Alas, I suspect he has 'chemistry' genes (cooking is, after all, applied domestic food chemistry), directly from me. My mother banned me from my first and only home-chemistry book called "Cup and Saucer Chemistry" because I got easily bored with the rather obvious experiments in the text, and went off in my own direction. I was 8, which is not so far from 7, and the reason why I got into trouble is that I was mixing pretty much *anything I could get my hands on*, and didn't a) clean up the resulting sometimes spectacular mess and b) fully appreciate the dangers that mixing things like dish washing soap and toilet cleaner could have caused. Soy sauce and bubble solution really isn't that bad, and there's a small part of me that is very proud. There's another small part of me that sounds *just* like my mother - its saying "remember when I said I hoped you had a child *just* like you? Well, now you understand why" Yowie LOL! I can understand both of those parts. Joy |

I don't know if they're available where Vicki lives but Crayola makes coloured bubble mixtures now. I doubt they have brown ones, though! OB Cats: You can get catnip-scented bubbles at places like PetCo, PetSmart, Drs. Foster Smith catalog Jill I wouldn't recommend them, Jill. They have a reputation and several lawsuits about stains. Apparently, the bubbles stain everything and are ONLY to be used outside with old clothing or rain coats and hats. Not on my shopping list for that reason. OB Cats: Mine freak out (at least Smokey Does) when confronted by bubbles coming down from above. He doesn't just attack them, he screams and hides from them. The rest of them either ignore them or attack depending on how much nip they've had. They didn't like the nip stinking ones. Pam S. |

Of course you'd use them outside... but the ads say they wash out of clothes completely. Of course it's advertising. It's not something I'm likely to worry about since I don't have kids and I don't run around blowing bubbles myself OB Cats: Mine freak out (at least Smokey Does) when confronted by bubbles coming down from above. He doesn't just attack them, he screams and hides from them. The rest of them either ignore them or attack depending on how much nip they've had. They didn't like the nip stinking ones. Pam S. I'll keep that in mind. Not that I've ever seriously thought about buying any nip-scented bubbles. Persia doesn't play much anymore. (sigh) Jill |

The rest of them either ignore them or attack depending on how much nip they've had. They didn't like the nip stinking ones. Inspired by JEM's legendary 'Frozen Bubbles' post, I tried blowing bubbles one cold frosty day a couple of winters ago. The cats did like it. Caliban especially chased them bubbles all around, and couldn't figure out where they disappeared to when they hit anything. Why did he get a wet paw and no bubble when he caught one? It was pretty funny. Will have to remember it again another time. Of course, they don't have to be frozen to be fun. -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. |

So far he is scooting all over the place and has left some major presents in his diaper and on his bib. Love the term 'Snert' - looking forward to more pics! There's always a special moment in a parent's life when they discover the *third* thing that can happen in a diaper. There's the usual "number 1's" wee and "Number 2's" poo all of which modern diapers are more than capable of dealing with (amazing technology that goes into those things). But then there's "Number 3's", which no known diaper can hold back. We call it "the Poonami" - where not only is the diaper absolutely filled to the brim, but so is whatever the bub is wearing, plus whatever the bub happens to be in at the time, and most likely any and all surfaces in the vicinity. Said youngling is *utterly covered* and needs a bath, *stat*. As does whoever changes them, because it goes *everywhere*. Any non-parent woudl be *amazed* at how far poonamis can actually travel, and just how quickly it spreads. The first sign, of course, is usually "Such a cute baby.. whose a cute baby whos a ..wait..why is your hair wet?... ohh, **** (literally)" This usually occurs at an impromptu "I'll just duck in and get... it won't take a minute" shopping trip where the shop in question has absolutely no place to change a child, and, being such a short trip, you didn't bring the giant baby bag with everything you could possibly need with you. Or possibly on your elderly spinster aunt's cream white shag carpet. Either way, you never forget your first poonami. Yowie |
