Orea15 Please don't worry about your English. You are doing very well. We all hate making mistakes. I think that is part of being human. I would never have guessed you were Chinese. But I never mind when someone is trying their best, if they make a mistake. No...

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85146) • Shingle Springs, California 10 Aug 12

My stupid cat, Tiger, has a pooing issue. He gets in the litter box, starts to poo, runs out of there like he's scared or in pain, leaving little poo trails behind him. Occasionally, he also just goes somewhere and poos. The vet...

Orea15 Here is an idea that works. I use it daily for one of my kitties who nearly died from constipation. I got this straight from one of my vets: Miralax! Or the generic. The dosage for cats is 1/8 teaspoon a day. It's odorless and tasteless, so there is nothing to...

I'm not looking - well, not too much - for a solution to my current problem, so much as trying to understand the roomie's reaction. I have a stomach ache today, actually nearly as bad as the one I had before they yanked the...

Orea15 Do you still have your appendix? A belly ache and nausea are a couple of symptoms of that. If in doubt, look it up online, because the symptoms are sneaky and not necessarily what you think they are. I was fooled. As for feeding, some people have funny...

Orea15 The two responses I thought of immediately were, "Why?" and "I wish you weren't." No, I'm not very nice, am I. LOL But to use Dr. House's word, he sounds like a moron. I've never met him and he's irritating the heck out of me!

Orea15 Did you know our brains have a special pleasure center that activates when we think thoughts of revenge? Yeah, it's hard-wired in us. That explains a lot, doesn't it. I'm working more on forgiveness and loving, these days. They give pleasure, too.

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85146) • Shingle Springs, California 9 Mar 11

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85146) • Shingle Springs, California 20 Oct 10

Sorry guys, we're not talking about boobies here. I have a tendency to tone things down. I'm "fine" instead of "good" or "good" instead of "great". Things are just OK. Flat tone of voice, don't show any excitement. You might...

Orea15 I'm with you on this. They say flat emotions are a sign of depression. Or is it more shyness in your case?
