Has anyone here heard of anyone having problems with Splenda (Sucralose)? I've been using it and I like the taste, but then decided to do a web search on "Splenda Dangers" and got more info than I'd bargained for. Of course there's all kind of panic-making misinformation to be had on the web,...

I thought you might be interested in this HSUS campaign to protect wild horses from slaughter. Wild horses were protected from slaughter for years, but this protection was stripped by a stealth change in the law last year. More than 40 wild horses have already been sold and slaughtered. The House...

I asked Victor and he kindly volunteered to use his PayPal account to collect donations for flowers for Tweed (Christina Werbsell) to send to her hospital room. There are several international florists that I've found online that we could use (I just Googled "International Flowers") if you all...

It's hard to lose those self-preservation instincts -- Tucker (our orange fomer feral guy) also spooks easily. Christine "Mark Edwards" wrote in message ... Last week, Buster was on the empty bed, practicing his bed...

Louie got a call from a headhunter today, and I told him I'd kick his tuchus if he didn't call back. They sound like they have something to offer. And the bank where I work started calling his present job for references, and boy did it hit the fan! He got emails and calls begging him not to be...

I'm a bad, bad daddy. Basho has been locked in the guest bedroom all morning. He's hungry and he's meowing pitifully to be let out and fed. But he's supposed to be fasting and with a full bladder, so he's locked in without food or litter box. :( The other cats keep trying to tell me that Basho is...

I was enjoying a beer(a Corana) tonight, and I was trying to finish it off when it slipped out of my hands, (SERIOUSLY) It slipped out just as Imp was walking under my chair... OOOPS!!! He got a bunch of it on his back. It must have been COLD!!! He ran

I just sat down to read the group before heading off to bed. I'm sitting here watching Cali play with a purple fur mouse next to momma Spot, who is trying to nap. Poor Cali is missing playing with her brothers, but is really getting on Spot's nerves. I looked over to see Cali rough bunny kicking...

I had to go to the bank so while I was out I stopped at the grocery store. Got home, put the groceries away. Persia's all sweet and chatty, "Hi Mom, where you been? Did you bring me anything?" Rubbing up against my legs, acting like I'd been gone for a year. I should have known something was...

Ugh. Me Stosh. Me want woman. Me pull woman by hair. She got nice long braid and I got nice strong teeth. She make yell and scream and I pull and STOSH!!! get the hell off my keyboard you little Juvie! My little macho man has taken a new tack in hair attack. Now instead of getting his paws...

Hi All, I just turned around to see what the pawing noise coming from behind me was. I figured it was Lady Jane Grey since pawing things to make noise in the middle of the night is one of her favorite pastimes. I was right about which cat it was, but the thing she was pawing was new. We just...

Yesterday, Nikki had a violent coughing attack, then threw up and was unsteady on her legs for a moment, then gasped for breath a few times before she seemed back to normal. I called TED and talked about the situation with her. I told her I'm not happy with giving Nikki Prednisone every day. She...

Like I needed more problems. Brando has been coughing up phlegm and getting hoarse. His symptoms are exactly like Merlyn's when she had her bronchitis a couple of months back. He's off to the vet tomorrow to see what's going on. At least this should be something fixable. Ginger-lyn praying...

Persia let me hold her front paw! She's normally so skittish about me touching her paws, I was skeptical. But she always reaches out to touch me and so I gently took her paw in my hand. This time she let me! Without yanking it away. She even licked my hand. AWWWW. What a sweet baby...

I don't know what's better: being purred to sleep by the rumbling motor that is Brandy, or being awakened by the rumbling motor that is Brandy. She's grown into a huge cat, easily 14 pounds, with huge paws and tail, and a purr that can be measured on the Richter scale. When she joins me in bed and...

She was fine this morning but about half an hour ago she starting puking. First up was her breakfast followed by several globs of foamy mucus. She's not interested in food and is laying around looking sicker by the minute, and drooling a bit. She has puked half a dozen times in the last half...
