It has finally gotten hot here where I live! I went to Arby's to grab lunch the other day on my lunch break from work. The cashier asked me if it was still nice outside. I told her that I just dash from one air conditioned place...

windymyre I am in Michigan in the United States. It is summer here now & has been hot for the last few days. Before then the temperature had been pretty mild. I've heard that turning your air off & on costs more than keeping it on all the time. But I guess it isn't...

I've been doing a lot of research online for natural flea remedies for our dogs. I've heard that putting lavender, rosemary or eucalyptus leaves under their bedding repells fleas. Has anyone ever tried this? I also read a lot...

windymyre Do you know where to buy Brewer's yeast? Oh, it just dawned on me, does that mean "brewer's" as in making beer?? hmmm! I'm willing to try just about anything to keep all those chemicals off my pets. The outside cats keep coming in & bringing in more & more...

We are night owls around here. I went to bed about 3am. When my husband came to bed about 5:30am, he woke me up to tell me that our cat, Angel, was going to have kittens. There is a pull over Miami Dolphins coat that will not stay...

windymyre For as much as I would like to, no, we are not keeping the kittens!! I will work hard to find them new homes like I did with her last litter. I am going to see if I can get people to donate $10 per kitten towards having the mom spayed. She has had 3 litters of...

windymyre We are an hour away from the bus station in Detroit!! Sure, you can come stay with us to play with the kittens!! You might want to wait about a month. They are much more fun then when they are up & running around. I can't imagine having 8 little ones running...

Hello Everyone, I just thought I would share this with you. We have 3 beautiful cats and we almost lost one last night. I bought a flea product to help my cats. My cats don't have flea bad but a friend brought their cat over who...

windymyre Have you tried any of the natural flea remedies, fifileigh? I've been reading a lot about them on the internet, but would like to hear from someone who has actually tried them. I did buy Brewer's Yeast tablets for our pets, but my husband didn't want me to...

windymyre you said it! Her & I were talking about babies the other day & I said something to her about she might have babies of her own one day. She told me she didn't think so because she thinks it will be too hard after all she does to help her mom with her (half)...

windymyre I understand your response & I know that there are call centers all over the world. I just do not think it is right for American companies to have their call centers overseas & then expect Americans to continue to use their services. I personally stop using a...

What do you think about telemarketers? Are they totally annoying? Or are they just a person doing their job? Do you think it is ok to yell at them or slam the phone down? Or to play games with them? Are they not human just like...

windymyre This is a prime example of one bad apple spoiling the whole bunch. Not all telemarketers, or used car salesmen, for that matter, are bad people. There are companies out there that try to scam people when they call, or sell bad cars. But there are also...

Do you use coupons when you shop? I do, especially on groceries. I trade coupons with friends across the country by mail & also belong to a local group where we meet once a month for lunch & to share coupons. I read all the sale...

windymyre I could probably get $400 worth of groceries for $100, but it would be mostly stuff we don't use! I have saved a couple of receipts where I have gotten really good deals. One time I bought something like 20 or more jars of Chi Chi's salsa for just a few...

windymyre I have family in Tustin, CA & I always wonder about their safety when there is a fire in the area. They talk often about earthquakes & how so many things get broken.

windymyre Thank you for your concern. The fire has since been contained today & the large drums of gasoline did not explode. My brother did stay in his house last night, although he was in the evacuation area. I'm glad when the fire was in your area that it didn't...

Oreo cookies are constantly coming out with new "limited edition" flavors. It really bugs me when I like a certain flavor & then can't get it any more. So far this year I've tried Strawberry Milkshake & something to do with banana...

windymyre I actually have a Cadbury egg here left over from Easter! You can't keep them too long or they crystallize. I think they were selling them for another holiday also. It seems like it was around Halloween last year. The Carmello bars have been around for...

windymyre I really liked it despite the mess. I did take the time to shake the bottle for a few minutes today & get the extra powder back down in the bottle. Hopefully it will be easier to use now. I wore the CG one day to work, but got a compliment on my makeup the...
