Good name for bearded dragon?

I'm getting a Bearded Dragon In about a week and was wondering what I should name It. I was thinking If It was a male a cool name could me Slash Axel or Blaze If It was a female some cool names could be Nikki Elena or Athena. Which one do you think Is the best If Its a boy or girl. Also I was wondering for a baby would a 20 gallon tank was good or I could just put a 50 or 60 gallon tank so I don't have to get another one in the future and he or she would be set.

Raising an injured baby chick alone ?

There was a clutch of five all brooded by the mother hen. One took a day longer to hatch than the others and is smaller and weaker by comparison (but still healthy). Yesterday, the other chicks began picking at him. From the base of his head and down the back of his neck is raw and fuzzless. We didn't think he'd make it if we left him with the others, so we removed him to a tank. He is very distraught. My question is, will it be safe to move him back with his siblings and mom once he is healed in a few weeks? Or will they be likely to reject him? Will this chick develope the social skills needed to be with other chickens later? Fyi the chick is about three weeks old now and is being kept company by a mirror in his enclosure.

Aren’t America’s union members similar to “moderate” Muslims?

Unions have always supported socialist agendas. unions were born in the socialist era of US history, i direct product of the labor movements. unions are supposed to radically oppose coporate power. the problem with today's unions IS they are too moderate. they have no balls, that is why our society is becoming more and more corporate, more totalitarian. corporations have bought the judges, the legislators, the presidents, and without unions to oppose them, there will be no more democracy in the US. power will further centralize into the hands of the very wealthy.

Should I break up with this guy?

I know this is long, but please bear with me. I'm almost 17 and am admittedly socially awkward... or rather just really shy (whichever way you want to put it). This guy (let's just call him John) is the first person to ever really flirt with me. He's also the first to ask me out. No, I'm not an ugly person, I just don't talk to alot of people, and tend to bring up conversations that some people find horrifying or odd. We traded phone numbers and had been talking for perhaps 3 or so days before I agreed to go out with him... I guess I just feel curious or compelled to do it. Not really sure if I like him THAT way. Anyway, for the next two weeks after that, we only met at school for perhaps 15-30 minutes a day. I can't tell my strict (crazy) mother about this yet, so we can only talk for limited amount of time on the phone. Case and point: I didn't know him that well. Until today. I sweet talked someone into bringing us to a restaurant and movies (since they were going there anyway). Despite warning him of our arival beforehand, he was playing with his friends when we showed up, then made us wait while he got ready. Took almost 30 minutes. John's grades are horrible, he doesn't know what to do with his life, and he's... not necessarily the biggest gentleman on the planet. The date was rather awkward for the most part, I actually talked more than him (THATS a feat). We paid for our own stuff (he's poor too, so I paid for his snack). During the movie, he held my hand, kept kissing my cheek, put his arm around my shoulder (kept 'accidently' touching my boob [appologized later on]), and he kept calling me beautiful; that if he ever hit me, he'd kill himself; that he was lucky to be dating an upper-classman... and that his friends were jealous. I didn't say anything, but tried playing along (again, I'm VERY shy). After the movie, he saw me talking to my sister (she's the one who brought us). John couldn't hear us, but my sister really dislikes him- says that I could do much better. I'm really not sure about the whole thing, after all I KNOW that it isn't going to last forever. Anyway, the ride back was silent. He didn't say a word when we dropped him off (even after I said I'd call him tomorrow). John seemed to be brooding on the way back to his home- he probably guessed what my sis and I were talking about. He left me a voicemail a little while ago saying it was alright if I broke up with him... sounded depressed. I've got a soft heart, and I feel sorry for him since he's probably got a ruff home-life... I kinda want to try again and see what happens. Still not sure if I really care for him that way, though. There's a catch next time though (if there's one): my sister refused to be the one to give us a ride. My mom will have to be the one, and I know she's going to hate him (my sister was the easy one to please, and he failed at that). What should I do?

What Mental Disorder do you think this is?

Sounds like schizophrenia, but I'm no head doctor. You should really talk to your parents about this.

Introducing 13 year old Neutered male to 9 year old neutered male (CATS)?

It's not a bad idea, although being neutered has no effect on behavior. Just let them sniff out each other's space first. And hold them about a foot from each other at all times until they seem less frantic. (Bushy tail, low growl, arched back, etc.)

Is biting yourself bad?

I like to bite myself all the time. I am careful not to make a permanent mark. I saw twilight and thought it would be interesting. I am not stupid. I don't think I'm a vampire . Although I have some of there qualitys. I burn really bad in the sun and get heat rash. I like the taste of human blood(it tastes like metal). I love the nighttime. I only bite myself not others. I never make myself bleed on purpose. It tastes good though. Do you think it's weird? Do you think it's wrong? Would you try it? Thanks for any help!

My mother is constantly calling herself "momma" to my baby?

I think your mom is being insensitive, but whether it's intentional or not, you're the best judge of that. You know whether there are issues below this. If it were my mom, I'd know it were just excitement, but I've known families where the power struggle reaches back generations and keeps on giving, so to speak. It'll be the same pattern in two generations as it was for the grandparents. Some people do make mistakes like this unintentionally. My dad would always call me by my three older sisters names and then get around to mine. I've been known to call the dog when I mean my child. Ugh. talk about embarrassing. But I don't do it on purpose. Either your mom was so used to talking to her babies like that, that she still just does that, or she is doing it to get under your skin. Could be either. I would simply talk to her about this when your baby is taking a nap. If she is understanding and wants to change, there's your answer. If she brushes aside your feelings and keeps it up, then you know what that means. I definitely wouldn't let her continue to do this. But I don't think you can assume anything until you've talked to her and then you decide how to handle it from there.

What happened? Done before it even began...completely confused!?

Alright, I have been brooding over this for a some weeks now and need some insight. I went to a small party with some friends, only like 10 of us there, and I had my eye on a very cute guy the entire night. We ended up sleeping next to each other, no naughty business at all. In the morning he gave me a full on back massage twice and cuddled it was the nicest feeling and then we had to get on with our days. Later I found out he asked for my number from a mutual friend and I was ecstatic but no phone call...I waited and finally after a week and a half I decided to take it upon myself to talk to him, so I found him on facebook, since I didn't have his number, and simply said I had a good time on thursday maybe we could hang out sometime...no response...nothing at all it has now been 3 weeks and honestly I am still thoroughly confused...what happened..showing that much interest and then poof gone? Now I feel rejected which is why I am constantly thinking about it, ugh ><

Weird thing happened on the trail the other day...?

She probly spooked from somethin' way off that you couldn't see or hear. Also, there may've been a plastic bag somewhere (You know the way horses feel 'bout plastic bags).

What do you think this means?

they are as bright as the sun, peices of the sun that wandered off to be on there own. I think he means that he has dreams or hopes of his own

BADLY sunburnt. Skin cancer possibility?

Today I went to a swim invite for like 4 or 5 hours and there was a 2 hour rain delay (so it started at 10:45) then it got BLAZING hot….The meet ended around 2….When i got home, I noticed my chest was all red and there were strap lines from my swim suit. My shoulders and arms got burned along with my back. It got FRIED. This is my second time being out in the sun for so long. I have an invite tomorrow as well. Should I go, so I could possibly get burned more? I'm always worried that now I'll get skin cancer because of my burn that I have now. What are some signs of skin cancer and just because I get badly burned now, do I have a chance of getting skin cancer anytime soon? I don't get burnt very often and I'm pretty pale skinned. Please help. I'm very worried. Don't tell me I'm stupid for not putting on sunscreen cuz I know I am. Please help….10 points go to best answer! :)

I want to be with her but she is hot and cold?

She likes the other guy, obviously and wants to show you how hot she is and she obviously don't like you mate.

What are brooding good looks?

I imagine a guy who fits the criteria "tall, dark and handsome." He is mysterious, and something about him draws you in. So I guess like an Edward Cullen-ish person haha. Even though I don't like him.
