Can Somebody Answer These Questions For Moi...

We have cats. As a matter of fact, in the past few years, we've had quite a bit of cats. A lot of them just came into our lives not because we seek them out, but because of circumstances. Usually because our relatives or family members couldn't take care of them anymore and these cats are too old to be given away.

So, we would take them. Some of them have died, a couple of them ran away and we've never found them.

But all of them have ONE thing in common, both males and females.

Now, before I ask my question. Let me explain how they live in our house.

I put in a cat door just for them. And we leave our garage door slightly opened so they can come in and out.

We deflea them and bathe them once a month so they are clean(in a way).

The problem with them all is this, even though they all go outside. They all puke inside.

ALL OF THEM....it is not uncommon to wake up to hairballs or hair/stomach juices on the floor. But they GO outside.

WHY?? Why do they puke INSIDE??

And we've found this theme among the older cats, they like to puke NEAR the food or IN the food bowl...and then, the other cats won't touch the foods anymore and the guilty ones won't eat the foods either (not that we'd make them).

The ones that would puke into the food bowl would always sit by the bowl and give us, "the look"

as if saying, "well, what are you going to do about it??"

I've had to laugh everytime they give me that look...as if it IS my fault that they've puked into their own food bowl???

What gives??

Why is it, that the kids' clothes are about a quater of adult sizes but it takes the SAME amount of time to fold them??

Our laundry piles are becoming insane. With two kids that can't seem to stay clean everytime they go outside (even school, they'd come back with their uniforms all dirty!!).

OK, the washing part is fine. But the folding part has become quite time consuming.

I had thought that I'd just mostly fold them in half. But that's too big even for kid's clothes.

So, as I would usually fold mine into a quater of it's size. I have to do the same with the kids.

And it takes the SAME amount of time. This is where physics and math don't make sense. LOL

And then, when they go and get dressed, they just rummage through all the neatly folded clothes and now they can't find anything...grrrrrr....

but if I cheat and just STUFF the clothes in the drawers, da wife would catch me and THEN, I would be in big trouble...

I guess my question really isn't why it takes the same amount of time to fold kids' clothes, but why is it that I get caught everytime that I take the short cut? LOLOLOL

Speaking of kids clothes. Has anyone noticed how expensive they are?

My shirts are 5 bucks and most often times, I wait until they are 3 for 10 bucks before I'd buy them.

We went out shopping recently for new clothes and uniforms and bought some new shirts for ourselves.

When I came back home, my clothes cost $25.00 total, and I got 5 shirts and two pair of pants out of it.

The kids came back with 2 brand new uniforms each, new shoes each, a couple of new shirts and pants each. And even though we shop at the discount stores, the total for all of them was close to $300.00.

The shoes were outrageous. They were close to $50.00 each pair and this was at the discount outlet mall....

I put their shoes next to mine, and it is not even half of my shoe size. My shoes are not anything major. But they are pretty good brands. Like Sketcher. I buy them off of Amazon when they are on sale. For about $49.99 a pair plus free shipping.

Their shoes cost more than mine....*pout...

who's doing the maths out there?? Who's charging these outrageous prices for kids clothing?? And it isn't just one store. ALL OF THEM. Even Wal-mart kids clothes are ridiculous when compared to the adult clothes....

can somebody out there with economic sense tell me why when the material cost is less, it actually cost more??

I am thinking about going into the children and kids business...

baby food, for example, ounce for ounce, is about 400% markup. $1.25 for mashed carrots??????? Sheesh!! PEAS???

And we complain about gas prices...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

speaking of gas....

well, it's universal I guess, we never outgrow the fascination of "gas" whether orally or from the other end.

Whenever someone burps or flatulents(yes, I know it's an adjective but I am using it as a verb, alrighty?), we all laugh...

I guess the question is, why is the same "gas" joke funny every single time...but we don't laugh at the knock knock jokes anymore as adults...

Hmmmmmmmmmm.....
