Is my cat's leg broken and how can i mend it?

My cat's leg is bent at the joint by the paw, when it stands it holds it up. If it puts any weight on it, it meows like crazy. I think it is broken, there is however no bones protruding out. Later tonight i think i'll take it to the vet, in the mean time how can i help it to give it some relief?Is my cat's leg broken and how can i mend it?
"Later tonight"? Why aren't you RUSHING him to a vet? Have to eat dinner first or your favourite TV show on? WTF??!!!
Okay; whoa - settle down - don't panic ! ! ! !



My cat was hit by a car and broke it's front leg in the late evening a few months ago. Surprisingly enough it was just as broken the next morning when I took it to the vets.



The reason that it went the next morning was because the nearest emergency clinic is 200 miles away and my regular vet only does large animal emergencies (cows). The cat simply settled down and purred all night to release the endorphins required to fight the pain. All we did was isolate the cat and check every few hours to see that is was drinking.



Now; if you have access to a late evening vet, do take the cat tonight. If not, take it in the morning. Do not attempt to give the cat anything but water until it sees the vet. NO MEDICATING THE CAT.Is my cat's leg broken and how can i mend it?
You should make sure he doesn't move. You dont want to hurt it any more than it already is.



I remember when my cat jumped up on a hot wood stove and burned all his paws. My mom had to wait intil i got back to school to bring him to the vet bc I had no way into the house. She made sure he didn't stand up and try to run away.



I think you should do that to him now. I hope the vet can fix it like new again =/



Good luck!
your even meaner than me, wow! id rush my pets to the vet/ emergancy animal hospital. wtheck is wrong with you? get off the computer and go to the vet u tard
Drop all your things now! Take him to the vet! He iis in serious pain and if you don't take him in for indemitdite surgery he could be parilized for life and could die! Their is no reliving! Go!
hurry and get to the vet the vet will have pain killers for kitty
TAKE HER NOW!@#!$

Why do my bones ache?

I'm 18 years old and have had arthritis in my back for 2 years now so I know what arthritis pain feels like. Here lately my extremities have been severely achey though. Not the muscles but the actual bone itself. Idk what it could be but it's driving me crazy! It's not like all day, just at random times and it's like a sharp shooting pain right in the bone. Not dull like my arthritis. Its like a pain that last about a minute and then goes away and then it comes back a few more times. Ive been very busy and havent had time to go to a dr lately and it's just started about a week ago. Any ideas?Why do my bones ache?
cause you don't exercise enough

What is the symtoms of parvo? can a dog be too old to get it?

if it wont eat but will drink non stop. acting crazy, skin and bones? could this be because of the puppies draining everything from herWhat is the symtoms of parvo? can a dog be too old to get it?
Parvovirus is a severe gastrointestinal disease. It initially causes weakness, depression, and lethargy. After a few days to weeks, it causes vomiting and lack of appetite. The dogs develop a very high fever. Very severe diarrhea ensues, gray in color, often with blood and tissue. Because of the vomiting and diarrhea, the dogs become very weak and dehydrated. Puppies and dogs less than two years old, may also suffer from heart disease caused by the virus, causing sudden death.
parvo is usually a puppy illness..if she is really skinny just make sure she has plenty available to eat..and watch her closely. if your still worried seek a vets opinionWhat is the symtoms of parvo? can a dog be too old to get it?
His/her poop will stink BAD, diarrhea, vomiting. I recommend a vet check immediately. My experience has been that it is not limited to pups.
My peek had parvo at 6 months and almost died. the symptoms are vommiting, bloody diarhea and pink gums. The secret to a home remedy is beef liver(fried) and pedialyte to drink(1/4 cup every two to three hours) you must go to the vet to get diagnosed b4 attempting to treat. they will charge you $1500 and keep her for 7 days and guarantee you that they will save her life. the home kit cost $250 and they will supply you with needles to inject her with fluids till she's able to drink. A lot of TLC and that remedy will cure her if its not broken down the immune system yet. that happens in about 48hrs. Good Luck!
Parvo is generally a puppy disease. Is your dog older than 2? Symptoms include vomiting, bloody diahrrhea, fatigue. Parvo is a disease of the intestinal lining that will eat through the lining of the gut. Once contracted and if treated immediately odds are not good for survival. A blood test at the vet's office is needed to determine if your dog has parvo. If it is an older dog, sounds like it could be hookworms, buy Lassie dog wormer at wal-mart and feed your dog pedialyte to treat the dehydration you can use an eye dropper to get it down her throat.
a nursing dog needs LOTS of food and clean fresh available. The best bet is giving her puppy food, and wet(can) food. the puppies will drain her, so she needs a easy way to replinsh.
Older dog usually don't get parvo but the dog will get very skinny and there bathroom will be running and there even may be blood. If you think your dog has it you should run it to the vet. Make sure the dog has lots of water.
get her checked by a vet she might have a calcuim defenciancy it will cause her to act like she is nuts and she will also foam at the mouth you might want to bottle feed the puppies for awhile if there not older enough to eat food on there own separate her from them for a couple hours a day that might help to if possible though take her to a vet

    I think I could help find this info, but when do you need it by? Would not be able to get to it until tomorrow and I don't know if that would be too late to help. There is a link to my email on my profile page if that would not be too late and you want help.



    By the way just for your info.... superior and inferior are just anatomical terms of location. There is also posterior and anterior.

    Have you ever been put off someone because they look like your sibling?

    Okay there was this girl who was speaking to me and it was fine till she stroked my arm and I realized she looks like my sister. Now it just seems really odd. Some guys said to me are you crazy, I would tear dat yellow bone *** up. I can't explain it but just that she looks similar to my sister puts me off.Have you ever been put off someone because they look like your sibling?
    i had a crush on tyra banks til i realized she looks like my aunt
    yellow bone? this is the uk...Have you ever been put off someone because they look like your sibling?
    Yes, I would love to have a crush on WWE Wrestler Ron Killings AKA R-Truth, but he reminds me way too much of one of my brothers.
    I am lite skin and I don't find lite skine men attractive because they look to much like my brother and they are very concited.

    Can you break a bone in your foot and still walk?

    The foot pain is at the arch and it goes through to the top of my foot also up my ankle and shin, it feels like a bad cramp that never goes awAy? It gets worse when I am sleeping and waking up is crazy!!! I have had it for three months and the past week I can't sleep. Can you break a bone and still be able to walk?Can you break a bone in your foot and still walk?
    The foot like the hand is made up of many small bones, so it is possible to do this and still walk. You may also have strained something or the footwear you are wearing is the cause of your problems, I really think you should see a doctor or podiatrist
    how did it happen??

    Report Abuse

    Can you break a bone in your foot and still walk?
    Yes. It sounds more like you have torn a muscle in your foot/ankle. Go see a dr. asap. You only got one pair of feet and they are your platform. You need to take good care of those puppies.

    JUST F.Y.I.

    My husband RAN for 3 weeks on a broken leg in college. Long story but his cross country coach told him it was some rare disease that he had to "work thru." My husband ended up having his entire knee replaced.
    yes , I did .when id step down i would hear a click click sound and then feel like peeing myself.but would go away when I didnt put pressure on it.My point is the pain was sharp and unbearable and no way could I have lived 3 months with it.

    what I believe ,because you dont mention an injury or any undue swelling or redness is that you could have a fallen arch.

    this would explain the continued pain.Id reccomend seeing a doctor who can help you find methods of dealing with it.

    I.E. special shoes or arch supports.

    It may be as simple as changing the shoes you wear or trying one of those inserts for shoes you can buy at the store ,if you have very high arches you shouldnt wear flats, sandals or moccasins that have little or no arch support.

    good luck
    Yes you can, you just say ouch a lot.
    Yes...depends on the bone though as to what sort of mobility you get back. I snapped 1/4 iknch of the end of my fibula and can no longer run as the bone will never heal.
    You sure can. Matter of fact, my father broke his leg once and walked on it for several weeks until he began to wonder why his leg wasn't getting any better and he finally went to the hospital and they x-rayed his leg. The ended up putting it in a cast and he had that on for a long time!!!
    yes, my daughter has done so and is in a cast today. its anticipated to heal in a month or so. its a real pain in the ...
    'Can you break a bone and still be able to walk?'%26gt;%26gt; after it heals, Yes



    Whats your doctors verdict on this?
    yes and as you say the pain is bad.

    i suggest you see a doctor and ask for x ray. if nothing is then found on the x ray you must follow up and go back to the doctor as there is something wrong and you should not suffer any longer
    you can break a bone in the foot and continue to walk on it. i broke my foot right by the last two toes and continued to work with it hurting for months.

    What was the Purpose of Moses Taking Joseph's Bones With Him When He Left Egypt?

    No crazy, ridiculous, or mildly ludicrous Answers Please.. Thank you.What was the Purpose of Moses Taking Joseph's Bones With Him When He Left Egypt?
    So Joseph could be buried in the Promise Land God

    promised them.
    Joseph in Genesis requested before he died that he would not be bury in the land of Egypt. He knew that Egypt whom he help were worldly people and knew where most of his family were bury.



    Go to the book of Genesis and to the verse where he about to die.What was the Purpose of Moses Taking Joseph's Bones With Him When He Left Egypt?
    It was Josephs idea that his remains be taken back to his homeland of Canaan. Moses having lead the Jes out to Canan did as Joseph wished some several hundred years before.
    Hebrews 11:22 By faith, Joseph, when his end was near, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel; and gave instructions concerning his bones.

    Muscles/bones aching?

    been abit confused lately as to whats giving me so much pain, i had very bad chest pains in my previous questions and i ended up coughing phlegm with blood in it.. im alot better now but i have mild headaches and muscle/bone ache..



    my ears are kinda ringing all the time and the back of my head +where it joins the spine sorta mildy hurts alittle. feel sleepy even after bein awake 4 hours



    after playing some football i find my lower back is hurting like crazy like something has popped out or torn, ive had the same feeling in the chest as this pain. it happened another day too near my tail bone. i even lent forward to and my ribs clicked abit.



    i do recall a few days ago that my left leg also went 70% numb for no reason even lying down..and i feel nerves passing thru certain parts of the body, shooting, stings and dull aches. in my toes, fingers, arms etc



    i dont want to sound a hyperchondriac but do u think i need a cervical spine test or something? or do u think its more stress relatedMuscles/bones aching?
    whether it is stress related or not, this sounds a like a bit much, i would recommend you go to the doctor and get a blood test! ASAP!
    you better go to a doctor!



    some of those are serious to your health!Muscles/bones aching?
    you should probably be seeing a doctor or a chiropractor.
    You have all these problems, and you're asking us here on Answers for a diagnosis? Go to your doctor, for Chrissake!

  • My foot itches like crazy, but I see nothing wrong with it. What's wrong?

    There's no redness, and no blemishes. No rashes either.



    It's the top of the foot, near where the leg and foot meet.



    I do feel I can feel the bone more then I used to though..



    What could be the problem? It's been like that for a few days.My foot itches like crazy, but I see nothing wrong with it. What's wrong?
    That happens to me sometimes too, but it's on the inside of my ankle. There can be all sorts of reasons for annoying itchy spells like this. I suggest you keep it moisturized at night, and use some anti-itch cream. During the day put some corn starch or foot powder on it. They have medicated foot powders with ingredients to reduce the itching.

    If the itching persists after doing these things, see a dermatologist.My foot itches like crazy, but I see nothing wrong with it. What's wrong?

    How old is the cup in the room? How long has it been there?

    You travel to a new country you have never been before. As you walk through the airport, you stop at the bathroom. On the bathroom sink is a solo cup. How do you determine the age of the cup, as well as determine how long it has been there?



    Sounds crazy when people say a certain bone, fossil etc. is 8 Billion years old, how do they know for sure? Same people thought the world was flat.



    God is good.How old is the cup in the room? How long has it been there?
    It doesn't matter. Its there and what will you do with it.

    The world is here and we have the word of God to tell us that Jesus died for us on th cross and if we put our trust in him we can have eternal life. What you do with Christ is what matters most.



    Romans 10:12: For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

    Romans 10:13: For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

    John 14:6: Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

    Mark 8:36: For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
    The cup doesn't exist and for that matter the bathroom nor the sink do, etc. either. What you perceive conventionally as a cup is a conglomeration of parts that we label. By the same logic you don't exist either. All things are dependently arising and impermanent. What part of you is you? Are you your arm? Your spleen? What is it that makes you, "you"?



    What part of the cup makes it a cup? If you take one item out of the process of making a "cup", it isn't a cup.



    Another little item... how you perceive things can really make you ask yourself what really exists independently, of which many scientists haven't been able to find yet, nor have I in my short time of logical examination. Take a pencil: It is a writing instrument to you, to someone ornery it's a dart thrown up to try to stick the point in the ceiling, but to a dog, it's a chew toy, and so on.



    So you see, Schrodinger's cat "experiment" has merit when examined logically.



    _()_How old is the cup in the room? How long has it been there?
    Well, if it's a Solo cup, you can find out how long Solo has been in business. Obviously the cup cannot be older than the company that made it.



    .
    What you do it you pick up the cup run it under cold water for 10 seconds then hot for 25 seconds...then you throw the cup on the floor then based on the sound it makes you'll know how old it is
    you see the duty roster at the lavatory doors.

    last time they did the cleaning, that's the time when the cup "deposited in the sediment"
    No one says a bone is 8 billion years old, dear.
    Try reading a science book once in a while. God does not exist.

    Why do so many gamers complain about the PS3?

    I own the system, and it looks great. Gameplay is smooth, and the graphics are topnotch. I actually believe with a Blu-Ray disc player, it should cost more than $600 bones. I know for a fact, a Blu-Ray dvd player is close to a grand alone. You would be crazy to not buy a PS3. So my question is, why are so many people disliking a great system?...I guess they can't afford it.Why do so many gamers complain about the PS3?
    In my opinion the Ps3 doesnt have that good of graphics, some of the games are alright but its not really worth the money. I sold mine about a week after i got it and bought a Wii instead. its actually alot better. people have theyre opinions though to me, its a pretty crappy system and the prices are gunna go down just like Ps 1s, 2s and then 3s. it happens with every system.
    The fact is that the experts have found glitches in the system, and the fact that the other systems have been cheaper has resulted in questions about whether or not PS3 can compete. Thus, Sony has not been pumping out games for it. The prediction right now is that there simply will not be enough games to justify buying a PS3. No one wants to spend that kind of dough if it is going to turn out a couple of years from now that they are saddled with an overpriced Sega Saturn with no new games.



    That's not to say that it won't work out in the end. Sony is pretty smart. But the early buzz doesn't look good.Why do so many gamers complain about the PS3?
    well even though blu-ray costs more as a dvd player but u cant tell a big difference in the quality, and for a system costing $600 and most of its games havent been able to use but a small percentage of its processor
    W/ the Wii and the 360 out w/ much cheaper prices and much better games, why get a PS3? Gamers are more concerned about the actual games than extra features. Now, dont get me wrong, extra features are nice. But when they make the system cost $600 and they only have a handful of worthy games (Resistance and Virtual Fighter), the other consoles are just better.
    There is many reasons why we hate it ...but all the new gen systems are over priced.....Personally ...there is not AMAZING games out yet 4 it .....You can do more with a xbox 360 and who cares if i does not have a built in HD/blue ray player....The dvds are like 30 bucks.....the PS3 is not worth it in my eyes....but about the 1000 bucks thing....In Australia that's how much you have to dish out 4 a PS3....I'm not haten on the PS3 or nothing ...I mean Sony is a good company ...but its not amazing ...I'M glad you like your PS3 ..and it hasn't melted on you ....Ya you would be crazy to BUY one ....u think about it you buy the system ...you spend all your money and you haven't even bought a single game.....i dont like the system because ..of the hard ware and the games....Thats all it is to it.....
    i don't know but hey its america right so everyone can have ther own opinion
    The price is a big downfall, as well as the games are too similar to PS2 games, they're all war combat which gets boring

    Is it wrong to want to purposely break a bone?

    I've always wondered what it feels like to break a bone. And i really want to do so ... Am i crazy or just too curious for my own good?. :/ xIs it wrong to want to purposely break a bone?
    Am i crazy or just too curious for my own good? Probably a bit of both Hari!



    I broke my left leg in 3 places [motor-cycle accident] many years ago. I didn't feel anything at all as I watched it bend at a right angle [half way between ankle and knee] as i tried to get up. It was only when I saw it bend where it shouldn't that I realised it was broken. I found out by vision not feel.



    It was set and put in plaster from ankle to groin and stayed in plaster for 3 months. Biggest problem was not being able to wash inside the plaster, especially as it was start of summer and quite hot. So I used to pour talcum powder down the top of the plaster. Then there would be explosive whooshes of powder bursting from the toe for an hour or so after as I walked about. Surprisingly, it didn't hurt at all but was very inconvenient as I had to sleep on my back all the time, and um er we had to be a little inventive with love-making positions. It may have been during this period that the teeth marks in our bedhead started to appear. lol



    Then when the plaster came off and I put weight on it for the first time then IT HURT! A month of physio followed and all eventually came good.



    So to answer you question as to what it feels like..... in my case the break area felt numb and with no pain for 3 months, then after plaster came off I'd say 80/100 pain diminishing to 20/100 after a month.



    My very sincere advice is Don't do it - they don't always heal straight and well and who knows it may happen naturally one day and then you can "enjoy" the experience. I'd wait until then if I were you Hari.



    Ron
    Yes, it is wrong - having a perfect skeleton is something a lot others haven't been gifted to own.

    And then you come to spoil your own? Once your break it, you may mock it, but wont be back as normal. Yes, you're officially crazy and for your own good, yes don't do it.



    I had 2 broken arms %26amp; wrists 13 years ago, and my wrists still hurt when I use the keyboard a lot.Is it wrong to want to purposely break a bone?
    You really should not try to do it! When I broke my arm (on accident!) It did not feel good! I had to have 3 casts, and a pin put into my arm, and my friends would always ask what happened. My arm was in deep pain for a week after, and I was only 5 or 6, so I cried buckets. Plus the cost for treatments that you or your family will pay? Don't do it!
    It's wrong, yes. Crazy no, unless you actually do it. Too curious, yes.



    From personal experience I can tell you it hurts like a ************ and really recommend you avoid breaking bones, on purpose or even through a careless accident.
    in 4th grade i used to really want braces, now that i have them, i wish they were gone. it would probaly be something like that with you breaking a bone, but more painful im sure. your not crazy for thinking that though.
    I understand wanting to know what it feels like, but ive broken a few bones in my day, and i would not advise it.

    How can I jump from heights completely uninjured?

    Right, say for example 10 metres or so, For the hell of it, on to a solid concrete surface. Some sort of special landing that wont hurt as much as normal?

    I can handle a bleeding palm or something. I mean avoiding a broken bone.



    PS: Yes, I'm a crazy thrillseeking idiot. Please don't judge me.How can I jump from heights completely uninjured?
    Hi Kancamabo,



    I am not sure if you could do it but perhaps you should practice and try out on softer surfaces such as grass/field first before attempting on a solid concrete surface. Maybe you can try to do a roll to absorb the impact after landing. Perhaps you can check out those parkour tutorials to help you out.



    All the best to you.
    i am also a crazy thrillseeking idiot. i dont know about 50 feet but 6-12 feet is standards for the tuck and roll. for 50 feet i say lots and lots of pillows and spring mattresses. or if you like skydiving is only $60-$300 and bunjee jumping off of bridges is pretty cool. base jumping also. but i like the pillow idea best! just kidding. just dont hurt youself!!How can I jump from heights completely uninjured?
    Try to Move faster horizontally than vertically and then try to land with you forearm on the ground first which will help you roll out of the fall instead of planting yourself on the floor.
    If you can land on both feet leaning forward with more weight on one of them and immediately roll over that shoulder, you might not kill yourself.

  • What are your opinions on the character devolpment in Breaking Dawn? How they turned out?

    I finished the book yesterday, and since I've browsed the internet to read reviews. Honestly, I was so worried everyone would say it was an amazing book, because it sure isn't, but I was pleased to see that readers agree that the book was untterly dissapointing.



    Besides plot and writing skill, one big disappointment for me was the character development. I can easily say that I wasn't satisfied with one character's outcome in the conclusion.



    Edward- Where was he? He seemed too much of a minor character in the book. Plus, he had many out of character moments, like when

    ***SPOILERS***

    says something along the lines off "we need to get that 'thing' out of her", refereeing to when she gets pregnant. It's HIS baby, he is the FATHER, and he refers to it as a thing?

    Another huge OOC (out of character) action is when he suggests Jacob get Bella pregnant.

    Whoa, there!

    That is completely unnecessary. He might as well have said, "Bella, honey, let's kill this half vampire half human baby. And afterwards, I promise you: we can replace it with a half human half dog baby you can enjoy making with Jacob."

    Disgusting. Just plain disgusting.

    And going backwards a bit, how can a guy like Edward, a guy that controls himself and sets so many rules throughout the previous three books, suddenly give in to Bella's seduction, after he BRUISED her entire body, nearly killed her, causing her so much pain? That is entirely OOC.



    Bella- I was really unsatisfied with the way Bella鈥檚 character turns out. It annoyed me how everything was so easy for her. Being a crazy newborn? Nah, that would take up too many pages to write. Not seeing Charlie ever again? Don鈥檛 worry about it; he doesn鈥檛 even want to know! Jacob鈥檚 heartbreak? You got that one covered- he imprinted on your baby (plus that pretty much covers life insurance and any day care expenses. At least you鈥檒l be able to relax knowing there is someone out there who鈥檇 die for your baby in case you don鈥檛 want to or can鈥檛 save her.) Escaping the Volterri鈥檚 dangerous gifts? Well, you鈥檝e got a nifty little shield on your hands for that. So convenient, eh?



    Rosalie- Wasn鈥檛 she coming around to Bella in Eclipse? They had a nice little chat, and Rosalie was warming up to Bella. So why did Meyer have to turn her into this crazy *****? Rosalie isn鈥檛 THAT nasty, people! No one can be so nasty! Everything she does and says in the book revolves around the fact that she has no interest in Bella鈥檚 well-being (for all she cared, Bella could die, causing Edward, Jacob, Bella鈥檚 family, and all the Cullens an eternity of grief ) but is devoted to the baby鈥檚 life. The mutant baby that makes Bella scream in agony and breaks her bones one by one. She鈥檚 a Cullen, for god鈥檚 sake! Are any of the Cullens, raised by Carlisle, THIS evil?



    Emmett, Esme, Jasper- Emmett was totally non-existent in this book, except for some funny lines here and there, some entertaining scenes to lighten the mood. But Emmett isn鈥檛 just some comedian. I wish Meyer would show a different side of him, a more serious and deep side of him. He almost comes across as a dumb jock with his evil manipulating blonde cheerleading girlfriend. And Esme and Jasper didn鈥檛 really have parts either.



    Alice- I HATED how she was so absent in the books. The whole J.Jenks sub-plot was a stupid idea. I was so sad that she ran off like that- and especially when the Cullens decided to believe she did it for her and Jasper鈥檚 well-being. That is so not like Alice. Abandoning her family and leaving Bella notes to go on a 100 page scavenger hunt that has no point by the end of the story.



    Jacob- I always was a Jacob fan. But that doesn鈥檛 make my opinion biased. Even if I was an Edward fan, I know I鈥檇 still think the same of HIS part in the story.

    I liked how the confrontation in Book One went with Bella at her wedding. For me, this was a scene similar to those of Eclipse, a scene that seemed appropriate for the book. And don鈥檛 get me wrong, Book Two was my favorite part of the book. Reading in his point-of-view was refreshing and entertaining, and I wished Book Three would have been in his POV too, which brings me to this: In Book Three, his character was completely lost. I wished Meyer would have at least written his imprinting on Renesmee in his POV more, because I didn鈥檛 understand that. Of course for Meyer, it was an easy way to solve the love triangle, but it didn鈥檛 satisfy me one bit. It fell into place too easily. It left me wondering, Could Jacob really have fallen right out of love with Bella? Could he possible see Bella in Renesmee and that鈥檚 why he imprinted? Did he not care of Bella any more? Is that the end of the Jacob vs. Edward that should have had a better outcome? How could Meyer throw away his love for Bella after so many pages of his devotion to her? I love Jacob鈥檚 character, he seems the only sane one, especially in Book Two. But his character got lost, and perhaps this is the most disappointing thing for me.



    The foreign vamps and Voulteri- SOOOO boring. Sure, at first it was cool. But it was 100 pages of historical conversation and stories and descriptions. Who cares? All we readers wanted to find out was how Jacob, Bella, and Edward鈥檚 problems would be resolved, and realistically speaking, this meant that it couldn鈥檛 be a happy ending (but who knew Meyer would throw in a mutant baby capable of being imprinted on). Yes, throwing the J.Jenks plot could have potentially been good meat, but it ended up being completely raw. And sure, the Volterii鈥檚 appearance was cool and I anticipated a fight where at least some of the loved characters should have died (not some nobody Irina that readers probably already despised for playing tattle-tale on the Cullens). But no, they ended up leaving with peace. Although that chapter wasn鈥檛 bad on a count that it was a rollercoaster of punishing them or not punishing them, the decision kept going back and forth which created excitement and anticipation for me.



    What are your opinions on the character鈥檚 development throughout the book? These were just some of the many points that I鈥檝e been thinking about.

    What are your opinions on the character devolpment in Breaking Dawn? How they turned out?
    I felt like EVERYONE was out of character. Especially Bella. She was the Bella we knew during the wedding, with her usual fears about her clumsiness, meeting Tanya, standing next to Edward, etc. But later, I felt I couldn't relate or understand her at all. I was suprised she called Rosalie too, I see how Rosalie would understand, but I think she should have called Alice instead, I mean Alice was her bestfriend, and Alice would have done what Rosalie did (which was defend her and the baby). I was disapointed with how little we got to hear about Jasper, Alice, Carlisle, and Esme. I could see Emment with those sex jokes though, I don't think that was too out of place. There were many disspointments, but I still loved the book. The only things that really really got to me were the name Renesmee (ew!), Jacob's POV, no fight scence, and minimal sweet moments with Edward and Bella. I loved when they were SWEET not HORNY, but I guess that's just a part of them 'growing' up.
    wooooow

    you really took time to think this all through...

    some points i agree with, but for the most part i loved the book and i think stephanie did do a great job.What are your opinions on the character devolpment in Breaking Dawn? How they turned out?
    I went though a roller coaster of love vs. hate of this book.



    When I first began reading, I was really shocked that Bella was so out of character. I can't put my finger on exactly everything that bugged me, but her getting pregnant was my biggest problem with the book. It completely confused me. All of a sudden, Bella was insane and her thoughts were revolving around this baby, instead of Edward. I think she even mentioned wanting to not become a vampire, which completely contradicted what she's been wanting and thinking about for the whole series! And i totaly missed Jacob imprinting on Renesmee until Bella was screaming at him about it.



    %26amp; I agree about the J. Jenks subplot. It was ridiculous, and wasn't even needed. What was the point? I DON'T GET IT!



    I think Meyer just wrote an ending to write an ending.

    She really didn't satisfy me.



    BUT, i was happy she stayed with Edward even though he became a different character too.
    I loved it! except for the part in jacobs eyes i dunno why but i hated that part. Here is the way i see the characters. *SORRY ITS WAAAAAAY LONG*



    Bella- It was like she was born to be a vampire. In the previous books it was constantly mentioned that Bella was NOT a normal human, she didnt click well with teenagers and her best friend was her mom because probably only because she had been with her mom her whole life. Yet somehow she immediately clicked with all of the cullen family (minus rosalie), coincidence? NO! it was because she was not ment to be human but to be a vampire. Thats why i was perfectly fine with the fact that she was able to deal so well with being a vampire... because thats what she was supposed to be. She had a harder time being human and it came unnaturally to her but as a vampire that was wat she was ment to be so it wasnt nearly as hard. See, u have to flip it, if she had gone from vampire to human she probably would have had a harder time than any other vampire would if they became human.



    Edward- I dont think he was OOC at all! if fact i think it showed his character even more. Think about it, all he saw was that he had done something that was causing bella to die. He just thought of it as a monster that HE had created and it was killing the thing he loved most. He loved bella so much that he would do ANYTHING to save her. But then when he heard Renesmee's thoughts and how she thought he immediately realized that it was not a monster at all but just misunderstood and from then on he loved her.



    Rosalie- she was NOT warming up to Bella in Eclispe, she just wanted Bella to see why she didnt think she should become a vampire and why she didnt like her. She knew that it was unfair that she didnt like her for no apparent reason so she told bella why- she was jealous that bella had everything that she wanted and was throwing it away. She even admits that she doenst know if her dislike for her will go away. Just because bella now see's Rosalies opinion does not mean Rosalie will just suddenly start liking bella. THen in Breaking dawn she was just herself, wanting what she couldnt have and that was why she wanted, or needed, Renesmee to be born. Rosalie was not evil, just selfish and thats how shes always been so i dont think her personality changed.



    Esme, Emmet, Jasper- None of them are main characters and they never have been. Stephenie cant make EVERY single character have a leading part or else it would have been a 2,000 page book rather then a 700 and something page book. Emmet showed his true personality, and u were the one saying all these different characters personalities changed and now u want Him to have a different personality? THeres nothing really to do because thats him and thats how he will stay. he was the comic relief of the family and thats how he always has been. Same with esme and Jasper, the book lingers on the fact that jasper is exasperated that bella has odd emotions and thats about all his character was needed for. As for Esme, what did u want... her to start flying around in tights and a leotard to save the day? She has no powers and is just compationate and thats what she was in the book. She cried when alice left and carried for everyone and thats exactly the only thing she was supposed to do.



    Alice- She was Absent for only like 1/5 of the book and it gave it a twist. It was necessary for the climax of the book. Thats what made it seem SO dangerous because everyone (including the reader) thought that there was no hope at all. Thats what made it all seam so scary- that alice would abandon her own family because it was so dangerous. The whold J. Jenks thing was needed too because Alice herself knows that her visions arent set and even if she had seen a shred of hope (which she obviously did) she knew that things could still go wrong and she needed a backup plan just in case. You wouldnt walk across a tightrope that was 50 feet above the ground without a safety net, even if you thought you could make it across right? Also i think it was needed because if Stephenie Meyer hadn't added it then bella would have had no human contact besides charlie. The whole j jenks thing showed her self control and that she looked like the cullens had in the cafeteria to her on the first day of school.



    Jacob- Imprinting is strong. Remember how sam and leah thought that they were absolutely in love? well they were wrong because emily is obviously perfect for sam. The same thing happened. Of course jacob still loves bella but its just not in the same way. It is more of a brother-sister way now. I dont agree with you about his character being lost because he is there in all of the fights, with renesmee, and is in the thick of everything that happens. He still is himself and he still see's bella as the same bella as ever just now he doesnt love her in the same way.



    The Foreign Vampires/Voulteri- I think that they foreign vamps were there to show some of the history and powers of other vampires since we only know of a few covens. but i think that the voulteri didnt seem as dangerous as they should have. i mean they just gave up like that and only killed Irena. In my opinion i was glad that none of the cullens had died (like in The last harry potter i hated it becuase jk. rowling killed so many good characters that i just got pissed) but i think they could have gone for a better character to kill. Maybe Seth or maybe even Charlie. But Leaving the Cullens in tact was good i thought.



    So in the end despite all of the complaints i've been hearing about the book I LOVED IT! because Dont even pretend like u didnt want a happy ending! I think that it was perfect, im only sad that its over so soon and there arent 3 more books that i get to look forward to.
    I liked how they turned out. And no, I don't think the book was a disappointment. I enjoyed it and was pleased with the outcome.



    You think people are actually going to read all of that, lol. You could have shortened it up a bit...

    i thought that it was funny when Edward asked jacob to get bella pregant the reason why he did not want her to have the baby was because it would kill her it did basicaly if no vampire was there she would have died i just thought how bella reacted to jacob imprinting on nessie was stupid she should have understand i think she was mad because she enjoyed jacob n edward fighting for her love n when he imprinted on nessie she did not have that anymore
    I thought she totally ruined all the characters. I always liked Rosalie, and then she turned her into a stupid *****. She turned Emmett into a character that only pops up to make sex jokes. Bella was ridiculously vain and cocky, Jacob was funny but turned into a total paedophile, and Edward was his usual annoying self. I hardly even remember any scenes with Alice, Jasper, Esme and Carlisle.
    God i completely agree. One thing i just realised though, Rosalie was the evil, evil woman while Bella was pregnant and was made out to be the worst person in the book then, as soon as the baby was born SUDDENLY there was no problem there! WHAT WAS UP WITH THAT?!?! Right actually, i'm going to ask that now.
    Ok well I totally agreed with you about Jacob Falling out of love(if that makes sense) with Bella. And the thing you said about Emmett about him seeming like a dumb jock with a blonde ***** as a wife Is totally true in my POV. Emmett was way better in the first 3 books. But at the same time, I think that Breaking Dawn was the best one yet. But honestly, what do i know, I'm only 12. Most people even think that i'm too young to have read those 4 books.

    What are your opinions on the character devolpment in Breaking Dawn? How they turned out?

    I finished the book yesterday, and since I've browsed the internet to read reviews. Honestly, I was so worried everyone would say it was an amazing book, because it sure isn't, but I was pleased to see that readers agree that the book was untterly dissapointing.



    Besides plot and writing skill, one big disappointment for me was the character development. I can easily say that I wasn't satisfied with one character's outcome in the conclusion.



    Edward- Where was he? He seemed too much of a minor character in the book. Plus, he had many out of character moments, like when

    ***SPOILERS***

    says something along the lines off "we need to get that 'thing' out of her", refereeing to when she gets pregnant. It's HIS baby, he is the FATHER, and he refers to it as a thing?

    Another huge OOC (out of character) action is when he suggests Jacob get Bella pregnant.

    Whoa, there!

    That is completely unnecessary. He might as well have said, "Bella, honey, let's kill this half vampire half human baby. And afterwards, I promise you: we can replace it with a half human half dog baby you can enjoy making with Jacob."

    Disgusting. Just plain disgusting.

    And going backwards a bit, how can a guy like Edward, a guy that controls himself and sets so many rules throughout the previous three books, suddenly give in to Bella's seduction, after he BRUISED her entire body, nearly killed her, causing her so much pain? That is entirely OOC.



    Bella- I was really unsatisfied with the way Bella鈥檚 character turns out. It annoyed me how everything was so easy for her. Being a crazy newborn? Nah, that would take up too many pages to write. Not seeing Charlie ever again? Don鈥檛 worry about it; he doesn鈥檛 even want to know! Jacob鈥檚 heartbreak? You got that one covered- he imprinted on your baby (plus that pretty much covers life insurance and any day care expenses. At least you鈥檒l be able to relax knowing there is someone out there who鈥檇 die for your baby in case you don鈥檛 want to or can鈥檛 save her.) Escaping the Volterri鈥檚 dangerous gifts? Well, you鈥檝e got a nifty little shield on your hands for that. So convenient, eh?



    Rosalie- Wasn鈥檛 she coming around to Bella in Eclipse? They had a nice little chat, and Rosalie was warming up to Bella. So why did Meyer have to turn her into this crazy *****? Rosalie isn鈥檛 THAT nasty, people! No one can be so nasty! Everything she does and says in the book revolves around the fact that she has no interest in Bella鈥檚 well-being (for all she cared, Bella could die, causing Edward, Jacob, Bella鈥檚 family, and all the Cullens an eternity of grief ) but is devoted to the baby鈥檚 life. The mutant baby that makes Bella scream in agony and breaks her bones one by one. She鈥檚 a Cullen, for god鈥檚 sake! Are any of the Cullens, raised by Carlisle, THIS evil?



    Emmett, Esme, Jasper- Emmett was totally non-existent in this book, except for some funny lines here and there, some entertaining scenes to lighten the mood. But Emmett isn鈥檛 just some comedian. I wish Meyer would show a different side of him, a more serious and deep side of him. He almost comes across as a dumb jock with his evil manipulating blonde cheerleading girlfriend. And Esme and Jasper didn鈥檛 really have parts either.



    Alice- I HATED how she was so absent in the books. The whole J.Jenks sub-plot was a stupid idea. I was so sad that she ran off like that- and especially when the Cullens decided to believe she did it for her and Jasper鈥檚 well-being. That is so not like Alice. Abandoning her family and leaving Bella notes to go on a 100 page scavenger hunt that has no point by the end of the story.



    Jacob- I always was a Jacob fan. But that doesn鈥檛 make my opinion biased. Even if I was an Edward fan, I know I鈥檇 still think the same of HIS part in the story.

    I liked how the confrontation in Book One went with Bella at her wedding. For me, this was a scene similar to those of Eclipse, a scene that seemed appropriate for the book. And don鈥檛 get me wrong, Book Two was my favorite part of the book. Reading in his point-of-view was refreshing and entertaining, and I wished Book Three would have been in his POV too, which brings me to this: In Book Three, his character was completely lost. I wished Meyer would have at least written his imprinting on Renesmee in his POV more, because I didn鈥檛 understand that. Of course for Meyer, it was an easy way to solve the love triangle, but it didn鈥檛 satisfy me one bit. It fell into place too easily. It left me wondering, Could Jacob really have fallen right out of love with Bella? Could he possible see Bella in Renesmee and that鈥檚 why he imprinted? Did he not care of Bella any more? Is that the end of the Jacob vs. Edward that should have had a better outcome? How could Meyer throw away his love for Bella after so many pages of his devotion to her? I love Jacob鈥檚 character, he seems the only sane one, especially in Book Two. But his character got lost, and perhaps this is the most disappointing thing for me.



    The foreign vamps and Voulteri- SOOOO boring. Sure, at first it was cool. But it was 100 pages of historical conversation and stories and descriptions. Who cares? All we readers wanted to find out was how Jacob, Bella, and Edward鈥檚 problems would be resolved, and realistically speaking, this meant that it couldn鈥檛 be a happy ending (but who knew Meyer would throw in a mutant baby capable of being imprinted on). Yes, throwing the J.Jenks plot could have potentially been good meat, but it ended up being completely raw. And sure, the Volterii鈥檚 appearance was cool and I anticipated a fight where at least some of the loved characters should have died (not some nobody Irina that readers probably already despised for playing tattle-tale on the Cullens). But no, they ended up leaving with peace. Although that chapter wasn鈥檛 bad on a count that it was a rollercoaster of punishing them or not punishing them, the decision kept going back and forth which created excitement and anticipation for me.

  • Can someone help me identify a possible bone bruise?

    My right shin got nailed pretty bad during my football game, and it hurt like crazy. It was throbbing and really, really tender when it came to putting pressure on it (like running, or even kneeling). It felt a lot better the next day after I took an ice bath, but it still is very painful when I run on it. Does this sound like a bruised bone? Should I practice with it? Any tips and suggestions would be appreciated.Can someone help me identify a possible bone bruise?
    Pain is normal. Try soaking it in warn epsom salt. I'd say if it doesn't start feeling better in 5 days, see a doctor. Have you showed it to your trainer? Try letting your knee rest for a couple of days. Running on it slows down the healing process. Is it swelling alot? You can't bruise a bone, as a bruise is caused by the blackening of blood vessels when they are hit.Can someone help me identify a possible bone bruise?
    Ummm "Med student"....you better hit the books harder. You can bruise the bone and you can have bleeding in the marrow. An MRI will detect this condition and it takes months to completely heal.

    Need food ideas for an "after orthopedic surgery" party?

    Well, I know this sounds crazy! But my 11 year old will be having scoliosis surgery (spinal fusion) in the late spring.

    It's nerve racking of course, and she and I thought i would be fun to have a party after she is recovered.

    She came up with the idea of having ribs (bones) which I thought was cute. So now we need some other thoughts to go with a bone/orthopedic kind of theme. So, serious answers only please, I'd love some help putting together a themed party for her.Need food ideas for an "after orthopedic surgery" party?
    How about a pasta salad made with "curvy" pasta like rotini? My husband also suggested manicotti or canneloni (straight, filled with "bone marrow")?
    You could make all kinds of cookies and cut them out using a dog bone shaped cookie cutter and decorate them with icing. Or you could make them in the shape of gingerbread men and decorate them with skeletons using white cake decorating icing. See the links below for some cute ideas along this line.Need food ideas for an "after orthopedic surgery" party?
    It would be kind of funny to have "hardware" along with your ribs. Not sure how this could be done, but to have fake rods, screws, etc.



    Might be easier to do on a cake...take steel rods, boil to sterylize, maybe encase in wax to be sure, place with other "instrumentation"...: -) Maybe I'm just being silly, but hey, that's kind of what this party is about!
    Play operation.

    have pasta shaped as bones or so sorta of doctory and make macaroni

    Why do people hate on Lil Wayne so much?

    I have always wondered why people hate on Lil Wayne so much. I know his lyrics are not always the most meaningful such as something produced by Nas or Bones n Thugs but his flow is sick (in my opinion). I also find his metaphor use to be very comical at times which is a nice twist. I just do not understand why people hate on him so much.y? If I am out at a club or bar and they play one of his songs it gets crazy...the beats are just sick.Why do people hate on Lil Wayne so much?
    Famous. I have respect for you. Real talk. I have wondered this myself. His metaphors are so simple, yet they have an impact. I honestly do not understand why people waste so much time worrying about someone elses life.



    Lil Wayne is a mastermind. Sure, he's always sippin syrup...GET OVER IT. And ya'll need to spend your time worryin about your own messed up lives. Let him be, he's doin his thing, go do yours.
    1. He doesn't have a sick flow. He slurs in most recent songs. His voice was okay pre-2004.



    2. His songs are okay for parties or clubs



    3. If i was in the house chilling, i wouldn't want to listen to lil wayne. songs are too hype. When you need to zone out, his music is not right for that.



    4. His attitude sucks



    5. Most of his fans are biased



    6. He's gotten lazy basically. Compare Carter II or 500 Degreez to Carter III. You know he's fallen off. And he's thinking about doing rock? The Syrup has gone to his head now. His "Real" fans even say he's sold out. It's just the d*ckriders that love every single thing he attempts.Why do people hate on Lil Wayne so much?
    cause every song is with either kid rock, that other rock kid(not dissin them) or tpain or he is playing a guitar. cmon lay off the syrup.the fans make it worse they edge him on making him think he is the best rapper alive when in reality he is not even close. half of his lines are recycled at that too but i know rappers do recycle but lil wayne is not original to me. he shoots himself when he was high off of god knows what now he thinks he is the biggest blood with all the tatts
    1. He KISSES MEN

    2. He is fake (not a real blood, has never killed anyone)

    3. His metaphors are nursery rhyme level (im the bomb like tick tick)

    4. Has not put out a single song to actually uplift people and promote anything positive without throwing in how great he thinks he is.

    5. COCKY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    6. Does not care about music, in it only for the money

    7. Puts no effort in his music

    8. RIDICULOUSLY overrated.

    9. Half his fans who call him the "best rapper alive" have probably never heard of Rakim or KRS-One or Kool G Rap or Wu-Tang Clan

    10. Has built his whole career using other peoples style when he talks about how original he is and how there is no one like him.



    believe me i can keep going.
    The reason people hate is becasue when your on top everyone has their opinon of you. it goes with what all the rappers say

    "They build you up so they can bring you down"



    If you like lil wayne you should check out this site www.lilwaynesite.com or click below to go directly there
    - His lyrics are retarded



    - He DOESNT have good flow



    - He mumbles and slurs his words all the time



    - He claims to be the best rapper ever, when he clearly isnt even close



    - His songs are played constantly on the radio, BET %26amp; MTV



    - His voice is just plain annoying



    - His fans are all 12 year olds because anyone older realises his lyrics are stupid
    There's a height requirement to be a decent rapper, lets just say if good rap was a rollercoaster Lil' Wayne would be riding the Ferris Wheel.
    1. He's garbage, 2. He raps about **** all, 3. His fans are people who don't know real hip hop/rap. 4. Wayne is killing real hip hop for the people who knew when it was good
    because hes "mainstream" and everyone on this site thinks anything mainstream sucks.



    Edit: for the people who gave me thumbs up, i dont hate lil wayne. i think hes an OK rapper
    HATERADE
    Why do people love him so much?



    Think about it, why...His flow is terrible btw...
    cuz he is a FaggetRapper...
    hes LAZY.
    Message to LiL Wayne Fans in General



    There's No Specific Fact on why he has Haterz, He has Different Haterz for Different Reasons.

    I Respect you enough to Explain to You why People Hate him so much .

    And these are actually Real Reasons Real Facts. If you wanna Know every Reason here they Are and Explained to You throughly.

    People Would NoT Hate for Dumb Reasons , These are True Facts.



    I Dare you to Read all this and PROVE ME Wrong on anything said Here.. Doubt it because its Nothing but the truth.



    I Never Dissed so Much On No Rapper In my Entire Life and Thats Because theres Never been an Artist So Fake like Lil wayne in every way from:



    #1) LiL Wayne Sucks.. Why?? His Style , Flow , SenseLess Lyrics, Everything is Proved in Right In your Face. And if U cant see it , that Means you dont know what Real Rap skills are.

    His Lyrics Dont Make No sense Half The Times and he Makes Up Words to Finish Song Verses.

    His NoNsense Lyrics are made to sound Good over a Pretty beat by the DJs.

    In the End No matter how Good it sounds Its Really Garbage.

    And We are noT Judging by some songs , Ive Heard his TOP Best and even still Sucks with in skills in Compared to those Real Rappers Dead Ones %26amp; Alive Ones Retired.

    **************************************鈥?br>
    #2) He is a Bubble Gum WRapper , He Makes Songs out of the same concepts over %26amp; over

    (Money, Girls, Bling Bling , pop Bottles **** etc etc.)

    Nothing Real Kept to the streets HipHop was Made Over a Different Concept and Now its Completely the Opposite with No Positive Concepts.

    "HIP HOP Has to Stay True to The Streets Concepts of Struggle"

    Im Talking in His Songs generally Speaking.

    Thats why HipHop is Dying by all these Wanna Bes CopyKatz from Today.

    **************************************鈥?br>
    #3) He's Cocky Lookin , His Character Just Doesnt Go with The Real Person He is. He Claims himself a "Real Blood" But hes Fake ,

    "Theres Prove to Match That" Hes a POSER that Dresses Up like a Crip.

    LiL wayne Did Not Witness Struggles In Life Because LiL Wayne was Born Rich , What would a LiL boy with Rich Parents be doing in The Guetto?

    He would be at Home with Mommy and Daddy Warm in his Bed with everything he really wanted.

    And its Easier for a Rich Person to Get Record Deals . Money Fixes everything even if u dont Have a Real True Talent.

    If U have The Money and The right People to Connect to , Its Easier !!

    **************************************鈥?br>
    #4) His Voice is Anoying , he sounds Like he has a cock in his throat...

    In Compared to Those Real Rappers dead Ones and Live Ones He sucks in every way from Style ,Lyrics, Flow to Voice. Admit It !!!!

    **************************************鈥?br>
    #5) Hes Told On What To Rap by the Record Label... Commercialized Rapper

    Plus He doesnt write all Of his **** ...Mostly he does and The ones he makes Gerenarally speaking. Sucks!!

    **************************************鈥?br>
    #6) He Claims hes The Best Rapper Alive .. When theres Over 10 rappers Alive that can Take his *** Down. And He and His Fans even Admits it sometimes... i can Name u Over 15 Rappers "better" %26amp; "Realer" than Him.

    **************************************鈥?br>
    #7) Hes Over Rated Over No "Real Talent" what so ever .. Over Rated by LiL Kids , Teens from 10 to 19 Aprox. The Mayority Speaking !!

    And Girls who like to Dance Over The Beat !!

    ((((((Over Rated)))))))

    **************************************鈥?br>
    #8) He's a (Swagger Jacker) but he claims himself Original.. He steals Rap Lines from Many Legend Rapper and uses them in his Songs. LiL wayne went Over Board ..

    Other Rappers May have done it in some words or Lines , but LiL wayne went to Far

    Hes The # 1 "Swagger Jacker" Lying ****.. But hes the best Right??

    Just tell me how many Reason do U want to convince U that LiL wayne is Pure Garbage??

    people wouldnt be Dissin so Much if He was REAL !!

    **************************************鈥?br>
    #9) Theres Alot of people with Real Talent trying to Get Record Dealz trying to get a Shot.

    but they Cant . Its hard to achieve Opportunities , Look what happen to EMINEM he was from the streets , poor , He struggled to get On TOP , "And he was discovered by Real Talent"

    These people are having a Hard Time while LiL wayne is Getting Money and Fame over Bullshit songs like Lolipop , Millie , pop Bottles. etc etc. EMINEM would Murder LiL wayne in a Freestyle.

    **************************************鈥?br>
    #10) Lil wayne #1 Priority is "MONEY" %26amp; "FAME" Just Look at The Fake *** Doing Rock Now .

    Tell Me how many of Realest Rappers from the past U think would Go and Do ROCK.

    2pac-Rock?? , Biggie-Rock?? Nas-Rock?? Eminem-Rock?? etc etc.

    Money Money Money Money = LiL wayne Weezy F Dipshit !!!

    ******************************
    Because he's "Famous"!!!



    EDIT: Damn maaaaaaad thumbs down because I said he's famous?

    It was a world play with the thread starter people.

    CUTE! My sister would love those. Try ebay's fashion shoes section. They allow you to search by size, brand, condition (new, previously owned), price range, style, heel height, main color, and any other search terms you can think of! You might track them down that way

    AND, if they do not have your size available, click on 鈥?Save this search and alert me later" (just to right of the search box). If you do this, ebay will email you when the item(s) matching your search comes up. Also, you can decide how often they email you with new listings. For example, you could save a search for: size 8 shoes, low heel, brown, coach, under $100 - and you will get an email that will alert you when exactly what you want is available. It鈥檚 a really efficient way to find exactly what you want, without having to surf ebay all day long.

  • My usually very loud, talkative bird slept all day, is this normal?

    i have a 1 1/2 year old cockatiel who is usually a very talkative loud bird but recently she's been laying eggs (3) and going through cuttle bone like crazy. But today she slept all day and didn't peep once...



    she's eating and drinking regularly.

    鈥s this normal?My usually very loud, talkative bird slept all day, is this normal?
    Hello!

    Are you leaving her with the eggs so she doesn't keep laying to replace them?

    The task of replacing every egg you take away might be tiring her out.



    The only thing I would work on is that she doesn't keep laying egg after egg to replace the ones you take :)

    I would read this article about female cockatiels laying

    http://www.cockatielcottage.net/egg_layi鈥?/a>



    Hope it turns out alright :)
    yes it is :]My usually very loud, talkative bird slept all day, is this normal?
    Sometimes when a bird moults,they can be a bit quiet or,if she has been on an egg laying spree,she could very well be exhausted and a bit depressed.

    Do i have brittle bones?

    whenever i sit for 5 minutes, then i get up and start walking my knees, and my feet hurt like crazy? what should i do? why is this happening? i'm only 13, and my parents don't feel this way or my friends.Do i have brittle bones?
    this is something other than brittle bones,

    I'd vote for growing pains, muscles are stretching and aching as the bones are starting a sudden growth spurt, measure your height once a month, to check for this kind of change

    if the pain is crippling and lasts for more than a couple of minutes or so you should check the problem out with a doctor

    there is a remote possibility it could be poor circulation or juvenile arthritis
    noDo i have brittle bones?
    Sounds serious, it may be nothing, but it may be serious too! You are still young, but I have a friend who is 19 and suffers from arthritis. If you have time go to see a doctor...
    brittle bones is someone who breaks bones a lot because your joints hurt it's not brittle bones...are you fat and/or lazy? it could be too much stress on your joints. exercise more otherwise have your parents talk to a doctor.
    go to a dr about that, i hope you dont have osteoperosis at 13!I dout its that serious but start drinking more milk and take calcium suppliments everyday. BUt go ge that checked out hun
    have ur parents take u to the doctor ...youre way too young to be feeling like that ...It could be serious...and they should listen to ur complaints....Tell them Sweetie...you want to go see the doctor
    How do you walk your knees?
    lol don't worry your just growing up that's what happens when your a teen
    Maybe you're hold alot of water? Try not eating so much salty things and see if that helps you. If it keeps up I think you should see a doctor for some advice. I'm sure you're ok but it wouldn't hurt to get it checked. Good luck and i hope you feel ok
    Have your mom take you to her MD. for a check up. There are many things that should be checked. You are probably just fine, but this will keep you from worrying when you have better things to think about. I hope this has helped.
    its not likely you have a bone problem at 13. it might just be "growing pains" or something. if you're really worried try increasing your calcium intake. if you do have a problem, that will prevent it from getting worse. good luck
    It sounds more like a circulation problem. You should ask your doctor about this the next time you go in for a check up. Until then, don't worry too much about it.
    tell your parents to have you checked out for juvenile arthritis sweetie and move more try not to sit so much but if your in pain that needs to be addressed, so please tell your parents.
    a question ur doc should answer. but, are u sitting w/ur knees curled under ur butt?
    Teenage girls with a history of eating disorders have developed the bone-wasting disease osteoporosis, according to the National Osteoporosis Society.

    The society says it has heard of a number of cases of girls in their teens who have got over anorexia only to find the illness has taken its toll on their bones.



    Osteoporosis, which leads to bone fractures, is caused by lack of calcium, regular exercise and vitamin D.



    Experts predict the number of hip fractures in Europe will more than double in the next 50 years as people live longer.



    One in eight Europeans over 50 is expected to suffer from osteoporosis.



    A government-commissioned report on nutrition and bone health, published on Tuesday, recommends several ways for the public, health workers and the government to improve bone health.



    Recommendations



    The main recommendations of the report of the Committee on Medical Aspects (COMA) of Food and Nutrition are:





    People should adopt a healthy lifestyle to maintain bone health;

    People get an adequate calcium intake;

    All ages be encouraged to exercise regularly;

    All ages be encouraged to maintain a healthy body weight;

    Flour continue to be fortified with calcium and that margarine be fortified with vitamin D;

    Public and health workers are better informed about the importance of avoiding vitamin D deficiency, including by the use of vitamin supplements for those most at risk.



    Ms Chisholm said young girls and teenagers were the most deficient in calcium and vitamin D.



    This was because they were so worried about their weight. They tended, for example, to cut out dairy products because they considered them fatty, she said.



    However, low fat products had the same calcium content and sometimes higher levels.



    "Milk is a high source of calcium and girls often find it difficult to make up the amount through other food," said Ms Chisholm.



    The most important time to ensure calcium and vitamin D levels are adequate is while the bones are being formed.



    The NOS has heard of several teenage girls who already have osteoporosis because they had eating disorders.



    But it said diet and exercise could protect people from osteoporosis throughout their life.



    "It's the kind of news people don't want to hear about having a sensible diet and taking regular exercise," said Caroline Chisholm. "It's a commitment for life."
    It's a sign of old age. You need to sit in a rocking chair on the front porch with a blanket over your knees and rock gently while the twittering birds chirp in the trees.

    Who would win in a steel cage deathmatch - Sarah Palin or Ann Coulter?

    Palin looks like she has more meat on her bones, but Coulter strikes me as being batshit crazy in a fight, screeching and clawing. And no, no gun for Palin - this is hand to hand combat.Who would win in a steel cage deathmatch - Sarah Palin or Ann Coulter?
    Coulter, I think will have a reach advantage, but her longer hair could be a liability. Unless she does something about that, Palin can just grab that hair, force her head down, and knee her face into submission. Barring that scenario, I think Culture would win. She looks like shes got the conditioning to go into the later rounds.
    Who the hell cares. Why are you wasting space with such drivel?Who would win in a steel cage deathmatch - Sarah Palin or Ann Coulter?
    Not sure they both are tough girls; one thing I am sure of they would be no match for Chewing Nancy Pelosi. Arent the libs ashamed of her yet?
    I think they would get along quite well. I would like to see them together in a match against Obama. That would be much more entertaining to see him squirm.
    I would win
    That would be hot , but they need to be rolling in oil . That would be Sweeeeet !
    I dont know but I'd bring the Jello and beer!
    They would both kick your wimpy liberal ***. Now go back to sucking d i c k.
    Most people would not really care just so long as one of them winds up dead.

    But it is kind of a dumb question.

    Have you ever wanted to break a bone?

    I've always wanted to break a bone since I was in elementary school and now I'm in high school. I've never broken a bone though. Am I crazy for wanting to? I don't put myself in dangerous situations to try and make it happen but I still think about it (not purposely breaking it, wanting a broken bone)Have you ever wanted to break a bone?
    I also never broken any bones, despite having heavy injuries that could possibly cause bone breakage, so I totally understand how your feel though haha! I also just want to try it.. once, that's all I need! But I guess it's fine if I don't since i heard that bonbreaking is not very pleasant.



    We should consider ourselves lucky for not having any broken bones :) we have too strong bones I guess.
    No, you're not crazy for wanting to break a bone. But I can tell you from experience that breaking a bone is nothing to want to do. In 5th grade, I had my thumb twisted after falling on the floor at a skating ring. My thumb was not straight at all! It was in a bent sideways kind of shape.



    My mother thought it was nothing serious, so for about a week she had me putting ice on my thumb, the swelling didn't go down. Eventually I went to the doctor and I had to wear a cast and then I wore a metal piece that helped to straighten my thumb. 'Til this day, I still have to pop my thumb back into place. I think you just want to see how it feels, and that is understandable.



    Just know that it's not a good position to be in.Have you ever wanted to break a bone?
    Haha when I was like 11 me and my friend used to say how we'd wanna break a bone because it'd be fun to have crutches or wear a cast. Everyone told us we we're crazy and it's not fun at all. I'm 13 and I've still never broken a bone, still curious what it feels like. But I realized I might have a lot of permanent problems if that happened...
    Nope never wanted to break a bone. Never did till a 2 months ago when i shattered my ankle and tibia now its all metal and screws and I won't have full ROM in it again. Be glad u haven't broken one and try not to. :) Trust Me.
    No, it causes permanent problems.
    Wanting one? No. I had one. And you won't like it when it happens, if it does.
    No, because it would hurt really bad. And there's no point going threw a lot of pain
    been there done that... totally over rated
    I've broken my left ulna and it has effected me in the long run. I am an athlete and lifting weights is hard for me, as well as playing sports.

    Would it be cute if I had scene hair but wore preppy clothes?

    I don't mean to sound stereotypical, but I love scene hair and I've always done crazy things with my hair, but I was thinking of doing my hair like Brookelle Bones and I wear insanely preppy clothing (i.e. hollister, a%26amp;f, and sometimes pacsun). Do you think that would look like, phony or something? I kind of think it'd be cute. but idkkkk!Would it be cute if I had scene hair but wore preppy clothes?
    ive seen a few people do this look, and its seemed to work nicely. plus, it would be adding a twist to the scene trend, so i'd say go for it! its really original and a definite way to stand out from other scene and preppy kids.
    Yeah actually it looks really nice. I have scene hair and i wear preppy clothes all the time. It won't look phony at all.And if people do think that . Don't listen to them. If your comfortable in it ; then rock it :) No one ever said it's illegal to be themselves.Would it be cute if I had scene hair but wore preppy clothes?
    There are so many definitions of "scene" you don't have to be "brutal" to be scene. People consider me scene because of my hair and piercings but I wear bright colors and hollister.
    well you are sounding stereotypical.

    poser.
    me too! i think that would be awesome! it would be unique... and unique=epic! lol

    epic=awesome XD lol



    yes, go for it! that would be so cute to see more often!
    no that could definately be cute.

    its good to do your own thing :)

    i dont think it would look phony..
    you'd look just like every other preteen girl out there.

    good job.
    yes
    you'd look like a poser...

  • How to get rid of a dog's seperation anxiety?

    We tried crating and he tried to chew his way out and cut himself up so we leave a marrow bone out but he goes crazy and poops and pees whenever we leave the house. We contacted a trainer that tried some things that didn't work What do i do?



    INFO ON DOG:

    Background: We adopted him back in July from a shelter. He was abandoned and he is 2 or 3 years old. When we take him outside he won't leave your side for a minute and he is really sweet but hasd terrible seperation anxiety.How to get rid of a dog's seperation anxiety?
    If the dog has never been crated before, you have to gradually introduce them to it. You can't just put a dog in a crate and expect that it will be fine.



    I would personally bring this up with your vet and have him recommend a behaviourist, not a trainer.
    My old dog once took my clothes off the washing line and put them in his kennel. That may have been his way of dealing with it. Perhaps give your dog some old clothing (you have just been wearing) to keep him company. A large dog bone usually keeps many a dog busy for hours. I used to leave a radio on for my pet budgerigar for company! Perhaps try out several different types of toys that may take his interest; heard that "kongs" with treats inside can keep them quite busy. Perhaps check out some obedience dog clubs. The company and socialisation may help his confidence and he would more than likely look forward to the routine. If things are just too stressful for him see if you have a neighbour that may like to have him over for company. Elderly or lonely people may appreciate a little company during the day when you are out. Good luck.How to get rid of a dog's seperation anxiety?
    Sometimes any change of environment, say from settling into your home from previously being in a shelter, can trigger feelings of anxiousness and anxiety among pets - both cats and dogs. How long did the trainer work with your dog? Was it just one session, or multiple? The veterinarian that we take our dog too offers behavior classes, you may want to inquire with your Vet so see what they suggest. I've been reading about a brand of pet supplements, Pet Naturals of Vermont. I'm looking into their hip %26amp; joint chews, but they offer both calming chews and another form; calming formula - http://www.ovitaminpro.com/shop-by-conce鈥?/a> Maybe you can consider looking into the benefits of those aids and even suggest them to your dog's vet. I hope this helps!

    Can an abused child make a good marriage partner?

    I met a guy I was crazy about--we were both off the charts (and both over 50). Then, the history: he had been beaten daily by mother and brother, was a juvie delinquent who ran away from home. Grew up to earn a judicial seat. That was great. My background? I shared: physical abuse that involved broken bones plus sexual exploits by grandpa when I was six. I ain't Oprah, but I have a creative mind that earns me a very decent income. Toss these two in a crucible and distrust makes communication volatile. He's divorcing TWICE, and I've never married. What's missing?: TRUST.



    How can I, over 50, find love? Why would I want someone intent on impressing someone 25 years younger? Said guy lied about his marriage status and then accuses me of being controlling and hateful after I found out and asked questions. For me, a 59 year on the prowl for a 35 year old is NOT marriage material. A father with responsibilities of 3 college kids is. What about me? Always the bridesmaid, never trusted.Can an abused child make a good marriage partner?
    My wife was severely abused as a child (no details) We are happy in our marriage and she is an excellent wife and partner. So the answer is yes but it requires patience and understanding. As far as your plight I will wish you the best on finding true love, it is possible and it is possible over 50. But if there is no trust in that one you are crazy about then move on. Lies have no place in a relationship.
    Don't be with a guy that has been divorced...They aren't good marriage matieral in the first place...Don't go out looking for love, cuz you won't find it...Do things and discover things that make you happy....Then love will find you! Good luck :)Can an abused child make a good marriage partner?
    At your age, He is not A good Marriage partner..

    Use him for what he is,A sex toy and leave him!!!!!!!
    Eh, I'm pretty sure you know the answer. And you're right. This man is not a good partner, but not just because he is divorced. Because He had been divorced so many times, and was dishonest about it. I agree with concentrating on yourself. When you least expect it. Love will find ya!
    You've asked a loaded question as far as I'm concerned, so what are you really looking for? You've spend all your adult life as a single person but you've reached an age where most of the men you meet will come with a past. I'm sure you have one yourself, married or not. As for the age difference, so what, that became a non issue at 35. Sounds like you are the one with concerns about the age difference, maybe he has 2 failed marriages because the woman he chose wasn't mature enough for him. My best friends have a 16 year difference between them, she is the oldest of the 2. I've never seen a more together couple. So stop worrying so much about what others think and start thinking about what you want. Only you get to make this decision.
    Abuse is a general term for the use or treatment of something (person, thing, idea, etc.) that causes some kind of harm (to the abused person or thing, to the abusers themselves, or to someone else) or is unlawful or wrongful. Its close synonyms are mistreatment and maltreatment. The word "misuse" has a more distant meaning of incorrect, uneducated use, not necessary harmful.



    Abuse can be something as simple as damaging a piece of equipment through using it the wrong way, or as serious as severe maltreatment of a person. Abuse may be direct and overt, or may be disguised and covert.



    Several types of abuse include:



    Sexual abuse: The improper use of another person for sexual purposes, generally without their consent or under physical or psychological pressure (which may include children whether abused by parents, those in loco parentis or strangers).

    Physical abuse: Where one person inflicts physical violence or pain on another.

    Emotional abuse or psychological abuse: coercion, humiliation, intimidation, relational aggression, parental alienation or covert incest: Where one person uses emotional or psychological coercion to compel another to do something they do not want, or is not in their best interests; or when one person manipulates another's emotional or psychological state for their own ends (see battered person syndrome), or commits psychological aggression using ostensibly non-violent methods to inflict mental or emotional violence or pain on another.

    Drug abuse: the misuse of drugs, alcohol or other substances, usually a form of addiction.

    Child abuse: Abuse, usually physical, emotional or sexual, directed at a child.

    What does it mean that we are made in God's image? I know He can't mean flesh and bones like He made Adam.?

    Ok....me and some people had a discussion about God....they actually believe GOD THE FATHER....is made of flesh and bones just like Jesus...but I told them no...and they gave me scripture about...how He had hands and feet and so on...I'm not denying that at all...I truly believe in my heart that He has hands and stuff...but I think it is really deep to comprehend and understand because he is God of course and he is only going to reveal so much because I believe some people aren't ready and if He does and you tell somebody else they will think were crazy...but anyway I believe God is a spirit.....I explained to them that there is a total difference between essence and manifestation of God...and can't he take the shape of anything......and of course God is God he can do anything...so ummm anyway I need help..explaining to them that God is not made of flesh and bones...once you say that...you might as well throw Christianity out of the window...because that means he was created...Thanks...discuss with love :)What does it mean that we are made in God's image? I know He can't mean flesh and bones like He made Adam.?
    God is spirit and so are we and his words speak life (they are spirit and life)

    we too are spirit and our words create~good or evil~
    Since humans are flawed, god is also flawed.What does it mean that we are made in God's image? I know He can't mean flesh and bones like He made Adam.?
    Man was created in God's spiritual image.
    we have great potential..
    God doesn't have hands or eyes or feet; God is a spiritual being without form or body, and He is far greater than any physical being. Sometimes the Bible speaks about God's hands or eyes, but when it does, it is using symbolic language to convey some truth about His activity: "For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him" (2 Chronicles 16:9).



    When the Bible says God created the human race in His image, it means that God put His character or imprint on our souls or spirits. We aren't God—but we are like Him (although limited). Because of this, we have the ability to love, and to know right from wrong. Because we bear God's image, we are different from the animals, and all human life is sacred.



    The tragedy is that God's image within us has been defaced and twisted by sin (although not destroyed). But Christ came to make us whole, and someday "we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is" (1 John 3:2). In the meantime, make it your goal to grow closer to Christ and serve Him with all of your life.

    The bible is not real. It is a book of fiction and everything in it from the old to new testament was ripped off from previous cultures, Persians, Babylonians;Etc. And Jesus never existed.



    I might believe there is a God as a Deist/Pantheist, but I still see no evidence.
    when it says image, it means that we were given some aspects that God had, such as having emotions



    God has feelings and so do we.



    God think for himself, so can we.



    God can create a work of art, so can we.





    It doesn't mean we were actually made in his shape and form. We were made i his likeness
    it's what ever Chris says.
    2 things are seperate: the body and soul/spirit.



    The sould is the important thing whereas the body is not. The body is temporary the soul is eternal. The spirit of God can be in the form of a man just as you are.
    We are a trinity and God is a trinity.



    We are spirit, soul, and body.

    No, of course not. Biologically we are made in the image of other primate creatures. But we also have a spiritual nature that is an intergal part of being human, and it is our spiritual nature that makes us in God's image and likeness.
    If we were in his image, we'd be invisible too.
    God made man in his image. Those are the words. But they could be interpreted differently...If for example, God had his own vision, like an artist, of how he wanted humans to be formed and appear, then he would create them in 'his image' meaning he made them according to his divine artistic vision.

    Or, it simply means, and I think this is more likely, that he made human bodies to closely resemble his own. Like you, I believe that God is more spirit than flesh, but capable of appearing to us, as anything he might wish. Jesus was God's physical manifestation on Earth, his physical representative and messenger and a gift to us.
    God, the father, is the greatest soul. It's only in this capacity that we are made in "his image". Each and every one of us has a soul that is made in his/her image. That soul is our true self.



    It's true that we are Soul, Spirit and Body while in this physical existence. Our physical self is simply the temporary housing for our spirit body and within that, our soul. When the physical body returns the elements from which it came, our spirit body, an extension of our soul will remain.
    You are correct.



    1. God is spirit.

    John 4:24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth."



    2. Spirits do not have flesh and bones.

    Luke 24:39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.



    The Bible does talk about traits of God. This doesn't mean God is a great big chicken though!

    Matthew 23:37 "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing.



    So, how are we like God's image?

    We have some similar qualities. One commentary mentioned love and joy.

    Genesis 5:1 This is the written account of Adam's line. When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God.



    Another commentary mentioned we were originally made pure and without sin

    Ecclesiastes 7:29 This only have I found: God made mankind upright, but men have gone in search of many schemes."



    The image is broken, but it is being restored

    2 Corinthians 3:18 And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
    You are partially right. ADAM was made in the distinct image of God.

    "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. " [Genesis 1:27].



    but Adam and Eve were the ONLY two humans made directly by God. ALL of the rest of us were made by the act of sexual reproduction. So technically, while ADAM is made in the image of God, WE are made in the image of ADAM. But Adam Is the distinct and accurate image of God, and thus so are we, by inheritance.



    But to think that God "can't . . . take the shape of anything" is totally false. There are MANY instances where God took the shape of a MAN. "Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden " [Genesis 3:8] How did God make sound while moving in the garden unless He was fully physically manifested? God physically manifested himself to Abraham in Genesis 18, and God wrestled with Jacob in Genesis 32. [There are MANY theologians that believe that "THE Angel of God" spoken about in the Old testament, was actually appearances of Jesus.]



    But in John 4:24, Jesus himself says that "God is spirit". So what happened? It would appear that God changed his mind! [God can change his MIND, but His NATURE never changes.] Since He has Jesus working for Him on earth, I guess there is no longer any reason for God to appear PHYSICALLY, but that is my guess. The bible never explains why God no longer appears physically.



    But JESUS is flesh and bone, having been born of an earthly woman. But that doesn't make him "not God". This is how The Trinity works!



    Even YOU are a trinity! You have a physical body, a soul (your "personality"), and a spirit (or life force). ["spirit" and "soul are NOT the same thing, see Hebrews 4:12]. Separate any of the three from the other two, and you cease to exist! But if we are made in God's Image, through Adam, then why would you NOT believe that God is ALSO a trinity? God has a body (Jesus), a soul (God "himself") and a Holy Spirit. but God, being God, has abilities that we, being human, do not. We cannot separate body, soul, and spirit lest we die. God IS capable of having all three of his "parts" operating separately and independently -- Jesus on earth, God the Fatehr in Heaven, and the Holy Spirt working everywhere.



    Sound like you need to do some REAL study, reading your bible CLOSELY, before popping off these weird ideas.
