Rusty is a male cat and he is 13 years old. I first noticed that he didn't appear well about 4 or 5 days ago, and thought he might be getting cat flu. Today I took him to the vet, and he has Asthma and Diabetes. His lungs are in...

dodgyr I am very sorry to hear that. Losing a much loved pet is very hard and although I know he will always be in your heart, I do hope you are able to find happiness again soon. Please take care and remember all the good times :-)

dodgyr That sounds like the bank has not reduced their variable rates to keep in line with the reserve bank's cut. This is probably the banks trying to make more profit as they see their australian counterparts doing a similar thing. Australian banks have lately been...

Me and my husband are finally at the stage of buying our first home. The problem here is that his mind changes about everything and he gets so picky of the littlest things. I am thinking he's scared of making a commitment as big...

dodgyr My advice is for the two of you to sit down and have a serious discussion. Talk about why you want to purchase a house and why he might not. Talk about your goals, your desires etc. If you both do decide to buy a house together, get a list together of what...

dodgyr My unsolicited advice is for you not to buy a house yet. Look into investing in properties where tenants will help you to pay the mortgage. This way you won't get left behind by the property market. You are still in it, but you do not carry the burden by...

dodgyr Times are hard in Australia for first time home buyers as well, and it is made harder still by Australia's increasing interest rates. I understand where you are coming from, but think of it this way. When the fixed rate for loans go up, it gives you an...

dodgyr May I suggest something? When you are looking for a business to get involved in, do not get incolved in a business just because it worked for someone else or because you think you can make a lot of money from it. I would like to suggest that you sit down...

dodgyr We spent $15k on my cat when he was sick. Even though we were told that there was no known cure for his disease once it was diagnosed, we did the research, talked to the vet and all agreed on a plan of action. The cure cost more once again. But we cared only...

dodgyr Don't worry about the cost ... if you love your pet enough, the money means nothing. We spent over $15k (x-rays, blood tests, and lots more tests). He had some rare disease that has never been treated successfully before. I foudn some information on the...

I bought some gnocchi at the store yesterday and I was thinking about making them for dinner tonight, but I have no clue what to do with them. Have you had them before? What were they served with?

dodgyr Oh, I forgot to add ... salt and pepper to taste. Freshly cracked pepper and freshly shaved quality parmesan will add to the flavour. Make sure you buy parmesan that is from the middle of the cheese, not the dry tough pieces that most supermarket sells.

dodgyr Another possibility is to serve it with bacon, chicken and onions. cube chicken and onions, cut the bacon into chunky bits, Simmer some white wine, add cream when the alcohol has boiled off (not the liquid, just the alcohol content of the wine). In a...
