    Another furbaby gone to the Rainbow Bridge :( (sorry, long post)

    I'm so sorry for your loss. I remember your words of support and encouragement when I lost my Mackey. May you find peace in your memories and in knowing that she passed on knowing she was loved. - Laura:lovestruc

    What is the best wet cat food?

    My three boys (including Sunny Doodle who is a insulin-controlled diabetic) can't get enough of Weruva's Mideast Feast with grilled tilapia. Tuna, water and tilapia are the first three ingredients. I originally could only find it at a local Mom & Pop pet store, but now I have a monthly...

    Ichthammol

    Last year I had a boil that didn't respond to moist heat - was getting worse and worse each day. At a co-workers suggestion, I got the CVS brand of ichthammol ointment. It was nasty - looked and smelled like tar. :eek: But, it worked wonders. The boil cleared up in a few days. :thumbsup2...

    How old is your cat?

    Blackie - about 6. He was a feral that I trapped/tamed when he was six to nine months old. Sunny Doodle - about 7. He's been with me for 3 years, he came from a bad situation which resulted in a lot of medical issues. Moo - about 4. He was a feral that I trapped/semi-tamed when he...

    Going back to school and tooting my own horn!

    Business Administration with a major in Human Resource Management. Many years ago I worked as a corporate trainer and worked directly with HR in many aspects - hiring, on-boarding, etc. I'd like to get back into that. A few years ago when I was job hunting, it became very apparent that 20...

    Going back to school and tooting my own horn!

    Thank you to everybody for the congratulations and well-wishes. :goodvibes It has been so crazy the last few years going back to school while working full-time. Now that I'm done - I have to start doing all the things I kept putting off until I "was done with school"! - Laura

    Going back to school and tooting my own horn!

    Every now and then a thread about going back to school as an adult pops up on this board. It always boils down to "the time is going to pass anyway, so go for it!" I agree with that statement 100%. Today, at the age of 44, I am proud to say that I am a college graduate - I received my...

    Bunnies to Birthday Cake (or 45 by 45 in 24) - Comments Welcome

    Sorry I was MIA last week ... I weighed in this morning at 222.2 - that brings me down 1.4 for a total loss of 3.6. Nothing to write home about, but at least it is moving in the right direction despite any sort of actual plan. As for the 3 small goals I set for myself last time: 1)...

    Question for all of the board game experts out there!

    I second 221B Baker Street. :thumbsup2 Like Bill said, similar to Clue (you have to move around the board collecting clues in different London-based locations). Lot's of fun! - Laura

    Weighed in yesterday at 223.6. That puts me at a loss of .4 for the week, and a total of 2.4 over 3 weeks. Again, no plan was followed and I only went to bootcamp once. While part of me says, “Wow, I lost 2.4 pounds without changing anything”, the more intelligent part of me says...

    Does anyone have a peephole on any of the doors in their house?

    Just checked mine - glass inside and out. - Laura

    Weighed in this morning at 224. That puts me at a loss of .6 for the week, and a total of 1.8 over 2 weeks. Considering I followed no plan and only got to bootcamp once, I have no complaints. In fact, I think the loss is a fluke. Anyway - I AM OFFICALLY DONE WITH SCHOOL. :cool1...

    The warmer weather - along with school ending - will totally change my exercising routine. I try to get to bootcamp 3 or 4 times per week, and (weather permitting) try to get a 3-mile walk in on my "off" days. The crazy winter we had made those walks nearly impossible. ;)

    Bunnies to Birthday Cake (or 45 by 45 in 24) - Comments Welcome

    I didn't intend to wait a week for an update, but the last few days got away from me. I initially weighed myself Monday morning and the damage was: 225.8 lbs. :( I didn't really have a plan this week. I'm finishing up my last week or so of school (went back for my bachelors at age 42) and...

    I unplugged my TV and DISH DVR...will my shows

    FWIW - Optimum's DVR+ will still record during a power failure. (Not the "normal" DVR function, the DVR+ function only). During Hurricane Sandy, I was without power for over a week. When the power was restored, all of my recordings during that time-frame were waiting for me on my DVR+...

    Sorry for the lame title – I was trying to come up with something catchy, but I’m not that creative. ;) Settled on “Bunnies to Birthday Cake” since my first phase will run from Easter until my Birthday in October. 45 by 45 in 24 was my second title choice, since I’d like to lose 45 pounds by...
