    Kitten sensitive to all drugs??

    Hi all – it’s a long time since I needed kitten help :p I have a super cute almost 14 week old Burmese kitten who got neutered 2 days ago (Monday Australian time). All went well, I got him home that evening and he was still zonked for an hour or so, then he went CRAZY. For about 12 hours (all...

    How long before I need to cook a fresh turkey?

    DH pre-ordered a fresh turkey through his work which we picked up yesterday. These are ones that are "Certified Organic", and have never been frozen etc. We ended up changing our Thanksgiving plans though, so we are doing turkey day on Sunday when everyone could be free. Will a fresh turkey...

    Community Supported Agriculture - do you do it?

    Do you have a CSA that you're part of? Do you buy from your local Farmer's Market? Which do you prefer? I've changed to more farmer's market fruit and veggies since my DD got old enough to eat purees, and now she's eating pretty much everything we eat, I'm even more careful, and have looked...

    Cats and kids

    It always amazes me when people try to tell you should get rid of cats if you're going to have a child. DD absolutely adores Smudge, and Smudge is very good to her, and has never shown the slightest bit of aggression (although we still keep a close eye on them). I was so excited to capture...

    Karma at its finest!

    Our neighbour likes to park in our assigned spot (we live in a townhouse complex). Everyone gets a garage and an outdoor spot, and we mostly park in the garage, and he decides he'll park wherever he wants, so just takes anyone's spot. It drives me nuts and I've had words with him numerous...

    Gross spammers

    For some reason we are being hit with a LOT of spammers/trolls who sign up and instantly post as many threads as possible with pornographic material. The photos are pretty graphic, so apologies to those who see the pictures. We are trying to look at the profiles of each new member, and keep an...

    This is Speck: We're gecko-sitting her for 5 weeks She's pretty cute! She came over on Thursday night, and didn't eat her crickets, so last night I replaced them with a fresh smaller cricket with no spikes or wings, and she seems to have eaten that one. I think she's still a bit stressed...

    Question for the cake bakers

    I'm baking a cake in a bowl, and as expected, it's taking forever, and I imagine the outside is overcooking while the inside is still uncooked. I know for regular pans you can get bake even strips that you wet and put around the pan, but what about for a bowl? Is there something else I can...
