2:35 am
>> okay, we have a question from across the street. i thought this said, or call child protective services if you thought the child was in trouble. >> we are going way over. >> hey, that's not for you to decide. that was in the notes. >> you are very thorough, kathie lee. >> call child protective services? >> if you think the parents are being neglectful to the point it's criminal, yes. >> i guess you know who reads the notes and who doesn't now. >> gina who has been patiently waiting with a live question, better than these, is across the street. hey, gina. >> hi, my name is gina from new jersey. i live in a cul-de-sac. my question is, what do you do when your new neighbor lets their two little dogs poop on your lawn and then doesn't clean it up? >> last segment, we talked about the dogs peeing in the yard. this is worse than that.
2:36 am
talk to them. this is a new neighbor. maybe this is the first time they are living in the suburbs. have the conversation. if that's not working, you get into a situation where you have to approach the local authorities. this is trespassing. the dog may be doing their thing. getting used to the neighborhood. first speak to the owner. >> speak directly to them. >> that was a lovely first conversation. hi, welcome to the neighborhood. >> bring a basket of biscuits. >> thank you so much. >> thank you for revealing a well-known secret around here. now it's not a secret anymore. >> what? how to deal with bug bites and pesky outdoor problems. from scratches on the furniture to patching cracks in your sidewalk, we'll show you how to do home repairs by yourself, after this. donuts? ♪ you're cute. ♪ ding

2:49 am
how do i make time for me without hurting him and/or feeling guilty? >> she wants "me" time. your husband retired young. >> i can definitely relate to this one. my husband retired and all of a sudden, he has free time. my advice to her is, definitely sit down and have a conversation with him. tell him you really love and appreciate that he wants to spend all his time with you. but you need to have some free time to work and also to relax. so, just be honest, have a conversation with him. >> but don't hurt his feelings. >> yeah. >> you think that's the best way to go? >> it's a great way to go. you have to acknowledge your life changed so dramatically because you were going to work every day and you had this whole work life. let's think about the things you like to do now that don't involve me and let's plan that together. he needs to feel he's still a part of your life but you also need time on your own.
2:50 am
>> and make dates. >> they can make dates. >> she is going to feel guilty. but that's okay. you can feel guilty. a little guilt never hurt anybody. >> i like guilt. i'm really fond of shame. >> here's a question from jocelyn. i'm definitely feeling stuck in my life. i'm unmotivated about my job. i'm a mom and juggling responsibility, ignoring my own needs and i end up frustrated. a lot of people feel that way. >> you're unhappy and your whole family is unhappy. >> this is a tag from the other one. she's not taking care of herself. take care of yourself and keep -- she's juggling a lot of balls. the one that has to stay there will prevent her from becoming resentful and frustrated and take it out on everyone else. >> so many people rely on you. >> you do one thing at a time. what were you going to say? >> do one thing at a time, set your priorities. maybe you are trying to do all these things and you can't do everything right. figure out what you have to do first, get that out of the way. and that will give you free time
2:51 am
to do all the other things you have to do. >> if you are frustrated in your job and unmotivated, someone once said, find something you want to do, dedicate 10% of your time and 10% of your money toward that other thing so you don't feel frustrated. >> it's a great suggestion. this woman is looking for a job and looking to improve her life because she wants to go to school. that's a positive action. she needs to remember that positive place she wants to be. >> we have time for a quick one. the next is from angie. i'm 32 years old and single. i work full time, all my friends and family are married and/or having kids. i am trying to meet guys, but i'm introverted. do you have ideas for her? >> yeah, she should find groups of things she likes to do. what is fun for you? are you in a church group, do you like going to the gym, do you like spinning classes, yoga? >> zumba. >> right, start shaking it. >> she is introverted. one of the things we have to pay
2:52 am
attention to is when someone is introverted, going into a group is a horrible thing. and a lot of people who give advice about what to do are extroverts and don't understand. i like to suggest to people do it in a small amount of time, then relax. you have to recharge your batteries when it's hard for you to do that. >> go with a friend. >> go with a friend. understand there are limits. you can meet people doing anything as long as your best self is what you put out there. >> if you have an open mind and smile. >> thank you, ladies, we appreciate it. >> cute. adorable. what's bugging you? >> how to deal with insect bites and other outdoor problems. first, this is "today" on nbc.
2:56 am
as we spend more time outdoors enjoying the weather, long walks and backyard grilling, we have to deal with the pesky insects and bug bites. >> here with what you need to know is dr. v. >> that's what i call her. >> we do. >> let's start with the stuff out there in the wilderness. poison ivy and poison oak. >> awful stuff. a lot of us have it in our gardens and we have pets and they brush up against it and brush up against us -- >> if it's in their dander, it's easy to spread, isn't it? >> absolutely. >> what should you do if you come in contact with it? >> the toxin that is on the plant leaf is not water soluble. you can't rinse it off with water. you need to use some type of rubbing alcohol or strong soap to get it off. say i have it on my clothes, if i hug you, i can spread it to you.
2:57 am
so make sure that you take your clothes off, you are using a strong astringent to get it off. >> you have to be able to identify it to know what it is. >> right, absolutely. so there's a little joke, everyone says leaves of three you want to stay away. that is absolutely true. if you see a leaf that has three clovers or anything, stay away. >> mosquito bites is another one. when you get bitten, i say i have a mosquito bite but i don't know -- >> could have been a spider, could have been a bee. >> true, true. >> a lot of us, in this area, we are getting mosquito bites. they just sprayed for them. they are pesky. most of us aren't going to get west nile from them. but some of us can be really allergic to them. i have strong reactions to them. they are attracted to dark clothing, alcohol, perfume, sweat, pregnant women. >> now we know why. >> they love -- oh, really, pregnant women? >> different blood types. the important thing to do is treat the itchy symptoms. you have an antihistamine to use
2:58 am
