Chalea Hutchinson It's not as strange as you believe. My tomcat likes to chew on things. Particularly the rubber handle of his grooming brushes and the straw in my straw broom. He'll chew on grass for a few moments any time that he can manage to escape out of the door.

Chalea Hutchinson I do occasionally, when I have money to spare. I liken it to spending $5-$10 on going out to eat alone one afternoon or going to the movies.. Something special, not to be done often. A little treat to myself, if you will!

Maddmuzik04 @Maddmuzik04 (12) • United States 6 Jan 13

Chalea Hutchinson No one else can "ruin" your day but you. Ultimately, you and you alone are responsible for how you feel, how you approach others, and how you approach the road... regardless of what others may or may not be doing.
