My kitten comes running any time any door is open. I am even talking the refrirator.
If I open he refriarator he jumps in.{ He gets no food from the frig.He eats dry food} If the front or back door is opened he tries to run through.
Luckily I have a front and back enclosed porch.But still he has gotten out 3 times. I tried squiting him when he gets near the door but it doesn't help and he is very fast. I want him to stay inside, I don't want an outside cat. He has a freind ,who doesn't run out ,So hes not lonely.

It requires us to do everything according to an ideal status quo. And, as we follow it, we get even harder to ourselves, adapting to a (ir)rationality of labour.
What do you do in your everyday life that can be assigned to it?

Inspired by someones earlier answer on my questions.

What are the strangest sayings you have ever heard, what do they mean and where do they come from?

ie:
Put wood in hole! means close the door (I think) & I have no clue where it comes from originally.

Ok, so in the story, the main character dies and finds themselves in a place that they think is probably hell. They meet up with some other characters and each have to go through trials and tribulations that make them fake their own inner demons. Ok so basically in the end they are let out of what seems like a long maze, find themselves on a completely different planet with a chance to start over.
Thats just the basic idea, I got it from reading a modern adaptation of Dante's Inferno. So tell me what you think, give me some ideas, change parts of it if you like.

Dear Prime Minister,

I am writing to you with issues that I believe you, as our Prime Minister, should address as quickly as possible.
The rise of Islam within this country.
We are told on a daily basis that Muslims wish this country to be an islamic caliphate and that we will all live under sharia law.
Even though this is a predominantly christian country, we do not wish to see it fall under islamic rule, whether by force or by the backdoor.
We are told, by what seems the majority of muslims, that they are "out breeding", as they call it, the people of this country at a ratio of 5 to 1.
This means that within three generations, they could effectively wrest power from the government and instil an islamic government in it's place.
If the rates of births remain at this constant and the rate of apathy with the voting electorate doesn't alter.
What plans, of any sort, has this government got in place to stop this from occurring and will reassure the public that we will not fall foul of our own good intentions towards this growing menace?
What safeguards are in place, to stop this country from democratically being turned into an islamic caliphate?
With voter apathy on the increase, it won't really need that many people to instil an islamic government.

We await your response.


Please remember that this letter to the PM is to be posted on the 3rd November, thanks for looking.

Mother Nature or The pizza delivery boy from the movie "Blue Streak"?

I already made the Mother nature costume.But on the other one i need glasses,teeth and a pizza box.

But the problem is with the pizza boy costume is that its hard to walk in and stuff cause theres pillows and pads in em.so I probably won't be able to do all the games and rides this place has to offer.

But the problem with the mother nature costume is that I might not win the costume contest wearing it.

Which should I choose?

She started to read Jacqueline Wilsons' "Vicky Angel" a couple of months ago but got very upset as a character of a similar age dies at the beginning. She goes to bed ok but within half an hour she comes downstairs in tears, saying that dying is all she can think about. We have a cuddle and a chat but she often ends up in bed with me. Any advise? Should she see a doctor?

I know Fuzzy Friends and Happy Endings are not. But if someone knows of a 'less-recognized' organization that is in need of vet tech experience, please let me know. I've searched on the internet but the 2 I listed are the only ones noted. Maybe someone from around here (Waco) can help. Once again, thanks!!

My parents are normally allow me to do quite a lot as I am responsible. I have recently fallen for a guy who fancies me and he has asked me out. I would say yes, but my parents. I never talk to them about guys its the one thing I just cant talk to them about. This would be my first boy friend so do you think that it would be ok to go behind their backs and go out with him. He lives near by and I could easily find a way to meet up with him in secret. What do you think?
