Removable Glue?Does anyone know the name of the glue that is removable on paper. I received a magazine and there was an advertisement that was glued onto one of the pages.

I have been trying to the longest to find out what kind of glue that is, as it would be helpful in some of my crafts. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Let me know what you think. Thanks.

Fed Up with Cat Clawing Everything?My beloved cat is like part of the family, but I have just about had it with his clawing everything. My leather chair is wrecked, my cabinets in the kitchen are all clawed up from when he is reaching up to get something.
