Do any of you cat lovers have info/ideas about allergy to cats? I absolutely love them but immediately start itching then wheezing when I get close to one. This year my daughter started feeding a stray cat. A few months later the cat started "talking" to her, and shortly thereafter led 3 little kittens up to her. Forward 7 or so months to our freezing winter and 3 more darling kittens. She set them up in a spare bedroom, but of course they are beginning to trapse out and about (4 weeks old). They are adorable. The 2 grandsons of course are carrying them all over the house and bringing them to show grandma how cute they are. So far Benadryl and a lot of CPAP is keeping me breathing. An allergist told me years ago that taking "shots" did not help with continuous exposure. In another 3 months or less, hopefully, the weather will be where they can safely be set up outside. Also my daughter has promised they will all go to the vet and the momma will be spaded, and whatever else needs to be done for them. But 8 cats!! and they are all adorable. Help!! Thank you ever so much for any advice/input/experience you have.

You are soooo not alone! sm
I've lived through this, and this year was no great shakes, though not because of presents. We don't make a big deal out of presents at Christmas -- a few nice presents for the kids (teenagers), and DH and I don't actually exchange gifts, but we do go and spend time together one night during the holiday season, usually dinner at a local spot we like. I'm very happy with that arrangement. If I want something for myself, I can buy it when I want it, so it's the time together that I value the most.
Unfortunately, I had a horrible Christmas this year, but it was because I felt completely unappreciated. I spent weeks preparing things, all the usual traditions that we do in our house, decorating, cookies, entertaining, all that sort of thing. I like doing it, but it's a lot of work. Christmas Eve came, and we went to church. After church, I asked to go for a drive to look at lights. DH made a fuss over it, and I made a fuss back, saying that it was one thing that I enjoy, and given all that I do, it sure would be nice if he'd kick in and do something *I* like to do just this one night. He then insisted that the boys had to go, too, because, "If I have to do it, then they have to do it, too." You'd think I had asked him to clean toilets or something! I didn't really care if the boys came. they are 16, 17 and 18 years old. I didn't expect that to be their idea of fun. But they were forced to go and we piled into the van. We started down the street, and they were all heckling and making rude comments. We only drove for 15 minutes when I told DH to go home. I had enough. It was no fun, and DH was goading the boys on. It certainly wasn't any fun for me. They stopped laughing and talking at that point. When we got home, I lined them all up and recounted everything I do for them, told them that they were ungrateful little so-and-so's for not at least trying to tolerate something that interests me, and since I was the one who shops for all of them, and I'm the one who knows where their presents are hidden, they were stuck for Christmas until I darn well felt in the Christmas spirit again. I went up to my room, stuck my iPod in my ears and went to sleep. By 10:30 the next morning, still no present opening. I didn't feel like it. I had another conversation with them about how unappreciated I felt, that they don't even bother to say "Thanks, mom. Dinner was delicious," when I make them dinners every night. "Ever wonder where your clean underwear comes from? There's no maid in this house!"
It wasn't a pleasant Christmas morning, but men never seem to understand what we want -- to be appreciated. And most of us aren't brought up to bang our own drum, but you know what? I'm no saint. I can't give and give and give just for the sake of being a "good" wife and mother. I'm not a doormat. Men have to be told that once in a while, just once in a while, they need to say thank you, make the females in their lives the center of attention, and not be so stinking selfish. It took a while, because they thought I was mad because they made a fuss about going to see Christmas lights. I really had to work at getting them to see that I was mad because they couldn't do this ONE little thing that I like to do, and that they get a darn lot of good things in life because I orchestrate it for them. They need to realize that all of that doesn't come from fairy dust and wishing. MOM does it. Once in a while, be nice.
OK, so how the story ended . . . I didn't make them dinner on Christmas. (Luckily, no company for us.) They made themselves bacon and eggs. I wasn't hungry and I told them I was going to take care of myself. Today, 12/26, is my birthday. One son made me breakfast this a.m. They all said they were sorry, and DH told me this morning that he was sorry for setting a bad example for them on Christmas Eve and making the boys go. He also gave me a very nice birthday present.
I am soooo glad. Even with her gone
I still don't plan on watching it. When they brought on Rosie, I saw a side of Barbara and Elizabeth that I don't like. I never cared for Joy so guess the show just isn't for me!!! I liked Meredith and Star. The original group made for some interesting, intelligent conversations. Don't need any more crap TV.
bye bye Rosie
Soooo sorry for your loss
 (((Hugs)))
That is soooo true.
Sometimes I post under Me, but it is I, Misha with the dirty-nose dog. And you're right, you have to snap the picture quick because the dirt falls off their Teflon-like fur.
In the first picture of your dog I have a strange urge to start tufting her. In the next picture she's all brushed out - whew. It's hard to control that urge to pluck loose tufts.
Soooo true! LOL! nm

Soooo happy! sm
As the Tacoma newspaper headline read, Phinally! Wish I could skip work and go to the parade...just like when I skipped school in 1980 for that parade.
Soooo....I'm getting braces...please sm
Does anyone have any advice for taking care of braces that the dentist doesn't tell you? What to expect while getting them on, how to take care of them afterward, etc. I've never had to deal with braces before...no kids. And I'm not sure what to expect. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks
This sounds soooo good - sm
do you get this out or you make it yourself? If you make it yourself, how?
I am soooo glad I grew up when I did
This comes from an older voice but I had a close friend in high school. I used to visit in her home and had no idea that this girl only owned 1 blouse. She told me years later how poor she was and she washed that 1 blouse out every night and wore to school the next day = this was in high school. I still have this friend to this day, 40 something years later and so glad I was not so superficial as to just like someone for what they had or did not have.
I would fight you for that! He is soooo sexy....nm
nm
awwww....soooo sweet! Look
at those beautiful, loving eyes. I love animals and all 7 of ours are my children!
I SOOOO agree with you. You are spot on. nm.

I am soooo decorating challenged and need help. I want to put some color
on my bedrom walls, I'm thinking a light sage color. If I paint the walls the sage color, does the ceiling get painted the same or an off/white? If I paint the ceiling the same color as the walls wont the room feel much smaller and "cave" like? I have comforter with olive, sage, dark brown colors. Average size room with windows on 2 walls so there will be light coming in.
Thanks for your ideas.
Soooo let's talk casinos and gambling
I had lunch today with my women's golf group at a buffet inside one of the local casinos. I was astounded to see how many people were in there, gambling away, mid-day, mid-week. I must admit, I've never been in a casino before this afternoon, so I am totally in the dark as to what the appeal is.
Any of you here enjoy the games, the gambling, the atmosphere (at least it wasn't smoky!)? What's the draw, cuz I sure don't get it?
Oh my gosh.. I agree he was soooo terrible! Sanjaya here we go again. nm

I soooo love Friday Night Lights, except sm
they are actucally putting it on Friday Nite. I am afraid that many people that watch this show actucally go to Friday nite hight school football. My hubby and son always go see our high school team play. I just don't want them to have low ratings and get dropped.
AW he is soooo cute. We just adopted Chip last week - sm
He is what the shelter called a beagle mix, but if he is mixed with anything I will eat my hat... Okay I do not have a hat, but I would be surprised...LOL.
Here is a pic of him..

I hope your transition is as easy as ours was. We have 2 other rescue doggies, both lab mixes and female and the three of them were fast friends. Of course we have no diningroom left with 3 creats in it, but who cares...
FEELINGS. . . SOOOO sick of that stupid thing! NM
xx
Soooo cute! I have a lab/great dane mix... scary to some 'cause he is so big. But he is a big wus
Are those mini-pins! A while ago I was running with Walter (my dog) and we came across a lady with 2 mini-pins. Walter wants to meet everyone and the lady said they were friendly so we let them sniff, but all of a sudden they were all over Walter with little tiny flashing teeth. Walter yiped like a little baby and skulked away and the lady said "oh my they never do that." Why do they always say that, like it is my big dog's fault?
Well anyway, just this weekend I saw the mini pins in her car at the market when by coincidence I parked next to it. When I opened my door they were up on the dash and leaping at the crack in the window and snarling and barking at me. I know they could not get to me but I cringed and hustled away. They looked really scary! I swear I felt like they could jump up on me and grab on something like my ears or something and not let go.
But I am sure they are sweet... NOT! But it goes to show you never know... they are all animals, after all. And like people all have very distinct personalities, very much formed by their family (the people family, I mean). I could tell the owner of the mini pins was kind of a ---- well you know, not that nice... she left them in the hot car, after all... and they were pretty much a product of their upbringing.
I too actually think pits have some of the sweetest dispositions I have ever met in a dog.
You're so funny!!! That's what I wanted - funny redneck stories
Just kinda tired of my house looking like Sanford and Son - LOL!
That is too funny... I'm sure it wasn't funny at the time.

Funny looking Bob with the funny looking wife
Thats funny!! Thanx

too funny !!!
It's funny that you say this...
about "sounding rude". I wonder how much time your in laws and family members actually put into their decision before asking you to care for their mother? I wonder if it has even occurred to them that they are being rude to even consider asking this of you when there are professionals who can do this and should do this for their mother?
Believe me, you have no idea how much of yourself you actually lose when thrown into a situation that's convenient for everyone else. Believe me, everyone else has figured out how to say "no" by passing the responsibility on to you so that they can continue their lives without being inconvenienced.
However, you're right in being polite; however, you can still say "no" and not be rude. Don't feel guilty either for not playing the martyr.
This is so funny!!! LOL!!
I have an 18-year-old son who LOVES to be on the computer doing the instant message thing. He knows all the lingo, codes, blah blah blah. Well, he is not used to the Short Hand being on on my computer, but sometimes he uses my computer when I am not working. Can you see where I am going with this?
Anyway, he (and probably a dozen other of his buddies) were instant messaging each other on line. So my son needs to go do something and he just typed BRB for "be right back." He jumped up and did not see this expand to BRIGHT RED BLOOD.
LOLOL. Frantically, word travelled through cyberspace that something must have happened because he just typed in bright red blood and left. When he finally went back to his screen he had all these worried messages...are you all right? what happened??? are you alive???
I got the best laugh out of that! He had to explain to everyone who had "heard" just what had happened and now he is much more careful.
How funny - if he
had put that in on my computer it would be "bright red blood per rectum" Not a great idea!
Oh, that's funny!
That must be the game system that I have heard talked about and someone laughingly said that this game would actually give you carpal tunnel, pulled muscles, etc.

Funny...

How funny!
Gave me a good laugh, which I needed! Thanks.
Funny too how you can think that you like
they have made here, and then all of the sudden realize they are not as nice as they seem by other posts that they make.
funny
Born and bred Texas, but never heard that before - i'm trying to figure out if it could be a compliment ???
This is funny because.....
I grew up with these sayings and use these all the time in my everyday talking without thinking about it. Hubby comes to me all the time when things he hears at work asking me what does this mean, such as "buying a pig in a poke", "don’t look a gift horse in the mouth", "leaving someone high and dry", so many, so little time.....I throw these around because where I came from everyone knows what they mean and we think nothing about using them. Bless his little short self he doesn’t know and I laugh when he tells me to speak "English."
LOL! Too funny . . .
When I told my son (after a couple of years of him questioning it because peers had already told him), he said, "The thing that made it most believable is that we never have a lot of money, but there is always so much cool stuff on Christmas morning!"
Too funny! >^..^<
My funny
One of my ESL doctors said the patient's lower extremities have disappeared. LOL.
That is too funny!
that was funny!...nm
nm
and that would be me...*how funny*....s/m
 And I'm a woman of my word - I never steer people wrong, rarely give unsolicited advice, and let me state it was fun emailing with you today!! *giggling*......Nice to put the people with their posts...*lol* I never put a name in but you know my name as I do yours now.
*too funny* 
Have a GREAT evening :)
OMG! That's too funny!
She's so adorable though I think I can overlook it!
Funny you should say that (sm)
We were watching the news while eating breakfast this morning and they had bad reviews of Premonition, and I told DH, "Well if they don't like it, I'll probably love it". That's what usually happens.
That is too funny, and just to think my
hubby told me just today he had to give colas up, hmmm..
Funny, my mom too!
And I have used everything else you can think of, now 40-something, and my skin looks like crap :( Gonna get me some of that miracle potion too!
That's so funny! sm
The strange thing is, I've seen adult birds (I don't know what kind, but they aren't very big - not crows or anything) harrass the cats far more than the other way around. The birds will dive-bomb the cats if they dare to walk out in the open, and the cats just duck their head down and run to get away.
I've always wondered why the cats put up with it, why they don't just stand their ground and swat at the bird. I think the birds must be protecting a nest to be this bold. I've seen them dive-bomb our dogs too. It seems there is always one bird who will "stand watch" and become very vocal if anyone (us, dogs, cats) go into the yard. I halfway expect them to dive-bomb me one of these days. They aren't foolin' around!
that's really FUNNY!!! ..........s/m
I don't know how that would happen...unless Diana is *padding* her age.
All I can say is I was at the Brooklyn Fox Theater with my older sister MANY times standing outside waiting to see shows with Little Anthony and the Imperials, Otis Redding, Martha and the Vandellas, Smoky Robinson and the Miracles, the Shirelles, and many many other groups when I was 12. I also saw similar groups at the Apollo Theater in Harlem when my school took us all there when I was 16, was the last time I/we ever saw Otis Redding unfortunately. The Tymes and the Shirelles came to my high school for the graduation/prom events to perform.
Diana Ross and the Supremes...I cannot remember if they were there at the Brooklyn Fox theater....they were not at the Apollo when I was there, but I loved the Supremes songs...I was such a Motown person, still love that era of music/songs.
fun reminiscing.....
lol, funny!

seems funny to me....
Jay Leno is one to make fun. He looks like the moon face on the old Mac tonight McDonald commercials.
LOL that is so funny- I used to think
that all cats were girls and all dogs were boys and that they would get married (yes, married) and have mixed litters of both. I can't remember where I got that idea, though.
You funny.
Not freaky.
How funny!
I found him creepy when he was younger and grinned too much, but now I find him cute.
But Brad Pitt annoys me because of the characters he's played (so immature). And for the longest time I saw him as a Robert Redford clone, physically. How is it they never played father and son?
How funny
I don't purposely watch cooking shows, but some channel has a cooking guy that comes on and annoys me to death. His voice is higher than mine; he sounds like Mickey Mouse.
