Over here (Germany)they said the weather would be nice all week long - no way! Instead of sweating our butts off, we're snuggling into blankets cause winter has come a bit early...never made it above 13 centigrades today*shiver*

Well, i haven't tried French Bread yet, but I've made a variety of super-fast breads based on one simple recipe, just changing flours, ingredients (my fave are walnuts -YUMMY!!!!) adding or omitting spices...as long as the basic dough is still there, it won't go wrong. Mostly I make them with...

Since we got married last year and dh was officially declared 30% handicapped (troubles with his back), we'll get a good deal of refund this time, we calculated it with a tax program and it'll go towards paying new windows in our house - they date back to early 60's and it's horrible how much of...

Maxi is the chief bully in our house! When Carter was still alive, she'd jump on his neck, trying to ride him somehow and then kept slapping his face - poor boy! In the last weeks of his life, he started hitting back, but that didn't make Maxi a good girl, no way! Now that he's gone, her new...

Lol, i have vocal cats, too:-) Laura is a real chatterbox, she can't keep her little mouth shut! sometimes I think she's answering me...like when I'm in the house and ask her if she wants to go "out?", she squeaks and to me it's like a "Yes, please!" At the moment also Maxi is extremely vocal...

Gosh, it's been a week since he has died and I still try not to think of him so I won't cry all day long. He was such a cute and lovely cat, but i guess way older than we thought. The last few days he didn't eat or drink anymore, no litterbox, either...and whenever I went to the vet, all she...

Oh yes, that sounds familiar to me... Laura has been known to steal anything that she can move - and she's a STROOONG girl! - and we must pay attention every time anything edible is on the table or they'll eat it! Since she and Carter both love milk soo much, coffee, (black) tea or chocolate of...

I met my honey online in September 04, just a week before I was due to move out of dorm and change uni...when he met my parents the day of the move, they loved him right away (my dad had been fearing forever to lose his little girl, but he wanted to be on first name terms with him straight away...

25 days and counting!!! Oh man, I'm soooo excited!!!! We went to choose our wedding rings on Friday, got the final regulations and bills paid on Thursday and yesterday I could finally reserve a table for 11 in our restaurant, yay! The administration building where we will be married looks soooo...

Hey, congratulations!!!! I'm not a smoker myself (can't stand the smell), but my fiancÃ169 used to smoke for some 20 years and couldn't say why or even that he liked it...then last year when a cousin of his (who kept chain smoking even as she was dying from cancer!! )died miserably and spent...

Oh dear, that's scary! You have definitely been very, very lucky I don't think I'd have got my cats in the carrier that easily, Carter usually freaks out every time he sees it... Sending a big your way

Yay, we're back from the vet!! Turns out he has earmites *and* a fungal infection, the poor boy Got pink pills for him to swallow, ointment for his itchy shoulder and - worst of all - drops for his ears...he HATES that!!!!! This morning we had a real fight, with me holding him tightly, him...

First of all, thank you everyone for your support The vet was off for the weekend already , so i need to call her first thing tomorrow and since me and my fiancÃ169 are spending all day tied in lots of red tape, he won't see the vet before Tuesday Last night I dabbed his freshly scratched neck...

Yay! I'm so excited! Only 5 more weeks to go and things are coming together very nicely! Tomorrow we're going to get my fiancÃ169s documents, like birth certificate, residence certificate and we'll dash over to where we will get married to hand them in. His sister asked a few days ago what my...

Hi everyone, maybe some of you know what is wrong with my baby... Carter started scratching his ears until they were all bloody a few weeks ago, the vet found they were inflamed and gave him antibiotics which worked fine. So far so good. But on Friday he began scratching and hacking little bits...
