I do not have a skilled trade. I'm working towards becoming a paramedic gaining experience in a caring environment. Is it possible I could move to New Zealand, get a job and work towards that there?
I am a very hard worker, I have alot of experience working on farms and am very good at general manual labour. I currently work in a call centre so am also experienced in customer services.
Do you think i have a chance of being able to get a visa and move to New Zealand? All advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
xxI want to move to New Zealand.... Any advice?
http://www.immigration.govt.nz/nzopportu鈥?/a>
if your job and duties fit into any of the jobs in demand for NZ then you can apply.That does not mean you will be approved.
If they do NOT fit, then you will not be eligible to apply.I want to move to New Zealand.... Any advice?
Like us, many countries are worried about immigration, even from ';white'; nations. But you can only know if you try. Make sure you keep your nose out of trouble (no police record), get some qualifications (e.g. an ambulance paramedic qualification would help), and show that you have taken the trouble to learn about the country and care about it.

Chronic health condition as a new employee. Any advice?
I have been diagnosed with a brain cyst in my left frontal lobe. I am becoming more symptomatic with facial swelling and eyebrow drooping. I never know when migraine activity is going to happen to sometimes full blown migraines. My co-workers see these symptoms in my face often and comment about the swelling under my eyes. It has simply been difficult to hide. I have surgery on the horizon and the consult to see a neuro-surgeon are in process.
I've been on time and work very hard. Mind you, this is retail at Whole Foods vitamins department. I informed my boss of the condition which was not this symptomatic when I applied there a month ago.
I am terribly embarrassed since they had high expectations for me. Now they are informing corporate and the coverage department of the store in the event something should happen which is supposed to be in my best interest. However, I feel like they probably don't want me there with my medical issues.
Can anyone give me advice about how corporations view this? Whether or not I should just level with them and ask if they would like me to resign? I dislike the idea of having to take a leave of absence as a new person in a few months. Any perspectives on this sort of thing--politically speaking? Chronic health condition as a new employee. Any advice?
Take a careful look at the company's HR health related policies. Some companies have a three-month probationary period for which they can let you go ';without cause';. There may also be a waiting period for health insurance (you haven't mentioned whether you need this or not).
Whole Foods is a fairly hard place to get a job. They are known for being a good employer. If you feel really uncomfortable at the local level I would ask to speak with an HR representative from corporate.
This sort of thing happens - people are people. I would definitely NOT resign but I would definitely vocalize my willingness to do whatever I could to work with the company. Tell them that you are eager to contribute and certainly didn't anticipate these issues; the sooner you can get it resolved medically the sooner you can be a real asset to the store.
You might consider buying a pair of just clear lens glasses and wear them to help hide your facial issues. If people ask, just tell them the truth within reason. Chronic health condition as a new employee. Any advice?
do not resign... wait and see if they pay you time off..... take care of yourself...thats whatcorporations are there for to pay your time off... myhusband is a photographer for a big corp and he had cancer surgery and is on 6 mos medical leave

Threats from my ex's new gf...need advice!?
My ex and I have shared custody of our daughter for 2 years now. His new girlfriend of 7 months made him change his number a few months ago b/c she didnt like the fact that we still talked (discussions about our daughter only). I have not spoken to him since before Christmas. Everytime we need to meet up with our daughter or discuss anything regarding her, I've have to go through the new girlfriend. She's very hard to deal with, she lashes out, is very controlling and tries to make all custody decisions. I've come to the point to where I have had enough so I stopped answering her calls/texts and told her that I will only talk to my ex from now on so if he needs anything he will need to contact me directly. I was tired of all my messages being exaggerated and relayed the wrong way. This girl loves drama and all I want to do is keep the peace and be civil. After 4 months of no direct communication, my ex called me last night (from her cell) and told me he will give me the number to the house phone only so I can speak to him if I need to. I told him that was fine as long as I dont have to talk to his girlfriend. So just when I finally feel a bit of relief, she sends me a text this morning saying that I MUST go through her for everything and if I dont then they will not work with me and will make things very crappy for me. Anyway, are there any legal actions I can take against this? Its so stupid and immature. They also just bought a house together, so as of now I have no idea where my daughter is living when she is not with me and I still do not have his cell number.Threats from my ex's new gf...need advice!?
Sounds like you and your ex had things settled out before *****-zilla got involved. Now that he wants her in his life, he has made the decision for you to get this custody arrangement permanent in court. On top of that, I think it's time he paid child support. You also have a right to know where your daughter is. Get the address immediately, or I would think it's considered kidnapping...
Talk to a lawyer today, immediately. Save the text messages she is sending you so the court can see how hostile she is. She does not have any custody rights to your child, so she should not be involved. Take solice in the fact that this guy is getting in way deep with a woman that is going to make him miserable.Threats from my ex's new gf...need advice!?
Time to talk to an attorney. Don't delete any of her or your text messages.
Contact a lawyer and get into court unless you want to keep dealing with this witch.
Are your custody arrangments thru the court? If not, I don't believe you have a legal recourse.
You need to tell your ex firmly that you will speak to him and only him regarding your daughter. His girlfriend has no legal stake in the matter and is irrelevant to the situation.
Also, I would not place the welfare of your child in the hands of his girlfriend. Legally, you have the right to know the whereabouts of your daughter at all times, even during visitiation.
Tell your ex to get a spine.
This is his child. The girlfriend is a nobody as far as your child is concerned. You don't have to deal with her.
Is there a formal custody agreement? If there is, your ex has notify you where he is living.
Tell your boyfriend that you will not have any more communications with his girlfriend concerning your daughter. All communications has to be directly between the two of you only. If he wants to bring her up to date, he has to do it himself.
Good luck
Call a lawyer and buy a notebook. Keep very very detailed records of everything that happens with them that is pertinent to your daughter.Make sure to keep track of and never to delete any messages you get from her, especially if they are creepy
One can certainly understand why ex is ex! Sheesh! Yes, there's quite a bit you can do here. Write a one-pager to ex explaining simply that the court order granting custody requires the two of you to communicate absent any proviso regarding or indeed any mention of his housemate. If he is unable to comply with those terms, either because of HM's unwelcome intervention or any other reason, suggest that you will be pleased to seek legal recourse to address the matter. And also, of course, ignore HM. If you absolutely have to speak with her, advise her that custody arrangements are a matter exclusively between the parents but that if she has a question about child's care while in her home that you would be more than pleased to provide information. Add if you can that you're grateful for her care of your child and that child is genuinely fond of her. You must be firm but keep the door open as she, too, has some responsibility for your child in her home and it SURE doesn't sound like pop is any too accountable!

My cat is scratching my new leather furniture! Advice please?????
I just noticed some holes in my leather sofa from the cat. We really don't want to get the cat declawed, but we payed $3000 for our furniture. Our cat is inside and out through the doggy door. We have 2 small dogs, so if we lock the doggy door, the dogs wouldn't be able to go out and pee pee.
I read on the internet about a product called soft paw nail caps, but it sound kind of ridiculous, and hard to apply!
I'm desperate for some answers!My cat is scratching my new leather furniture! Advice please?????
OH MY GOD. Please. Give me a break. You know, when I tried to research declawing online, all I could find was a bunch of dramatic claims about how horrible your cat will become, and insane PETA and ALF nut jobs telling me im evil, and as so many people here seam to think, ';cruel'; if I declaw.
I say... BULL.
I've had 8 cats in my life, some while living with my parents when younger, two my sisters, and my own.
EVERY ONE WAS DECLAWED. and EVERY ONE WAS PERFECTLY FINE.
I just had my two kittens done. They are perfectly fine. As a matter of fact, they have been soooo much more affectionate since the procedure.
So people around here need to come off their high horses, get over it, and stop claiming to know what your cat is thinking.
The study that claims that declawed cats have more behavioral problems and are more likely to end up back in shelters because of those problems, was done on 150 cats. Thats a pathetic statistical sample of the MILLIONS of cats and declawed cats in the U.S. alone.
People need to stop talking like they sat down with a room full of cats and had a conversation on the subject.
I would be willing BET ANYTHING that EVERY PERSON IN HERE who is bemoaning the procedure as cruel and inhumane has never had the procedure done on a cat, and that they are just giving you second, third, thirty-third hand accounts, most of which are likely based on the same pathetic ';study'; (term used loosely, and PETA propaganda.
I saw and interview with the national head of the SPCA who explained that PETA has done more harm to the animal rights movement than almost any organization outside the cattle industry. They are glory hounds, and attention seekers. They have marginalized the entire movement, and made it easier for lawmakers to dismiss the thousands of people here who work hard, and honestly, on behalf of animals. So please. Consider your sourcesMy cat is scratching my new leather furniture! Advice please?????
you can give it a cane ball
There is this stuff called Sticky Paws it is a special sticky coded paper that you put on your couches-it does no damage to the couch-but it makes the cats claws stick to it and eventually the cat gives up...It worked wonders on my cat!!!
get a sctatching post and train your cat to use it get its paws and show him how to use it and encourage this action my cat uses his every time he has eaten or walkes into the room it is in he is very good
Cats have scent glands on their paws, so when they begin to scratch somewhere, it leaves a smell that says ';scratch here';. This is why it's worth the time and effort to encourage your cat to use a scratch post, because once they start to use it, they always will. They also have individual preferences for what they enjoy scratching, so provide a few alternatives; a sisal post, corrugated cardboard or even a wooden log, until you find one that they will use. I know you don't really want to, but you will have to temporarily cover your sofa while your cat learns to use the scratch post, because as long as they can smell their claw scent, they will think the sofa is the right place to scratch. Place the scratch post next to the area of the sofa where they scratch and once they begin using the scratch post on a regular basis you can remove the protective covering from your sofa.

Be patient, it can take some cats longer than others to get the idea, but it really is worth persevering with the training.
cats usually don't like loud noises, so when you cat goes near the couch just raise your voice and say NO or CLAWS and the cat will stop. If this doesn't work then i suggest you use a spray bottle, and everytime your cat goes to scratch the couch you spray them. They'll catch on pretty quick!

PLEASE DON';T DECLAW
Before you make the decision to declaw your cat, there are some important facts you should know. Declawing is not like a manicure. It is serious surgery. Your cat's claw is not a toenail. It is actually closely adhered to the bone. So closely adhered that to remove the claw, the last bone of your the cat's claw has to be removed. Declawing is actually an amputation of the last joint of your cat's ';toes';. When you envision that, it becomes clear why declawing is not a humane act. It is a painful surgery, with a painful recovery period. And remember that during the time of recuperation from the surgery your cat would still have to use its feet to walk, jump, and scratch in its litter box regardless of the pain it is experiencing.
There has been a lot of people saying there something about cats and leather furniture they love to scratch and claw it. Try a spay called Feliway you can get it at the vet or order it on line. I don't know if it will help but try it any way or talk to the vet while there about it. You most likely get free advice
.
Soft paws DEFINITELY! Works like a charm and they come in really fun colors!
Really easy to apply actually and they can stay on for 2 months or longer.
A very good solution and much kinder than declawing.
well other than that the only other thing to do is by a spray for your couch that repels cats, or get covers, i think u can make ur own stuf to!
do you work for lydia clad.?
never mind, i thought u were some one else.if u live neer a beach go and get some drift wood. for the cat to scratch.zits

Canon Rebel XSi vs. the new Nikon D5000, advice needed.?
Hi guys. I am looking to get a new dslr. I have some basic experience with photography and I understand the main components such as aperture, shutterspeed, iso, wb etc etc. I have experience with my friends nikon slr and now i'm looking to get my own slr.
There are two cameras I'm considering, the canon rebel XSi and the nikon D5000. I know there is a new rebel T1i but that is too much for me, the D5000 is the top of my budget limit. The D5000 is also 200ish more than the XSi. But I don't like the fact that D5000 won't autofocus on lenses unless they are AF-S, because I want a 50 mm f/1.8 and it won't autofocus on that. But i do like the faster fps, higher iso, build quality and movie mode as a bonus.
Which body would you get and why? Thanks for help.Canon Rebel XSi vs. the new Nikon D5000, advice needed.?
You have answered your own question. The D5000 doesn't have the auto focus motor in the camera body so you have to use the very small selection of Nikon lenses created for it if you want auto focus. All the great Nikon glass, the primes like the 50 1.8 and their top zooms won't work. And you can forget about any of the other brands like Tamron or Sigma.
The D40, D60 and now the D5000 are made for people who are going to leave the camera in full auto mode.
The XSI on the other hand is full featured. It has the same Digic III processor with 14-bit processing as their top of the line cameras. All of the Canon EOS lenses will work. The 50 1.8 is a wonderful lens and it cost about $89. The L series lenses are among the best in the world.
The bottom line is you get access to the entire Canon system as well as other lens makers. Both camera's are going to give you a great image so your choice comes down to personal preference. I'm biased, I shoot with the XSI so keep that in mind.
Tim
http://www.timothylittle.comCanon Rebel XSi vs. the new Nikon D5000, advice needed.?
Tim's answer is full of misinformation. It is very untrue to say that Nikon offers only a ';very small selection'; of lenses created for it. It is outright false to advise the original poster to forget about Tamron and Sigma. D5000 has same image quality as D90, but with an articulating screen.
i had the same problem about a week ago. but i finally made up my mind and got the rebel sxi. and dude im telling you thats its a freaking sick camera man. im getting into photography myself. and this camera is just perfect. it takes rapid pictures and they all come out clear.
i strongly suggest the rebel. i also couldnt afford the new rebel. but the sxi is so bad *** dude. get it.
I will be honest with you, if your friend uses Nikon and you plan to go shooting together then maybe it would be a good idea to also get a Nikon. You could trade and swap lenses and accessories and he could offer you advice and troubleshoot problems you may have.
As far as the D5000 goes, do not buy it for the movie mode. I have had to explain many times on here how terrible video modes are on DSLR's. No AF so you have to manually focus, you need to be tripod mounted because camera shake is magnified greatly etc etc... I would recommend saving up a bit more for the D90 but if the D5000 is your limit then so be it, it looks like a nice camera.
(How about that, sound Nikon advice and I'm a Canon owner. Not everybody needs to push their own brand on others ;o) )

All the great Nikon glass, the primes like the 50 1.8 and their top zooms won't work. And you can forget about any of the other brands like Tamron or Sigma.
The D40, D60 and now the D5000 are made for people who are going to leave the camera in full auto mode.
The XSI on the other hand is full featured. It has the same Digic III processor with 14-bit processing as their top of the line cameras. All of the Canon EOS lenses will work. The 50 1.8 is a wonderful lens and it cost about $89. The L series lenses are among the best in the world.
The bottom line is you get access to the entire Canon system as well as other lens makers. Both camera's are going to give you a great image so your choice comes down to personal preference. I'm biased, I shoot with the XSI so keep that in mind.

Tim's answer is full of misinformation. It is very untrue to say that Nikon offers only a ';very small selection'; of lenses created for it. It is outright false to advise the original poster to forget about Tamron and Sigma. D5000 has same image quality as D90, but with an articulating screen.

i had the same problem about a week ago. but i finally made up my mind and got the rebel sxi. and dude im telling you thats its a freaking sick camera man. im getting into photography myself. and this camera is just perfect. it takes rapid pictures and they all come out clear.
i strongly suggest the rebel. i also couldnt afford the new rebel. but the sxi is so bad *** dude. get it.
I will be honest with you, if your friend uses Nikon and you plan to go shooting together then maybe it would be a good idea to also get a Nikon. You could trade and swap lenses and accessories and he could offer you advice and troubleshoot problems you may have.
As far as the D5000 goes, do not buy it for the movie mode. I have had to explain many times on here how terrible video modes are on DSLR's. No AF so you have to manually focus, you need to be tripod mounted because camera shake is magnified greatly etc etc... I would recommend saving up a bit more for the D90 but if the D5000 is your limit then so be it, it looks like a nice camera.
(How about that, sound Nikon advice and I'm a Canon owner. Not everybody needs to push their own brand on others ;o) )

Can anyone give me advice for making new friends?
i just need more help making new friends, cause i only have like 2 friends so... im kinda shy when it comes to making new friends.Can anyone give me advice for making new friends?
The best way that I know of is to maybe join a club or after school activity that interests you. That way you will meet people with like interests. Then all you need to do is just be yourself. If someone was meant to be your friend, they will like you for you, and not who they think you should be. Also, don't try something just because the crowd you're with is doing it. I've learned the hard way, that doesn't work either. Good luck and God Bless, hon!Can anyone give me advice for making new friends?
share a joke
smile and always bring a smile with you
Dude is right! Smile! That is an invitation to be friends. Picture some scowling, hateful look like most kids seem to wear...they don't look very ';friendly';, do they? Then picture the ones that smile. They look nice, huh? So will you if you just smile. Say hi to people, and smile.
It seems like people nowadays think they are not supposed to look other people in the eye, and they are supposed to act like zombies. It is sad. It is ignorant!
The world should be one big family . If everybody would act friendly it could be one big family! Do what you can to promote it.
Same here! You can e my new friend.
Yeah... you're quite the same as I do. I'm quite shy to make friends(face to face)
But know I found a new way to find some more friends:
maybe you can click on somebody's profile in Yahoo! Answers and then email them...
If you're over 18, you can join things like Yahoo 360 or Myspace. But if you're under 18, you can start conversations w/kids at school.
Spend more time out. Go to the malls, movies, different stores. Start conversations with people when you get eye contact. Basically just say hi to people when they look at you in your eyes for more than 3 seconds. GUARANTEED you'll get more friends
advice depends if your child or adult. If child, make friends with people your age and you see regularly anyways, school chums, but avoid stanger adults or adults trying strange offers. With school pals or neighbours be brave, and just say hi and smile, and be respectful and polite. Ask your acquaintances to let you join in their activities, or invite them into your activities, Join sports or other school clubs, not gangs though. Support someone who gets hurt or embarrassed, they'll become good friends, and maybe support for you when you need it too. Friendship is just something that happens out of that attitude and behaviour.
If your adult, also, need to be brave, have respect in your heart and smile and say hi often, even if just for practice. Sometimes more than just practice happens, they smile back. Let respect and care live in your heart, start a conversation and let it take its course. Talk about concerns and cares or just talk just any topic or let more interesting or more talkative subjects develop. Offer help if any way you could help at all at anything, Always let care and respect live in your heart as you converse. Shake hands before departing. Ask for contact phone or email before leaving each other, before you miss the chance to contact again. Later, ask to meet or share outings etc...
Have patience, and good humour too.
Oh, and one thing for sure, although it may seem unconventional advice, don't buy into that ';shy'; label. If others call you shy, ignore it, If you acted shy in the past, don't worry about it, let yourself grow out of it. If you feel shy, never mind it. Just let respect and care live in your heart and be positive and do those things listed above. Friendships will be a by-product, but nonetheless, still the achievement of your aim.
be friendly, smile, go up to people in a bar or at the movies and say hi.
don't- friends are very unimportant, don't waste your time
My advice for you to making friends is to be yourself. Trust me, it is so much better to have friends who love you for who you are than what you are acting like. And, yes I am shy too... but learn to open up. Show them that you are more than just a shy person by showing your inner humor, talents, and personality. Talk to people. Any conversation is good... except sick and disgusting stuff or things that would make them uncomfortable. What else? Hmm... oh, and maybe meeting your friend's friends. Just the same as making new friends, but with an old friend to introduce you to them. Well, hope I helped. Buh bye! =)

Where should I open a new checking account?!! advice!!?
I have a Wamu account which I will be closing soon. There's not many banks around my house. I have 5/3 bank, %26amp; Lasalle nearby. I would like to open a new account strictly to use on ebay and tranfer money from paypal that's it. I've looked at many and still having trouble choosing where to go. I found chase has a $25 fee to open an account and so does Lasalle/BOA. So I narrowed it down to those two for now. 5/3 is much more money, I heard of everest but I found their webpage confusing.
Anyone have suggestions on a bank where I can open an account online??? So that I can have checks and a debit card sent via mail to me. Sharing your experiences welcomed =)Where should I open a new checking account?!! advice!!?
You should not be charged to open an account. I have opened an FNBO account online. I think ING Direct is also simple to open an account and has good rates. Are there any credit unions you are eligible to join, they might offer better terms(fewer and/or lower fees).

I am new to RI and trying to decide between South County Hospital and Women & Infants Hospital -- any advice?
I am pregnant with my 2nd and hubby and I are new to the area and are 1/2 way between each hospital. Any mom's have experience with either hospital?I am new to RI and trying to decide between South County Hospital and Women %26amp; Infants Hospital -- any advice?
Definitely choose Women and Infants Hospital. It is known as RI's birthing center. I have many friend's and relative's that are in the medical field, both doctor's and nurses... they would tell you the same thing. Have you chosen an OBGYN yet? Maybe they could give you more advice? Either way... good luck! I hope you find the right one for you and your baby.

JUST BE FRIENDLY TALK TO THEM INTRODUCE YOUR SELF OE JUST SIT ALONE AND POSSSILY SOME1 WILL COME TOO YOU
Just go up to the nicest looking girl/boy and ask to eat lunch with them. Most people are nice enough and say yes.
Be involved with the conversation, but don't take it over.
Maybe that person will see how cool you are and will want to become friends.
P.S. Avoid the loudest ones in the cafeteria.
Be friendly and Say '; Hi my name is..'; and sit a lunch table every day and join clubs like yearbook, etc.
Suck it up, learn how to skate if you don't know how to, and try and talk to them. If you don't want to be a skater, just be yourself around everyone and you'll make friends fast.
what i would do, is go up and talk to someone,
try making a new friend that way,
and if you're lucky, they will introduce you into their friends,
gooood luck!
you can also try to learn some of their names and friend request them on facebook.
goood luck!
all you can do is just be really really nice to everyone, even if they are mean to you. just be confident and be yourself and im sure you'll make some friends. don't hold back... just start conversations with people. good luck!

Advice for a new gun owner.?
I am currently 17 years old and will be attending a college just in Los Angeles next summer. As I am concerned for personal safety, I will be purchasing a handgun to excercise one of my Constitutional rights.
However, I am still unsure about what to buy and where to find more information about guns.
If you could give me any advice, it would be greatly appreciatedAdvice for a new gun owner.?
If this will be your first handgun I'd go with a double action revolver. Revolvers are uncomplicated. Pull the trigger and they fire... No safety, no clearing a jam, no mag release button..
As far as which caliber to buy... .357 magnum.... You can shoot .38specials in it for practice cheap then load .357's for protection.
Good luck and remember .. practice, practice, practice....
Be safe.Advice for a new gun owner.?
I hate to say this, but in California, you have to be at least 21 to own a handgun. If you are 18, you may own a rifle, so I would suggest a 12 gage shotgun. If you intend on bringing a handgun anyways, I would suggest a 45 caliber. A 45 relies on mass and not penetration so it will punch a bigger hole and stop without killing your neighbor. A 9mm is weak and over penetrating/under wounding. A 357 carries the same lead as a 38 but will kill your neighbor because its more powder and will punch through a wall, smaller then a 9mm.... you do the math on that. On the other hand, the sound of a shotgun pump will be heard and is widely recognizable and you may never have to fire a shot.
No the constitution says you have the right to bear arms, which means that you have the right to hang bear arms over your fireplace. That is what the framers were talking about. I love family guy, Great show!!!
If you're really looking for self defense, get a shotgun. Easier to hit something with and less likely to punch through walls and hit somebody you don't want to.
I would purchase an M-60 machine gun on the black market. Nobody will mess with you when they see you carrying that around.

How i treat my new car! (great advice!!!)?
So i bought this ford fiesta some days ago and i found a neat trick to make the engine run smoother! Every morning (its really cold where i live) i start the engine and then immediately press the gas pedal all the way down (with neutral of course) for 30 minutes! At like 6000rpm!!!! It then works great!!! And once i get on the street, i warm up the brakes by speeding for a few meters and then pushing the brakes with all my might!!!! Did you know this method?? I love my FORD!!!How i treat my new car! (great advice!!!)?
If someone gave me a car made by ford i would treat it exactly the same
as you, can`t stand them. You should try driving it up against a brick wall
which will provide you with go faster scratches.Make sure you do both sides of the car or it will look more stupid than it already does.How i treat my new car! (great advice!!!)?
Well i guess that's good as long as you are not redlining it but yes i have done that but not for 30 minutes and not at 6000rpms because that's the redline for me, probably at 4000rpms and i also love my FORD. 87 Ford Mustang Gt
thanks for the advice but id rather not....-.-......

Our rabbit needs a new home, any advice?
My daughter WON a bunny 3 years ago at a local festival and the poor thing just lives in her room in her cage day after day (even if my daughter forgets to feed her for a couple days)...I feel bad and want to find a home for her (the rabbit not my daughter...lol). Does anyone know what kind of organization might take a rabbit? She really doesn't fit in with a house full of retrievers (we breed Goldens). thanksOur rabbit needs a new home, any advice?
You can contact http://www.petfinder.com in you area. They may be able to help you place your daughter's rabbit.All the best;~)Our rabbit needs a new home, any advice?
Your choice of organizations is limited.
You cannot simply donate a rabbit for 'medical research', as creatures used in this manner must be 'germ free', and these are very expensive animals bred in a specialized environment.
Your local zoo would be able to accept your rabbit. I would advise sending it by courier, (the postal service may not accept livestock), and addressing it to the curator of reptiles.
There is a house rabbit society that finds homes for rabbits or else go to yahoo groups and they have rabbits classified group its mostly breeders but you will also find people who are just looking or a pet give a description of the rabbit, the price, and if you can give any help transporting it. Also a newspaper add is not bad but be careful some people use the newspaper to find food for snakes and other reptials.
I went through tons of pets when i was a kid with the same problems lol my hampster learnt to only use the bathroom in one corner bc it rarley got changed. Call up a few local pet shops and ask if they will take him. That always worked best for me. That was the bunny will have a loving home =) Just make sure if they cant sell him or give him away to call u so nothing happens to the poor thing.
Your son is an ****ole, your daughter is selfish and yes, you are mean, but at least you are trying to find bunny a new home. I'm not surprised your bunny is not very friendly as it doesn't sound like she's had much love shown to her. Enquiring at the vets is a good idea.
Place an ad on a classifieds website like www.cragislist.org or www.kijiji.com. Do not offer a free rabbit. If you do, it could end up as food for a snake (or other reptile). Be honest about the situation and the bunny's behaviour. Don't do 'first come first serve' screen the interested people. Ask some questions about rabbit care, like housing, food, letting it out. Ask WHY they want the rabbit, be careful of people wanting a rabbit for their children (as you know what can happen).
If posting as ad doesn't work or you can't find a suitable person, a local rescue would be a good choice. I don't recommend a pet store as they will just sell the bunny and not really care.
It seems like the best thing you can do is see if their are any pet shops located around your area, they should be able to take the bunny, as long as nothing is wrong with it, also maybe a local vet
may be able to find a home for it or even take it until they do, so just look in the phone book in maybe the yellow pages under pet shops, I'm pretty sure they will take it. Hope this helps!
You can place an add and adopt the bunny out yourself. I would try that first. If that doesn't work I would take it to your local no-kill shelter and they can find it a home. If I lived nearby I would take her but unfortunatly I'm clear in Iowa! good luck!

Ask WHY they want the rabbit, be careful of people wanting a rabbit for their children (as you know what can happen).
If posting as ad doesn't work or you can't find a suitable person, a local rescue would be a good choice. I don't recommend a pet store as they will just sell the bunny and not really care.
It seems like the best thing you can do is see if their are any pet shops located around your area, they should be able to take the bunny, as long as nothing is wrong with it, also maybe a local vet
may be able to find a home for it or even take it until they do, so just look in the phone book in maybe the yellow pages under pet shops, I'm pretty sure they will take it. Hope this helps!
You can place an add and adopt the bunny out yourself. I would try that first. If that doesn't work I would take it to your local no-kill shelter and they can find it a home. If I lived nearby I would take her but unfortunatly I'm clear in Iowa! good luck!
Moving and living in New Zealand....need advice?
so i'm leaving in 5 months to live in new zealand with a friend for the year, we've sent in all the paperwork to get our visa's and jobs and watnot, not its just finding a place to live.
we fly into Aukland, but aren't sure where in the country we'd like to live.
Anyone know of good places for two 24 yr old males just looking to experience a different culture and meet new people!
Also, what are some good sites I could use to find a nice appartement in a good part of town?Moving and living in New Zealand....need advice?
my cousin moved there bout a year ago nd she loves it she actually lives in auckland and says its to die for but she is into her sports. i also hear christchurch is nice but that is no where near auckland but just think about it. try google for apartments it should help !!Moving and living in New Zealand....need advice?
My only experience in NZ was on a typical package tour,
but I feel I got somewhat of a sense of the place.
We went to a lot of places on both North and South Island.
Auckland is the big commercial centre and ';main city';.
It seemed to me very much like other modern cities and for
that reason might be a better place to live than to visit.
It's sort of the reverse of the old clich茅:
';a great place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there';.
Other cities, to me at least, were more picturesque and
with lower populations, slower and calmer.
Wellington at the south tip of the North Island was beautiful and would appeal to me greatly.
The South Island has fewer people, lots more sheep, and
incredibly beautiful scenery. Christchurch seemed a nice
city. In fact, just about every city, large and small
seemed rather nice.
For your age, probably your choices would be limited
to the larger cities such as Auckland and Wellington,
as you are likely to find more of a social life and ';action';.
I would imagine your chances for employment are best
there as well.
If you are more into country-type and outdoor activities,
then there are lots of choices. Queenstown, for example,
is a big tourist attraction with lots of adventure sports
going on, so if that's your thing, it might work out.

I'm getting a new dog, any advice?
Her name is Tara and she is 6 months old. She is 3/4 Great Pyrenees 1/4 Maremma. Hopefully she will be a livestock guardian dog (LGD) for my goats. I've been doing a lot of research about her breeds and LGDs in general so I can kind of prepare myself as in what to expect. Does anyone have any advice as in how to introduce her to the goats? Should she be immediately kept in a pen with the goats, or near the goats? Should she be allowed inside the house at all, since she won’t generally be allowed after(if) she bonds with the goats? Does anyone have any idea how big she may be now? I emailed the person who has her asking questions also but she hasn’t got back to me yet. I’m getting her this Monday so any advice would be greatly appreciated.I'm getting a new dog, any advice?
That's nice! Dogs are very playful!
Here are some tips:
•Walk the dog everyday before you start school
•Don't forget to feed your dog!
•Be sure it has lots of attention. You might want to start with a puppy first because it sleeps when you're in school.
•Teach your dog tricks. Its a best way to have a really playful dog.
•You might want an Australian Shepherd. It's playful, it needs long walks, and naps a lot. I have one and it's one of the smartest dogs. Or you want a Border Collie. It is the smartest dog.
Okay so I hope you will get a dog. Here are some websites:

Well I don't know about this breed, but I do know if you type great pyrenees in your search engine, you will probably find some clubs to join. I have shelties and I joined sheltie clubs and you can ask questions there like you do here and you get lots of answers and mostly lots of support. I guess I would put her on a leash, and take her to the goats to see how she reacts. My neighbor has a goat, and two boxers, and the goat keeps the dogs in their place. My moms dogs were outside during the day with her, but slept in the house at night when the weather was bad. I would train her to behave in the house in case you have weather issues.

this website tells u everything u need to know ...... even training w/ sheeps n cattle ......
I wouldn't think u should bring the dog in the house ..... it says that puppies as early as 3-4 weeks are placed w/ young lambs to begin the bonding ..... don't want to confuse ur puppy ........
they get upto 23-29 inches 65-110lbs

Hi Meg:
If you want to use an LCD TV as a monitor so you can watch TV with the same equipment and also view DVD movies and stuff, I think the best option is to get a model from the ';Touch Of Color'; line from Samsung.
There are several monitors from that line that come already with an integrated TV receiver, that way, you can use it with your PC as a monitor, but it also serves as a standalone TV because you can connect either your antenna or your Cable TV to the back of it and watch TV as in a ';normal'; TV.
By going for that option, you save some money and you won't need to buy extra TV tuner cards for your PC.
Here you have three different LCD's that come already with TV tuner, and of course, you can also use them as a monitor for your PC:

Yea if you want quality make sure you buy a computer with HDMI, you can use that with most new HD TVs. A lot of new TVs also have VGA, thats good too.
Hi there
Im sorry, im not computerized expert. you can stip by Fry or else to get a clear consultants
goodluck
I would go with an AMD system - it's much cheaper. Plus, you're not gaming or doing anything heavy duty so no need for an over-priced Intel.

Weight Watchers, (^_^ Starting a new life) any advice on how to stay motivated?
My mom is going to be taking me tomorrow to a Weight Watchers meeting. I'm going to be starting it and I couldn't be happier...I am going to be 17 and I weigh 210 pounds. I am 5' 3';. This is not good whatsoever. But, I'm going to start taking care of myself. I want to be normal. I lost over 20 pounds on Jenny Craig but I couldn't take the food anymore. And I gained it all back. I just need to get motivated again. I want to be able to shop for clothing and not feel so ashamed of myself...It hurts so much sometimes. Especially hearing some EXTREMELY skinny girls say ';I'm so fat!';. I need to be healthy. I want to be able to do so many things.Weight Watchers, (^_^ Starting a new life) any advice on how to stay motivated?
You are on the right track! Weight Watchers is the best!
It teaches you discipline and accountability.
The best thing is you get to eat REAL FOOD! I'm not surprised you gained back your weight once off Jenny Craig.
The best advice I can give you or anybody is don't look at it as a diet, but a life change. Which simply means, when you reach your weight goal, you will still have to continue eating as if you were on a ';diet';. Otherwise, you will again regain all your lost weight.
This doesn't mean you can't splurge on occasion. I have disciplined myself to have 1 or 2 bites of a chocoloate cake and then walk away. If I still want more, I just take my dogs for a walk - 99% of the time, by the time I'm back from our walk, the craving has subsided.
Stay active, even if it's just walking every day. You will be surprised at how fast the lbs will melt away.
And please don't set your sights on being a size 4! Always set goals within reach - otherwise you will never hit your goals and then you will get discouraged and of course turn to food. If you're a size 16 now, set a goal to fit into size 14 jeans in 30 days. Every 10 lbs you lose, usually means one size smaller.
Remember to set REALISTIC GOALS!
I hope this helps and I wish you great success!

OMg I HATE my new haircut any advice?
Okay I have a theory that a new haircut always takes 2 weeks or so to settle in. I got a haircut 2 weeks ago and I hated it....I let my hair grow out past my boob legnht so that I can later have lots of layers cut into it. However I must have not communicated well with the stylist. the shortest layer barely touches my shoulder and I hate the way it look because it's way too much of a difference from the longest layer in my hair. What should I do wear my hair in a bun until I can grow out my shortest layer and eventually cut it even?OMg I HATE my new haircut any advice?
Try curling it.
Try straightening it.
Don't worry...it'll grow out...but instead of wasting
your time hating it...learn to love it.
You can tie it back in a simple pony tail...and a bun.OMg I HATE my new haircut any advice?
I hate retarded hairstylists who **** up ur hair, no matter how specific you are, no matter how many pics you show, they still get it wrong! I asked to get my hair trim and my bangs trimmed below my eyebrows. My hair ended up above my chin and my bangs 1 inch above my eyebrows!!! AGHHHHH
Your hair feels thin because of all the layers she cut in your hair and didn't take the time to blend them and take some of the weight out of the top or shortest layer. So, you hair feels a little uneven. I'd say to go back to the salon where you got it done and see if you can have the girl try that or if she can fix it. But, most salons say you can come back within a week after that you might have a hard time?
Okay, so I did the same thing and I pretty much had to wait it out. You can't style it cute or anything, it just looks awful allll the time. I ended up getting it cut to the shortest layer, which was at my shoulder. I got eight inches cut off. Yeah, I was pissed. I suggest you do the same because it looks a lot better than all the layers, trust me.
Your hair feels thin because its super thick at the top and you cut off all the hair, so for each layer, thats how much hair you cut off. At the bottom, there's barely any so its super thin because there's like no hair.
Hang in there, you'll be alright.
You have a couple options.
1. try Curling it. If your hairs curly, you don't notice the layers as much.
2. Don't cut it quite even, but do cut the longest layer shorter, That way, the contrast won't be so dramatic.
3. You can find hairstyles, where your hair is half up. just pull the short layers back.
Just wait it out. Get another haircut after a month or so if you don't like it by then.
