Rearranging my living room

scorpiobabes @scorpiobabes (7225) • United States 1 May 13

I think I won a chair last week at the auction, and if I did, I need to find room in my living room. My boyfriend agreed to sell the big screen TV since it uses a lot of electricity and it takes up a lot of real estate in here....

Loverbear Good for you for getting rid of the big screen T.V.!!! I bought a flat screen a few months ago and LOVE it and especially love the fact that it is easier on electricity. I still have four of the older televisions that I plan to eliminate one at a time as...

I Think I Know Why Flojo Is Terrified Of Boxes

Janey1966 @Janey1966 (24170) • Carlisle, England 29 Apr 13

When we picked up my computer chair from next door it came in a massive box, as it was stored upright due to it being fully assembled. Anyway, as soon as Flojo saw this box she was absolutely TERRIFIED of it, to the point where...

Loverbear It sounds like Flojo was abused with a box. If the people that had her had children they could have forced her into a box and closed it so the cat couldn't escape. It also could be that they threw boxes at her, or turned her in to the humane society in a...

Strange Place For The Cat To Be Sitting At 3 AM. LOL

danishcanadian @danishcanadian (28955) • Canada 29 Apr 13

A funny thing happened the other night. I was asleep, and Hubby got up to use the bathroom. He wandered into the bathroom, sat down on the toilet, and screamed. LOL Seems the CAT had decided to take that exact moment to jump up on...

Loverbear Ahhh, the memories you have brought back to me!!! When I was living in Montana I had a cat that would crawl down into the toilet bowl to get his drink of fresh spring water that came swirling out of the tank...unfortunately he would get showers when I would go...

Bad breathe?

911Ricki @911Ricki (13588) • Canada 21 Apr 13

My Mom's one cat has had bad breathe for years, my parents did nothing about it. Most time it's a sign of either stomach issues, or teeth. My SIL came over and looked at his teeth, his gums were so badly infected. He was...

Loverbear It is totally amazing that the cat is still alive. Teeth and gums are the gateway to carrying bacteria and germs into the system. My Mom died because of the fact that her gums had separated from her teeth and bacteria passed through the gaps and caused...

Loverbear I usually wait until the stuff is 75% off or better. I got two pairs of isotoner gloves for $3.50 each...they were originally $38! I had a pair for winter driving and I loaned them to my eldest granddaughter who wore them to play in the mud!...

Whooping your child in public

Imani46 @Imani46 (32) 5 Apr 13

Is whooping your child in public okay. I have seen people whoop their kids in public a few times. I was in church on Easter and a woman whooped her kid in the bathroom. The church is not big and every one could hear the kid crying...

Loverbear Spanking a child is never okay...it teaches them that it is okay to hit! Not only that but it sure isn't okay or prudent to punish the child in public...even if it is in the bathroom. The church is a area that is to be respected for the sanctity of the worship...

Kitten and the litterbox

courtknee525 @courtknee525 (3742) • United States 30 Mar 13

My little kitten is great about using his litterbox and he knows exactly where to go. Every once in a while I notice that when he comes out he has a bit of poo on his back foot. One time I watched him when it happened and he gets...

Loverbear It really isn't anything to be worried about, he is still growing and like all creatures that are still growing, he is a bit clumsy. As he gets a bit older he won't be as apt to step in the poo while he is burying it. I had a similar problem with Willy when he...
