I have 2 kids just down at the end of the block from me and their parents don't give a rat's behind what they're doing.  They're real smart alecks - ages 10 and 12 (?), both in elementary school.  Apparently, they're quite the bullies at school, too.  They like to mouth to any adults when they whiz by on their bikes.  Is it wrong that I'd love to take my kids' BB guns and shoot their tires out when they're doing this? 

Their mom doesn't care.  When we first moved into town this past fall (short-term thing while we're building in the country), I felt sorry for them.  They put on a good act.  After a few weeks of them coming to our house and pretending to want to play with the boys, we soon realized they were freeloaders -- wanted to eat everything in my fridge (without even asking first) and then wanted to play our computers or video games (without my kids).  I put the klinks on that real fast.  After that, they started treating my kids like crap.  I told my boys as long as they didn't do anything physical to just ignore them because they didn't care if they got in trouble and neither did their parents.  Their mom even had the balls to come looking for them 1 night after they didn't go home.  It was 9 o'clock at night and it got dark then around 7.  I couldn't believe it. 

Just a few weeks ago, the 2 perps beat another kid with a baseball bat at the ballfield.  The cops were at their house quite a bit, but I see they're back out on their bikes again wreaking havoc.  I can't wait till we move back out to the country!

 Paper products, plastic cups, utensils, toliet paper, diapers, pads, sunscreen,  baby wipes for sponge baths, etc. There may be no way to wash dishes.

 Water. Fill up your tub  and all trash cans so you can flush your toliet.

 Bleach... You can't have enough bleach

 Brand name trash bags. Wet stuff is heavy.

 Lotrimine or anti-fungal cream.. walking in wet stuff..

 Soda. They give out ice eventually. Everyone ends up with more ice and water bottles than they know what to do with. Soda is great if the smell of mold makes you sick.

 Drink mixes, if you get MREs they all don't come with kool-aid LOL.

Canned fruit, cups of fruit, applesauces, granola bars, chips, cookies, cereal, anything from the processed cereal and snack areas! Granola mix is great!!!! Crakcers and pb are filling too.

Canned meat like tuna and chicken.

Fresh fruit until it goes bad.

Cleaning supplies, with no power the mold gets really bad.

Fabreeze or something to spray your gross clothing with!

ENTERTAINMENT. There is so much waiting.

Last year we bought a bag of potatoes, and didn't use them before they started to sprout. Then I baked all of them and froze them in freezer bags.  Took one out of freezer and thawed in microwave when we wanted one.  Delicious.  I just put butter on mine.

Fluoroethanes don't have chlorine atoms. This means they aren't CFCs, and thus they do not deplete the ozone layer. No offense, but unless you have information these dusters contain chlorofluoroethanes (not likely as these have been phased out for quite some time now) or that fluoroethanes are proven to have some other harmful effects, you really need to think before spreading misinformation.  By spreading this misinformation, you are giving (knowledgeable) environmentalists a bad name.

Not bad with cubed tofu, either.  Also, what about vegetarian lasagna, eggplant parmesan, vegetable soup.  More recipes are here, some vegetarian, but you can always substitute ground turkey or leave out the beef.

I'm scraping the bottom of my pantry barrel so to speak.  I just found canned tuna that I forgot I had and a box of instant brown rice.  Any ideas on combining those two?

Thanks.

Thank you to everyone who helped me through these last couple of weeks with my beautiful cat with bone cancer.  We finally put her to sleep yesterday and it was very difficult for us but for her it was very quick and nontraumatic.  The hardest part for her was the ride down to the vet's because she hates/hated that part.  We then took her to the cremation place and should have her ashes back within a week.  I didn't write until now because my heart is still very sad.  I still haven't picked up her "things" around the house but will probably try to do that tonight or I may only be able to do a couple of things at a time, but that's okay. 

I wrote about our milk prices here and it got me thinking how we probably won't have to buy as much milk now or the whole roasted chickens at Costco we used to buy for her.  She would share some with us but it was really Mochi's chicken.  She would come running in from outside whenever we cooked chicken too.  Plus she would do what we called "praying to the refrigerator God" for something good to eat, she would sit in front of the refrigerator doors and just stare at it or sometimes rub up against it until we opened it up and found something in there for her. 

We hadn't been able to let her outside for a month or so so that she could warm herself in the sun, so I think she is very happily sunning herself right now, in no pain. 

Sounds like you did all you could and provided a wonderful home.   

She sounds sweet!  I swear by a liquid called Ration Plus.  I first got it for my equines who had weight problems and gas.  It's a prebiotic that works in their hindgut to regulate things...makes food stick to the ribs and helps with things like diarrhea and gas.  I also give it to my dogs now and again and even my old senior cat.  I put it right on their food and they gobble it right up.

HOWEVER, it does not state anywhere on their website or the label that it is appropriate for cats.  I just wrote to them actually, just now, to find out if it was safe for felines.  I know I've been feeding it to my cat now for over a year, one or two times a week as a top dressing on his food, and haven't had any problems and he looks great.  I will let you know what they say about it.

Fantastic results and a bottle lasts a long, long time. 

Here's their company website: http://www.rationplus.com/dog.html
but I buy it from pet places because it's usually cheaper that way.

She's an 8 year old Exotic Shorthair Persian named Charlotte.  Her little tongue sticks out all the time, 'cuz her face is so flat & her mouth is so small.  She's tiny - and only weighs about 5-1/4 lbs. right now.  Needs to gain a pound or two.)  She's a total cuddle-bug!  

(She just came out to say hi to me - she was annoyed with me earlier because I had to give her a pill.  Not easy with that tiny little mouth!)  Whenever I'm on the computer, she sits on the back of my chair and "helps". 

Oh and I love your "blanket" on your bed?  Can I have that?  It looks so luxurious especially this time of night after typing all day!  What a life!  I want to be a cat in my next life! 

This is our cat!  This is around the holidays, and my 7-year-old thought she'd jazz her up a bit, but I'm not so sure she is liking it.  She does like having pictures taken though! 

Hope your cat feels better soon; she is just beautiful!     GET WELL SOON AIDA!
