I wrote a rap song about my country, what do you think?

I'm sick of havin' this ****


and who has ever predicted


that someday we'd solve the conflict


between us and all the Arabics


I want all the civilians to insist on our lands


instead of sittin' and keep crossin' their hands


and when "The Peace" should finally come


I'm tired of looking for a dome


'cause all the Kassams follow me


it's not the way that I want it to be


we are not secure as long as Gaza exists


that's why we see our future through the mist


we have to fight against them tooth and nail


do or die, it's strictly forbidden us to fail


parents enlist their son into the Army to protect


while they grit their teeth, watch TV and so upset


recently we've become a target for all these rockets


I'm Pondering over that,is our tranquility hard to get


people's blood sheds for nothing it's hard to digest


it's a pang like a knife pierces deeply into my chest

Why don't people tip groomers??

they preform a sevice like waiters, hair%26amp;nail dressers, even grocery sackers!!! but our "clients" bite,pull,fight us tooth and nail, their is probably is like 1/2 of 1% of dogs that get groomed that behave well. i'm just real curious why? the groomers i know love animals and their jobs but we work hard and really appreciate tips, :)

Why don't people tip groomers??
I can't complain. I currently get plenty of tips....and they are very much appreciated...and very much deserved.





I currently groom under commission for a local vet. My tips make a world of difference in my income. I sold my own grooming salon last year to relocate to another state. I had 4 groomers working in my salon. They all worked under commission and they all received fairly good tips. When business was slow in the off season...I turned clients over to my groomers to make sure they still got the commission and tips while I took the loss. I...as an owner...also certainly %26amp; readily received tips for dogs I exhaused myself over. The tips helped to cover all the over head costs so I could actually have alittle cash in my pocket after paying for rent, supplies, equipment, equipment maintanence, shampoos, phones, water, electric, bathers, receptionists, accountants, attorneys, advertising, office supplies, IRS, etc.





We groomers are hair dressers...with a few major differences. We don't just cut the hair on top of some ones head. We cut our clients hair from head to toe to tail tip. We get bitten, peed on, pooped on, puked on. We get beat up by big dogs. We get uncontrollable little dogs. We get insane cats. We get table dancers. We get fainters. We get geriatric dogs that cannot balance themselves on 4 feet. When we finish a dog and he poops all over him self because the owner didn't take the time to walk him before bringing him in...we have to do the dog all over again. We get fleas. We get ticks. Sometimes we get maggots. We struggle with mats. I can go on and on. On a rare occasion we might even get a good little dog that just stands there and lets us do our job. Sometimes I do under charge...all more reason to be offered and accept a tip. Tell me the last time a well tipped hairdresser had a little old lady bite her, pee on her and then jump out of her chair and try to escape while she was in the middle of getting a perm.





I think I definately deserve to get a tip. I also want to note....I keep a record on client files of who and who does not tip. Although every clients dog gets the best quality clip....my tippers do get top priority when it comes to fitting them in for appointments during busy season....having them choose the best check in times and go home times....discounted prices....freebies....etc. Tipping does have it's rewards.





Equestrian....Groomers ARE beauticians...beauticians with a much more difficult job....and I don't think your answer touched a nerve with me....I think your answer HIT a nerve...HARD!
Reply:i do
Reply:God, I always have. And tipped them well I may add!!!!!!!!!
Reply:who says they don't the groomer I work with gets tips all the time. maybe the groomer who you refer to needs to do a better job.
Reply:People who don't tip groomers are some of the same people who don't tip in other places also. I think its more of people being cheap than anything else. If your the groomer thats not getting tipped, your clients are jerks.
Reply:I don't have a dog. :( but if I do some day and I have to take my dog to the groomer I'll take your consideration.
Reply:Actually I never even thought about tipping the groomer. If they don't charge enough to cover the cost of doing business then I figure it's their problem. Think about it - if we are supposed to tip everyone who provides a service then we would be broke. I only tip people that have jobs that traditionally count on them - waiters/waitresses, pizza delivery, beauticians (but only if they are not the shop owner). Sorry, I think this question touched a nerve with me.


Advice on my 8 month old?! Please!?

I have a 9mo. old son.He has slept through the night since he was about 3mo.We got in a routine: he would go to bed at 10 pm, wake at around 8a.m,take a bottle, go back to sleep until 10-10:30a.m.Lately he's been teething. Last week he was so fussy with that 3rd one I thought I would pull my hair out! And, he started waking up at around 6 a.m., taking a bottle, going back to sleep, and getting up around 9. He was also refusing food; bottle and solids both.So, he finally got the tooth and on that same day he had a 9 month check up and the doc tells me that he has 2 ear infections.I started him on the antibiotics and he was much happier within 2 days.The problems now is he is still not wanting his solids, at all, and he barely wants his bottle.He'll drink a little, throw a fit and fight me tooth and nail not to take it, then he wants it %26amp; starts all over! And, he's still not sleeping as well!(That's prolly jus me!) What more can I do? How much Tylenol can 23lb. 9 mo. old for ear pain?

Advice on my 8 month old?! Please!?
Try motrin- not only does it work better, it will last longer!


Origel makes an over-night gel that also works well. That might help him sleep for long periods.


Munchkin makes a ring w/ a sack that you can place frozen food in- if he's still teething, try that- so that he can suck on it and also get some vitamins that way (I recommend fruit or veggies).


When babies are sick, they like to nurse more often- but usually taking in smaller amounts. During the day try to feed him every hour or so, even if he doesn't drink a lot. As far as getting him to eat solids- try giving him some fruit or something that he usually enjoys eating. For my daughter, yogurt, sugar free jello or pudding worked well.


I wish you luck.
Reply:You know what? I have an 8 month old daughter so I know your pain. But I've found that Tylenol just does not help at all with teething pain! Can your son have motrin? Because I've found (and have been told by many other mommies) that Motrin works WONDERS on teething pain.





I don't have any tylenol here to check out their directions, but if you want to know about the Motrin, the recommended dosage for your son would be between 1.25mL and 1.875mL of the intended dropper.





Yikes girl, I hope your son gets to feeling better! Teething pain is nerve grating on both baby and mom, plus the added ear infections just make it worse! Good luck to ya!
Reply:Follow the directions on the Tylonol bottle and call the doctor when the offices open to follow up.
Reply:If he seems hungry but won't take it after a few minutes it may be hurting his ear. Even though he had the antibiotic he can still be very sore. Try sitting him up more to give him a bottle so maybe it wont hurt so much to drink. As for the solids, be sure he is not getting a bottle too close to the time for his solids. If he has a bottle less than two and half hours prior to solids he won't really be hungry so he won't eat. Hope this helps.
Reply:According to the Tylenol chart my dr office gave me for 23 lbs Tylenol Infant Drops 1.2 mL (www.tylenol.com can give you infor on 24-35 lbs, also you can call your pharamcy and obviously dr) My son is 17 mo old and he had been sleeping through the night until the teething started. Then he had a pattern for getting up during the night, he still does it, but I don't mind. As for the eating solids again, he will when he is ready, don't push, offer his fav's if he eats, he eats, if he doesn't then offer again in a little while. When they teeth their ears can get infections usually pretty easily, and sometimes their throats get swollen too. Try offering him something cold. I found that Krogers carries mini popsicles on a stick, perfect for little slobbering boys. Also see if you can find some teething tablets, they worked wonders for my son.
Reply:I recommend the Infant's Motrin Dye-Free berry Flavored Drops over the Tylenol for pain. My sis is an ER nurse and she says that's what they use. Just look at the bottle and weight/dosage recommendations.





Also... you might want to prop your son up a bit instead of having him lay flat on his back. I heard that with ear infections the pressure of lying on the back hurts really bad.
Reply:I was told by a pediatrician that once my baby girl started teething she would refuse any type of food - solids, as well as milk. Their sleeping pattern changes too. My daughter slept through the night since she was 3 months, now every other day she'll get up around 11pm, 2 am and sometimes 4 am, her bed time is 8pm. Yesterday, I almost pulled my hair out, she work up at 3 and didn't go back to sleep until around 6 am. She was so exhuasted that she was having a hard time falling asleep. Just hang in there, it will get better, remember they are going through alot of pain. I heard that Motrin works wonders too so try that. talk to your ped first. Good luck.
Reply:ear infections can make it painful to suck on a bottle. I know it sounds wierd but its true. also the antibiotic could be giving him a tummy ache. dont worry he will get through it, give him baby orajel for his teething pain and tylenol for his ear pain. the ear pain should be gone very soon.
Reply:get a teething ring, or something else semi soft put it in the freezer so it gets cold, and give the baby that for the teething issue, it will soothe it some so he aint so cranky about it, and maybe even make him more able to eat once hes been chewing on it for a little while(my aunt used to use small bagels because its a little safer then it popping the teething ring if the liquid isnt just reg water in it). Tylenol they have the dropper thing usually for the baby, and you usually give it 0.4, or whatever is almost closest to the lowest amount.. call the doctor to be sure how much to give him, but chances are the tylenol isnt going to help much, it never did my kid.
Reply:Sounds like you're just not catching a brake anywhere!!23lb 9mo old can have 1 tsp tylenol although I have always found motrin more effective. Same amount. They have infant motrin(1.8 ml is the dose for that) but the childrens always worked better. Tylenol also can cause stomach irritation.Try giving him the pain reliever anout 30minutes before feeding. Swallowing will irritate the ears if the pain is dulled he may handle it a bit better. Hang in there it will return to normal.At night teething gel may help him sleep too.


How do I get my toddler to eat???? HELP!!?

I never thought I'd be in this situation w/my 17.5 month old. She was such a good eater, not a big one, but a good one. There was no fruit or veggie that I put in front of her that she wouldn't eat. Now, thats a totally different story. In the past month she has fought me tooth and nail about food, she got sick this past week and is now feeling better. Since then she has barely eaten a thing. I refuse to give in, and feed her sweets or bad food. I've always been against it. I don't mind giving her wheat cracker or bread, but I can't seem to get her to eat anything except cheerios and milk or a couple of pieces of apple. Does anyone have any fast, easy, healthy food or meal ideas for my 17.5 month old...by the way she has 4 full teeth and a couple just poking thru so I worry about choking hazardous foods.

How do I get my toddler to eat???? HELP!!?
Kids go through phases where they eat all the time, to refusing to eat. Dont worry, she wont starve. My son does it all the time. Worried me at first until his doctor reasured me that its normal. If you really want to know, go to this site, http://www.babycenter.com/refcap/toddler... it is a great article and should help you.
Reply:I don't have meal ideas, but here is an interesting article I found when searching for an answer to my 2 yr olds lack of appetite.


EATING


Parents of two-year-olds frequently complain that they can't get their children to eat. The fact is, however, toddlers generally manage to take in enough calories and nutrients to grow and gain weight at a normal rate, and often want to be in control of what they eat, not to mention the actual process of feeding themselves! Here are some examples of what a typical toddler eats in a day:


One pint of milk. While whole milk is generally recommended for children under the age of two, you may decide to use 2 percent for your two-year-old. If you are concerned about your child gaining too much weight, however, be sure to discuss with your pediatrician before switching to low or non-fat milk, since fat is considered to be an essential part of a healthy diet for young children.


Four servings (total) of fruits and vegetables. Remember that a serving size for a toddler is not the same as for an adult. For a toddler, a serving is about a quarter of a whole piece of fruit or two tablespoons of canned or frozen vegetables.


Four servings of bread or cereal. A toddler serving is about one-third of a slice of bread, one cracker, or one quarter cup of cereal or pasta.


Two servings of meat, poultry, or another protein source. Each serving is only one-half ounce, so a tablespoon of peanut butter or a few bites of chicken or hamburger should be sufficient.


On any given day, a toddler is likely to fall short of the ideal listed above. One day he may devour two or three slices of bread and a few ounces of cheese in one sitting. Another day he may want only fruit, and on the next he may seem to eat practically nothing. Over several days, however, a two-year-old's intake generally balances out. In the same way you approach toilet training, you should remember that the goal is not to force-feed your child, but to help him develop healthy eating habits while keeping power struggles to a minimum.
Reply:First, toddlers will do this all the time and it is amazing how little they need to keep going. What I do with my daughter (who is not the best eater) is: make the food fun. Babies love anything with a face, so I put faces on her food: apple sauce in a small bowl with raisins on top in the shape of a smiley face; peanut butter and jelly sandwiches cut with cookie cutters to make animals (you can go crazy and pipe designs with jelly); baked sweet potato fries made to look like fish with peas for "eyes"-- just about anything can be used to make faces, animals, or people.
Reply:Reading through the answers given I see all the bases are covered. One thing I do for my son is give him choices (ie banana, apple or orange)... he thinks he's choosing, but I'm still in control of what he gets.


But, overall, as long as the things she is eating are healthy for her, you shouldn't worry. She's in a slump now, but next week she may eat you out of house and home.
Reply:Just keep offering her stuff you know she likes...kids go through these stages where they eat non-stop and then they just quit...she's probably in between growth-spurts...don't worry too much over it, she will eat when she's hungry...at that age, kids don't eat for "pleasure" as we adults tend to do...kids eat to survive!!! Keep up the good work, stay strong, don't give in to giving her sweets!! Try offering her cheese (cut up very small), yogurt, and keep giving her the cheerios and milk...she will come out of this and be eating like a little piggy before you know it!!! Good luck, hang in there!
Reply:I've been through this too. My daughter is constantly changing what she'll eat and what she won't. One week her most disliked food was her previous favorite food. The one thing with her that was always consistent was cheerios, apples, and milk so I always had those on hand and if I could get her to eat anything else, it was a good day. I always offered her whatever the rest of the family was eating and if she refused I'd get her some cheerios and milk. I also noticed with her that she was a huge milk drinker and that fills up those little bellies fast. As she grows her appetite will increase and she'll be more open to trying new food.

Did you see the special on Cambodian Child Prostitution??

I have not been able to sleep well for a few nights now. I saw this special on Cambodian child prostitution where 5 year olds were the greatest buy. And the vast majority of the "customers" were Americans! At a time when they should be playing with dolls, or jumping rope, or sticking teeth under their pillows for the tooth faery, these little boys and girls get raped repeatedly. I know this happens all over the world, even here in America, but really, how sick and evil can people get? And why isn't the U.N. or other governments fighting this tooth and nail? I'd much rather have my child be blown up by a terrorist and in heaven before he even knew what happened than something like this. Not to say I'm pro terrorism, but like I said, why is this sort of thing not our focus?

Did you see the special on Cambodian Child Prostitution??
its way 2 f*cking scary 2 think about. we would much rather live in our sheltered life. its horrible yes but ppl fighting it only makes ur life horrible. im sorry 4 bein so negative but i try 2 say wat i think is the truth

What do you think of this song?

V1: so this is what i wanted


i asked and i received


but now i find that it


is crashing down on me


its not what i imagined


in my fairy tale


and what i was waiting for...


lets just close the door





C: so this is what it comes down to


head over heart


was head over heels


now its tooth and nail


so lets turn it around,


from finish to start


or beter yet


just no start at all





V2: Who are we fooling?


its not what it once was


started on the right foot


but studder stepped too much


we were a sure thing


like a home run


till he jumped at the wall


now were just an out





C:and this is what it comes down to


head over heart


was head over heels


now its tooth and nail


so lets turn it around,


from finish to start


or beter yet


just no start at all





V3: how did i not see this coming


at me like a hummer


now im a deer in the headlights


and your stepping on the gas


and we both know


this is the end


of you and me


and what i thought was life





C: And this is what it comes down to


head over heart


was head ov

pretty cool

Reply:who sings it?
Reply:sounds like every other song out there so i guess that could be a good thing for you.
Reply:i love the c. very moving
Reply:You wanted me to read all that? Well then I have one for you. And everyone else who posts should post their own song to!





We both know that I shouldn't be here


This is wrong


And baby, it's killin' me, it's killin' you


Both of us trying to be strong


I've got somewhere else to be


Promises to keep


Someone else who loves me


And trusts me fast asleep





I've made up my mind


There is no turning back


She's been good to me


And she deserves better than that





[Chorus:]


It's the hardest thing I'll ever have to do


To look you in the eye and tell you I don't love you


It's the hardest thing I'll ever have to lie


To show no emotion when you start to cry


I can't let you see what you mean to me


When my hands are tied and my heart's not free


We're not meant to be


It's the hardest thing I'll ever have to do


To turn around and walk away, pretending I don't love you





I know we'll meet again


Fate has a place and time


So you can get on with your life


I've got to be cruel to be kind


Like Dr. Zhivago


All my love I'll be sending


And you will never know


'Cause there can be no happy ending





[Repeat chorus]





(Spoken:)


Maybe another time, another day


As much as I want to, I can't stay





(Sung:)


I've made up my mind


There is no turning back


She's been good to me


And she deserves better than that

Who said Obama does not flip flop? Note his style in the last two paragraphs of the follwing news item.?

Obama says he'd challenge 'dirty' election Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama says he would fight tooth and nail if the 2008 U.S. presidential were close and dirty as the last two.





At a town hall meeting in Jefferson, Iowa, undecided voter Bruce Banister asked Obama if he would challenge the election if you think it is dirty, or if he would back away, the Chicago Sun-Times reported Tuesday.





Obama said he would win by such a margin that it won't even be close and they can't steal the election.





But if results were close as in the 2000 and 2004 election, Obama said (We) will fight it tooth and nail till the end.





His answer however, didn't jibe with his vote on the first day in the U.S. Senate, when he joined a 74-1 majority voting not to challenge President Bush's disputed victory in Ohio in 2004 when Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., was the Democratic nominee. In 2000, former Vice President Al Gore challenged results in Florida that went before the U.S. Supreme Court.





Obama said he voted with the majority because Kerry indicated he wouldn't challenge the Ohio results.

Who said Obama does not flip flop? Note his style in the last two paragraphs of the follwing news item.?
OTHER EXAMPLES OF OBAMA’S FLIP FLOPPS:





1) Why has he sometimes said his first name is Arabic, and other times Swahili? Why did he make up names in his first book, as the introduction acknowledges? Why did he say two years ago that he would "absolutely" serve out his Senate term, which ends in 2011, and that the idea of him running for president this cycle was "silly" and hype "that's been a little overblown"?





2) Dodd says Obama flip-flopped on social security. Senator Barack Obama's characterized the highly successful Social Security program as being in "crisis," just nine days after he said the opposite stating that "Social Security is not in crisis."





3) Obama flip-flopped on his “one America” position—in his “one America” speech. He said that while Illinoisans don’t expect the government to solve their problems, Illinoisans are going to kick and scream until the government solves their problems.





4) Obama flip-flopped on Alito ("A filibuster would be a waste" then "OK, I'll support a filibuster as a symbolic gesture") and he flip-flopped on lobbying reform.





5) In one debate at Dartmouth College, in Hanover, New Hampshire, with Tim Russert serving as Moderator, Obama just flip-flopped and stated to Tim Russert that he would "do everthing necessary" to stop Iran from becoming a Nuclear Power. If Senator Obama vacillates on his postion when Tim Russert poses a question to him, what would Obama do or say in tense discussions with World Leaders. I reiterate that Obama lacks Leadership.


6) Obama flip-flopped on the Iraq war. Obama was an opponent of the Iraq War from its inception, when he was an Illinois state senator. But later he also said the U.S. now had an obligation to see the war through. "I don’t think any of us should be rooting for failure in Iraq at this point," he said. "This is no longer George Bush’s war. This is our war." . Obama said he would support sending more troops to Iraq if it would hasten the end of the war. An immediate withdrawal, he said, would create "an extraordinary hotbed of terrorist activity" and be "a slap in the face" to the troops fighting there. However, in January, Obama proposed legislation that would have started pulling out troops in May 2007 with a goal of having all combat troops out by March 31, 2008.
Reply:Obsma is for "Change", right? Report It

Reply:Kerry was the one who should have challenged it! If he wasn't man enough to stand up and say he wanted a challenge he shouldn't be president. Obama made the right decision, even if Bush is a TERRIBLE leader, at least he wants to LEAD. Kerry is a spineless follower with a big bank account.
Reply:I suppose you can get all hungup on details about anyone. I'm voting for Obama because in general he has respect for wage-earning americans. He 'gets it' that everything in this country depends on a working class that has honest work at good wages. He understands that no country can continue to borrow money to invest in a conventional war in the muslim east that has no natural stopping place. He's aware that to wage a war against this kind of enemy requires concentrated, international covert action abroad and real security measures at home. He knows, as do most Americans that reducing taxes for the corporations to the degree that the Republicans have insisted robs the treasury and results in the need for more and more borrowed money....money that the American wage-earner will have to repay. Sen. Clinton is on the same page with Obama on these things as well....none of the Republicans are. My advice is to vote in your own self interest if you're a wage-earner and don't be taken in by the people who wave flags and shake the cross in your face. They represent the trans-national corporations and the Jesus freak right...not you! At this point the Republicans consider you a sheep to be sheared. Someday, when the 'Eisenhower' republicans retake their party it may be different, but at this point the GOP is no more than neo-fascisti organization with zero regard for reality. Don't vote for these guys until they learn to behave.
Reply:They ALL "flip-flop." It's hard to remember what they said from one day to another, from one stop to another.
