    Everything is starting to hurt

    I think it's probably a really good idea for you to go see a doctor. That being said, "a protien shake in the morning, lean pocket ultras for lunch, and the same for dinner" is not a balanced diet. What about fruits and vegetables? What about whole grains? What about essential amino acids? It...

    Saved a life.. gained a new employee and 15+ year comitment

    Not true. They just need to meet a certain weight requirement (4 lbs I think it is). Our last kitten was spayed at <3 months old. One of our others was spayed at about 3 months. But yeah definite :thumbsup: to the OP in taking in a poor street kitty.

    Upper Respiratory Infection in new kitten.

    Because you guys caught your kittens infection early, she should be fine. Like everyone has said, it is a very common illness in shelter kittens. One of our cats was at the tail end of medication for her URI when we got her and we finished out her meds on her. We were told she had had another...

    Can someone recommend some good classical music?

    Holst-The Planets (thirded - you gotta check this one out) Brahm's Requiem Bach, Chopin, Rachmoninoff, and Debussey are also all good.

    Doctor to Patient: "You're FAT" ..... Patient gets doctor in trouble with state medical board!?!

    Text I don't think it's a big deal that he told her she was obese and the serious health problems she would have because of it. That's his job - to help her to treat and prevent health problems. The big deal is that he's basically saying "you're going to die unloved and alone". I don't think...

    Thinking about getting a memory foam topper for my bed.

    I got one of their memory foam toppers about a year ago. I think it was a 2" topper (with 4 lb density), but it's hard to remember. I really like it. My husband didn't (said it made him too warm), so I folded it over and I now basically have a 4" topper on my half of the bed. So, I'd say if you...

    bad battery? bad alternator? both?

    If you only took it for a quick drive after jumping it, even if your alternator is working properly it wouldnt have been able to fully recharge your battery (especially if it was totally drained). If you have a small short and leave it sitting for a long time, it would be enough to fully drain...

    I think im an insomniac

    Exercise as early in the day as you can (at least 4 hours before you go to bed). Don't eat within 2 hours of going to bed (and try not to eat a gigantic dinner). Use your bed only for sleeping (not for watching tv or chilling or whatever - you need to train your mind/body that bed=sleep)...

    YACT: Summertime starting woes

    Hmmmm. I would be surprised if it was a starter problem - it's only a year and a half old, it's not near the exhaust system, and a solenoid problem usually keeps the starter from working at all.

    YACT: Summertime starting woes

    It shouldn't be vapor lock (since the pump is near the tank and I can hear it pressurizing the lines before it starts), but next time it does it I'll confirm this by removing the gas cap (and seeing if that makes it start). I have no problem driving 45-60 mins. I haven't driven it much...
