Our rent is pretty steep (but good for the neighborhood!) SO's income is three times as much as mine. We were splitting the rent something like 60/40, but that wasn't really working out for me and it meant he had to pay for EVERYTHING else because I was so short on money. Now he's paying all of...

I am in a MS program for education, and this morning I took the Praxis PPST on the computer. It's the test you have to pass to continue on in the education program, and you have to pass a bunch more for licensure. Well, one bad thing-- we had a fire drill in the middle of the test. We knew...

After a bit of hullabaloo and a couple non-starters, Zissou and Simon are fully introduced and together most of the day unless nobody is home (one of us usually is). There have been a few squabbles, but nothing major. Simon walks around whirring and meowing whenever he isn't within sight of...

Once we moved to Philadelphia, we realized we had a ton of space and I had always wanted two cats. We started looking and found this little guy who had been fostered. His spine is fused towards his rear, so he kind of waddles and kicks his leg out when he walks. He can't jump very well, but it...

Until I move! We get to start packing the truck next week (oooh fun!) and then we'll be staying overnight in Harrisburg on our way to Philadelphia. Zissou is pretty excited, though I'm not excited to listen to her MEOWLLLL the whole way there. I don't think we're ready

So, it's about time for packing and whatnot. I've never moved very far, only a couple hours, so this is new to me. We are looking at moving vans to rent (the diy kind) and it seems the best deal is a 14-ft for a little less than 600, with unlimited miles. Is that the best option? It has to be...

A friend of mine's house burned down, and it happened too quickly for them to do anything but run out the door (started in the attic, when they woke up there was ash falling from the ceiling and minutes later the whole house was in flames including the cars blowing up in the garage...). All of...

I need advice from the cumulative experience of all you TCS'ers. The bf and I are moving to Philadelphia Sept 1st, to University City, where the standard policy is to pay 2 month's rent and a security deposit way before you move in (We've already paid NEXT August's rent!). Needless to say...

Friday is my boyfriend's birthday, and I decided since it's so nice out and it'll be warm I am gonna make iced cream sandwiches. I found a recipe on allrecipe for a double chocolate cakey-texture cookie (I'm gonna do butterscotch chips instead of walnuts)...

I'm watching Hell's Kitchen, and I walk into the bedroom to check my Facebook () to find this: She wasn't playing or rolling around. She was just sitting there, like she does that everyday. I cannot keep this rug down on the floor! She does something similar every time I fix it. ETA...

First to make it clear: I don't owe anyone any money. I have one credit card I pay on time every month, and all my other bills are fine too. But this woman (I know her name too) uses my phone number over and over again as her contact number. I remember opening a thread on this last time it got...

We went to the topiary garden here today! Lots of people were there and they all wanted to visit with Zissou. She got lots of love. Exploring the new spring bulbs The topiaries-- this used to be the school for the deaf, but that moved. You might be thinking this looks familiar, it is a...

Not til september 1st, but I'm moving to Philadelphia! Zissou is very excited! Our new place probably has room for her to have a buddy, and in looking out there it is not even a little hard to find places that couldn't care less if you have a cat. They don't even charge you extra (though the...

I saw this: Zissou came to check it out: Don't worry, she quite hates the snow. She jumped out into it once and jumped right back in like "Oh, heck no!" And, we're forecast to have a blizzard starting in about an hour and lasting for several. I'm on the third floor-- that snow is just...

My nephew-cat died in the hospital. He had been very ill with CRF for a while, and his jaw had become infected, and he was very dehydrated. The vet decided to hospitalize him for a few days and see if he would recover or if she recommended him being pts. Unfortunately, he didn't recover at all...

So, I'm gearing up to graduate college (finally) and I'm moving again and I have too much stuff. I want to get rid of a lot of it. Reason for this title is, my grandma is an antiques dealer, and since I was a child she's been starting a collection for me of glass shoes (like the Fenton hobnob...

This doesn't involve Zissou, but what do you feed two cats who can't eat the same food and won't stay out of each others? Both cats are middleagey (5 or 6). Garfield is fat, otherwise healthy aside from some serious emotional problems and has had a bladder infection. Arthur is underweight, has...

Well, I have had asthma for... as long as I can remember, I got my nebulizer when I was 5 or 6 Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone has any advice or stories. I've always taken the standard albuterol, I did do cromolyn sodium for a long time but quit that a few years ago when I started taking...

When I edit a post, instead of the button saying "edit" or "submit" or something, it says "Vote Now!" even in thread with no polls. Just something that made me go Huh? Also, it only happens sometimes.

I got a new one! I sat for a couple hours yesterday, and I'm going back in a couple weeks to get all the color done. I went to a costume party last night and somebody spilled an entire beer all over it, and in my shoe, which was subsequently squishy. I was able to get it all off within 5...
