I agree with giving the kitty cat food.
I have an older cat, but she likes the ground stuff (wet). Now, what I'll do is put a tablespoon of that with a little bit of water. I bought covers for the cans. So, I'll keep it about 3 days in the refrigerator. Once I have it in the refrigerator, I give her a little bit of warm water with the food. I stir it up to make it sort of like a gravy. My cat has lost some of her teeth, so she doesn't like to chew but she does like dry food as well. The dry food I keep in another area of the house (laundry room), and she'll munch on that at her leisure. I did notice though I have to dump out at night what remains (bits and pieces) of the dry as I guess it gets stale. She gets the "wet" in the morning in a dish. Once she eats that, I take it up and rinse the bowl. She can munch on the dry all day long. I've found that she likes a variety of different dry foods, but I try to get the "green" kind because she doesn't go outside. My cat loves "Friskies" Dental Diet (we call 'em green ballz). I have also noticed however that she likes kitten chow. I wonder if you started more of a habitual pattern with your kitty cat as opposed to different options all day long just to kind of get him on a routine. Hope this helps! Probably not, but I luv talking about my cat! 
P/S: She sneaks into the bathrooms and drinks out of the toilet! YIKES! But I do give her a treat in the later evening either 2 tablespoons of milk or half-and-half. I also buy the soft treats to give once a while, but that's not an everyday thing! She really won't drink a bowl of water per se! 
Saw a 'special' on one of the food channels on meatloaf a while back
and apparently bread crumbs/oatmeal used to add moisture so meat will not dry out during cooking - guess I realized this but never thought about it actually. I make a Mexican meatloaf using crushed tortilla chips, taco seasoning, eggs, taco sauce or salsa. Good luck on yours - sounds yummy!
You might have to copy and paste to open this, as I tried a few times and it does not open. SM
It is worth looking at and warms your heart.
fridge
I love these posts! We, too, had to clean out before Thanksgiving - my husband did it. He said there was "something" all over the bottom under the drawers. Out of sight, out of mind is my standard of living - LOL Aren't we busy at home MTs just the best housekeepers/homemakers? Oh well, my friends feel completely relaxed here and I never lack for company when I want it. A Happy Thanksgiving to All. If you are working between the hours of 5:30AM and 2:00PM, I'll be thinking of you!!
P.S. If I don't clean the closet in my office and the one in our bedroom soon, I'll have to replace the stuff I bought for Christmas way back when - can't get to it right now. Maybe this weekend.
No brainer. YOu can get locks for fridge to keep

my freezer/fridge is dying
Like an idio t, i thought it was my imagination that stuff wasn't getting cold enough or frozen hard enough in my fridge/freezer so i haven't said anything to the manager of our townhous complex. around Wedesday I noticed my cool whip wasn't frozen. Now my "frozen" fish sticks are softer and easy to break. Are they safe to eat? what happens if a "keep frozen" food gets thawed out? Is it still safe to eat?? The office isn't open until Monday and he probably won't get here until Monday afternoon at the earliest so what do I do with all my food in the meantime??
try the LeapFrog Fridge Alaphabet set
I am going through the same issues about the teacher labeling my grand. Although my grand does not have issues with the curriculum, she is sooo far behind the kids in behavior. The teacher is trying to force her to act like the children who are a full year older than she is because that is what the school needs from the kids.
Don't get too upset about this. If you bring that stress into your home, where is the kid going to escape from it to just be a kid? (that's a hint to your grand's mom more than you) The only toy I have found that helps kids learn the alaphabet the way the schools want it learned is the LeapFrog Fridge Alaphabet (about $20 with tax). It is so much fun for my granddaughter and she gets to play in the kitchen while I cook or clean so we do it together.
My mom was a teacher and always said that everyone learns things on their own schedule...how true! Encourage your grand, don't belittle her or let someone else make her feel bad about herself. Being 5-1/2 at almost the end of school is young. She could go to preschool for the summer or have one-on-one time with the son like she is getting to help with her alphabet. She could repeat K to have a chance to catch up. Just remember you can't force her to learn...you can only influence her learning. If she finds learning to be a negative experience early in school, she will always perceive it that way.
Keep up the great job, gran!!
One day my 3 year old son was looking in the fridge reviewing things

I had calendar on fridge kept track of rotated weeks

It's nice, but food prices insane and food is really bad,

My cat only eats dog food and won't eat cat food or even tuna.
LOL
I am using Angel Food Network for help with food (sm)
Being much more careful not to waste food. No more fast food. Soda only if bought in a two-liter bottle, not singles or fountain. Most of my money waste was spent on food.
Pet food recall -- dog food and cat food

My dog loves coconut oil right off the spoon. Try the health food store. Sometimes in food store,

Then they can get right back on their tires and rafts and float on back to Cuba! nm

nothing is open
I would take her to gynecologist...seriously.
Open minded
Others might see it as straddling the fence. If you are an adult and don't know where you stand on the question of god/spirituality/religion, then you should not respond to postings and criticize others' beliefs. If you truly were open minded, you would read, learn, think, decide, and respect others' rights to do the same.
yo, please open up your brain.....
 
I don't see why you would have to open a separate--sm
account just to deposit that check. Once the bank cashes the check, you get the money. If there are not sufficient funds, that will go against HIM, not YOU. He will have to pay the extra fees, etc. to have the check clear. You get your money, either way. They cannot take it away from you if there is not enough money in HIS account.
Thanks for the suggestions! Am definitely open to others. nm
!
....here. Maybe the windows will be open if it's
s
I was reluctant to open this...
for fear of the unimaginable...Thanks for posting this adorable guy! AWWWW
I had open RNY in May...Best thing I ever did.
Happy, sexy, healthy! Merry Christmas to me~!!
Actually he can open the refrigerator-
so what is the answer now? He is a smart one, gets out what he likes, the ham, the chicken and just has a feast. Next answer.....
OMG! Get a dictionary and open it up
as
i would open the dialogue
ask lots of questions and listen. Personally i have seen such things. I have had dreams that gave me information in a supernatural way. but what he is saying could be as he says it is, or it could arise out of fear or some other emotion. so again, let him talk and listen. I would not make it into more than it is, or minimize it either.
Never had enough to open a store...sm
But have bought and sold on ebay for over 10 years. Love it.
If the store is still open....
If you have a big platter or can get a throw-away one, make a nice cheese and cracker platter and put a bowl of grapes in the middle, that way you'll still have something to munch on while playing cards, or before dinner as it sounds like dinner is going to be sparse. Throw a couple of boxes of cornbread muffin mix (quick) into a large baking dish and bring corn bread. Everyone loves corn bread. Monkey bread is easy to make with a couple of rolls of those prepaid biscuits and recipes are all over the net for it, simple. Or a fruit platter with a dip in the middle. My brain is tired and the stores are closing. Unless you want to bring a ham but you'd be taking a chance on ruining her menu, after all,you are the DIL! Good luck with it, drink some Slim Fast first! Happy Day! While you're playing cards, something simple is "Scoops" with salsa. Just happen to have them in your trunk. Hurry up, it's getting late, maybe the drug store is open or a 711.
I'd pop it open and get a fork. nm

I'm an OWL - I always sleep with one eye open
ROFL!
go in with open mind
that is what i did with my first....I couldn't decide if i wanted one or not....after about two hrs of contractions i knew i wanted one but since it was a small hospital had to wait until 8 hours later but still got one. I have had more children since then and i defintely had the epidural....so my suggestion is go in open minded and decided then...no need to make a full decision now
Back-to-back black swans that look like (sm)
a giant moustache. My MIL painted it for us and put our last name on it and my DH nailed it to an outside storage room door. It looks ridiculous, and when the kids have other kids over they always ask why we have a giant moustache on our door!
Hayseed was back a few weeks back
But we haven't heard from her since. I miss her too. I hope she's doing okay.
If you have no choice to open up the door - sm
just say that now is not a good time for a visit and to call before coming next time (because you work from home and cannot just drop everything when someone pops by)(add that on if you chose to). They may not like hearing any of it but tough cookies. If you are out of sight, just don't answer the door, if it happens often enough maybe they will think to call first next time and you can again say no, or to nip the visits in the bud say you are quiting that church and to please stop calling you. I am in the boonies and get the occasional church groupie visits of various faiths, I just tell them "not interested" and they go on their merry way without a fight for the most part. Good luck.
Surely you dont think they would open themselves up for
hik
PS: How to open image gallery - sm
The webside is kind of jumbled & a little hard to read.
1) Click on one of the thumbnil photos displayed below the title near the top of the page.
2) A new page & larger photo will appear. You can bring up different years, camps, etc. by typing them in, or just click on the little black 'GO' box to bring up a pageful of thumbnails.
3) Then click on any thumbnail you wish to zoom in on.
Nuts..wouldn''t open for me. nm

have been for 30 years - tho do open windows
to listen to the birds before the world arises...but now we don't have to - they're chirping at 2 a.m.
LOL
I got a card at Christmas that I did not open
and put in a drawer- so no not everyone wants a card. The poster needs to mind her business and cool it. I would be totally put off by a popping in to see me, taking a dinner over for me, etc. etc. I think the mother said new mother does not WANT to be bothered. What is so hard to understand about that? Lots of people are worn out after giving birth and want time to recuperate. The poster made to do about her friend not accepting calls while hubby home and she does, and so? The new mother in her own home makes her own rules and the rule she has for right now is not seeing any people or talking on the phone, her wishes.
I open up my checkbook and look at the Ɔ' balance --

And if you open it up for her to teach them her way, then you are opening it up to all (sm)
That means people who are homophobic or racist can also teach children their point of view? There has to be a line drawn somewhere.
You need to read this and with an open mind
Some important points from the article:
1. Circumcision is not a benign surgery.
2. The U.S. is the only Western nation that surgically alters its males.
3. Genitally-intact Europeans are often very amused to hear the notions circumcised Americans have about the normal human penis.
4. The European medical community condemns the U.S. for a practice they call a barbaric violation of human rights.
5. Europeans believe that males have a basic human right to an intact penis, a right to keep the body they were born with, and a right to body ownership and autonomy. For them it is a question of respect and dignity.
6. The foreskin plays a large role in sexual function. When sexually aroused, its lips expand and unroll over the glans. The glans stimulates the foreskin, and the foreskin stimulates the glans.
7. The foreskin has glands that produce a natural moisturizer and lubricant called smegma. Smegma serves the same purpose as tears do in the eye: it keeps everything moist, clean, and lubricated.

You know, most of the time I am very open minded, but
I really have a few things to say about that.
I don't expect people to give up their culture when they come here, but they shouldn't be allowed to FORCE it on everyone else.
I have my own culture and so do the rest of you. Comments like that trying to sound so PC upset me because we are expected to give up our culture to pander to those who cannot adapt and overcome.
We live in the USA. It has a nickname. It is called the "Great American Melting Pot". Hello? Do we not know what that means? Yes, every race in religion in the world has been welcomed here. What happens to stuff when you put it in a pot and boil it? It blends together and turns into something different. How can it be a melting pot when everyone wants to retain every single aspect of their former life? That was not the intention of the founders of our country.
That said, I will tell you WHY it is wrong to expect someone to understand another person's culture. My great grandparents came here from Ireland and Germany. From the time they got here, they were expected to obey the laws here, regardless of their religion or what they did back in their old country. They were expected to learn English--and they did those things. It is an insult to my ancestors when I see people come here and EXPECT to be catered to. My ancestors worked very hard. They only got what they worked for all their lives. No one provided them with an interpreter every time they went to the store, the bank, the post office or the doctor. They also had holidays others didn't understand and had native languages that others didn't understand. It was reserved for home use.
Do I usually complain about ESLs? NOPE. If they are actually trying I give them a break. Some of them that I have been transcribing for years have actually improved tremendously. Others, you can tell don't care if you can understand them and they have continued with the same issues for years.
I would not go to a foreign country and expect them to understand my culture, my religion, my customs or my language. I would expect to learn theirs.
Being politically correct is a lie. If it looks like a duck, acts like a duck and quacks like a duck--it must be a duck! I will not call it something else to make someone more comfortable.
I could not open the link, so I post this......
Q: What is the safest kind of fish to eat?
Farmed trout,
wild salmon,
summer floundern,
blue crab
are the fish with the absolute lowest mercury content. The most dangerous?
Shark,
swordfish,
king mackerel,
tilefish,
tuna.
Most doctors I know prefer women that are open....sm
and not trying to act like someone they aren't. Just treat him like a regular person and hopefully you'll have a great time.
Yeah, if they are old enough to tell you to open your blouse because they are hungry
they are DONE with breastfeeding. Really odd.
search for *open-ended* MRI places
Open-ended MRI imaging centers is what you need to look for. We have plenty here where I live (Florida)...but MANY people cannot stand the long narrow tube to lay in for hour(s)....just like me! So, keep on searching for open-ended MRI centers!! *S*
Hey Jan - You can also open a free account with photobucket.com
You can upload any pictures to that and then change the size. After that you can copy it onto the avatar secton here.

Still keeping the windows open, even at night
Here in So. Indiana, we are finally past the heat wave and really having some enjoyable weather.. but are still desperate for some rain. Won't even thinking about burning any wood in the stove until December.
45 here; heat on or windows open today? (nm)
