Looking for some guidance here... Years ago I used to do a lot of yoga and martial arts, but now I am out of shape and carrying excess weight, so I decided to give Pilates a go. A while back I heard it mentioned in a weight-loss group, then about a month ago I was in Wal-Mart and saw a Pilates DVD...

The group of six horses in the field next to me have hardly drunk any water since Friday. Normally even in cooler weather a group that size will consume 100 gallons a day, and it's been well over 100º here for the last 5-6 days. Friday evening I topped off the tough; Saturday morning it was only...

Dave wants to get one for cutting fallen trees in the national forest for our woodstove. So I was looking around online and took note of this one: http://www.amazon.com/Poulan-PP3516AVX-16-Inch-2-Cycle-Anti-Vibration/dp/B000E1587U/ I thought it looks adequate for what we want, and is probably...

I was on my way to work Thursday morning, just off the island where I live. It's pretty much surrounded by marsh which fills with water when the tide comes in. It's fed by the inland creeks off the southern atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. So I'm driving along and I see this black critter up on...

I met with the President of the Board of Directors and the Membership Director yesterday to address this ridiculous requirement of having to be a member of "the club". (My friend and neighbor came along to provide moral support.) This meeting is my last hope of not having to sell the...

Annie (the D-pet) has a fenced in yard! All cedar (more resistant to rot & insects, and nicer than 'pressure treated' wood), semi-privacy fence enclosing the yard behind our house. Last weekend we installed the last of the posts, and put the rails up (this after moving that 16~ feet of...

OK here's the situation: I have a very big yard here, and in some spots the grass grew very quickly. I've been cutting it down bit by bit with a scythe. It's about 80% done now, and the last of it is right in the center of the backyard. But I'm not fast enough to please a couple of the neighbors,...

Okay, this Sunday on the good ole Fourth of July I will do my first sprint triathlon. I am ready! I have really been working hard toward this goal but it definitely has cut into my online time. (that I don't like, I miss being able to read and post). I am very confident in my swimming. I have...

Does anyone know of a site, app, or browser plug-in that will allow me to compare prices of particular named products between a number of named websites of my choosing? e.g. if I want to search for several types of particular prescription pet food on 5 internet pet supplies sites, is there a quick...

Well, my laptop finally gave me enough fits to give up and move upstairs to the Computer Room/Kitty Rescue Room and start using this computer to read and post from. I had to download Free Agent and get it all configured (which took awhile -- been some time since I'd done that, and I tend to forget...

One of Goofys favorite of many spots is the table in the back of my house here he can be seen recently overseeing the activity in the yard. http://www.ferrari-dvd.com/goofy/GoofOversees.jpg

I was working today with a woman who has 3 cats. She was complaining that they were peeing all over the place, and she couldn't get them to stop. Being the helpful person I am, I asked her what she was cleaning with. She said "ammonia". I almost hit the roof. I asked her if she knew what the major...

I (thankfully) don't live where anyone rings my doorbell looking for candy. But I do have a cat-flag hanging outside :) And I've seen some mailboxes decorated with wooden pumpkin faces so I know I'm not the only one :) I plan to have a pumpkin and some decorative gourds, maybe some corn stalks....

Smudge peed in my car! It's a long story, but I do not know where the actual urine stain is. So I had to find a place that sold blacklights, so I could find the stain, and apply the Nature's Miracle. I found a blacklight at a pet store, but it was sold only in a package with some odor-remover...

No, I'm not really afraid of spiders. Many spiders are beneficial. And some, like the large black & yellow argiope spiders I had flanking my patio a couple of years ago are strikingly beautiful. But I don't want spiders in my house. That's not usually a problem. I think I might find one...
