Kittens!

Kittens are lovely! And good company that can't make you sick.

:)

Nothing brings good hope than good signs

Yeah, I just hope it's a good sign with this Coonoa Virus outbreak

Hi Ashleigh

YEA! for your new washing machine!!! :D

Life goes on and babies are proof of that.
How sweet to have kittens to watch.

I got my brand new mini washing machine and washing my clothes in my new home now.

Also last night a pregnant cat that been catching mice for me barged into my home. I was too tired to deal with her so I let her stay in. I woke up this morning to find 3 baby kittens in my house. As a religious person I hope this is a good sign from god.

Having one or two hundred dollars in cash on hand is enough to get by with.

Back in 1929-1930 when people first found out the economy was down they rushed to the banks to withdraw as much money as they can, overwhelming the banks causing them to crash and thus crashing the economy worse than it already was at the verge of.

The last thing we need is to retrigger the Recession or Worse cause another Great Depression, especially with the virus outbreak.

My sister also made a valid point to me we need to watch how much we with draw at once otherwise we could crash the banks thus crash our economy again. We need to be careful.

Hi Ashleigh

That's right
We should always have a little cash set aside.
Never know what or when something might happen.
If even just the gas station or store computers are down we would need to pay with cash.

Here's a bit of tip for the coronoa virus pandemic. It's not a survival tip, but it's still useful incase you survive long enough for a vaccine to be created. Save up on as much actual cash as you can. If something happens to the power any way to access your accounts digitally will be useless. So while you still can access your accounts withdraw some money and save it, and if your town last long enough with power for your next check, do it again. Just be sure to leave enough money in your account for any bills you pay digitally just in case. Even if nothing happens to the electricity at least you still have cash in case something else comes along that might wipe out electronics like EMP or Massive Solar Storms hitting our earth

Hello Ashleigh

Happy to know you are not infected with the virus and everybody you know is well too. :D

Sorry but I don't know about any online real time games.
Very good the cards are all in their box and not scattered all over.

By the way, if anyone know a good site where people can log in and challenge each other using their actual yugioh cards in a duel, please tell me. Although I don't want my cards scattered across my house, I hate not being able to use them in an actual card game.

Sorry about the long wait. It been busy week. My dad manage to spray my house once but our schedules haven't been able to meet for a second spraying. Especially since he got back to work and of course I been trying to get things clean up.

One thing I'm glad that I don't have to worry about from my old messy habits is any trading cards I have being scattered across my room/house. Thankfully I resolved that before I moved out when I got back to collecting Yugioh cards. Those cards are in a wooden box I got for Christmas one year, and although the cards are scattered in the box, better than on the floor.

Anyways, I thought I also post something to let you guys I'm doing fine despite this Coronoa Virus. Last I check no one I know been infected.

Thanks

The problem with cockroaches is that for every one you see there are at least 100 others still hiding in the home.
They live inside the walls and inside of everything in the place.

Keeping any food cans or garbage in the house is something they like.
They will also infest a house with no food at all but that has water, like a leaky pipe.

At this point I would say to not spend too much time trying to get rid of them.
They are impossible.
Just do whatever is necessary to get an exterminator in there.

Good luck :)

There are other types but i can't identify them. My indoor cat helps me kill them since she don't have mice to catch

Cockroaches

Ashleigh, can I ask what kind of bug problem you have that made you have to leave your job?
No judgement here - I am fighting a rat problem. And we have had a dear member whose home was being eaten by skunks.

I just wonder if we might be able to help you work on it.

If it works, I might have a cheaper alternative for bug traps until I can get my place exterminated than buying both traps and baits.

I know I should be throwing away the empty vienna sausages cans, and I have, but I discovered insects like to hang around them, so I baited one can and put it where my cat can't get into but bugs can and see if they will use it like a roach motel

Thanks, and as for shelter for the cats outside in case it the weather is bad, there's a couple of crawl spaces including one big enough for my dad to get under if I need him to check the plumbing that the animals can go under. I try to not let too many cats visit inside unless they know how to use the litter box, and if they do I only let them in for a night to play with my indoor cat who is fixed.

Hi :)

Hanging the cat food is a good idea.
High enough and most animals can't reach it.
Plus most animals won't even notice it's hanging up there.

I also figure it might be better hanging catfood than trash incase an animal does manage to get into it

I don't know why the nail was sticking out. It might be on purpose for hanging stuff up since my house was originally a storage building, but since it was on the wall and not on the porch I saw it as a blessing

I found a nail sticking outside the wall of my house, and instead of nailing it in, I put it too use, I have cats and even dogs from my dad and step mom's place come over and the cats help keep mice from coming inside so I help feed them and buy cat food for them and the one I have inside. So I took a bag of catfood I reserve for the cats outside and put it on the nail so it's hanging outside. It's too high for the animals to reach, but I figure if by chance they do rip the bag open at least the cats still get cat food.

Thank you.

WAY TO GO! for scrubbing the kitchen sink! :D

The best wat I have found to get cat hair off fabric like blankets and furniture and clothes...

Put on a pair of rubber gloves, the kind you use for general household chores.
Moisten them a little and then rub them on the article.
The cat hair gets all rolled up together into big bunches and can then be easily picked up.

My long hair cat here is starting to shed really bad now so I also need to vacuum and sweep more often.

The best way to tackle the cat hair problem is right at the source by brushing the cat often.
Still get cat hair everywhere but only half as much.

I also found my soup dispensing scrub brush I bought to help with the dishes. But before I use it, I'm going to make sure the sink isn't completely clogged with declogging liquid I also got a while back.

By the way, any advice about cleaning cat hair. It's not even spring yet, and my cat who isn't a year old until June at least decided to start shedding for the first time.

Scrub my kitchen sink today. It needed it

Just saying, as long as our nation survives this presidency and hopefully the next without going into a Civil War or worse United States falls as a country, in the end the presidents we live to see elected couldn't be worse than Buchanan

I also say no matter how bad current and former living presidents were, unless they led us into a Civil War or our country actually does fall, our 15th President Buchanan is the worse of the worse as his presidency led to the Civil War and that Lincoln winning his election was just an excuse the South use to break off from the Union

Inspired and encourage religion. I also believe Science is a gift given by god and what we able to learn from it can be proof of it, and that the parts of science that clashes with religion have missing pieces and gaps that connect the two and if we haven't found them maybe we're not meant to as long as we're alive

I got more trash picked up. I met my step-sister's boyfriend who is a former army sergeant and a cleaning type OCD. I admitted to him I actually envy his type of OCD as it seems better than my type. Envy maybe a sin in the bible (I am Christian but I believe religion is a choice and shouldn't be forced upon but to inspire others to join), but being a hoarder I can't help envy those with the need to clean even if it's excessively.

I don't let any other cats in my house unless I know they'll use the litter box, which I do clean even before I started working on my hoarding problem

I would take in a cat for my dad and step mom but other than my messes that needs clean up, two of the cats that are males aren't fixed and the only female isn't feeling well.

Besides I actually have one cat who fortunately not an issue when it comes to making messes as long as you don't leave paper towels in her reach. She's litter trained, fixed and well behaved.

The problem with my step sisters moving out is they have a hoarding issues with trash and junk (not so much of pets thankfully), so they most likely left their places a mess.

I'm not going anywhere from where I am at, hoarder or not. I got payments still on my place as it's actually a storage building converted into a nice cozy studio-apartment style house with so far only a bathroom as a separate room and a small closet (we planned to add a laundry room when it gets warmer, until then I'm not far from my dad's and step-mom's to do my laundry there) by my dad for me, and the bills to keep water and electricity running even for heat and AC is cheaper as my dad did a good job insulating the place

Sorry about the wait, the past few days been busy outside of home. My dad had surgery on his arm so he needed help taking care of the farm animals he and my step-mom has, their Donkey died, we ended up with all of my step-sisters cats and dog when she moved out of her place on the same land they own we ended up taking care of them now, and of course my other step sister decided to move to a different place without telling anyone until today. But today i did pick up around my bed so I'm getting back into the swing of things. It helps that my younger brother decided to come visit on mondays from Cincinatti to help our dad and step mom out

I didn't get to add this last night, but I got a bag of trash out last night.

That is a great start!

Today I dusted for cobwebs and picked up some trash.
