esconsult1's Advice

  • What should I do when my puppy wount stop crieing?
    Most puppies suffer from separation anxiety. My puppy is a huge lab, 8 months old, and she suffers a lot when I even leave her to go to the bathroom. Get the puppy around more dogs.

  • Why did funadvice make asking questions like this?
    Let me start with the fact that I feel your pain :-( But we're not changing it back. Why? Look at this question you asked. Its actually getting answers! You actually posed a question, instead of saying something like "I hate the new question feature...

  • What name do you like best for a parrot(:?
    I had a parrot. Its name was "Beaky". A play on his ginormous beak. It was fun. Consider the name "Beaky", pronounced "beak-y"

    In the top right of the page, click on "Welcome back mrxhpluvr21"

  • Who, like me doesn't like this new question system on fa?
    Why did we do it? Simple. People sometimes ask silly questions. Think about this... if you you are asking how to feed your puppy which is the best way to do it? 1. "Puppy food" 2. "How can I feed my lab puppy?" Which one would you answer?

    They're trying to keep things simple. There was some survey recently that people who have large and varied numbers of products do worse than people who have simpler product lines.

    What to do about websites that track you

  • Stuff every one should know ?
    Um, also, its called Wikipedia. You can go there and get reasonable info on almost any topic. Bottom line? You gotta read more. There are no shortcuts.

  • Fear of spiders
    I just came back from Thailand. Was there for 3 weeks. During that time, I never saw a single spider, not even a little one :-) And I was in a pretty rural area too, with lots of other animals. Going to Thailand has so much upside, its not even f...

  • Funadvice is running so slow
    Early in the morning we run maintenance. For about 30 minutes the site will slow down. For our early-birds, expats and visitors several time zones away, we apologize and hope that we can make this less invasive in the future

  • This is my test question
    Hmmm. 42

  • Isn't it a bit dodgy that doctors call what they do 'practice'? (100.00%)
    Yeah, you "practice" your profession. In a sense it is also humility. Because you're admitting that no matter how much you learn in school, you're still getting better and better each day through practicing what you learned.

  • Profile Pic
    If your computer has a webcam, you can also use that to upload a new pic instantly!

  • Biracial hair question?
    I have a biracial daughter. As a single dad, what helps for me is to wash her hair often, generally every other day. Also, without fail, it has to be brushed and plaited before she goes to bed, or I'll spend 30 minutes doing it in the morning. Then a ...

  • Im thinking about getting a puppy
    Second on the Lab. I have a lab. They are in the top 10 smartest dogs in the world. As puppies they are incredibly frisky though :-) http://www.petmedsonline.org/top-10-smartest-dogs-in-the-world.html

    Not just you she's super fake and jaded.

  • How scary is this movie?
    It really isn't that scary. Not like the first one.

  • What is your favourite song, and why?
    Stevie Wonder's Overjoyed. Its such an uplifting song, from lyrics to melodies. The video was pretty tasty too.

  • Ed hardy
    Don't want to sound impolite, but Ed Hardy stuff is so pervasive now, that the people who wear them are referred to as d-bags. Not saying you are one at all, but just a friend letting you know that that's what some people out there are saying :-)

  • iphone3G. are they good?
    The iPhone 3G is awesome. It just struck me that I really can't get lost anymore when I go anywere, just because of the GPS and google maps combination. That alone is worth it.

  • laptop problems
    Might be that you don't have enough memory in there, or the processor is too slow, or perhaps too many other programs are running at the same time?

  • I found a dead cat today under my car
    This is I have a labrador retriever, who likes to dig. So... Imagine one day looking on the porch to see a dead half rotting cat, and my playful lab running around with it like a toy. The stuff of nightmares! Can't take that chance!!! In any ev...

    A little piece of fruit is good. A banana. An orange or apple. No heavy stuff. Good for on the run.

    Pacman does it for me!

  • I found a dead cat today under my car
    I double bagged it, and put it in the garbage, but it smells still. This cat has been around here for around 2 years now. I think they belong to no particular house, but hang around 2 or 3 houses daily.

  • I finally figure out what I want to do Stand-up comedy
    The most important thing is to make sure you got your material lined up. Write down the jokes, and run them by people (a good way to know if they're good, or they bomb). Then you will have a stable of jokes that you can always turn to.

  • How to activate

  • Another Height Conscious Teen Boy.
    I just looked this up on Wolfram Alpha. I put in your stats. And you are projected to reach a height of 6' 2" by 20 years old. Which means that your growth slows up as you go on. This is on average, so you may be slightly taller, or slightly shorter :...

  • Can I hook 2nd computer to a single DSL modem? (100.00%)
    There is no such thing as an ethernet splitter. You need a router. ** Correction. Ethernet Spitters exist. But they will not work with a DSL router that has only out output! ** Go to Circuit City, Best Buy, or other electronics store, and ask for a w...

  • Would it be acceptable if the Government establishes a national pol (50.00%)
    Nobody is going to delete @amblessed. My point is that don't just spout off the talking points without doing a little bit of research. I could say "@irrismith molested his pet goat" and then someone else could say "Did @irrismith really do that? Tha...

  • Would it be acceptable if the Government establishes a national pol
    Guys, now many of you are going really crazy. A national police force. We already have it, its called the FBI. What Obama was referring to was optional national service, kind of targeted towards college students who would get a subsidy for colleg...

  • Should the US start charging for grocery bags? (0.00%)
    In any case, this is a moot point. Publix, Whole Foods, and a host of other large chains are definitely moving their customers away from disposable bags (paper OR plastic). Whole foods is almost there. Publix if pretty close right now. Basically...
