Anyone ever had this knee injury? What did it feel like? Did you have surgery? Doc said I might have it, but he'll wait until I get back from my trip to do an x-ray and to make sure the pain isn't from just a sprain. This sucks. How am I supposed to enjoy California on crutches and in a...

I am so angry with myself right now. My husband and I were taking my parakeets (budgies) to my in-laws so the load on my mom would be lightened while we are away on a week-long trip to California (for business, but his boss is paying my way if you're remembering when I've complained about not...

I posted in the Rainbow Bridge forum, but I wanted to tell you guys too. I know there are some bird lovers who frequent here. I know hearing about Alex's research made me become a parrot evangelist of sorts... I often would tell people about him to prove my point that birds are smart. Lots...

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20723212/ I've kept up with the research they've done on this amazing bird over the years. It really saddens me to hear he has died. He was truly a parrot prodigy.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20297921/ Interesting. Apparently, a common flame retardant is toxic to the feline thyroid gland. At least some companies are pledging to quit using it.

Wow... look at those kitties jump and cry! I can't believe how clean her place is for having that many cats. I wonder what her story is and why that isn't considered a health code violation in Russia... http://englishrussia.com/?p=1199

It's a really long story... I'll give more details if anyone asks. We've already had major trouble coming up with enough money for school. Our credit is too bad for loans, so is my mom's, and my mother and father-in-law won't cosign for a loan or help us out in any way (they could, they just...

I'm not a vegetarian. I try to be a pescatarian. Yes, it's real... it basically means that I avoid all meat except seafood. I don't have a problem with dairy, but I try to buy my dairy products from farms that treat their animals humanely. I figure at least reducing my consumption of meat...

The last time I had a cell phone was in 2001. My mom and I got a plan a couple years into college. I kept losing the phone, and at that time it wasn't something everyone had, so I just didn't renew the contract. We finally are comfortable enough to be able to afford to add a line to our...

A recent jewelry-themed thread reminded me I'm on a site with a ton of girls, so I can talk about JEWELRY!! What is your favorite stone? Do you prefer cut gemstones or more organic polished stones? I recently dropped off one of my loose stones to be set in a pendant. It's a rutilated...

They are nearing their one year birthday (the 21st), and I got to see two of Sneakers' kittens at my in-laws' today. They are named Tux and Harley. I snapped a few pics to share... I know it's been a while since I've posted any pics! I guess I should post some of my own cats sometime, too...

Apparently, this show has been around a while in the UK. It's all about animals. It's a claymation comedy. I love claymation! Anyway, it's on at 8 pm ET (I think) on CBS tonight. I'm hoping it's good... it looks cute!

I usually don't post silly stories, but I was so convinced my cats were going to have it in for me that I have to share. My husband left for a business trip yesterday afternoon (he's been traveling way too much lately, but that's another thread.... ), and I got sick and was stuck over the...

I know I have heard of this happening before. Has anyone ever had it happen to them? Is it common for a clinic to just "not find" the other testicle during a budget neuter when it hasn't descended? If so, can an undescended testicle still produce sperm?

This thread was started as a continuation of Abymummy's thread. I thought this would be easier, and I'm curious to see what our stats are. Only count cats that live with you and of which you are the primary caretaker. I have 8. Two are my mom's, but we live with her to take care of her and...

My husband is going on a business trip to Vegas, and since I'm going to help out, I get to go too. We leave on Sunday and come back Wednesday night. I know I want to see the Bodies exhibit... any other ideas? I'd love to see a cabaret or burlesque show that isn't too raunchy (more artsy)...

The kitties all came into the den/office/birdroom today because I opened the windows. I got some halfway decent shots of their eyes for once! They aren't the greatest, but better than I usually get in this dark house! Tobie Sofia Sneakers Godiva (I think this is why she's not show...

Well, I know I started a thread a month or so ago about finding a new home for my budgies. That ended up not working out, but someone else is coming over today to look at them. I hope they back out! Don't tell my husband. He gets super annoyed with their chattering and he wants to find...

Well, Tobie did well overall today. It was a mixed bag. In the first ring (it was the specialty judge), he didn't even final. Since it was long hair specialty, there were only 5 that finaled anyway. I don't know what was up with that. He finaled and got 6th best in two rings, and then he...
