I'm getting a small, light brown dachsund mix female dog... very quiet/mellow personality. Any name ideas? Preferably two syllables. Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure whether to use "is" or "are" in a sentence. Which of the following sentences is grammatically correct?

If I have a table displaying data showing the percentage change in the number of apples at 12/31/11, versus 12/31/10, with zero apples at 12/31/10 and two apples at 12/31/11, what should show as the percentage change from 12/31/10 to 12/31/11.... 100%, 0%, or a slash " - " symbol? When I do this in Excel, it gives me an error message of #DIV/0! instead of a percentage calculation.

Which of these names do you like for my new female kitten?

Other ideas welcome, but I'm leaning toward the above. Thanks!

My cat was diagnosed with non-effusive FIP a couple days ago with a very bad prognosis of a few weeks or so to live. Her blood work and symptoms are all in line with the disease. I'm very devastated to lose her. She's only 10 months old and such a sweet, beautiful cat. I'd really like to make the time I have left with her while she's still functional and not in pain special, so I'm trying to think of what types of things a cat would want to do in their life before dying kind of like a "bucket list." All I've done so far is let her drink milk and whatever she wants to eat, which isn't really a treat since she has no appetite due to the illness. She's not really into toys anymore either. She's very scared of riding in the car or going outside, so I'm limited to what I can do for her. Does anyone have any ideas what kind of things a cat would like?

My cat has not eaten in 5 days. She caught a cold from my other cat and has had a rising temperature the last couple days that is up to 104.8 now. I have been taking her to the vet every day and she is continuing to get treatment there daily (antibiotic shots and fluid injections). However, I am wondering if anyone has any tricks for how they got their sick cats to eat? I've tried canned foods, tuna, etc. and she turns away everything. I just don't want the lack of eating to further worsen her condition. Any suggestions?

I got a 3 mth old kitten two days ago and her rescue foster mother told me she had just gotten over a runny eye and had been taking medication, but she thought she was fine now. Her eye has been fine, but she's been sneezing quite a bit for the past two days ever since I got her. Will a cold go away on it's own or does she need to go back on meds?

Hi. Does anyone know of any nice, upscale restaurants in the Los Angeles area that have live music or entertainment, maybe jazz or something that would be a good place for a group of 10 on a week night? All ideas are greatly appreciated. I'm considering the Vibrato Grill Jazz in Bel Air. Has anyone tried it or have any other suggestions? Thanks!

Hi. Does anyone know of any nice, more upscale restaurants in the LA area... especially any that offer karaoke? I am trying to plan an event for 10 of my co-workers (we are in our 20's and 30's) from my accounting firm. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

I like the name Casey for a girl, but I am wondering if that isn't a good spelling since it's the one used for a boy also. What spellings of it for a girl do you like? I can think of Cacee, Kasey, Kacee, Kasie. Which is your favorite or any other spelling suggestions. Also, which first/middle combo is better: Casey Michelle or Casey Lynn?

Do you like the name Valerie Kristine? What do you think about it?
