    question regarding funerals...

    I don't know. I would think as long as you wouldn't be upsetting any of the family members you should go. When my uncle passed away probably 6-8 years ago all 3 of his ex wives came and were welcomed as well as his current wife. His current wife had been with him for almost 20 years but...

    Help training a Beagle please

    I won't go too far into the logistics of how we got this dog but let's just say that he is owned by a young 22 year old man that really can't even take care of himself. The young man was kicked out of his home within hours, literally hours, of his room mate dying. He had just spent 3 days in...

    lice thread?

    I don't know what thread you are referring to but what to give you this advice. Do not waste money on shampoos and combs. Go buy a .50 bottle of rubbing alcohol. Flip the head over, pouring the alcohol from ear to ear along the hairline. Then flip head backwards, again pour alcohol along...

    Long story short, we are long term babysitting a Beagle. This dog is only 4 months old and has not been housed trained yet. We were also told that this dog was crated at night, ummm...I don't think so. We tried that and didn't get far as we needed some sleep so that we could go to work...

    Another spinoff thread...

    So I didn't read all of the spanking thread. And now there is a thread about do your parents know the grudges you hold against them. That one got me thinking. My mother and I are very close. I used to often call her for advice on my kids. At one time I had 4 teenagers in my house, my two...

    Does this sound right????? (school related)

    Hopefully, whoever you talked to misunderstood you in some way. To have to go before the board to see if you can attend just doesn't make sense. As for the over crowding, that seems to be happening in a lot of places. Just stayed involved. Volunteer at the school when you can. Talk to...
