Hey all, I haven't been around in a while, had a baby boy in September and he's been very time consuming :) Anyway, my mom went for her oncologist appt about 3 weeks ago and is now 5 years breast cancer free!  We are planning a big party for her, but are trying to think of fun/unique...

The doctor has put me on bed rest and I'm going crazy. I am 36 weeks 3 days pregnant today. My blood pressue spikes when I am not laying down (specifically on my side). I go back to the doctor on Tuesday to have an ultrasound and to determine where we go from here. Though, the plan is...

My mom will be 5 years breast cancer free in August, and I really want to throw a small party to celebrate this milestone. It is going to be at my home, probably 20-25 people or so. I'm looking for ideas that go beyond the typical pink ribbon idea. Any thoughts or ideas? I am going to make...

I am officially a wildlife rehabilitator for the state of Ohio, reptiles only. I have been working with turtles for quite some time and in the past few years gotten involved with Eastern Box Turtles. I recently made a connection with a local reptile rescue, and they have added me to their...

A friend found Jack when he was appx 8 wks old-he'd obviously been on his own awhile. My husband and I have never owned cats before and at the time lived in an aprtment and we never had visitors. Jack was never around another cat and we raised him as a human. We spoke to him as a child and...

For about the last 3 weeks I've been hearing a cat cry outside at night. Yesterday my husband saw a stray in the neighbors yard. Last night all night we heard crying, moaning and out and out fighting between cats. This really had my cats upset and they were sitting in the windows growling. I...

It's been almost two weeks, well two weeks tomorrow, since I lost my sweet girl to the ways of the world. I feel confident posting now because I have gotten past the guilt and regret and realize that the 18 months she was part of my life, she lived well and she lived the way she wanted to live...

First and foremost this is not an outside/inside cat debate. So please don't even start that. I have an outside cat who stays in the garage when its cold and rainy. Because we had been manually allowing her access, opening the door or leaving it cracked we were going broke on utilities. I...

I am handraising 5 kittens. I have a spayed female cat who would help me clean them-but I I dnt know if she could get sick from them? She doesn't need to help them potty they do that on their own. Thanks

I am leaving in 10 minutes to pick up 5 abandoned kittens born from a stray. Not sure of the age or how long its been since the ate, honestly not sure if they are all still alive, they have been outside all day in Ohio heat. I have bottles and formula, but cannot bottle feed 5 babies around...

I am struggling to find out how to turn off the microsoft client on my laptop so I can run my wireless through intel proset wireless. I know when intel is on you can just go to tools to enable microsoft client, but not sure how to do the opposite. Can anyone walk me through it? Thanks Leslie

It's been awhile since I've posted pictures, and I missed sharing Ginger's Gotcha Day and Pepper and the rest of the kittens birthday. I made a little slideshow of Ginger's first day and the birth of her babies, their lives until they left me, and Peppers life since then. I have many more...

So I got a Russian Tortoise over the weekend. I currently keep 4 box turtles, 3 females and a male. The man who was selling the tortoise thought it was a female, so I had a name all picked out. However, upon pickup, I soon found out that I had a male. So here he is: I need some help naming...

On January 19 my husbands aunt was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. By February 1st she had had a double mastectomy and is cancer free, but will be doing chemo. On February 25th his uncle (the husband) was diagnosed with a very rare aggressive cancer, affecting his liver. Tomorrow they...

So yet again I'm struggling with raw feeding the boys. In the house we bought I literally have 4 sq ft of counter space when there aren't dishes drying on it, and I put the coffee pot away. So I've had to put raw on hold until the remodel is done. I hate it and I cringed today when I saw...

When we bought our new house, we also took with it the 1950's stove that was in the kitchen--not because we wanted it, but because we figured someone would, and we could sell it. However, we have no idea of what it is worth. It is a Crosley 1950's electric range with double ovens. It is in...

I have an outdoor cat Ginger who is refusing to use her outdoor shelter she just lays on the rug in front our front door. How do I convince her to use it and stay warm? Thanks Leslie

So we just bought a house 2 months ago and our first time homebuyers check came in the mail. Our intention from the beginning was to use it for a kitchen remodel. I have some big decisions to make by Dec 9 as my husband works at Lowes and his employee discount is 20% instead of 10% until then...

First let me preface with this: Yes, I have an outdoor cat. Yes, I am aware of dangers of having an outdoor cat. Yes, I am aware of the dangers of the behavior she is currently exhibiting. But please understand (and some are aware of Ginger's situation) the life I am providing was her best...

Two years ago today Jack came into our lives and they have been forever changed. He was just 10 weeks old, flea covered, had a nasty ear infection and a bad herpes eye. He's now healthy and just your average "orange" cat. He's rotten as can be and always the center of disaster! But sweet as...
