My cat who is 3 years old this month jumped on the kitchen table when he was 2 and knocked over and broke a family heirloom. A 70 year old crystal fruit bowl that my grandparents got handed down to them at their wedding went shattering to the floor. My mom still doesn’t like my cat but I still love him to death. I can’t help it. Animals are alive and what he broke was a material object…it’s still sad, but I’m just sayin’

People keep saying that it’s normal and part of the healing process.

Sounds cool and all, but I’ve had my tongue pierced for 3 years and it’s still there. What causes that?

I am very sensitive to nickel; I can’t wear cheap earrings or my ears become infected – instead, I wear eyebrow rings in my ears and they work just fine.

You’d think a tongue barbell would be just like the eyebrow piercings (not having cheap metal in them). …..

I live in Miami (and hate it) and am very bored. I want to do something different on the weekend, that doesn’t involve the tourist areas of the city.
Something outdoors would be nice if possible, or just something interesting and not consumerism-driven.

I’ve been here for 3 years and been to Vizcaya, Fairchild gardens, and I live in the Design District, so I’ve already seen that.

What else is there to do? Please help! My butt is getting numb from sitting on this sofa!

I moved into my townhome last Feduary and it has a very small patio. It’s size is about 15×25 and it’s all concrete. I have some plants in pots that I have had for over 2 or 3 years but since I moved here they aren’t doing well. For example, my trumpet vine has not started blooming yet. last year it blooomed all summer and winter. My geraniums are pale and then turn yellow and dropping the leaves. Some are getting hollow and dark like if they are rotting. I don’t want to lose them, I inherited them from my dear grandmother.

It has black stains on it from leaves.
I have power washed it, and that faded the stains slightly.
The Patio is only 3 years old, and no it wasn’t sealed.
Will I be able to seal it after I get the stains out.

I heard I could use acid but I’m afraid of what that might do to it and the grass and other things around it.

I live in a duplex in the bay area. My next door neighbor has now tapes my wind chimes twice. Last night I posted a note at my door please do not tape my wind chimes.The last two renters never said anything about my wind chimes. I have been here 3 years now with no problems until now. I never complainted about the loud parties, all people coming and going all night.
sorry about the spelling of duct tape.
