Resolved Question: Can I sue my vet in small claims court?

have a question. I recently took my dog to banfield vet to get a routine spay operation. I dropped her off at 7am and picked her up at 3:30. the vet went over the discharge with me and said that she was good everything went well. that she slept most of the time and that she was bleeding from her incision but that it stopped and to keep an eye on it. I took her home and she wasnt acting normal. she was stumbling alot and actually collapsed. I hurried up and called the vet and the tech kelly told me not to worry that they had given her pain management meds and its normal after surgery for this to happen. I knew something wasnt right. I have had many dogs spay and this is the first time that a dog couldnt even walk right. I made my dog comfortable and went out in the kitchen to get something to eat. when I came back in a bout 5 mins later I noticed were she laid that there was a lot of blood I keep trying to clean it up but it was pouring out of the incision. I called the vet tech back and she said that if i feel that the dog needs to go to the emergency vet to take her there, because the vet left for the day. I called the local vet and they told me that they were calling at 6:30 and that i could bring her in however if she needed to go back under to fix the stitches they would have to send me to the emg vet anyways. I called castle shannon vet and they advised me to get her in right away and to wrap a towel around her which i did. by the time i got ready 5 mins later the towel was soaked with blood. I picked my dog up and put her in the car and rushed her to the emg vet. lucky I did because they said she was bleeding internally and that they had to rush her for emg surgery. they said it was coming from the tube that theovary is removed from. I called banfield the next day to advise what happened and to see if they were going to pick up the bill. The vet tech said that the vet wouldnt be in until saturday the 16th. and that he will review her charts. I called in on the 16th and he said that he wasnt going to pay for the surgery because it was a complication of the surgery. I advised that it isnt a common one and that the emg vet believes that she had a slow bleed after surgery. The vet advised that it was out of his hands that he would have his manager call me on monday the 18th or tuesday. he stated that he would do follow up blood test for free. I advised him that i was already at the emg vet getting the follow up blood test done to make sure since my dog had such low blood pressure that it didnt do anything to her kidneys. I just want to see if I have a case again the first vet. he did inform me when I picked her up that she had some blood but that it stopped. He said to me well she was fine when she left here. but even his staff said that all she did was sleep so that couldnt have told them much. she did walk out but when we were driving home she couldnt even hold her head up. I just assumed it was from the pain management that they gave her. The emg vet advised that it could be looked at both ways. that the spay wasnt done correctly or that it was just an unfor occurence. please let me know what you guys think, If I should seek legal advise or noti am not wanting to sue for pain and suffering, just to pay the emg surgery bill since the vet that did the surgery left for the day. If you take your car to get a new engine and it stalled the next day wouldnt you want them to fix it and make it right. (just an example, My dog is not a car) more

I dont have the kind of money laying around. an for the record I am glad my baby made it. She seems to be doing much better. my initial thought was if this would have happened during normal hours and if i had be able to go back to banfield would they have reopened her and fixed it for free. more

Resolved Question: My dogs tail broke..?

Okay, right begore the 4th my 13 year old dalmatian, with bad arthritis broke her tail while falling off my bed. We took her to the vet and they readjusted it, cleaned the open wound and put her on antibiotics, on our way home from the vet office, my dog broke her tail again in the car... My dad had to pull over and reset it. He refused to go back to the vet because they had told us there isn't anything they can do besides amputate it, if that was the only option left. Anyways, after many uncomfortable days later, we decided to put a sprint on it so it would heal straight, considering she's a tail wagger :P After 2 days of her not caring it was wrapped around her tail, i walked into my room 10 minutes ago and noticed she had ripped it off out of discomfort. I took a look at it, as best as I could and it appears as if there are white dots on it, they are very tiny and almost invisable but they are there -- Also, it looks as if her tail from the break down is "dangling" instead of attached to the rest of the tail. I'm so incredibly stressed, my vet won't give me any answers without having to pay hundreds of dollars and I don't have that kind of money at the moment. What do you think is going on and what can I do until I can afford something? more

Resolved Question: Should I Trade In My Car to Help Someone Else Buy A Car?

Here's a tricky situation I can't wrap my head around. I have a car that's worth approx $11,000. I Owe around $14,000 on it. I really don't want it anymore. I was given the option of trading it in and the dealer would pay $1000 toward what I owe, knowing there would be a gap that needed to be paid be me. I thought about it and decided to hold on to the car and pay it down a little. But, my girlfriend needs a new car and I was wondering would it be worth while to use my car as a trade in considering I owe so much still, would it reduce her monthly payments or make them go up? Is there some way all parties can walk away not "holding the bag" so to speak? more

Resolved Question: Have you ever bought the cheapest Car on the New Car lot?

I got me the cheapest car on the lot, and when this one guy was wrapping up the paper work, he looked at my credit report, saw my salary, and looked at what I was buying. With a chuckle he said he bet he could find a car on the lot with power windows and an automatic transmission. Of course that led into the conversion about getting a second commuter car, to keep the miles off my big truck on long hauls saving on expensive fill ups that exceeds what I am paying monthly for the car including what it cost to fill and insure, which he agreed was smart, but it was funny that when people think you can get all you can afford and you do not, it disturbs them a bit. more

Resolved Question: Is this Obama's real objective?

In case you haven't figured out what's happening, here's a wrap-up of the program: WAYNE ALLYN ROOT: Overwhelm the system [Image] WAYNE ALLYN ROOT Barach Obama is no fool. He is not incompetent. To the contrary, he is brilliant. He knows exactly what he's doing. He is purposely overwhelming the U.S. economy to create systemic failure, economic crisis and social chaos -- thereby destroying capitalism and our country from within. Barack Obama is my college classmate ( Columbia University , class of '83). As Glenn Beck correctly predicted from day one, Obama is following the plan of Cloward & Piven, two professors at Columbia University . They outlined a plan to socialize America by overwhelming the system with government spending and entitlement demands. Add up the clues below. Taken individually they're alarming. Taken as a whole, it is a brilliant, Machiavellian game plan to turn the United States into a socialist/Marxist state with a permanent majority that desperately needs government for survival ... and can be counted on to always vote for bigger government. Why not? They have no responsibility to pay for it. -- Universal health care. The health care bill had very little to do with health care. It had everything to do with unionizing millions of hospital and health care workers, as well as adding 15,000 to 20,000 new IRS agents (who will join government employee unions). Obama doesn't care that giving free health care to 30 million Americans will add trillions to the national debt. What he does care about is that it cements the dependence of those 30 million voters to Democrats and big government. Who but a socialist revolutionary would pass this reckless spending bill in the middle of a depression? -- Cap and trade. Like health care legislation having nothing to do with health care, cap and trade has nothing to do with global warming. It has everything to do with redistribution of income, government control of the economy and a criminal payoff to Obama's biggest contributors. Those powerful and wealthy unions and contributors (like GE, which owns NBC, MSNBC and CNBC) can then be counted on to support everything Obama wants. They will kick-back hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions to Obama and the Democratic Party to keep them in power. The bonus is that all the new taxes on Americans with bigger cars, bigger homes and businesses helps Obama "spread the wealth around." -- Make Puerto Rico a state. Why? Who's asking for a 51st state? Who's asking for millions of new welfare recipients and government entitlement addicts in the middle of a depression? Certainly not American taxpayers. But this has been Obama's plan all along. His goal is to add two new Democrat senators, five Democrat congressman and a million loyal Democratic voters who are dependent on big government. -- Legalize 12 million illegal immigrants. Just giving these 12 million potential new citizens free health care alone could overwhelm the system and bankrupt America . But it adds 12 million reliable new Democrat voters who can be counted on to support big government. Add another few trillion dollars in welfare, aid to dependent children, food stamps, free medical, education, tax credits for the poor, and eventually Social Security. -- Stimulus and bailouts. Where did all that money go? It went to Democrat contributors, organizations (ACORN), and unions -- including billions of dollars to save or create jobs of government employees across the country. It went to save GM and Chrysler so that their employees could keep paying union dues. It went to AIG so that Goldman Sachs could be bailed out (after giving Obama almost $1 million in contributions). A staggering $125 billion went to teachers (thereby protecting their union dues). All those public employees will vote loyally Democrat to protect their bloated salaries and pensions that are bankrupting America . The country goes broke, future generations face a bleak future, but Obama, the Democrat Party, government, and the unions grow more powerful. The ends justify the means. -- Raise taxes on small business owners, high-income earners, and job creators. Put the entire burden on only the top 20 percent of taxpayers, redistribute the income, punish success, and reward those who did nothing to deserve it (except vote for Obama). Reagan wanted to dramatically cut taxes in order to starve the government. Obama wants to dramatically raise taxes to starve his political opposition.

Resolved Question: Remembering the Blessings of Allah! [Ramadan]?

A young man was getting ready to graduate college. For many months he Had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted. As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Holy Quran. Angrily, he raised his voice at his father and said, "With all your money you give me a Holy Quran?" and stormed out of the house, leaving the Holy book. He never contacted his father again for long long time. Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his father was very old, and thought perhaps he should go to him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things. When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search his father's important papers and saw the still new Holy Quran, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Holy Quran and began to turn the pages. As he read those words, a car key dropped from an envelope taped behind the Holy Quran. It had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words PAID IN FULL. How many times do we miss Allah (SWT) blessings because they are not packaged as we expected? more

Voting Question: How to wrap intricate woodwork in aluminum?

I live in an old house that has a really neat wooden arch in the gables. The problem lies in it is REALLY high and I really suck at heights. Thus, painting is extra crappy. We had a contractor out to give us some info on siding and stuff and he said that they could wrap all of the woodwork in aluminum (for a hefty price, but could, no less), which would eliminate painting AND preserve the integrity and look of the arches. I have no problem paying to have them preserved, but A) how in the world woiuld they wrap the aluminum around little details and such and B) Are there any other ways of doing it? When he said they had "Performance metals" that could be wrapped around stuff, I was thinking something like electromagnetic paint that they put on cars, but I guess it's all about a very talented guy with a tin snips. The guys doing our roof and siding both were very relieved that they weren't the ones wrapping them because both of them thought it would be a terrible job and that it would look like crap when it was done because of all of the intricate stuff. That didn't help my confidence at all.... Anyway, the general question is - any good ideas on how to preserve these arches? How do historical places do it? Thanks! more

Resolved Question: Care giver's unthinking negligence resulted in pedigree dog drowning; can we sue?

The night before our planned trip to the American Maltese Association National dog show, we left our pedigree 6 pound Maltese, Alfie, with a friend who promised to look after him. On the way to the airport the next morning, at 9:20, I called to see how Alfie was doing. The man said that, although he'd been up for hours he hadn't seen Alfie. About 15 minutes later, as we were pulling into the airport, this man called back to tell us that Alfie had drowned in his pool. We pulled out of the airport and drove immediately to his home where we learned he had left the pet door open, but allowed the outdoor lights to go out, over night. The pool is only a few feet from the pet door and Alfie had only been there twice before. We not only lost our precious Alfie but the non-refundable plane tickets and other non-refundable items we'd paid for. We couldn't possibly have gone to the show knowing Alfie was dead. The trip cancellation insurance we bought won't cover this; can we collect from the neglectful caregiver? The friend who was to care for Alfie never said he was sorry. He didn't even do as my husband asked: to wrap my 6-pound Alfie in a towel and dry him off. When we got there I nearly passed out to see his lifeless little body all stiff and sopping wet at the side of the pool, which had overgrown plants blocking some parts of the cool deck around the pool. I used my own towel to wrap and dry Alfie. I was sick to my stomach, cried for days, couldn't eat or sleep: I kept picturing Alfie struggling to get out of the pool. The wife, who was in Scotland, didn't call for several days and then didn't call for a few weeks after she got home. She claims it was an accident, and it was in the same way a car accident or the current oil spill in the Gulf is an accident. I do believe they are liable. I would appreciate an outsiders look at this sad situation. more

Resolved Question: Do you like to to read stories that remind us of kindness?

I didn't write any of these stories, but i wanted to share them with you so that we can remember the this lost life style; the life style of kindness I was in a bike accident on College St. on holiday Monday, May 24. It was bike versus streetcar tracks. Guess who won? Very quickly after I fell a kind gentleman helped get me and my bike off the road. A lady handed me a water bottle and some Kleenex, and a third person just checked to see if I was okay. The gentleman stayed for a bit and guided me to the hospital, but I never got his name. I just wanted to say thank you all for your help. I am sure that to everybody else she was just a puppy who had been struck by a car. To our family she wasn't just a puppy, she was our Mimi, a goofy and beloved member of the clan. Mimi bolted from a relative's home recently. After a fruitless search by many friends and neighbours, she was discovered on Innes Rd., having been struck by a car. Many people driving by stared at me standing over this lifeless dog, talking to her, telling her Mummy was on her way. To the gentleman in the white sedan who stopped and wrapped Mimi in his sweater, we thank you. To the neighbours who helped us look, we thank you. To the friend who drove us across Ottawa trying to find help for our Mimi, we thank you. Several acts of kindness made an awful Victoria Day weekend a little easier. My Uncle Andrew Sky Miller has a garden. Last year he managed to grow 4,500-5,000 pounds of food. After almost achieving his 6,000 pounds of food, he donated it to The Youth Haven, Elizabeth Fry Society, David Busby Street Centre. He also volunteers at David Busby Street Centre. He started helping others after seeing Craig Kielburger, and was inspired to help others. Morgan Cope, Orillia During my high school years, I worked part-time at a clothing store to make ends meet. Prom season was fast approaching, so I worked lots of overtime. One day, the owner asked about my prom dress. I told her that I didn't have the money for the dress or the ticket. The money I was making was helping buy food for my family. A few weeks before my school's prom night, I returned home to find a package in front of my apartment. A note was attached: "Kelly, prom is a big night. Go and have fun." Inside the package was a dress, shoes, a voucher to the Bay's makeup department, and some cash for my ticket. I was overwhelmed. I told my employer that I would pay her back. She wouldn't hear of it. That night was very memorable. Every time I look at pictures from my prom, I tear up instantly. Thank you to Ms. Theresa Wong for showing kindness. You are my role model. Kelly Srivathorlon, Brampton more

Resolved Question: (Guys) Have you noticed a girl doesn't change her mind about a second date until AFTER you pay?

You buy her dinner, desert, then take her to the movies. On the walk out to your old car for the ride home she suddenly realises she has feelings for her ex-, or that she's not ready for a relationship. When you signed for the linguine and clams and maybe later for the flan, she expressed no concern. When you put $9 dollars down for her ticket and soon after bought her what seemed to be a gallon-size cup of Diet Coke she gave no hint whatsoever as she wrapped her arm around you, leaning against you as you walked into the cinema.I know about the Leykis . . . now. I'm feeling a lot of brotherly camaraderie here, and it's refreshing. I'm going to buy all you guys a round of beers, figuratively speaking. hahaMy question should have been, "Why don't they remember why they can't have a relationship with you BEFORE you pay"? more

My boyfriend was 25 when we met and is turning 27 in two days. I recently turned 20. He was normal, sweet, funny, and confident when we met. He becomes hysterical screaming and sobbing, throwing stuff and cussing me out over situations that haven't even happened. He always tells me I am going to leave him for a rich guy. Or a Japanese or Korean guy. Or both. He will even tell me what car these imaginary lovers/new boyfriends will drive. I know the problem arose because I simply told him I was surprised he didn't come from money, since not only has every guy I have dated been foreign and older than me (like my boyfriend), but also from very wealthy families. I regret mentioning this, but this happened two years ago when we started dating, and he will not let it go! My goal in life job-wise is to start my own chain store and make a lot of money so I can retire early and not have a life full of worry over money (my mom was a single mom). Plus, I think it would be really fun! He freaks out about this though and tells me when I am rich I will leave him. I am going to be an exchange student for 4.5 months in half a year to Japan because I have always wanted to go there. My boyfriend tells other people how happy he is for me, but freaks out at me and tells me I am going to cheat on him with a Japanese guy -- I would never and have never cheated on anyone! When we started dating, my boyfriend introduced me to his best friend. Well, one day his friend wrapped his sweater around my shoulders because it suddenly became windy as heck and my boyfriend ignored me...but he sure noticed that and freaked out at his friend! Now he hates the guy and even calls him his enemy. My boyfriend will parade me around to all his friends, and even sing wedding songs...and I think it is sweet he loves me so much...but it seems he has become very clingy and delusional. On our anniversary, he said he would buy me a ring to wear every day. I saw a ring for only $100 on Tiffany's.com and said I would pay for half-of it since I spent around that much on his gift. We went to Tiffany's, but when I saw the ring in person I decided I didn't like it, and said he didn't need to get me a gift. He freaked out and claimed I was implying he was poor (but I didn't want to wear a ring nor have either of us spend $50 on something I didnt really like). He screamed at me in public for hours...went home and screamed at me some more although I told him I just didn't want the ring. He would just throw things, slam doors and cuss me out and said he hated me etc. He became so crazed he almost hit me (I moved), and I thought he was going to kill me when he came in the kitchen while I was cooking and started grabbing stuff...so I locked him in. He screamed that he was going to break the door down, but I packed some stuff and quickly unlocked the door and ran away. It had been hours of him yelling, and was 1:00 am...He found me and took me back to the house. He said he was sorry, but I started having a panic attack and couldnt breath because I was so scared of him...he just cussed me out more. My boyfriend has done lots of crazy stuff before, but I am really worried because he is so delusional. If he doesn't get a job he will claim they didn't like him as a person. If his ''friends'' talk smack about him in front of him he claims they are joking. His friends (many who arent his friends anymore) have told me my boyfriend is crazy and that even when they went to a bar he got drunk and started screaming at random strangers for no reason -- just cussing them out. I don't drink (I'm not legal anyways), but when he gets drunk he usually just sleeps...but lately he will start crying that I'm going to leave him. I am sorry this is so long. My boyfriend has a lot of other issues, but I am simply wondering if anyone here has been or is married to someone who makes things up and goes crazy about them. Thank you so much!!!I know it sounds like all I talk about money...but I honestly dont. This question does simply because a lot of his delusions come of the couple times I mentioned my career goals (which ARE normal things to speak about at my age not to mention in a relationship) and because of that one thing I mentioned. I don't blame you for thinking what you stated, but I always come off poorly on Y!A. I don't even shop in regular clothing stores -- I go to thrift stores...and hardly even shop there. I am not a materialistic person, but want to make my own money because I was raised knowing how hard it can be not having money. I hope this helps.ps: his grandma was abusive, but not his parents. more

Voting Question: I fell out of love with my boyfriend. How do I break the news to him...It's his Birthday in a couple days?

Me and my boyfriend fell in love very quickly. I was in high school and he was in graduate school when we met. Everything was great, until he started insulting my looks. I felt bad, but changed myself and forgave him. He then would freak out over the smallest things...like me buying Norton Antivirus: he started screaming at me in public for buying the legal version (with my money). He turned on his best friend after he wrapped his jacket around me since it was cold and my boyfriend ignored me. He then started insulting my looks...saying I was eurotrash or my arms were too skinny, hair too thick, clothing too old etc. He would talk about other girls all the time, but I forgave him since he was socially awkward with girls. He got worst though and would even yell at me over MADE UP situations...Many times he has even woken me up while I was sleeping to scream at me (I dont talk in my sleep) for hours. He claims I am going to leave him for a rich Korean or Japanese man (since he is Chinese, but I love Korean/Japanese stuff). He even claims to know the car they drive! Sometimes he will come home and start sobbing telling me not to leave him. He slams doors, throws things, and calls me horrible names. One day we were on a date and sitting on a bench and he asks me why I have wrinkles around my eyes (19 yrs old) and traces them with his fingers. I was so humiliated I started crying and he was like, "dont cry or youll get MORE wrinkles!" He stopped caring for his hygiene...he will pee in bottles and leave them around our apt, bathes like once or twice per week, wears the same UNDERWEAR for DAYS. He only brushes his teeth once per day, even though I always complain that his breath smells and his gums are purple. He calls me cute although I know it is only because I call him cute since he has a baby face. I am FAR from cute. This wouldn't bother me though, if 90% of the time he compliments me is when he wants to have sex. I want to start a chain store and make millions of dollars per year...my boyfriend freaks out at me though claiming that I will leave him since he is poor. It feels like he is hoping I will fail! He ruined Christmas, my birthday, Valentine's Day, and our Anniversary. For example, he was hours late for V-day and only got me cans of soda and I paid for the entire date. For my birthday he bought me a junky toothbrush and had me cook HIM dinner. The last straw for me was on our anniversary. He said he wanted to get me a ring for our 2 year anniversary, and I saw a ring for only $100 at Tiffany's.com. So, we went to the store, and I said I didn't actually like the ring in person, and didn't need anything. He then flipped out at me and started screaming at me in public for hours. Somehow he thought I was implying that he was poor because I didn't want the ring afterall -- I would have had to pay for half of it AND always wear it. He was so crazy...he had me go to Harvard campus with him and started screaming about how he wished he had gone there. o__o He freaked out at me for delusional ideas for two days...then the third day I was making dinner and he suddenly started cussing me out (I still have no idea why). He started throwing things and almost hit me. He freaked me out so much that when he came into the kitchen and had that crazed look grabbing kitchen supplies I ran out and locked him in the kitchen. He told me he was going to break down the door, and I knew he would...so I packed some stuff and quickly unlocked the door and ran away. It was around 1:00am...he had been yelling at me for HOURS...he found me and said he was sorry. I was so scared I couldn't breath...I felt really dizzy and knew I was having a panic attack/nervous breakdown. I locked myself in the bathroom, but left because I thought I would pass out (everything was spinning). I told him, and he told me I was trying to get attention and cussed me out again. He tends to spend a few days out of town since we go to different colleges (he is getting his second graduate degree and will graduate soon)...but when he comes home, I feel nervous and scared now. I really don't like seeing him anymore...even his own friends (most are now ex-friends) tell me he is crazy and give me weird looks when my boyfriend acts crazy. I feel really awful because I really loved my boyfriend when we met, and I tried so hard in this relationship and I know my boyfriend loves me...but I am a pretty girl and have a lot of goals in life. Most of my friends are usually guys since I am a gamer/guitarist, but my boyfriend is so jealous too...so It is hard having friends. He hated my mom for over a year because she met him before we went on our first date (him in 20's and me a teenager...I think that was reasonable!) and she knew he was the guy I was dating since he was asian and I went to a white school. Im sorry this is so long...it is my boyfriend's birthday in  more

Resolved Question: patient rights-pregnancy and delivery?

Ok, I am pregnant with my 4th baby. My other kids were born at home. I had a midwife with the first one and the midwife didn't make it in time for the last two so my husband delivered them and with the last one the cord got wrapped around his neck and my husband had to reach in and pull him out. I was worried about complications as I was having some pain early on and I was afraid I would have some damage to my uterus so I decided to go to a hospital to have this baby. The thing is, the town I live in does not have a hospital that will deliver babies and the nearest hospital is just over an hour away-I deliver fast and have very minimal labor signs-and it will be in December. I don't want to have the baby in a car on the way to the hospital-eew! With my last three two were 9 days early and 1 was 14. I also want certain conditions after the baby is born, so here are my questions: 1: Will insurance (medicaid) pay for a hotel close to the hospital or can a doctor very accurately predict my delivery day so we can stay in one? 2: Can I say who I want in the delivery room, like only 1 nurse and the doctor? 3: Can I have my baby directly handed to me immediately after birth? (obviously this is what happened when delivering at home) more

Voting Question: Can you critique my first chapter of my book?

Thanks alot. Feel free to be harsh. That's what I want, some tough criticism. This is PART of Chapter 1,,I haven't gotten around to typing up the rest. Well here it is... He was perfect. The exact image of someone I wanted, someoneI could be happy with. He was standing alone, his dark brown hair blowing in the gentle breeze. The room or place in which I was standing was an endless white in all directions. We were the only two in this unfamiliar place. I stumbled towards him, my hands reaching. He paid no attention to me as I approached, he just stared off into the endless space. I was beside him now, and I had the sudden urge to reach out and touch him, to make sure he was real. I placed two fingers on his shoulder and felt warm, human skin. He was real.But suddenly, the breeze turned into a violent wind, ripping through the empty space. The boy turned to look at me, his eyes a deep and menacing red. I gasped and withdrew my hand in shock. The wind started to pull him awat. Piece by peice he was sucked away from me until he was completely gone. I fell to the ground as the wind stopped, leaving me alone. "Come back!" I screamed to no one, pain overwhelming me. My words echoed back to me and I sobbed. "Please come back." ------------------------------- My eyes flew open. My face was pressed against the dark, forest floor, darkness enclosing me, and cold wind scratching my face. I shivered and sat up, shaking leaves and dirt out of my long, blond hair. Lightning struck the sky, followed by a large earsplitting roar. Rain began to fall, soaking me. I wrapped my arms tightly around me and struggled through the darkness. I tried to shake the whispers out of my head, concentrating on finding the road. I coughed, the cold numbing my legs, and hurried through the trees. I could hear the cars on the highway when the ground shook. I turned to see a huge figure standing directly behind me. It growled, baring its teeth. I took off running, my mind a mess as the creature charged after me. Branches cut my face, stinging through the numbness. My breathing was heavy as I raced forward, my body aching. I didn't know what was behind me, but I knew this was nothing compared to what the monster could create. The creature was right behind me when I saw the highway. I tripped forward, losing control of my arms and legs, and fell down the steep hill leading to the highway. I heard the monsters roar of fustration as I tumbled down the hill, flying towards six lanes of heavy traffic. I hit the wet ground thousands of times, bashing my arms and legs on rocks, until finally I slid into the first lane of traffic, unable to get up. The whir of tires filled the air, and headlights cut across the darkness as someone hit their brakes, sliding across the slick ground. I reacted in a second, pulling myself up off the ground, only to be knocked down again by a heavy force crushing my side. I fell, white hot pain spreading across my body. I gasped for air, unable to breathe. My hands clutched my bloody side and darkness erupted in front of my eyes. My mind went blank but I heard the slamming of a car door and the sound of someone rushing forward. "Noma." I called, my voice feeble. "It's ok, honey. It'll be ok." A woman's unfamiliar voice filled my ears. "Noma." I called louder. "It'll be ok. I'm right here.' Noma said, suddenly appearing beside me. I reached out for her but I lost all sense. My arm dropped and everything went dark. ----------------------------- I felt cut off from the world. I was alive, and awake, but I couldn't tear myself out of the darkness. I was trapped. I existed in a world of silenceand darkness. I was slipping away, falling deeper into the darkness, suffocating. My heart beat furiously as I tried to find something to grasp, to hold onto and pull myself up. But there was nothing. Nothing to stay for. That's where I stopped typing(because I use pen and paper:D) What do you think? Harsh criticism please and do you want to read more? Thanks, Hannah:)Oh and there might be some typo's. I was on an old computer and some of the keys are stuck. more

Resolved Question: Saved injured dog in road, found owner but he refuses to pay and wants dog euthanized.?

I tried to rescue a little dog from a busy road but before I could get to him he was hit by a car. He looked very dead, however after a few moments saw him breathing. I wrapped him up in blanket and rushed him to the vet. Being unemployed and funds very limited I had the vets do just the essentials for stablizing. Went home posted on every lost website,called animal controls within county, logged him lost at Humane, etc. The dog had a color-no tags, not neutered and pretty scruffy, but not starving. By the next day it was obvious he needed extended care, so called a rescue and they agreed to help me. I transferred him to their vet. I offered to foster if he made it. He has a dislocated shoulder, bruised lungs, concussion, enlarged heart that was determined to be severe heartworms. That evening i drove around looking for signs. Later that night a person I know down the road inqured at her neighbors about their dog. He said "yeah, come to think about it I haven't seen him in a few days-he's scared of thunder I just thought he ran to the neighbors". I contact him-says its his-I asked why no signs or posting for lost animal, told him what happened & the dog is still at vet. I have paid almost $200 so far and he's been turned over to the rescue and they've put in probably about $500. He said "I ain't go no money to pay you back" You sound like a scammer!" I know high people and I'll prosecuit you if I find out you are lying!" Anyway, gave him the name of the first vet, told him to go look at all the websites where I had posted trying to find owner. I have receipts-verify at clinic. That money I used to save his dogs life was going to used to pay my electric. Anyway, come to find out he lets his dogs run loose, none are neutered. Obviously not on heartworm preventitive. (we live in the county) I told him also, something to think about is that this dog is going to need extended care and is still critical. He will be at the vet a while, He needs to think how he is going to pay for this. He said he would just euthanize. I tried to make him realize, the rescue now has $500 invested in this dog, and can save him and find a wonderful home. Nope-his dog.He wants the name of the rescue! I told him I would call him back. My thoughts are can this guy do this after a rescue and myself have put such time, stress and money in saving this little dog? He' threatend to sue me, but the way I see it - I think we were the only ones that have ever spent money on this dog. The rescue don't want to give him back to someone like that just to euthanize or to live like that. I've already fallen for this little guy too, A lot of prayers have gone into him. I thought about telling him-bring proof of ownership to include photos and vet records to the vets office, the vet will let you know how much you and then I just back out of picture, because I don't thing he will show up. But he might & the dog would go back to irresponsible owners. Next thunderstorm, be back running down a busy highwy. What should I do? more

Resolved Question: US 1950's style marriage, what did and didn't the wife do?

On TV shows from the 50's wives are seen cooking, cleaning and not much else. My husband of more than five years has nagged me for years that I need to be more like a 1950's wife and cook and clean wearing an apron all day (I don't work any longer, I stay home with our two children who are 3 & 4). Anyway, we've never been a family that has eaten out more than once a week at most. Usually I cook breakfast, lunch and dinner and pack his lunch. However, he doesn't think I should allow the kids toys to be seen at all and should mop, hand wash the dishes (apparently the dishwasher isn't good enough), sweep and vacuum on a daily basis. Our house really isn't messy, but it's not museum clean either, which is what he wants. I've decided to go along with this, on one condition: he has to act the role of a 1950's husband. I've already told him that I would no longer be mowing the lawn, balancing our bank account/paying the bills (the man doesn't even know how much he makes), doing car or home repairs, nor would I be the exterminator around the house any longer. Oh, and I've hidden the microwave (which they didn't have back then) and will be wrapping his dinner plate in foil and set it in the oven to wait for him if he misses dinner. What am I missing? What else do (some) modern wives do that women of the 1950s would never have dreamed to do? I know this sounds petty, but I don't think he'll last a week and when it blows up in his face he might just appreciate what he had all along. more

Resolved Question: What do I do now?!? Or better yet how do I rebound?

So yesterday I went on a first date with a girl that I met through a friend, we have been talking for the last month and seemed to really be clicking. My friend came up with the idea that we should double date so I agreed and asked her of she want to she agreed. At dinner I barely talked to her but once we were in her car we had great conversation and it seemed like she was really enjoying it. We went and saw a scary movie so I had good reason to wrap my arm around her and she seemed to melt into my arms. After that we were in the car again and it seemed to go even better conversation was great. After that we were all invited to hang out at my friends house and we did I payed plenty of attention to her. But today when I asked my friends how it went they both said I didn't pay enough attention to her and that I need to try harder which I thought I was trying hard enough.

So i had a dream last night or this morning not sure but i woke up to move my car and i remembered the whole thing... im at a close family friends house and his son owned an iguana... now this is back when i was younger... im not really afraid of snakes.. atleast not the ones ive been around with before and touched... which isnt really often and the ones ive touched and held over my neck are either corn snakes or boa's and theyre relativley small... except for the corn snakes.. those are about 5 ft long maybe ... but this was back when i was younger.. i havent been around a snake for a while now... and so were at a friends house and instead of an iguana in the glass aquarium thing, there was 3 snakes... so my dad is like putting them on me like" look hold them isnt awesome or something like that in spanish" hes just putting them on me while he held another, and at one point i had the boa on the left arm wrapped around not tight just chilling, then i had this long green one with like a loong neck above my shouldersand it looked friendly and green didnt inspire no fear looked like organic or something just really nice, and then there was one on my right arm... and that one looked mean, it was black and shiny and it was a viper, i looked at y dad was like i def dont wanna touch that one , it doesnt look nice like no keep it away, then he says "its fine dont worry" he puts it on my right arm and then the fear started gorwing from within i felt as if the snake sensed it and it got into alert mode or soemthing and was about ready to strike... i kinda sensed that coming so i pulled my head away and kinda blocked his face with my fist, and it punctured my knuckles like my pinky and the one next to it... it felt like when u get an injection or something, felt deep ... all i did was like relax myself.... then i woke up... to move the car. i never paid too much attention to dreams but this one was just wierd and i actually remembered it... anything? i tried to be as detailed as possible.im 19 by the way, the dream was kind of in the timeline when i was like 8 or 9 something around that age... more

Resolved Question: Should I separate from my girlfriend?

My girlfriend and I have been together for almost 2 years and I love her so much. I'm 23 and she's 25. We've had tough times in our relationship; at the beginning of 2009 I got laid off and in the same day got into a Car crash that totaled my car, and then finding out my Insurance was cancelled eventually landed me with having to do my first Bankruptcy. That was tough enough last year, but luckily for me my Bankruptcy case went smooth and by Feb. 2010 my accounts were discharged. Unfortunately I got into another car crash in Dec. 2009(This one my fault) slipping in the rain and slamming a car from behind. My girlfriend was great support and still wanted to be with me. Why I'm having thoughts of breaking up with her? She has not worked since 2008 and I've had pay for all her expenses for school, traffic tickets, and a bunch of other things. Last week I had to pay over $500 to get her Checking account back in positive and pay off another Checking account that's been negative since Wamu was in business. I guess I'm starting to get to my limit of having to pay for everything for her....The job I have now is losing hours for me and I'm now working 20 hours a week instead of the 35-40 hours I was working...So work is not doing good and I'm looking...But my girlfriend for the love of god will not look for a job. Her brother passed away in Feb. and since that I know she's been hurt by this, but she's not moving on to other things. She didn't want to look for a job even before her brother passed. She's graduated from her Costmetology program in March yet since then she's only just stayed at the house and just been chilling. We live together and have for about a year. I come home and bring her flowers, I bring home some dinner, we have a great sex life, and I kiss her at least 50 times a day (Yes, I'm a guy that likes to kiss). Everytime I come home I make her smile wrap my arms around her telling her 'I love her.' I really mean it when I tell her. Unfortunately, when I talk to her about this she doesnt' know why she doesn't want to try anymore. She's just depressed and thinks she's worth nothing. And she's thought like this for about a year now, but no matter how happy I make her, she's never happy enough to want to try anything at life. I've just worked through it and keep looking to just make her happy, but for weeks she's been telling me she's going to get a job. There is days I come home and I'm so upset how my job is going and how I'm not able to save any money for us because once I do, she either needs it for something or something happens with my car and I end up using it. My ultimate dream is to move out with my girlfriend and she says she wants that too. But with her not even trying to apply to jobs at all, she's not showing me she wants a life with me. I feel like at this point that maybe a separation is what we both need. I just feel like I've spent a year trying to motivate her and give her some drive, but if I'm not able to then I don't know what would. When I first met her she had this drive to do good things and wanted to work. But I think because I've always been so generous with my money with her that I think she's fallen in a really bad lazy state that she doesn't want to get out of. I'm a nice guy and honestly my girlfriend is really the first girlfriend I've really had. I love her to death, but I don't know what else to do. I don't want to break up with her, but I just feel like a separation might set her mind straight. The other thing I'm worried about is the fact that she's going to think I'm breaking up with her because of a girl. One thing that has always bothered me about our relationship is that she always thinks I'm going to leave her for another girl. And she gets jealous when I talk to other girls like her friends at School or my friends or cousins friends. Listen, I'm very far from a ladies man. I'm pretty handsome and good looking, but REALLY, I've never thought I was handsome or goodlooking till I met my girlfriend. She gave me confidence about my looks and thinks I'm hot. I was overweight in high school and hate those years of my life. I lost my freakin virginity when I was 21 and never even went to my High School prom. I'm just a really good guy. I've seen my own Father, brother, cousins, and uncles do bad shit to girls and cheat on them and all thats made me think is how I'm not going to be that kind of guy at all. I have a love for my girlfriend that I feel that can last a lifetime, but I just see no effort from her and I'm the one that has to take on life's risks while she waits for me to come home. Do you think if I separate from her that she'll realize what she's losing or am I just screwed? I just don't know what to do. more

Voting Question: ='( what's going on, i'm so confused, my bf left?

my boyfriend of over a year broke up with me. we were so in love and he claims he still lves me but he doesn't want to be with me. or anyone. he wants to be free. but he says it's not to be wild and free. just free... but i never tied him down, except expecting the same commitment he expected from me, and i ask him to not do things that are bad for his health like smoke, so i just took care of him. he was the same way to me.. then we started havin this unexplainable tension between us from out of nowhere, we couldn't figure out what the problem was. we still haven't.. and then the past couple months have just been awful, when i look at him he don't have that 'i love you' in his eyes... and then he said he wanted to go on pause til he could become stronger as a man and us get some things straitened out and then he started ignoring me and barely ever answering me. and then he broke up with me for good. he claims i was depressing him and stressing him out.. cuz i get upset when he ain't there for me. so idk what to think...i know i got really wrapped up in my pain and confusion so much i did get kinda selfish. but see it seemed he didn't make any effort for me. i mean it took him a year to come see me and when he did it was cuz i said i'll pay for the gas for you (cuz he lives a couple hours away) but my freind lives near him and sai it takes like 30bucks to get to me in her car, and i'd gave him 100 so it's lke i paid everything for that one day... we got a room and..yeah.. so by then i didn't see quite as much love , i had been feelin like he didn't love me and he said he does and he doesn't know why i don't realize it and i know i'm being confusing, i'm just so confused and heart-broken.. i don't know what to do...i wnat him and only him forever and ever and i want him to want me and only me forever and ever. ... i want him to be happy. i want him to make me happy, he makes me happy, but this junk between us is ruining us and i dunno what it iseven when we were together he would fall asleep or forget his phone a couple times, he fell asleep alot at night, wich i understand at night, but it's like he can manage to go see his guy friends and do whatever his grandmother (whom he lives with) wants but he wasn't there for me.... i dont mean it selfish i just have needs too..also he was upset that i started gettin hi alot but that was after all the junk started.. that junk is actually kinda why i started...cuz he wasn't there. he usto be... what i do't get is he ouldn't right out tell me he was breakin up. i found out from his friend that he was 'over me' and then he told me he was just TRYIING to get over me but he loves me and always will.. so idk if i just need to fix myself or if he's bad for me or what.. more

Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming 'do over!' 'Race issue' ment arguing about who ran the fastest. Money issues were handled by whoever was banker in 'Monopoly'. It wasn't odd to have two or three 'best' friends. Being old referred to anyone over 20. A chance to skate as a couple at the local roller rink was like winning the lottery.

Resolved Question: Part 2 of my story- really short! Be harsh Again! Thanks so much!?

The next morning I couldn’t look at anyone. I ran out of the house and didn’t stop until I was at school. I used any distraction from my home life, school was a paradise comparatively. I was too scared to look any one in the eyes, I bowed my head and didn’t speak, and before I knew it, I heard the last bell of the day. All of the other kids were so excited for the weekend, smiling and running towards the doors to see their friends. Me on the other hand, I felt like crying. I wanted to stay at school forever; I never wanted to go home again. Sadly, I had no where to go. I knew none of my family; my father never let me or my sister meet any of them. I couldn’t tell anyone about my situation, because he threatened to kill us, and there was no doubt in my mind he would. I started walking up the familiar road towards home. I took as long as I possibly could, but soon I was standing in our front yard. I went inside to see my father sitting at the table. “Hey honey, how are you?” He said as he looked up. I grabbed my waist and pulled me into his lap. “I missed you today. You left the house so fast I didn’t have a chance to say goodbye.” He said, still with his arm wrapped around my waist. “I’m sorry Daddy. I promise it won’t happen again.” He smiled, but it faded as soon as my mother walked in the house. He stood up and I fell towards the floor. “What the hell were you doing with her?” She screamed. My father walked across the kitchen and slapped her hard in the face. “Don’t dare talk to me like that!” He yelled. My mother tried to hit him back, but he just grabbed her and threw her to the floor. He jumped on her and began hitting her. I ran over to try to help her, but my father pushed me back again. “Lillian! Get the hell out of here! Go to my bedroom!” I did as I was told this time. I walked across the kitchen and into his bedroom. I closed the door and sat on his bed, but something caught my eye. I got an envelope off of his nightstand; it was signed from his mother, my grandmother. It had her address and everything on it; if I ever had a chance to get away, it was now! I grabbed my father’s wallet from his dresser and some of my mom’s clothes and ran towards the window. I opened it and threw all of the clothes out. I started to climb threw it when my father opened the door. “Lillian! Get your *** back in this house!” I threw myself out of the window, grabbed the clothes, and ran across the yard. I was a couple houses down when I saw our car coming full speed at me. My father was driving and I could see him yelling for me to come back. He got closer and closer, speeding up as he came; I jumped of the side of the road and slide down a ditch, I got a few scratches and scrapes, but I knew I had to keep going. I heard the car door slam and my father get out. “Lillian! Get back here right now! If I catch you I am going to ******* kill you!” I knew he was telling the truth, and even if he didn’t catch me I knew he would make my mother and sister pay. I ran into the woods, I went as fast as I could go, but my father was faster than I was. I dashed behind a tree, looking for anything to hide me. I heard his footsteps stop, and then I heard him start laughing. “I want to see you try to live without me! You’ll die out here! I’ll just go home and replace you with your sister! I hope you do die, you were never but my sex toy and I have another one. Good luck!” I heard his laughter grow quieter and quieter. I started crying for my sister, I knew what she was about to go through. I had to get to my grandmother’s house as soon as I could, she could help me save my sister and mother. For now, I had to just keep walking. I had to keep telling myself everything would be wonderful someday. ______________________________________… Also, this story is completely fictional, IT NEVER HAPPENED TO ME!!

Resolved Question: Out of control child?

this is a long so I'll try to keep it as concise as possible. When I met my current wife she had a 2 year old daughter Amy, from a bf who ran the second he found out she was pregnant, we married and later had 2 more children of our own. I raised Amy as my own, I have given her everything i have givem my own biological children, when she was 8 her father came back into the picture and insisted on being in her life, at first she was devastated to know I wasn't her biological father, and I expected some behavioral changes, and boy was I right. But it's been 5 years now and she is out of control, mostly because of my wife and her ex bf, I'm not allowed to tell her off, because I'm not her real father, she has started to smoke, as her father does, she wears inappropriate clothes and too much make up, at our house she has a curfew and a bed time, the weeks she stays with him, she sometimes comes home at 11 pm, she is 13!! She has no bedtime and stays up all night if she likes, my wife is on her side, and I am worried about the younger children, they have started to talk back to me and my own child said maybe I wasn't her real father as well. When i found a used condom wrapped while emptying Amy's waste paper basket from her room, I confronted her, she told me if i didn't get off of her case all she had to do was tell the guidance counselor at school I was molesting her!! I pay for her private school, all her extra curriculum activities, I pay money each month into her college fund, I give her her allowance, she expects me to buy her a car when she's 16, her real father doesn't contribute at all to anything except her delinquency! And my wife says I'm treating her different, that it's my fault that I'm just jealous that her real father is back in the picture, to be honest if it wasn't for my two younger girls, aged, 10 and 8 I would leave, that's how fed up I am. What can I do?! more

Resolved Question: There's a friend I really like...?

Here's the whole story: I have a friend who, until recently, was in a relationship with someone. He broke up with her because she wasn't spending enough time with him and was instead studying for her finals. Needless to say, she was devastated and struggled through the rest of her exams. I like this girl as a friend, but I would really like to take the relationship further. The thing is, there are many things I'm not sure about, a great many things. First off, probably the biggest concern that I have with regards to this potential relationship is a third guy (myself being the second). This guy is also her friend, he's two years older (which causes more problems for me than what would seem at first), he's far more intelligent than myself (he's double majoring in bio and math), and he works with her in the lab. How to begin elaborating, this guy seems to really like her too, but I feel that my judgment is poor due to emotions, but I can't help feeling that he is, at the very least, as attracted to her as I am. I really gets me upset when I see him doing, I my possibly clouded opinion, a better job at comforting her during these times that are difficult for her. It especially bothers me when I see him with his arms wrapped around her and she's not the least bit bothered. Now to elaborate on the problems with him being two years older than me. I would think that most people would not consider this to be that big of a problem, but when you're in university, two years makes for a lot of information and experience. In fact, today she commented that he wise from a comment he made to sum up the situation she was in. To further add to the problems, he has already taken 90% of all the course that she has taken, making him the obvious choice for a study partner, and though I was usually around, it wasn't long before he showed up with some kind of small gift, be it chocolate or coffee. His two years experience also gives him a better advantage in the working environment. Being an only child, I feel that I live in a very protected environment, and I have not yet had a regular job (I am adult and I will admit to being more than old enough to have a proper job). He on the other hand, has had two more years to find a job that he both enjoys working and enjoys getting paid to do. Which leads me to the next point, he due to this job, he has a car, and I do not. Needless to say the problem there. She also spends a lot more time with him than she does with me and she seems to favor him over not just myself, but other friends she has. He also has season tickets for the local hockey team. She's been with him to see them quite a few times now, and after one such time, she even went back to his place (though I can assure that nothing happen, his family was home then, and I know this because latter that night they drove me home from a party on they're way to drop her off because my parent did not want to drive me home late at night). If I had to sum up that previous mass of words, it would be through comparison. Here's how I see myself compared to him. We are both friends with her. We both have a good sense of humor. We both care for her. He is smarter than I am. He has more experience than I do. He has a job, I don't. He has a car I don't. She talks to both of us about her break up. She seems to carry his advice better than mine. He's two years older than me. He also has the means to get together with her through hockey game tickets, whereas I do not. The only two real advantages that I might possibly have is that I live closer to her than he does, and he graduates this year and might, I unfortunately emphasize might, go somewhere else for further education. Now that I'm done the very lengthy explanation of my situation, here's my question: do I even stand a chance at an intimate relationship with this girl? I feel very outclassed and I don't think it's fair. I know how good of a person I am but it seems that it's still not enough. So that leads me to my next question: what can I do to improve my standings, assuming I have a chance? Assuming I do have a chance, how do I go about moving towards a closer relationship? One last question, do you think that this is the longest description ever, cause it took me a long time to write lol. Any insight into any part of my massive query would be extremely appreciated. more

Voting Question: What can I do after messing up so terribly?

I and my family just moved into a new apartment a couple months ago. I’ve got known to a couple people who live around here. So far I’ve got along great with every body and the family loves it here. But my oldest son who is mute, Cyrus has not been doing too well. Cyrus is 16, besides being a big prankster; he has always been a good kid until we moved. At first I got a couple call or comments on how he pulled off some pranks which was never anything serious and pretty much the normal thing he’d do. I or my husband would have a talk with him or even ground him over it. There’s this old lady who eventually called me to tell me that Cyrus saran wrapped someone car doors shut. When I confront him about it, he doesn’t exactly deny it, he tries to say it was a harmless prank. But over time this lady started to report of what Cyrus have done and soon few neighbors started to complain about Cyrus. Despite of hearing things that really made me wondering if Cyrus actually does some of those things, I believed them. It got so bad that Cyrus was pretty much grounded every other week or so. One day one of the tenants came to me all angry and says Cyrus hit his sliding door with slingshot. That was when I and my husband decided Cyrus wouldn’t go to state wrestling tournament and made him work for the man until he paid off the damage. A couple weeks ago, I got a call from the manager because Cyrus broke the wall that surrounded the apartment. This time Cyrus admit he did it but the wall was weak and old and that he have been climbing over the wall to avoid walking through the apartment complex. So we grounded him again and made him got a part time job to pay for the damage done to the wall. Yesterday I got a call from this lady saying that Cyrus and a friend set a pigeon on fire. That was when I start to really question everything. Cyrus is a big animal’s lover and would never ever go ahead with such thing beside that he was working at the time. I even called his boss to make sure he was there. So today I went to talk to the man that had his sliding door broke. I found out that he didn’t even saw the whole thing but heard it from the lady. Also I talked to two other neighbors. One of them says that they have seen other boy did what the lady accused Cyrus of doing, but it wasn’t Cyrus for sure. That’s when I feel so sick. I couldn’t believe that this lady would do such thing. This lady is an incredible nice lady and often invites me over for tea or pie. We talk a lot on regular base. So I had a very hard time to believe she’d do this. So now I’m starting to think that Cyrus is innocent in almost everything since I heard so many bad things that I almost couldn’t believe it. But the problem is Cyrus pretty much refuse to talk to anyone any more, lock himself in the room all of the time, and says he doesn’t care any more since we’ll never believe him. Now I’m really afraid that I have been grounding him and taking things away from him when he wasn’t responsible for majority of things that he got in trouble for. I don’t know what to do now and feel so awful about everything. more

Resolved Question: Should I sue my deceased dogs breeder?

On 4/1/10, my husband and I purchased a 7 week old basset hound puppy from a breeder. We took her home and she was fine all that afternoon and evening and all day the next day(4/2/10). At 8 pm, my son came in and told me the puppy had peed, I went with paper towel in hand to clean it up, but instead of pee, the dog was laying ina puddle of her own drool, unconscious and unresponsive. I picked her up wrapped her in a towel and tried to rub her to get her to wake up. She didn't. I knew at that moment that something was wrong. My husband started calling vets to try to get someone to see her so late on a friday night, We called everyone in our town but we kept getting voice mails on the emergency lines. We started looking for vets in nearby cities and we finally found on in a town an hour away that could see her. During the search for a vet, my puppy started having seizures about every 5 mins, and on the car ride to the vet she started seizing and never stopped. We got her to the vet in the next city, they gave her some meds to try to get the seizing to stop but to no avail. They did a gob of testing and found that my puppy had a condition called proto-systemic shunt. From what I understand this starts in the womb, it means the the valve that lets the liver release the waste it has filtered is faulty, so the body slowly poisons itself with its own waste (ammonia). The 2nd day we had the pup just happened to be the day her little body couldn't take it anymore. So, the vet told us that the only cure was to take her to a specialist at Purdue( and the surgery cost $4000), which is 3 hours from our home, and the odds of her making it clear to Purdue were slim to none. The vet said under normal circumstances that she would recrecommend we return the dog to the breeder, but it was now 1 am, and the ride to the breeder was at least an hour, and odds are the pup would not have lived to get there either, so, the vet said the humane thing to due was to put the puppy to sleep. So we did. I have emailed, called and texted the breeder numerous times and they are not returning any of it. We had the dog for 30 hours and that was it. The vet said any reputable breeder would at least return the money paid for the pup and in some cases they offer to pay vet bills. Im not asking for the vet bill money, I just want the money back for the pup. Do you think we should sue them? Do we even have a case?Thanks to all who answered. We live on the Indiana/State line (on the Indiana Side) and we purchased this animal in Ohio. There is a law in Ohio that no one is to sell a pup under 8 weeks of age. I am giving them till Tuesday to respond, and then Im going to talk to The Humane Socitey in the City I purchased the dog. Thank you for your sympathies, my son is still a mess over it, he is only 3 and cant understand why his new puppy is gone. more

Voting Question: I fell for my friend and I need help to get over these feelings?

I started to have feelings for my friend just over a year and they have just been getting wrost. i love the friendship that we have, but i believe that if these feelings dont end then our friendship will. When first started having these sexually feelings for him we were always together. Going some where or just sitting at my house on the sofa togther. He would wrap is arms around me during the movie or cook me somthing to eat, a real dinner. If we went out he would pay for dinner and the movie and i would return the next time we went out. This went on for a while then he keep saying that he had no money and this and that, What happen was i found out that he had a girlfriend the whole time. I was like how the hell can you have a girlfriend that you never see. then it hit me, i was letting him use my car to go see his family, or what i thought was his family,, After i went off and called him lier and that I had problems even trusting him and that i didnt really know if i wanted to share the same bed with him anymore things changed. Now the same thing is happening and I just dont want to put my self in this pain anymore. Its not right to myself to be like his "wife" that doesnt get anything out of the relationship besides the bad shit. He knows how i feel and everything. I just have a problem with accepting that hes not in to me when i get a kiss everytime that i get up or when i meet up with him for lunch or when he comes home from work. I mean whats with that? We have had talks about what his family would do if he was gay and what not, and "if" those are the reasons, i dont fully beleive them anymore, his family talks about me as their sister in law and what not. How can i get over these feelings and save the friendship that i have with him? more

Resolved Question: Does this senior like me, or is he playing games with me?

I met a senior at my college (i'm a freshman) about two weeks ago at a frat party (where he was president last year). We kissed that night. On spring break two weeks ago, we were both in Baton Rouge visiting family. He asked me to a baseball game Sunday and we went together. He picked me up in his Mercedes, paid for my ticket and meal, and called to make sure I got home safely. Before he dropped me off at my car, he said he had a great time and asked how much longer I was gonna be in town. He said he would call me to go to the French Quarter the next day. But he didn't text me until about 2 am the next morning. On Friday afternoon, he texted me and said "I wanted to ask you to a baseball game again and then party afterwards, but then I saw you were gone : (" So then he texted me Sunday and Monday around 12 at night and asked me to come over and drink with his frat brothers. But I had class the next day, so I said no and said I could Tuesday. He didn't text me Tuesday. I saw him at a frat party on Thursday night and he barely talked to me so I blew him off. Well around 12 that night, he texted me and asked where I went. I said I was at another frat house. He asked me to come back and hang out with him. I sat on his lap and we listened to music on his computer and talked. He wrapped his arms around me and held my hands. Then he said he had to go to bed. We literally spent like 5 min looking into eachother's eyes and trying to say goodbye. We finally kissed and left. Texting late at night is kinda sketch, but he never tries anything sexual with me and is always very sweet. Does he like me or is he just playing games? more
