Profile For pam2cats - Gramma Packrat

 

I'm back after moving from RI to MA. Anyway, I'm a 71-yr-old grandmother of 2. (Children of my only child(son). You can guess how many cats I  I have LOL/ Had more but I now live in a very small senior apartment.. Always was thrifty but now on (low) fixed income, even more necessary. But I make it like a game.  Bye, Pam

RE: Organizing Photos Using a Shoe Organizer
As the oldest member of my family I just became The Keeper of the Family Photos. Eventually I want to put them in albums or scrapbooks. In the meantime I have to sort them. And this will work very well. ... View related article.

RE: Scrapbooking Ideas For Old Photos
I am in the beginning stage - collecting things for scrapbook. However I am not very artistic. My purpose is to preserve the history of my family. Instead of making a scrapbook OF my grandkids, I am making one FOR my grandkids. They will be in it, but most of it will be photos, newspaper clippings (copied to last longer),etc of their grandparents, great-grandparents,etc. And notes about the history of our families as far back as I can go. My hobby is genealogy. Scrapbooking is, I hope, a great way of displaying what I have found and saving it for future generations. ... View related article.

RE: Patterns for Barbie Furniture
Years ago I found patterns for Barbie furniture in the sewing department, or fabric department, or wherever sewing patterns are found. I never did make them but I did make dollhouse furniture in 12/1 size (regular size dollhouse) from a sewing pattern (maybe Simplicity) and it was easy and fun and looked great. The base of the furniture is made from cardboard and then you sew what looks like upholstery,etc. The Barbie furniture would probably be similar. Or even better now (updated) ...

RE: Do Fleas Cause An Odor?
Fleas do not cause an odor on a dog. I had only one dog that ever had an odor. i kept giving him a bath and it didn't help. Turned out it was "gunk' that built up in his EARS. Cleaning ears (carefully) regularly was more important than baths.
Go easy on the dawn in baths. I read somewhere that it's toxic in large doses (even through skin). ... View related article.

Could you explain just what an Elliptical is? Some kind of exercise equipment? Bicycle? I think that we here in US don't know. ... View related article.

RE: Neighbor's Cat with Day Old Flea Ridden Kittens
the post about calling Animal Control or a Shelter is absolutely right. The mother and the kittens will be taken care of. Which is the most important thing. And hopefully the "owners" may be held responsible. ... View related article.

RE: Chatterbug Phone Service Reviews
I found online that it's a brand new technology. Connect it to phone and phone line. When you dial 1 to make long distance call it diverts it from phone co. to CB and call goes through them. Sounds really good to me. You might have to pay $20-$30 for the gadget and then $9.95 per month. However I'm not sure if it's really available yet. If it is, it would be worth it to try. But I have a feeling the phone companies may be fighting this. Although I don't have long distance on my home phone so I wouldn't be taking $$ away from anyone. Let me know? ... View related article.

RE: Cat With Excessive Shedding
I use a comb (any people comb) on my indoor cats. who shed a lot! And they seem to like it. btw, A carpet sweeper picks up fur just as good as vacuum cleaner and you don't have to use up all your vacuum bags. I wish I knew an easy way to get it off me but the only thing I use is a damp sponge and that's not too great. I do find that wearing denim is good. The fur/hair does not stick to it. ...

RE: Dishwasher Not Running Hot Water
Dishwashers use either the water as it is from your hot water system or it can have an additional heater inside dishwasher. If the heater inside your dishwasher is not working (they do wear out) it has to be replaced. It's something like an electric burner on stovetop. I think it "plugs in" someplace. I had to have one replaced once but I didn't do it myself. So that's all I know. ... View related article.
