Is it smart to quit your job to work at a temp agency?

My husband currently works at Target(has worked there for about 15 months), in the stockroom making $9 an hour. It is not a full time job, he would be lucky if he even got 30 hours of work each week, the weekly hours are not consistent, he thought he would be guaranteed 40 housr each week when he got hired, but he only works 16-24 hours. And when the store does not make their goal for the month, hours are cut. He has been looking for a full time job working at a warehouse for about four months now and has not had any luck. He is very relaxed and chill about the situation, unlike me I am more aggressive. Anyway, I keep telling him that he should go to a temporary agency, and even though you will be temporary that you would be working full time and after three months you could become permanent. He does not like the idea, he thinks it is too risky leaving his job to go to a temp job and so does his parents....but of course they will they grew up in a time where stability was very important in a job, his mom has worked at a hospital for 25 years, his dad has worked for the city for 20 years. Nowadays, you cant get that kind of stability in jobs, most ppl dont even make it to retirement without being laid off at 50 years old or right before they retire. Off in a rant I go, so anyway, is it a bad idea that he quit his part time job to take a job at a temporary agency, where he would be working full time? Or am I not thinking with my head?

Ideas for natural product to protect hooves from rats?

We have a problem with barn rats and have taken all the natural measures to resolve it -- food in containers, cats, dogs, removing hiding places, snap traps, live traps, etc. I will not use bait so please don't suggest it -- too dangerous for the domestic animals. My mini horse's hooves are now the target of the evil barn rats. In a matter of days they managed to tear off hoof wall growth and nibble the frog down to the quick. (They are not going after the coronary band....this is the bottom of the hooves so it's being done when he lays down.) I have used iodine and wraps and now they've gone through that. My shoer has never seen this level of rat activity and only my mini horse is affected. Has anyone found a natural product that can be used to coat the hooves as a deterrent? I am going to try hot sauce tonight but if anyone has encountered this and has a solution, PLEASE help. After a week of iodine and wraps he at least wasn't sore, but that will change overnight at this rate.

My dog is limping and I dont know why?

I have a 2yr old chinese shar-pei. I got home from work on monday and he was fine...jumping around and playing with the other dog...an english bulldog. I left the house to go get sum groceries and when i returned, the shar-pei's left hind leg was bent up and he was limping. i examined him...checked his paw for cuts or objects..nothing. I moved his leg around and lightly stretched it..nothing. he never once yelped in pain, cried or moved away. I took to vet on tuesday afternoon. he did have some swelling in the HOCK and was put on steroids and antibiotics. today is fri afternoon and he is still limping, can it be broken and the vet missed it? other than that he is eating normally, going potty normal, still manages to run around on 3 legs. im just SO worried as to what it can be. Any ideas, i would really appreciate it!!!!

My duck (2 months) has a swollen hock. I think its bacterial infection but im not too sure. I read on the internet that i should give him injections from the vet but my dad wont let me go to the vet. So i was thinking about another alternative to heal his swollen knee. Can you suggest some please :) and i already placed a splint on his knee.

Is handwriting analysis an occult activity?

Recently a couple of people told me that handwriting analysis, which I had always considered a forensic science, was an occult activity similar to astrology, numerology, etc. Has anyone else ever heard this? This POV seems bizarre to me.

Swollen hock treatment?

I noticed a cut on the front of my mare's hock. It is hot and swollen around it, but the cut is not even deep. It's more like the skin just got shaved off leaving a quarter or half dollar sized scrape. She pulls her leg away from me when I touch it, but I managed to get it cleaned up without getting my head taken off. I already called the vet and set up an appointment for Wednesday afternoon. Is there anything I can buy (or make) to put on it to get her along until then? I just want to make sure she's as comfortable as possible. I am planning on hosing with cold water for the swelling. Should I be walking her lightly or not? The cut itself is not serious at all, but I am afraid that her joint is infected.... :(
