Aura Gael Oh no, I'm sorry that you have bad lungs. I can't stand all the spraying that goes on. People spraying their lawns and then this mosquito stuff today. I'd rather be bitten by a 'skeeter thank you very much. The yard where he was spraying too is one that the...

What happens when you breakfast without Cheerios? I was wondering about that. So, today I went without my bowl of Cheerios and sliced bananas. Little did I realize the impact this would have on life as I must live it for the...

How did your grand parents make their living? Did they have careers? Were they city people or country people? I thought of this while looking at the cattle pictures online yesterday. Today's picture is of a Hereford cow . They...

Aura Gael This is really interesting. I want to know more. lol I'm from the suburbs outside of Philly, which is one thing here that caught my attention. But also I'm very curious how your parents finally met being from very different parts of the country.

Aura Gael @Drosophila for the purposes that @NJChicaa mentioned so you don't have to shred it yourself. I would just rather do it myself though if I'm going to do it at all. I can see those pieces browning and going bad faster than an intact head.

I love to hear about people's pets. I used to be a pet sitter and dog walker. But I've also had some pets of my own. I have a cat right now. He's been with us for a little over 10 years. I found him while on the job, pet sitting...

Aura Gael Yeah, it's stressful for them when you're not there a lot. I used to stay with dogs when their humans would be out of town. But that's expensive and if you're always never home, I agree, it's not fair.

Aura Gael @celticeagle Well the fan was Jessa Lyn's idea. Can't take credit for that. . I actually have a fan option on my window unit air conditioner and use that a lot. My room turns into a sensory deprivation chamber.

Aura Gael Aw thanks. He really is a pretty cat. I think he's part Maine Coon, but I'm not sure. Sorry you can't have pets anymore, but it's good you get to enjoy other people's pets. I wish we could have a dog, but will have to wait a bit for that.
