    Red bull… it gives you wings! There was a Beanie Baby that was named Tabasco (a red bull) that’s why I thought of it. Is that your pant leg that he’s clawing on?

    Looks like you can break him he is so small! My friend used to have a kitten that looked just like that but they all ran away! Wish my cats were still that small!

    That said, what a pretty orangey.

    Ahi is Hawaiian for bigeye tuna and/or yellowfin tuna. It is sold in loin sections or steaks at the fish counter. Ahi has a mild flavor and firm texture.

    Have you ever tried Icy Hot patches? My husband uses them when his joints or muscles hurt. My mom uses Ibuprofin for her arthritis, she says it helps some.

    I have used the Therma Care back belt type when I have to take a car trip for more than a few hours. They are just too much money to use on a daily basis. I used to take prescrition strenght of Motrin now I take three tylonol/codiene and three muscle relaxers a day. Unfortunately nothing has ever taken the pain away but it dulls it. I go to the doctor on the 20th I will check out any new drugs.

    Here’s a cat who is down to 8 lives, and owners who should be educated! I hope this posts…
    Cat survives being frozen in trough Sat Feb 10, 10:07 PM ETE, Ind. - A cat found half-frozen in a water trough is recovering, but may lose his tail.
    Melissa Jones said she found the cat Tuesday when she stepped onto her porch for a cigarette. His tail and hind legs were stuck in about three inches of ice. She and her husband used buckets of hot water to free him.

    “His little ears are droopy and purple and so are his little feet,” Jones said, adding that his new nickname is “Droopy.”

    In the morning, she took the seven-month-old yellow and white tiger cat to a veterinarian, where he was given an antibiotic. The vet recommended a regimen of warm water and foot and tail massages to help its circulation, but still may lose its tail.

    Jones says the family will probably keep the cat indoors from now on.

    Jen, as I commented to Elaine yesterday I posted for months before anyone replied to one of my commnets. I think it was Dee saying I cracked her up. I don’t try and be funny I just see the world a bit bent. We enjoy everyone that joins us with a kind spirit even when we rightly get ticked off at injustises. So all you lurkers out there stick your two cents in it is a small price to pay to join a great group of people.
