    What makes you feel old?

    A couple of events recently made me feel so old. Maybe that's not exactly the right word but I feel behind for my age anyway. First, yesterday was my oldest, little-sister's 18th birthday. I was 14 when she was born. Secondly, my best friend is pregnant. And lastly, my cousin (10 years...

    Finally, good luck comes my way. I won tickets off the radio!!

    To see Trans-Siberian Orchestra in concert!! I love them and had wanted to go to their concert but tickets were $45 apiece and I couldn't justify spending that much. I was in shock when I was the "5th caller" to my local radio station. I don't think I've ever won anything off the radio...

    Getting Spot's teeth pulled but I have a question

    The vet said he won't prescribe antibiotics prior to the extraction. Is this usually the case or should I demand it? I know when I've had a abcessed tooth pulled, they wouldn't do it until I had been on them.

    Is the gas crisis everywhere or is it just in my town?

    For two weeks now, gas has been the equivalant of liquid gold. Stations are running out for days at a time. Yesterday, I sat in line for 25 minutes before it was my turn to gas-up. I pumped $9.45 and the gas ran out. That gave me enough to drive elsewhere; elsewhere ended up being 20 miles...

    Should I have his teeth pulled?

    Back in the spring Spot had a bad UTI. During the exam the vet noticed his back teeth were really bad and he does have awful breath. He recommended a cleaning but said he'd probably have to get them removed. I am really worried about putting him under anesthesia because he's nine y.o. I was...

    How do you shop for a mortgage without it looking bad toward your credit?

    Where do I begin to shop for a mortgage? Will applying with different lenders hurt my credit? How do I find someone that offers FHA loans? Any help would be great as I have found a house I am very interested in, within my price range and there is no realtor involved as its for sale by owner...

    R.J. the cat is tugging my heartstrings

    For the third week straight, I walk into Petsmart and go toward the cats for adoption and there sits RJ the tabby cat--still. I feel so bad for him because every time I've seen him in the adoption window, he's been hiding under the fleece mat that he's supposed to be sleeping on. He seems so...

    Anyone have ideas? I work in a kitchen/dining room/retirement center. One of our chefs is really OCD about his spices--he has them lined up and numbered, which correspond to the list of spices on the wall. I turned them all backwards and upside down and wrote on them with a sharpie: "What the...

    Last night I noticed Spot has scratched a small area open behind his whiskers on his upper cheek. Then, upon examination, I felt a small lump on his head above his left eye that is about the size of a pea. He just finished 2 weeks of antibiotics for a UTI. What could it be??????????? I'm so...
