How to tame a rat that hasn't been handled for 4 to 5 months?

Time and patience. You are going to have to reteach her to trust humans. Start just by talking to her not trying to touch or interact in any other way. Rats are social and despite her fear she will want the company. Treats and other food titbits are will help break down the barriers but don't invade her sapce too soon and don't expect over night success. We had one rat (called trigger because he was so fast) in a very similar situation, he used to try to bite anyone who put their hand in or even near his cage. It took several months of patient behaviour but eventually he became a very nice pet, responding to his name and shoulder sitting for a better view of the world. He would still bite if startled (as I found to my cost when he slipped and I reached into catch him)but generally he was as friendly as most of our others.

Am I stepping over the line by only seeing my parents outside their house (see details)?

If you have a legitimate reason, healthwise, as you have said, then this is fine. I didn't read anywhere here where anyone was complaining, so if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

How do i drive manual on G35 Sedan 2003?

Hey just stop the car put it in manule start driving and every time the rpm get to about 4000 push the gear lever up to the next gean. And when slowing down doo the opposite when the rpm gets under 3000 shft down simple ( you don't have to let off the gas) and when your on the high way going a stedy speed u can save gas buy shifting up 1 gear. Soo say if you are doing 50 in 4th gear you can save gas buy shifting to 5th gear the rpm will go lower and saw gas the car is smart if u don't shift up or down it will do it on it's own u cann only shift up extra 2 gears and down 2 extra gears

What a boring NCAAF season....?

The whole season went by and nothing changed. SEC winner vs Texas and it never changed. What a boring season. Nebraska had that game and any other time a player throws the ball out of bounds, the clock does run off a few extra seconds but they never look at it. I understand the cirstances but really if i was Nebraska, I'd be super pissed. BORING SEASON eventhough theres what? 5 undefeated teams? Honestly I think Cinci could be more deserving than Texas anyway but because of the preseson polls, the only way Texas wouldnt make the BCS Title was if they lost. Kind of unfair that a preseason poll can decide the eventual BCS title teams.

The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory?

I really don't know, i couldn't finish the second part of the book. it all seemed way too obvious what was going to happen. the blurb tells you exactly that anne will take over from her sister in seducing the king and well i know that the king marries her from general history so i just couldnt force myself to read it. does it get any more mysterious or go any further than that?

What percentage of Texans favor independence for Texas?

I'm not looking for an exact percentage but are there reasonably accurate polls, surveys etc to back up these statistics.
