Cathy C

I'm a little tight on money and was wondering if anyone knew of any homemade cat toys. I've googled some and made those but my cat loses interest so fast.

please keep in mind that i have NEVER had a cat before, this is a stray, and i think he's about 6 months old (based on what i've read on the internet, although i know it's difficult to judge a cat's age).

i just don't understand cat behavior hahaha.

if i'm coming up to my kitten (who has been around for about 3 weeks), sometimes he'll raise his back and turn sideways. i read online that cats do this if they feel threatened, etc. however, he doesn't hiss or try to attack me, he just does the back thing.

i've tried making myself known before i come up to him by saying his name, clearing my throat, or just plain making some type of noise. i figured by now he knows i feed him and keep him around lol but i dunno? cats confuse me

Hi! I am a hearing person, I have hearing parents, and I know absolutely no one who is deaf or who knows sign language. I'm learning sign language, but I find it difficult to sign with other people when I haven't met them, haha. So I was wondering how I could meet deaf people? I'm from Houston, and I've already seen houstondeafnetwork.com but it says nothing about hearing people. That also leads me to wonder if my actions would seem rude to someone who is deaf? Thanks for any help!

well, it's not intense.

but basically, i'm going to a restaurant later (applying to be a waitress) and i'm assuming they're going to take my application and then do a mini-interview then (based on previous experiences).

so i don't know what to wearrrrrrr. lol.

honestly, i don't have alot of experience. i work at sonic right now, as a skating carhop.

the restaurant that i'm applying to is a 4 star restaurant.

i was thinking! jeans, heels, and maybe a cute top? however, i just bought a romper and wanted to put it to good use..

any ideas?

okay! so my best friend and i are possibly going to the same college. if we do, she wants to room with me. .. i don't know if i want to room with her? we would most likely get along fine b/c we've been best friends for 7 years or so and we know each other's habits, tendencies, etc.

HOWEVER everyone keeps telling me to find a new person.

welllll, i'm thinking if i roomed with her that i would room with someone i know and then meet people who i don't.

but if i don't, then i meet a new person instantly and i can still meet up with her.

not sure what to do :\

i'm sure it's a somewhat popular song, 'cause i've been hearing it in stores and stuff.

all i know is at the beginning, it says "there's a ghost in my house" or something like that.

it's NOT band of horses.

i work at sonic as a skating carhop. it sucks, as you can see.

i hear texas roadhouse is hiring hostesses.

now, if i get the job, how would i quit at sonic? would it be acceptable to just walk in and say "i quit" ?

I walk pets in my area (I'm 17). I was wondering if there was somewhere online where I could advertise myself? (sounds dirty, ha ha ha).

I don't want craigslist or anything.. sketchy.

I am 17 and I live in Houston, TX. I was wondering if there were animal organizations where I could volunteer - maybe clean the cages, play with the animals, etc.

Please note: I do not want to foster the animals and I cannot donate. I just want to volunteer.

I am 17 years old, I live in Houston, Tx. (It is soooooooo freakin' hot.)

I was thinking $10 per walk. I don't like charging per minute/hour/time. :\

And then I was wondering - do walkers usually drive over to pick up the dogs? Because I can't have them drop their dog off (I have dogs).

OR should I just walk one dog at a time? That seems a bit smarter.

ahh, it was sort of r&b, sort of rap?

"i'm a winner winner ?"

it was on the radio !

and it sounded like it had justin timberlake in it, but i'm not positive.

i thought it was called culture studies or something, but i looked it up on collegeboard.com and couldn't find anything.

(i know, i didn't search for long or put effort into it. but hey, gimme a break, eh?)

are there any majors that have to do with culture?

i'm not talking about history, psychology, or sociology. so if you put those, someone should delete you. forreal.

Ingredients

1 pound cube steak

salt and pepper to taste

all-purpose flour for dredging

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 medium onion, sliced

1 clove garlic, minced

1 green bell pepper, sliced

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

so my question is, can i substitute the water for beef broth? all beef broth?

i read the reviews on the website and no one has put all beef broth.

i'm not that great at cooking, i'm more of a baker, this seemed easy enough to try for dinner, so can someone please help me?

something simple and quick, but really good.

thank youuu.

that's all i remember about it.

he's a pom.

it was a cooked bone.

i'm assuming he's trying to poop it out.

he's eating regularly, and isn't whimpering or seem in pain, except for his butt.

he checks on the bleeding himself.

it's not even a DARK red blood, it's just shy of being red, maybe fruit juice red.

should i be concerned?

is there any way to bandage it?

my dad will admit that he does have fleas, however, he keeps insisting that i use the flea and tick shampoo that i use every week. it does NOT WORK, i'm not an idiot. so i can't go to a vet because he's not going to take them. anything else i can do? anything at the store (not vets, because i can't go) that you know for sure works?

and do you think i could change the half and half to 2% milk?

someone changed it to 1% milk and said it turned out great.

8 (4 ounce) boneless pork loin chops

1 teaspoon salt, or to taste

1 teaspoon pepper

1/4 cup and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

2 pinches ground allspice

2 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 cups apple cider

1/4 cup cornstarch

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup half-and-half or cream

DIRECTIONS

This recipe's Ingredients were scaled to yield a new amount. The directions below still refer to the original recipe yield of 2 servings.

Season pork chops on all sides with 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; set aside. Combine the flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, nutmeg, and allspice in a plastic bag. Toss pork with seasoned flour to coat, and shake off excess.

Heat butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until lightly smoking. Sear pork until golden brown on each side, about 3 minutes per side. Pour in apple cider and bring to a boil. Turn heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until pork is fork tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove pork and keep warm; increase heat to medium-high. Dissolve cornstarch in the chicken broth, and stir into simmering cider; cook for a minute or two until thickened. Stir in the half-and-half and simmer until hot. Serve sauce over the pork chops.
