Does anyone have any good suggestions for putting drops in a cats's eyes. My cat has an eye infection and the vet gave me some eyedrops for him, but he absolutely hates having the drops put in his eyes and puts up a big fight...

Does anyone have experience with chewing gum or patches, which should make it easier to quit smoking? Whether positive or negative experiences?

Wilbet28 Hi. I quit smoking 5 years ago and used the Commit Lozenges for a couple of months and they really helped a lot with the cravings. I had tried to quit in the past and used the nicotine gum. The gum seemed to help somewhat, although I think the lozenges were...

Has anyone tried one of those electronic Ab Muscle Stimulators that they advertise on TV. My grandson has been wanting one of these for his birthday ( he will be 15). Does anyone know if they work or not? They cost around $100...

Wilbet28 Thanks for the info, Marie2052. I still have not made up my mind whether I'll get one for my grandson or not. I read a couple of reviews that said you have to replace the gel pads that stick the electrodes to your skin fairly often. But I will look at some...

I am an avid reader and because of that, I buy new books quite often. I should also add that I read very fast, so I go through books extremely fast. This is why I buy new books at least every other month, and usually I buy even...

Wilbet28 Hi, puccagirl. I enjoy reading a lot too, but I usually buy used books (mostly paperbacks). Luckily there is a good used book store near me and they take trade-ins. I usually trade in a stack of used books that I've read and get several newer ones when I go...

I just saw a commercial for Gorton's Crunchy Breaded Fish Sticks. They were suggesting a new way to make tacos for your family. The commercial said, "[i][u]Make taco night a fiesta with the goodness of Gorton's...

Wilbet28 I agree -- this sounds pretty awful to me too. The Gorton's fish fillets are good though with a side salad and bread. They make a quick, easy meal.

Does anyone have a good recipe for barbeque chicken that doesn't require baking for a long time in the oven. It is so hot here that I'm trying to avoid using the oven if possible. Thanks!

Wilbet28 Thanks for your reply. My mother used to bake chicken covered with barbecue sauce in the oven for 1 to 1 1/2 hours and it was very tender and good. But it is too hot to run the oven for an hour or two so I will probably try the stove-top method.

Wilbet28 I've read several of his earlier books -- The Firm, Pelican Brief and a few others-- and they were very good. Haven't read any of his recent ones though, but I would like to read "The Broker" and "The Partner" and will look for them at the bookstore soon. He...

Wilbet28 The weather here in NC has been awful and will be even worse through the weekend. With temperatures around 99/100 and heat indexes around 105/110, it is too hot to do anything outside. I have been staying inside where it is airconditioned, or running out to...

Wilbet28 Thanks for the information, Hatley. I haven't seen any racoons in the yard, but they are probably around since we are near a wooded area. I have seen groundhogs in the yard though -- they have eaten some of my flowers. I will check for the hornworms, too

Wilbet28 That's a good idea. I haven't tried the wire cages yet, but I think that I will get some. I've also decided to move them to my porch -- they won't get quite as much sun there, but I don't think that the animals will come up on the porch to eat them.

Wilbet28 I always liked that theme song but didn't know who wrote it. My husband & I used to watch the Avengers all the time. I guess there aren't too many of us around who used to watch the show or remember it, LOL.
