Our cat loves feathers and plastic bags - sm

she licks the bags though (grocery bags/Wal-mart that type), weirdest thing, she does the same with feathers, like she is grooming it I guess. She loves to lay on paper too, no clue why. I don't get her too many toys as she does not really play with store bought toys, though loves those feather stick things. Have some of those toy mice but they end up disappearing. Likes the kids toy tents, boxes she can jump in, hiding under the coffee table that has a table cloth that completely covers it to the floor, likes to hid under anything and try and snag your ankle with a paw, definitely startles me sometimes. Loves her scratching post which is actual wood, not carpet, the only thing she scratches other than an exercise pad we put over a brick pad in our kitchen for a wood stove (so if the kids ever fell when they were little they would not hit the brick with their head at least), it is thick and squishy and the cat loves to knead it, makes a mess though if she does it too much. Will have to try the bread tie thing, bet she'd love that. She spends hours looking out the front window at the bird feeder and our hummingbird feeder too, and all the squirrels too. You can see the wheels turning when she is watching the birds and squirrels outside. Sleeps at my feet on the bed either in her cat bed if a cold night or just on top of the comforter. I call her a cat-dog as she has many dog characteristics which makes her the perfect cat to me (I am more of a dog person, but like cats too).

When you fuse plastic grocery bags.
You have to be sure you are in an ventilated area because it has toxic fumes. I did mine outside because I have a plug in on the side of my house. You cannot get anymore ventilated that that. lol. I set my iron on 3 which is a medium setting, no steam and sandwich 1 bag folded twice (you need 8 layers) in between 2 pieces of regular typing/print paper. As I am ironing I just count to 20 or you can use a timer lol and then flip it over and iron the other side and count to 20. When you peal the paper off you will find that the plastic bag is stiff like paper and seems to be very durable. I cannot tear the things and I have tried. To me, it is the perfect liner for a car trash bag or even a bathroom trash bag. If one must use a plastic garbage bag for the kitchen (some garbage companies won't allow anything else but plastic bags) then maybe we can at least eliminate the amount we use.
mine LOVES coconut lime verbena from BABW. LOVES it
it's the smell -- just smells "clean" plus i think it reminds him of me ... weirdly, even my teen sons say it smells nice and clean and they like it too! smells bring about different calms in people... no way should you worry.
did not mean to ruffle your feathers...sm
The moderator or administrator is sure to remove this entire thread because it is MT/work related is all I was saying - nothing about your post. Sorry to have rattled your feathers....
When they put up the Gab board, they explicity said we can discuss anything but that, religion, and politics.....we could discuss this on the Main board though....
Have a nice evening....
Our cat likes to lick anything with feathers and - sm
plastic bags (like the supermarket kind), guess is it some weird maternal instinct thing. Our lab will eat flowers on command, kids taught her to eat the dandilions in the yard, too weird.
So that's why I find feathers in my front yard sm
on occasion, and yes, they are dove feathers. Always thought it was cats. My son liked to let his chihuahua run loose but not not any more since a hawk nearly scooped him up one night. He got rid of that cute little white sweater that made him look like a skunk. Now he only goes out on a chain at night.
or maybe it is "mating" season and he has his feathers in an uproar..lol

Apache sounds like it's adorned with a headdress and feathers! nm

bags
I have used cucumbers many times which works. Also I have heard that preparation H works as well but have never tried it, but it stands to reason that it would work. I use a lighter concealer under my eyes than my foundation shade which brightens up the area. I use Avon's Anew eye products and they are wonderful, and usually frequently on sale, as they are a little pricey, but worth it.
bags
Forgot to say that cucumbers, the same as preparation H do shrink puffiness, but I had a makeup tip once in a Victoria's Secret makeover to use just the slightest amount on the corner of the eye, an irridescent (which is light-reflectant) CREAM eye shadow which is moist, not powder which is caking and drying, like near-white, near-pink near-silver, etc. Use it very sparingly; just a dot in the corner or just below the corner. It brightens the corner of the eye. It really is a pretty look and brightens the dark look and the corner. The trick is to use it sparingly so it is not obvious.
Ziplock bags!
Ziplock bags for all liquid items (shampoo, perfume, makeup). Rolling clothes helps stop wrinkling. Here are some helpful sites.

Same here bags for adults
And paper for my children (even though my older one hasn't believed in Santa Claus for a few years).
paper or bags
It's paper for me all the way - I love to wrap and make bows, etc. My sister does bags, hates to wrap. To each his own.
You know you can make your own bags
pretty easy and cheap using different boxes as templates, detergent boxes, etc. Did it with my Girl Scout troup. That way you can use paper you like.
Bags under eyes
I am developing huge bags under my eyes and always, always look exhausted. Nothing wrong found at the doctor other than my never ending battle with depression. Photos taken at a wedding this weekend show my eyes to be especially dark at the outside corners-I always look like I've been crying.
Any tried and true remedies to help reduce the puffiness and darkness? I have sensitive, pale skin by the way.
My cat has a plastic
and Q-tip fetish. Even though I try my hardest to keep these things away from him, because he eats them, he still manages to find them. It's like he has radar or something. He also likes to lay in the bathroom sink. His name is also weird, so I guess it fits him. But I love him anyways.
I like to use gift bags for the adults
and wrapping paper for kids. I know there is a lot of wasted paper when you wrap, but something about watching a child rip into a package is so fun.
Zip lock bags and tie a ribbon around them- sm
this way they stay fresh.
Works for garbage bags too
If you have 2 or more kids who have to take turns taking out the garbage, assign each a garbage color - you can get them in white, yellow, green and blue that I know of. When the blue kid takes out the garbage, s/he puts in the yellow bag, or whoever's turn it is next. Believe me, they don't forget to change the bags.
Bags/dark circles
Eyederma will definitely get rid of the dark circles, but it is expensive and it also dried under my eyes and made the wrinkles more noticeable. I tried Borba eye rejuvenator and love it. It definitely shrinks the bags and gets rid of the dark circles. I got mine from QVC, but if you Google Borba, they also have their own website. Hope this helps.
I started getting bags under my eyes in my 20's. SM
It kept getting worse. People would ask me what's wrong with my eyes. I finally had plastic surgery and it was the best thing I ever did.
It was the only thing that worked. This is only to be used as a last resort, but the results were amazing.
Gift Bags or Wrapping Paper?
I love the Christmas gift bags you can buy at the various dollar stores. SO much easier than boxes and wrapping. They are pretty and very inexpensive. I have seen similar bags at Target for much more. I LOVE cheching out the different Dollar stores. I like Big Lots too. Great deals. Tissue paper and gift bags for me. How about you?
I was on my way to being a plastic junkie
with this being 1 of several. I am really glad for mine, I do not care for my belly to extend down past my knees.. and I have had 2 face lifts, breast reduction, hmmm think that about does it but never ever sorry I had the tummy. More exercise and less sedentary work would take care of the rest of the weight, can do something about the exercise but the work? I would think most who have had the stomach done would totally agree with me. Sorry your friends did not work out but that is just what you do when you toss the coin with elective plastic surgery.
Me, too. My plastic plants die. nm

You could see a plastic surgeon. Don't think it would be too

plastic popcorn
Hayseed, you are too funny! I totally forgot about those until seeing it here - used to have a tree, snowman, etc. Don't know what ever happened to them. Probably in my "want to impress" years threw them away. Thank heavens we all mature and get out of that stage - I'm much happier being the real me, corny stuff and all. I have a couple of friends who seem to have more money than Bill Gates and they are into frugal retro as well. Merry Christmas and happy popcorn hunting!!
this kitty has a plastic bag and Q-tip
obsession. He eats plastic bags (I know it's not good for him). No matter how hard I try to keep them away from him, he finds them. It's like he has radar. Luckily we haven't had any clogs in his system from it. As for the Q-tips. He digs those out of the bathroom trash and carries them around (gross I know) and them ultimately drowns them in his water bowl. He's somewhat of a freak too.
Holiday plates, tissues, ribbons, and bags

I am lazy and not a good cook, but I buy those roast bags sm
in with the seasoning packets. It comes with seasoning and the bag for about $2 usually. I buy whatever cut is on sale, put it in the bag with the seasoning, straight to the hot oven and add veggies in a few hours. Always, always tender and falling apart no matter what cut. I have tried the crockpot too, but mine is never good and tender that way.
cool wet tea bags are good for burns & blisters nm

I heard this from a plastic surgeon also,
that they don't use peroxide much anymore. In certain cases they will use it to clean out a cyst cavity, but they mix it with saline in equal proportions.
I remember those plastic decorations
being sold as fundraisers at our school. I think it was the Band Boosters. I'm in East Central Indiana, BTW.
Beatles. Paper or plastic?

Plastic. Shrek or the Three Stooges LOL.

You could put a plastic or aluminum "collar" around the -
trunk of the tree, maybe at about your chest-height. (So the cat can't jump over it.) He'd have to climb up to it, but if it's fairly wide, maybe 1-1/2 to 2 feet, he won't be able to get a grip on it and won't be able to climb any further. It won't hurt the tree, and you can then remove and store it once the babies have left the nest.

Plastic Cap to a Lysol Spray Can up the....
Yes indeedy, most amusing one I ever typed. I cannot imagine how or why one would insert the plastic cap to a can of Lysol spray up the rectum.
All kinds of possible scenarios came to mind, and I kept myself amused all through my shift contemplating them!
Natural remedies...tea bags, cucumbers, potato slices....
I used to use cucumbers, but any of these will work....check out these web sites for more info, too....

OFF spray for cats; also use mothballs in plastic baggie with sm
holes poked in the baggie with a fork. works for me!
I found them! Those funky 1970s plastic decorations
It was driving me absolutely nuts and I finally found out what they are called! Google or do a search on E-Bay for 'Melted plastic popcorn decorations' and see what you find! I'm gonna try and make a bid for one or two because after seeing that one in 'MT of Oz' picture there, I suddenly felt this NEED to have one again!
Thanks for reviving happy memories MT of Oz!! 
it is hard plastic, good suggestion, will give it a try, NM

Nope, insurance never covered any of my plastic surgeries but
I still had them- several- just like I would finance this also. This is definitely considered cosmetic unless used for the original eye problem it was intended for.
My husband works for Frito-Lay and they gave us little 25 cent bags of chips to give away...
Although we also buy a bag of candy to give for the ones who won't like chips...
The best thing for dirty diapers - mini diaper bags at the dollar store that sm
smell like powder. You get 50 to a bag - they are little blue plastic bags. Tie the poopie up tight in the bag and VOILA! throw it in your trash and no smell!
make sure you use a "metal" lice comb, not a plastic one as they don't work well. nm

They make paint for everything now...from metal to even outdoor plastic furniture...I am sure there

Chili peppers and little tiny plastic pinball toys.

My chiropractor said his plastic surgeon friends are losing their practices.
At least here in C.FL, plastic surgery is tanking!
Oh, and he SAYS he loves her dog.
Muslims aren't supposed to have dog saliva touch them. Curiously, he LOVES the dog but I have seen him raise his LEG to the dog and the dog cower. Psycho wacko freak job.
My dad has one. He loves it and so
do I. Just couldn't afford one myself.
