    A silly question... lol.

    So I applied to my first choice university and I got in! However, I really need to take a year off and work before I go, so I'm hoping to defer my acceptance. I got an email from the university saying that I need to send in a written justification. So by "written" do they mean handwritten? Or...

    Prom Pics!

    Here are some pics from my prom last night: My boyfriend and I! (Yes, I know he's tall and I'm short... I'm wearing 4 inch heels in this photo! ) A group shot of my friends and me. (Not an extremely flattering picture of me, but I think they all look fabulous!) My friend Sarah and me...

    I waited too long...

    I'm pretty sure Sadie's gone into heat. The vet told me that I needn't worry about it 'til halfway thru February... but I'm pretty sure it's happening now. She's got an appointment for 29th January, but I think she's definitely got to go in before then! Is there anything I can do to make it...

    Sadie & the Marrow Bones

    (Doesn't that sound like a punk band or something?) Anyhow, here are some pictures of the new kitty, who we have named Sadie. We go around the family circle to pick out names for our animals, and it was dad's pick this time. He called her Satan! LoL. Poor little fluffy kitty, and he names her...

    How much hissing is normal?

    Please see my topic in the lounge re: I got another one! Okay, I really only have one room with a closeable door. The new cat, "Kitty", is in that room. Socks is sitting outside the door to this room hissing and growling. She'll let me pet her, and she'll eat some food, but she won't quit...

    I got another one!

    Okay, I don't know if I can keep her yet, as she most likely belongs to somebody else, but if she doesn't I am taking her in. We call her Kitty for now so we don't get attached to her in case we need to give her up. I just took her to my grandpa's (retired vet) and he said that she's really...

    Is there anyone here from France?

    I was wondering if there was anyone here from France and if they could perhaps help me out. I'm doing a project about 'Provence' in France, and I need any postcards/tourist material/postage stamps/ coins (lesser ones, of course)/ or anything I can find... from/about Provence or France in...

    Going to the vet tomorrow...

    Socks attacked me this morning and shredded my arm up pretty good. This is way out of her normal behaviour. She's bit me before, but it was always just a little nip to get me out of bed or whatnot, but this morning she jumped on my arm and KEPT biting and hissing at me. I really hope she's...

    My guard kitty... lol.

    I was on the floor tonight playing Tug Of War with my dog, Skipper. He gets really into this game and makes a lot of noise. Apparently, Socks was either sick of hearing him grunt, or she was trying to protect me. She jumped right on his back and walloped him one with both of her paws, lol! It...

    I am so dead...

    Well, I knicked some lady's car in a parking lot this morning. My parents are going to kill me. She's calling me back with the estimate tonight. It's a scratch. She thinks it will cost $300, at least. It's a scratch, about 10 cm long and I did more damage to my dad's van than I did to her car...

    Can I have some more board magic (job related again)

    Hi guys, I've seen how well board magic is working lately and I was wondering if you could send a little my way. I'm applying at Wendy's, McDonald's, and Tim Horton's tomorrow (I figure one out of three has to accept me, lol). Not exactly where I picture myself, but hey, everybody's gotta start...

    See you guys in three weeks...

    I know I don't post here a lot, but I'll miss you guys! I'm going up to my cottage, where I have no Internet connection (not to mention no electricity... ) We're leaving tomorrow afternoon, after my driving test. Happy Canada Day to all my Canadian friends, Happy Independence Day to my...

    Cross stitchers?

    I used to visit a website with small free samplers, but I have forgotten both the name and the URL. It had small holiday samplers, and butterflies, birds, simple animals and whatnot. If anyone knows any websites like this could you please pass them along? I'm looking to print some patterns...

    Applying Advantage?

    Every month, on Socks' "Advantage Day" we have a struggle. How can I make this better for the both of us? She kicks, screams and whines for the short amount of time it takes to apply it, and she's usually mad at me for three days after. She hates being held, but if I try and do it while she's...

    What's the best "grocery store" brand?

    I can't keep feeding my outside guys Socks' food and I can't buy anything expensive for the ferals because some of it gets ruined by rain storms and other animals eating it and my parents would flip. So, I know the grocery store brands are mostly filth, but of all of them, which is the least...

    Cracked paw pads?

    (Mods - I'm not sure if this should go here or in Care and Grooming. I'm sorry if it's in the wrong place.) Anyway, I was just watching Socks lying in her chair and I looked at her paws and they appear to be dry and cracking, much like we get dry skin on our hands. Should I take her to the vet...

    Could some of you kind people help me with my resume and letter of application?

    This is my first resume and I'm beyond confused! I saw an ad in the paper for a student general office assistant for the municipality and I'd really like to apply for the job but I'm having a lot of trouble making my resume look and sound professional when all I have is volunteer experience...

    For Little One...

    Today, on my lunch break, I was so happy to come visit you and your sisters and brothers at your house! Born but a few days ago, you were all so sweet and cute. We didn't want to disturb your mum though, so we watched from afar. Little One, we noticed you weren't moving like the other kits. We...
