I am currently renting a room in a luxury custom built home. The homeowner lives on site and pretty much wants his home to stay immaculately clean so he can show it off to potential clients as he is still trying to build houses. The house has some very nice Brazilian Cherry hardwood floors throughout. I love the place and it fully accommodates all my needs except for one. That need/ want is to have my dog be able to be around me when I am inside and sleeping at night. Unfortunately for me, my dog is a 55 lb St. Bernard Border Collie mix so he tends to shed a good bit. I try to keep it under control as best as possible with regular washings and brushings using the Furminator but still the homeowner flips out every time he even sees just a few stray dog hairs inside and the idea of having a dog walking about on his hardwood floors… well you can imagine. Unfortunately this means that my once primarily inside dog has now become a full time outside dog and we live in steamy hot SC. Is there any kind of clothing for my dog that I can purchase to cover his body so his hairs wont be falling onto the floor and anything that can cover his paws so he can be able to come and live inside with me?
I do know better than to be clothing him when he’s outside. I was just trying to find an easy on off jacket of some sorts and shoes to put on him for when he came inside only. Shaving him is not an option as a few groomers have stated that if done his nice silky feeling and looking coat will never grow back looking as nice as its now. If done his hair will have a different texture and will lay differently.

hi i have a story i wanna tell when i was 16 years old my dad sent me to pakistan .he wanted to punish me because i didnt listen to him he wanted me to go to relegous studies and i didnt want to go so he got mad at me and sent me to a poor village in pakistan when i went there i was shocked little bit of food no showers it was a nightmare people over there treated me very bad so i begged my dad to bring me back to the usa but he wouldnt i was there with out my brothers or my mom i felt like going crazy when i was there i suffered ,deppresion you name it my mom used to cry every day and begg him to bring me back but he wouldnt now after three years im finally back in the usa but im not the same i feel anger and deppresion and i get sick a lot its all do because i of the village it took a toll on me now my dad wants me to go and help him in a family busness should i go or should i leave him?whats your opinion on my dad?

My boyfriend and I are 16 years old, and we’ve been dating since we were 14. We met and he asked me out freshman year and now we’re juniors. He’s my everything. I see him every day and the longest we have ever been apart consecutively is two days (largely due to my separation anxiety but that’s another story). Anyway. She controls everything he does. And I understand being a parent is one thing but she treats him as if he’s 6 as opposed to 16. I’ve read other Yahoo! answers and questions on the subject and a lot of them say leave him; that’s not an option. I’ve been through so much with him (manic depression, BPD, ADD, social/separation anxiety, a miscarriage, a few family vacations, school) and we’re extremely close-knit and happy together. The only issue I have are his parents, the stupid female in particular. We liked each other at first but around 7 months when she found out about the miscarriage, she immediately took a disliking to me, and saying hurtful things like “Are you sure you want to be with someone like that?” We were each other’s first and only everything so it’s not like I’m a wh0r3. She just is very intensely jealous but it’s taking a toll on our relationship. He cannot stay up past 10:30 on weeknights, she forces him to play soccer even though he told her months in advance that he didn’t want to do it, and she blames everything on me. His growing up and that sort of bs. His uncle (her brother) clearly despises me and glares at me constantly. She’s told him things before like she was going to have my rights checked to see if my mother could force me to get the depo shot and has even gone as far as to contact my mother and try to dictate her decisions regarding my birth control. My mother hates that woman too. I laughed in her face when I told her I wasn’t getting the shot - my doctor told me no because the hormones are too much for my severe depression. I guess this is kind of scattered because there’s just so much to complain about but anyway, more

I like my best friend alot she means the world to me and I would take a bullet for her right now if I had to. But with that comes that I look at her in alot of sexual ways. and I don’t want too because she looks at me as literally her brother because we’ve been threw so much and I always stuck with her and her families never done that. but anyway when she gets boyfriends man the jealousy and hurt just literally kills me. Because I know there being able to get intimate and kiss her and cuddle with her and do everything that I can’t :(. We use to along time ago be kinda kinky and she’d “Tease” me and sometimes do things for me and not only that we were really close, because honestly she use to like me in a love type of way, and I know from more sources then one to back that up. Then at the height of it all at our closest I made a big mistake (not saying what) and it caused the whole “Tower” to come crashing down and we didn’t talk for a long time then she started coming back around and she told me she still loved me like I was her brother and that she would always be there for me and that she would never judge me over anything. so it continued on then she got a boyfriend that she loves dearly and it set me off it literally changed my whole mind like someone took a pair of wire cutters and cut the sanity wire and I just turned into a dickhead and no matter how hard I tried to change no matter how hard I prayed no matter how hard I did anything I couldn’t help it and it literally is just kicking my butt and tearing me apart. like almost an obsession. and its just destroying our friendship.I want to so hard lose these feelings. and try to fix things and prove to her I am strong enough. because i think of when we first met and how much fun and how happy we were just being friends but then I did what everybody says not to do I guess I fell clean in love with her. How can I just turn around lose all that for her because its having a toll on me physically and mentally I’ve fell into almost a depression.

This is a question for the future. My girlfriend and I really want to honeymoon in Sandals St. Lucia in the “Millionaire Suites”. An all inclusive package with airfare is close to $13,000 though. When we get married in two years, I’ll be a new college graduate out of school for a few months. I have the money. So, should we take our dream honeymoon while we have the chance? We also live with her parents to save money for our future home. We live in a seperate part of the house and do not pay bills, rent, etc at her parent’s request. They also are paying for our wedding. I know you guys are going to say “save it and put it towards a down payment on a house”, but we were planning on doing that anyway for two or three years. With two full time graduate salaries that will be $100,000 in savings if not more! Should we take this opportunity to live in complete luxury for only a week of our lives or take out $6,500 for a honeymoon and put the other $6,500 towards something more future oriented?

So im a 14 year old boy. I am in 10th grade. ever since i was born my right eye has been misaligned with my left eye. It wasn’t so bad in kindergarten through 4th grade but i guess as people get older they start being more judge mental. People started telling me that my eyes looked funny in 5th grade. And now some people even use it as a excuse to make fun of me and to make them selves look better. i spend many days depressed, i hate myself sometimes. I especially hate a boy in my 5th period who humiliated me in front of the whole class by calling me a “cross-eyed queer” because i was standing behind a boy. And to all you guys who tell me to be thankful that i was only born with a lazy eye please dont. people with major deformities earn an automatic respect but people like me with “a googly eye” get laughed at. this is beggining to take a heavy phsycological toll on my life. i am depressed. my mom considered getting me surgery when i was 3 years old but my doctor said it was too risky and if they mess up i will have to get a glass eye for the rest of my life. so my dad declined the reccomendation. I hate having a lazy eye! even though only one of them has a problem it looks like they are both crossed. It’s gotten to me so bad that i can’t look at people in the face when i say hi. When i meet new people i squint so hopefully they won’t notice it. My dad tells me not to be so shy and to talk to people more but i guess he dosent know what it feels like to have eyes that arent straight. I fear that i will never have a girlfreind and never get married and will get jobs turned down because of my condition. My dream of joining the Marines like my older brother is even ruined because of my eye. So what do you guys think? should i look into the surgery or keep my eye the way it is. the optometrist says the surgery had a 60% chance of failure,that was back in 2004 …what do you guys think i should do?

Im 18 and until i was 5 when my parents divorced I was such a daddys girl and he was the best most doting dad! He left for another woman who already had two kids a similar age to me, when he went he took a bunch of my belongings while i was out and gave them to the other kids as gifts.

He’d promise my Mum he’d pick me up to see me or take me to his house every other weekend but either didn’t show up or parked in the drive and went to see his friend next door instead, and when i knocked on the door to see him he’d shout to me to wait and he’d be around soon, so i’d sit on the windowsill waiting and watch him just drive off. The rare times he did arrive he’d be so nice to me in the car journey to his (like 40mins drive) and as soon as we got there i’d be sent upstairs or in the garden with the other kids to play, we weren’t allowed to be in the way of him and his new partner.

So as I grew up this took it’s toll on my self esteem A LOT and i’ve had trouble with mental health to this day. Now he’s in a different relationship, and when I was 14 his new girlfriend was always inviting me over and we got on really well and i thought it would all look up but it hasn’t really. He has a very good job, lives in a 7 bedroomed house in one of the best estates of the country and never paid a penny for me until like a year ago because he was threatened to go to prison for it by the CSA.

When I was 8 I was in hospital really poorly and when my Mum phoned him crying and asking him to come visit he said he ‘had better things to do.’

He never invites me over and when I ask he’ll ignore me or say he’s got too much work to do but it’s not like im still a child and need entertaining i just want to see him! Twice in my life he’s told me how much he ‘loves me’ and that im his baby girl and his number one in life blah di blah but he has been drunk when he says it. He knows how I feel about it all i’ve told him a million times. I know I’m 18 and i dont NEED his love or anything but i think it’s just human instinct to long for him, I CAN’T STOP IT! I hate it! A few months ago I decided to just block him from my life, but its so hard. He text me this week saying he hopes im ok and im such a sucker i text him back but just saying I am. I really really want him just out of my life to not exist so i dont feel like this but im close to my uncle (his brother) and my grandparents on his side who are constantly talking about him and if i go see them he shows up at theirs sometimes so there’s no escaping! Im so sorry about this rant but im sooooo frustrated! How do I move on when it’s sooo hard! I know he hates me, im not good enough for him, but thats his fault for making me this way! If he hates me SO much though why does he randomly text me after a couple of months? It’s like he does it on purpose to get at me or something GRRRR!

First off, this IS NOT a break from the relationship.
This summer was probably one of the roughest summers for me. Found out I have some ovarian cysts and will never be able to have children, found out that I have a kidney disease, my 5 best friends of 10 years all moved to different states/countries, my relationship with my parents pretty much dissolved, and my little brother (who is my best friend) moved away as well. This has all pretty much put me on edge this summer and I will admit to lashing out irrationally a couple times. This week my brother is officially moving to New York City to attend NYU. Him leaving is pretty much the last person of all my loved ones/friends to move this summer and it is truly taken a toll on me. This has been causing me to be irrational and angry all the time and I don’t want to take this out on my boyfriend. I love him so much it hurts and I don’t want to be an angry, irrational girlfriend. I have thought about just taking a week to myself to cool down so I can get rid of this anger and anxiety, but how do I approach him about this without making him feel bad? I want to be clear that it has NOTHING to do with him and I simply just want to get my head cleared so I can stop having bursts of anger. Please, I really need some advice before I do anymore damage to my relationship.

you’ve come to know that there is a cemetery just a few blocks away…. would that stop you from buying it ?? … remember, its the best house you have ever dreamed of… luxury terrace, huge garden..big driveway, two garages, 5 bedrooms.. fully furnished and extra storage attic.. its practically ”the dream home” you always wished for.. and couldnt ask more….and you have the money too. but…. but… would the fact that there’s a burial ground a few houses away stop you from purchasing it ?? .. im curious

firstly my whole entire family hates him, everything about him. his attitude, his exaggeration, and aggression. im 15 years old and i cant stand my father any longer he is so moody all the time and he has nothing to be moody for. we are all a healthy family we live very comfortably and get a lot of luxuries he is though still very carful with our money, we are happy children and my mum is lovley. i just wish my mum had a bit more strength to leave him, she always talks about leaving him but never actually does. my dad is always screaming and shouting even if its something like to turn off the oven. he doesnt appreciate how hard i work in school (especailly me as i struggle in school but try my best) theirs nothing ells more i can do other than try my best i revise and study so hard and it will only get me to the most just a pass. i worked hard this year on my GCSE’s really hard and all he can say is “i don’t think you did well in maths, you need to start studying for retakes” when firstly i worked exremley hard and my dad is saying “i dont think you did well” what kind of message is that. and i am in my summer holiday this is my only break ever and he is ruining it. my dad always wants to know my buisness and in detail, you would think it is because he cares but he just wants to dictate and embarrass me infront of my friends. one time i was sleeping at my friends house because it was her birthday and that night she was having a party but my dad for no reason whatsoever calls me i stupidly answer and he says come home now. FOR NO REASON. i want more freedom before i say bye to my friends and go off to college. he still treats me like a kid. i never miss behave NEVER. i clean my room and do chores even when not asked and my best is never good enough. he makes me feel like a failiure. my friends are scared of him as they are always interrogated and feel uncomftable. he ruins my socail life so much. i envy al my friends that have loveing supportive dads that can share jokes with. this is only that half of it but it would take me a long time to write it all down. and my poor easy going loving mum gives me everythhing a child needs ; shelter, nutrition, love, care, and laughter. i wish my dad was like that, my dad is way too overprotective but thats not even because he wants to protect me just dictate my actions.
