My MIL has reached her limit with us?

I love my MIL as a person, but she is terrible with finances, and her kids find themselves picking up most of her bills because of her poor financial planning. Right now, her 4 other kids are really struggling, but my husband and I are doing ok (by ok, I mean we can afford to live comfortably with careful budgeting, but we only make under $40k a year combined, we cannot support his moms bad decisions). Anyways, last winter, the plastic sheet things (you know, those hard, corrugated green sheets) blew off her covered porch that her 4 dogs live under. Her dogs are 100% outside dogs, always have been, they are huge, dirty, smelly, and pretty much untrained. These are not small pampered lap pets, they are just fine out in the elements. Instead of saving up to pay a professional to fix it for years to come, she assumed I would pay for the materials to do a crappy patch job that will probably blow right off again because Im not a carpenter. The monsoons are coming, so she called me up the other day and told me she needed me to come fix it asap. She can't afford the $250 materials I'll need, so guess who gets to pay? I suggested building a small wood shelter for the dogs instead, which would be just as effective and cost only about $50. But no, they have to have a whole covered porch to stay out of the rain. These dogs will be perfectly fine out in the rain come on why should I have to help them out.. If she cant afford them then she should take them to the pound right?

Is this poem any good?

I read it two times; it was a very enjoyable poem. I liked the overall feel of it. It had good flow, nice imagery, and good diction. You shouldn't doubt your ability.

Hi ladies, please answer if you have used or use the contraceptive pill.. thank you?

It should say on the instructions how long you can leave it between pills. Can't remember which sort Microgynon is, but if it's not a mini-pill, I think there's a fair amount of leeway. I was always bad at taking them at the same time.

Install file won't open?

Well, I'm trying to install a program called process blocker so I can block some really annoying viral processes from starting up but when I tried to start the install file, It would say: " This installation package could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows install package." I have windows XP SP3 and I just freshly formatted my hard drive so their should be no interface from other programs. D: help!

Is it legal to sell cell phone blockers online? I know it isnt legal to use them, but to sell them?

I would like to know if it is legal to sell these online. What if I sell to other countries? Are they illegal to use? or illegal to sell in the us. THanks. Can I sell them to people in the US Online? Thats what I want to know.

Dog food question from yesterday?

There are more grains than meat.I wouldn't buy it.If these were my dogs,all of the dogs would be getting Blue Buffalo instead of getting Newman's Own Organics unless the dogs have health issues like allergies I'd look for a specific type of diet.

I feel like I am losing my life because of the way i feel?

I don't know you bit can only say I have been there. It starter for me when my sister died of cancer. I'm 27 now and feel great. I didn't think about how tired or scared or depressed I was. I'm sure you are a smart beautiful woman. Love your self and say I can do or and find a place outside that gives you a feeling happiness and chill. Rember you are beautiful! You can do it.
