I know this is really really off topic and I m sure there will be a few
rants about it,  but I am looking to rehome my cat.  We live in Leicester. I
have already contacted the RSPCA and they have said that they cannot take
her in until October. Anyone got any ideas? Anyone want her? ...

My 3.5 year old daughter has been having nosebleeds in her sleep - 3 of
them in the last week.
My husband had TONS of nosebleeds, too, starting at around that age, so
our assumption is that she's inherited his tendency, and if that's the

I think some people on this ng have kids with this problem.  I wonder if DS
does.  I figured he was just going through a phase last year.  Is it still a
phase or should I be looking for help?  I'm sure my parenting abilities
could use some work, but DD is so much easier than DS.  ...

I strive to have good spelling, grammar and mechanics in these studies.  
But I do make mistakes from time to time so please be so kind and report
what you find to me.  Thank you!  
I like to start some of my bible messages with something kinda funny so

If my 3 year old goes poopie without pee pee, is it still considered
going a "#2" or would it be a "#1"?
(could this possibly be a "#3"... is there even such a thing?)

I am the residential parent of a beautiful little girl who is 3 ¾
years old and quite social. She was born in December, so she will not
be attending kindergarten for two years. Currently, she is staying home
during the school days, with a babysitter, while her three other

Yes, this is from that fine peer-reviewed journal, Slate.  And, yes,
"Arthur Allen is writing a history of vaccination" is hardly academic
or professional credentials.  I have no idea if he has any such
credentials.  Still, I thought it was an interesting read and if there

Hello,
I am engaged to someone that had two children in his previous marriage.
And currently he is paying a hefty amount of child support to his ex-wife
(who is currently remarried). The visitation is an issue, but we are

I recently bought a toy on eBay that totally went out of my expectation.
When I bought the toy, I thought it was probably going to be lame, but I
was actually recommeded by a friend to buy the toy ride-on being it
"extracts children from television." As much of a TV fan as I am, ...

In Oregon, how do you go about establishing legal guardianship?  Bio mom is
dead.  Step mom wants to have legal authority if needed.
We are planning a trip to Mexico in Spring, trying to get 15 year old's
passport and it gives a spot for mother or legal guardian to sign.

Been divorced for about 6 years. The usual stuff has happened, you know the
drill.
Anyhow, I paid over 900 a month in CS for a number of years while my x went
to school. I never complained, well, to her anyway! Anyhow, she gets a job

Despite getting a bit pounded the first round, I'm going to try another
topic and see if it might have a different outcome.
I interviewed for a job this week and had to negotiate my worth.  Talk
about being vulnerable with every old issue of self worth arising!

My daughter starts Mother's Day Out two mornings a week next week (while I
teach a class at the university). She's 8 1/2 months, and really, really
wants to feed herself-which means that it is much easier for her to have
finger foods than spoon foods, and most commercial foods are ...
