Do you obsess about anything? What do you obsess over? I am obsessed with my weight and how my body looks. I used to be very skinny and now that I have gained some weight I am still fairly thin, but I hate my body. I am...

nuttmeg I used to be the same way about my body, but nowadays it's mostly me obsessing about money...or lack thereof rather lol. So with that, work would be involved. I work from the house most of the time and usually on my own schedule, depending on certain...

Okay my oldest cat (3 1/2 years old) is now peeing on my stuff. I had a pair of shorts laying on the floor for five whole minutes (and they were clean!). When I picked them up, they were soaked with her pee. What is the deal? She...

I remember when I was a kid, Mom washed everything using bleach, she said when she smelled bleach, she knew it was clean. Then came Pine scents, then Lemon was the way to go, then for a while Orange was really popular. Now...

nuttmeg I'm always drawn to lemon or orange-scenter, often associating it with clean-smelling, followed by bleach--not as pleasant, but registers as "clean." I never was able to think of anything pine-scenterd as clean for some reason, even though I've certainly had...

nuttmeg Well, congratulations on that 78 cents, that's fab! It does feel good, doesn't it? I admit that when I first started, I was pushing for that hard-earned money, only to be depressed the next day to see it wasn't even close to what I was expecting. Now, however,...

nuttmeg I have gotten pretty wordy, but never that wordy before lol. Guess it depends on my mood, whether I'm feeling talkative or not, and my thoughts on the topic. Anyway, it's a shame that was cut and pasted, though I did see one almost as long (though not quite)...

nuttmeg I actually only started reading the books out of sheer boredom while visiting my mother's house one day. I was dead-set on not bothering with them, thinking they were too trendy and just kid stuff. I read the first 3 books in less than a week. Much better than...

nuttmeg Could very well be the litterbox being low. Other things that are known to set Mom's cat off are it not being clean enough (as in fresh litter or at all), the box being moved, or even not the right size. If you you break it down by trying a few different...

nuttmeg Because I tend to be kind of a private person, and can't stand people living on top of me anymore, I would have to say rural. Sure, living in or near a city (was always suburbanite before the recent place) has its benefits, with more things to do and being...

nuttmeg Not sure how old your child is, but it could be a jealousy factor, depending on how long ago it all started. It could also very well be a something like urinary tract infection, to the litter (not clean enough or just not liking the feel of it) to not getting...

nuttmeg I have to agree with the top poster. Taxes, jobs...all that mess comes from a man-made world. Humans may be smarter (or some humans haha) than most animals and more evolved than many, but I think if all of our creature comforts were taken away, along with...
