Sure, maybe she can play on a local church league or at a boys and girls club, or practice in the gym after school -- maybe even get someone who's on the team this year to work with her as she practices. If it's a sport she really likes, and she practices a lot, she'll improve enough to make the team next year.

When my dad died, I went back to work the day two days after his funeral, as I stayed with my grandmother and wrote "Thank You" notes they day after. I missed my dad, but I had to get right back into my job. When my grandmother, who raised me, died, I took the day after her funeral off because I was so emotionally drained, then went back to work. I was very tired and depressed...

Answer to:
I've repeatedly heard "It's more expensive to repair something that to just trash the broken item and buy a new one." Why is that? Shouldn't it be less expensive to repair something?
Because we live in a throw-away society. There are no repairmen to fix things like they used to. In years past, if your TV, for example, went out, you had it repaired, because a TV was a major purchase. Now, most people just buy a new one because of the inconvenience of finding someone to repair theirs, driving it to a shop, and being without it for the time the repair takes.

It doesn't matter if you put it upstairs or downstairs, just so the kitten knows where it is and has easy access to it. My concern with putting it downstairs would be that if a door leading to the basement got shut it would keep the kitten from getting to it's box. Good luck with your kitten and have fun!!!

I work two jobs and have two bosses. One of my bosses just quit, which was hard because we'd worked together for 12 years, and he was one of my closest friends. His replacement is like a little brother to me, so, yes, I like him very well. My other boss is my God-father, and I am the God-Mother to his children, too. So, I can defintely say I like him, too.

Explain to her that having your girls be a part of her family is like her getting her very own big sisters. She can help welcome her big sisters and make them feel at home by helping get the room ready for them before their next visit. It could still be her playroom to use when your daughters aren't visiting, but she could feel a part of things and not like her room is being taken away...

Yes, maybe you were the way that the person who found it was able to get a hot meal that day, or maybe their car was out of gas and because of the money you dropped, they were able to get to an appointment. You may never know, but just remember, who ever found it may have needed it more than you did.

By 11 or 12, most kids are able to be left alone for long periods of time.

Do you think the economy might force AB to shut down? And, if it does, would that be a good thing or a bad thing for you?
I certainly don't think the economy will force AB to shut down any time in the near future. Whether it would be good or bad depends. . . Bad in that it is a good stress-reliever for me (no responsibility -- I can answer whom I want, when I want). Good because it would give me more time to be productive. . .

Emancipation is not always the best answer.

Yes, anger is one part of the grief process. The thing to understand about grieving is there is no right or wrong way to do so -- everyone grieves in a different way. Some may tend to be indifferent, others may get angry, some may simply be distraught or depressed, others run the range of emotions, going back and forth between them.

It depends on several factors -- the company, the kind of car you're driving, the amount of coverage you want, the age of the driver, your driving record, the age of the car and safety features, how far you drive each day, etc. To give you a ball-park figure, though, anywhere from $25 up to $80, probably.

As long as you resist the temptation to send texts unnecessarily, there is no way that your use of the system could ever become an addiction.

In extreme conditions, hot or cold, I put him inside, even though he's not house-broken.

Would it annoy you if you dumped a friend for being selfish and told them you want nothing to do with them. but, they send you apologies? they send you one a few months down the road. and they send you one more again after many months. would you be pissed
No, maybe the friend had something going on in their life at the time that contributed to their selfish attitude. At this point, they are apologizing and want to make it up to you. Accept their apology and renew the friendship. Everyone deserves a second chance. If it works out, great, you have another friend. If it doesn't, then agree to disagree and go your seperate ways.

If they graduate high school and do not go on to post-secondary school, they should get a job and become self-supporting. If they choose to go to college, you...

Christmas Eve day and afternoon are spent shopping (my personal gifts for family and friends), dropping off gifts at the local nursing homes (and taking my dog or cat, dressed up in a Christmas costume, if they cooperate). Christmas Eve evening, I go to church with my God-daughter and her family, then deliver gifts to the families we adopted for Christmas. Then I got home and wrap the gifts I...
Answer to:
What did you get for Christmas?
Gift cards to Petco, Books A Million, Dress Barn, Wal-Mart, Target, Home Depot, and Red Lobster. Plus, Cash, a scarf/gloves set, an umbrella, a cat bank, a stuffed cat that looks like my old cat that died last year, and a Shiatsu Massaging Chair Cushion.
Answer to:
How much do you think Christmas cost you in presents this year?
Well, I spent more than I was intending -- around $1,000 to be exact. But, it was worth it. I don't set a limit or whatever, but I ask people what they would like and try to purchase accordingly.
Answer to:

Answer to:
Did your loved ones like the gifts you got them this Christmas? What were their reactions?
They seemed to. I wasn't extravagant with my shopping, I simply got people the things they had on their list. I think my biggest hit was a book entitled, "We're Going to Europe" for a 17-year old who plans to go to Germany after High School graduation. She was very excited about that!

Mom deeded the house over to dad as she is in a nursing home. Does she still have ownership in the home? Can medicaid file a lien against the house and sell it out from under dad?
I'm not sure where you're located. I know in some states Medicaid can come back and take something of value a person gives away in the 3 years prior to them receiving the Medicaid benefits. The reason being, normally a person's financial assets are exhausted before Medicaid starts paying for their nursing home expenses -- any checking or savings they have, the income from the...

Your best bet, of course, it to try to find a home for them yourself, instead of taking them to a shelter. I've seen so many animals become depressed and despondent having to stay in cages...

But, it doesn't bother me that people say Happy Holidays. Many people (Christians and non-Christians alike) say it because it includes Christmas, New Years, and even Thanksgiving, depending on when you start saying it.

Because it's one feature that they can "dress up" and be proud of, regardless of their weight or size. Also, because if you're plus size, you're going to have heavy hands,which will make your fingers appear shorter. Artificial nails will add length to the appearance, making your fingers look longer and therefore your hands thinner.

My best advice is find a local recording studio. Hire a band and have them play and you concentrate on singing. Send the disk to your local stations and you might get some regional airplay. Most likely, though, most of your other stations won't play it because they have playlists that they stick to, based on Top-40 hits, Billboard hits, etc, in their genre. You really need a record...

More frustrating was the fact that my number was the old number for the local musicians' union.

I have black cats crossing my path all the time -- of course 8 of them are my own (four solid black, and four black and white). I think, in your case, it's just something you're aware of, so you notice it more. I also think poor black cats get a bad wrap. Mine are all little sweethearts -- nothing evil or mean about them.

If you don't live with your mom, share it with her if she needs it, but if not, do with it what you like -- donate it to a food pantry or give it to a friend or whatever.

How do telemarketers get your cell phone number if you don't give it to them?
When I managed a bank of telemarketers, we printed sheets that started with 0000 in the upper left corner and ended with 9999 in the lower right corner. We assigned each telemarketer a "prefix" (for example 527 or 334) within the area code we were working, and they were to call each number. Some are businesses, some are non-working numbers, some are cell phones, etc. If you get a...

She put it on the floor, and they start hissing and spitting, then one of them shuts off the lights using the breaker box,...

My dog, DC (aka "Bonehead") stays on my screened in porch. He's got a dog house out there, and his cat, Lloyd, stays out there with him. He loves to come in the house, especially in the winter, but he's not housebroken, so I can't let him run loose in the house for very long. If it's really cold, I keep him in the bathroom.

Definitely stick with finger foods and do it yourself if you want to save yourself money -- I would make finger sandwiches, a fruit tray, a vegetable tray with ranch dip, maybe some cubed cheese and crackers, and have chips with spinach/artichoke dip. I wouldn't offer any other dessert except birthday cake. Maybe make lemonade or a champagne punch (club soda, white grape juice, lemonade)...
Answer to:
What would you do if you found a wallet with $100,000 in it? The person's drivers license with his address is also in the wallet.
I'd give the person a call and tell them I'd found it. I'd either deliver it to them or have them meet me somewhere where I could get it to them. And, I'd hope they were generous enough to give me a reward. . .

A hat and coat cost $110 and the coat costs $100 more than the hat. How much does the coat cost?

I know what you mean -- I was always taught to give 110% to anything that I did, and I have always done that -- putting in twice the hours and effort than anyone else and receive no added perks or benefits. . . The people who just barely slide by receive the same appreciation and the same compensation as I do, and I always go above and beyond.

Treat everything -- bomb or spray your house for fleas, treat your dog (flea shampoo or flea dip first, then Frontline or Advantage), treat your yard, too, with spray or granules. This should allow your dog to be both indoor and outdoor without fleas being a problem. Make sure, if you have other pets, they are treated for fleas, too.

The fridge is empty except for a few things I need to throw out. But, the bigger question for me would be, do I have enough cat food to get through the week. Because, if I get hungry, I can just go to bed...
Answer to:
How long have you been on Answerbag and how did you find out about it??? Because i can't remember how i came across it.
It was shortly after I had lost my cat of 17 years, and I googled something about grief after losing a pet, and Answerbag came up. I read several questions and answers, then found one I wanted to answer, but it said I had to register to answer, so I did.

Every time I try to lose some weight my husband arrives home with chocolate and/or biscuits. I'm not fat but just a couple of kilos overweight. He tells me I am beautiful just as I am. Why does he do this?
Because he loves you and what you perceive as extra weight he doesn't even notice because he loves YOU! Just relax & enjoy it.

Answer to:
A lady stopped me this morning while I was on my way home, and admired my hair length, but when I corrected her idea that I was growing my hair out for Locks of Love, she suddenly decided I was selfish... Am I really selfish? I mean its my hair, yes?
No, it is your hair to do with what you choose, and it's not selfish at all. I probably would not have correcte her, but instead said, "That's a great idea -- I will have to give that some thought." It's not like you'll have to see her againt to follow up on what your decision was. . .

I work in an all-you-can-eat restaurant. People always come in and say, "I'll have the buffet" -- but they pronounce it "buff-it", like Jimmy Buffet, and they think it's so cute. Or, they'll say, "One Buff-it please -- one Jimmy Buffet." It gets so old. . . .

A man has your child held at gun point. For whatever reason, he says you have to kill yourself, or he'll kill your kid. Biblically, if you kill yourself, do you still go to Hell?

I certainly would -- and do. I always like to think that if I need something, someone will be there to help me. Maybe not the person I'm helping, but someone. And, helping someone should be just about that -- HELPING. It shouldn't be about what you'll get in return.

Unfortunately, yes, you do. It is very much a formed human being and still has to pass through the birth canal. It's an extremely difficult and emotional experience, whether the doctor takes it through surgery (d&c) or lets the process happen naturally. I know this from experience and feel for anyone who has to go through this.

When will my cat will give birth
When she's ready and no sooner. Watch her -- she'll start "nesting" (looking for a place to have her kittens). Also her milk will come in -- you'll notice that, too. Gestation period for cats is approximately 63 days, so if you know when she was bred, that should help. Good luck. Mine just had NINE kittens.

Sit down and make a list of all the Pro's and Cons to having your mother and brother move in. Make the extra money the first think on your Pros list. Other Pros could be having a built in baby-sitter (if you have kids), having help with the house-cleaning and yard work, less money spent on gas driving to see her, etc. If your mother and your wife get along, she'll probably go for...

Answer to:
Some think congrats questions are nothing but point grabbers. When someone asked if anyone would like to congratulate me I felt good about being noticed. Should they stay or go?
I have no problem with the Congratulations questions, as long as they are for the higher levels. I actually enjoy congratulating fellower AB'ers who reach higher ranks. I don't care for the ones who are asking for congratulations for themselves -- that seems a little self absorbed to me.

Being famous doesn't necessarily make anyone any better than any of of us. BTW, ask the guy you work with how Brandy, Brett's sister, is?
