    Gravy lickers

    Oh my goodness JenWales - I am laughing here because I could have written this post word for word! I finally gave up with my baby and "feed" her (actually, "hydrate" her) with the Fancy Feast Gravy Lovers (they are new, have you seen them?). She pretty much will lap up all FF as long as it is...

    Tell me about Jehovah's Witnesses

    There's doctrine and there are people of a particular faith. Easy to mix those two up sometimes. Anyway, of the JWs I've known personally: their religion is mostly about the world ending. That's pretty much what their faith is about. Whether it is ending or not (although they gave dates in the...

    Sick and tired of people thinking that pets are disposable

    That's a good point. I had a cat I left behind when I moved cross country. I guess she was technically mine - my roommate and i went to the pound and got two cats one day. The male bonded with him closely and the female with me. The two cats were inseparable and he loved them both (just as I...

    Accidental Drive Off

    everything is pre -pay around here. I havent pumped first in years and years. The pump doesnt go on until you've paid. i did drive off with the hose still in my tank. That was an expensive mistake ($160). I didnt appreciate everyone laughing and pointing when I did it. That seems really rude.

    Restless leg syndrome?

    wow! Confusing. I have "leg movement disorder", the one while sleeping. I believe that is the "offical" name for it. I have apnea too and wear a cpap which lessens it (w/o meds) believe it or not. The med is needed too though and in theory I am to take it every night but the side effects from...

    Restless leg syndrome?

    what is PLMS? I have RLS - have had it since at least age 10. It is getting worse as I age and got worse when I quit smoking. Surprised? nope - smoking increases dopamine and I do believe RLS has to do with dopamine in some way. I take a parkinson drug - mirapex. It was prescribed off label...

    No Heat!!!!

    Ive been out of heat since Friday. Each morning is colder than the night before. Was 55 this a.m. The only plus? Smidge wants to snuggle much closer and more often My landlord is on it, it just isn't improving. They know they have to pay for a hotel and/or buy space heaters. It has been extra...

    Tipping is a Privilege, Not a right. (rant)

    If the server is actually acting as a waitress in some capacity - whether or not they bring your food but do the beverages, take your payment etc., then yes, they get a tip. I would bet dollars to donuts she is getting the usual waitress wage of $2.35/hr. Feel free to tip less for less work...

    Good name for a longhaired calico?

    I had a long haired calico named Tess - she lived to age 22. She was a sweet girl and sure loved us. So I like the name : How about Callie? So original, I know. I met a calico recently with a great name: Picassa. (feminine of Picasso. Looked like a paint set, get it? ) I like names that come...

    Armarkat Cat Trees

    I have this one: http://www.armarkat.com/classic-cat-...1/prod_12.html Four years later and it in good shape. The only thing worn is one of the "legs" of rope. It is *the* leg Smidge goes for so the rope is pretty much gone. I just rearranged the legs so she had a fresher one. I found the...

    Inconsiderate People! Rant

    In any place I've lived, the unspoken rule has been - if you do not empty your clothes from the washer/dryer on time and another arrives to use it, your clothes will be removed and put into a crinkly ball in the laundry room. I think it is polite to wait 5 minutes...but I'm ruthless after...

    Rita Mae Brown

    very cool. I like her as an author. In the early 90s I read her book about writing, called Starting from Scratch I think. I like her writing voice and her a lot from that. I really like her Sneaky Pie series. You can tell from her work how much of an animal lover she is.
