at petsmart they have kitty wipes that say they help with allergins, not
sure if theyw ork but vet advised us to use them just after the fire to help with getting soot/smoke off of cats as she felt that a bath on top of the fire would be too traumatic... it worked for that, Lee "Tiger Lily" wrote in message ... oh Lee heartfelt pain and tears, yes, this ISN'T a negotiable issue! kate (down to 2 dogs from 4 dogs plus cat) [highly allergic to cats ![]() On 9/22/2011 5:36 PM, Storrmmee wrote: they have covered part of it, but we have reached the limit, but we have no choice but to stick where we are because of the cats, you simply can't rent with this many animals, and anywhere that would take us requires declaw, can't go there... i would be homeless first, Lee "Tiger wrote in message ...

Lee I don't envy you the process Lee, but please know best wishes are being sent your way. It sounds like you have thought this out well, and are fully aware of what you are getting into. Is insurance paying for your living accommodations until the house is ready to move into? (sure hope so!) kate |

It does take away all the tiresome stirring while things like pudding etc are thickening. It does work on it's own, battery operated, and just set in pan and set speed. When the mixture starts to get too thick for it, it does have a different sound so you can take over from there. :-) Cheri bwha ha ha this is EXACTLY what i need Cheri, I know what is going on the x-mas wish list! ta! (Amazon? i've never seen or heard of this before) kate (hates the time until right before thickening.......... how do you think Mom used to make gravy........ yup, i did all that "stir constantly" LOL) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZKGcbZ4etQ It demonstrates on YouTube. I bought mine at Walgreen's for I believe it was 9.99 in the As Seen On TV section. Also saw them at Rite-Aid and CVS. You can order from Amazon or the Robo-Stir site, but then you have the postage and the outrageous handling. Cheri ta, saved & filed......... now to find someone in the USA close to the main site and yada yada yada kate |

one of the things i figured out was that since we are having all vynle
floors a big vaccum isn't required, i was going to do the whole house vac, but after careful consideration i decided a roomba and a dust mop for the touch ups/when company was coming would be better... we have a small hand vac for dry spills, Lee "Tiger Lily" wrote in message ...

Lee Parsnips might taste gook, but are amlonst as carby as the potato. Make sure you whap up that cauliflower in nthe food processor if you want it like potatoes, as it is hard to chop it fine enough by hand. I might sugest a stick blender, but not to you, after your recent comments:-) Wendy |

How do you vacuum with all that clutter? Well the socks aren't normally there. If the cat toys are small you just push them around as you go. If large they have to be moved. |
