Frank Sinatra for dinner music (nm)

Calming pills.
I got some calming pills from PetsMart which helps with her nervousness. I just have to remember to give them to her about 30 minutes before we go anywhere.

As for fluids, I gave her a bath and squirted water in her mouth and used a squirt bottle so she got at least some fluids in. She's going in tomorrow morning at 9 for some IV fluids. No diarrhea or puking today and she kept her pills down. *fingers crossed*

Soft porn pictures, how about your soft porn posts?
Go climb back in your slime ball life.
Have you heard her first album titled Frank?
Great stuff! Especially considering her age! She'll get through this rough patch and hopefully make great music years to come!

Wear a soft t-shirt for a while and
leave it in her favorite place to sleep so she will have your scent. Mine love to sleep on my clothes!
soft paws - yes they work :)

Hi,


I moved recently, and we brought my daughter's cat with us.  There was no way we could do anything else with him.  He is an older cat, and they have grown up together.  We moved into a beautiful home, but there was no way I could bring myself to declaw him, especially at his age.  It just wasn't an option.  So, we researched what we could do for him, and we opted to "try" the Soft Paws.  Well, they have been a godsend for us. 


Some advice - you do have to clip their nails before putting the paws on, so you need a good clippers and need to be very careful for the vein that runs through the claw.  If you are not comfortable trimming their nails, of course you could get it done professionally.  The plastic covers slip on and are glued over the clipped nails.  You do need to be very careful to get the proper size.  They go by weight, and my cat actually needed the large - he didn't meet the weight, but he is a bigger cat, and his feet are just bigger :P.  If they are too small, they come off very easily, and I think they are uncomfortable for the cat.  Also, they do need to be replaced about every 2 months - they fall off eventually as the nail grows out, and you need to repeat the process.  We find that it is worth it though, even with the little nail caps laying around on the floor occasionally!  :P


My "furkid" adapted very well to the soft paws... so I would definitely consider them as an option.  Hope this helped! :D


Yes, it is soft and scratches easy because...sm

bamboo is not really a wood, it is a grass turned into a *wood* - it scratches easily (kitty litter can scratch it) and so it's *shoes off* in my house.  *laughs*  I studied woods for 5 years before I made my choice, knowing all about it scratching easy but since my kids are ALL GROWN UP....no problem here.  *S*



Our husky is getting soft, he is really good - sm
about coming in when called for the most part (not when he lived with my dad though). But on the cooler nights he tends to drag his feet coming in. Or just give me a look from down where he is lying on the deck ( you know how husky's are) and you know he is thinking I will coming in when I am darned ready to. I then check back in 5 or so minutes and he will come in then, so funny. I usually leave the dogs out until I am going to bed (11-12) and he runs right in and lays down on his dog bed and goes right to sleep. Need to start walking him though, he gained like 10 pounds this last year and he is a big boy as it is (85#-- does not look overweight though which is good, still has a nice waist just a little thicker than it should be) and he only has 3 legs so that is not good for him (2 front, 1 back). Maybe after dinner now that it is starting to cool down, way too hot before with all his fur.
I think sometimes men are not supposed to have a soft side
some think of as not being masculine but he shows me a calming, soothing, softened touch that I could just eat out of his hand. If he could bottle and sell, women would make him rich beyond his wildest. He is from a very large family, 11 in all and get this- none of the guys (around 7 or so), all married and not 1 divorce in the group! I think that speaks volumes- the range of age is from around 60s down to the upper 40s. I accused him of sprinkling gold dust in my eyes because years later still have that same feeling!

Wow! I actually use medium, but not soft. I don't understand sm
how you have cavities due to a hard toothbrush? I mean, cavities are caused by not brushing.

And root issues due to a hard brush? Again, I'm not disputing what you are saying, but enamel and gums are two completely different things.

And 2 minutes is the minimum that you should brush your teeth. The only thing I will retract in my post is the firm brush - medium is good -soft for sensitive teeth.

I have a soft spot for this story. sm
My aunt went through a similar story. She had a highschool sweetheart, but the families couldn't get along. So, Aunt went off to college, met and married. Had 2 boys. HS sweetie went to different college, met and married, had 3 kids.

They met at 30th HS reunion. Both divorced and alone, children grown up. Both lived in different states so decided to write back and forth via email. After a couple years, they moved closer to one another and started dating. A year later they were married.

They were very happy together and planned their retirement time to spend traveling the country in their RV. They got 5 happy years together, including 1 year of retirement. Aunt got very ill and died suddenly.

Moral of story: Life is shorter than you think. Do the best you can with what you have.
My mom painted hers a soft gold color
in the family room, and it looks great. If you have built-in cabinets in the same room, sometimes you'll see contrasting colors used for the inside back, and that can look interesting.
Hmm, hard water versus soft
Well might have thought about that but this was noticed as soon as the tile installed and has never been mopped so nothing like that. Heavens only knows where these little spots came from but definitely not water route.
My dentist says SOFT toothbrush, never firm!
All these years, everyone thought stiff brushes were better than soft, and the harder and longer you brushed, the better. WRONG! I now have lots of cavity and root issues going on because I have essentially worn off much of the enamel on my teeth between the gumline and the center of the tooth. Have had to have more cavities filled, as well as lots of restorative work. Now I use a soft baby's toothbrush!
Fixing a flat (soft drink, that is)....... (sm)
I do this one all the time: Ever leave half a Coke in the fridge, only to come back later and it's FLAT? I simply open up a new one and add some in with the flat stuff, and the result is actually a smoother, yet still carbonated soft drink. And then you haven't wasted half a can.

Oh my gosh I found this kind that the store Target sells that are made in Australia, and they are just the best pieces of confection I have ever put in my pie hole. 
Green bean casserole - need a soft veggie dish!

I just went on line and found ultra soft brushes from Oral-B and
a few others.  I hope this helps someone.  The pack of 6 was $18.99, I believe. 
Roast up onions & peppers for fajitas. Make roll-ups out of them with soft

Rolls, dessert (some kind of soft pie or chocolate pie). Instead of potato salad, maybe sm
mashed potatoes since they are edentulous. Green bean casserole was a great idea. Corn casserole too is yummy.
Yeah, the True Blood series is basically like soft porn...
definitely not advisable for a 14 year old!!!
MUSIC
Don't forget (and I can't remember who sings it)...Celebrate!! I am in my 30s and we always [and still do sometimes (shh..my kids think we're weird)] like to dance to Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Also, I'm not a big fan but most of the people I know like Jimmy Buffet.

Hope that helps!!
Music
Has anyone tried listening to a CD while you work??  I accidentally stumbled across this as my son was blaring some of his music.  But there are a couple of CDs of his I like I play them in the background, it helps me concentrate and improves my speed.  Am I the only weird one???
I like music as well....

I've found that it keeps you focused, but I was used to listening when I worked full-time on-site.  I am quite accustomed to background noise from when my children were young, but now that they are in school, it makes me feel "not so lonely".  I do not, however, prefer the TV blaring unless it is on a music channel.  I think it is quite soothing, and I'm not real sure why....  lol 


music
I always have a CD playing in the background but it's got to be something soothing and relaxing like Enya.  Being home alone all day can be really boring and lonely without it. I find it really too quiet otherwise. 
DVDs, CDs, what do they like? music, TV?

Looking for music to exercise by - sm

I received an iTunes gift card for Christmas and am looking for music I can download to my iPod to exercise by.  I'd really like exercise-specific music that includes a slower song or two for the warmup, then a steady faster rhythm for 30 minutes or so and then another slower song for the cooldown.


I suppose I could create my own list, but it would take me way too long to figure out 30 minutes' worth of songs with the same basic rhythm!


Any help sure would be appreciated.  I'm so tired of feeling guilty every time I walk past the treadmill that I just "had" to have.


Filthy rap music...
The teachers have to take turns doing "car duty" in the afternoons, making sure the car riders get in their vehicles safely. Well, yesterday, a mother pulls up with 5 of her children in tow, and had 5 more children at this elementary school where my daughter works. One of her children is in my daughter's classroom and so my daughter called her over to put her on the car. When she opened the door, she said the music playing was pure filth, and in 5 seconds, she heard the "n" word, the "b" word, the "f" word, and what this woman should wrap her legs around, if you know what I mean. Now, this "mother" of all 10 children, has the music up so loud, she doesn't even realize her door is open and the teacher is standing there with her 8 year old daughter in hand. A 12 year old in the backseat hollers out, mamma, the teachers at the door, to which the mother nearly swallowed her tongue, and quickly turns the music off. My daughter said I wanted to tell her if you're not ashamed of that filth you listen to and let your children listen to, then why turn it down on my account? She must be a proud mom letting her daughters hear that filth, degrading women to less than dirt. So, that's 10 more children and several girls who will grow up sadly with that crap music and sadly enough, the music producers making a mint off of their ignorance. Some can't afford lunch money, but they can sure darn afford a $20 CD full of filth. But, if course, when the kids are repeating this nasty lyrics in class and have to be reprimanded, I suppose the parents think that the teachers' fault too.
I don't listen to music, but I have the TV SM
on in the room next to me. Can't miss my Golden Girls. It just relaxes me and I feel like someone is here and the mood is lightened if I am stressed.  
What kind of music is on your
Mine is a mixture of 60s, 70s, 80s, and everything in between.  I have Van Halen, Elton John, Fergie, George Jones...just to name a few.  My kids listen to it and can't understand the combination, but it's just music I like.  So, what's on yours? I'm looking for some suggestions to add to my collection...
Anyone download music?
I just want some songs to burn onto a CD to listen to in my car or my home stereo.  I don't have any fancy iPod or MP3 player.  My brother uses a site that does file sharing and I cannot/do not want to use a site like that.  I don't trust them!  Are there any sites that don't do file sharing?  I looked at Napster, but it won't give you the price unless you fill in all of your info (name, e-mail).  Any ideas?  Thanks!
Turn on some music (sm)
go to a tanning bed if you do that sort of thing...maybe after work? Sounds like Seasonal Affective Disorder?

Walmart here has the music CD for $10 (sm)
Not sure if they have the actual cartoon...I love how it puts the season back in the right perspective. I also think the fact that I have been watching it around Christmas since I was a kid has something to do with it helping me feel "Christmasy". The CD is really good though-I've seen the cartoon so many times I can picture it while I'm listening to the music and doing other things.
At least you've got music - LOL (nm)

forgot to put in music...

Downloading music

You have to download the music to your computer, then you can save it on the CD.  I use an iPod, but they do have restrictions.  IPods are set up as MP4 files rather than MP3, so you can't transfer the music back and forth from an iPod to say, a Zune.  I love the iPod and iTunes, though.  I'm big on the instant gratification aspect of being able to download the music, movies, and TV shows that I want.  I have 2 iPod Video and I use them both quite a bit.


About the free music - I don't know about those.  It's my understanding that any free music site is basically illegal (I could be wrong, though).  I've always paid for mine, so I don't know much about it.


Any Music lovers out there?
My anniversary was last week, and I had no idea what to get my husband, so I made him a guitar pick necklace. He really liked it and I had two or three people ask me to make them one, so I decided I would make some and see if people liked them. Here's a picture of a few I made.

If anyone's interested let me know! Or if you have any ideas! I went to Micheal's this weekend and bought a bunch of goodies so I'll be making more!


How do you get your neighbor to keep the music down
This is very frustrating for us. There is a degenerate 16-year-old kid next door (bully of the neighborhood). When his parents are not home (or at least we believe they are not home) he sits outside and plays music (if that's what you call it) in his car radio. It vibrates inside the house and all we can hear is THUMP, THUMP, THUMP, THUMP. DH has asked him over and over and over to keep the noise down, and he turns it down, that is until the next day or two. I was thinking of asking our police to come by and explain to him and his family of a noise ordinance in this town, but they've cut back so much in police don't think they would do that. - Okay as I'm writing DH just got so p.o.'d he flew out the door and is going asking him to keep it down, but this will only last for the day.

Anyone have any suggestions? Have concerns about getting his parents involved cos the last lady who told him to do something he muttered under his breath (not loud enough for her to hear, but we heard him) "Shut the F up or I'll come and kill you".

Okay, another part of the story. DH just came in and evidently the mother is home. DH was going to say something but the kid was out in front with his little gang friends and he said to his mother "hey mom, the people down around the corner just complained about the music. How could she hear it all the way down there. We were here first so they can move. I think I'll go down and pee on her lawn". So...evidently the mother does know. DH just looked at him and didn't say anything and the degenerate walked over to the car and turned down the music.

Any suggestions.
