kasandra411 @kasandra411 (69) • United States 14 Apr 08

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...

I am attempting to get on the property ladder and am dsgusted that most lenders have chosen not to pass on the interest rate cuts to borrowers. In fact many have increased their rates on fixed rate mortgages. Times are hard for...

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...

I work in a vet surgery and every day I see people bring their pets in that desperately need urgent treatment. Some people say 'do whatever you have to do, I don't care how much it costs', whereas some people say 'if it's going to...

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 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...

Raysrunt @Raysrunt (72) • United States 21 Mar 08

For you cat owners out there, does anyone have a cat that sees things? Our cat will be laying on my lap or nearby and suddenly raise his head and stare into a corner or another room. He will stare for several seconds without...
