The US, the UK and NZ are in a recession. I know that lots of us are dealing with financial difficulties...some much more than others. But I bet that most of us are tightening up the purse strings. I thought it might be helpful (and fun!) to have a corner where we can post some of our favorite budget-friendly tips and ideas. Do you have energy-saving advice? Maybe a low-cost recipe? Any frugal tips involving pets? Post them here!</p> <p>I will start it off with the latest Wal Mart freebies. The forms are very quick and easy to fill out and the products always arrive...and NO spam afterward! New offers are usually added every few days. For the freebies that you can't personally use, there is always a pet shelter that will accept the pet freebies and a women's shelter than will accept freebie baby products. </p> <p><a href="http://instoresnow.walmart.com/In-Stores-Now-free-samples.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://instoresnow.walmart.com/In-Stores-Now-free-samples.aspx</a> </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/23084#post-472365 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 02:34:58 +0000 AZDEBRA 5/27 & crew 472365@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>What a cutie!!! <a href="http://thedailykitten.com/kitten/603/" rel="nofollow">http://thedailykitten.com/kitten/603/</a> Savannah kitten </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/23052#post-471842 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:07:45 +0000 Marnet 471842@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Warning, there is at least one old thread -- "Deaf Kitten" -- which has suddenly been replied to, seemingly by valid replies BUT beware that there are strange links embedded within the replies tempting readers to click on them.

Thought I would start the NS..it's been a while.<br /> So to update everyone, I took Abbers to the dr. no ear infection..she's healthy. She has some stuff in her nose due to allergies..so I am to use saline solution for that..I told the dr about the whole waking up and the nights of he** and she said, she is teething, so due to the fact she's 19lb 12oz, I can give her more medication for that. Also, she said it can be a matter of..hey..mom comes when I cry..I can sleep whenever, so lets cry and get mom in here..she said I have to break the cycle if it's that. Which I am already starting to do. So I gave her the higher dosage of meds and her bottle at bed and I hope and pray she sleeps all night...pray for me. :)</p> <p>Anyway, I am going to get some popcorn, and go watch a movie..Wayne is studying for his test tomorrow and I am going to leave him to it. Good night all. Catch you in the AM or the PM depending on your continent :)<br /> Hugs!!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/23082#post-472346 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 23:42:17 +0000 jessij 472346@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Sorry I haven't been around lately. I am absolutely flat out with uni work but I hope you are all doing well. </p> <p>Anyways, I don't know why I never thought of doing it before but the other day I started purring to Willow to see what he would do.<br /> Well he immediately began purring too...really loudly.<br /> How funny! It must make him happy when he thinks I'm happy. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/23073#post-472129 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 12:50:50 +0000 Hizlilbrat 472129@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I have a peace Lilly i was given at my dads funeral. When we went on vacation the pet/house sitter forgot to water it..so when i got home i had A LOT of dead brown and yellowish leaves...I thought the answer was to water it tons for a few days and it would come back....boy was i wrong! </p> <p>I am guessing now ti has root rot, not a single leave left and barely 1 stalk...i have removed it from the dirt, took off all the mushy dead Root and i have a small amount of "healthy" white roots...is it possible to save it? How do i even go about trying to save it at this point? Is it better to re-pot this tiny bit of a plant in a small pot of try and grow it in water?

Because im just starting, I don't really need a high-end model, just one that I can learn with and that actually works. My budget is $50 and id really like to find a good deal on/by Black friday. Can someone please suggest some?

Didn't sleep at all. Hi to family.</p> <p>I responded letting her know that we love her and that we are praying for her and we hope today is better. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/23065#post-471989 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 09:35:37 +0000 Hizlilbrat 471989@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Now i didn't think it was that hard; and given the "replay all" war we had back the beginning of the year where it was agreed "replay all" was NOT a good way to address unwanted emails...it would seem there are still some people who think it is.</p> <p>Why would it be so hard to simply (politely BTW) ask the sender of the email to not send you these such emails, remove you from their contacts etc.? Look at the alernitive...I sent that email to more then just TDK "family"; i sent it to my 97 year old grandmother, who just learned how to use email and is now scared to use it again because people she doesn't know have some how "stolen" her email address. I sent it to my brother in Falusia, who gets a total of 9 minutes a week to check his email and respond to his loved ones. Instead of being able to respond he is sifting through emails of people he doesn't know and now doesn't get to reply to his wife for another week.</p> <p>I understand and respect everyones religious views...it was not meant to "shove religion down your throat"..it was about a Christmas card to a company who wishes to remove religion from the meaning. I didn't mean to offend anyone... </p> <p>NO "snopes" is not the tell all of what is right and what is fake. If you read snopes you would see what they are saying is FALSE is that 2 tons of Christmas cheer would not clog up their mail room...they also stated they did not play a part in a law suit to remove religion from the holiday....no where in my email did it say they were a part of any law suite.</p> <p>With that being said...why would be it SO hard, if you disagree, don't like, or don't care for an email/person to ask THAT person as opposed to starting this "reply all" war we all disagreed some months ago was distasteful to begin with? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/23059#post-471886 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 05:20:02 +0000 Siobhan 471886@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Good Morning everyone and Happy Friday!</p> <p>Meezers are swarming the cafe today, tying on little meezer aprons and putting on little chef meezer hats.

It is pretty funny so thought I would share: </p> <p>If You Didn't Have A Cat ...</p> <p>1. Your supply of amusing anecdotes would dry up in no time<br /> 2. You would have to live with toliet paper that is still on the roll<br /> 3. Your feather duster could survive unmolested<br /> 4. Your nylons might last until you make it out the door<br /> 5. Your houseplants would look like ... houseplants!<br /> 6. You would have no use for the plastic milk jug rings<br /> 7. You would be forced to go vacation without feelings of anxiety and guilt about your feline's well-being<br /> 8. You would have to show up for important business and social functions without cat hair on your clothing<br /> 9. You would have to come home to the dullness of a house with no furry welcoming committee<br /> 10. You wouldn't have to keep answering questions like, "You have how many cats?" and "Doesn't your house smell?"<br /> 11. You probably would have fewer really impressive scars to show people<br /> 12. Your furniture wouldn't have that "fashionably furry" look<br /> 13. You would wake up late and be late for work<br /> 14. You'd miss out on the pleasure of locating strategically placed hairballs with your bare feet<br /> 15. Shopping in pet supply stores wouldn't be much fun<br /> 16. You wouldn't be able to leave the office early for vet appointments </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/23067#post-472011 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 10:22:49 +0000 feral 472011@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>This weekend will be interesting. Our Mobile Home Park is offering up a yard sale for the next 3 days. A first in the history of this park (it's been here for over 30 yrs.). All I can say is....where the he** were they a few months back when I was having salvation army come get my 'years of' things? I have very little left to offer up for sale to bring in any $$...in fact, I have nothing left to offer up. That really sucks.

He needs to find a forever home, preferably a home with no other cats.<br /> He started sneaking into my parent’s house through the kitty door to get food around mid summer. My dad being a sucker decided that he needed a break and allowed him to come in from time to time and eat. My parents already have four cats and now were open to adding Fur Face as number five. Fur Face adopted my parents and with effort, my dad has cracked his “I’m a tough cat “attitude. My mom however is a little jaded after being scratched a couple times.<br /> FF has been neglected, abused and abandoned, but he is still a loveable boy that needs someone that is willing to invest time in him and earn his trust. Fur Face would have found his final home with my parents but he is an alpha kitty, and my parents other cats are not please that he is in their territory. The result of a new cat in “their” house has them spraying and being naughty.<br /> With great sadness, my dad asked me today if I knew of anyone that would be willing to take FF into their home and heart. My dad has bonded with FF and doesn’t want to betray that trust, he wants to know that he will have a loving home and most importantly his last home. Fur Face deserves to have a good home with humans that will love him and take care of him.<br /> I you or anyone you know are interested please let me know<br /> Thanks<br /> Kristen </p> <p>Dad also says that he is willing to meet someone half way </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/23050#post-471822 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:08:14 +0000 fiona123 471822@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>They say love makes the world goes round.

What was thought to be stage 2 lung cancer and most likely operable is now stage 4 and has spread to her aorta. I am in shock at this time because she is in Arizona and I am in South Dakota...I think I will be flying out this weekend just to be there if nothing else. She did not know yet when my brother called to tell me... I don't know anything about cancer but i truly think that sounds bad...I hold out hope but not real sure what the next step will be.</p> <p>Thank you for listening and being there...it is looking more and more like it might be Easter Cards rather than Christmas... </p>
