    Anyone have an Aero Garden?

    Hubby and I are looking at getting an Aero Garden. We both have four black thumbs between us and can't keep a plant alive to save our own lives. But, we do a bit of cooking and like to have fresh herbs - but it's too expensive to buy fresh at the store and would rather grow our own. We live in...

    This cleaning business is hard work!!!

    Your teddy bear there is just too cute for words. My Punkin has been known to do that, only it's typically on the futon with one paw on the remote and the other between his hind legs - Al Bundy (Married with children) style! I wish I could get a picture of it to post but he can sense the...

    Crazy Cat Lady (long)

    last night was a bit better - at least Sneak didn't pound on the door. however, Punkin would NOT stop yeowling! I couldn't put in earplugs because I was going to get up earlier than my hubby and I didn't want the alarm to disturb him. Turns out I didn't need to set the alarm. I was up at 3...

    Bayley, the food sneaker

    My Sneakers will do about the same. Only he has me so well trained that he doesn't have to wait for me to turn my back. Instead I'll give him a lil nibble. Punkin will hop up and sniff but then promptly dropping his tail on my food.

    SmartPhones - preferences??

    So I broke down and got a BlackBerry 7130e. I did quite a bit of research and selected this one. Actually I'm writing this message on the BB! Is it faster? No. But does it suit my purposes? Heck yeah!!! The Internet is kinda weird, and it is a bit slow. But oh well.

    Thanks again, everyone for all your help. Unfortunately, Cooper has crossed the rainbow bridge. he wasn't even my furbaby and yet i can't type this without crying. mom took him to the vet today and the vet said that he has something wrong with his liver - mom couldn't tell me if it was fatty...

    SmartPhones - preferences??

    Hey all. I'm in the market for a new-fangled smartphone - you know, the super phone that has e-mail, internet, camera, and all that jazz. i won't be getting the iPhone - so don't bother suggesting it. $500 - $600 is just too much to spend (i couldn't convince the hubby to spend that kind of...

    4 yo Ragamuffin not eating, drinking

    thanks everyone. i've passed all of your advice on to my folks (they're not much into message boards themselves). mom said that she's got an appointment tomorrow with a different vet. she doesn't think that a lodged hairball is an issue. coop has never been prone to them and he gets combed all...

    Homemade Cat Toys!

    Sneakers loves the funnies from the newspaper. I don't even have to ball it up or anything - just lay the funnies flat on the floor. he'll run around, pounce it, pull up one of the corners with his paws, gnaw on it, then run away - only to run back a few moments later to start all over again. a...

    Extremly snuggly kitties

    Punkin is my snuggler. He can actually be a bit of pest about it - especially when I'm sitting on the futon working on my laptop -- no, punkin, laptop does not mean kitty . I haven't had him for very long - just a few months - so we haven't gotten to the rub-my-tummy-meowmy phase. Sneakers...
