Resolved Question: My Newly adopted cat?

I have just adopted an 8 year old cat from the RSPCA, she was a stray who was found collapsed on someones doorstep, dehydrated, bless her. I was after an indoor cat due to living on a fairly busy road, my back garden is fairly secure but she could get out if she really wanted to. I was advised that she would be an ideal indoor cat and if I did go out in the Summer for example she would be happy to follow me around the garden................ She has been with us a week and has been so good, using her litter tray and being really content BUT she meows all night and settles when you cuddle her but then gets off after a short time, if you shut the door on her she scratches at the floor. We have realised she doesn't see very well (I wasn't told this) and she doesn't hear very well either (I wasn't told this either!). She has taken to sniffing the air through the window - bless her and she scratches at the door, which is a real pain as you cannot leave any doors open and have to make sure she isn't anywhere near the doors, etc, etc. I feel bad for her as she was a stray and used to being outside so I bought her a harness and walked her around the garden this morning she was really nervous and hid under the trampoline once I had coaxed her out of this she did walk around a bit but wanted to climb, etc. When I bought her back indoors she cried to go out again, much needed advice wanted please, I feel cruel not letting her out and the nightly meowing is very stressful.

Resolved Question: How safe is it to do a backflip without a spotter? And what do I use to protect myself?

I want to learn how to do a basic backflip but my garden is certainly not big enough for a trampoline and it's not possible to go to a gymnastics centre as you have to pay for a course where you start off just doing cartwheels and boring stuff like that. I used to do the gymnastics, but after a month, it was incredibly boring nd I wasn't learning anything! None of my friends or siblings would want to take the time out to spot me so I want to learn how to do it be myself! Will I injure myself?

Resolved Question: What are some unique, fun attractions near Fort Myers, FL?

We will be visiting Fort Myers, FL in late April and I've found nothing but beaches when looking for things to do. I really would like to go to Orlando because of all the amusement parks, Ripley museums, and just fun and unique things. I need some help finding those. We will be staying somewhere in Fort Myers, and would be willing to drive about an hour.

Resolved Question: 14th Birthday Party Sleep-out On Trampoline? Help :) x?

My birthdays in may and i know its abit early to be planning. but better early then late ;) For my party, i was thinking on inviting 7 people so its 8 with me, i might have a BBQ and i'll put on my chocolate fountain so we can have dinner and pudding. Also, im getting a trampoline tent as a present so we're going to sleep out on my trampoline. But i live on a farm.. so it might be scary. i might take out my laptop so we can watch movies. and possibly fairy lights to make it cuter. Before we go to sleep we can hang out in my room, watch tv, play with my pets, go on the wii. and im going to have music playing outside so hopefully the neighbours wont get annoyed. Got any more ideas of what to do and make the sleeping part less scary? i also want a theme but not to childish because its my 14th. any colour themes? black and silver? How can i make my garden more summery too? i have two dogs so the gardens a mess lol. Oh. and my trampolines 14ft. think that can fit 8 people? were not insanely big so hopefully we'll be fine. know anywhere to get a tent for the trampoline..? Thank you :) x

Resolved Question: Name Game. Suggest some names?

In this game there are three families which are very different. All you have to do is describe each family: Name them, age them and describe them! They can be whatever you like!! FAMILY ONE is super posh and very rich too. They own three large houses - one in Los Angeles, one in Madagascar and one in London.They are all quite snobby but are nice once you get to know them. FAMILY TWO are practically the opposite to family one. They live in a small flat in London, just about managing to pay their rent each week.Although they have money troubles they are a really kind, loving family. FAMILY THREE are just your average family. They live in a three bedroom house with a reasonable sized back garden with a trampoline. They are a very fashionable family but that doesn't mean they spend loads as they are bargain hunters.They are all nice but a little shy. Although these three families are so different, there is one thing that draws them together which is that each family has a 13 year old daughter and when they met eachother at school, they instantly became best friends. Good luck! Georgia x

Resolved Question: Wind damage insurance claim?

I awoke this morning to find that during the course of the evening/night, the children's 14ft trampoline (which had been tied down) had blown away taking with it their climbing frame, and playhouse (which had breeze blocks inside! and landed on their see saw. I have lived here for several years and can't believe it has happened. This morning i spoke to my insurance company who have a claim limit of £500, The damaged items far out total this. They have also said that unless the winds were over 55mph then they won't pay out. I have taken pictures of the garden, and are now in the process of tidying up, as i can't leave things lying around. This is a genuine claim, I feel so upset that my children have lost their items which i cannot afford to replace, and tried to make secure as we live in the mountains and the winds gather and become stronger. If they refuse to pay because the winds weren't up to a certain limit, it is still responsible for the damage, is there anything I can do?? They will never get all their items back - but If I can replace some they would be so happy. Thank you Acermill - we did secure everything - it has worked for the last few years in stronger winds - the only thing I can think of is that the amount of rain we have had lately softened the ground.

Resolved Question: Is it good to practise meditation outside?

Hi, I want to start doing a regular meditation in the morning - just 20 minutes of quiet breathing or so. I used to do it indoors but I think the air is too stuffy inside and I thought fresh air might be better. However Paul Wilson and other gurus of meditation suggest having your own calm space, say a corner of a room, where you won't be disturbed, which I guess is harder when you are out in the garden. I would have to meditate on the trampoline using cushions so that the dog can't jump on me while I'm meditating. Any thoughts and/or experiences?

Voting Question: I'm prepared to tell a guy I like him, problem being how do I get him away from my friends?

My mum has agreed to having a house-warming party at our home and I've invited some friends, one of which is a guy I like, he's also the son of one of my dad's closest friends, so you get the picture. We've known each other a while and since I lay eyes on him we connected. I plan to tell him when he comes to the party that I like him but I want to tell him outside in my garden away from everyone else, but how do I get him away from my friends. The teenagers ranging from ages 14-17, will be in the loft conversion on the wii and chatting etc but I need to get him down from the loft and into the garden with a reasonable excuse without having people trailing after. I'm thinking of asking him whether he could help me carry some things from downstairs, upstairs and then take him out the back and confess my feelings, but I don't want to seem all weird and creepy and like: Come into my garden...(witchy voice) I was also thinking if I could take him outside and we could go on my big trampoline because then when we're all tired out I can just sort of flop next to him and tell him how I feel, sounds romanticish? If not does anyone have any other good ideas that I could use? Thank you for reading and now mean comments or time wasters :)

Resolved Question: Christmas Ideas for a 22mth old?

Hiya, was wondering if anyone had any ideas on what to get my 21mth old son for xmas, I am not wanting to spend too much maybe about £200 at the most, so far I have thought of a trampoline you know the indoor ones with the bar that they hold onto whilst bouncing around we dont have a garden so outdoor toys are out! A few DVDs, Books, an Easel to draw and paint, big trucks with flashing lights and sounds etc, can anyone else think of anything specific that their child liked around this age, links would be great! Many thanks! i was just saying £200 is my very most budget, so if I dont spend that much all the better - it is true he has alot of toys already so I just wanted to buy him a few substantial things instead of loads of small things, as for the trampoline most of them say 3+ http://www.mulberrybush.co.uk/toy-store/detail-trampoline.aspx

Resolved Question: Putting a tramoline on concrete?

I bought a 10 foot trampoline for my niece for Christmas. They only have concrete in their garden so I'm worried about her safety and the safety of other children that might go on it. Of course I got a safety net for it, but is this enough?. Is there a possibility that it could move when the kids are on it and topple over or something like that? I'm considering getting mats to go underneath it in case someone was to get take a spill, is this a good idea? Also roughly how long will it take for us to put it together? Thanks in advance.

Resolved Question: I've broken a second Sansa Fuze! Please, dear god, help me!?

I had a Sansa fuze 4g for easter from my nan and I LOVED IT! It was such a cool, easy to use, funky little MP3. Then the screen went a very washed out blue colour and it stopped working, this was only a month after I got it, so my parents went through sending it back, finally, after six months, i got a new one, that was about two weeks ago. Tonight I went out on the trampoline in our garden and was listening to my music. Then the song stopped I took it out of my pocket and the screen was a dark blue, it still is. That was over an hour ago, i can't turn it off or connect it to my computer. I need to fix it quick or my mother is going to be-head me when she finds out it's broken. Please help me! Can I fix it myself or do I lose my head? It's not smashed up but it just won't work, it doesn't look like theres anything wrong with the stupid thing!

Resolved Question: Idea for a seven year old girl's birthday party?

I'm organising my younger sister's 7th birthday, my family want it to be special, as she's never had a party with friends before. It is going to be at home, and our garden has very limited space (trampoline and deck take up most of it) so we will not be able to organise a big event outside. Our TV is small and ancient, so a movie watching party is not possible either.

Resolved Question: How can I get my neighbourss to keep their dogs from relieving themselves on my lawn when they don't listen?

I have been having issues with a specific neighbor for a few years now. Anyways the latest thing that the neighbors from hell have done is buy two dogs. For the last few months I have noticed that my grass in my front lawn has been dying and have wondered why because I spend a lot of time/money in up keeping it. Well two months ago I noticed my neighbor take her dogs (keep in mind she is not a teenager, she is in her mid to late 50's) to the side of the house and allow them to pee on the side of my house, not theirs. I kindly told her that I think that it is disgusting and that she has a nice LARGE backyard (it is big enough to hold 2 trampolines) where the dogs can do their business as my children play in the front and I don't want them exposed to that. She said that it wasn't a problem and that it was a one time thing because they were busy that day and the dog had to go really bad and that it won't happen again. A week ago my 4 year old daughter came up to me with a brown object in her hand showing me her new "pet" while I was gardening. It was a piece of dog poop, and I was really upset. I wanted to give my neighbor the benefit of the doubt since she told me that she wouldn't do it again but I just couldn't stop myself from getting upset because my children play in the yard and I have a little one who puts everything in his mouth. So I set up my video camera in the front and sure enough when I hit the play back I saw my neighbor walk out of her house take her two dogs and walk onto my lawn and hold their leashed there until they did their business and then left without picking up the poop of the one dog because it ventured closer to my house. I have already talked to her about it and she still has not listened and I'm really upset that this is carrying on when she knows my concerns and knows that there are children in the house that play in the yard. I prefer my kids to be in the front as there is just country behind my house and so we do have rodents in the back. IS there anything that I can do to keep the dogs or my neighbor off my lawn? I heard that pepper is suppose to keep the dogs off but I'm worried about hurting them, I don't want to punish the dogs because they don't know any better. I just want this all to end and have tried talking it through but she just wont listen, so whats next?

Resolved Question: If you were given £1000, what would you do?

I am a 14 year old girl, and because things were hard for my family, financially, around the time of my birthday, I had to give all of the money I got on my brithday to my parents, to help pay the bills. Things were very hard. The money was about £350. And also, since my dad lost his well-paid job, they had to stop my allowence, and there was only enough for neccessities. I did a paper-round for about a year, to try and help...even if it was only a little. So, my parents have now sold our apartment, which was very expensive, and we are moving to the suburbs, to a cheaper house, with a huge garden! My dream come true lol. My dad got a new, better job, and i think things are going to be better from now on. So my mum has promised to give me £1000, to spend on whatever i want to! Now, i'm going to buy a 14' trampoline for the garden, and my parents said i could get a dog :) i will probably give some to charity too, but what else could i do? what would u spend it on?

And on weekdays i usually drink 2 small bottles of sparkling water a glass of freash orange juice, a few glasses of sugar free orange squash and 1or 2 cans of pepsi. I'm quite lazy however i do have a trampoline in my back garden which is 18ft and i useually go on it like once a week for like an hour.

Basically, im 16 in a month and have been thinking about a party for it. My parents said i could have a party in the garden and then people could stay over cause we have a tepee that i could use. Im not allowed any alcohol or drugs so i was thinking of having about 25 people, with a BBQ, my trampoline, loud music, twister and then helium balloons, and have people write notes on them and send them off with the balloons Does this sound like a fun idea? Also, if people are staying over afterwards noise levels will have to be down by 11.30 so what could i arrange for people to do in the night time cause in reality no one will sleep until very early hours of the morning (be serious with your suggestions please!)

our family loves party, plus my sister is going abroad the end of this month, so i am intending to hold a summer/farewell party in our garden.i am going to purchase a bouncy castle or trampoline, i was surprised that i saw some bouncy castle with water slides, it is just for summer! but it's hard to make a decision, this website provides some with water slide, which is the best? http://www.yescomusa.com/home.php?cat=72 And we've already got a shade sail and a list of snacks and drinks to buy, of course a special gift for my sister. then what else should i prepare? Any suggestion will be welcomed. would someone please tell me?

Resolved Question: Want a good exercise routine for this summer?

I am a 13 year old girl, and I want to get into a good exercise routine for summer. Seeing as it's the holidays now, I have a lot of free time. I would go to the gym, but I cant because the gym in town, you need a membership, and it's way too expensive. I also have a trampoline in my garden, so if you could give me ideas of what to do on there that would be good. Im also going to France on the 13th August till the 23rd August so I'll be swimming there, and they have a gym on site, which me and my sister are going to go to, but before and after I go away I wanna get into a routine. Any ideas? Please? x

Resolved Question: My neighbours problem with my boys trampoline?

summer hols are here, kids off school full of energy, i invested in a 12 ft trampoline for my 13yr old and his pals to burn off energy and occupy them, My neighbour and me are separated by a 7ft secure fence, he has complained that the height they reach when jumping is an invasion of his privacy, as he has a rear window which is visible when the boys reach maximum height, he also eats and reads in his garden most of the day. ive never complained at the racket his family make when hosting bbqs, so im pretty annoyed at the guy for forgetting this ! should i now show zero tolerance towards any noise coming from his place ?

Resolved Question: Neighbour keeps intruding into my garden... help plz!?

Today i returned home early only to find my neighbour bouncing on my trampoline .... AGAIN!! This isn't the first time he has done this and has intruded into my garden many times before! Today was the final nail in the coffin, as to top it all off he was wearing a lycra body suit and he doesn't have a pound in the right place. I went ouside and started shouting at him and told him to stop, he continued and guess what? HE WENT THROUGH MY F***ING TRAMPOLINE!!! He then had the neck to ask me to help hawl him up. He had music blaring from his house he then got up ran towards me and did a dance in my face. I was so shocked i was speechless, he then ran, jumped and fell over the wall head first. But he was ok he got up and went into his own house.About 5 minutes later i seen him climbing over the wall once again but when i shouted out the window at him he stopped, what can i do to stop this man coming into my garden? I went out to the shop and have just returned, to find my neighbour has just finished washing himself with my garden hose and has put bath foam in my jacuzzi and jumped in. There are bubbles everywhere. What can i do to stop this pest constantly taking advantage of my property?

Resolved Question: camp out sleepover ideas - 13 year olds ?

im putting a tent up in my back garden, and inviting 6 friends - we're all 13. we have a big back garden, and also a deck right by the house. the garden is quite a way away from the house- there's a bit of a rockery until you get to the lawn. it wouldnt be safe to walk up/down the rockery in the dark. could we put the tent on the deck ? anyhow, i'm planning on asking all the girls to bring a sleeping bag and pillow. im going to organise duvets/sleeping bags/pillows too :) i think i'll take food/drink into the tent so i dont have to go back into the house. i'll probli try and get bottles to save ppl spilling stuff - but spills dont matter too much. i was planning on doing crisps/sweets nd that. i'll probli do pizza's a bit earlier on. they're my ideas so far. im looking for ideas for games nd stuff -seeing as we're outside we cant watch tv or a movie. oh, i suppose we could go on our trampoline - it has a safety net too :) all ideas welcome, whatever the subject :) thanks :) x

Resolved Question: party/gathering on a trampoline?

ok... just say i had a 16 foot trampoline, and i decided to have a shindig at my house but on my trampoline so my house doesn't get trashed... whats the biggest amount of people it would be safe to have on a trampoline? (in their late teens) i dont really want that many people anyway..... so maybe i could just have around 20 or something because i think people would find the trampoline by themselves anyway, as it takes up my whole garden...? and also, if there was alcohol, would people be more likely to get sick on a trampoline? (as i've never tried it...) oh and btw its a safe trampoline with a net all round it so i wouldnt have to worry about people falling off or anything, its just falling through which might be a problem if theres too many people. so pretty much i just want your opinion :) ps. the most i think theres ever been on the trampoline is around 5 people (including 3 adults)

Resolved Question: Sweet 16th Birthday party?

My 16th birthday is in October and I have no idea what to do. Most of my friends have really laid-back parents that let them go clubbing until 4 am (I live in Cyprus where people just don't give a damn and IDs might as-well not exist). I have been to a few of these parties. After the most recent one, however, I had a bit of a hang-over and my mum found out I'd been drinking & stayed out way after my curfew. So there's no way I'd be able to go to a club for my birthday. I have no idea what to do. I'm not allowed a house party but I'm allowed around 20 people over. I have a pool (which might be too cold in October), a trampoline & a large garden. My friend suggested getting a big gazebo/tent type thing & having a party in there then maybe set up sleeping bags in the gazebo. I'm just worried that compaired to all the club parties, mine will be boring. Any ideas or tips will be very welcome!!! =D 10 points for best answer!

Resolved Question: How can I get rid of troublesome youths?

It's not that long I promise. you get the general idea from the first paragraph. Okay the other day, it was raining really hard so I went to get the washing in off the line. Then, I noticed about 10 youths aged roughly 8 - 13 in my bushes at the back of the garden. I asked them to get out of the hedges and not play in them. They claimed they were taking shelter from the rain. They live about 2 minutes away, they all had bikes so I said for them to go home instead because they are in my garden. Then they were stating how it is not my garden and the bush is part of the field behind my house. At this point I just left them, I could not be bothered. I started to watch T.V then I heard several loud bangs. They were kicking and throwing things at the metal gate that blocks the field from my garden. I ran out and shouted "Oi, piss off!" - this wasn't the best idea they then continued to shout insults etc... After this they lingered in the field some more playing games etc... The next day. They were out there again just playing like normal kids. My sister then went out onto the trampoline and once again they started throwing stuff at the gate. My mother shouted and they swore at her etc... The usual. They then stopped. Today, nothing happened. I'm not saying that this is because they have just got bored of it. I am thinking that it's because it was raining and there were only about 3 of them out today playing with a football. I am dreading tomorrow. My girlfriend is staying over and I don't want them being a bunch of complete idiots outside. I am dreading that they may actually come into my garden. - Can I use physical force legally to get them out of my garden? I just really need ways of getting them away if they spark up trouble. It's a Friday night so God knows what will be going on out there. I am absolutely dreading it. We can't put a fence up or anything until Saturday. So yeah, if you need more details let me know. Please help. I just need ways of getting them away when they spark up trouble. I have yet to try ignoring them though. According to my Father, that is the best way. Thanks all - sorry it was so damn long - I just really need help! I'm 17. I'm not old. I just really need to have a nice night in. Not standing outside fighting off childish wankers.
