I'm sorry. Been there, done that and it's not fun. I hope your mom is feeling better soon! Hugs to you all. My words and experience exactly. Watching a parent age is heartbreaking.

Day 3 and it's like a whole different kitten. She doesn't hiss or run and hide when we go into the room. She comes up and wants: #1) food. #2) loving. She has also pooped and peed in the litter box, which makes this mom very very happy. Right now she's getting 1/3 can (3 oz cans) of cat food every 4-5 hours. So it comes out to about 2 cans per day. We'll cut that back when she puts on a little weight-she's still very bony (but it's so cute to see her pudgy belly right after she's eaten). This is adult food but I'll get some kitten formula when I get to a store. I'm not sure if she's big enough to eat dry food. Her teeth look pretty small from a distance. Is it okay to put a few kibbles in there for her to nibble on? Congratulations on all these milestones.

Well we had huge progress. She will now let us pet her but any sudden moves and she's hiding again. She was purring, making biscuits, etc. She's shaking her head a lot so she either has ear mites or yeast (we have one cat that has recurring yeast in his ears and the vet said it's pretty common). Unfortunately she's sleeping in the litter box. I put a better bed in there so hopefully she'll sleep there instead. Congratulations--it is always memorable the first time that a kitten purrs for you. If she was purring and making biscuits, she is very happy.

So she is very scared in the bathroom. Should we leave her alone or should we go in there to get her more used to us? I feel like she would like to be left alone but if we do that, she'll never get used to having people around. Visit her. You may want to sit on the floor and read to her. She can get used to the sound of your voice and presence.

The kitten is beautiful. You are doing good things for her by feeding her and keeping her safe. Thank you for helping her.

I am a third-generation dish lover. When I was growing up, our everyday dishes were Harlequin. Homer Laughlin, makers of Fiesta, also made Harlequin, which was sold at Woolworth’s to those who couldn’t afford the real Fiesta. So, I excitedly began collecting Fiesta in 2005, when I bought Scarlett. I have two Heather (only made 2006-2009), two Scarlet, two Evergeen (love, but only made 2007-2010), two Cinnabar, one Cobalt, one Plum, one Ivory, two Marigold, four Turquoise (love), and one Flamingo (only made for about one year). I plan to buy Claret but haven’t yet. I have a large platter and large pitcher in Evergreen. I have several of the tiny pitchers in various colors. Yet, I loved learning about Fiesta and collecting it, but I didn’t like when HL switched to “earth tones.” Happy collecting to you!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!! While out Christmas shopping, I saw the Claret. It is too dark for me, so I didn't buy it. It is like a darker version of Cinnabar.

They are beautiful. They make me missed Boots, my sheltie mix, my soulmate dog, and Laddie, my sheltie. They wait for me in the next world.

Ugh, something to look forward to?? It has to be really windy out and your hair has to be pretty long for it to happen - that's the length where you can start measuring to see if it is long enough to donate! 12 inches

Congratulations and best wishes for DD. Rush was not that stressful for me 25 years ago, and as an alumna, I can say it's not that stressful now.

Never horizontal stripes. I have two favorite shirts with vertical strips, and a shell/sweater with diagonal stripes that I love. My question is "Why do they have so many men's shirts with vertical strips and few for women?"

My complexion is too pale also for me to go gray. And, I have a great, young stylist, and we have fun with different colors. As far as texture, my gray hair is courser.

I'm proud I ... -have beautiful handwriting--printing and cursive. I get compliments from twenty-somethings on my cursive. -have two bachelor's degrees and a master's degree. They were a lot of work, and I'm glad it's over. -I have learned to keep focusing on my goals when challenges come up. Age and experience help.
