Regular Tide has a nauseatingly strong scent and re-washing and double-rinsing is not enough to get rid of it. Please check with an otolaryngologist and see if you are perceiving smells accurately. Obviously, the reason to have healthy olfaction is to tell if your food is safe, and that nothing is on fire. Artificial/ chemical added smells/ scents are so strong that they make a lot of people sick: migraines, allergies, asthma, etc. So no, you do not want to smell strongly like the cheapest industrial chemical odors.

Is she on all wet/ canned food? Switch her to only Fancy Feast Classic pate or similar, and see what happens. Cats need water, and get it through their food. Dry food is not adequate for several reasons. Dehydration/ overly concentrated urine will make them uncomfortable, and eventually cause kidney problems. The dry food will also make worse any tendency she has to develop feline diabetes.

She needs to reinforce her fencing. Add a layer of four-foot wide, 1/2 inch mesh hardware cloth all around the whole run, and bury the bottom several inches into the ground. She can roof the run with chicken wire wired to the sides. Plug every space with patches of hardware cloth. Good luck.

Hasn't his attorney contacted yours? Oh oh.

(I love the name Anne Thrax. There must be more in the set... Polly O'myelitis ? Chicken Pox ?

He's so full of sh*t that he can't talk fast enough to justify his nonsense. Why subject yourself to unfair judgement? Find someone with integrity.

Teach proper cat care, please. Fat is not funny, it's unhealthy. A loose cat is a dead or injured cat. Someone must take responsibility for him.

(Some states?) New Jersey has (had) a law in place that an underage person (I never saw anyone younger than 17) or couple seeking to get married has to appear before a superior court judge, who may grant the permission to marry, or who can request a report prepared on the underage couple/ person. There is no barrier to outlawing child/ underage marriages. The couple has the option to petition the court. I think they should be subject to scrutiny and have to demonstrate that there is no coercion. When there is any age difference, (more than a year or two) there is coercion, in my opinion.

Oh, shit, babe, you are in an abusive relationship. Plan your safe exit, get the financial documentation and instruments you will need, and get out.

You will see them there. I don't "think" cats go to heaven, I know it.

Salt, goose fat, and large amounts of sugar also preserve food, and I'm not 'cleaning' with them, either.

Nope, no good evidence.

ESH That's you, the airline and their policy, and the flight attendant. When we traveled with our children under two years of age, my husband also cheaped out by planning that they should sit on our laps the whole way. Yes, airlines allow this, but it is a terrible way to travel for everyone involved. Sure, it works with an infant (under 6 months) but if the child is any older, it's a burden to the other passengers, you, and the child. You expected to be given a free seat, that is unreasonable. You have to buy another seat, you're traveling with another entire person.

And this is why this family is seeking cooking help. They have no concept of what cooking and shopping involves, costs, the time it takes, or how to do it.

No nonsense

No. Vinegar is inadequate as a cleaner. Use ... a cleaner ... to clean your home. Not a food item.

Chat GPT can only give you the trends that were fed into it. If a lot of people make the same mistake, so will Chat GPT. Find a qualified source of information. Consider Strunk and White's Elements of Style.

Interesting. I was a good deal better when visiting FL, but the allergies came back a day or so after returning north.

Thanks. Will endeavor.

I mis-read it, too. He won't be yukking it up when someone sues his ass for mislabeling food.

I've recently re-read Wrinkle, and I found it overly earnest, preachy, and without humor, similar to Flatland. Just tell that Flatland gets better?

Consider that many US plants and trees are dormant for the colder months. Then, in spring, in a wave across the country, every plant, tree, flower ... er ... releases its reproductive organisms at nearly the same time, desperate to complete its... mission... in a short season. Then you have grass and ragweed joyfully making 'hay fever season'. India's plants have all year to complete their cycles, no desperate bursts needed. Totally different plants, too.

I've tried to read Flatland, and I will try again. Can you please tell me it gets better than A Wrinkle in Time with the plot distilled out?

Order the real stuff overnight from Amazon or get from your local pet supplies store.

Dismissive, contemptuous, demeaning, belittling, disdainful, and snide.
