Um what happens if your cat isn't going pee at all. Is my cat sick? Or is it normal for boy cats who got fixed? I never had a bo
Serhud [2]

Answer:Pee is a funny little substance. It actually has lots of good stuff in it. Stuff you can’t live without in many cases – things like potassium and sodium and water. Your body, and more specifically, your kidneys, sense and adjust the composition of your bodily fluids and dump the excess into the urine. Just ate a super-sized order of fries with an ocean’s worth of sodium in it? Here come the kidneys to say ‘hold the salt’ and dump the unwanted excess into the urine. Ditto with lots of other substances, like water, that need to be regulated. And pee is (usually) sterile – unless you have a urinary tract infection (UTI) pee is pure enough that you could clean your windows with it. I’m not advocating doing anything crazy with it (except maybe writing your name in the snow), but it’s not the heinous grody stuff that many third graders make it out to be. True, it does have the waste products of metabolism in it, which your body definitely needs to get rid of.

What influence may be a negative influence that you want to change to help your eating habits improve? Explain how we can make t
djyliett [7]

Answer:

Negative influence: Snacking before dinner

Explaination: Snacking before dinner causes our stomach to be full in a not very stable way because snacking is only meant as an appetizer before our eyes. But what we must retain in mind is that, this habit may cause to neglect our main meal that is taken importantly such as breakfast, dinner and lunch . For example, if you're eating a packet of chips before dinner, you might soon feel full and leave out your plate of food for dinner. After doing so, you will go to sleep and then start feeling hungry resulting in gas. So that is not a very proper way of eating.

Komok [63]

Answer:

accept life's disappointments

Explanation:

accepting life's disappointments is a good thing because it can allow you to see that life isn't perfect, and you shouldn't expect it to be either. there's going to be disappointments and successes for everyone.

feel uncertain about themselves <--- not good; can lead to poor decisionmaking and low self-esteem

let their emotions drive their decisions <--- not good; can also lead to poor decisionmaking. or just really bad decisions that you'll regret later. sometimes it's actually better to <em>not</em> let your emotions drive the decisions you make, and use logic instead

do not to laugh at themselves or with others <--- not good; you should be able to laugh at yourself! it can make you feel better because you're not 24/7 taking yourself seriously. it's okay to just laugh at silly mistakes you make
