Grocery tax here is about 4%, whereas for other stuff it's about 7%. Eating out is almost 10% tax, I think.

Ours are all rescues, and each is very special in its own way. As far as looks go, if a cat is well-fed and healthy (shiny fur, clear eyes, etc.), I tend to think it is a beautiful cat. Some day I would like to have a Maine Coon, but if I don't, that will be okay too. I think I would be more...

Okay, the babies are 11 months old now, but I found this pic of them when they were tiny. I miss them being so little ...

Skittles has a certain pathetic meow which means he wants to jump on my lap. Then, when he does, he likes to bury his nose in the crook of my elbow. So cute.

Tubby started a little before we could get him neutered (fairly early), but he stopped right after. However, if it becomes an ingrained habit, they could keep on doing it.

Ooh, ooh, I found my "shrine" of fuzzy mice! The kitties love to play with their toys in the kitchen and dining room because the wood floor allows for a lot of long distance flicks. A few months ago, when I decided to clean under the stove, I pulled out the drawer, and lo and behold! Mice! (And...

I wear a 36D, and it's a pain to find (though nothing compared to you girls with the F cups and up) because most stores start their D cups at a 38. I've always been overweight, and I have this dream that if I lose all the weight I need to that my boobs will drop, not just to a C, but to a B, and...

That drives me nuts too. I always say, "Yeah, I can see what you're doing now." I use turn signals religiously (although not in parking lots if there's no one around to see the signal). One time I was driving reeeeeally late at night with my roommate (before I got married) and had my signal on...

I rebel against the idea that women have to wear makeup every day, and I most certainly rebel against high heels. I rebel against mindless corporatespeak, and most especially the use of the word "gift" as a verb. I rebel against the dullness of the workday; I like to insert a little fun into...

I love tuna! I make my tuna salad with mayo, a tiny bit of mustard, some dill pickle relish, minced onion, a little celery salt, and freshly ground pepper. It's soooo good. I don't eat it more than once a week, though—mercury.

Also it's great with Parrot Bay (coconut-flavored) rum!

Oooh, I love the kitten-hiss. It's SO cute!

Trust me, I know! Shawn and I were just totally irritated at first. And then when we figured it out, it was only slightly less irritating, because it's annoying that it's not a well-disclosed practice.

Oh, wait! I know what happened to you because the same thing happened to us at a restaurant. When you first give them your card, they run it for a certain amount (probably in your case a percentage over the whole bill), but the money is not actually charged to your account; it's just "held."...

You can do it! Breathe, breathe ...
