What types of qualities were you looking for when you were seeking out a petsitter? When you met the person, which sorts of questions did you ask them? Did you let them stay in your house while they watched your pets, did your...

Valenas That is a really good question. I already work with animals and in my experience I have come to understand that some people do not realize that an animal does not have the same level of cognition and understanding that we do. It is in their nature to protect...

For those who are not familiar with this, this season starts on 1 June 2010 and runs through 30 November 2010. This year they are predicting an above average hurricane season, perhaps one reminiscent of 2005's season. You can...

Valenas That sounds like us here. We have our generator (and a bit of spare gas), and quite a bit of extra canned food should something happen. We also have a good amount of pastas that we could heat outside on the grill if necessary. Within the past few years, we...

Guys, I am so disappointed with what I have come across with, in some parts of the world people slaughter dogs for the dinner table and it's a specialty in some eatery. Goodness I will never eat dog meat. My pet is a part of the...

Valenas While livestock and poultry are socially accepted here, it is socially accepted in other countries to eat dogs. As stated earlier, it is even part of some of these countries cultures. We consider dogs and cats pets here, but in other countries they are not of...

If you have not watched this season's finale of Private Practice, and you have not been keeping up with this season at all, please do not read any further. I think that out of the most recent episodes, this one was the best and...

Valenas I cried, too. Dell was an awesome character, though my friend did point out that his significance in the story had been dwindling for a long time. I really did think, too, that it would be Maya that died- whether by some sort of complication after the crash,...

I woke up extra early today to get in a shower and to try to style my hair like the hairdresser recommended I do. I drove the thirty minutes to the next city to my workplace where my coworker greeted me with, "What are you doing...

Valenas I understand how that feels, to be called upon and having to drop or cancel your arrangements. I do have a set schedule but all too often I am called in to cover shifts (better paycheck, at least!) and that can throw me off badly. To be honest, this is not the...

Hot temperature rising up so quickly, and it is around 80 degrees at least I think. At night, I thought it will be cool and I just don't need a fan or A/C to be on. But I was wrong, I definitely need them. Last night, while I was...

Valenas She probably meant around eighty degrees Fahrenheit, which is around twenty-seven degrees Celsius. There are quite a few American myLotters that use this system instead of the metric system.

Valenas They should not have waited until last minute to teach you parts of somebody's job. They should be working towards training you to handle that as you are improving and allowing you to progress. I am glad that they have given you the opportunity to learn this...

Valenas If you are seeking ways to help a person sober up, I have heard that drinking a lot of water (to rehydrate- helps with the hangover too, the next morning) and eating chips and salsa is a good choice. I have heard that it is a common thing to be served at some...

I cannot make it to the doctor just yet, so that is going to have to wait. My ear has become infected in addition to a recent sinus infection that I am currently getting over. I have not had this issue since I was very little, and...

Valenas I used to take prescription Claritin when I was younger. A perforated ear drum sounds like it would be painful. I do not have a hot water bottle or a heating pad, but perhaps I could put some water in a ziploc bag and heat it up. Thank you for your...

Valenas When I was really young, I had frequent infections as well. I do not remember much, other than that I had to have tubes put in my ears to help with the drainage. That, and the uncomfortable pressure that I am feeling now. I have never heard of the apple cider...

Valenas I took the sinus medicine four hours ago and I am repeating the dose again now, thank you for the information. Hopefully that will help me sleep a little better tonight. I was kept up until three in the morning last night due to the pain, pressure, and trying...

Valenas The reason I brought up the Ibuprofen is that I read somewhere that the infection causes the ear to swell, and that taking the Ibuprofen would reduce the swelling and allow fluid building up in the ear to drain. I do not know anything about ear infections...

Valenas For me, it gives me a small boost in the morning if I need it, but at night it does not bother me one way or the other. I am tired and I am going to sleep regardless of whether I have had a cup of coffee or not. I gave in and made a cup for myself, as well....

anyone know why danzo had sharingan?? he's not in uchiha clan either isn't it??? and why only have one like Tobi? are they the same person? or they share an eye??

2 responses

Valenas We currently do not know if Itachi killed Shisui or not- he was accused of killing him, but now that it has been revealed that Danzo has Sharingan it is more likely that Danzo killed him or was at least behind his death and set it up so that Itachi would take...

Valenas You took the kitten in? I am glad to hear that. It is good that he gets along with your pets- I wish I could say the same for Raiden. She gets scared easily and hisses a little, but she's come to accept some of our pets that have calmed down. Our other cat,...
