My dog is fearless when it comes to animals in the yard or, as we had lived in a sketchy neighborhood the past decade, weird-looking people. But, in our new country home, my cooking set off a fire alarm and he bolted out the door with his tail between his legs. He's an old-timer now, so all's forgiven, but I guess we better keep our 9-volt fire alarm batteries fresh.

We just started potty training my son (33 months) and decided to go the route of underwear with timed trips to the potty. I know there are bound to be accidents at the start but he seems to be having A LOT! He did go in the potty his very first morning after waking and then once after dinner (milk) the first day. Then again the next morning after waking. And we got the timing right one more time that day for a second successful potty. Otherwise they've ALL been accidents - basically around 10 a day. This morning he had his night time diaper on for too long so he didn't even the successful morning potty. We just had an accident EXACTLY as the timer went off. I KNOW he is treating the underwear as diapers. Yes, he says "uh oh" after he pees when he realizes he is wet. But from the way he acts, it's an after thought. When we put his night time diaper on, he doesn't act like that is any different than the underwear that he is wearing during the day. I don't think he is really understanding any difference between wearing big boy underwear and wearing diapers. And he doesn't have any older siblings and no cousins who are around enough who can "model" that for him. His father is a farmer so he works long hours this time of year. I think there is something he is not totally understanding to really start the process. I have contemplated just taking a small break and coming back to it. But I've also contemplated just having him go naked. I know people have had LOTS of success with this. But most of those people also say that once they try to put underwear on their child, they almost go 2 steps backwards. So for those of you who had success with naked training, how did you transition to underwear? Or was it just a struggle? And would this be a good idea for me? Or should we just take a break?

Can a young man age 35 have old timer disease
09/03/2010 02:14 AM
I was just wondering how are actors and actresses able to remember such long scripts for a movie when my memory is so bad and I can't remember what someone looks like after they leave my sight. I just don't understand, how do they do it, is there a trick to it or something. Sometimes I feel as if I'm the only idiot who has problems remembering stuff and I'm not even that old but I've always had memory problems, and yes I got checked and my health is good, I just can't remember shit and it pisses me off. I especially envy young kids who are in movies and they remember their lines so well. I see people with no experience, first timers just go and do a movie with no problems, they're just able to remember a whole script, just like that. I don't get it. Does anyone have a clue?

My 13 day old baby hammies are fighting. They've never drawn blood, but they do squeak a lot. I understand that they might just be playing around, I'm just concerned and what the best for my hamsters. :) I can't separate them because, first, I can't touch them yet (just one more day!), and second, they're still nursing. Oh, and is it normal for them to still be nursing at almost 2 weeks old? And once they stop nursing should I change the water bottle into a water bowl just in case they don't know how to use it, or will the mother teach them? Shes a first timer, and she doesn't seem to know what she's doing. Thanks :D

Ok, so here's a little background... Recently I purchased a Pioneer avh-p4200dvd touch screen to replace my old fold-out avh-7500dvd. I used the same relay to bypass the parking break that I wired for my old unit (for educational purposes of course). I'm using the same aftermarket door chime module which has the 12v constant running out of it, so I've never had to run a different 12v wire from under the steering wheel like a lot of wiring kits call for. I'm using the same backup camera that I used for my other head unit. I've never had a single problem with my old head unit other than the fact that I hated the ipod interface. Once I installed the new head unit, every so ofter the sound cuts completely off (no lights dim, and nothing weird happens on the head unit screen like blinking, dimming, the timer keeps counting down, etc). It doesn't happen when I hit bumps (or come back on for that matter). My factory voltage meter goes down to about 10-11v, my bass amp kicks back on, my high amp kicks back on, and the voltage returns to 14v and my sound comes back. Then every so often it does it again. Sometimes it stays out for 10-15 secs or more, some times 1 sec or 2. Sometimes a bunch in a row. The amps themselves switch to protection when they cut-off. My two 1 Farad capacitors (2 Rockford Fosgate digital caps that are relatively new, and barred together with a distribution block and powered by one 4 gauge wire running from the battery.) say 14v when I start the vehicle (a 2003 Chevy Tahoe), and after about a minute they creep down to like 12.8v or so and stay there. I have a yellow top Optima if that helps. I recently replaced my alternator as well with a little larger one then what came with the truck. I just had my battery and alternator checked and they tested very well. My amps are an Infiniti 4-channel (75w x 4), and a Rockford Fosgate 2 channel (275wx2) running to two Rockford Fosgate DVC 10's (both rated to 300w). I'm running Rockford Fosgate components in the front door, and Rockford Fosgate 3 ways in the back doors, which are fairly low wattage. I've tried re-grounding everything up front to the frame (I'm also using a Pioneer add-on CD-BTB200 bluetooth unit). I've tried going over all of the wiring in my wiring harness (at least 20 times now). I've tried different sources and they all do the same thing (ipod, radio, dvd, etc.). I'm at a loss and really frustrated. I suppose it could be the head unit, the place I bought it from said they would replace it, but I have to pay a $40 processing fee to get a replacement, and I don't want to do that if it's just going to do the same with a new unit. My only theory is that the remote turn on wire is having an issue or something. How would I test that back at my amps? With a voltage meter? More importantly, what do I need to do to fix it if it is the remote turn on, just run another one? What else could it be? Thank you so much for your time in reading this. I really appreciate it.

I've been getting into the blues lately - the old timers; Robert Johnson, Blind Willie Johnson, Bline Lemon Jefferson, Son House; the newcomers - The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton. But I've come across something quite strange, very bluesy but unusual. This song: Katonah by Rufus Wainwright. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVIC-afy3JU Although I've never heard anything like it, it REALLY sounds like the blues (even though it's not traditional 12 bar 4/4 blues), and I was wondering who I should listen to, in which direction I should go if I want to listen to Blues that sounds likes this: the sad, waltzy, piano kind of blues. Thanks!

I have a 9-month old boxer that has a problem. I have 4 kids (14, 11, 10, and 9), a cat that is in the basement and outside, and another boxer that's 5 years old. My baby has been peeing on our floor since we got her at 1 month, and we are getting really sick of it, especially since my house always smells like it now. We set the timer for 50 minutes and keep resetting it, but sometimes it could be RIGHT after the timer goes off that pee will be found on the floor. My kids sometimes don't watch her, and she'll go on the floor, but she will NEVER go on the floor or chew anything up when I'm home. Our other boxer was NEVER like this. After we had him for 3.5 weeks, he was trained. We crate train her, just like we did with our other dog, but sometimes we'll come home to find that she's peed in her crate. (We took out her carpet a while ago because it was pointless to keep washing it.) What's even weirder is that she'll maybe try to hide it, for instance, sometimes we'll find her with yellow paws. I don't want to get rid of her but I am just about at my wit's end. Please help me! By the way, she IS smart and she KNOWS what's going on.

This is an ongoing struggle in my house. The kids get in the tub and play around. They are old enough to bathe themselves and my oldest is old enough to want the door closed but unless I yell multiple times to hurry up they would stay in there an hour. We can't dally until all hours of the night but nothing has worked. I've tried everything from ignoring it thinking the thrill would go away and standing at the door from the moment they set foot in the tub. I've tried timers and eliminating reading time. The ONLY thing that works is my physically soaping them up and draining the water for them which is CRAZY at their age and I certainly can't do that forever. I need some ideas and solutions from adults on this one.

But Wat bothering me is i shared today to another young lady in the groups who wasnt having problems with the drug. she couldnt change her ppl places and things. And my heart went out to her because i remember being there all too recently. anyways I shared that i learned in the program that it wasnt about the drugs it was about the behaviors. I mean which came first? the drug or the behavior that lead to the drug? In my case it was the latter. But this old timer with 16 years told me it was always about the drug. Now My question is that we pro

i have a maytag side by side around 10 years old that doesn't want to cool below 50 degrees on the cool side and not less than 20 degrees on the frozen food side the defroster is working because i've replaced it along with the defrost timer and the defrost thermostat i have also cleaned out underneath around the condenser and all the fans seem to be working , when I turn the thermostat off it will shut of completely but lowering the thermostat won't make it cool any better, all I can figure is that it possibly has a leak of the freon or one of the thermostats inside is malfunction my best guess is the freon or is there another possibility?

I have a 5 year old gas dryer. The timer works correctly, but it won't stay running. I tested the door switch, and it seems to be working properly. I replaced the start switch, and it still shuts off immediately. If I force the start switch to stay on, then the timer works correctly, and the clothes come out warm and dry. I received an electric shock from the dryer just before all this started. It was lightning strike related, so I'm sure it is an electric component problem. I'm just not sure which one to look at next. Any thoughts? thought about the gas sensor, but the gas lights, and the clothes dry....

I was working for Walmart. I worked there about two months. The managers constantly followed me around EVERYWHERE. I'm pretty sure I was the only one they did this to. At first it was whatever, if they want to follow me around, fine, I don't really care. I just did my job and went home. But then this new manager started and she started constantly coming up to me telling me to "Work faster" "get a sense of urgency" this was happening like 7 or 8 times in a night. This started 3 weeks after my employment started. I complained to several different people including another manger (higher than her). Nothing was done to stop it. She was constantly walking up to me during my job and giving me 20 minutes lectures about my "times" (you have to make a case a minute). I hadn't even been there more than 4 days when the old manager did this. This would stop my work and rack up more time. They refused to stop the timer timing us while we were on our lunch and breaks. (basically counting our lunch and our breaks against us) The harassment from this manager first started when I went to the bathroom one night and was gone for 10 minutes. She called me in the office and gave me a "coaching" on time theft. For going to the bathroom? Then one night she put me back in toys. Was the first time I had EVER worked in that area stocking. She told me to finish out my CBLs (a computer movie training course) Which took an hour and a half. Then claimed there was only a half a pallet of toys to stock, when there were three pallets of toys to stock when I got there. An hour after I got done with CBLs and went to work she walked up to me and yelled at me for doing the CBLs and then yelled at me because I have four kids and din't know where all the toys at walmart were. (who has four kids, works at walmart and can afford to know where every single toy at walmart is.) She told me again that I needed to have a sense of urgency. It finally got so bad from her doing this I just had to quit because I couldn't handle her harassment any longer. I tried to go to the managers above her and they did NOTHING about this...can I sue? First of all, I NEVER have and NEVER will present myself to any employer in a disrespectful way. So for whoever said that, that is uncalled for. Second, it's not illegal to count breaks and lunch hours against employees? Thats news to me...I'm sure that is illegal. I think you're wrong about her not doing anything illegal and it not being harassment... Third, how is going to the bathroom TIME THEFT??? I thought employers had to allow you to go to the bathroom, and also get drinks, oh look there another illegal thing they do, they don't allow their employees ANYTHING to drink, and the also don't allow them to go to the drinking fountain. And BTW 4 employees have quit/been fired for telling her off. They have also been known to fire someone for injuring themselves on the job The second night I worked, I was instructed to pull a 300lb produce load by myself with no pusher when I did I pulled my shoulder out. They fired me the next day. Then called me back in to work. Oh and to the person who thought "coaching" is some sort of "Training program" no it's nice talk for "we are going to sit you down in the office (or on the floor in front of customers in my case) and chew your butt out for something you did" "from your post you seem to be more interested in blaming everyone else and no interest in taking responsibility for your job performance. you were NOT harassed and this is NOT a hostile work environment......." WOW....Did you take the same class as her in being a dick? Just curious. First of all...I am NOT blaming her for MY actions, I AM blaming HER for HER actions that lead to MY retalliation in actions. And second, did you miss the part where I was a NEW employee? I WAS trying, how can I just KNOW where everything in the store is if they NEVER give me a chance to learn? And I don't appreciate your attacking and accusing me of being lazy. I am FAR from lazy, as a matter of fact, I SELDOMLY get a chance to sit down. I work 24/7 with my four children and 35 hours a week at a job. LAZY IS SOME JACK A S S THAT THINKS HE KNOWS SOMEONE HE DOESNT AND SITS AT HIS COMPUTER ALL DAY ON YAHOO ANSWERS. So the next time you feel like accusing a parent of 4 of being lazy, get to know them

My daughter wants hers done. My gut instinct says "not until you are older". Her Daddy says that if I say no, that is our "joint decision" and he'll support it, but if she can reason on her own that holes are really the same as cuts so it'll hurt when they do them and they might be itchy and sore for a few days, and still want to do it, then she's obviously put a lot of thought into it. He says we need "to pick our battles." If we give her an age, all we are doing is starting a countdown timer, and he thinks we should draw a truce on this one. We should explain that we'll help her look after them, but she needs to show she can be responsible enough to play her part. If she agrees with us on what kind of earrings are suitable, then we make her a chart. She earns gold stars by staying out of trouble and brushing her teeth without being nagged, and gets black spots for misbehaving or being cheeky. When she gets enough points (stars minus spots) she earns her studs.

I live in an older home, the dining room currently has a hanging light fixture however you need to plug it into the wall to use it. I would like to wire the light fixture into the ceiling and have a regular switch mounted on the wall to avoid any accidents with my 10 month old daughter crawling around. The dining room is on the first floor of a 2 storey house so there is no access from the attic. I took down the current fixture to see if perhaps there were any wires in the ceiling from an older fixture that may have been there and there are, not sure what kind or how safe they are. There is also an old light timer on the wall but I'm not sure if the two are wired to each other. My father is pretty handy and might be to help or should I get an estimate from an electrician? I know this could turn into a big job, fishing wires through to a switch and so forth but I'm looking for an easy fix and as inexpensive as possible.

Single guy, below avg laundry. I often forget and it really gets clogged. On top of that, the timer of my dryer is broken and an expensive fix. Anyway, I want to set up an email reminder to remind me to clean it out. How often ? every 45 days ? 2 months ? Thanks PS, its a kenmore. Probably 12 years old. No problem with it except the timer broke. Had a guy that would have fixed it but the part was expensive so I didn't bother. I have, once or twice left it on all night. I will never remember every use. I will remind myself once a month. Thanks

I was working at a credit union as a teller for about two years. I left the job because it did not offer me enough hours(20), it was far from my house (about 25 miles), and I felt stuck in the same position because we were only allowed to do teller work..nothing ever related to member service rep work. So I found a job at another credit union as a member service rep....which is basically a teller but I open new accounts, certificates and all the stuff a personal banker would do except loans. Now I work 28-30 hours a week and live 10 miles from work. I was so excited with this new job...I still like my job I just don't like the ppl there. I work with all women(about 7) and I swear its like they are always PMSing. I mean I am a woman but my goodness, I have never dealt with such sensitive, deceiving, two-faced women before, it should really be crime! Something is always bothering someone there. But any way, it is really bothering me, it is hard to work under this stress. What should I do? I graduate fall 2011 with my BA in Finance and most likely I will be moving because my fiance(who I live with right now) will join the navy and I will move with him. Constructive criticism please. Thanks in advance. Should I quit my PT job and take a loan out to pay for my bills? Also, this job does not work with your school schedule like my old one does, which I had no prior knowledge of, I had to include this because I am trying to take more courses in future semesters and one of the other part timers at work is going to get "let go" because her school schedule does not work with her work schedule. And when you get toward your junior and senior level courses in college, most of the time they only offer that course at one time only. I know my fiance will tell me not to since we will be moving in a year so I just want to get more opinions on this. Thanks

we got her when she was a puppy, for three years we have tried training her. We love her so much and she is so sweet to us but she is untrainable! She still poos and pees inside the house. And she will go anywhere. We have tried cleaning our carpets professionally and starting her training over, but nothing works. We will not crate train her because she has separation anxiety. She's really a spaz. We know she can do well with other dogs, she gets along great with my grandparents dogs. But any other dog she will try to attack. She is very hard to walk, so we tried various harnesses to make her more comfortable. But she insists on pulling and choking herself on the harness, she will wheeze and cough it seems. So walking her is scary, I don't want her to hurt herself. She is also very crazy when the doorbell rings, knocking, the washing machine timer, any sudden noises set her off. This dog has a lot of problems and we cannot figure them out. Any advice besides crate training would be great. The pott issue is the worst. I take her out every hour and lets her do whatever for 10 minutes or so, but she comes inside and by the time our other dog is done I walk in to see poo or a pee puddle. I don't understand why she does this and I can never catch her in the act to verbally punish her, so she gets no punishment at all because I don't want to confuse her. Just someone HELP!! I didn't post this for general advice. This is my mothers dog. She has a master, but my mom doesn't put in the training time. She doesn't want to crate her but it's getting to that point. I've done the leash thing and kept her tethered to me all summer! And when I turn my back to like do dishes she pottys inside! It is so frustrating. Now next week I'm going back to school and I cant keep her with me anymore. Everyone in the house either works or is in school. The crate thing sounds like a good idea if we could teach her it's a good thing, but I don't want it to scare her or cause anxiety. I've been trying all kinds of methods for three years, so don't tell me what I did or didn't do please, I'm looking for new ways or reative ideas to train her. I've done the clicker thing, the leash, verbal punishment, and regular training. She just doesn't respond.

I just stayed at my dads for the last few weeks, for my sisters wedding, having not seen my family for two years due to living in Australia, anyway before I jetted back to Oz from UK, I decided to do prank on my dad for old times sake, as staying in the house brought back child hood memories. I'm 27 now, anyway, I hid four alarm clocks in his room to go off at different times on the night I had left back to Australia, and said my goodbyes. The fourth alarm being a truck horn to go off through a timer. Anyway, my stepmother having no sense of humour, phoned up me saying I'm a complete dick, saying that she always thought I was the cunt out of my dads children anyway, and that I'm no longer welcome back to the house I grew up in. My father won't say anything, he pretty much is her lap dog, and says, I need to grow up. I can't believe he would shut his own son out just because of her.

My husband and I pretty much decided last Friday we'd start casually looking at homes to buy (first timers). Housing prices are not only bottomed out in our area, but interest rates are insanely low as well which is a rare pair. I have excellent credit, we have a small down payment, we love this area-The stars seem to be aligning. Anyway, we went to an open house Sunday afternoon and instantly fell in love. This house is perfect for our little family-Great commute, great neighborhood, big backyard, huge patio, a workshop for handy hubs. It's beyond amazing and at a DARN good price (been on the market for 6 mo and already dropped 15k). Things started moving quickly from there and a mortgage company that specializes in government/VA (we're military) loans drew up a pre-qualification letter for us. Upon giving the lender our info a past demon came up in my husband's credit history that I was unaware of. I knew he had a few fiascos, but he's done very well in my past five years, since meeting me! : ) What I didn't know was that he co-signed for a later repossessed Honda. I vaguely knew about something that occurred with a car, but this was back in 2004 (he thought it was 2003) and assumed all was well again. We now how to explain this. It's the only thing holding us back. Any suggestions on how he should explain the situation? I believe the repo was voluntary. It is SO old, but I know, it's still a black mark. We also snagged the bottom of the barrel interest rate in our pre-approval letter, so that will probably go out the window if they don't decide to say: "No go!" Am I correct? I'm desperately seeking advice, help, anything. None of my friends have ever faced this, nor have I found anything in any search engines or websites referencing this particular situation. Any lenders in the house? Please!!! Thank you! : ) Note: I spoke with the lender over the phone while he was doing the credit report and because I didn't know the details of the matter, I informed him that I'd get back to him and he sent the pre-approval guarding it was in error or unless it was explainable. I just discovered after lots of searching, that the most recent activity on this account occurred in 01/2006. However, the listing in his credit report is not entirely accurate. First of all, it only reads "joint" but does not include the name of the person he was co-signed to. It also does not reflect the fact that the car was sold at auction and apparently it was. He offered an explanation that he was the co-signer and unaware that payments weren't being made per Experian. I don't necessarily want to negotiate with an evil collections company, but we'd certainly consider paying 25-50% of the auction balance...IF they agreed to take it OFF or change the status to paid as agreed in writing.

...the words "Senior Living." To me it's like the "Whites Only" racist signs only its exclusion in reverse. In other words, younger men, women and children don't belong here. This is where you discard the old timers so they can associate with those of their species. It's a kind of leper colony for old age lest you catch it by association. What do you think? Should we have segregated living for seniors? Is this what most seniors truly want or do they want to continue being part of life, respected, and cherished for their life experience?

Okay, overall I love my OB. I've had a very low-risk pregnancy, so I don't see him any more often than the monthly check-ups yet, but every time he seems nice enough. One thorn that has been sticking in my paw this whole time though, is that I don't believe my due date is correct. They say Nov 14th, I say Oct 27th. Yeah yeah, I know that's not a big difference, but I guess maybe I'm just a bit anal. I asked him last week at my appt if it was possible that they were wrong about my due date, and he was very condescending, saying that all babies grow at the same rate and that's how they know how old they are. I'm sorry, but they thought I was waaaay early because I was barely 4 lbs when I was born and I came before they said I would. However, my mom knew when she concieved, and was expecting me right around when I came. I feel like maybe my kid is just little. Is this possible? I realize it doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, but I wish the doctors would admit that they don't have access to a magic timer that says when the baby will come. All they can tell is how big she is. Not when she'll pop!

Our daughter will be 3 on the 16th. She has been showing interest in going potty for about 9 months. We have tried every method; bribery, rewards, naked, books, timers and simply letting it be her idea. Nothing seems to be working. We noticed the only time she will actually stop what she is doing and say "I have to go pee" is when she is in the bathtub. We have thought about just letting her be completely naked at home with a dress so she has "nothing" to catch her pee or poop. Now she is taking off her diaper when she pees and attempting to put on a new one. Everyone keeps saying she will do it herself. But when is this magical day coming? What worked for you or what suggestions do you have? We have had "potty training vacations" and that just slows down progress. I have talked to the doctor about this. Her doctor told me not to worry just yet because I just had a baby 7 weeks ago, to just continue to work and by time she is 3.5 years old she should be fully potty trained. Mom of two - We have tried food and wearing just panties. With food, she thinks she gets a reward anytime she does something good. And in panties she just pees and poops and does not care. We have tried EVERYTHING. Her potty asks "Do you want to be a big girl like me?" She says "Ya" I said well you have to go potty on the potty and she said "No, mommy you go potty on the potty, I like my buzz (she wears boy pull ups which I am no longer buying, just using the leftover ones)

I'm putting together a little slide show for a family reunion and need some ideas for "timeless" classical music. The photos are set from about 1900-1960. Not looking for anything that is extremely somber or extremely upbeat, but something nostalgic enough to bring back good memories for the old timers. Please help all of you classical music experts!
