Lately, there were problems with mice getting in through the walls behind the kitchen counters. I found droppings on the counter, in drawers and three dead mice in glue traps. I clogged up the gaps connecting the counter to the wall. Still a big hole inside the conter where the water pipe connects...

I mentioned I had to replace my PC. Now I'm trying to install Mozilla Firefox (browser). I cannot figure out how to install this without it asking me to d/l all this other add-on stuff I don't want. I'll keep looking around but if anyone has a quick link to just your basic Firefox...

Hi I would appreciate any help on what is probably an old chessnut. I am not much good at gardenening. We moved home last year and now have quite a nice garden, it has cost money and a lot of work. Cats are insisting on digging up my flower beds and pooing everywhere. I have tried:

Just reading on CNN.com there was a 4.5 quake in northern California overnight. It was reported to have been centered on the small town of King's Beach, California (in Placer County), which is apparently about 15 miles SW of Reno, Nevada. Anyone here in that area? Is all ok? Jeanne Hedge, as...

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I was recently diagnosed with sleep apnea. This is a medical condition where you periodically stop breathing. There are several possible causes, but, in my case, I apparently have an inherited tendency for my windpipe to "relax" too thoroughly when I...

EOM Sorry - again ---- How TERRIBLE of me.

There is a terrible wind rushing around here as well as lashing rain, but the wind has only just got up, so I felt obliged to check the chicken huts to make sure everything was safe (it's very, very late here) I have a lamp that fastens on my head, so put it on, got all the outer clothes on, and...

Long story trying to be short, I've told the story of maMA, found last summer, friendly as anything (dumped, I'm sure) pregnant, got her spayed. She then surprised the heck out of me a week after being spayed, by bringing a litter of 5 kitens out of hiding. I found homes for 4, kept Loki, the...

I have figured out how to run bubbels on my Windows XP machine as a standalone, so I don't have to be connected to the web to play it. The process is somewhat long, but I will post it if enough are interested.

Everyone be careful in this heat. I saw on the weather report this morning most of the U.S.A. will be having a heat wave. Here in Connecticut we are expected to have temperatures 95 to 100 with high humidity. Ann -- read Sam's blog at http://kittens-3.blogspot.com/ see pictures of Sam at...

LOL! I know I've always said I felt like a teenager (especially after losing all the weight I have), but this is ridiculous! ; After inputting my data I got: Typical Life Expectancy - 77 Your Life Expectancy - 111 (well, my grandmother *did* live to be 104 and with medical technology advancing...

Nancy has been doing well at her job for the last year or so, but the place she works is making some management changes. The guy that stands to be named as her new boss is someone she knows to be incompetent, is out to get some of the existing employees, and isn't real fond of Nancy. She has a...

I need to rehome Oreo and Tootsie. I'm moving to Alberta in a few months time and there's no way i can fly four cats out there, two is going to be bad enough. I thought i'd start making an effort now before its too late and i end up having to take them to a shelter. Kristy i live in NB, Canada.....

Dear Group I was admitted to hospital last Friday morning and have returned home tonight with a cocktail of mega painkillers, and major gynae surgery scheduled for May 16. Please purr and pray that what I have got is not malignant, but at the moment it's looking that way. There is a slim chance...

Poor Tycho has infected anal glands. He was so upset he actually bit or scratched the vet which has NEVER happened before. Mom didn't want to leave him for an enima so we are hoping he poops today so he does not have to go back. He is on Clamovox and pred. I don't know why they didn't find it...

One sentence story OK, so I'm going to write a sentence to start a story. Everyone continues the story with one sentence! The sun shone through the window as Misty, the cat, stretched and yawned lightly.

I was driving to the store and thought I heard a cat meowing. What the heck?! When I got to the store I even popped the hood to make sure there wasn't a cat in there. I just *now*, hours later, realized, my cell phone has a cat meowing as the ringtone when certain people call me. (I have...

There was a news story on TV here the past couple of nights about a boy who sicced his dog on a neighbor's cat and videotaped the dog savaging the cat to death. He spent all of about 10 minutes in jail and just said, sarcastically, "Well what do you expect from a teenager?" The poor cat was so...

Not for a teenager rushing around a high-powered car but for the average sensible adult like we all are on here with a car that meets our needs. Would you all mind telling me what you pay? I just want to compare it with what I just paid for my renewal. Thinking about it further, I'd like to...
