My ferret Seva has a new playtoy, or does the kitty actually have a new playtoy?

saralee1 @saralee1 (1983) • United States 24 Apr 07

I just adopted a kitten, naming it"boots" because of it's white paws, (deleted it's old name tucks for obvious reasons) they seem to get along fine "Now" but what can I expect in the future? anyone own a cat, and ferret?

mygreyparrot Cats and ferrets normally get along great! Especially since you got him at a young age. I had a friend who let her 12 ferrets roam free in her house with her 3 cats. Nothing bad ever happened to the ferrets, or the cats. I would definately supervise them when...

Does fleas make my dog span of life shorter?

sis_syuku @sis_syuku (165) • Indonesia 23 Apr 07

I wonder if anyone know about it. Cause whenever I clean my dog from fleas, it keep coming back.

mygreyparrot Fleas are very bad for your dog. They can, and will, kill a dog. Not to mention it is miserable to live with fleas. You should put some Advantage or Advantix on your dog. You definately don't want fleas in your home either.

mygreyparrot I always cry when one of my pets dies. They are my family members. I lost my dog of 18 years almost 3 yrs ago and I still tear up about him. I've lost several pets - and I cried every time and always will. I get very attached to them, and no way could I act...

What you like most about your DOG?

pelo26 @pelo26 (1552) • Philippines 24 Apr 07

We can't deny it. Dogs got the charm that can make even the toughest of hearts soft. What do love most about your dog or any pet you have?

mygreyparrot I have lots of pets, and I love them all. I'll just use my Saint Bernard as an example here. She is always happy to see me! When I wake up in the morning she acts like we haven't seen each other in years. Everytime I come home she greets me at the door. She's...

mygreyparrot You need to snipe! I know it is hard with dialup though. I usually wait until the last 10 seconds to bid. Make sure you put the max you want to pay at the very last moment possible. Even if you can do it in the last minute that would be okay. They also have...

Why did ebay become as big as it is?

aseru48 @aseru48 (173) • United States 23 Apr 07

Ebay is one of the most visited sites on the internet now. What do you think was the reason why the whole online auction caught on with the users

2 responses

mygreyparrot They got lucky. Just like Microsoft, Google, etc. Everyone tried to copy off their success - but it has never worked. All of the other auction sites have flopped, and are virtual ghost towns. That is why Ebay continues to raise their fees -- They know they...

mygreyparrot My guess is the buyer won't pay. I can't stand selling electronics on Ebay. Half of the winners never pay! If not more. I would go through BestBuy and get the one for $594 before buying a laptop on Ebay. I hate to say that, because I'm a fulltime Ebay Seller -...

Please help: Ebay shipping discount

VotreAmie @VotreAmie (3028) • United States 24 Apr 07

I finally started selling on ebay. As I am going to move soon after the house sells, I decided to put on sale some of our stuff. I want to offer a shipping discount if a person buys more than one item and I have seen an...

mygreyparrot They just click the box on the Sell Your Item form. Then you can offer a discount of like $1 per item they buy. I prefer to state "Combined shipping available" in my auctions, and send them a total once they are done shopping. I've had people buy 10-15 items,...

mygreyparrot Wow, you have 500 friends? And you get an email every time one starts a discussion? I have mine set up to not email me when friends post. It'd just be too much email. It wouldn't bother me if someone deleted me, as I don't really memorize who is on my list....

Babies in restaurants

paidmuse @paidmuse (30) • Denmark 16 Mar 07

More and more café's are putting up signs asking mothers with babies not to feed them (the natural way)in the café area but to go to the toilet or to bottle them only. In my opinion is so rude to ask a mother to do something that...

Feeling Pressured on St. Patrick's Day

Leca @lecanis (16647) • Murfreesboro, Tennessee 15 Mar 07

Okay, I know St. Patricks' Day is modernly seen as a general celebration of Irish Heritage, and by many, as simply an excuse to get drunk. However, originally, the point of St. Patrick's day was to celebrate St. Patrick, who is...

mygreyparrot I don't celebrate at all. I see it also as a reason to get drunk. Since I don't drink, I have no reason to go out. It's way too dangerous to be on the roads with all those drunks. I hate when people pinch someone for not wearing green.

mygreyparrot I do feel for their families. But we also have to remember that they weren't drafted. All the people in our armed forces at the moment signed up to do it. I think it is very hard on wives/husbands/kids, and I know I could never handle being married to a...

mygreyparrot I think people can change. It depends on the person though. It also depends on if they want to change for themselves, or for someone else. Someone has to want it as bad as you do to change. I do belive that the majority of people never change, and a lot of...

pilbara @pilbara (1436) • Australia 16 Mar 07

mygreyparrot I'd talk to your husband about this. He needs to have some respect for you. It doesn't bother me if my friends call or show up late, but I am up until about 4am myself. If it bothers you, you definately need to speak up.
