I've found that by eliminating clothes softener liquids for rinsing out my clothes and using plain white vinegar instead (about a cupful) keeps my washer clean. No more expensive tablets that a famous brand suggests you use to prevent lime scale, no more gooey mucky build up from clothes softeners and of course my clothes are nice and soft. There is no trace of vinegar smell in them either. On the contrary, the only smell is from the washing powder or liquid. And it's very very cheap. I always have ten quarts of it in my house. My washer has never been this clean.<br /> White vinegar can be used all around the house especially in the bathroom. I keep it in a spray bottle and it's fantastic as well as being cheap for cleaning the taps and around the shower area. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/2407/page/2#post-453000 Sat, 26 Sep 2009 17:03:02 +0000 spanky_mouse 453000@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>WOW..... I have tears !! This is beautiful and in a way bitter sweet. I reminds me of the many furry friends I have loved and lost in my life. Its good to remember them and it also shows just how much of an impact a pet can have in your life. Thanks you for sharing this.<br /> Kristen </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8386#post-438852 Fri, 28 Aug 2009 18:21:08 +0000 MaxandCali'sMom 438852@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I like the tip about the store-bought frosting. I always end up pulling the top off the cake (13 x 9 type) and it turns into a big mess. So, if you whip it first, it probably thins it out enough to spread more easily, too. And heating the measuring cup with the hot water is GREAT!! I cook a lot with peanut butter. Thanks! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8386#post-438828 Fri, 28 Aug 2009 17:39:36 +0000 ninja 438828@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>y'know it says tricks every 'woman' should know, but some of these would be useful for everyone(including me) (: </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8386#post-397837 Mon, 15 Jun 2009 09:16:46 +0000 Susan 397837@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I agree, you are so much better than Martha Stewart, and more fun. I love these hints. I already knew a couple of them, but I'm printing these out and I'm going to use them whenever possible. Thanks much! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/9513/page/4#post-363969 Wed, 08 Apr 2009 04:29:58 +0000 cricketsmama 363969@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Awww Gini, we love you and your beautiful boys. I am just glad we can help you out, by money, by prayers, or whatever. Big hugs!!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/9513/page/4#post-363968 Wed, 08 Apr 2009 04:26:21 +0000 SammyandOliversmama 363968@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>MCW, thanks for the bump!! {{Taco}} {{Gini}}{{Feeny}} </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/9513/page/4#post-363963 Wed, 08 Apr 2009 03:52:04 +0000 mollycat71 363963@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>gini, you are welcome </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/9513/page/4#post-363859 Tue, 07 Apr 2009 19:10:59 +0000 gini 363859@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>MCW thanks for the bump :)</p> <p>Cheri, thank you for the contribution today; it really does help and is very kind of you.</p> <p>CW I agree; it is so touching to me that through tdk and friends I was able to pay off a good 1/3rd of his vet bills. That took so many months and months of time off of paying back his bills and takes so much stress off of me. It means the world that so many people can come together and help out those in need. One day when I hold a "real" job after school and have a solid source of income I fully intend to pay it back to society and always help those in need whenever I can.</p> <p>I would like to personally thank everyone for all their contributions whether it be big or small, and even if you can't afford it I want to thank you all for all of the emotional contributions and support you have all given me throughout the beginning and all of Taco (and Feeny's!) life. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/9513/page/4#post-363804 Tue, 07 Apr 2009 18:11:34 +0000 CSBM 363804@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>make that 42 TDKer's. I just contributed. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/9513/page/4#post-363799 Tue, 07 Apr 2009 17:25:43 +0000 Catwoman 363799@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>It warms my heart to see that with the offerings of 41 TDKers and others, this goal was reached. Almost every contributor says something about how little they could send. It certainly is true that a lot of people doing a little bit each are able to accomplish great things. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/9513/page/4#post-363683 Tue, 07 Apr 2009 14:12:47 +0000 MadcatwomanintheUK 363683@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I hope Gini doesn't mind my bumping this thread up again - there's only a few more days until this chip in appeal ends, so I thought it worth flagging up just one more time. If you're not familiar with Taco's story, read Gini's post at the top of the thread. And if you can't help out, then cyber scritches are just as welcome!! :o) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/919/page/4#post-362549 Sun, 05 Apr 2009 15:41:14 +0000 mollycat71 362549@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>You know tuttibella, it really is hard to tell on the little buggers. It brought up a conversation with my sister this weekend as well. When I was ten, shattered my leg and darn near made our cat go into labor when I did it. The day I came home from the hospital she had her kittens. They sat with me almost all summer and crawled down my full leg cast (one almost got stuck down there!) daily. Funny thing was my dad was a doctor and called the boys girls and the girls boys! I guess the "parts" just aren't that well defined when they are little! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/919/page/4#post-362418 Sun, 05 Apr 2009 11:23:06 +0000 tuttibella 362418@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Thanks for sharing all the gender confusion stories! Got me chuckling so much ..<br /> I was so certain that Lucy Belle was a boy actually, since I was comparing her parts with pictures I found on the net. Darn! It is hard to tell without a vet's expert eyes. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/919/page/4#post-362298 Sun, 05 Apr 2009 05:50:40 +0000 anncetera2 362298@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Tuttibella, it's easy to mistake the gender of a kitten. I once had a litter of 5 kittens born to a stray... I was having a hard time telling the boys from the girls, though I was pretty doggone certain on the tortie (female).</p> <p>When the entire litter went in for their TNR surgeries and shots, I found out why it was hard to tell them apart. Every single last kitten was a girl! Thank goodness that was a crew that all got spayed, along with their mama. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/919/page/4#post-362203 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 21:37:24 +0000 krazikat 362203@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I'm so glad you posted this thread GD. I had never seen the baby pictures of LucyBelle. How delicate she looked and what a pretty little girl she is today. Tuttibella you are a wonderful Meowmy. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/919/page/4#post-362195 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 21:14:16 +0000 feral 362195@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>How great to have this pulled from the archives. I can't believe it's been so long since the first posting of Miss Lucy Belle. She's as precious now as she was then. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/919/page/4#post-362188 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 20:17:39 +0000 mollycat71 362188@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>LOL CBM </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/919/page/4#post-362187 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 20:14:28 +0000 CheetahBoysmommy 362187@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>No one should ever be embarrassed about not knowing the sex of a tiny kitten - it's pretty well obscured. My vet has a lovely little office kitty. He's a neutered male whose name is Jennifer. When people ask why a boy cat is named Jennifer the chagrined story is that the vet's little daughter found Jennifer behind the shopping center, took him in to her father who took a quick look and said it was a girl. Of course, once a 6 year old has named her new very young kitten Jennifer after her favorite doll, there's no way you can talk her into renaming the kitten. When the doc took a closer look later he tried to convince his daughter that Jimmy would be more appropriate than Jenny. No luck, the cat is 9 years old and he's stilled named Jennifer. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/919/page/4#post-362082 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 17:38:15 +0000 tuttibella 362082@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Haha..Mollycat71 - seems like our kitten were a little gender confused at the beginning. I got to know through my vet too. I have been calling the kitty Benji .. oh Benji, mommy loves you, you're such a good little boy, mommy loves little Benji and then...It's a GIRL!!!! *Thud! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/919/page/4#post-362078 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 17:35:21 +0000 mollycat71 362078@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Please my boy kitty was a girl for a long time! When I took "him" to the vet my vet asked me if I knew the difference between boys and girls (jokingly!). Talk about blushing! It's so great to see what a fantastic job you have done and how well Lucy has grown! ((((((LUCYBELLE)))))) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/919/page/4#post-362075 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 17:32:30 +0000 GreatDane 362075@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Oh no worries!

LOL .. am a bit embarressed at how naive I must have sounded initially. I have learned so much this past year and if I ever have to rescue a tiny kitten again, I would know what to do now!</p> <p>And eeeeekkkk... pls don't remind me that Lucy Belle was formerly Benjamin! *Blush!* </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/919/page/4#post-362059 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 17:14:13 +0000 mollycat71 362059@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>OMG! I can't believe what a great job you have done with Lucy Belle! Thanks to Great Dane for referencing this thread! I got to read up on Lucy's life and it really adds to her cuteness. Be so proud, you did so much for this little one, you are an excellent MEOWMY! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/10670/page/8#post-272017 Mon, 03 Nov 2008 16:25:40 +0000 Momma to 2 MaineCoons 272017@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>2p I am having the same trouble voting today!
