Cat, Signs You Are a Good Cat Owner, and What I Added

celticeagle @celticeagle (185057) • Boise, Idaho 4 Feb

I love cats. I enjoy their addition to my home existence. I think that they are such opposites from dogs in that dogs seem so dependent on their owners where a cat could take us or leave us. If we aren't feeding them (we do) then...

More dishwasher drama

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (126218) • United States 17h

I am so over this piece of crap. In the fall I was without it for 2 months while maintenance "waited on a part". Well it started acting up again a couple of weeks ago. Sometimes it doesn't drain. Sometimes it...

MARILYN Their reasoning is ridiculous and it should work even if you put pots, utensils, etc in it. Guess they don't want to have to replace it or pay to repair it. Having to wash dishes is a pain.

The cost of trying to be frugal can be crazy.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (54358) 16h

I have been doing online ''shopping'' to try to find a car insurance that is less than what I am paying. I spent 2 afternoons on this quest, as insurance costs just keep going up. I have no points, etc. on my record, no tickets,...

MARILYN I can certainly feel your frustration. I just got my new bill for my house insurance and it went up by a few hundred bucks. There doesn't seem to be anything "frugal" these days. Nothing is going down in price, everything is going up except our monthly...

MARILYN Not seeing the sun for 15 days certainly sounds depressing. We are in the deep freeze but yesterday and today we have sunshine, Even though I'm not going out I feel less depressed with the sun shining. Hope you and Yvonne will be able to venture out soon

Savannah Guthrie

Amber @AmbiePam (112065) • United States 20h

I haven’t seen anyone really talk about it here. Maybe because it is such a dark story. For those who don’t pay attention to American news, Savannah Guthrie is the anchor of The Today Show, a hugely popular national morning show....

MARILYN This really is a heart wrenching story and my big question is "why" her? Seems suspect to me and I wouldn't be surprised if it was a family member or someone close to the family.

Last Picture You Took

Amber @AmbiePam (112065) • United States 3 Feb

Pharmacies

Amber @AmbiePam (112065) • United States 3 Feb
