CommandaManda Mine are in terrible shape. I'm using my beach towels now, because my washer literally *shredded* the ones I bought last year. Can anyone recommend the best, most durable towels? I really need them to stand up to some punishment without unravelling!

We have been having periods of heavy rain during the last few days. My living room had a creek flowing down the middle from flooding and I am running fans to try to dry it up. The rain is beautiful but the result of the rain is...

CommandaManda Right there with you! I'm in Florida too, and my street was like a lake today. When we get prolonged rains we get damp carpeting around the outside walls when the foundation gets completely wet. It happened a couple of times, but we got lucky and the rain...

CommandaManda Andria, I was considering mowing my grass at about 3am! LOL, I have a hand mower that is virtually silent, but I'm still afraid that my neighbors will think I;m crazy if I go out there after dark to do it. There is probably enough light due to a few...

CommandaManda Hi, Carol. have you checked Brendel to see her hydration level? Very often when cats a re sick for long periods of time, they can get dehydrated, and this often causes the "long stare" syndrome. Lack of the nutrients they need to think (including oxygen...

Booing the Big Bang

eileenleyva @eileenleyva (27560) • Philippines 2 Mar 19

Our default program, when tired from the daily grind, is Sheldon's schematics in the Big Bang Theory. Of course, the flat screen runs on till the show comes to end, and we would be snoring till morning. I remember though, an...

CommandaManda I really like this guy. His name is Michio Kaku, and he's very humble about his approach to God, (not so much about String Theory). I have to agree with him, that God is a creator, and that he created an amazingly beautiful universe. But as for his belief that...

Gizmo Like to Play In the Mud.

J.P. Randolph @jprtist (656) • Pueblo, Colorado 22 Feb 19

My Pup, Gizmo, aka Mojoe, Mocipher, Fuzzy Monster, Moe... the list goes on. Likes to dig in the mud. The nice thing is, the dirt falls off when he's dry. (he still needs a trim and a bath today)

CommandaManda Hi, Tee! Glad to see another Pitty owner here! I had a similar situation: My husband was adamant about getting a dog. He'd been looking on Craiglist for months, always asking me to look at dogs, asking me if one or the other looked nice. I never agreed with...

CommandaManda Hi! So glad you've got some advice here. Even older cats can get finicky sometimes, if the box isn't as clean as they'd like. Plus, I think you're aware or am I mistaken, that your cat has Maine Coon lines? Maine Coons are the strangest cats I've ever had,...
