    Chicago Bound!

    I know I don't post often and don't share much... but we are moving from Phoenix, AZ to Chicago, IL in May for graduate school! I'm wicked excited and NERVOUS! Have I said how excited I am?! Anyway, there are still some kinks in figuring out how to get it all organized. Like where we will stay...

    Guess it's time to get another car

    A few of my friends have the more recent Honda Civic's and complain about their battery. I'd trust Consumer Reports, honestly (as long as they give good reason). If you're a member of AAA or Costco, speak with them as well.

    Where do you get a Companion Animal form for a doctor to fill out?

    I know what you mean but the above poster is right. We've used similar forms before but the Doctor just had a template on his computer he filled out with our name/info and gave it to us to use.

    This is not a "question of the day," or any such thing. However...

    A home. Without a doubt. Paid off (obviously) in an urban environment where I can take the train/subway still. I hate spending money on things you can't "see" like gas, insurance.

    Best Travel Carrier for Cats

    She could swipe at strangers through the holes of the front gate (but we will use a small hand towel cloth pinned to cover it while we are in transit to a room out of the car... so that isn't so much a concern. I've attached a picture of our carriers to get a general idea (taken from the closet...

    Best Travel Carrier for Cats

    So, I got into graduate school. I will either be moving to Chicago, Seattle or Buffalo, NY from Phoenix, AZ. We have two cats (Lola is about 6 pounds and Maddie is about 9) that will obviously be coming with us. Right now, we have two hard carriers for the trip, but I'm not feeling too...

    Tassimo......is it worth it?

    To me, it sounds like you're already sold on the Tassimo. Just dive in, get it. Personally, it's not financially viable for my needs but if it works for you--do it.

    Tassimo......is it worth it?

    Personally, I like Tassimo but Keurig is far more popular and wide spread. If you are in the US, you can get 80-100 K-Cups for $30-$40 at a Costco. At various points in the year, you can even get them for $23 (for 80). Because of this, I vote for a Keurig. In my region, Tassimo is still a pretty...

    Mac vs PC

    Whoa. This thread is insane to read. Everyone has their own experiences which justify what they buy. These experiences range from keyboard preferences to cost to what you use at work and school. That being said, I own a Mac. I have had it for almost 2 years. Going incredibly strong. I have 3...

    OMG! Bed bugs! Again!

    We had them. Goodness, it was emotionally draining. I got them because I work in homeless outreach and well, that should explain it. We tried sprays, sticky tape, covers... everything. The only thing that has completely cured us was a $1,200 heat treatment followed by a canine dog 3 weeks later...
