just went out for a bit, all thats open are bars and 24 hr restaurants. about 20% of shops are boarded? a lot of taped windows. i didnt do either to mine here. that tape is a bitch to get off!
Coming from a Gulf Coast hurricane veteran, the tape is pointless. You either board up, get hurricane shutters, or that new Fabric Shield that attaches directly to the outside of the window frame. The tape is just a messy throwback to the days when we didn't know any better. nod

Quote from stormy_cat :
I am so sad tonight, the kitty lovers will understand.

I have 3 cats (had 4, but 1 was put down last yr), and they are a part of my family.

Anyway Jasmine my 19 yr old black kitty, started losing weight before we went on vacation. She has been dropping weight, but still up and around and didnt seem to be in any pain. I just figured she was starting to feel her age. Well within the last week she has been sleeping under Dh's desk a lot.

3 days ago I saw her and she had some matted fur on her cheek, but she was drinking so I didnt think anything of it. Dh tried to wake her up under her desk later that night and she wouldnt respond until he petted her. Today she came down and got up on the couch and gave me a look, the please help me look. That is when I saw it. She has what appears to be a large gumball mass on her cheek, and a huge mass on her side.

The thing grew in 3 days. I am so brokenhearted. I feel like crap for not taking her to the vet sooner, but she was just an old kitty, know what I mean. Now she has a huge tumor growing and her eyes said it all to me. Also when I call her she doesnt come any more, I think she is deaf now as well. All in a few weeks.

I am taking her in tomorrow. I have been crying half the night. I will miss my old girl.

thanks for listening to me ramble
I am so sorry Frown We lost our kitty in February. I'm still upset about losing him Frown

Quote from dpags :
Hi ladies! All this laundry talk is making me want to go wash some clothes * NOT * LMAO.

What I do when I leave laundry in the washing machine and it starts to get all smelly is first, swear like a truck-driver, then either re-wash right away with some Lysol (pourable) or dry them first (without dryer sheet - why waste it) and then just re-wash as normal.

The whole idea is that mold starts to grow so you either have to kill it with something like Lysol or kill it by drying it out in the dryer, then washing it away in the regular wash cycle. Always works for me and haven't ruined an article of clothing yet. I've also found that if you wash your whites with bleach you can leave them for an extra day without worry about "the smell".... but I've never done that Roll Eyes (Sarcastic) , uh, yeah....

Thanks for the tip Smilie

I was in a rush so I went to the party aisle at T and bought whoopee cushions What boy doesn't love those laugh out loud So the boys will get whopee cushions, 2 HW cars, a pencil, 1 set of camo temp tattoos, candy treat box, an eraser and a small note pad. Seems good enough to me

I'm soooo sorry stormy. Big hug to you and to Jasmine from our family and our 2 kitties. We are a house of cat lovers, and my cats are my babies, so I can totally relate. I wish I had more to say to offer comfort, but I know Jasmine is lucky to have such a good "kitty mommy" as you!

Quote from sd59 :

anyone want to come slap some sense into him for me?
Smack

Stay safe you guys!!!

I'm just catching up for the day after a looong day of shopping. 1 Wags run, 1 K run, and 2 T runs. Phew. I wanted to use up the bulk of my cleanteam Qs before they expire tomorrow. I think I have a few more coming in trade, and should still be able to use them, but they were also on sale this week Smilie

I'll post more on deals, but I have a funny story and a deal to share... first the funny story. My 2nd target today was a "durex" store. They only had 3 boxes left Sadwalk As I'm putting them in my cart, I realize that someone had taken the shrinkwrap off of one of them. I open the box and it is empty. Someone actually took the condoms out of the box and put it back. I was worried that the cashier might catch it, but nope... so I totally bought it! I bought an empty box of durex Dance14

As for the deal, someone posted about this, but it didn't totally sink in to me. LMK if you know who OP was b/c I need to rep the heck out of them. Anyways, run to T to check on the huggies diapers. Some of the older super mega packs are totally scanning item not found. Size 5 of the more expensive huggies (46 ct instead of 52 ct) was one of them. If you compare an old pack and a new pack, you can tell which ones will scan like this by looking at the image of the "diaper" where it tells you how many are in the pack (it will be kind of "ruffled"). Anyway, I told cashier that they were clearanced and I'd gotten them for $4.11 at another store. And then I used $1.50 Qs - super cheap huggies!!! There were more on the shelf than I could fit in my cart OMG

Where's that ass-spray when you need it?!? laugh out loud vomit

Stormy - sorry about your kitty - I had to put a baby kitty down a few years ago with kidney failure - as much as my animals get on my nerves, and believe me, they do get on my nerves, losing any one of them would be pretty hard...

DM - you sound like you're in a pretty crappy mood - hope you feel better soon!

I found some decent Qs tonight too at my local Dominicks (Safeway) - finally found a SoBe tearpad - Pretzels is going to enjoy the heck out of that one! I understand most of you are avoiding SoBe anyway LMAO . Also found some sweet $4.00 off wyb 2-6 pks Coke and 2 DiGiorno pizzas (coded for Coke). Not too many of those as they spit out of one of those little machines - waited around as long as I could to grab some.... watch for those! And some B1G1 Tava 4-pks peelies on the 4-pks (auto-adjuster!).

Hope everyone on the coast is safe - Why do these morons insist on standing outside as they sway back-and-forth with the winds AND with ELECTRIC microphones and TREES all around??? I keep waiting to see one of them light up - don't really WANT to see that - but expecting it any minute!!!

And yeah - Farrah hair! WTF!?! I wind up with Farrah hair every once in a while but I think she plans it that way!!!

I was planning to do some pantene deals with the bogo and the $2 Qs, but I think I'm going to pass on it. I have quite a few of the pantene bogos and $2 Qs if anyone wants to trade. I also have 4 or so of the TQ $3/2 peelies.

Quote from ~ Shoppingfan ~ :
Darn, I wanted in on that Wags deal. I have the Qs and everything but no RRs to start with.
Is that ok?? Can I still do it and pay a low OOP??? I need ink, stamps & a few other things. thanks for all the scenarios. wave
________________________________________________

Quote from sbhiggins :
If you want to do low OOP, do a Robi deal 1st for $2.97 + tax, then use your $10 RR on your next transaction w/the $10/40. Of course then you won't be able to buy more Robi in that transaction so Dontknow
That's what I was originally going to do...start with robi, get rr's, get oreocakesters and mouthwash. then more robi. but I had the $10/$40 and needed to go bigger. got some of the FAR and a few others. Visine is good $2 instore coupon and $2 manu on $3.xx Visine and $4.99 Quattro razors and use $4 manu.....stuff like that to build the order.

Quote from sd59 :
do those front loading not take regular detergent? Confused
what else would they take?

i have about 40 of the trial size ALL. that will last me a good year or two.
i dont do laundry much at all!
Quote from sbhiggins :
I multi-quoted everyone but it was a lot. . . so I'll just say, we've been using regular detergent for the last three years, I usually do 1/2 the suggested amount, though after reading the discussion here I may cut back further. My DH always believes that "more is better" so I have to intervene with him before he doubles the amount they suggest. Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)
Quote from ArielA :
Iagree about clothes not smelling as fresh, I love the way Tide smells on my clothes and now that I am using less, I can definitely tell the difference Frown

I also don't like leaving the door open, but the washer repairman said you should always. Frown Also he suggested using Washer Magic [summitbrands.com] once in a while to help with the smell and prevent mold. I think he said to use half a bottle at once, but I could be wrong. I still need to go out and get this stuff Smilie
Yes, we use regular Tide on our frontloaders, too. Just use 1/4-1/2 less than recommended. That's what our Sears salespeople said. Of course, they want you to buy the more expensive HE, but the regular can be adapted.

Actually the best advice is to WATCH the washer for several washes, adjusting the detergent as you go. Truly. Sit in front of the machine and relax. You'll be able to SEE what amount you need in there.

If you see suds, you've added too much. That's what does the damage to the machines. You have to think backwards from the top loaders where you're used to seeing all of the swishing and bubbles. That's a no go. But there is a fine line between not smelling clean/using too little detergent and using enough detergent/not the fresh fresh smell you're used to smelling with detergent alone. It just takes practice.

Plus, always leave the doors at least cracked which is what I do. I don't open them wide. Plus for all my whites I use bleach and that helps. I also use Oxi which someone else mentioned helps.

And Downey seems to help versus just using detergent alone for those who don't smell the clean smell enough. I heart me some Downey!!

Never heard of the Washer Magic. Might have to look into that! I just usually do a hot load of bleach water every once in a while.

I have oxy somewhere, I should try some of that!

I use downey as well, but very little of that too. That's what the repairman told me to do. Also he told me to use half a dryer sheet in the dryer, that would be better for the dryer. I have been doing that and I am seeing no difference which is good!


I wonder if my hubby hired this guy to tell me to be totally cheap bc it total seems that way now that I have talked about it all day laugh out loud

Now the Downey I do use more of, but still not as much as I did with a top loader. Since there's less water, there's less water/Downey ratio actually needed. I haven't decided if I like this Downey lavender stuff tho!
