    Peanut is going bonkers!

    Begging for food has always been an issue with Peanut-- we can't free-feed him because he will literally gorge himself until he's a furry basketball with feet. We have a strict feeding schedule that we stick to- 7A, noon, 7P. The problem is that he's started begging up a storm in between feeding...

    Spam phone calls... GRR!

    I am about ready to throw my phone out the window, I swear! They start at 8AM (and I'm one of the lucky ones- some people start around 3 or 4), and continue all day long. Always different numbers. I'm kind of leery of using call-blocking apps- I have an Android phone running Froyo- unless...

    I have never been so happy to say...

    ... I QUIT. Yes, I quit the job that has been causing me no end of stress and anguish. I was in tears all the time at the end of the day and it just wasn't worth one more second of it! I am DONE and I am not going back there ever, not even if they offer me $20/hr or more! Peanut will be...

    Paypal dispute

    Ohh man, I am fuming right now I sold my old Samsung Captivate on eBay because I switched to T-Mobile and don't need it anymore. It was marked as-is and no returns accepted because of the external damage (which I documented and clearly marked, I happened to fall while holding it and chipped...

    Arrrgh!!

    I am trying so hard not to be mad at Peanut right now... I came home from work and discovered that he tore (literally tore) my Sailor Saturn wall scroll down. He's never done anything remotely like that- I've got wall scrolls all over my office and in the hallway- but today he tore that one...

    Why do cats love boxes?

    This question has been in the back of my mind... well, pretty much ever since we got Peanut. He loves boxes, just LOVES them. Being in them, being on top of them, it doesn't matter- he just adores them. He's currently sleeping on a box of books that I'd like to get put away someday- but I can't...

    An update on the kitty visitors

    Well, I have three cats that are not mine in my laundry room! They're confined in there and seem to be doing very well. They really are lovely cats, and one of them came right out for pettins- the other two are hiding. Peanut isn't really bothered by this, but Sylvie (our Aussie Shepherd) knows...

    The curse of pale skin!

    So, I was in the convertible today for about 4 hours this morning and the sun chewed straight through my SPF55 sunscreen. I am one unhappy camper... does anyone have ANY suggestions on how to make this heal up faster? It's brutal! I've already got aloe with lidocane in it... anything else I can do?

    Hitting the Gym- Your Daily Workout

    I know we had a thread like this before to keep each other motivated, but it was super long and hasn't been looked at in a long time- so I figured I'd start a new one! HEY GUYS! At the risk of sounding like a walking advertisement, I just started a gym membership with one of those itty bitty...

    I found...

    ... my old iPod Nano videos that I took awhile back! The first one is of Dora, and the second one is Peanut and his catnip mouse. Enjoy!!

    Hey Lady GaGa fans-

    - or even if you're not a fan and just sort of like some of what you hear, like me- Amazon is selling the mp3 version of her new CD for a dollar. The whole thing! Just for today. If you want it, go get it!

    So many questions!

    All right, here's the story. Peanut gets absolutely frantic about food- if he even THINKS we're going to forget to feed him he becomes a leg twining, yowling, darting to cut you off before his food dish little maniac. He has very nearly caused me to fall down the stairs a couple times because...

    Need advice- temporary kitties in house!

    Hey all, I need some of your wonderful knowledge. We're having some friends move up from another state this coming weekend, and they're bringing their two cats- who will be here at least for one night. How can I make this as easy as possible on Peanut, who's never had a house guest? I do not...

    Wow, it really is a full moon...

    Both my pets are going absolutely bonkers! Sylvie has been chasing her tail and everything else that moves, and Peanut is wandering the house yowling at the top of his lungs, not to mention getting into everything he shouldn't! Anyone else having a wild night tonight?

    Peanut: My World

    Peanut has been DYING to tell his story... Hi! I'm Peanut. I like to lay in the sun and sleep all day. My Mom just got back from Japan. I didn't like it when she was gone so I've been staying really close to her- just in case! I love my Mom. When I was really sick, she was always there...

    Have you ever had...

    ... a haircut so horrible you just want to put a bag over your head? At least my hair grows pretty fast, but goodness gracious, I don't want to leave my house... Maybe I can put Peanut on my head and somehow devise a way to wear him as a hat!

    Will this ever stop? @.@

    I have been suffering from some major jet lag since I got back from Japan... wiped out by 11pm, wide awake at 4AM, wiped out by noon, dragging self out of bed around 2 because I don't want to sleep TOO long... rinse and repeat. At least Peanut has been my constant companion- when I sleep, he...

    Dora

    Peanut's mother, Dora, left this world curled up in a patch of sunshine in the shed. She was very peaceful and we had no indication at all she had come to the end of her days with us- she just fell asleep and didn't wake. She was a barn cat on my parents' farm and passed away not too long ago...

    Wacom Intuos tablet question

    Hi all! I have an old Wacom Intuos 1 9x12 tablet that I adore and have adored for years... unfortunately, the computer I had it hooked up to that has a serial port decided to go pfft and that was that. I'm now pondering my options... a new tablet is out of the question because they're WAY too...

    Clicking sounds?

    Whenever Peanut is into something he shouldn't be, I hiss at him or say "Hey!" very sharply- and he will make kind of a clicking/rattling noise as he moves away from whatever he's after. Is he talking back? I'm rather amused by that, though honestly, if even the CAT talks back...
