On TV recently they've been talking about the different ways COVID might have originated. One of the ways mentioned is that COVID might have been passed from racoon dogs in China to people. Then they showed a picture of an animal that looks like a regular racoon. So do these animals actually...
For the past 2 or 3 weeks I've had a problem with black wasps getting inside my house. This morning I killed wasp number 7. :shocked: I have no idea how these wasps are getting in, but they always seem to be behind the blinds in my kitchen window. Once they come out in the open where I can...
My cat Sweetie passed away Saturday 10/5/19 as a result of a condition he was predisposed to. Before I adopted Sweetie he had developed crystals a couple of times and was put on a diet of Royal Canaan SO which helped. I continued this diet with excellent results. On Friday he was his normal...
I was at home yesterday when my landline phone rang. When I answered I heard a robot voice identifying itself as Microsoft and telling me that my IP address was being discontinued because it had been compromised by different countries. :rolleyes3: I was then told to press 1 to be connected...
I recently purchased a container of potato salad at the supermarket and the expiration date is August 30. How long after this date is it safe to eat this product? Also, in general, how long can food safely be eaten after the packaging lists a certain date???
The accident happened Thursday June 8 in Western NE. My son's job was doing repair work for a fast food franchise. He was returning home to Colorado from Nebraska on the interstate when the accident happened. Another vehicle crossed the median and hit my son head on. According to police, my...
I agreed with what a member said on the Upcoming presidential election thread and quoted them, but for some reason I got extra quotes. If you look on page 20 of the thread I mentioned you will see the problem.
In October of last year I fell at work broke my wrist, got bruised ribs and a bruised chin. My broken wrist was officially diagnosed as a dorsally angulated displaced extra-articular right distal radius fracture. I was told surgery is the usual treatment for this injury but I chose not to do...
Sweetie has a largish bare patch on his stomach just a little way up from his back legs. I haven't noticed that he has been over-grooming recently, and I have no idea what else could have caused this bare patch. In all Sweetie's previous vet appointments the vet said his health was excellent...

The temperatures are really weird here in the upper midwest this year. The weather keeps going up and down and is usually cooler than normal, because we keep getting these strong cold fronts coming from the north. ...
I posted several of my cat Sweetie here http://www.thecatsite.com/t/270017/first-pictures-of-sweetie#post_3464495 At the time I adopted him from a shelter one person said he was a Burmese cross and another person said he wasn't. So I was wondering what the breeders here think he is.
Sweetie has had a small amount of tarter on his teeth for the last year or so and will be going to the vet in a couple of weeks. The vet has been talking about putting him under anesthesia and scraping it off. Since the amount is so small, I'm wondering if it will have an effect on his health...
I'm looking for a way to supplement my income.
I know this seems to be the common tread nowadays but I'm sick of feeling taken advantage of at work and so is everyone else who works there. The employer has been cutting hours, reducing benefits, and trying to manage with as few staff as...
I was just wondering if anyone knows what kind of weather they are predicting here in the U.S. this winter. It's only November and we're already starting to have those Artic cold fronts and it seems way to early in the season for that type of weather. So it's scary...I don't want winter coming...
She had been frail and weak for the last several years and had several hospitalizations and nursing home admissions for physical therapy.
This last weekend she fell at home and my dad called an ambulance. Mom was hospitalized again and it was determined that her blood count was low. I talked...
Right now I think it's something like $400 million. So I'm going to buy a couple of tickets, and I already have everything planned just in case I actually win.
First of all, I'll try to keep the news to myself and try to avoid being seen on TV and announced as the winner of all that money. ...
