    Problems with my dad

    Yes, i agree. He'll need to see a neurologist for sure.

    Problems with my dad

    No. I wouldn't say so. He's not harmful to himself or anyone around him. Not intentionally anyway. I should say, that he no longer has a temper like he used to. We've been going on hikes with him the past 2 weeks. He's mostly pleasant, but sometimes the things he says are weird. He's a...

    Problems with my dad

    Well, we started off wanting to push this whole thing as far from us as possible, but we've decided we just couldn't live with ourselves if something were to happen to him. That's a terrible thing you lived with and I hope to God it doesn't get to that point. Right now we're just trying to make...

    Problems with my dad

    Well, it was always hard to understand my father. He was a postman until he retired in 1997. He worked long hours and when he didn't he watched TV. He didn't get involved with his family for anything. He had a temper. On his good days he'd make jokes. The same jokes over and over again and...

    Problems with my dad

    In 1998 my father left my mother and moved from NY to CA. He slowly built a life for himself and met a girlfriend. I kept very little contact with him. We never had a good relationship and I was angry for years about him leaving. About a year ago he started telling us things that didn't seem...

    Got a free rabbit hutch

    Thank you for this advice! Yes, I thought I'd just go to the show to look. I would really like a rabbit for the fiber, but also as a pet.

    How about this???

    The salvage yard is about 250 feet from the house. There really isn't any negotiating on the price because it's a short sale.

    How about this???

    This is good to know. I did some research about the water quality. There was a gas leak 14 years ago from a gas station about 1/4 mile away. Traces of contamination was found in the well water in the neighborhood, but this is down hill from the house. I'm also thinking it's possible to...

    How about this???

    My horoscope today; You don't trust yourself today. Your eye is drawn to a new home, or to home-improvement projects that may actually be very good investments, but because you are uncertain you may miss an opportunity. This is one time when your impulses and intuition are on target - trust...

    How about this???

    Well, I'd like to grow organic veggies and fruit and that may very well be compromised by the salvage yard next door. Such a shame!

    How about this???

    It's such a shame because the house backs to miles and miles of nature preserve! And yes, it's super cheap in our neck of the woods. My house is on the market for $399,000. It's a 3 bedroom ranch on shy half acre and that's a reasonable price! You should see our taxes!

    How about this???

    What about it being next to a salvage yard? Do you think the ground water would be contaminated?

    How about this???

    There is a balcony above the den and it leaked causing part of the ceiling in that room to collapse and ruined the Pergo floor. Another part of the ceiling looks to be leaking I think because something happened to the gutters on that side of the house. The basement is also very damp and smells...

    How about this???

    Big house (bigger than necessary actually), needs work (lots of water damage), 4 acres, bordered by preserve land on three sides, salvage yard on fourth side, great price. Yay or Nay? http://www.mlsli.com/unidetailsredo_test.CFM?MLNum=2379798&typeprop=1&start=4&rpp=10

    Got a free rabbit hutch

    It's pouring rain here right now, but I'd say the wood house is 2'x2' and the outside cage part is 2' by 3'....ish.

    Got a free rabbit hutch

    :weee I was having such a bad day and then I saw it there on the side of the road only 4 houses down from mine! Couldn't say no! I'd love to get an angora because I spin. Don't know where to look for a breeder. Don't know if they're expensive or hard to care for. Don't know the first thing...

    At home births and midwives

    Homebirth with both of my children. Best experiences of my life! I recommend that if you are considering it to find a midwife you like. Know that she will evaluate you to make sure you are a good candidate for a homebirth. You have to be low risk, meaning of good health. She wouldn't want to...
