    Need advice on a friend issue

    A good friend left work in May. Ever since she left I've sent her voice mails, emails & text msgs, she respond none of them. While the emails & text msgs are mainly jokes or things like 'I saw a hot guy' so I don't expect her to respond; however some VMs I specifically said to call since I...

    Dental cleaning - need some reassurance

    Our 2 yr old cats are scheduled for a cleaning next Wed. Their gums were red w/ some tartar when we adopt them from the shelter. I've been brushing their teeth every 3 days at the very minimum. It didn't improve much & that's when I decide a dental cleaning may be necessary. Doctor...

    Why do people do that?! How would you handle it?

    Hubby & I were out for a walk yesterday. I made eye contact with these 2 guys while window shopping. Next thing I know they both say "AHHHHH' real loud literally next to hubby's ears as they pass us (going opposite direction). I was preoccupied so I simply look at them like 'what was that?'...

    Treadmill/elliptical trainer

    I joined a gym so I can go to the classes they offer as part of the membership. In the past two months I have a crazy work schedule & it's impossible for me to go to these classes. Since they open late I was thinking about using the elliptical trainer or run on the treadmill. My question- 1)...

    Retrain to use litterbox after FLUTD

    One of our cat was diagnosed with FLUTD. He came back last Tue, things are slowly back to normal for us & him. He's been using the disposable litter tray we placed next to the old litter box. I know he's associated pain with the old litterbox. It's only been a week and he probably still feel...

    Birkenstock anyone?

    I got a gift card on my b-day to use toward the shoes. I've narrowed down to milano & arizona. People always tell me how comfortable they are. Problem is, I have flat feet & the shoes need to have arch support. Will either of them provide a good arch support?

    Family & $$$...it's a mess!

    Mom & dad bought a single house 2 yrs ago. The plan was to sell the 2-flat they own & move in once dad retires. Things came up & they had to take care of them. By the time they're ready to sell the house the market is so slow that there are many lookers but not many offers. All the offers...

    Wet food-should I stick to certain meat?

    Besides chicken and turkey, are there any other meat I can use on a daily basis to give our cats a bit of variety? Some forum members said lamb (or duck?) is harder to digest, and to stay from fish. With so many choices of meat within each brand, I'm hesitant to order, say, a case of lamb only...

    Switching to all wet with a fast & slow eater

    Fast eater-Fred Slow eater-Ginger We didn't realize how fast he eats until we start offering canned food. A 3oz can split 50/50, Fred inhaled his portion and would "push" his sister aside, who barely got started & polish her portion as well. For this reason I offer Fred 1/2 of the can and...
