I've had two surgeries now for tears in the meniscus... I messed my knee up pretty well back in high school. I'd planted my leg and then turned wrong playing soccer... ended up with a torn ACL and multiple tears in the meniscus. They removed some of it, and attempted to repair one of the...

I don't have a story, but the McDonald's case wasn't a spurious lawsuit. Yes, the lady shouldn't have placed the coffee between her legs, but the damages were mitigated because of that. The woman suffered severe burns - third degree - and was in the hospital for a week. She initially just...

I'll take that challenge! Atwood Cafe - http://www.atwoodcafe.com/index.html Petterino's - http://www.leye.com/restaurants/rest_home.jsp?id=33 Trattoria No. 10 - http://www.trattoriaten.com/ Osteria Via Stato - http://www.leye.com/restaurants/rest_home.jsp?id=36 312 Chicago -...

Yes, they are all pricey, nice places. Sadly, generally downtown + nice = expensive!! If Cheesecake Factory is pricey, then these are VERY pricey. Wasn't sure what you meant when you said you wanted to go somewhere nice to eat. Cuisine - Atwood is American, and the others are mostly...

Oh, have fun! I LOVED Wicked when we went to see it. A few good restaurants near the Oriental Theatre: Atwood Cafe Petterino's Trattoria No. 10 (This is where my husband and I went before we went to Wicked - great Italian food!) Osteria Via Stato 312 Chicago Where will you be staying? What...

No pet policies are awful... and even when they do allow pets, they gouge you! We had to pay: $300 fee $300 security deposit and $20 per month add. rent in order to be able to adopt Orion. It was insane... but I was just so happy to be allowed to get a cat at all! He's worth every $.

Yes, I'm allergic to my kitty as well. I get the watery, itchy eyes and the sneezing if I'm not careful. I haven't broken out it hives yet (knock on wood) but I've only had him for a week. I just vacuum a lot and make sure to wash my hands as soon as possible after petting him, especially...

Yes! We got him from the Anti-Cruelty Society and they gave us the standard bag of Science Diet. I think they said they are sponsored by Science Diet. From my reading here in the forums, it looks like Nutro Indoor is going to be a decent dry option that I can actually get and that still...

Borders or Barnes and Noble. My husband and I both LOVE books and oh, the library we could create with $5,000....

When we got Orion at the shelter on Saturday, the vet there told us he was overweight. Her explanation was that they feed the cats there far, far more than the normal amounts cats should get because they are in such a stressful environment and all the shelter cares about is whether they eat at...

Update! We've decided to name him Orion. He may earn some nickname as time goes on, but this will be his "official" name. Thanks for the welcome!

Ok, great! Good to know it's just cute and not a sign of trouble. Now I just have to get him a placemat!

His name at the shelter was Smokey. But he doesn't look like a Smokey to us, plus one of my cats growing up (who still lives with my parents) is named Smokey. Leading contenders right now are Orion and Domino.

Our new cat has a strange way of eating that I haven't seen a cat do before. He takes his paw, scoops some of his dry food out of the bowl onto the floor, and only then will he eat it. He's dragging his bowl all over the place getting the food out. Why would he be doing this? I'm not sure...

Thank you! I did just what you said - here's the link to the thread in the Fur Picture forum: http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=136602 I hope I did the right size on the IMG. But isn't he adorable?
