Golden Year Question?A 'Golden Year' I have heard is when your age is the same as the month you were born. In numerology higher double digit numbers are reduced to simpler ones eg: 55 could be reduced to 10 (as 5+5=10). Would that mean I can have a number of "Golden Years" as long as the age reduces to 10 the number of the month I was born in?

Dog Has Started to Pee on Our Bed?We have a 3 year old, female Boston Terrier/Pug. She has peed in our bed twice now, during the middle of the night, and has "never" done this before. She is let out all the time, all day/night. We let her out each night before bed, and like I said, this has never been an issue.

 

Cleaning a Dooney and Burke Purse?I was given a Dooney and Burke by my mom. She said I could have it and clean it up. So I cleaned it with Gain, a toothbrush, and water. It cleaned well, but the problem is I got the leather trademark on it wet and it looks bad! It bled on the fabric and it has water marks on the leather.
