A friend of my aunt's had told me to put cheerios in the toilet and then let my son try and sink them when he had to go.She said to make a game out it and before you know it he'll come running out of the bathroom shouting I did it mommy i sinked them all.What is the funniest advice you have ever gotten on how to potty train a boy?
thats it but i was t0ld fruit loops (pretty colors)What is the funniest advice you have ever gotten on how to potty train a boy?
They actually make biodegradable floating bull's eye targets and I was told to use them. Hitting the bull's eye was supposed to be a fun thing....I didn't try them =) And, my son tried watering the plants on his own as well when he was older and we were visiting friends. He came in yelling in excitement that he had ';wrote his name on the fence'; so please everyone, don't make a game of that one =) My son is 19 now....LOL I still laugh.
The fruit loop game was pretty funny to me. When my sister told me that knowing how my son is he would have been trying to eat them out of his potty I know that sounds gross. Thats exactly why I didn't try it.
the cheerios are pretty popular everywhere. it works! I was told to let my son run around naked. I didn't! Could you imagine knocking on someone's door and wondering why the kids were naked and peeing all over the house?
It was suggested to me that I let my son potty outside, aiming at bushes and trees to ';water'; them. He's pretty smart, so it wouldn't have been long before he would have been aiming at his sister! I ignored this piece of advice!
My mother use this on my brothers. She got an empty coffee can and put it in the bathroom and had them to pee in it. It really worked because when they go it makes a sound and they though that it ws so neat.
actually sweetheart... i AM at work....thanks!

What is the best advice you can give to a new science student?
I'm going to university soon to study nutrition (applied science). Was hoping to get some tips from former science students on how to make the learning/memorizing/commiting go a little more smoothly.What is the best advice you can give to a new science student?
Find another career unless you want to relocate to China or India. The future of industrial research in the USA is pretty bleak.What is the best advice you can give to a new science student?
Don't be discouraged if you don't ace your first exam. Find a particular style of studying that suits you, and then do it over and over. Studying is how I got through all the difficult science courses I had to take throughout college. And when I got to grad school, studying was so second nature, I wouldn't even have to make myself do it. If you don't get something and can't figure it out, make sure to make friends in each class to call and consult with. If that fails, seek out the professor and/or teaching assistant. There is really no way you should not succeed if you have motivation to do well. (My method of study for chemistry was three or four nights before the test, I would go to an open academic building, use their blackboard and write out reaction after reaction after reaction until I felt very comfotable with every kind.) Good luck
Have plenty of men.....
1. Study habit. If you want to do very well in your classes, prepare yourself to having little or no social life. It sucks, but this is your career. Sacrifices have to be made.
2. Read the book. It will be boring, but it pays off in the end.
3. Note cards. Those saved my life
4. If possible, be the professor's new best friend. Don't hesitate to go to his office and unload your questions. It is his job to make sure you make it through.

Does anyone have any advice for someone who is deciding on a Vet tech or veterinarian career?
Also, is a BA in Biology an important part of a vet education? In other words, do I really need it?Does anyone have any advice for someone who is deciding on a Vet tech or veterinarian career?
My advice would be that if you have high enough grades and the stamina to stick it out through about 6-8 years of school, go for Veterinarian rather then Vet tech. Vet tech is alright, but, you are pretty much just the nurse following orders and many people find they aren't content with that role when they graduate.
As far as what you need education wise, start looking at veterinary programs. If possible, it would be a good idea to attend a college that has the program to make sure all of your credits are accepted..Does anyone have any advice for someone who is deciding on a Vet tech or veterinarian career?
i would ask the closest vet around

What is the best advice to give someone preparing to get married?
Expenditure wise.
Things to do and those not to do, in terms of Logistics and planning.
Cope with last minutes setbacks etcWhat is the best advice to give someone preparing to get married?
Give yourself plenty of time - if you want a nice wedding without spending a ton of money, it will likely take quite a bit of time and patience to find those great deals. Don't stress out over little details. Make sure to check out ';wedding'; places as well as normal retail places when looking for things like favors and napkins and dresses - often things labeled as ';wedding'; things cost much more than they would otherwise, but sometimes you can find great sales. Good luck!What is the best advice to give someone preparing to get married?
ALWAYS COMMUNICATE.
Keep it small. Don't tell a lot of people until after it's done or they'll want to come. Do it how you want, don't let anyone, ANYONE else tell you how it should be done. Remember, this is your thing. Do what you want to do.
you don't have to spend a whole lot on the wedding, wait for the honeymoon!
Communication about financial things, as well as communication on everything.
I do agree with the person who said that everything that's going to happen at home after the wedding and honeymoon should be discussed beforehand.
The first year of marriage is by far the hardest--as both partners have so many adjustments to make. That's why they should settle all kinds of financial and non-financial matters before it even happens.
Cut corners on the flowers and the reception food. Limit the alcohol to enough for a champagne toast. Give out about 10 disposable cameras to friends to take photos instead of spending a month's salary with a professional. And do not send Christmas cards to those who do not return your pre-printed, self-addressed, stamped RSVP cards.
Don't do it!! lol....
good luck
If for any reason...ANY REASON you have doubts or it just doesn't feel right. Don't follow through with the marriage. You are doing both yourself a favor.
Don't just plan the wedding, plan the marriage. Sit down with your fiance %26amp; discuss division of labor, who will take out the trash, wash dishes or load dishwasher, keep house, etc. Also discuss finances. You both should know what's in the checking %26amp; savings accounts. When my Grandmother died earlier this year, my Grandpa was lost. She'd handled everything for him. Now he's having to learn how to do things that he's not done in over 40 years. Marriage isn't 50-50. It's 100 from both of you. Communication is a HUGE thing. Have lots of it!!
do not be stupid you are still in the save side do not do it.
Make sure this is the person whom you can imagine growing old with. So many people get caught up with the glamour of the preparations and then realize afterwards if they did the right thing. Don't stress over the preparations. I have seen $100,000-$5000.00 weddings. Follow your heart. Does it really matter if your reception is in the church or would you rather pay mega bucks to rent a banquet hall in an expensive hotel?
Wish you the best in your choices
Make sure you both have the same goals with life, children, work, vacations. Everything down to the last little thing! I was about to walk down the aisle with someone when he told me he didnt want kids, well that was the dealbreaker! So I dumped his butt....and now 4 years and 3 kids later with a new husband and I am happy has anything! you have to be right for each other! good luck!

Can someone give me advice on getting a vehicle re-painted?
I would like to have my crew-cab pickup re-painted, and really want a quality job. What type of shop should I look for, what type of paint, and what would be a fair price? Thanx to all in advance for your answers.Can someone give me advice on getting a vehicle re-painted?
How many more years are you going to drive it? What year, condition and mileage? If it were in the 80's have 200,000 miles on it and was just something you want to keep then I would opt for the MAACO paint job. Reason being is purely economics. If you figure it has 5 years of life left would it be worth spending the higher amount? Your range of $500.00 to $4,000.00 and how much you are comfortable spending is a question only you can answer. I have used Maaco and had great success. I did spend a little extra and have clear coat applied. Bottom like it it will be your preference as to how much you want to spend. Ask yourself those questions, condition, age, value and your future plans of the vehicle. Hope this helps some.Can someone give me advice on getting a vehicle re-painted?
Well, you can expect to spend $2000-$4000. This is for a good paintjob. NOT MAACO!%26lt;------------Dont let me catch you even calling them!!!(The paint will turn to dust in 2 years, no lie)
You should talk to at least 3-4 auto body shops in the yellow pages, call and get some quotes, ie-shop around. Maybe talk with some friends about it and see if they know anyone locally with a good reputation.
SInce we all love our vehicles like their our children, you dont want to get a bad paintjob....do some homework and good luck.

What is the best advice you've ever received for battling depression and loneliness?
Yeah, I can read bunches of articles on here about this subject. But i would rather hear from real people with real stories or real advice on what they did to combat this.What is the best advice you've ever received for battling depression and loneliness?
stay free from drama. dont be negative, stay busy so you dont drift off to negative thoughts. build happy healthy relationships with people. i take medication i use to have really bad depression and i still do at times you have to battle it yourself. moments can seem like there so bad and you wont get threw it but you will take some time take a few breaths and forget it dont bring up the problem again go on and leave it at that because the past is the past no way of going back and changing just do better next time kk depression can be very hard if you have no one to help you on it. just blow problems away and they wont fase you llk.llkWhat is the best advice you've ever received for battling depression and loneliness?
Seriously? Do something, you are killing yourself. It doesn't matter if it's a therapist or a doctor. Do something.
It was the desparation in the ';you are killing yourself'; that finally got thru. I guess you could say that I was a pretty bad case... and I was already on antidepressants. Who knew I was bipolar instead of ';just'; depressed.
The best advice I ever heard was from Reservoir Dogs when he says in the movie, ';You've been brave enough for one day.';
That line relaxed me so much during many, many difficult days..... because you don't have to change everything right away.... just surviving is a big accomplishment.
the only love you really need is the love from yourself
Oh, and just have a daily dose of rocking out to Paramore..that usually does it
Excercise, sing, dance, or get out and have a little FUN! lol.
Itll pass. It gets the best of us.

What is the best advice for college freshmen?
Finally graduated high school. What is some good advice to help me succeed in college academically, and socially for that matter?What is the best advice for college freshmen?
It's not like high school, where you can get by doing almost nothing. You actually have to know your stuff. Make sure you go to all the classes. It'll almost guarantee you an A if you are always there and spend a little time each day going over your notes, so that when the tests come around it's not so overwhelming. Also, quite a few teachers will take roll every once in awhile and give extra credit and stuff.
Be smart about partying! Seriously, it's not very fun staying up really late when you have a test at 9 the next morning or something. But don't forget to have fun! Like Chef said on South Park, ';There's a time and a place for everything and it's called college.'; Good luck! :)What is the best advice for college freshmen?
1st Year: Drink some (tons of) drinks, do some (tons of) drugs, and try to make it to class
2nd Year: Get fired up, make it to class, impress some teachers
3rd Year: Study your *** off
4th Year: You own this place and you have earned it
College after the first year is all about moderation. Also, most of them are full of idiots, so it's really not that hard to shine without working that hard. Unless you are an idiot.
Stick with it. It becomes very overwhelming sometimes having to manage everything on your own for the first time. Also, do your hw! It is so easy to go back to your dorm and then decide not to do it. You have to. Also, go find help sessions/rooms for ur classes. That was the only way I was able to pass Calc.
oh, and have fun!
Rock out with your c*ck out and go to class.
