This fountain was purchased because it was not plastic and saw it on a site on constipation for cats and was promoted as one that cats would use. However, it is expensive. It is very heavy,...

I had to use a dropper with this since it was kind of hard to put it in my cat's ears. I cleaned my cats ears first, then I put the R-7M cleaner in her ears. Next, I inserted 10 drops into each...

It is the most economical litter I have ever used. I only put a layer of litter in the pan that will cover half the pan. As the cats use it, it turns to sawdust. When its all dust you dump it....

This is probably the single most important toy I ever bought. I got it when my boy was a kitten and two years later, he still plays with it every day.

I don't understand this effort to change who can earn overtime. Can anyone give me the government's rationale for wanting to change the rules? This whole thing confuses me.

Renae, I haven't read up on it, but the only thing I can figure is that it would greatly benefit the companies. More work for less expense. Theoretically, and knowing that the unemployment rate is HUGE, this could allow businesses to employ more people. So the people with jobs suffer, but it would open up positions for others. (????)
Of course, I'm just pulling this out of thin air.
I don't understand it, but that's the kind of logic they have been using so far.

Thanks for posting that, MA! I signed.
If you live in the USA and care about this issue, please contact your representatives and senators about it as well.

Without the cost disincentive of overtime pay, employers can force workers to pull extended shifts and work longer and longer hours, without having the extra payroll expense. This is more likely to cause cuts in jobs - why hire more people (and pay more health insurance, workers comp premiums & unemployment insurance) when you can get more work from the ones you already have without paying overtime?
Also, anyone who is aware of the skyrocketing numbers of people suffering from Cumulative Trauma Disorders (a.k.a. Repetetive Strain Injury) might note that these numbers will only go higher - the likelihood of suffering CTD increases dramatically when the body is not allowed adequate time to recuperate from the daily assault of repetetive motion. How will increasing the numbers of disabled Americans help our economy?
And this policy is coming from an administration that claims to be "pro-family"?????
