My sister's guinea pig doesn't have a cagemate, but it has been like that for 3 years and it has been fine. It is cheerful, tends to run around, but I am wondering if I should get a companion.

Definitely look into getting your guinea pig a companion, as they are social animals that like to be in pairs or small groups of three to four. While your guinea pig may seem happy; they generally do not show signs of loneliness. Introduce a baby guinea pig to your current guinea pig.

I recently moved and I still really like a guy from my old school. It has been a month and a half now. He does not like me (I'm pretty sure). I tried to stop liking him but I just can't no matter what. I have known him for seven years and liked him all along. What should I do?

Sounds like this is pretty entrenched! Make sure you are putting away any mementos that remind you of him. Also make certain that you have disconnected from his social media...

I have a 1929 1/4oz .999 fine silver Indian incuse ring and I am wondering if this is safe for it?

It could go wrong trying to do it yourself, so it would be best to take it to an experienced jeweler.

I am 58 years old, and I no longer have an imperforate hymen. BUT my mom told me many years ago (she is gone now) that the pediatrician told her to use a washcloth on me as an infant and open what must have been this type of hymen tissue up. Any knowledge of this "treatment" anywhere?

This type of treatment is more commonly used to treat what is called labial adhesions. This is when the labia or outer lips of the vagina essentially stick together. You...

I am trying to lose weight but I have been put on treatment for an under-active thyroid gland and nothing I've tried works. I was wondering if Tetly tea and fresh lemon juice would help me lose weight. I already try to eat as healthy as possible and walk between 3 and 6 miles every day.

Be patient with yourself, and give the thyroid treatment time to work. The classic Tetley Tea is a black tea, so why not switch and try a green tea? You...
