Okay, I have three cats. Two are brother and sister and are small kittens. I believe they were born on 4/19 so they are not that old. The older kitten will be a year in August. Not this fourth of July weekend but the Sunday before, I went to a pet clinic and got them shots. My older kitten had already received shots but before but we got her vaccinated again. The two younger cats had never been vaccinated before and received the general kitten vaccines and a deworm. I also, received a free sample of kitten revolution. This is suppose to help treat parasites and what not. Okay, so this morning I wake up and there are worms everywhere! Yuck!!! I keep the litter box in the corner of the kitchen and there are these worms that look like maggots spread across the kitchen floor and behind the litter box. My house is clean and I am a vegetarian so I don’t know where the worms are coming from. I thought maybe a fly laid an egg near the litter box because I didn’t see any actual worms in the litter box?? What are your thoughts? Last night I changed the litter, swept the floor and wiped the floor around the litter box with Lysol wipes; I did not see any worms. This morning there must have been 15 worms scattered around the kitchen floor. Do you think maybe the kittens passed some worms in their stool last night? What kind of worms could these be if they are coming from the kittens because they were dewormed a week ago and given revolution. They were yellowish/whiteish with darker color “faces.” Help!
Yes, one of them had a really bloated tummy when we got him but it looks like it is deflating. Although, the girl looks like she is not gaining any weight and seems to be hungry a lot…as if she is not getting the right nutrients in her body. Anyways, it is gross. I did purchase a fecal test that I have to turn in on Sunday. So, I have to wait until then. Like I said the worms look like maggots or like long grains of rice. Any idea how long it will take for them to poop them all out?

he gets off the bar stool and falls flat on his face. " Bloody hell " he says " I didn’t think I had drunk so much" he tries to get up but can’t, he crawls to the door and pulls himself up on it, opens it and falls flat on his face again. He only lives 50yds from the pub so he decides to crawl all the way home. Gets there, crawls into bed, luckily with out wakening the wife. In the morning his wife says "You were down the pub last night and you came home drunk again" "How did you know?" he said " The barman just rang me he said you left your wheelchair there again."

if you laugh give a star if not oh well?




A blind guy on a bar stool shouts to the bartender, "Wanna hear a blonde joke?"

In a hushed voice, the guy next to him says, "Before you tell that joke, you should know something."

Our bartender IS blonde, the bouncer is blonde. I’m a 6′ tall, 200 lb black belt. The guy sitting next to me is 6′2", weighs 225, and he’s a rugby player. The fella to your right is 6′5" pushing 300 and he’s a wrestler. Each one of US is blonde. Think about it, Mister. Do you still wanna tell that joke?"

The blind guy says, "Nah, not if I’m gonna have to explain it five times."

It’s a funny thing. Looking at your own reflection,
only to realize you don’t recognize it.

Only to realize you don’t know the girl staring back at you.

I glide through the stacks of West Ridge Library. It started local, but it’s now the second largest library in the state. Three floors and my favorite happens to be the second. I make my way to my haven; the young adult section of the library where there are five long, metal shelves of teen rated fiction. There is a circle of purple, comfy chairs and four tall tables with barstools, two chairs to a table. The window stretches across the wall, revealing the snow-lit traffic below. I stand face to the heater, staring emptily at my reflection. My skin, as pale as a ghost, but I never understood that simile, anyway. My hair hangs to my chest, dark spiral curls in perfect locks. Curly hair. Super curly hair. A few freckles. Good eyebrows. Deep blue eyes. Awkward nose. I’m not awful.
I stay in this position for about three minutes, until I notice some kids on the purple chairs. Three of them, a girl and two boys. They’re dressed in some kind of school uniform, and they appear to be doing homework, but the girl is stretched across the taller boy’s lap and they’re giggling about something pretty hilarious. The other boy looks over at me.

What’s with the khaki?

I start scanning the books, but by now I can almost recite the first couple rows. I’ve read stacks of stories here, and each time I find a character I wish I was more like. I spend a lot of time here, and I like to read.

Either that or I’m just genuinely amazed by the new coffee machine on the first floor.
I make my way to school. It’s seven fifteen am, and I can see my breath in the air. The sun peeks from the south, just to get some rays through.

Just to light up the sky.

It paints the atmosphere a dark blue and leaves the south with a pinkish glow. The snow on the ground, small crystals packed tight. It looks so soft. It looks so gentle. Untouched by human hands, the snow lay there collected, showing me the only sign of simplicity I’d see all day. I walk through the doors of Westview Junior High School, the same doors that have haunted me for almost a year and a half. I gave my first push on this door last year when I left elementary behind and became a seventh grader, but things were much different then. It’s amazing how much someone can change over a year. The bell rings just as the heavy door slams behind me. The halls flood with empty heads, which will most likely be empty when the bell signals dismissal. I take a step back and freeze in my tracks. They all pass my by. I wa

My son has flapped his hands/arms when he’s excited for two years now. In the past month it has progressed to the point where he’s doing it a hundred times a day. He is also suddenly afraid to swim (been swimming since he was 2), have his hair rinsed with a cup in the bathtub, sit on our barstools or anything that puts his feet off the ground. He was never afraid or resistant to any of these things before. He has a lot of tics too like constantly licking his lips and running his hands through his hair. He has always had good speech and communication skills, he’s very affectionate and social and has always been above average on his development but his recent behaviors are really worrying me. Does anyone have any advice on this? Thanks!
I have an appt. with my son’s pediatrician and am taking steps to have him evaluated at his preschool. The changes have occurred gradually over the past 3-6 months. He has flapped his hands when excited since just before he turned 3 but recently it’s increased to several times a day. It has never been questioned by a caregiver and is obvious he only does it when excited which according to my pediatrician is NOT a sign of autism. She said she would be concerned if he seemed to “stim” for no reason but he only does it when he’s excited or very happy about something. A friend suggested Sensory Processing Disorder which would explain why a child who has always loved baths including having his head wet would suddenly hate it. Same for the heights and hating the barstools now. He was never bothered by them before. He does make eye contact and is very interactive with other children and adults.

An Irishman walked in a bar…?




An Irishman walked in a bar and sat in a bar stool. Now, there were 3 customers before him, and the Bar Tender was taking their orders.
"You sir?" asked the Bar Tender.
"Dom Perignon, single" replied the first patron.
"You sir?" asked the Bar Tender.
"Johnny Walker, single" replies the second patron.
"You sir?" asked the Bar Tender.
"Jack Daniels, also a single" replies the third patron.
The Bar Tender then faces the Irish and asks, "And you sir?"
The Irish replies, "Paddy O’ Brien, married!!!"

My shih tzu vomited about a week ago. He only did it once and seemed fine. Today I am wondering if he is either still sick or ill again. He was sitting with my husband on the floor, stood up and peed on the floor right next to him. He is mostly pottie trained as he has only had once accident in the house in the last month and that was becuase he was playing with 2 other dogs that are not normally here and so he could not hold it to tell anyone he needed out and that was over a week and half ago. Then my husband took him out this evening almost every 20 to 30 minutes because he acted like he needed to go and did. Then he had a loose stool accident on the kitchen floor.

The last 2 weeks I have been fighting a cold, but no upset stomach or anything of that nature so I am concerned and his vet is not open on the weekends. Is there something I can give him to ease his problem till I can take him. Any help is welcome.
Sorry I forgot to say that he is about 9 1/2 months old and seems to be eating normally, he might not be drinking quite as much as usual but is still drinking some. He is tired, but still plays with the kitty and will run up and down the hall, but not as much today as he did yesterday.

One salesman says to the other, "I better sell some cars soon or I’m going to lose my a.s.s."

Just then the saleman sees a beautiful woman sitting 2 barstools down from them, and says, "Oh Im sorry about my language."

The woman replies, "Thats OK. If I dont sell some a.s.s soon, I’m going to lose my car."

Blonde Joke?




A blind man walks into a bar, makes his way to a bar stool and orders a drink. After sitting there for a while, he yells to the bartender. "Hey, You wanna hear a blonde joke?"

The bar immediately falls absolutely quiet. In a very deep, husky voice, the woman next to him says, "Before you tell that joke, sir, I think it is only fair that you should know five things.

Number One. The bartender is a blonde girl with a baseball bat.

Number Two. The bouncer is a blonde girl.

Number Three. I’m a six-foot-tall, 175 lb. Blonde woman with a black belt in karate.

Number Four. The woman sitting next to me is blonde and a professional weightlifter.

Number Five. The lady to your right is blonde and a professional wrestler.

She concludes by smugly asking, "Now think about it seriously, mister.
Do you still wanna tell that joke?"

The blind man thinks for a second, shakes his head and mutters, "Nah, not if I’m gonna have to explain it five fucking times."

I have two bars stools with badly stained white fabric on the seat. The seat comes off with a few screws, and the fabric appears to be stapled in underneath. Can I just get some fabric, cut it and re-staple (after removing old staples)? Is it that easy or am I missing something? Any tricks I should know about? Thanks!
It’s a square bar-height chair, so I guess I’m in luck :) Does anyone know if I should use a regular/standard office staple or some sort of industrial/heavy duty version?

How can I avoid constipation from this rice?




I just ate like six cups of white rice with strawberries at about 12 midnight tonight. Both foods cause constipation.

How long will it take before I start to pass this rice? When should I take an over-the-counter laxative so I can time it so my stools dont come out painfully? Now? Tomorrow?
