    Sean O'malley's Orphaned Cats

    Colleen O'Malley Weber, Coach Sean's sister, asked that Sean's Facebook friends put out the word that Sean's two cats need a home. They've been described as sweet-tempered female short hairs, about five years old. For reasons not given, no family members are able to take them in so the poor...

    Shrinking Calves?

    I'm hoping for some thoughts about my big paranoid issue/obsession. I apologize in advance for whatever portion of my story many of you have already heard: My calves are a hideous 19" at their widest point. Between trainers and pt's, opinions are split over whether my calf composition is...

    Two Pit Bulls Just Killed My Cat

    I was upstairs and I heard a horrible ruckus. At first, I thought someone was breaking into my house. When I got the door open, two pit bulls were on my porch, one snatched up Little Miss Muffet, one of two stray kitty's for which I've been caring, and they both tore off into the street. I...

    My body thinks I'm diabetic...

    Does anyone know what it's called when your body behaves like you have diabetes but you don't (Diabetes... something)? Constant thirst and chronic bathroom trips bothered me and got me in trouble at work. I told my doctor that I thought there was more than one issue at work. Tests...

    I feel REALLY cheesy asking, but...

    ... I submitted a photograph for a contest for a free trip and I hope my Catheites will give me a little love. http://apps.facebook.com/goaheadtours/contest/1/72 It's a terrific photo of a Santorni sunset overtop a hillside church but it's not getting half the love it needs to help me...

    Kitty tail (tale?)

    I was lying in bed about a week-and-a-half ago running my hands down my Gracie's thick fur when I felt a lump on her right hindquarters. Gracie is my hyper-affectionate, huge (18 lbs), furry kitty who purrs like a mac truck. I can't stress enough what a sweet, loving creature she is and how...

    Pitchman Billy Mays Dies...

    ...at age 50. You know, the in-your-face OxyClean guy? He was found dead at his home. No signs of foul-play. I saw no mention of an autopsy and the family is asking their privacy be respected. Ed, Farrah, Michael, and now Billy Mays. Sad and strange.

    Iran

    The courage of people there is blowing my mind. But I'm so worried for them all.

    Push-Up ?

    Okay, I can't count how many times I've read that my chest should touch the floor when I lower down. If I were able to get that low there is no way I'd have strength enough to get back up. I'd just collapse. I only just last night finally had the strength to get off my knees and up on my...

    Australian Couple vs. Bank

    I can't believe nobody's brought this one up so I will. Okay, the Australian couple who abandoned their lives and went on the run when they realized their bank made a mistake and put millions into their account... I'm too freaking honest to do it myself but I hate banks and am totally rooting...

    East of Eden, the miniseries

    Is FINALLY on dvd at Amazon.com. So very many times I have wanted to recommend this awesome production to all lovers of great stories and brilliant performances but it was out of print. I have an old scratched-up VHS tape and had long gotten out of the habit of checking over at Amazon to see...

    Cats and white leather furniture?

    Okay, my indoor cats are all front paw declawed (yea, I know). My next sofa has to be white or close to it or my tiny living room will look like a closet. However, with five (soon to be six now that I only have one remaining Kitchen Cat) cats I got to wondering if leather would be the smartest...

    Dumbbells vs. Barbells

    I was just wondering if anyone else here has a distinct preference for one over the other, particularly due to physical limitations on upper body moves. I pretty much NEVER use a barbell for upper body because I have issues with my right elbow that require me to be able to adjust the position...

    TRX?

    Okay, I keep reading about TRX Suspension Training (www.fitnessanywhere.com) on other sites but I haven't bitten yet. Today I got a Precision Nutrition article in my email about some study PN's Dr. Berardi, Alwyn Cosgrove and Fraser Quelch (inventer of TRX/founder of Fitness Anywhere) did...

    One of my beloved Kitchen Cats...

    Those of you familiar know I have 5 cats (2 who go out and 3 who're strictly indoors) and 3 orange boys, unrelated to one another, who are in/out kitties but whom I keep in my downstairs kitchen. Thus, I call them my Kitchen Cats. I worked 2 hours overtime tonight and pulled up in front of my...

    Weight Loss: A fun reverse

    Those of you who got fat and have struggled with your weight for many years will know what I'm talking about here. Remember how you felt one day as you walked towards the double glass doors on a building and saw your reflection in the glass? You saw this big, fat chick and you were stunned...

    Pidgy died.

    The people at the wildlife rescue said she had blood in her mouth and several deep, small puncture wounds. She passed yesterday. Since she made it through that first night I had such hopes. And yet, I'd heard most birds attacked by cats die in just this way. I didn't think to ask about her...

    Update on Gallbladder/Pidgy

    Gallbladder: Just got back from the hospital. Not a thing wrong with my gallbladder! And that spot still hurts... I was at the hospital for 6 hours just to get an ultrasound because the emergency room was STACKED. The doctor who analyzed my results believes I did, indeed, pull an abdominal...

    Here's your HEARTWARMING Weekend Thread:

    If you've read my other thread you know I'm home sick, dealing with what appears to be a gallbladder issue. I'm fairly certain surgery will be involved and am trying to put off heading to the hospital until Monday, for obvious reasons. I'm hurting but not in so much pain I can't last, it just...
