Q. My husband and I have been saving our loose change (anything that's a five and under) in a tin for a while and we now have a little over $500 dollars saved and we want to go on a vacation with it. We want to vacation in the south east (FL, TN, GA, AL), we wouldn't be able to leave for an other 3-4 weeks and we'd like something that last 4-7 days. Does anyone know of a cheap vacation in the south east? Preferably something that is all inclusive and that's no more then $500 or $600 for two people. Any ideas would be great! Thanks!
Answer
500 isn't very much, you'd have a hard time finding even a basic hotel for 500 a weak.
not to worry, there are a few thing you can be if your creative though.
now I'm not sure what your into but I have some ideas I shall list in order from awesome to adventurous.
how would your feal about free tickets to an event , 3 very High quality meals a day, also free, free lodging, and endless like-minded friends.
if that's in your wheelhouse, well then you my friend are an ideal candidate for a vol-cation. they work like this, find something you both like a music festival, NASCAR race, or any number of lifestyle festival that normally charge a ton of money to get in. most of them will let you in free and do everything else outlined above if you volunteer for a set amount of time.
now me personally I don't like music that much so after I'm done eating I just go site see around the area. it a boatload of fun!
the only thing I pay is gas and toll. the one I go to is in the summer but that's mostly cause it in new England where it cold. they have them all times of the year down south.
now this next one may sound unsafe due to a fictional movie off the same name, but you could stay in a hostel for $20 per night per person an most of the time get a meal or 2 or 3 included free. I've know many a folk that's stayed in a hostel and non had any trouble. you could also go from hostel to hostel and make it a road trip. my experience is that there clean, safe, and convenient
why we'll talking about road trips every one know that Amtrak can be a really slow whey to get around.
but you can use that to your advantage on a road trip by eliminating the need for a hotel room.
Amtrak Bedroom Suite's come with as many as 2 bathrooms to a suite(with showers). just find a city 8 or 10 hours away and leaving about your bed time and sleep there. meals are also included.
now if that does not tickle your funny bone, find and park(preferably one with no lights) and sleep in your trunk I love sleeping in my trunk its very cozy, like sleeping in a cocoon. might be a shave tight with 2 people, don't know I never tried it. drain pipes and under bridges can also be quite adventurous, there cool because most of the time no one will care if you build a fire why your in there, can't do that in a hotel!
what ever you choose I do hope you enjoy it!

can anyone give me tips on having a lop eared rabbit?
michele j
i am adopting a 6 month old female lop eared rabbit and i need some tips please.
Answer
Rabbits are high maintenance pets. They are not the cute nose twitching fluff balls that people think. There are many things to consider when purchasing a pet.
The start up for a rabbit will be around 500 dollars, and you should always have about $1000 set aside for emergencies. You need cage, bedding, water bottle, bowls, hay, veggies, pellets, toys(expect these to be ruined, I replace toys once a month), litter boxes, etc.
Not all rabbits are friendly. Most do not like to be held or cuddled. They freak out if they are picked up incorrectly and kick with their back legs.
They are fairly independent when they are out of their cage. I consider mine pretty friendly, tolerates being picked up, pet in cage, but even she will not let me pet her once she is out. If you don't mind watching a rabbit run and hop, then they make good pets.Rabbits have a specific diet. Under one year they need alfalfa hay, and pellets, with veggies introduced one at a time. After one year they need mostly veggies(mine gets two cups of assorted veggies, half cup pellets and timothy hay),no more alfalfa past one year. Weight needs to be maintained, as over weight rabbits will have health issues.
Rabbits need to be spayed/neutered. Males will have sexual aggression, and females can get cancers if not altered.
Rabbits need a cage large enough to hop around and should be out of their cage for several hours per day(minimum should be 6, but defiantly no less than 4). If you do not have time to allow her to run about for a few ours than rabbit ownership is not for you. It is cruel to only have her out for 1 or 2 hours a day, that would be like you only being allowed out of your bedroom for 1-2 hours. Rabbits are social creatures. They must be supervised as they chew wires, books, carpet, etc. They are destructive, I knew a person whose rabbit ripped the wallpaper off the wall. Be prepared to have bare spots in your carpet from chewing and furniture ruined
Keeping a rabbit outside is not advised as they can be killed by predators. No hutch is completely secure against dogs, raccons, etc. Your rabbit will need to be kept inside.
They most certainly smell, the urine is very potent. They urinate frequently, my rabbit can sometimes drink an entire water bottle(32 oz) in one day. There poo gets everywhere. They can be litter trained, but are not like cats that will seek out the litter box. You need several boxes all over and even then they might not use it when out of the cage. Even if the rabbit is trained now it may have some set back for awhile when it first comes into your home.
Rabbits are messy, they like to dig and throw out litter, I find poo pellet everywhere around the cage.
I have a rabbit and love her, but that is because I respect and understand the kind of pet a rabbit is. Rabbits are not for everyone, and it depends on what you are looking for. If you don't mind a pet that is not too cuddly, does thier own thing, than a rabbit may work for you. Reversely if you are looking for a pet that can be held and pet that you may want to go in a different direction.
