off of my inkjet printer. They held up pretty well. Just make sure you get the ironing right. I normally don't iron at all, so that part was a little tricky for me.

Could it be because your cat thinks that you are a cat... maybe he/she's trying to get your scent from the scent glands that your kitty thinks that should be in your mouth?

by magicians and other people who do it professionally (and are honest about it). I think the pet psychic is on the same level with John Edwards, (albiet probably a little less damaging). And it's a mixture of guessing and psycology. Ever noticed how fast a 'psychic' will talk? "I'm seeing a...

But I actually create junk mail for a living (B2B, so I'm not completely evil...) And yes, mail houses, e-mail and snail mail sell their lists of names and addresses to other business to make extra money. So... best way to avoid junk mail and still have a life is to do business, sign up...

Finn's a tabby too. (Wonder if there's a connection?)

Both the time thing and the hair thing. I have hip-length hair, and Finn grabs it at every opportunity. We get up around 5:30 every AM, so on weekends at 5:30 Finn's up and ready to play. We just kick him out of the bedroom much to his dismay. Never really bothered me, but it is nice to know...

I was about 4 or 5, (around '80). My dad brought home his first computer, and back then you had to totally program the darn thing yourself. So, he hired me at 5¢ an entry to put in all the numbers for accounting info for work. I bargained him up to 10¢ per entry, and he had one heck of a time...

Last year I just got rid of my '97 Neon (Originally bought new). Just before it hit 100,000 miles, everything went to pot! Something called the 'throttle body' went out on me twice in six months. Basicly, when I took my foot off the gas, instead of slowing down, I sped up. Not a good thing...

Finn uses me and hubby as a chew toy on a regular basis, and alot of I think is that he's teething! (Loosing his kitten teeth- I acutally found one.) Lots of drooling and knawing more than biting. We keep several toys around specifically for biting. Bity-Fish, Bity-Towel, Bity-Belt... When he...

for the tips. I will try some of them. Fortunately both hubbby and me have a pretty casual decorating style so the addition of cat hair just adds a little flair to the decor. As for the vacuum... We're waiting for a part ourselves, and it's a toss-up as to who's hair is to blame. Finn or me...

Finn's almost 6 months old now, and I've noticed that he's shedding like crazy. Not shedding to the point of bald spots, but his hair is everywhere! He's not stressed or pulling out his own hair, and I do try to brush him regularly (key word here TRY... he thinks its a game and tries to hunt...

My parents (Dad & Mom) had rules for my brother and I that by some parents' notion of things to be overly strict and oppressive. The theory being that my brother and I would become overly suppressed uncreative drones. However, as kids we got to go places most people wouldn't dare take their...

check out the words "reasonable accomodation" (my company publishes newsletters on employment practices). THAT's the key phrase for both of these laws.

I doubt there is really very little difference between on nationality and another. Strip away color, culture, history and religion and you're still going to have a very fallible (and very human) person, who can be a jerk as quickly as they could be a good samaritan. (By the way, NONE of the...

hypocrisy has plagued every branch of every belief system ever. (And that's not when someone makes a mistake and genuinely repents of it later.) Historically the Catholic church (no offense to anyone who is Catholic) departed from the very book that started it all (more accurately the teachings...
