Tess, I'm sorry for your loss and I'm sending caring thoughts your way. We lost a precious kitty in January, and I understand well that "void" you describe. It's so hard! It sounds like Zeus had a great life with you (and what a beautiful boy)! Take care, Allison

Susan, Just a note to say I'm thinking of you and sending good thoughts to Sadie! I'm glad she's feeling somewhat better with her new treatments. My sweet 17 year-old kitty Ivy died in early January, after years of going through periods like the one you describe with Sadie. The good news...

Happy Valentine's Day to Pete, too! He's darling -- and he really loves his kitty, doesn't he? Adorable! Allison

I'm "on the fence." In the beginning, I thought I just wouldn't be ordering... Now, the more we hear, the more I'm thinking I *need* it. I imagine I will become one who will order when the price increase is announced! Allison

My newspaper had a far-too-graphic review of Untraceable yesterday, and my reaction was the same as yours! Just the review was too much for me. WHY are movies like this "necessary?" I can't see any purpose at all. Allison

I'm sending thoughts and prayers your way! Having lost one of my precious kitties this week (as you know), I understand your heartache. And I'm so sorry for the worry that comes along with Tipper's illness. You know we'll be waiting to hear how things go! I know the support I got here this...

Thank you all, so much! This kind of support truly makes the sadness a little lighter. I know you understand how it feels to lose our dear Ivy. Thank you! Allison

I wanted to say thanks again to everyone for their kind responses to my post about my sick cat, Ivy. This morning, she clearly was not better, and even weaker than yesterday, so I called and arranged to have the vet come give her the shot at noon...but just a while later, sweet Ivy managed to...

Thank you, everyone, for your thoughts and good wishes for us. I know it's true -- if this strong little kitty has decided not to eat or drink, and if she's too weak to walk, that gives us a lot of information. I don't want to decide for her too quickly, but if in a day or two she's still in...

Hi, all. I know we've visited this subject before, but it has new meaning to me today... My 17-year-old cat has a long history of health problems, but she's a tough girl and has bounced back from some serious challenges (she's a great example of the Nine Lives idea!). But in the last 24 hours...

I don't know if you're anywhere near a TJ Maxx, but they have very nice sheets and other bedding at equally nice prices! They're also a great resource for towels. Good luck! Allison

Hello! Just chiming in to say congratulations on your approaching graduation -- and graduating with a 3.3 or 3.4 is fabulous! I got my BSN in May (2007) and am just finishing my first 6 months in a cardiovascular unit. It's all true -- the learning curve is steep, but experiences build on one...

Pure lanolin is good for healing cracks. I've found it at local "health food stores," and Lansinoh makes a tube for breastfeeding mothers that you can find in the baby section at drugstores. It's good for chapped lips, too! Allison

Thanks very much! I didn't remember one, but wanted to be sure. Allison

Hi, all! Can anyone tell me if Cathe has a strength workout using a body bar (rather than a barbell)? Thanks! Allison

I've wondered about this one, so I'm glad to see a good review! I'll put it on my list. Thanks for posting! Allison

RE: Hi, Belinda! I haven't read the book myself, but I have a dear friend whose 20-year marriage went through a truly horrible patch (husband had an affair, lost his job, basically "blew up" their world)...and through months of work together, my friend and her husband rebuilt their marriage...

I do know what you mean. I've had to deal with my FIL picking carrots out of his salad and my BIL asking his wife if watermelon is one his "diet." OK, I get the concept of glycemic index. But do carrots make us overweight? I think what pushes me to the edge is that they do these things in...

Another "vote" for Habitat for Humanity and the Red Cross, plus our local community kitchen and homeless shelter. We also donate to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, for research (my nephew has CF). Thanks for bringing this up -- we've been thinking about other avenues of giving, so it's...

I've had great experiences with Zappos, and they make shopping for my daughter's size 11 shoes so much easier! I've never seen any coupons or special offers, but their shipping and returns are wonderful! Allison
