My colleague shaved her dog and her dog looks so weird and even ugly in my opinion. I asked her why she had to shave the dog. She said it would be easier to handle since the dog often fell the hair everywhere. I was in shock to...

snowcat46 I have 2 dogs. We've had dogs before and never had to shave them. Even though they had thick hair, they were fine. These 2 are different. As soon as it turns fairly warm, we have to shave them. As close to the skin as we can get. Yes, it's ugly. Yes, it breaks...

snowcat46 Maybe they were scared of the "grandpa" thing? They didn't want to seem to contradict you? I've had responses to some of my discussions that were so complete, or so confusing, I had no idea how to answer them. I didn't want to get in a conversation where...

snowcat46 We get invaded every year. I used to use a borax and sugar mixed in hot water, then dip strips of paper towel in and put in strategic places. Borax is the main ingredient in most ant poison. This year we had the tiny ants that came in and the extra large...

snowcat46 Vinegar on a bee or other sting. Keeps it from swelling. My daughter was very allergic to stings. She'd swell up FAST. I tried that and it worked beautifully. Colds--I used to eat raw onions with salami on a sandwich. It stopped working well after a few...

I do not mean in a bank or a credit union, but more I would just like to know what things you are doing in your life to cut expenses. I think it gets harder and harder to do. One example is that I make my own laundry soap. Another...

snowcat46 Invest in a freezer and buy meat in bulk. We used to buy a 1/2 beef for it. Now we do a full beef. Most lockers will find one a farmer wants to sell. Some towns, the grocery store will also get you a beef. Sometimes you can go in with friends, so each of you...

snowcat46 We have had cable and DISH. Then we went to just antenna. I couldn't see the point of paying them so much just to watch reruns constantly, or not even find anything I wanted to see. Now we have Netflix. Not the greatest, but it's only $8 a month. Hulu Plus has...

My parents were sitting whining that they have no money, and my Dad hasnt been working as much (he went from $1,000 a week to $200.00 a week). My Mom at work all day carries on how my Dad needs to get a real job. Well now she...

snowcat46 You are NOT picking on him. They're enabling him. My mother-in-law does the same thing for some of her daughters. She supports the ones who don't want to work, but those of her children who moved out had better never ask her for anything! When we married...

snowcat46 When I was young, it was Canda or Alaska. The wilderness, no people, back to nature. As an adult, it was more an island. So I could support myself, no people again, lots of animals. But there's a standing "joke" (maybe not so much a joke as a wish)...

snowcat46 I wonder if she has LRP. It's stomach acid in the throat. My daughter has this. She went to various doctor. One told her "it was in just in her head." (I dislike doctors that do that. I'd like to slap them) My girl kept trying and found a doctor who'd...

snowcat46 It is not his responsibility to cure her! He can try to help her, try to support her, but it is no one except a doctor to try to cure her. That is like saying if your father is abusing you or molesting you it's your responsibility to take care of him cause...

snowcat46 I never loan money unless I can afford it. Once you loan it, get used to the idea they won't pay it back. If they do, you're ahead. If they don't, NEVER loan to them again. Preferably don't let them in your house again either. If you refuse them money, they...

Name the actor and the part they played that personify what you consider good 'manly attributes.' I like Bruce Willis, as John McClane from Die Hard. No, he's not pretty, and he's hard to get along with, but he'd go to all...

snowcat46 I don't think the humane societies as a whole are the same company as HSUS. I used to send out mail for each of these. HSUS was a giant mailer. The other humane societies were tiny mailings, each one was specific to a community. They might be the same company,...

snowcat46 Yeah, Althalus was pretty much filler. Ok, but nothing to write home about. I've read Polgara the Sorceress so many times. It's just so neat to see behind the scenes, as it were. It was so funny, wasn't it? Silk, the corrupt, having scruples. I really,...
