Powdered chocolate mix or syrup?

mamabeezy @mamabeezy (172) • United States 11 Feb 09

I tried using Nesquick powder for a while. I noticed it never completely dissolved and didn't taste very chocolatey... I tried using off-brand chocolate syrup and made the best chocolate milk ever. Besides deans of course!...

raxxie Did you try mixing first the powder with just a little of milk? That way, the powder gets a syrup-like consistence and it's easier to dissolve when you add the rest of the milk. Also, it gets a better flavour!

Why would someone let a cat outside that has been declawed?

moneymommy @moneymommy (3418) • United States 4 Feb 09

This is annoying someone in my town has a cat that was declawed and they let him outside. Don'T you think he might get hurt? I would think he wouldn't be able to defend himself. What do you think?

raxxie The whole declawing thing is terrible! Cats need their claws so people should take time to educate cats or stop having cats at home if they can't train them and hate their scratch habit. I vote for training!
