    Ok Good Prayers and Vibes People

    Ugh, I took that test a few years ago. I did fine but studying for it was horrible. Please send a big congrats and good luck from a fellow BYCer.

    Needing financial help! Wanting to move out.

    You should head to the bank and get pre-approved for a loan, not for the purposes of getting the actual loan, but it will let you know how much "house" you can afford given your expenses and earnings as well as take into account how much the bank would loan you should you decide to buy anything...

    Asking for some help with my Psych homework, please read

    I'm not sure if you watch Dexter on Showtime, but one character that I can think of is Dexter's stepdaughter, Astor. Even just last season (#3, in 2008), she's a very compliant, mild-mannered girl, but this past season it's noticeable that she's entering puberty-she's developed an interest in...

    Cremation or Burial?

    Quote: I think I know which article you're referring to. If I'm right, it was only for his 3 day wake, and he was embalmed through a special process: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26290833/ But yes, either way, a little morbid for my taste...

    Vet cost rant

    Quote: It could also be the difference in inactive ingredients. Kinda like how some people respond better to name brand medication vs. generic (or vice versa). I know the cheap flea treatments sometimes have organophosphate insecticides (OPs), or at least used to,which my poor dog had an...

    Vet cost rant

    Quote: Still a viable topic! Maybe now even more so. I agree. Better to add to an existing thread than to start another one, IMO.

    Vet cost rant

    I haven't read all the posts here, but I just wanted to add my $.02. I absolutely agree that brand name products for pets and vet services are high, so it's tempting to try supermarket brand treatments such as dewormers and flea treatments but I want to warn against it. Two years ago, we decided...

    Thinking about letting my house go *update post 39*

    Like another poster suggested, I would talk to a trusted, experienced real estate agent (ask around to see if your friends or family can recommend someone) and talk to them about your options. You never know, they might have some good, viable ideas. I can only imagine the stress that this is...

    A Small Request

    Yesterday I learned that a friend died in a tragic car accident as she was driving home from a camping trip. Apparently, she was negotiating a blind curve, saw a stopped car ahead that was waiting to turn left, and braked so hard that they locked. As a result, her Civic fishtailed into the...

    My favorite BR hasn't laid in 3 days-internal laying?

    My most beloved 14 month old Barred Rock hasn't laid an egg for 3 days. This is pretty aberrant for her; she's laid an egg everyday since 20 weeks. I saw her in the nest box this morning for about 1.5 hours yet she didn't produce anything, but it doesn't look like she may be internally...

    do you use a reel lawn mower?

    We first bought the Scotts 20" Push Reel mower and we hated it. It didn't cut the grass very well, especially if it's more than 6 inches (and ours was at times). It would leave patches of uncut grass, even after going over it a few times. Also, since the wheels would mat the grass, it makes it...

    What % do you tip when you eat out??

    We always tip 15% minimum, before tax. For exceptional service, which we've encountered a few times, we'd leave 25%-30%. Service is one thing, but if the food doesn't taste up to par or it gets to the table cold, then the server shouldn't have to bear the blame. I know in some establishments the...
