    Little gray cat found me in the local supermarket parking lot (Marysville, OH)

    What a day... After all the craziness that happened the earlier in the day, I was heading back to my car after some late night grocery shopping. I noticed two little eyes under my car and some soft mewling. There were very few other cars around and if it was morning time with all the hustle and...

    Clean freak or something wrong?

    So one of my cats would rather poo in the corner of the room instead of using his litter box. He'll pee in there just fine (I think), but if the box has been used, or just a tad stinky he'll poo on the carpet, pretty consistently on one spot. Currently he has two boxes, or I just have three...

    Anyone else here enjoy Absinthe?

    I had my first taste years ago and now it's become one of the expensive hobbies of mine. Currently half way through a bottle of Jade PF 1901. Nothing quite like it, hard to describe, almost like a sweet powdery liquid.

    Running on fumes.

    So I'm overworked... I work something like 14 hours a day, come home run around like mad to work on the new house and crash for some 4-5 hours before doing it again. Weekends I mentor some high school kids and work on cars. There's also an evening partying once in a while, people having kids...

    Sofa Slip Covers?

    Trying to get a cheap sofa cover to keep the couch from getting shredded by the kitties. Anyone know the best place to get one? It's kind of a weird sofa, it's a 3-seater but only has two long cushions and has a pull out bed. Do I just assume any old sofa cover will fit?

    Seal coated the driveway today

    I was all worried that it was going to be hard and messy but it was actually pretty easy. Granted it didn't come out perfect because it was my first go at it (still have some dry spots and there's a few streaks). But it looks a heck of a lot better now than it used to. The setting up and...

    Gaahh!!! Not again...

    So I was playing with Shami, and I picked him up for the first time in a couple days to give him a raspberry and then he tagged me pretty good near the eye. I forgot to cut his nails recently since I was so busy moving stuff to the new house so he gave me a good gash on my lower eyelid...

    Utility companies and "proof of identification"

    So I closed on my house yesterday and tried to transfer over the utilities under my name today. Water was a piece of cake, all they wanted was my name and new address. Electric I hit a wall with. The answering machine put me through all the prompts and once it said it was transferring me to a...

    Time Warner Rate Hikes

    So I thought under the agreement for Time Warner, they're supposed to notify you before they raise your rates. My rates have gone up twice in the last year and neither time did they notify me. Granted I get a discount through my apartment and I only use their broadband service, but they should...

    Chipped/Broken Canine Teeth

    So I have this one cat that is a very aggressive eater, and he tends to bite/lunge at his bowl while he's eating. A while ago I noticed he chipped the tip of one of his canine teeth, and then this morning I noticed the tip of his other canine tooth is completely missing (~1/8th of an inch is...

    Ack anal glands

    So Shami has this habit of sitting on my lap and once in a while he'll expel the contents of his anal glands on my pants. Not a nice thing especially before bed after a long day on my silk PJ's. Granted it's only once in a while (maybe once a month?), but I thought cats expressed their anal...

    Mango allergies...

    So the last couple day's I've been spazzing out because I have this rash on my face. Started just on my lips and it's spread to my chin, neck, eyes, forehead. Google searches indicated anything from just lip rash, to impetigo, to herpes, to random other strange obscure diseases. Then on a whim...

    Dead tree removal?

    So lets say I have a huge dead rotting tree on the sidewalk of my property near some power lines. Am I responsible for removing the said tree or do I have the city do it for me? or the power company? Most worried about the huge branches that could fall on the power lines, or on someone, or the...

    Frustrated... home buying...

    I don't get it. I thought the housing market was doing terrible, yet house prices are still way too high (house appraisals still going up from 5-10 years ago and people still wanting 10-25% above appraised value and unwilling to negotiate). On top of that, the last two homes I wanted someone is...

    Question for those of you who live out in the country

    So I'm shopping for a home, and I'm torn between staying in the city or moving out into the country. The country homes are by far much cheaper and come with huge lots (I like space). But I'm worried about having stable internet access. I've heard that the two options would be DSL or satellite...

    Would you buy this house?

    There's a tiny house for sale in town but it's in very poor condition (foundation looks like it's cracked, two trees very close to the house probably exacerbating the issue, the windows are broken/boarded up, collapsed shed in the corner, most exterior wood looks bad, inside looks bit rough, old...

    Ugh... wisdom teeth and nerve damage

    So I gets my surgery today to remove my lower wisdom teeth. Things go pretty smoothly and I'm in an out in 30 minutes, no nasty side effects from the anesthesia, barely any pain (actually feels pretty good sometimes, but dull pain other times), no swelling, can move my jaw around just fine, etc...

    Strange/sudden chest pains

    So today I felt like I about died. This morning I started having these stabbing chest pains around the center of my chest right and every time I breathed in it would be unbearable. My arms were also killing my, my shoulders and chest felt like I've been doing millions of pushups/pullups, like...

    Psychotic eating and keeping him off the counter (long post)

    Hey, haven't posted in a while. So I adopted a new kitten so that Shami could have a buddy. They get along well and all, but this guy was about 99% stray when I first brought him in. Took him a while to use the litterbox, likes to knock over the garbage can and rummage through the trash (I...

    I got the most terrific...

    headache... Went to the eye doc this morning and he flashed this insanely bright light into my eyes to look at my retinas etc, and used some sort of drop in my eye. I don't think I've been the same since. Was driving around today too since the weather was so nice, but once I got home I had the...
