but he loves baby carrots. My cat, on the other hand, LOVES apples. Never had a cat that ate anything other than cat food.

Oh, and you forgot, his is not on a regular basis
either. I think he does not have enough information to make any kind of judgement on a home at this time. Where I live in the US you do not borrow from family/friends/anyone to put down a down payment. Rules are strict and no interest is a crazy thing to do. Repossessions are at an all time high- probably because of this.
The only show I watch on a regular basis
is Grey's Anatomy - could NOT live without it!! Really, that's the only TV I watch too. I catch glimpses of other shows as I'm walking through the living room but have too much to do to just sit there.
My husband is drug tested on a regular basis
for his job, just took 1 yesterday. It can be at any time, when he is arriving or leaving work and being as he has a responsible job, I am totally all for it as he is.
Bet I see her at our area managers and directors meetings on a regular basis! :)

NeilMed Sinus Rinse works great if you can do it on a regular basis.nm.
My cat only eats dog food and won't eat cat food or even tuna.
LOL
There is another guy on the food channel who eats yucky!

Food Network TV personality...host of Good Eats.
 Great show...he blends science with food. It's perfect for those of us with attention-span-holding issues!
cheap eats
There are plenty of cheap eats in the city once you learn your way around. For example, the fruit in Chinatown is fantastic, and a whole lot cheaper than what I pay in my town. But my very, very, very favorite is a Middle Eastern pushcart on 6th and 56th(?) outside the Hilton. They sell a chicken and rice dish for $4 that is amazing. It is a huge amount of food,and I usually split with my daughter. Throw a couple of drinks in and we have spent $6 for a yummy lunch for two.
It is not unsanitary like you might think. They have been there for years and are extremely popular. Last time we went to NYC, we stayed in Brooklyn and made a special trip to the pushcart. They are there during the week for lunch only.
Labor Day eats
Baked bean. Roasted corn on the cob.
Sheltie
What's up with the Sheltie? I have Shelties and goldens.....they go together like P&J, or even a bologna, pickle and potato chip sandwich!

Where do you live? There should be a local dog club that can put you in touch with the nearest Sheltie rescue.
Unlike shelters, rescues really RESCUE and find forever homes.
Sheltie -- could it be
What I would do but this is me -- I would introduce myself to them. Perhaps someone was already supposed to have been "dog sitting" like you want to provide but were not doing their job. So I would introduce myself, and say that you noticed that their dog had really missed them, was very lonely and you are so happy that they are home now for the dog's sake. If they were paying someone to take care of the dog and they did not do their job they might appreciate hearing about it so they can take it up with them. I would like to know if someone I was paying was not taking care of my animals. So perhaps give them theh benefit of the doubt until you meet them but in a nice way let them know how lonely the dog was, etc. You might also call the PD and ask them to follow up on the complaints with the people. Then offer your paid services if they are to ever go away again. But I would definitely not let it slide and talk with them as it sounds like you are not the only one that this was upsetting to. Good luck.
Sheltie! nm

Sheltie update
I am so sorry I didn't post this sooner. Been swamped at work and haven't looked at the board in awhile. Well the neighbors have not come home yet (I used a word to describe them but the filter would not allow me to use that word in this post :-o) The dog is supplied with food and water and a place to sleep (a bed in an open large cage on the back porch area so she can get in and out anytime she wants). Anyway...the other night the dog was barking (howling and howling). I was crying for it. Hubby went over to pet it and play with it (he usually does around 11 or so when everyone is asleep and no lights are on (except a dim streetlight down the road), so the other night it was crying and he went outside and a police guy pulled up. Evidently they received a few calls from the neighbors about the dog. So hubby explained the situation to him. He said he was going to put the dog in the garage to calm it down a bit and the next day was going to call animal control to come and pick her up. HOORAY! That was night before last. Today hubby went out and dog is there, so don't know what's going on. We re not confrontrational and just moved to the area. We do not even know what the neighbors look like. They have two pickup trucks with a bunch of redneck stickers all over it, so we aren't saying anything to them. Still hoping animal control will come and get the dog.
Another Sheltie update
Since I last sent the message a couple hours ago the owners have come home. HOORAY!!!!! HOORAH!!!!! What a relief. I've cried I don't know how many times over the past two weeks for that poor lonely dog. It broke my heart so bad. But glad they are back. The positive outcome of the situation is that now my husband and I are putting into works a plan to start up a pet sitting business. No pet should ever have to stay alone for so long.
2 cats and a sheltie
The cats are Lucky and Tripp and the dog is Casey.
I loved my Sheltie...sm
But he wasn't the best with kids, even though we got him when he was a puppy. I don't know if it was just his personality. He was okay with my kids, but he didn't care for other kids when they visited. Just thought I'd throw in my 2 cents.
Right - he IS a minority in the group of kids he is around on a reg. basis (nm)

1 Sheltie, 1 golden, 1 Brat Cat
Presently:
Crissie, bi blue Sheltie.
Jamie, golden
Kazie, AKA Brat Cat.
Just in the past year I lost:
Starting in March, 06 my 21-year-old kitty Dinger, then in July 10-year-old Taz Duh Golden (not too bright), 15 days later, B.J.'s a cat who absolutely loved Taz and I know mourned himself to death!, then in Feb 07, 'Stash a 15-year-old kitty.
Happily, I've had many grace my heart before this and are now waiting for me at the Bridge. Three are my absolute heart dogs....Jennifer and Tyde were goldens and Casie was a Sheltie/Shepard mix. I miss these little critters so much!
I have a sheltie that ate the wall, among other things sm
Ate the carpet, bath mats, loved to steal clothes out of the dryer while unloading, and dryer sheets (very toxic for dogs). We decided she had separation anxiety. Tried the whole ticking clock thing, radio on, and crate etc. We had a sturdy nylon crate (the $70 kind, not the flimsy $20 kind) and she ate through it. I finally had to end up working with her in my office, which is upstairs, and slowly gradually moved her across the room, into the hallway, and finally downstairs. It was a long process. Took a training class and of course they say "a bored dog is a bad dog." Had bunches of toys of different types, textures, strengths, bones, etc. Nothing worked until we did the progressive separation technique.
What's the basis of their civil lawsuit if they got their stuff back?
It's not like he's a habitual criminal. Tell the court you'll just add it to your bankruptcy because that's where they're pushing you. Or see if you can make $5 a month payments. The kid is crying out for help here. How is it going to help him if you guys have more bills?
We hardly wear skirts ever and mostly meet at the church (basis of prayer)

good luck, and I hope you still watch out for Sheltie

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

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.

I dod get regular paps (sm)
Had one about 7 or 8 months ago. Had dysplasia about 10 years ago, conal biopsy and LEEP. Have always had normal paps since. I have a lot of symptoms don't want to be too graphic - hot flashes, bleeding between periods, pink dschg and another I don't want to say on here. I had attributed all this to perimenopause until this last symptom which has me scared now.
You are a regular laugh

How is it different from regular shampoo?
Is it conditioning? I have to avoid conditioning shampoos, so I've wasted a lot of money trying shampoos that are all about conditioning the hair (It irritates the skin).
Your regular bus driver
desires a poinsetta or something. It's good to reward good service.
regular or flavored?

Well, regular people might be
ignorant but what about the humane shelters who refuse to adopt them out because of their aggressive nature? You can talk and talk but it does not change the fact that these dogs are well known for their mauling and killing of people. Just because you love does not make it otherwise. Stick your head in the sand, no one else cares but most people have sense enough not to own.
Does he do this at his regular feeding times?
Have you cut back not only on the amount of food but the amount of times you feed him? If so, that may be why he is reacting this way.
My dog is overweight, too, and since he has problems with his legs, the vet wants us to try to help him lose weight. She said to feed him small meals more often so that he will feel satisfied but to make sure we cut down on the total amount of food given per day.
So maybe that would work with your cat - smaller meals, more often. Worth a try, right? 
Relaxing..my regular days off are Wed, Thu, and Fri...
so luck out this year!

Bake like a regular potato
They are good if you make them just like a regular baked potato too and just add butter, salt, and pepper. My husband also grilled them in foil this summer with butter and just a touch of brown sugar and they were great. I do not like the canned, fresh are MUCH better and less sweet from the start. I also saw a recipe for sweet potato chips in the oven. I haven't tried it yet and can't remember where I found the recipe but I'm sure you can Google it.
So you do regular maintenance on the computer..sm
Such as check for Windows updates, deleting your cookies and browsing history, scanning for errors, and defragmenting? If you need help with any of this let me know. I can give you instructions on it. I have Windows XP so that is the version I know about. I don't know about other versions. These things really make a difference.
Dizzy regular - did you find out what's wrong?? (nm)

How about regular old-fashioned wax furniture polish? sm
Beware, Kitty might skid on that towel and dig in with her claws to steady herself.
It's very nice of you to be kitty sitting!
Meant : Do you do regular maintenance not "So"

I get mine from a regular grocery store
What you want to buy is a "city" ham, not a "country" ham. City hams have less salt. Smithfield hams are good. I've also tried Cooks' and Hatfield. Don't know if they sell those in your part of the country.
I get a catalog called Burger's Smokehouse and those hams look absolutely fantastic. I would love to order from there but I'm strapped for cash right now.
The past 2 years, we have gotten a 1/2 pig from a local butcher. DH loves them. I'm not crazy about them.

She's a regular on Court TV and has a show on Headline News
I'm not a huge Nancy Grace fan, but I do appreciate her spunk! She is an advid advocate for the prosecution. When she was young, teens or early 20s?, her fiance was killed in front of her in a convenience store. After that she became a prosecuting attorney and then got a gig on CTV.
She's very, very pro-prosecution to the point of when the person is arrested, they are guilty according to her. Many times they are guilty, but she just takes it a little too far IMO.
She also never forgets the victim, who sometimes gets lost in the shuffle, and for that I do admire her.
Anyhow, she has a replacement tonight if you happen to be watching.
Well, this would become regular open angle glaucoma if it progresses to that which
it certainly may. I am not fond of thinking of using eyedrops with all their side effects.
