Iraq and Afghanistan Wars, anyone hear of the exit strategy? TARP/GM/AIG bailout (TARP mostly has been paid back) but, did anyone hear of what the loan terms were? You or I wouldn't be able to get a loan/mortgage without payment terms. Stimulus - unemployment still high, GDP revised down. Cash for clunkers - short term spike in car sales. Home Buyer credit - short term spike in home sales. Health Care - tax and increase premium costs now to pay for it later. No real plan for Social Security - Medicare - Medicaid (long term problems).
I would like to see an actual comprehensive plan from either party that would look like a Long Term Business plan to ensure fiscal well being for this Nation.
