I don't get it. I exercise regularly. I'm in good shape. I don't drink soda often or eat junk food aside from the occasional ice cream or piece of pizza on a Friday night. For the most part I eat fruit (lots of it... apples, pears, oranges, bananas, occasionally grapes), vegetables, chicken...

I want to take my mom for a small vacation somewhere within 10 hours of Northern VA. I'm a college student on a budget, looking to keep the hotel room to no more than $70/night, looking to go for 3 nights. I won't want a crap hotel but I realize I'm not going to get super nice either with my...

I am worried about my older dog. He's a shepherd mix, approx 10 years old (that's our best guess... we picked him up as a stray). I've had him for almost 2.5 months. 3 weeks ago he had an episode where he couldn't walk without falling over or running into things because he had no balance, he...

Some of you may have seen the thread I started on how I have been looking for a dog and trying to find a rescue without a ton of ridiculous requirements to go through (I understand the need for certain requirements, but some of them are too over the top, jmo.). The rescue I volunteer for and...

What happened to the days when you could walk into the local pound, apply for a dog with great references, and be approved? The days where you don't have to jump through hoops and meet all sorts of ridiculous requirements to even be considered for a dog? I can provide a wonderful home for a...

I live in an apartment that has a clear NO PETS ALLOWED policy. I get a call last night from my roommate... "Hey, so um... I just adopted a puppy. The rescue was at the student union and it just came over and sat infront of me and licked my leg. I couldn't leave it there!" Um, WHAT?! I get...

I don't really have any right to complain, but I feel like venting anyway. Today I turned 21... and last week had made plans with several friends to go out tonight to dinner and then to the square (the area off campus where the bars are). I've never really been a bar person... I'd much rather...

So, I bought a truck a year ago. An F-150 STX with 2WD. I really wanted a 4WD truck but it was a great deal and I really didn't think I would miss the 4WD. Now that it's spring time, I am really wishing I had a 4WD truck. Not only would it be awesome to be able to drive it out to the lake (you...

I need a good recipe for asparigus. Share away :)

Hey guys. I need ideas on good rat cages or plans so that I can build my own. My rats have a super nice cage for here at home- it's huge, very roomy, tons of room for toys and for them to climb. I can not take the cage apart though and therefore can not bring it to school as I have to smuggle...

8 days ago I rolled my ankle HARD while walking downhill with a 50lb ruck on my back. Pain was immediate and pretty bad but I was just at the start of some vital training so I continued on. The pain lessened a good bit unless I stepped the wrong way. About 8 hours later, I rolled the same ankle...

I don't get it. I work out regularly (at school 5 days a week, on break usualy 4 days a week), drink a lot of water and eat healthy. But I still struggle with keeping my weight within the limit (for my rotc scholarship it has to be in regs). I'm 5'9-5'10 and in the mid-high 160's. I'm in panic...

The vet gave Toes an ivermectin injection on Tuesday. I questioned it and mentioend how I thought that ivermectin wasn't recommended for small animals and she said that side effects were rare and that it was what she recommended since the treatments of Revolution didn't work to take care of...

My hedgehog somehow contracted mites this past summer. We have gone through two rounds of treatment (Revolution "liquid" that you squeeze on), thorough cleaning of her cage, etc. She STILL has them. I've dealt with mites before and one round of treatment and thorough cage cleaning has always...

Hey all, I am hoping you could possibly help me. I am in Army ROTC and for one of my classes we have to find a WWII vet and find out what/who inspired them while they were serving and why. Do any of you have a friend or family member who served during WWII and if so, could you find out if...

I am writing a research battle analysis on the Battle of Little Bighorn. Do any of you know of any sources that talk about what the weather was like during the battle? I need to talk about it if I can find the info but so far no luck.

About 3.5 weeks ago I took a bad step while running and twisted my knee. Pain was almost immediate- sharp/pulling pain above my knee cap slightly to the left, traveling down to what feels like right under my knee cap while walking/running, extending or bending my leg (while sitting or standing)...

I recently went away for 4 days and left my rats at my apartment. My roommate came in and checked on them each day, refilled their water as needed, etc. When I left I filled their bowl with food. When I got back 4 days later, I noticed their bowl was almost completely full but the bag of food I...

Any ideas what causes this? Its a clear / yellowish film that accumulates on the surface of the water in both of my beta's bowls. It feels slimey to touch. Their bowls are cleaned weekly.

*Sigh*. I won't get into how I know this lady, but lets just say I found out she was keeping a 10 year old Collie x Bernese Mountain Dog mix in a 5ft x 5ft cage 24/7 most days, or if not in there then outside in this 90+ degree heat (without any shelter he could fit into) for periods of a few...
