The Flea Wars Are ON!! HELP!! LOL!!!

melanie652 @melanie652 (2524) • United States 26 Jul 09

Okay - here's what's going on..... My poor kitty cats are fighting the fleas again. I've usually alternated between Frontline and the natural flea spray or the spot on made by Natures Guardian. I don't like using chemicals like...

What happened with our parakeet?

melanie652 @melanie652 (2524) • United States 19 Mar 09

Last week we noticed one of our parakeets (the female) was sort of staggering around their cage and had trouble keeping her balance. It looked like she'd had a stoke or something. When I googled her symptoms, I read that a...

Weight loss tips for our too fat cats?

melanie652 @melanie652 (2524) • United States 19 Mar 09

Our little furry four legged darlings are just too fat! I figured out if I wet down their dry food it fills them up and they don't eat as much. They drink the water out of the bowl and then eat the soaked food. Also we don't...

Even though gas prices are well below that high of $4+ a gallon. My pickup is still parked most of the time and I'm driving my little car that gets 30+ miles per gallon. When I can drive the car for a month on what it would...

Ever start a discussion you wish you hadn't?

melanie652 @melanie652 (2524) • United States 5 Mar 09

I started one about bigger package doesn't always mean better value. Since no one has responded, it makes me wish I hadn't started it and could delete it. LOL What about you?

Family sized or a bigger package does NOT always equal a better value!

melanie652 @melanie652 (2524) • United States 1 Mar 09

I noticed when I was in Walmart grocery shopping a couple days ago the Suave shampoo and conditioner were 96 cents for the 15 ounce size. I wanted the bigger bottles and started to grab the 22.5 ounce bottle until I noticed the...

What do you like to buy off of Ebay?

melanie652 @melanie652 (2524) • United States 19 Feb 09

I think the most regular thing I buy is clothes - jeans in particular. I've found it's cheaper for me to buy nice clothes and new clothes off of ebay than going to the store. What about you? What do you like to buy on ebay?

Does the laundry detergent you use make that much of a difference?

melanie652 @melanie652 (2524) • United States 24 Jan 09

For years I've used All or the Arm & Hammer laundry detergent. I've also used Wisk and Era. All seem to do a good job of cleaning and I don't really notice a difference except in the price. I have noticed our darker colored...

No negative feedback? Don't think I like it..........

melanie652 @melanie652 (2524) • United States 24 Jan 09

Now that it's been a little while since ebay started doing their no negative feedback can be posted by sellers, I don't think I like it. I see a seller relisted an item I had been outbid out on. I'm wondering if the person that...

I've been out shopping off and on the last few days checking out the after Christmas sales. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find what I'm looking for at the price I'm willing to pay, but I've been shocked to see spring...

After Christmas Sales

melanie652 @melanie652 (2524) • United States 31 Dec 08

I was disappointed in the after Christmas sales this year. Although I saw lots of good markdowns - as much as 70% off, it looked to me like they simply marked down items that weren't selling very well to begin with??? I went...

Do you buy Christmas gifts for your pets?

melanie652 @melanie652 (2524) • United States 23 Nov 08

I usually get our cats some sort of little play toys and a chewy toy for our dog. We don't really do anything for our parakeets though. Do you do anything special for your pets?

How's your weather?

melanie652 @melanie652 (2524) • United States 1 Nov 08

Our weather in Oklahoma has been absolutely beautiful for the last week or two. More like spring than fall and soon to be winter. Today it's supposed to be in the mid-70's. Cold front comes through next week and then back to the...

Are drivers slowing down?

melanie652 @melanie652 (2524) • United States 20 Jul 08

With the high gas prices, have you noticed if other drivers are slowing down or driving any different in your area? I do things like no more quick starts and stops if I can help it and rarely speed anymore. I have noticed a...

Do you really believe the car ads from the dealerships?

melanie652 @melanie652 (2524) • United States 28 Jun 08

Once again I hear one of those silly ads on the radio or see it on tv from a car dealership about how if they can't beat the price from a competitor on a car by $500 they'll GIVE you $10,000 or GIVE you the car or some other...

What is the LOWEST price you can remember for Gas?

melanie652 @melanie652 (2524) • United States 22 Jun 08

With all the recent discussions about the high gas prices, it got me to thinking about the lowest I've ever paid for gas. 79 cents a gallons comes to mind from about 10-12 years ago. Surely it was even cheaper than that 25-30...

Over or Under?

melanie652 @melanie652 (2524) • United States 23 Feb 08

I'm talking about toilet paper of course! Which way do you prefer the roll? With the start of the roll over the top or from underneath? I prefer it over the top because it's easier to see where it starts. It actually annoys me...
