CraftyCorner these disorders are not excuses. the brain is an organ, and can get disorders like every other organ and can need medication again like every other organ. if the medication helps you, bingo! you've got a physical disorder!

CritterKeeper Corn snakes can make great pets but if you're this close to going away to college what will happen to it if you can't take it with you? What if you just don't have enough time to devote to it with all your studying? I'd say hold off for awhile and enjoy the...

Amber Have you thought about getting a gecko? The Geico commercials are so popular, and that lizard is looked upon as a cute mascot, maybe she'd make the association and not be against it. It seems less threatening to get a gecko when you see an animated one on TV...

maddiemazing I think you should spend time with him when he is inside, even if that means closing him in your room with you. Then, take out some toys he used to play with, give him a little wet cat food, and try to get him to associate being with you and good things.
