something that you regret.
don't let others make the same mistake
thank you for your time and wisdom.What advice can you give to someone just starting out in life?
1) Don't get into credit card debt. Credit is huge especially now. If you have debt pay it off asap. 2) If you have student loans, prioritize to pay them off, ie. sacrifice tax refunds, bonuses, etc. because if you don't the loan may still be with you for decades and when you have a mortgage, family and other bills this loan can become a major thorn on your side. 3) If you are a single woman, don't ever be desperate for a guy to marry you. There's a man somewhere that will love you and do anything for you. 4) Be a whole person before marriage, a man will never complete you, they will only complement you and be a companion in life. 5) Don't lose touch with good friends, it's easy to do when you're young and move around, but there will come a day when it's all been said and done, you'll probably be married with children and sometimes you hit a wall and really start missing old friends that you lost touch with and when you try to reconnect, it's like too much time went by and it's never the same again.What advice can you give to someone just starting out in life?
I've been around for awhile and I;ve been around some great wonderful people and unfortunately some not so good people who hurt me. I have not let what others done to me to retaliate I have not stooped to their level and I feel very good about myself for that.
Be a good person and it will come back to you.
My advice would be to be responsible, respectable %26amp; take time to smell the roses. Life goes pretty fast and you cannot turn back time, so enjoy life . good luck to you

What advice would you pass on to someone just about to start grad school?
Make sure that your values dictate how you spend your time. I know that when I started grad school, I wanted to please my professors and eventually I said ';yes'; to so many responsibilities that I got overwhelmed. This is a disservice to them and yourself because you won't be able to do your work well if you don't have as much time to spend on any one thing. So, my advice is, choose carefully about what projects and what activities you want to spend your time on. This means: don't take too many classes in one term, don't take on too much teaching/TA/RA responsibility.
I would include that you shouldn't put your life on hold for graduate school. When I started grad school my attitude was ';I'll just sacrifice these two years of my life and focus only on school and then pick things up when I finish.'; I've found that I'm much happier when I continue non-school activities that are important to me while I continue to pursue my graduate studies. If you look to your professors for advice on this, they might share the attitude that ';everyone just gives up their life and happiness for a while to be a graduate student; that's the way it should be';. But I don't agree.
Ultimately, pushing yourself too hard and giving up things that you love can lead to poor health and feeling miserable. Keeping school in its proper place and perspective is really helping me. For example, I've decided that, for the rest of my grad school career, I will only teach one class per term, even though they want me to teach three classes a year. I think it'll help me to make sure that I have time to focus on other things in addition to school.What advice would you pass on to someone just about to start grad school?
Work hard and sleep well is my advice to youWhat advice would you pass on to someone just about to start grad school?
study from day one, don't leave things to pile up

What kind of advice do you have for someone who puts the effort in getting the grade, but doesn't get it?
I am super-interested in Economics and Mathematics. They both are subjects that I could study for the rest of my life. What kind of advice do you have for someone who puts in the effort, but has lower than normal scores in one of the subjects? I am doing great in Math. It's Economics I'm having trouble with. I understand the material, and I put my full effort in it, but the time and effort put into it isn't getting me the grades I feel I should have earned. So what could I do?What kind of advice do you have for someone who puts the effort in getting the grade, but doesn't get it?
Reflect as well as get a friend to comment what you have done wrong or not done. You may not have noticed it, but perhaps after many years of doing the same subject you might reflect and realise your mistake. So don't start late, start now. Sometimes a 2nd or 3rd opinion can aid you better.What kind of advice do you have for someone who puts the effort in getting the grade, but doesn't get it?
You have a very common problem. Sometimes when a person puts to much emphasis on one particular thing. They worry to much that they don't do well. Maybe your are in this situation. So relax when it comes time for the big exam.
Best of Luck
maybe it is the testing that is a problem
if you understand the material, but still score low, it could be you are not studying for the test
review the old exams, find the pattern of testing and see what you are missing
never give up and you will get them
more efforts are not enough. beside study hard u should also study smart coz study right in place is very important...

Do you think someone with 10 years of dating experience qualifies to give love advice here?
Why or why not?
Especially to teens.Do you think someone with 10 years of dating experience qualifies to give love advice here?
I think their are no qualifications to give advice. Life experience does mean a lot, but it's not everything. The whole purpose of Yahoo Answers is to get different perspectives from many different types of people to help you solve your problem. I think if this site required a certain level of experience to answer a question the answers wouldn't be any better and there would be fewer of them. Do you think someone with 10 years of dating experience qualifies to give love advice here?
have they experienced love?
that is a prerequisite I believe. The question doesn't necessarily mean that they have learned anything in their relationships.
especially to teens?
I really don't think that anyone on here, especially teens, should be asking for advice. I think that you need to experience everything on your own. So I say take the good and the bad. You can't appreciate love without having your heart ripped out and stomped on the floor right in front of you.
The advice on here is pretty worthless if you have read some of it. I have seen comments that could destroy a relationship without letting the other person get a chance.
I would say yes. Any experience in dating gives you some knowledge and growth. But, the person receiving the advice would have to keep in mind that these are average people and therefore the advice is not what you would receive from a professional relationship counselor. Everyone has been through the teen years, so everyone can give some advice. But, those in their 80's had much different experiences in their teens than today's teens. I'm 24 and I've been dating since I was 15. I feel qualified to give advice to teens. But then again, I don't answer questions that I don't have any experience with. It is much easier to see both sides of the situation when you are not directly or personally involved in that situation.
Of course..You don't have to have 10 years of experience to answer some of these questions on here. Some are just common sense that some people have just forgot it seems. Its all about putting yourself in that persons situation, using past experience or just common sense to answer the questions on here. Most people think they are qualified to give advice and there not but they still do so anyone and everyone whether there qualified or not still give advice
Well, theres a lot of variables to take into account. the first being, teenagers, by design are pretty dumb. Especially when it comes to matters of the heart. Second, ten years don't account to much if you don't have anything to show for it. I could date for 20 people in 10 years, i could date 10 in 10 years, but obviously its showing something isn't working. And most importantly, in 10 years of dating, its entirely possible to never have tasted the bittersweet tang of love. And that, is the nail in the coffin for giving love advice
I hope im making sense. In my head, its crystal clear.
Yes. Experience is something to go by. And while other people can read stuff off the internet or put their two cents in, the person with experience is talking from the heart and has probably been through whatever it is that they are giving advice on.
Everyone has the right to answer questions on Yahoo!Answers, so no one should knock anyone else's answers. People with experience know what they're talking about, but if you don't agree, then don't worry about it. They are only trying to help.
I don't see why not. Ten years of experience is more than adequate in other fields that require advice. I think it's all about the way that you approach the person seeking advice, especially when its a teenager. So as long as you don't dominate the conversation, it should go over just fine.
I don't think it's necessarily the years of experience that count, but how experience-filled those years were. A person can have 20 years of dating experience and still not know as much as someone who had more pitfalls and ups and downs during 10 years of dating experience.
It depends. Maybe if it sounds logical but just because they've been dating for 10yrs doesn't mean they're doing it right....maybe there's a reason (a bad one at that) that they've been dating around for 10yrs and can't find someone that will stick with them. Just follow your heart w/e it is.....friends have always given me advice but I always end up doing what I think will make me happy in the end. Goodluck :)
who cares, you know there are people out there who give advice and they dont have 10 years of experience, this isnt a job and no experiece or qualifications are needed, in the end if the person who asked the question is happy with your answer thats all that matters, right?
Not necessarily. I mean just because they've been around doesn't mean they have their heads screwed on better than someone that has been dating for say, 4 years.
One would assume that person is better equipped to give advice but it isn't a given imo.
I think everyone qualifies to give advice here. That's why it's called advice. It's not a professional, paid comment. It's just my experience, and yours, and hers, and his -- we each bring something different to the table.
No, experience does not necessarily make you expert at something. Lewis Hamilton is a young inexperienced yet brilliant driver. My mother is an experienced motorist but is probably the worst driver in the world.
I dont think anyone should give anybody advice about love.. because its impossible to know a persons situation.. thoughts.. feelings.. I think people listening to peoples advice about love is how people mess up there relationships but trying to place someone elses views into there relationship
They qualify. That doesn't mean their answers will always be right, though, since situations can vary so much. Someone with a month of dating experience might be more familiar with a certain situation than someone who has dated for ten years.
No, they don't.
the only way that someone should give advice is if they use though same strategies, don't speak and advise if you yourself are walking down the path blindly.
i think anyone with some common sense and experience can give love advice to anyone... just having another person look at a situation might be the thing you need to solve the problem or dilemma because they have a fresh view about the topic
I don't think anyone qualifies to give love advice. Love means something different to everyone and the situations are never the same.
Everyone is qualified to give advice...
...but you should only take the advice of those mature enough to follow their own advice.
It depends on what type of experience they've had in the past ten years.
If they've slept around for the past ten years, I certainly wouldn't want them giving advice to my teen daughter.
yes,i do. they have been out there and have many experiences that will help others along the way to finding the right person for them.
umm....that depends. I think if someone has had one good relationship or good relationships over time then they would be good to talk to about love because they know the ups and downs of relationships.
I think we all take a shot. Personally, I also had a long single/dating life but I've learned a lot more about love from my marriage.
yea i guess so..you can give me some advie...i need it!

Please could you give me some advice about cm?
Hi, my husband and I are planning to start ttc. I came off the pill (dianette) in Jan '07. I've been taking the pre-natal vits/fc and recording my cycle in prep for trying. I have also been trying to look for signs of fertility by looking at my cm. At the moment I am due to ovulate approx. tomorrow (based on an ovulation calendar) but my cm is quite dry and not of an egg white type consistency. Does this matter and can I conceive if I don't have the stretchy fertile cm? Any sensible/sensitive advice appreciated. Thanks.Please could you give me some advice about cm?
HELLO! I WENT OFF THE PILL IN FEB. AND FOR THE LAST 2 MONTHS, I HAVE FINALLY EXPERIENCED GLOBS OF JELLYLIKE MUCUS MIDCYCLE. WHEN IT COMES, IT ONLY LASTS FOR A DAY, SO I THINK I HAVE A SHORT WINDOW FOR FERTILIZATION.I WENT OFF THE PILL A YEAR OR SO AGO FOR 4 MONTHS AND NEVER HAD THIS JELLYLIKE MUCUS.HOWEVER, I HAVE HEARD THAT YOU CAN BE OVULATING WITHOUT ACTUALLY SEEING THE MUCUS. I HAVE READ ON THIS WEBSITE ACCOUNTS OF PEOPLE NEVER HAVING THE EWCM, BUT GETTING PREGNANT. THERE IS A POSSIBLITY YOU ARE OVULATING, BUT JUST NOT SEEING THE MUCUS. PERHAPS THOUGH LIKE ME, IT JUST TAKES AWHILE FOR IT TO START SHOWING UP. GOOD LUCK!Please could you give me some advice about cm?
Get an EPT ovulation predictor. It will tell you your 2 best days to conceive.
I would guess that you are not going to ovulate yet. You have to have the egg-white consistency or your cm is actualy hostile, meaning it can be harmful to sperm. Usually ovulation does not occur without egg-white cm present. I would wait a few days, possibly try an ovulation predictor kit to see how close you are to ovulation.
That said, having sex now, and over the next few days, will allow sperm to be present when you do ovulate.

Be humble always and listen to and respect your mentor. You will find that tattoo artists are very careful in the beginning but give them a year and suddenly the immature punks get big heads and suddenly think they are rock stars and start messing up.
Don't become that punk. Know and understand there is a very long learning curve to this industry and patience, respect, and perseverance pays off. Good luck.
Edit notes....on the ';practice'; bit - remember, only ';perfect'; practice makes perfect - don't practice unless you LEARN well or you will engrave poor techniques and habits into your brain that are difficult if not impossible to break from.If your a tattoo artist whats advice would you give some one just starting?
Practice on melons. Honeydew to be precise.
And repeat the first word until you bust. Practice, practice. practice.

When my Granpa was on his death bed and wasn't expected to make it through the night, he pulled out an antique pocket watch and said he's always wanted me to have it. After he sold it to me, he said, ';Alwyas look for the beauty in everything';.
I'd have to say that was his best advice.What is the best piece of advice you got from your wise old grandma or grandpa? The worst?
My grandpa used to give my brother and me $20 at at time --slip it to us, and tell us not to tell our parents! Woo Hoo! He'd always say ';Don't spend it all in one place!'; And I always remember that when I have extra cash, to be sure to save some in case I need it or want to spend it on something else!
';let people know how you feel, if you don't you might not have the chance later';. Best advice ever. - and then she also told me to
';love with your whole heart, not just piece of it.';
I didn't have any grandparents, but I did have LOTS of aunts %26amp; uncles..so, the best? ';Buy land, 'cause they aren't making any more of it.,'; my Uncle Charlie. ';Be kind to all you meet ';, Aunt Mary. I never got any bad advice from any of them.
My grandmother used to say '; You can live in hope even if you die in despair.';
To never own a credit card... he said that was his only wish. So I have never owned one, and after hearing about all my friends having debt from those.... I am SO happy he said that!
Work hard and have faith. You will get whatever you want...

Do you have any Credit card advice?
I need to transfer a balance to a 0% card, can you recommend a credit card with a great deal on transfers?Do you have any Credit card advice?
http://www.cardrewards.net/balance-trans鈥?/a> offers the best balance transfer cards with 0% apr for up to 15 months. Most cards are about 12 months, and have platinum credit lines so you can transfer large amounts over and save on interest fees.Do you have any Credit card advice?
Probably it will help you))) I work at a web-site for online credit card applications. The best balance transfer credit card at our site (based on the visitors' choice) is Discover More card. You can see the details of this plastic in the link below.
Capital One usually has good deals/rates.
just watch the fine print on some of these balance transfers, there is a fee attached to a lot of them, alot of banks will offer you the zero percent or a low percentage for a certain amt of time but also charge you up to 4% of the amount you are tranferring over, usually the max is $75 so you'll have to weigh your options on if you can pay it off before the period ends and also if you'll already be paying 75 or less on interest with the company you are already with.
If you can snag a 0% with no fee attached, thats great, but finding those are getting harder. Just make sure you read your fine print so you dont get hit with extra fees.
Usually, those who don't need to tranfer their balance get these offers in mail all the time. Those who really do need it don't get them. I don't know if it's Murphy's law or credit companies are being smart.becca

Strip Clubs - Gentleman's Clubs - How do you start, how much capital needed - any advice?
Your major costs are going to be Venue (rent), retrofitting the building, security, Stock (alcohol, glasses ect) and Publicity.
The costs will range on the size of the planned venue and the intensity of your marketing plan. But to give a ball park figure for a low budget establishment probably around $20,000 in startup costs if you get special deals with alcohol distributors.
As far as the Girls go they are usually put on commision. The better they are the higher their % alternativly some girls pay the house a flat fee to work there for security and marketing then what ever they make on top of it is theirs.

What piece of advice have you been given that has changed your life? And who gave you that advice?
I'd like to know what has influenced other people to become who they are.What piece of advice have you been given that has changed your life? And who gave you that advice?
I grew up in a horrible place and had the worst childhood. I was 17, a single mother and had just gotten my GED. I was talking to a casual friend, a older guy (probably 45 at the time) one night at a meeting and he asked me what I was going to do now that I had my GED. I hadn't thought about it. lol. I was just living day to day. And he said I should go to college. No one had ever said that to me before. I had honestly never considered it as a possibility. I asked him ';What would I take in college? How would I pay for it?'; And he said that I would figure both out if I made the committment. He was right. The next day I went to the college and started filling out paperwork. I got a BA in history - I have $30,000 in student loans. lol. But I make three times that a year. It was one of the greatest achievements in my life. I am the only person in my family to ever go to college.
You never know when you will be the spark in someone elses life.What piece of advice have you been given that has changed your life? And who gave you that advice?
good question, i think that the advice would have to be person spicific. i have tried to share with others my life changing events and they don't seem affected. maybe its my sales skills. whoknows.
but for me it was when someone addressed a problem i was having and made light of it saying maybe it was just something that i needed to learn from and continue on. i have a problem getting stuck on things and this cleared up my thinking and was refreshing. i didn't immediatly change my life but it was a turning point. that set me up for things to come.
Just do it %26lt;%26lt; my mom.
It gets easier %26lt;%26lt; my dad.
Those pieces of advice totally changed how I perceived things. It was like overnight I changed into a whole different person 'cos everything seemed to make sense. When you just take responsibility and do things life is so much easier. I think that's what my parents are talking about ^_^ I know my sister had trouble waking up in her teenage years for school and my dad would always tell her ';it gets easier'; once you wake up. That's so true.
My grandmother told me 'if you haven't got your health you haven't got anything'.
She told me this in her later years as her health was fading, but I understood what she was trying to tell me.
Basically the message was look after yourself now while you are young and while you have control over life and try and keep it that way.
Education is a light load to carry. Given by maternal grandfather.
Do your best and that is enough. Said by my dad around finals in college.
My high school guidance counselor, Ms. Holmes, told me ';you have to realize that everyone isn't as smart as you are.'; When she said that, I didn't know if it was a compliment or a slight. Not to be arrogant, but all my life people have told me I'm highly intelligent, and when I was a teenager I thought that was one of the main reasons for people misunderstanding or resenting me. Popularity was never my strong suit, and I used to think that I had to choose between being true to myself and being accepted. But now I realize that I don't need to change who I am to fit in, but just have a flexible persona. That really makes life a lot easier. And if I come across a young person who reminds me of myself at their age I will tell them what Ms. Holmes told me, and I will also tell them this: Simple thinkers understand simple ideas. Complex thinkers understand complex ideas. But to take complex ideas and make them simple is the mark of genius.
borrow money only to invest in something that promises to return more than the cost of the interest. Never borrow to spend on consumer goods that depreciate. pay cash for all such things even if you must drive a beat up old car.
I have lived cheap, made a lot of easy money and drove some pretty far out older cars that are fun and cool to own and never had a car payment.
Buy real estate on leverage with other peoples money and ret them out for the payment then sell when they appreciate.
This was in an old book by Napoleans Hill ';Think and Grow Rich'; Think positive and believe in yourself. It has paid off well.
also.... ';never pay retail';
do you know know easy it is to get a wholesale license?
get one.
buy for a dollar and sell for two. its that simple folks.
';Don't show your emotions, just have them.'; An acting teacher. Made me a much better actor.
';You can be whatever you want to be.'; My mom.
';You learn more from failure than from success.'; Keith Johnstone
The advice was intrinsic in that I wanted to better myself, and decided to pursue higher education!!!
';'Treat another person the way you would like to be treated.'; I do not know from whom or how.
Another is '; there is always 2 sides to every story';
Iam 57 years old and I still hate this,'; Prejudice';. I am not not talking about race. Iam talking about prejudging people before you know anything about them.
';If you want something form somebody, ask. The worst that they can say is no.'; -Grandma
';Money is only paper, you can always accumulate more.'; -Grandma. Growing up, my parents always lived outside of their means. It caused a lot of arguments and ultimately lead to my parents' divorce. As an adult I constantly worry about money and status. When my grandmother told me this, it made me realize that there are more important things to worry about, and material items are not that important.

Can you give me some useful advice for a math exam I will be taking tomorrow?
Please! I need some good stimulating advice.I've been practicing for so long. I'm very nervous and I want to to get rid of all this adrenaline I have inside me and the exam is in 12 1/2 hours from now. The most thoughtful response will receive the points. Thank you ! :)Can you give me some useful advice for a math exam I will be taking tomorrow?
Try to maintain a positive attitude while preparing for the test and during the test.
Get a good night's sleep before the test.
Show up to class early so you won't have to worry about being late.
Stay relaxed, if you begin to get nervous take a few deep breaths slowly to relax yourself and then get back to work.
Read the directions slowly and carefully.
If you don't understand the directions on the test, ask the teacher to explain it to you.
Skim through the test so that you have a good idea how to pace yourself.
Write down important formulas, facts, definitions and/or keywords in the margin first so you won't worry about forgetting them.
Do the simple questions first to help build up your confidence for the harder questions.
Don't worry about how fast other people finish their test; just concentrate on your own test.
If you don't know a question skip it for the time being (come back to it later if you have time), and remember that you don't have to always get every question right to do well on the test.
Focus on the question at hand; don't let your mind wander on other things.

Are there any other beginning writers out there, if so do you have any advice?
I'm trying to write a trilogy of books in the fantasy/sci-fi genres and I would just like to hear any advice or anything you would like to share about writing.Are there any other beginning writers out there, if so do you have any advice?
I write the news you hear on the radio, but I'm also in the process of writing my autobiography. The main thing, based on the genre you mentioned with your question, is to make the story enjoyable to the reader. If it will let them escape reality for awhile, then it's a good story. Best of luck to you!Are there any other beginning writers out there, if so do you have any advice?
i write scripts for movies and all you need is your feelings, experience and a kick tukas idea ! thats all i got and my teacher thinks i am the most pehenominal writer out of everyone in our class !
Link below is to resources for science fiction writers. If you can find and join a local chapter of that group, you will learn about the people who edit, publish and support this genre.
I'm working on my first fiction book as well. My only advice would be to take each book individually. Once you write it, you will need to spend your time selling it before you start on the second book.
read the book on writing by stephen king, EXTREMELY helpful! i actually got that advice from another author. also take a writing workshop, also very helpful. let someone (professional) read your work, be prepared for any criticizing, but it'll help you in the long run. i promise. it's nice to see it from a different point of view.
I am a struggling writer
Practice makes perfect,
Realize that a lot of publishing is luck there are some great writer out there and some ones that make me want to puke
Finally learn the business side of it , agents , contracts, and such

What can i use for my puppy's swollen face? Please don't offer advice if you don't know. Thanks?
I came home and my 7 month old puppy had a spot on his face. Like it was scratched by him or maybe our cats. It is very tiny. What ever it was it had his lips and face a little swollen. What can i do or put on it? I put some antibiotic cream on it. Let me know if you have had a similar incident.What can i use for my puppy's swollen face? Please don't offer advice if you don't know. Thanks?
I would put a little cortizone cream on it. A thought is it could have been bitten or stung by something and the dog scratched it. A little benadryl would not hurt. Check with the vet for dosage.What can i use for my puppy's swollen face? Please don't offer advice if you don't know. Thanks?
I use a triple antibiotic on my dogs but that could be mange as well so keep a close eye on it. I had a MinPin pup with what looked like a scratch and it turned out to be mange. It might even be ringworm which is contagious to pets and people. If it was a bug bite Benedryl is useful too, you need to keep a pet first aid kit around, I keep one in the house and car.
you asked ';what can i do';, take him to a vet to be sure. Cat scratches have been known to cause infection. guess where their claws have been? litter box, what's in the litter box?
I would give it a 25 mg benedryl or take it to the vet

Always treat people how you would want to be treated (though 99% of pop ignores this!)If you could give one piece of advice to people in general, what would it be?
Give others what you wish to receive. Help people if you want to be helped. Love if you want to be loved. Be everyone's friend if they let you down. Be kind to everyone, be a bomb of happiness if you want to be happy.
Always be kind to others and always share what you have been blessed to receive.

What's the best way to give advice to someone you don't know about the she's guy she's dating?
I know this guy and he's not to be trusted.What's the best way to give advice to someone you don't know about the she's guy she's dating?
Taking it that this is not jealousy or revenge.....
As I see it you have a great responsibility regarding this issue.
My idea is that you try to make a friendship with this person and show facts for what you'll be telling.
You'll be so happy if you can help people to get away from leechy persons.
If your advice is not taken, just the same you'd have done your part...that's what I'm trying to do.
Good luck.What's the best way to give advice to someone you don't know about the she's guy she's dating?
Can you elaborate more? Is this an ex of yours who is now with another girl? Be careful, because women can get very territorial and might view your intentions as trying to sabotage her current relationship. Now if a guy/gal is not to be trusted in a way that could cause danger to this other person, by all means it is worth the risk to kindly pull them aside and express your concerns.
Just tell her what you know. She may or may not believe you. But if you care enough to worry about some chick you don't know, then just approach her and tell her whats up! Trust me she will appreciate it! Also you must explain your reason for telling her, otherwise she may think there are some ill feelings towards the other party, or jealousy and wont take you seriously.
Uh鈥?Uh鈥?I subscribed to a magazine called Famous Monsters of Film Land. The publisher was guy named Forrest J. Ackerman, who passed away recently.
if you don't know her how do you know what they actually want from this guy. stop being a player hater.
Normally, I'd say mind your own business but if you really know the guy and he's bad news - pass it on.
depends on how serious it is. she'll prob get pissed and tell you to screw off. girls are territorial.

Good luck.What's the best way to give advice to someone you don't know about the she's guy she's dating?
Can you elaborate more? Is this an ex of yours who is now with another girl? Be careful, because women can get very territorial and might view your intentions as trying to sabotage her current relationship. Now if a guy/gal is not to be trusted in a way that could cause danger to this other person, by all means it is worth the risk to kindly pull them aside and express your concerns.
Just tell her what you know. She may or may not believe you. But if you care enough to worry about some chick you don't know, then just approach her and tell her whats up! Trust me she will appreciate it! Also you must explain your reason for telling her, otherwise she may think there are some ill feelings towards the other party, or jealousy and wont take you seriously.
Uh鈥?Uh鈥?I subscribed to a magazine called Famous Monsters of Film Land. The publisher was guy named Forrest J. Ackerman, who passed away recently.
if you don't know her how do you know what they actually want from this guy. stop being a player hater.
Normally, I'd say mind your own business but if you really know the guy and he's bad news - pass it on.
depends on how serious it is. she'll prob get pissed and tell you to screw off. girls are territorial.
Why do people send their elderly parents to nursing homes? 10 points for the best advice. Thank you?
You parents took care of you. Why can't you take care of them?Why do people send their elderly parents to nursing homes? 10 points for the best advice. Thank you?
This really is a question with many different answers. In my line of work, I primarily work with elderly people, in their own homes, in a family member's home or in a care home or assisted living facility.
1. Safety. Some elderly people have significant health problems requiring more monitoring and care than someone withouth medical training can handle. It's often cost prohibitive for a 24/7 private duty nurse or caregiver to manage complicated medical equipment. In addition, some elderly people with advanced dementia require 24/7 supervision with locked doors, padded walls, etc. Most homes aren't built to be Alzheimer's units, let alone that an elderly person with this condition requires constant monitoring. No jobs, no respite, no vacations, not even a quick run to the store without someone being home to make sure that Grandma doesn't stick a fork in an electrical socket or fall and break a hip if she gets up without her walker.
One of the biggest reasons for elder abuse is due to overwhelmed and frazzled caregivers.
2. Quality of life: Okay, Grandpa can't live by himself anymore so he moves in. He has a nice room, a TV, etc. But you and your husband work all day, so he's home alone. Kids go to school, then after school sports and Grandpa is left alone all day with only the TV for company. Many assisted living facilties or group homes have lots of activities, social interaction and things do keep a person active and involved. This combats depression, even dementia, and overall increases the quality of life.
Care for the elderly has come a long way the last few years. There are many more options out there to keep senior citizens living independently and maintaining the quality of life. It used to be that if someone couldn't live alone, the only options were living with family or in a nursing home. That's not the case anymore, I'm glad to say!Why do people send their elderly parents to nursing homes? 10 points for the best advice. Thank you?
It depends on the situation.
My mom has been taking care of her mom for the past year. My mom is divorced (was in the middle of it when my Gram came to live with her) and she retired from her job early to do it. My Gram had to have her leg amputated below the knee due to diabetes. She's been in therapy to use a prosthesis but she is having a hard time. My mom's been killing her back lifting my Gram and told her that if she was ever to lose her other leg (she's been complaining about it) that she would have to go to a home because she can't lift her without any support. She wouldn't want to do it but she wouldn't have another choice.
Also, if the elderly acquire some disease (like Ahlheimerz---IDK the spelling); it takes alot of work to take care of them; especially if you have a family of your own and a full-time job.
It just depends on the situation.
In the case of my grandmother who was in a nursing home for 6 months a few years back. She went into a nursing home after being released from the hospital. It was decided that she would need professional care because of her health cdondition and monitoring required which her children could not accomplish because of lack of training. The number of medications and equipment she needed made it unrealistic for her to recive home care. She was in the nursing home 6 months as i said and then when she was able returned to her own home with my mother and aunts and uncles taking care of her. They had a schedule to get her to and from doctors apppointments, stores, church and any other place she needed to go as well as help her fix meals, clean, and do household things. I think this was probably the ideal way to care for an elderly relative. They didnt strip her of her independence or freedom and she lived a very happy life. She spent her last day in the hospital but aside from the 6 months in the nursing home she always knew freedom, love and happiness as an elderly person. Sadly she passed away last november and is greatly missed still.
I do understand the reason you have asked this question, as i have often found myself wondering exactly the same thing.
The truth of the matter is, most elderly people need proper care.
In extreme cases, some elderly people require care that involves the use of lifting equipment, which may mean that children wishing to take on this obligation would need to have modifications done to their homes.
There are also other aspects to consider such as medical requirements, hygiene, therapy etc that the children may not be able to provide to their elderly parents.
It has also been heard that many elderly people would prefer to go to a nursing home, as they do not wish to be a burden on their children's lives.
Nursing homes, the good ones - there are some awful ones out there - provide quality care, and also provide an environment where social interaction with other residents is available. An elderly person being cared for by children may not have this interaction as these days, almost every adult works to sustain a near normal lifestyle.
My mother-in-law is in a nursing home, as she requires full time care due to the effects of a near fatal stroke. It would be impossible for any of her children, or her husband to provide the level of care that she requires.
I understand why you ask this question, but in many cases, it is not feasible for children to be caring for elderly parents.
My mom always told me to raise my kids well and take good care of them, because someday they might be taking care of me. She is there to care for her mom should she need it (which is doubtful since my Mem is the healthiest person in the family) and I know that should my parents ever need it, I'll be there for them as well.
Sometimes, however, this simply isn't an option. With fanancial problems, time constraints, and limited space, some people simply are not able to care for another person, particularly and elderly person who might require a lot more care. It's sad,. but it is the way of the world. When this is the case, I would hope that the elderly parents in question would be given the option, rather than forced into it, and I would hope that their kids would take care to ensure that their parents are treated well, and not like prisoners, and that they are happy.
The really sad thing is when kids put their parents in nursing homes simply to get them out of the way. I can't imagine what it must be like to be tossed aside like that by someone you gave your whole life to. I just hope that these kids are prepared for their kids to do the same thing.
Many elderly people have medical conditions that need to be closely monitored around-the-clock, and they need to be placed in a home to receive this care. Taking on a responsibility like an ill parent is also extremely taxing on a family and marital relationship. One of the top reasons that couples separate or divorce is because of the stress of taking on an ill parent.
some elderly adults medical issues are too complex to be dealt with at home. the parent could be too heavy or disabled for the children to take care of. My grandmother had to be put in a nursinghome after her stroke. She was wheelchair bound and it was too much for my aunt and uncle to take care of. they visited her regularly, as did my cousins who lived in town (I lived 3 hours away).
I worked in a nursing home for 2 years. I have been gone for 4 years and still visit once a week. There are residents who don't even know my name, but have watched my 2 year old grow up. my kids just know them as ';grandparents';. I tell my 2 year old that we are going to see grandmas and grandpas. My older 2 know that the residents love kids, and don't always get to see thier grandkids, so they like to see and interact with other kids
cause taking care of childeren is far more easy than a grown adult. i took care of my grandma w/ alzheimers for 3 years and i started my sophmore year. that is the hardest thing in my life i ever had to do. i begged my mom to put her in a home, but mom didnt think that was the right thing to do for her. i was the main caretaker of her and eventually quit my job to take care of her until her death. i cleaned poop off of her and the floors and her bed sheets at least 3 times a week, i fed her and bathed her. do you know how heavy dead weight is if someone is not willing to do something like take a bath and you have to basically carry them because you are the only one in the house? that is the last time i will ever do anything like that again. i told my mom that if she ever got sick when she got older i will take care of her as long as i could but eventually she will have a nurse or go into a home. it sounds cruel, but if you have never been through it then you wouldnt understand. and mine is more severe case than others but not as bad as it could have been. i almost had a nervous breakdown in o5 because (when she got dramaically worse) she would yell in scream all night and only sleep for about 2 hours so that meant ';I'; was only gettin 2 hours sleep. and all that stress of feeling guilty(wanting them to just die or go to somewhere else), emotional stress of wanting them to get better and not knowing what to do for them all the time, and the physical stress. hun lots of this sounds cruel but its human nature. i hope you have an open mind about this and can understand, nothing is as easy said than done.
i really think its wrong too, but i guess its because of the time and effort you put into it. like if your busy with a job and stuff, and you can't have the time to take care of your parents or something. or if u think that it won't be the kind of enviroment that an elderly parent of theirs would live in. or if u were on a budget, short on money. i think that people should only do it if they have a good reason. now, if someone does decide to make the choice of doing that, i think that they should once in a while check in on the elder to show that they care, which hopefully they do. what i'm saying is that there is probably a good reason for it. do whatever you think is best. just always remember to put them first when making the decision.
It would depend how bad my parents were and the living situation my mom works at the nursing home its not really that bad if people actually visit you and they don't just stick you there if I could afford it I would get them a nurse for their house and my parents don't really take care of us we were beat bad when we were little for even being a little bad and once I got a job at 12 I paid for a lot after that they hate my husband and my sister's husband and still want us to leave them I have 3 kids and happily married but most people do it so they don't have to see their parens dying all the time and so they can have lifes and not feel bad about it in this generation most people just care about themselves and that is it I would do anything for my husband, my kids or his parents but I can't guarntee on my sister, her family or my parents my parents are a probally but I don't really feel a connection to my sister she was always the favorite and no one cared
sometimes us as children have to make tuff choices when we become the parents in this day and time choices have to be made because of different jobs and the care that we caint provide 24hours a day it is probally a very tough choice but being in this day and time to be able to provide for your own family and take care of your parent you must work so you really have no choice but to make sure they are in the best of care just as they did for you when they had to send you to daycare they love you and look out for whats best
My MIL suffered several strokes, and while my FIL works (out of town), I took on the responsibility of caring for her. Prior to doing so, I never could have imagined putting a loved one in a facility, but now I can understand it completely.
Some people have the patience it takes to do such work, others do not-myself included. I chose to have my children, I did not choose for my MIL to have a stroke. While I am sad that it happened and wish her the best, her stubbornness in getting immediate medical attention (more than once) and her refusal to cooperate with therapists has left her unable to do much, though at one time she could have had she tried. She is bitter, barks orders, and takes advantage of her situation.
My FIL leaves early in the morning when he has to go out of town, so my schedule was something like getting up at 4:30 to get my husband off to work and two children (the last time I cared for her I was pregnant with my third-and I quit because of a fear of harming the baby) up and dressed and over to their house by 6. Sometimes, the children would fall back to sleep but often the stir was enough to keep them up for the day. If he was gone overnight, I had to pack clothes, food (they do not eat what we eat), toys, school supplies since we homeschool...you get the drift. It was physically and emotionally exerting on myself and my family. My husband had to come home and tend to our farm and then would spend the night with me.
This was all exaggerated by the fact that other family members were not doing their share, that my FIL took advantage of me by starting to think I should be available at moments notice, and a variety of other factors.
Had there been a little more cooperation, I could probably have handled it. But I knew what I was getting into when I had children to care for-they are my complete responsibility. My MIL is not.
Unless you have been there, you can not imagine how difficult it is. I certainly never did until I walked in those shoes...I can only imagine the stress it puts on someone doing it full time. Like I said, some people have the patience for it...I am not one of those people.
If only it were that simple. I will do everything in my power to keep my family at home with me, but sometimes folks are in such a way that it's not possible. What about Alzheimer's patients, who wander off and who have been known to do bizarre things like try to wash their dishes in the washer, or forget what a washer is for. My own mother-in-law was blithely cooking dinner in her kitchen one day when I pulled up. The kitchen curtains were on fire and she didn't recognize that fact. Also, many people need around-the-clock care such as being turned from side to side so they won't get bed sores. How is a person with a job and kids supposed to be able to do that every few hours, around the clock? It is tragic how older folks are treated in our society, but sometimes they are better off in a place where there is 24 hour staffing.
Let me first say that I won't say it's right or wrong. I can tell you that a lot of stuff has been in the news lately talking about my age group being in a ';sandwich'; generation. We have children to raise and for alot of us now have to worry about caring for our parents as well. I don't know if you've ever been in a situation (I haven't yet) but I have seen the effects of taking care of your parents at home. There can be a lot of stress in that you have to remain at home instead of working and/or you have to hire someone to watch your family member during the day. With kids, as they age they get to a point where they no longer require childcare, this will never happen with a parent at home.
There can be a great deal of stress if you have to tend to their physical needs. It's upsetting to them (if they realize it) and to the child when they have to clean them up when they are incontinent. Imagine putting a depends on your father, as an example. Having a parent in a nursing home kind of erases having those types of responsibilities.
The stress can affect the whole dynamic in the household. People can become resentful if they have no outlet from their responsibilities. That's why there is respite care in some areas to help give caregivers a break.
Imagine a parent at home w/ dementia. They no longer recognize you and at times are angry with you and try to strike you (I have seen this in my own family, although not directly). You have to worry about them injuring themselves, even during the middle of the night.
Truth be told it's a scary situation and I pray I never have to deal with making these types of decisions. I have empathy for those people who have to deal with this on a daily basis.
Because my mother told me to! If you dont believe me I'll give you her phone number and ask her!! My mother for the last 12 years has taken care of her mother who lives about 2 hours away..In the last 6 years my grandmothers health has gotten worse. My mother told me that if she EVER got in the condition that her mother was in to stick her in the nursing home. She told me that she didn't want me or my sister to go through the mental or emotional hardship she has had to do..Now granted she would take care of her mother all over again in a heartbeat and still does with all the love and support..but my mother stated that she did NOT want to put us throught that. She stated it would be selfish. And guess what-- I didn't have my children so one day they can take care of me. That would be EXTREMELY selfish on my part, to expect my children to take care of me just because I am raising them now!!! They didn't ask to be born!!! I wanted them..so they are my responsiblity..but that does not AND WILL NEVER mean that I expect them to take care of me ';just because';. Only a selfish parent would a EXPECT anything from their kids!!!
I'm not agreeing with it but! sometimes things can be to difficult for one person to handle,when your still young yourself %26amp; have your own life it maybe hard to handle taking care of your parents %26amp; children at the same time,or even working or spending quality time with your spouse %26amp; it can also use up alot of your free time %26amp; make things very stressful,Ive watched my aunt deal with this %26amp; shes absolutley losing it...
Some people have to work full time jobs to pay house payments and send their kids to college. I'm not condoning it by any means but some people just can't watch their parents, and it is against the law to leave an elderly person by themselves for more than 8 hours at a time.
If you have a full time job, with kids and a busy life. It is probably not the best thing to look after a demanding (and perhaps demented) parent. It is not because you do not love them anymore... but because you physically cannot provide them with the care they truely deserve.
It is way too much work for someone with a full time job to take care of an elderly person
There are two answers, the more likely being that thier parents failed to instil the morals and values for their children to understand and have the compasion for their parents and realise that a nursing home may not be the best place for them. What often happens is one of two scenarios: A senior citizen tries to make his adult children aware that help is needed, but the children ';are in denial and don't want to think about it,'; or adult children procrastinate because they don't want their parents and others ';to assume they are waiting for that parent to die to get the inheritance.';
The other reason may be that the kids just aren't in a position to take care of their parents, so they have to put them in a home.
This really is a question with many different answers. In my line of work, I primarily work with elderly people, in their own homes, in a family member's home or in a care home or assisted living facility.

My own mother-in-law was blithely cooking dinner in her kitchen one day when I pulled up. The kitchen curtains were on fire and she didn't recognize that fact. Also, many people need around-the-clock care such as being turned from side to side so they won't get bed sores. How is a person with a job and kids supposed to be able to do that every few hours, around the clock? It is tragic how older folks are treated in our society, but sometimes they are better off in a place where there is 24 hour staffing.
Let me first say that I won't say it's right or wrong. I can tell you that a lot of stuff has been in the news lately talking about my age group being in a ';sandwich'; generation. We have children to raise and for alot of us now have to worry about caring for our parents as well. I don't know if you've ever been in a situation (I haven't yet) but I have seen the effects of taking care of your parents at home. There can be a lot of stress in that you have to remain at home instead of working and/or you have to hire someone to watch your family member during the day. With kids, as they age they get to a point where they no longer require childcare, this will never happen with a parent at home.
There can be a great deal of stress if you have to tend to their physical needs. It's upsetting to them (if they realize it) and to the child when they have to clean them up when they are incontinent. Imagine putting a depends on your father, as an example. Having a parent in a nursing home kind of erases having those types of responsibilities.
The stress can affect the whole dynamic in the household. People can become resentful if they have no outlet from their responsibilities. That's why there is respite care in some areas to help give caregivers a break.
Imagine a parent at home w/ dementia. They no longer recognize you and at times are angry with you and try to strike you (I have seen this in my own family, although not directly). You have to worry about them injuring themselves, even during the middle of the night.
Truth be told it's a scary situation and I pray I never have to deal with making these types of decisions. I have empathy for those people who have to deal with this on a daily basis.
Because my mother told me to! If you dont believe me I'll give you her phone number and ask her!! My mother for the last 12 years has taken care of her mother who lives about 2 hours away..In the last 6 years my grandmothers health has gotten worse. My mother told me that if she EVER got in the condition that her mother was in to stick her in the nursing home. She told me that she didn't want me or my sister to go through the mental or emotional hardship she has had to do..Now granted she would take care of her mother all over again in a heartbeat and still does with all the love and support..but my mother stated that she did NOT want to put us throught that. She stated it would be selfish. And guess what-- I didn't have my children so one day they can take care of me. That would be EXTREMELY selfish on my part, to expect my children to take care of me just because I am raising them now!!! They didn't ask to be born!!! I wanted them..so they are my responsiblity..but that does not AND WILL NEVER mean that I expect them to take care of me ';just because';. Only a selfish parent would a EXPECT anything from their kids!!!
I'm not agreeing with it but! sometimes things can be to difficult for one person to handle,when your still young yourself %26amp; have your own life it maybe hard to handle taking care of your parents %26amp; children at the same time,or even working or spending quality time with your spouse %26amp; it can also use up alot of your free time %26amp; make things very stressful,Ive watched my aunt deal with this %26amp; shes absolutley losing it...
Some people have to work full time jobs to pay house payments and send their kids to college. I'm not condoning it by any means but some people just can't watch their parents, and it is against the law to leave an elderly person by themselves for more than 8 hours at a time.
If you have a full time job, with kids and a busy life. It is probably not the best thing to look after a demanding (and perhaps demented) parent. It is not because you do not love them anymore... but because you physically cannot provide them with the care they truely deserve.
It is way too much work for someone with a full time job to take care of an elderly person
There are two answers, the more likely being that thier parents failed to instil the morals and values for their children to understand and have the compasion for their parents and realise that a nursing home may not be the best place for them. What often happens is one of two scenarios: A senior citizen tries to make his adult children aware that help is needed, but the children ';are in denial and don't want to think about it,'; or adult children procrastinate because they don't want their parents and others ';to assume they are waiting for that parent to die to get the inheritance.';
The other reason may be that the kids just aren't in a position to take care of their parents, so they have to put them in a home.
Have you ever gave heart to heart advice to someone on Y/A?
Like deep relationship advice, words of encouragement, or your condolences for someones loss of a loved one?
Or do you enjoy more of a casual interaction with fellow yahoo users?Have you ever gave heart to heart advice to someone on Y/A?
yeah, i have before. but it seems like people don't appreciate it all that much sometimes...Have you ever gave heart to heart advice to someone on Y/A?
Isn't that a prime reason for Q %26amp; A on yahoo? And there have been many instances where questioners were asked whether they consulted their parents before posting the question. Then there are instances where advice was given and favorable responses resulted for the given advice.
I have done both. I enjoy helping out when %26amp; if I can on anykind of advice question or DYI questions, especially in areas that I know something about.
But the casual interaction is fun, too, I must admit.
I have given heart to heart advice, but also casual interaction. I love it all.

What is the single best piece of advice you would give to someone who is just starting out playing golf?
Have a few lessons ( seriously ) . Once you get a decent swing its practice practice practice.
Its not all about how far you hit a ball off the tee, the short game counts for more shots than driving, learn to chip, putt, bunker shots.
Most important thing............enjoy it!What is the single best piece of advice you would give to someone who is just starting out playing golf?
Have at least 10 lessons with a golf pro. Between lessons go to a driving range to practise what you are taught. Then go to a pay and play golf course and play on a real course. Be sure to observe the dress code as you might be denied entry and be sure to buy some proper golf shoes.
Finally do not expect to be able to play well in just a few weeks as it will take considerably longer. Once you get over the worst, you will understand what I mean when you start to play, you will get hooked and want to play all day every day.What is the single best piece of advice you would give to someone who is just starting out playing golf?
The best piece of advice I could give a beginner is to learn proper course etiquette. Which includes course management. People can deal with a bad golfer if he knows proper etiquette and does not slow down pace of play.
Go to your local coarse and get some lessons and suscribe to Golf Digest, they have alot of good articles about how to fix your game. Also, if you have a good short game low scores will follow.
Buy some golf clubs and a van load of balls,buy a punch bag to put in your bedroom for when you get home after spending the day on the course.
Having just taken up golf myself i would suggest going to a driving range and booking some lessons with someone who knows what they are doing.
good luck
just enjoy enjoy enjoy
Go to driving range hit a couple of golf balls and then sign up for a golf lesson. Then practice, practice, practice.
Before you even swing the club, make sure that you can consistantly get the right stance and grip.
Practice putting!
Same advice i would give to any newbie....Practise, practise and practise
Try swimming instead.
don't listen to anybody who plays off of an handicap above 6.
Have fun and enjoy the outdoors
relax/enjoy the game

Advice please on becoming a gigolo , as you can see from my picture I may only appeal to a certain client猫le?
also would I be expected to bring my own sheets?Advice please on becoming a gigolo , as you can see from my picture I may only appeal to a certain client猫le?
You may be expected to bring your own bed.
The tasteful female will not lightly accept the larger man for duties outside of security and cooking. Nor will she expect an attire normally seen on a 1930's chicago gangster.
The posture of your avatar denotes exuberance. This is not a good idea because it is generally perceived to be deeply unattractive. A good example is the man who tells a joke and then proceeds to explain the joke to an already jaded audience.
May i suggest you seek out a lady who might have recently won a sum of money on a public gaming vehicle such as a lottery?
I understand that people domiciled in caravans frequently enjoy success in such endeavours? They might also be indifferent to the faults of a beau who spills his dinner down his shirt and yet...doesn't stop talking. Indeed, i am assured such women may become enamoured.
Advice please on becoming a gigolo , as you can see from my picture I may only appeal to a certain client猫le?
I'll give you a good work out and a written critique of your skill.
Please send a cheque for 拢300 to reserve your place on the course
keep the prices low and make them provide the sheets...
yes the ones with beer goggles ha ha that made me laugh that question lol
get em drunk first and it is only polite to bring fresh sheets - and condoms

Getting my tounge pierced. Do you have advice on helping me take care of it?
Im getting my tongue pierced friday. Should i do anything before i go? and what can i do so it doesn't get infected? what did you do?Getting my tounge pierced. Do you have advice on helping me take care of it?
I'm a dentist, so I would not recommend it. There is a chance that your tongue can become infected which would cause it to swell which could cut of your airway. If that happens, its off to the emergency room ASAP. There is also a chance you can damage your teeth if you accidentally bite on the bar or balls. Finally, it can become dislodged and you can inhale a piece and if it gets into your lungs, you would require major surgery to get it out. So with all of those risks, why do you want to get one?

Do you always have experience with the advice you give?
This is about when you give advice to dog owners and suggest training methods, breed descriptions or anything else that may pop up.
Do you offer advice that you have picked up from others or have you done everything you suggest?Do you always have experience with the advice you give?
If it's training methods, it's something I've done.
If it's health information/advice, it's something I've dealt with.
If it's information on a breed, it's something I've dealt with, witnessed, learned from friends with the breed, or researched through a reliable source (i.e. Parent Club website or articles by people with an established interest in the breed).Do you always have experience with the advice you give?
My advice is either from my own practical experience or after a lot of research - usually a combination of both.
I've been studying dogs (particularly training and behaviour) since I was old enough to read. I don't mean reading personal websites and books written by self proclaimed ';listeners / whisperers'; but the text books and articles written by the proffesionals. I'm the sort of nerd who reads scientific journals for fun.
I don't tend to form strong opinions quickly - I will usually research everything thoroughly, looking at both sides to draw a considered opinion from it all.
I don't tend to offer advice on diet, health etc because I am happy to admit I have very little knowledge in these fields.
Of course I do. It would be pointless and in some situations dangerous to give advice on something I have not experienced or researched. I do also offer advice picked up from others, because no matter how experienced you can be, there is always something you have not heard or learned. I have done everything I have suggested or I would not have suggested it.
I never give advice if I don't have personal experience with it.
For example: I have enough basic knowledge regarding common car problems that I could shout out a general idea if someone asked but would I? Never. Because everything I know it's just what I've heard by word of mouth because most of my friends are motor heads %26amp; not from my personal experiences or expertise.
To me it's the same with dog ownership %26amp; training. If you don't personally know from experience don't say it because you're just repeating google facts at that point.
Unless it's been personally tried %26amp; true by me I won't advise it to others.
With the training advice I give, I will either of had the experience from myself, training my own dogs, or picked up knowledge from the dog training classes that I help out at. However, (this may sound sad) I will often think up ways in my head of how to train things eg- recall or dog aggression, then try out the techniques myself.
Other advise, it's a mixture. But things I do give out, are either from internet, books, professional trainers or experience, I never make things up! In fact a lot of my knowledge has come from this!
Honestly I have done everything that I suggest, they are the training methods that I currently use or have used on my own personal dogs.
As far as breed descriptions go, the only ones I answer without looking it up are based on my own experience with dogs.
If I dont know the answer i look it up on dogbreedinfocenter.com
or I dont answer it at all.
I would never give advice or give any information unless I was 110% sure that I am correct from my own experience.
I never look up an answer on the internet. Most information is correct but I have ran into some information that isn't.
I'm a dog obedience trainer, groomer, breeder, I have worked own my farm for 39 years and have ran into almost any thing one can think of having an average of 40 animals.
Having to do much of your own vet. work is a requirement when owning a farm. I do have to call the vet out when there is something that I can not or do not know how to handle. I always learn something and have lots of questions to ask.
I have organized many free clinics at the fair grounds that is free to the public to help educate pet and farm animals. I have assisted my vet in c-sections and what ever else he has needed me for.
I feel blessed to have such a wonderful vet that I can email then he will do research from the top data of the day and email me back. I trust him more than my own doctor.
I took classes and became a judge many years ago. My list is long so I will stop here. I have experienced and have learned a lot in 39 years and it has been very rewarding. I really enjoy helping others in any way that I can and expect nothing back in return. I have truly had a wonderful life living with and caring for animals and people. My children grew up in a very good environment and it was always so much fun when the school bus arrived at my farm for a field trip. I still have farm field trips with our local agricultural dept, at the high school. lol I always keep learning something when the kids come out with their questions. Kids are just great!
Peace
Honestly most of the questions here require common sense...
I've tried everything that I suggest for others, especially when it comes to training, food, etc...
I have always done what i suggest either with my dog, or with my parents dogs. I do not pass on hearsay, or if I do, I claim that so and so said this.
well if i don't know something that somebody asked, i don't answer it or i research the question. i don't pull false information out of my butt.
When I give an answer I am mostly relying on my training and hands on experience.
Yes i have had experience with everything i suggest .... but most of the time its common sense needed :-)
As far as dogs....yes, I've done it all...some of it, toooooooo much.

Advice on how to make decisions when you just can't choose between two options, how to stop deliberating?
My partner and I are trying to choose between 2 rental properties (first time moving in together) - we're both really indecisive so we just keep deliberating pluses and minuses getting nowhere..need to move the process on, please help!
How do you get braver about making decisions?
don't really want to toss a coin, although did try it just to see if felt disappointed with result and still didn't know!Advice on how to make decisions when you just can't choose between two options, how to stop deliberating?
Just drive up to the place as if you are coming home from work. Imagine that is the neighborhood you live in, that is your home. Do you feel like you are coming home to a refuge? Are you comfortable with the neighbors?
Is it a peaceful neighborhood or full of punks blasting their bass? Are there a bunch of barking dogs around? What about traffic and traffic noise? You need some kind of sanctuary. If the houses themselves are equal to you, pick the neighborhood that is the quietest.
If it's still pretty equal, pick the bigger of the two. You will never regret having more space.
But there is also the possibility that you are not comfortable with either one, so that is a sign to keep looking.Advice on how to make decisions when you just can't choose between two options, how to stop deliberating?
If you're both indecisive then step up and be the decisive one - just make the decision - be confident and feel good about it!!! Make the decision!
just pick the one thats most convenient for both of you and get a 6 months extendable lease, so if you dont like it, just rent someplace else.
Chose one that make you make you feel good inside the one that feels more like home
Write a list for both addresses - good points and bad points!

Strip Clubs - Gentleman's Clubs - How do you start, how much capital needed - any advice?
Your major costs are going to be Venue (rent), retrofitting the building, security, Stock (alcohol, glasses ect) and Publicity.
The costs will range on the size of the planned venue and the intensity of your marketing plan. But to give a ball park figure for a low budget establishment probably around $20,000 in startup costs if you get special deals with alcohol distributors.
As far as the Girls go they are usually put on commision. The better they are the higher their % alternativly some girls pay the house a flat fee to work there for security and marketing then what ever they make on top of it is theirs.

What piece of advice have you been given that has changed your life? And who gave you that advice?
I'd like to know what has influenced other people to become who they are.What piece of advice have you been given that has changed your life? And who gave you that advice?
I grew up in a horrible place and had the worst childhood. I was 17, a single mother and had just gotten my GED. I was talking to a casual friend, a older guy (probably 45 at the time) one night at a meeting and he asked me what I was going to do now that I had my GED. I hadn't thought about it. lol. I was just living day to day. And he said I should go to college. No one had ever said that to me before. I had honestly never considered it as a possibility. I asked him ';What would I take in college? How would I pay for it?'; And he said that I would figure both out if I made the committment. He was right. The next day I went to the college and started filling out paperwork. I got a BA in history - I have $30,000 in student loans. lol. But I make three times that a year. It was one of the greatest achievements in my life. I am the only person in my family to ever go to college.
You never know when you will be the spark in someone elses life.What piece of advice have you been given that has changed your life? And who gave you that advice?
good question, i think that the advice would have to be person spicific. i have tried to share with others my life changing events and they don't seem affected. maybe its my sales skills. whoknows.
but for me it was when someone addressed a problem i was having and made light of it saying maybe it was just something that i needed to learn from and continue on. i have a problem getting stuck on things and this cleared up my thinking and was refreshing. i didn't immediatly change my life but it was a turning point. that set me up for things to come.
Just do it %26lt;%26lt; my mom.
It gets easier %26lt;%26lt; my dad.
Those pieces of advice totally changed how I perceived things. It was like overnight I changed into a whole different person 'cos everything seemed to make sense. When you just take responsibility and do things life is so much easier. I think that's what my parents are talking about ^_^ I know my sister had trouble waking up in her teenage years for school and my dad would always tell her ';it gets easier'; once you wake up. That's so true.
My grandmother told me 'if you haven't got your health you haven't got anything'.
She told me this in her later years as her health was fading, but I understood what she was trying to tell me.
Basically the message was look after yourself now while you are young and while you have control over life and try and keep it that way.
Education is a light load to carry. Given by maternal grandfather.
Do your best and that is enough. Said by my dad around finals in college.
My high school guidance counselor, Ms. Holmes, told me ';you have to realize that everyone isn't as smart as you are.'; When she said that, I didn't know if it was a compliment or a slight. Not to be arrogant, but all my life people have told me I'm highly intelligent, and when I was a teenager I thought that was one of the main reasons for people misunderstanding or resenting me. Popularity was never my strong suit, and I used to think that I had to choose between being true to myself and being accepted. But now I realize that I don't need to change who I am to fit in, but just have a flexible persona. That really makes life a lot easier. And if I come across a young person who reminds me of myself at their age I will tell them what Ms. Holmes told me, and I will also tell them this: Simple thinkers understand simple ideas. Complex thinkers understand complex ideas. But to take complex ideas and make them simple is the mark of genius.
borrow money only to invest in something that promises to return more than the cost of the interest. Never borrow to spend on consumer goods that depreciate. pay cash for all such things even if you must drive a beat up old car.
I have lived cheap, made a lot of easy money and drove some pretty far out older cars that are fun and cool to own and never had a car payment.
Buy real estate on leverage with other peoples money and ret them out for the payment then sell when they appreciate.

Can you give me some useful advice for a math exam I will be taking tomorrow?
Please! I need some good stimulating advice.I've been practicing for so long. I'm very nervous and I want to to get rid of all this adrenaline I have inside me and the exam is in 12 1/2 hours from now. The most thoughtful response will receive the points. Thank you ! :)Can you give me some useful advice for a math exam I will be taking tomorrow?
Try to maintain a positive attitude while preparing for the test and during the test.
Get a good night's sleep before the test.
Show up to class early so you won't have to worry about being late.
Stay relaxed, if you begin to get nervous take a few deep breaths slowly to relax yourself and then get back to work.
Read the directions slowly and carefully.
If you don't understand the directions on the test, ask the teacher to explain it to you.
Skim through the test so that you have a good idea how to pace yourself.
Write down important formulas, facts, definitions and/or keywords in the margin first so you won't worry about forgetting them.
Do the simple questions first to help build up your confidence for the harder questions.
Don't worry about how fast other people finish their test; just concentrate on your own test.
If you don't know a question skip it for the time being (come back to it later if you have time), and remember that you don't have to always get every question right to do well on the test.
Focus on the question at hand; don't let your mind wander on other things.

Are there any other beginning writers out there, if so do you have any advice?
I'm trying to write a trilogy of books in the fantasy/sci-fi genres and I would just like to hear any advice or anything you would like to share about writing.Are there any other beginning writers out there, if so do you have any advice?
I write the news you hear on the radio, but I'm also in the process of writing my autobiography. The main thing, based on the genre you mentioned with your question, is to make the story enjoyable to the reader. If it will let them escape reality for awhile, then it's a good story. Best of luck to you!Are there any other beginning writers out there, if so do you have any advice?
i write scripts for movies and all you need is your feelings, experience and a kick tukas idea ! thats all i got and my teacher thinks i am the most pehenominal writer out of everyone in our class !
Link below is to resources for science fiction writers. If you can find and join a local chapter of that group, you will learn about the people who edit, publish and support this genre.
I'm working on my first fiction book as well. My only advice would be to take each book individually. Once you write it, you will need to spend your time selling it before you start on the second book.
read the book on writing by stephen king, EXTREMELY helpful! i actually got that advice from another author. also take a writing workshop, also very helpful. let someone (professional) read your work, be prepared for any criticizing, but it'll help you in the long run. i promise. it's nice to see it from a different point of view.
I am a struggling writer
Practice makes perfect,
Realize that a lot of publishing is luck there are some great writer out there and some ones that make me want to puke
Finally learn the business side of it , agents , contracts, and such

What can i use for my puppy's swollen face? Please don't offer advice if you don't know. Thanks?
I came home and my 7 month old puppy had a spot on his face. Like it was scratched by him or maybe our cats. It is very tiny. What ever it was it had his lips and face a little swollen. What can i do or put on it? I put some antibiotic cream on it. Let me know if you have had a similar incident.What can i use for my puppy's swollen face? Please don't offer advice if you don't know. Thanks?
I would put a little cortizone cream on it. A thought is it could have been bitten or stung by something and the dog scratched it. A little benadryl would not hurt. Check with the vet for dosage.What can i use for my puppy's swollen face? Please don't offer advice if you don't know. Thanks?
I use a triple antibiotic on my dogs but that could be mange as well so keep a close eye on it. I had a MinPin pup with what looked like a scratch and it turned out to be mange. It might even be ringworm which is contagious to pets and people. If it was a bug bite Benedryl is useful too, you need to keep a pet first aid kit around, I keep one in the house and car.
you asked ';what can i do';, take him to a vet to be sure. Cat scratches have been known to cause infection. guess where their claws have been? litter box, what's in the litter box?
I would give it a 25 mg benedryl or take it to the vet

Democrats or liberal do you have advice for Right on how to get a loud mouth offensive entertainer off the air?
They are only good at defending them. I am sure they will appreciate any advice you give them.
( I want to apologize for using the inclusive term the Right I do not mean it to apply to all)Democrats or liberal do you have advice for Right on how to get a loud mouth offensive entertainer off the air?
Stop calling for him to be removed from the air. The 1st amendment protects offensive speech (why would we need to protect speech which people wouldn't want to stop.) Apparently, both liberals (cough...fairness doctrine) and conservatives need to learn that.Democrats or liberal do you have advice for Right on how to get a loud mouth offensive entertainer off the air?
In this country, we all have the right to say what we wish.
But, you do not have the right to be listened to. If you do not like it, turn it off.
Ah, gee, have you been listening to somebody who disagrees with you again? You know you shouldn't do that, it's bad for your little ego.
Yes, IT'S A JOKE! Don't take it seriously. I just got hate mail today and i laugh it off. Do i care? No.
It's protected in the 1st amendment.
Conservatives seem to have cornered the market lately on getting rid of people that they disagree with. Maybe you should ask them.
I'm very sorry but the answer is no... otherwise Rush, Bill and Hannity would be yesterdays news. If you have any ideas... please expound!
if you mean Rush Limbaugh...nope - no idea how to get him off the air.
just turn him off...
Oh please! All the movie stars and entertainers are libs!
Why is it always the left that is trying to silence others?
It is free speech, just like when Ann Coulter says wicked things.

I get a choking feeling when i swallow food:plz can you help with advice?
I get a choking feeling as i swallow my food, it feels like it sits there before travelling down to my stomach..sometimes it's painfull. Other times i have no problems.What is this and is it stress related.? thanks for your advice.I will be seeing my doctor soon.I get a choking feeling when i swallow food:plz can you help with advice?
I wonder if you might have a hyperactive gag reflex. Does it only happen in the morning? If so that might be it. Some people have a hyperactive reflex first thing in the morning and need to swish warm water around in their mouth before they eat. It could be stress related....are you stressed? Try slowing down as you eat and take tiny bites and work up to regular size bites.

Some users simply don't like your answer, others hope by giving you a thumb down they might have a better chance to recieve a BA, and then there are those trolls who give thumbs down randomly - just because they think it's funny to aggrevate other users.Why do people give a negative when you are the expert and giving good advice?
Anytime - greetings from Germany...
hewww....the same thing happens to me too....
I don't want to tear down your cathedral, but maybe even experts can get it wrong sometimes? Or is that blasphemy?
Maybe you should just lighten up a little (in this particular case, for I don't know how light-hearted you slide through the rest of your life...)? ;))
Social interactions are funny (odd) things. The situation makes a big difference. Usually in my experience from both sides of that situation is that either the expert is not recognized as such by the listener, or the information is presented poorly. People tend to dislike being preached at, no matter what the subject.
And sometimes people disagree in a way that indicates they want to learn more, where they are presenting the arguments that they see as important in making it dfficult for them to accept the ideas presented by the expert. Do not imagine that just because you are an expert that you cannot learn from your discussion with non-experts. And don't imagine that just because they are not expert, that they cannot understand why you support your views (the reason you think what you do).
As for the absence of recognition of expertise, the history of the relationship is usually important. Older siblings or peers that you have known since forever tend to think of you in the way that you once were and may think of you in a subordinate social position that precludes your being an expert in areas that they are not. Strangers may be unaware of your extensive knowledge in the subject unless you are introduced to them as an expert.
And finally, even experts can be wrong. Happens all the time.
It's not really negative--A good answer will give the pros and cons of an issue and let the asker do some thing as to which way to go. nothing is really black or white but the gray areas in the middle is vthe part that must be concidered as the best course in that situation. Be thankful you get both views of a solution.everyone needs the opportunity to have thoughts on the final outcome.--You get pros and cons and allowed to participate in the answer--who can you blame if it's not the best answer. no-one--but you feel good you covered the bases for ethical proplem solving
They're just mean and don't like spreading the love :(

They're just mean and don't like spreading the love :(
What is the best piece of advice your parents ever gave you?
Treat everyone like you would like to be treated.What is the best piece of advice your parents ever gave you?
There are always three ways to handle a problem
1. Go around it
2. Go through it
3. Go over it
Ever since then I have had to think about the solutions and which way to deal with it. It even helped me decide to divorce, I didn't want to go through it and I wouldn't consider an affair, either. I got over it.What is the best piece of advice your parents ever gave you?
1) Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
2) be the best at whatever you decide to be
3) If you don't have anything nice to say to a person, don't say anything at all.
4) your word is your bond, without your word you have nothing.
It was the best and the worst.
';BE NICE';
Consequently, everybody has
always thought I was nice, but
when it was time to stand up for
myself or 'call' somebody for doing
something wrong to me, I thought
if I did that I wouldn't 'be nice.'
Bad news.
It wasn't so much what they said, but what they were. They've both been gone about 13 years now. We have a special picture we carry to every family function - because we want them to be there too. They were the hub of our family %26amp; none of us have ever been able to fill the void they left.
When I was about ten my dad called me over, smoothed a one dollar bill on the table and pointed to it and sarcastically told me, ';this is God.'; I loved my dad and tried to always listen to what he said. Boy was he right about that one!!
Always keep two purses ';purses in the uk are only to keep your money in.'; One your husband
knows about and one he doesn't know you have, and you will never be skint, as you will always have rainy day money.
Don't know that this would be considered advice, but the mother always told me:
'; I brought you into this world, I can sure as h*ll take you out !';
Kept ME on the straight and narrow....
When you're even in a situation where you feel someone thinks they're better than you. Imagine them on the toilet wiping their ****.
-My dad said that to me.
To get an education %26amp; not depend on a man to take care of me. As it turned out, I ended up taking care of both husbands, for totally different reasons.
Basically, it was a presentation about how difficult it was going to be when I left home ... this paved the way for a smooth transition that was actually quite easy.
bad advice really...but they feed me, sent me to school, dentist, doctor %26amp; church..for as old as i am..you'd think something would come to mind, hmm
If you don't have anything to say, don't say anything.
Wear clean underwear without holes.
GRADUATE! And I did. And it helped.
Do not go to a mixed social function without your husband.
From mother:
';If you lay down with dogs, you'll get up with fleas';
From Father:
';Don't eat yellow snow';
From my very wise Father...Keep your eyes open and your mouth shut
Be true to yourself.
You are the only one accountable for your own actions.
Don't believe anything you hear and only half of what you see!!
Don't sweat the petty stuff, or was that pet the sweaty stuff. I get them mixed up.
You only get what you work for.
Go out in the yard and turn that snake loose, boy!
Don't pee on an electric fence.
Pay yourself first.
I am with Greta.
You need to make it on your own I can't support you for ever, Now find a job
Get that money
dont sweat the small stuffbecca

Have you fasted? Do you have advice on how to do it the right way?
I am starting a 3 day fast, and ive never done this before, the longest ive ever done is one day. What did you eat the day before? Did you take vitamins? Is there anything else i should know?Have you fasted? Do you have advice on how to do it the right way?
make sure you eat plenty of foods especially fruits, veggies, and nuts. And make sure weather you eat or not that you drink water when you are fasting.Have you fasted? Do you have advice on how to do it the right way?
Why in heavens name would you fast? Well, stalk up on carbs and sugar, not to mention take things with vitamins. When you're fasting take vitamins so your body doesn't collapse.

Do you have any advice for a wedding reception at a venue that has not kitchen?
Hi,
We're considering a wedding venue that does not have a kitchen, so the caterer would either have to bring equipment or a catering truck, or cook nearby and keep the food warm I guess. I'd love to get an opinion on this from anyone who's ever catered an event without a kitchen. Is it do-able? And does it make it super expensive?
Thank you!!Do you have any advice for a wedding reception at a venue that has not kitchen?
It's totally normal for caterers to prep at their own facilities and just set the food up in chafing dishes at the venue. Just make sure you get proposals from a few caterers that include all equipment rental costs.Do you have any advice for a wedding reception at a venue that has not kitchen?
Have caterers use Sterno cans or plug in equipment and use generators.
You could also have an outdoor BBQ with chefs cooking on LARGE grills or outdoor fire pits depending where you will be having the reception.
cajun propane cookers, electric roaster ovens, propane stoves, garden hoses and large tubs for washing up.
