My son is starting to have a little trouble with hard stools because of a common issue from a condition he was born with. He was born with imperforate anus that has since then been corrected and the most common issue with growing kids with the condition start to exerience constipation. He has regular bowel movements, but has trouble passing them because they’re hard. My doctor recommended Miralax, but after reading some online reviews about it being used in children I don’t want to give it to him. There were some bad horror stories. Anyone know of over the counter stool softeners for kids? I don’t want him to be cleaned out because that isn’t the problem and home remedies and diet doesn’t help. Any help is appreciated.

Hey I was wondering if someone could help me get the answer for these questions?
and show me how to do it please?

1) Four boys and two girls sit in a line on stools in front of a counter. Find the number of ways in which they can arrange themselves:

b) at least one green bubble gum
c) at least one green bubble gum and at least one red bubble gum
d) at least one red bubble gum given that there is at least one green bubble gum.
11) A committee of three is to be chosen from a group of four men and five women. Find the probability that the committee contains:
a) all women
b) at least one woman
c) exactly 2 men given that at least one man is chosen

Because of unusual life circumstances, I’m in my 2nd year of college now, but taking math for the first time in TEN YEARS. I’m sitting in my room trying to do my homework right now(220 math problems) and my 14 year old brother is chasing my 9 yr old brother around the house. They’re both screaming, the 9 year old is crying, they are throwing glass(dishes, candles) and heavy furniture(chairs, stools, small tables and bookshelves) my 14 yr old brother kicked down the bathroom door, and my 16 year old brother is making the whole thing worse by chasing BOTH of the boys and throwing things at them both while laughing and mocking them.
My 13 yr old sister has been sitting outside my door for the past 2 hours on the phone, singing, yelling, and talking VERY LOUD in just plain gibberish with her friend on speaker phone. My 11 and 8 year old sisters are in the kitchen, and they’ve totally destroyed it- napkins, silverware, food, dishes, etc. are COVERING the countertops and the floors. my room is shaking right now and a painting just fell off my wall. I tried to stop the boys and the 16 yr old punched me really hard and pushed me into the wall. How normal is this on a 1-10 scale and what would you do!?!?!! HELP
I’m having trouble breathing right now and my heart is beating really fast. My chest feels "tight" =’( I can’t get anything done this way!!!!
I can’t leave it’s storming and there’s a hurricane watch in our area

My puppy has been having darker stools lately. His stool isn’t black but it’s a dark brown color and his poop is of a smaller amount then before. There are no traces of bloods or worms. He’s eating fine, drinking water regularly, and as active as can be – basically, he seems normal. Also, he goes to the bathroom less.

I switched him over to Innova Puppy. And yesterday, he jumped onto the counter and ate half a can of Spam. The stool was already dark before this incident though. (My mom feeds his table scraps occasionally. She promised she’s going to stop though.)

I’m taking him to the vet tomorrow. So my question is, how dark does a puppy’s stool have to be to be unhealthy?

His is a little lighter then the color of dark coffee, and around the color of brown coffee. I’m not sure if that makes sense so..

His stool is similar to that color.
Since the picture is in the corner, my computer views it as black until I move myself to look at it directly. So I’m just saying, his stool isn’t black.
The stool is usually solid and at the end, it gets a little soft. Usually they’re in two pieces. No I cannot see any undigested food pieces. His butt seems fine and not irritated. He goes very easily. And Innova isn’t a dark colored food.

13) If no digit can be used more than once, find out how many numbers formed from the digits 3,4,5,6,7,8 which are:
A. six-digit numbers and even
B. greater than 7000

15) Four boys and two girls sit in a line on stools in front of a counter. Find the number of ways in which they can arrange themselves:
A. If there are no restrictions
B. If the two girls wish to be at the ends.

Does anyone know who I could contact or e-mail regarding letting all retail employees sit on stools at the cash registers? It doesn’t mean that we are lazy or not doing our jobs! We can still do our jobs if we were allowed to just sit down (few minutes here and there) when there is no one at the counter! I know this is a hard question, but I was just thinking about the fact that I hate how all retail stores make their employees stand all day like dogs. My feet and legs are hurting!! Please post your feelings on this subject!

When getting the kitchen put in 3 years ago, I asked for one of the counters to be extra wide about 8". I wanted one side of this to be used as a breakfast counter. Well, we never used it for that, never even bought stools to go under it. It would make the kitchen miles too small. Is there anyway the ‘over hang’ can be cut off? without messing up the conter, or the cupboard that sits ontop of the counter?

I go out to dinner alone a lot and I tend to go to some of the same places. I also travel a lot so end up eating alone. Whatever. I have noticed through the years that the reaction of the wait staff is frequently very rude when someone walks in alone.
First off I get looked at like I’m from outer space because I’m alone. I go to a very upscale restaurant that I enjoy and they have all new staff. Probably 18-25 years old. The first thing the girl does is say "can I help you?" Like I’m some kind of nut walking in off the street. I ask for a table and tell her "one." There are many tables available but she asks if I wouldn’t mind sitting at the bar. I went over to the bar, which is not a comfortable place and not really a bar, but more of a waiting area with a couple of stools at a counter. (they don’t take reservations so a lot of people stand around up there). I finally said "you know what…I really would like a table and I know you have them available." So I got a table, the service was not great. I go in there all the time but I guess it’s the new staff.

I’ve also gone in restaurants where the lone diner (me) never got waited on at all and was completely ingored. I walked out.

I think it is probably an attitude where they are concerned they won’t get a good tip if it’s only one person. I happen to tip very well if I get treated decently. How do they know I’m not a food critic, or just someone traveling from out of town.

Why does the lone diner get treated like dirt?
Jim, you are too funny you took the time to check my question history. I’d say you are the eccentric one.
And no, I don’t have an attitude. I just walk in the door and say ‘one, please."
Your wife probably gets good service because they don’t want to be accused of racism.

I like this guy, but i don’t know if i should tell him. Lets call him Drake.

We went to disney yesterday, it was Him, Me, My best friend, and Her Bf. And when it was getting dark, i was FREEZING and he gave me his jacket. Was that a hint? Or did he just not want me to be cold.?

Then his friend came to disney at like 7 pm. Lets call him Andrew. And when he was going to walk over to the bathrooms, Andrew said to Drake "If you guys leave me, im going to steal Grace(thats my name) away from you" and Drake had like an ‘uhh what are you talking about face’ when u dont want someone to know something kind of face. Was his facial expression a sign?

Then the rest of the night, Andrew was flirting with me and sitting next to me on ALL the rides we went on the rest of the night. Was that to make Drake jealous, kind of like ‘im stealing the girl you like’?

When ever I got the chance to give some signs to Drake that i liked him, it was only 3 times.
1. At one point we were in the haunted mansion, and i didnt want to loose him so i took his arm to hold onto him, and then the next time i did that i took his hand.

2. When we were sitting on stools by a counter at a eating place. I was sitting next to him, but TURNED to him, and i put my feet around one of his legs. He didnt say anything about it, until i said "Its comfortable like this" and Drake said "Yeah your boots are soft" .

3.On the way home, i "fell" asleep, and he was in the back seat so i dangled my arm over the seat and had my finger tips touching his leg.

Could those be some signs to him, that can give him the hint?

I want to tell him REALLY bad, but i dont know if he likes me. But then i think that he does, because the way he acts around me and stuff.

We’ve(Me and Drake. It wasnt like dates or anything) gone to Halloween horror nights, universal, and disney together.
But im still not sure.
But i want to take the risk. Because if he likes me then GREAT! But if he doesn’t then we can always stay friends.

Here’s what i had in mind, how to tell him:
I was going to text him in the afternoon, and be like:

"I don’t like Andrew. I like someone else"
Then when he responds wouldn’t it be instinct to wonder & ask who i like?
So when he does, i was going to say:
"Think, who could i like who was with us yesterday"
And then obviously its not my friends Bf and its not Andrew. So who’s left? Drake.
So i thought it would be nice to have him think about it, and figure it out like that instead of me directly saying that i like him.

And then we would just go on from there. And if he likes me then THATS GREAT! But if not i can be content with being friends.

Is that a good way to tell him? I figured a text situation would be better, because its a more comfortable situation. And if he ends up saying he likes me too, then we can call each other. And he he doesn’t, its less awkward.

So my questions that I asked in here, can you answer them for me?

Any advice?
Thanks(:
I apologize that this is really long.

so a couple nights ago i had this dream about this guy my friend likes. i used to like the guy a couple years ago but then i didnt see him since then and now i have two classes with him. i didnt think that i like him again, and i dont want to bc im afriad it will ruin my freindship with my friend who likes him. this is the dream:

i walked into language arts, where he sits behind me and next to my friend who likes him. my friend wanted me to tell him that she liked him for her while she went to the bathroom. so as soon as she left i passed him a note on my agenda that said " (my friends name) likes u". he didnt relpy at first so i wrote "soooo????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

and he said "im in love." and said "yay! im so happy 4 u and (my friends name)"

he took a LONG time writing and finally passed back my agenda and he had drawn a huge picture of hearts that had our names in it. i relplied "what?" and he just drew another picture like that 1st one.

then, he wrote "so will u b mine?" and i said "idk"

and he said "i really like u and ur the prettiest girl ive ever seen and i knew i liked u the second u walked in the room on the 1st day of school and i wish i had asked u out when u sed u liked me 2 years ago but i guess i lost my chance"

and i replied "i feel the same way about you and whenever im around u i feel so excited but shes one of my best friends and she wanted me to set u and her up and i dont want her to be mad at me"

and then he said "just in case u change ur mind just please give me ur number so i can txt u" just then my friend walked back into the room and the teacher grabbed the note and read it to the class, but i dont remember what happened.

then i was at my mom’s boyfriends house, but it was different and there was extra floor and i was in a room with a counter top, a bunkbed, stools at the counter and red lamps. i was talking to him on AIM and i gave him my number. i was wearing denim shorts and a yellow and purple shirt. i had just come back from the mall. my hair was up in pigtails, which i never wear. what does this mean? my sister says it means i like him but i wont let myself like him.

I adopted the last 2 kittens from a litter on Sunday the 24th, a little girl and little boy. I went only wanting 1 kitten but when I arrived, they were covered in their own fecal matter, living outside in a cage with momma kitty no where to be found, at 5 1/2 weeks. I did not have the heart to leave one there in missery and give the other a loving home. We we got back to my house, I gave both kittens a bath, some kitten food (softened with warm water) and they took a nap. The girl kitten was/ is doing just fine. She is very playful, eats her food when I feed her and drinks plenty of water. Her stools were loose a few days ago but have begun to solidify. Her brother on the other hand was almost the exact opposite. I would have to wake him, put him in the litter box, stand there til he went potty ( which means waking him up as he would fall asleep) pick him back up, carry him to the food dish, put 1 piece of food at a time in his mouth (as he would not eat on his own) and give him water with a syringe (as he would not drink on his own).All he wanted to sleep, and he would have for 24 hours a day if I hadn’t constantly woke him up. Monday night I got him some pedialite and fed him some rice with chicken broth and he seemed to being doing ok. At first his stools were very watery with a little blood (worried me so I made an appointment with the vet for Tuesday) Tuesday he was acting just like his sister. Seemed to be a normal kitten. Stool still watery but lacking the blood. So I decided to for go the vet ( kicking my self in the back side for that decision). Come wednesday afternoon I wake up ( I work nights at my job so I slepp during the day) and find him laying on the kitchen floor, eyes open, not breathing with a trail of blood from where he started pooping to where he took his last breath. Anyone have any ideas on what might have caused him to pass away? I am thinking ring worm but not sure.

is counter height, black and with storage underneath. i want it to look similar to this one (http://www.amazon.com/Contemporary-Style-Counter-Height-Dining/dp/B00399COLM/ref=pd_sbs_hg_17) except in black.

P.S. it doesn’t have to come with stools

up.l
and i really cant afford to go to the doctor i have been pay off a doctor last time i went for about 4 months now and he just said there was much he could do and there want.just wondering if anyone had any idea what it might be and in over the counter medications also it not super horible i can still work but today getting a little worse and since its been a week i kinda conserned i almost slway wait it out but this isnt getting better also stools have been soft ever since also i get home latter then supper time so my food is cooked later i dont know if that has any to do or not

There are 10 workers in a town.
There are 2 lunch spots in a town.
Every day, each worker chooses to eat at one of these places, with the two lunch spots equally likely to be chosen. Both places provide only counter seating(no tables).
One owner has ten stools at her counter in case all ten workers come to her place on the same day. The other owner realizes that it is unlikely that all ten will come on the same day. He figures it’s okay for business as long as he is not short of stools more than an average of 1 per month. Because there are typically 20 work days per month, he decides to have enough stools so that the chance of running short on any given day is less than 5 %.
How many stools should he provide? Why?
