What are you feeding her? If you haven't introduced dry food yet, you might try that to see if the softness is resolved that way? My cats once weaned were introduced to wet then wet and dry and then dry available all day with a spoonful of wet morning and evening as a "treat". If it continues, you should probably talk to a vet.

Does Year 1 UK mean he is now 6 or that he will be 6 in June? If the latter, I would think he would be placed in Grade 1 in the Canadian system which is basically "full time" - not sure about Ontario's school system, but he would go for full mornings and probably up until 2pm in the afternoon The last train was about midnight. The info is available online for all the GO transit system (busses and trains) Where will you or your DH be working? That may have a lot of bearing on where you live. If one/other is downtown, there is an excellent public tranport system from nice areas that are not so expensive as Toronto proper. I used to use the GO Train from the border of Etobicoke and Missisauga - less than 20 minutes and it ran at frequent intervals from 0600 to 1900 hrs. Once you know where you will be living you will have to contact the local school board to enroll your child - as I don't have kids I have no idea what the process is but it should be easy to find the info on the internet. Housing, I would imagine a townhouse with a yard is very doable in most areas of Toronto proper and the suburbs, Etobicoke, Missisauga, etc. etc. <em>edited by marycatherine on 22/11/2011</em>

Actually your Exec Asst experience is probably more valuable than your degree, even if it was outside UAE. Some PAs to CEOs earn up to AED30000/month. Many adverts require a Western educated PA with experience. Your degree might assist in that you can show some at least theoretical experience in the international arena. Take a look at Clarendon Parker's website and Charterhouse Middle East. You might be pleasantly surprised to see how your skill set is valued. The downside is, working hours might not be to your liking/needs - but you never know until you try.

The only thing I would recommend (if you have the funds) is to buy a thin foam pad to put on top of the mattress before making the bed - cold seeps up from the floor through them and the foam retains body heat. It may seem impossible for a country that requires AC most of the year but tile/stone floors can cool quite a bit.

Many US companies will not ship to an address outside the US or to certain countries (fraud is one fear). As for the voltage, you can buy a step down transformer fairly cheaply (under 100AED) at Carrefour, just make sure the wattage on the transformer can handle the wattage on the electrical item. You can get step down transformers with wattage capabilities as high as 1500watts not enough for hair dryers or power tools but the pump should be manageable.

If you don't have or can't find self rising flour you can substitute the following: for 1 cup (250ml) of unsifted self rising flour use: 1 cup (250 ml) of unsifted all purpose floure + 1.5 tsp baking pwder + 1/2 tsp salt. I have a great book "The Food Substitutios Bible" (second edition) by David Joachim. It's wonderful.

I have done this several times to and from North America - 1. I always fly KLM even if it means a less convenient passage for me because KLM is very good with both the animals and the nervous mothers. KLM has a pet hotel in Schipol where all flights for North America connect - they are fed, watered, access to litter box and a vet is available to inspect the health of the animals. 2. You are not supposed to give your pet food before the flight - invest in a water bottle (like hamsters use) and train your cat to drink from that before flying - not an issue for mine as they like to drink from the tap. 3. You can buy what are called "pooch pads" to put in the bottom of the crate - I see there are doggy training pads now available in some outlets here as well - they will absorb any liquid (pee or water) but the poop can't be handled - another reason why I choose KLM - they don't have to sit in filth for too long at that rate. 4. Most vets recommend you do not tranquilize the animal as it reduces their ability to "brace" themselves in case of turbulance and they may be injured as a result. Hope that helps

More to the point, if one of those children had drowned or been injured - who/which body would have been held legally liable. Yes security people take a "beating" in the GCC - but even moreso if someone's child is found floating face down in the pool, even if it was closed. That said, the OP (and hubby) did the right thing - whether the parents of the children involved care is another story. You have to have a license (and insurance) to drive a car - anyone can breed (if you're married to each other here).

I agree with Appletiser that reading to and with your child is a BIG step up (as well as a bonding experience). I still remember my Dad doing the "tiddley pums" in Winnie the Pooh (not Disney the REAL WTP) stories - he would sit with us for hours acting out the stories and doing different voices. I believe that this (and other things we did with our parents) motivated us to seek out and find entertainment in books and other non-technological activities (but I'll admit, I grew up with 2 TV stations and neither of them came on air until about 1100hrs until I was a teenager)

I agree Roses, but if these advisors are so good at it, why aren't they doing it for themselves fulltime - why do they take commissions and why are they not liable for losses incurred? I entrust my dental and other health care to "experts" too, but I educate myself, ask questions, and if I don't like or trust the answers, I move on very quickly before I lose too much of "my investment". The original post implied that forex was a good bet - and it is just that, a gamble, with the investor's money, not the advisor's.

Is the oven temperature accurate to the setting on the dial? I use an oven thermometer to help get the correct heat setting for my oven. Is there a fan option on your oven? That can help circulate the heat better and more evenly but it can speed up the baking time as well. Hope one of these helps you out.

A word to anyone who is considering Forex or any other type of speculative investing and leaving it to "the experts". My first question to myself is "Why isn't this expert doing this all for themselves and making boatloads of money for themselves?" What is the expert's risk? I am not saying experts aren't helpful and aren't mindful of other people's money - but it is YOUR money. Educate yourselves before you hand over your account to someone else, educate yourselves as to the risk (high returns = high risk in most investment products). Sorry, but I've been in financial services (not investing or forex other than financing international trade transactions) too long to not be aware of the risks for the amateur investor. If you can't afford to lose it, you can't afford to invest it IMHO. Maybe this is a good opportunity, but only for those who are well aware of not only the risks (and they can occur at any time - natural disasters, market downturns/meltdowns, country economies going bust on short notice). You need nerves of steel in such situations - and a back up savings plan.

When did this happen at the current QDC? I was there Sunday, no sign of any renovations - but it could be happening quickly (which is unusual). I was also talking with someone in construction who is familiar with the proposed Pearl QDC outlet - they said the timeline was late December/early January but was estimating "springtime". I'll believe either when I walk through the door and see it for myself - I just don't want to be disappointed. As for Spinney's - they may or may not have a license (they don't in Sharjah in the UAE) - I've heard that several 5* hotels also have licenses, and have held them for several years - again, I'll believe it when I see it on the menu. <em>edited by marycatherine on 16/11/2011</em>

Prague is absolutely one of my most favourite holidays - it is very walkable, if you don't mind a few hills. There's lots to see, the food is fabulous and the prices were certainly right for hotels/food/drink. You can visit the castle/cathedral complex at the top of a fairly steep hill, but I kept stopping to take pictures over the river and Charles Bridge so managed to to it without becoming too breathless! There are river cruises as well as day trips outside the central "old town" area - the latter can be done on your own using public transport if you're so inclined. There is a wonderful concert hall, art, etc. etc. etc. The people were very nice and willing to give you information and guidance as well. If the BF is not keen, go for 3 days - he might change his mind once he's there and stay longer?

Is she paying for the base or the top or both? Sorry but your kids broke the table - somebody has to suck that part of it up? Can the top be replaced? - I'm assuming so from your post. If the base can be retrieved - then if the kids broke it - I would say it's the employer's responsibility to replace the top. If the base can't that's another conversation - however, why would the maid get rid of the base so quickly - seemingly in a matter of hours? Were there sharp edges that might endanger the children? As a piece of advice for the future (and not a commentary/judgement on what has happened in your house today) I have always told my maid/cleaning people - if it's broken, tell me, I can then take steps to replace or repair it - I get p!ssed when I go to use something and find it's broken or not there. I have never charged the maid for items like this - but then my maid doesn't usually break stuff very often ( once every two or three years ) and I look on it as if I'd been doing the work, I might have broken it myself.

I've always had to travel between 5 & 20 minutes by car to get to a place where my pup can run and chase and sniff without worrying about bothering other people (or being bothered by other people). I don't know about your situation but suggest you drive around a bit to find a place where pup can run. I go out at 0500 hrs in order to do so. This is usually - in my experience - something you canot accomplish even as "late" as 0700 hrs. This is an early hours commitment. <em>edited by marycatherine on 06/11/2011</em>

Interesting in that the crotch of underwear is not technically a gusset - but I guess non-sewers might not be aware;) - as a matter of general information, a gusset is usually a triangular shaped piece inserted usually in the underarm area (OK maybe not quite so "intimate" as the crotch :\: but not necessarily attractive) to make arm movement easier. I can see why either location might be distasteful ;)

I would set it up before it is needed and the balloon idea is good - but I would line it with aluminium foil (and of course remove it before baby arrives) - Cats don't usually like the feel of the foil so it's another layer of deterrent. I have heard of concerns (don't know any actual cases) of a cat, because it likes to sit on something warm, sitting on baby's chest and causing respiratory distress - just think if someone your size sat on your chest. Best advice? Make sure kitty isn't in the room alone with baby and get a baby monitor

I just cancelled a ticket today (due to fly out this Thursday) and Emirates will do this (as they would have done for a change in the same class space permitting if I changed the dates) for 100AED. While you and your Mum may feel you paid a premium for her ticket that may not be the airline's perspective. In my experience, Emirates can be more expensive (but worth it [b'>to me [/b'>- that's not everyone's take on it). I appreciate your situation but to be honest - that's not any airline's issue - sure it would be nice if Mum could stay on with no real financial hit, but that's not the case in this instance.

C4 has had this problem repeatedly here - not only the Fruit and veg, but the meat sections have been shut down at least 4 - 6 times to my personal knowlege since 2006. I have never seen or heard of this in UAE or in Oman. I've noticed in the past 6 - 8 months there seem to be a bunch of "managers" who are going around the store one hopes trying to address these health issues, but as we see, no luck so far. It's disgraceful and the MoH is to be congratulated for shutting them down - but maybe they should be shutting them out for repeated offences and bringing in an operator with real standards? I suspect part of the issue are the staff (and not that the staff don't care, but perhaps they're not trained or compensated properly). The managerial types I've noticed are people from Arab countries with French connections, not French managers (and I have no idea if there is anything to choose between them)

Get some baby gates set up so the cat has somewhere to go to when the dynamic duo get going. They're puppies, they are curious and want to play (highly doubt they are being mean). Leave room at the bottom for kitty to scoot under and keep her food and litter box in a secure baby gated area. She may never learn to love them, especially as they are young right now, but she will learn to tolerate them (or at least avoid them). Give puppies a chance - you may be pleasantly surprised.

This is normal JS - you're wearing yourself out unnecessarily and running after Princess and screaming won't improve her opinion of Petro - they have to work it out themselves. If you like, get a squirt bottle with water and spray her but it won't really change her behaviour quickly - except she will hesitate (and possibly run away) when she sees the squirt bottle in your hand. Give it time. My most recent acquisition is now terrorizing my oldest cat (who didn't really pay much attention when newbie arrived) and playing with the cat who behaved like your Princess. He is not defending himself because he knows he might be hurt - like dogs who roll over for dominant dogs - showing that they are not a threat to the aggressor - try to let things unfold naturally, which is very difficult I know.

I have been called a lobster snob and am a self proclaimed lobster purist (if it isn't in the shell, it's could be anything). Coming from a part of Canada where you go to the wharf and buy it off the boat I have never failed to be disappointed here. I was excited to see "live" lobster at Carrefour last December - but having poked them with my finger they were (a) mostly dead - no one buys a dead lobster in Eastern Canada and (b) if alive, close to death. I bought 2 anyways because I miss lobster!!!! They would probably have been acceptable as part of a "dish" (thermidor, bisque, etc) but out of the shell they were dismal. To be fair, they have to travel a long way to get here, the fish mongers don't know lobster here (although I have seen a lobster tank in Terminal 3 which might be palatable, but at a price) and don't know how to "store" live lobster properly. My advice? For good lobster, visit any country that borders on the North Sea or North Atlantic it's the best thing in the world if fresh.

It can take several days in transit - held up until there is enough "other stuff" - as a rule of thumb (I've been doing this for 3+ years) I wouldn't start to worry until 7 - 10 days after the shipment has left the US. You should be able to check with the tracking system as to whether it has arrived in Dubai and been dispatched. This isn't relevant for this time of year but I've had shipments held up in the US because of weather, the flight was cancelled and the freight offloaded. I don't think a toy sword would affect the shipment, but who knows here?

Ficus do very well in gardens here, hibiscus (which have lovely bright red flowers, but you can get them in pink or orange too). A frangipani tree, they have white blooms which smell lovely - you may have had some on your bed in a hotel when they turn down the beds. A low growing plant which is almost impossible to kill is purslane, they use it here inbetween the roads on the medians a lot (in fact that might be a good place to get some ideas as marigolds and petunias are also used a lot here). You can grow basil outside here (used to have it in the garden outside my last apt block and it will reseed itself - generally prefers some shade especiallys during the summer). Morning glories (Ipomea I think) do well here as well and grow like weeds.

Why are you losing energy? Just leave them to work it out by themselves (but only when you are home) there is no need to hover, just keep an eye that it doesn't get too violent. If he doesn't seem to care, then he's probably not being hurt very much - just warned. A few days won't cut it I'm afraid - it will take weeks if Princess is ticked off not being the diva in your home. As he gets bigger he'll be better able to avoid her/protect himself - try to keep calm, it's hard to watch the little one's getting batted around but it's part of learning to get along with other cats.
