cathyt1557 I know cats are not stupid. I have two and they are both very smart, but I keep them indoors. It is a fact that indoor cats live longer. I want my cats to live a long and good life and they have. I don't want them to be hit by a car or pick up a disease or get...

Favre traded...will Rogers succeed in Green Bay?

kbjunior15 @kbjunior15 (1309) • United States 6 Aug 08

Tough question to answer. No one knows what he can do yet. Favre put him in a bad situation, though. Now every bad thing he does will have Packer fans complaining that they should have kept Favre...especially if Favre succeeds...

cathyt1557 Rogers had big shoes to fill even before the Favre fiasco. I hope he does succeed. He was definitely put in a tough situation by both Favre and the Packers. I think both sides handled the situation poorly with Rogers stuck in the middle. I have been a...

Do your cats FRAP?

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (167554) • United States 5 Jul 08

I learned this term from a really neat program on Discovery channel, about ten years ago. Frapping= Frequent Random Activity Patterns. For instance, my newest kitty, Leo Tomson frapped all morning. He galloped from the back of the...

cathyt1557 Both of my cats frap and they are 10 and 15. Sometimes only one will do it and other times they do it together and it looks like they are chasing each other. It's cute to watch and call them psycho kitties when they race around like that.

cathyt1557 I have received a cheque today. Have you requested payout? If not you points keep building until you request a payout. Then wait about 6 weeks a cheque will come in the mail.

cathyt1557 I just received my first cheque from them today. Once you cash in your points it takes 4-6 weeks to come in, but they have paid. I like the site and the surveys generally are not too long. I will continue to do surveys at their site.

Weight Loss

What woman is happy with her present weight?

weight loss

9 responses

cathyt1557 I don't think any woman is satisfied with their weight. There is always that 5 lbs or so that you want to lose. I think it's society and it's image of what it is a perfect body should be for women. You don't see men saying oh, if only I could lose 5 lbs. They...

cathyt1557 My daughter was out with friends and was celebrating a birthday so she was drinking a bit too much. I imagine the pick up line was the average pick up line, but her response had her looking him in the eye and saying sorry, I'm not that drunk! I thought that...

cathyt1557 No, I look at the discussions that interest me and I have something to contribute to the discussion. I don't respond just because they are on my list of friends. You could miss out on a lot of interesting discussions going that route.

Do you "bribe" your children to get good grades?

kbkbooks @kbkbooks (7022) • Canada 14 Jun 08

Sometimes you hear kids say, "My parents promised to buy me a {pet, car, toy, candybar, trip...you fill in the blank} if I get at least a B average on my report card." Do you bribe your kids to get good grades? Do you think it is...

cathyt1557 Sometimes bribery is the only way. I had two sons that hated school work so I bribed them. They got better grades. My daughter didn't need to bee bribed as she had good grades, but I rewarded her for her good grades. It's just like being out in the working...

Have you been dubbed "snobby" when you are really just shy?

mentalward @mentalward (14690) • United States 15 Jun 08

I had that happen to me. I am not very shy now, but 30 years ago I was terribly so! I was looked down upon by people who didn't know me because they thought I was a snob. (They were actually the snobs by judging me without even...

cathyt1557 Absolutely! It was around 30 years ago as well. My mother had gone away and it was just my sister, brother and I at home. My brother threw a party and had all of his friends over. One of his friends told him later on that he thought I was a snob because I...

What was the last broken promise made to you?

Amber @AmbiePam (112049) • United States 15 Jun 08

I don't like to make promises unless I know without a shadow of doubt I can keep them. I was reared to believe promises were serious, as I know a lot of other people were too. These days I don't like to make promises at all,...

cathyt1557 I remember it well. I don't know if it's the last one, but it is the one that stands out in my memory the most. It was just after being diagnosed with MS. We were leaving the doctor's office and my then husband had his arm around me and he said not to worry,...

does your husband still appreciate your cooking?

lotsalove @lotsalove (57) • Philippines 14 Jun 08

Does he ever tell you how you did with the last meal? My husband doesn't at every meal of course, but he does compliment me every so often. And I love it when he does. IT motivates me to make every effort to make homecooked meals...

cathyt1557 Yes, my husband compliments me when I cook a homecooked meal and I compliment him when he cooks. We both work, but I get home earlier than he does so I generally cook through the week and he generally cooks on the weekend. We've both made good dishes and we...

Do you use an alarm clock to wake up?

hazelle @hazelle (134) • Philippines 9 Jun 08

cathyt1557 I set the alarm just in case, but I usually wake up before it goes off which is good because the sound is really annoying. I'm annoyed when that nasty alarm wakes me up, but I know I would be annoyed if it didn't. All in all, it's a lose /lose situation for...

cathyt1557 I too love asparagus and am very glad it's in season now. I soak it in Italian dressing and then grill it on the barbeque. It is so good that way. I also like green beans and will toss some slivered almonds and lemon juice in.

My 15 year old daughter has just gotten on my last nerve. It's not bad enough that I deal with the everyday stuff. Now mind you I am not a small woman by any means. But here I am in my own backyard that has a 6 ft tall privacy...

cathyt1557 I do feel for you. I had a darling sweet daughter until the hormones kicked in. Then, if you looked at her the wrong way her head would spin 360 and she would vomit pea soup. It was quite the difficult time, to say the least. Hurrah! They do come out of this...
