Fister's slimming diet!

Laundry???

Yes I must admit that I notice all sorts of clothes and things hanging on a dryer at our place quite regularly. There’s a cellar just under where we live with these weird machines. There are all sorts of buttons and “programs” you have to choose from.

I wonder what all that is about?

(… and by the way, don’t let me loose in the kitchen, it will be more trouble than it’s worth!)

I feed Storm and Sunny about 11/2 cups of dry food a day. Right now I'm feeding them 1 cup of Nutro Complete Care Weight Management Formula with 1/2 cup of Felidae mixed in. There's usually some Felidae left in their bowl in the morning. I think that they prefer the taste of the Nutro.

I forgot to mention that the 11/2 cups is for both of them to share. They share the same food dish.

LOL Too funny John.

I hate laundry! I made the foolish mistake when first "in love" of doing Don's laundry. Now he EXPECTS it. I have been trying to convince him there is no reason to wear clean underwear every day. Just turn it inside out and get at least two days out of it...... sigh...

However...I continue to be successful at ineptness at the grocery store and washing the dishes. I am just untrainable

Eeeeeeewwwww... (I know you're kidding)

You know why men feign ineptness - so they don't have to do any housework! They know if they bung it up everytime, we girls will come in and stop them from doing it. Then they can say, "hey, I offered, but you wouldn't let me....." I think I'm going to do that with the cooking and yard work from now on - I will suddenly have no idea how to operate a lawn-mowing contraption........

We have a really good family friend who lives on his own. I went to his house, and he had an ENTIRE laundry basket FULL of socks. I said, "Wow, Ted.. don't you ever fold your socks?" he said, "oh those are all dirty. When I run out of clean socks I just buy more." HE WASN'T KIDDING!! My aunt went to visit him and she ended up doing two loads of JUST socks for him..

My boyfriend knows how to do laundry.. I taught him how to use his machines at home and how to sort it, and he does just fine. I won't let him do mine though - too many "hang to dry" or "wash in cold only" stuff that he might overlook. He is a fabulous cook though, so it all evens out

As for kitty food - all three of the girls get a low fat treat of wet food for breakfast. Then they free-feed all day. It's a weight control/weight reducing mix with hairball control. Bassett is supposed to be on strictly weight reducing, but I've tried separating them for food and it's impossible.. they are too used to free feeding. So I mix some high protien stuff with Tilly and Nutmeg's breakfast so they get all the nutrition they need.

Aaahhh...I see you know exactly what I was getting at.

Unfortunately I made the same mistake when first "in love," but I was not smart enough to confine it to just the laundry. So unfortunately the house is my domain, but I learned my lesson and will not repeat the mistake with the motorhome.....unroll the awning? You mean me? or Drain the water tanks? What do you mean, I thought all that stuff just went down the sewer.....oh, you mean we're not hooked up to a sewer, well, where does it go then?

Sorry everybody, didn't mean to turn this into a laundry thread.

So, back to feeding. T & P each got 1/4 of a small can of wet food on Saturday as a treat.

Rocky could stand to lose weight but Taz needs to gain. However, they refuse to eat if fed in separate rooms, and they insist on sharing if fed in different bowls. I don't know how to feed then dif. foods if they won't cooperate.
So, I have one fat cat and one skinny one.

[mruffruff]

Sorry I don't have a laundry story, since I live alone. I'd like to get the dogs to try their paws at it though. They sure can create enough of it!

I have 5 cats in the cat room right now. My only male, Ghost, weighs in at 16 pounds. The vet said he's got to lose a few pounds. So every morning and every night I feed him 1/2 cup of diet Nutro. And all of the other cats get their own dish of 1/2 cup of regular food. Of course, they ALL get some wet food mixed in. But Ghost gets mostly juice. I watch while they eat.

Maybe that's why he hasn't lost an ounce in 6 months.

It was a dark and dreary winter day yesterday. I decided to make soup. I opened the can of chicken stock. I then sliced open the middle finger on my right hand on the edge of the can top. That was not in the recipe.

It is a rather nasty cut. I probably should have gone to the doctor and had stitches but then dinner would have been so late -- Sunday night and all.

It hurts and it is VERY hard to type with any sort of accuracy. I do however enjoy showing people which finger I cut.

I don't give Juni anymore dry food. Too long to explain. We also had a scary experience with some wet food, so, although it's more trouble, I give her daily a boiled chicken carcase (small, with only the neck and the back) - purchased from the best supermarket in Moldova. From time to time she gets some fish and some boiled vegetables - she likes carrot. She also loves eggs - but she gets them only once in a while and very well boiled. She's very happy and she gained some weight. Who knows Juni, knows that she needed a little more weight. And she doesn't beg as before (only rarely). I stopped eating products containing preservatives and E series additives, and I thought, it might be good for her to get natural food also. You may not agree with me, but it's my choice and she really looks to me healthier. Also, she's not been in heat from the moment I give her natural food (I tend to think, the dry food and the preservatives in the wet food increase hormone level). My vet agrees with my choice.
My laundry - what's laundry? I have someone to take care of the housework. I really have no time to do it myself.

Ah yes...someday...someday....in my dream world I think. I think I'm lucky I have a lady to clean the house, but one to do my laundry too, now that would be heaven.

Sara, I hope your finger doesn't get infected or anything. Even little paper cuts are no fun but big nasty cuts are really nothing to mess with, especially when they're on your main typing hand. Sounds like you best leave the cooking to Don from now on too. Now that would be pure heaven - no cleaning, no laundry and no cooking.
