goodgramma My son had a ferret and we had 2 kittens at the same time. They got along just great! They played together all the time. I don't know if it makes a difference that all 3 animals were very young but they grew up together and it sure was fun to watch them play!

Should i smack/spank my son for bad behaviour??

trippyteresa @trippyteresa (87) 27 Feb 07

I have an 11 yr old son, over the last 12 months his behaviour has become increasingly defiant, he blatently ignores my wishes continuously, which often gets me cross, when i show signs of anger and frustration he smiles... man...

goodgramma I don't think that spanking will hurt anything. Especially if you haven't done it for a while, it may just shock him into rethinking his behavior. My children are grown now and they tell me that they remember the few times that I spanked them. I was...

goodgramma Sometimes it's like a weird germ or something that grows on feet and really smells bad. There is a cure however, so read on! Wash your feet thoroughly with a deodorant soap and dry well before putting socks on again. Buy a spray can of anti-bacterial stuff...

goodgramma Sometimes it's caused by aging other times by a medication we're taking. I was having that problem and I finally narrowed it down to a medication that I was taking. The medication I am taking is a "beta-blocker", in this case its Atenolol, which I take for...

goodgramma You can't do that--only God can. We are all given free choice here on earth and people have to make their own decisions. Besides, there is nothing I hate worse than someone trying to "convert" people at gatherings, etc. I attended an open house for a new...

Will Al Gore run?

soccermom @soccermom (3198) • United States 27 Feb 07

It seems that maybe Al Gore is positioning himself to make a run for the White House. He's just won an academy award, is a Nobel prize nominee, has the experience and the money to do it. It appears all the cards would be in his...

6 responses

goodgramma I think he's going to run. Especially now that he's won that award, he acts like he thinks that people really like him and he would have a good chance to win. I sure wouldn't vote for him though, he's turning into a joke! I wouldn't want global warming to...

goodgramma I have a 2-year-old cat that was terribly abused by a small child. She growls every time you pick her up or even pet her. She rarely bites or scratches anyone (read on for that part!) but I think she thinks that we're going to hurt her like the child did that...

goodgramma Try looking at your library in the city directory (if you are in the US). Sometimes people forget when they give out the information to the directory people. In any case, you may be able to get his address from there which may be better because you could write...

craft projects using upholstery samples

Rozandtom @Rozandtom (1) • United States 17 Feb 07

I have been blessed with a large quantity of upholstery swatches in various sizes and would love some really creative suggestions for things to make from it. I would like to sell the items for fundraising to help build an...

1 response

goodgramma If the swatches aren't rubber-backed, you could make some really neat pillows out of them. Since a lot of upholstery material is rubber-backed, it makes them hard to sew on a regular sewing machine and I would assume that you wouldn't want to invest big bucks...

1 response

goodgramma Just try sanding them down and putting a darker stain on them. Or if you'd like to make them look antique, distress them (5-year-old boys are great at this!) and then stain them gradually darker towards the edges of the drawers/doors and in the dents made by...

Photographing Stationary

goodgramma Make sure that there is enough light--very important for digital cameras--and get it as clear as you can (lack of light makes digital pics blurry). Then use a photo manipulation program to make the focus even better. It's not as good as using a scanner, but if...

goodgramma Things to try: 1. Phone books--old and new. Libraries have copies of old phone books. Look in the city that you know she was last located. 2. City directories--old and new. Again, libraries have them. When you find her name in any of these books, pay...

AVGfree vs Avast

trinihd @trinihd (996) • United States 21 Feb 07

Do you have "experience" using one or both (free of course!)? If both, which would you say is better? If only one, tell me how satisfied you are with it. I have had a recommendation to use Avast, but quite frankly I am too lazy to...

goodgramma I've used AVG for several years and love it! It does all the stuff that the paid antivirus programs do. It runs in the background and I never notice that it's working until it finds a virus or worm. It is one of the programs recommended by Kim Komando...
