Thanks for the leads Deb – I’m sure you’ll be back in the groove before long!
Internet Brands pay on time and are great fun to work with! I’m surprised with the posting though, they’ve been short on work for the past month. Maybe the tides are turning.

thank you for the leads
Oh Sam…you sweet talker!
Hello Deb,
I live in New Zealand and always enjoy searching your website for jobs and advice. A lot of them don’t reply because I live to far away or not just with the American way of doing things. I refuse to give up. Have scored the odd gig so keep up the good work.
Hi, Deb,
I haven’t even gone through the leads yet, but just wanted to say that I’m grateful for all the hard work you do. Thanks!
Welcome back Deb! Nice to hear from you and thank you for all that you do for us.
I saw a posting on weather and couldn’t help it. I woke up to 10 degrees this morning. BRR. I wish winter would go away.
And since I’m obviously in one of those frames of mind (too little sleep this week thanks to my little night owl kittens) has anyone had a cat who is addicted to ginger ale?
Seriously. We’ve had a stomach bug making its way around our house and today I’m feeling just a little off, so not too bad. My son had warned us before that Sasquatch (aptly named given his six and seven-toed paws and the fact that he’s five months old and already weighing 10 pounds) steals ginger ale. He’s never touched other sodas, it’s only ginger ale.
I hadn’t seen it though. I have the wood stove stoked up and sure enough he comes sneaking over to my desk while I was adding wood and he’s lapping away at my ginger ale. I know I should scold him, but it’s hilarious seeing a cat that likes ginger ale.
My schedule has been a little wacked to because of work. I am definitely late on checking out the listings.
@ Anne G. : LOL! I’ve never heard of a cat liking ginger ale
Our cat is…spoiled. Oddly enough she hates fish. But she loves chicken and pork. Whenever I’m preparing chicken or pork she won’t leave me alone, howling until I give her bits and pieces. Earlier this week I was prepping some pork loins and I had put them on the table while I was cutting some veggies and I suddenly hear this licking sound…I turn around and she had snuck into the kitchen and hopped up on a chair and was helping herself to the marinated yumminess!
My mom had a cat who LOVED cantaloupe. You couldn’t even bring one home from the store without her going NUTS over the bag until you cut her some and put it in the bowl for her to eat. Different strokes for different folks, I guess
I’d never heard of a cat who hated fish until ours, and my mom’s is one of the only ones I’d heard of who loved fruit. Yours is definitely the first I’ve heard of who loves ginger ale!
Something happened to my comment
Was it deleted because I mentioned that I had posted a Craigslist ad? I was only talking about how scammers were everywhere…I wasn’t trying to spam, honest!
Oh well..thanks again for the leads, Deb
Dammit, sorry Deb, I’m an idiot, I was just looking at the wrong page. Sorry!
@T.W. – I have to say, I’d never owned siblings before so having two kittens at once has been an experience. It’s funny you mention meat and cantelope. The larger of the two (the ginger ale loving kitten) would have bypassed the pork and gone for the veggies. On St. Patrick’s Day, my husband was cutting up cabbage and dropped a piece. I knew he wouldn’t get it. The cat loves raw veggies, particularly broccoli, so the cabbage went quickly.
But the cantaloupe loving cat hits home. Last week, I had a piece of cantaloupe chopped up and next to my computer. My across the street neighbors spend their winters in Florida, so I keep an eye on their house. Someone pulled into their driveway and started peeking in windows, so I had to go see what was going on. While I was doing that, my veggie lover hopped up and ate my cantaloupe. I’ve never had a veggie/fruit loving cat, but he definitely is. Meanwhile, his brother was the runt of the litter and he goes berserk for deli meats. He knows the sound of that bag and will attempt to scale bodies to get at it.
hee, I had a sibling pair before. They were…little devils, to say the least. The female had a love for fluffy socks and slippers. She ripped a hole under our bed in the wood-frame/box-springs area and would drag her “toys” up inside. If anyone came near her in the act, she would growl and continue dragging them.
The male loved to jump on shoulders. He would “surprise” you by leaping from the top of the stairs when you came home, aiming for your shoulder. Many is the friend who came over for dinner or to watch something on T.V. with me only to get the shock of their life by this Siamese cat coming from nowhere and literally jumping at you. He loved shoulders…would curl up on your shoulders and drape himself around your neck.
The same two together were very, very naughty. The male developed a love for flour tortilla shells. I had always just kept them in their ziploc bags, but I came home one day to find tortilla shells in pieces all over the floor. So I put it up on the top shelf of the cabinets and went to work (top shelf as in I’m on tippy toes to get to it). I come home from work and there were dishes all over the floor, the plastic bag was in shreds, there were pieces of tortilla all over the place, and he was laying in the center of the mess with his tummy all huge and this look on his face like “what?”
His sister, however, also had a love for toilet paper. I could NOT keep a roll of toilet paper on the roll. Same with paper towels. And while she was the instigator, once she got the rolls into the living room, they both would go at it, and my golden retriever would get in on the fun. The first few weeks with them all together was chaos. I’d come home to shreds of stuff everywhere, and the dog would have paper bits all over his face. I thought I’d be smart and hide the toilet paper in the drawer. She figured out how to open up the main doors (I watched her do it once), crawl inside and navigate through the under-the-sink stuff, stuff her paws up behind the drawer, push it halfway open, then come back out, hop up on top of the sink, then reach down and pull the toilet paper roll up and out.
They also figured out how to get the sink plunger and bathtub plunger OUT of the holes and onto the floor.
The female LOVED to sleep in the kitchen/bathroom sink. The male loved to climb shades/blinds. He would hang from them, Spiderman style, while taunting his sister or the dog.
They got along great, but were SOOOOO naughty. One of the funniest things we ever saw was when we got my wife a new pair of fluffy, black slippers. She wore them downstairs in the basement of our old house and the whole time the female’s eyes were HUGE and she couldn’t take her eyes off them. The MOMENT my wife took them off…they disappeared. We caught her after she had already drug the first to her special place, and she was en-route with the second. And they got WAY worse after I got them spayed/neutered. They were absolutely the best cats I have ever had…the most personality, but OMFG they were horribly destructive! I tried spanking, water, squirt guns, cans of coins…nothing worked with those two. And it was really bad when my dog would get involved in the fun too. Many was the time I’d come home to furniture moved around the house, sheets off the bed, lol.
LOL I was just remembering. My sister has this Boston terrier who HATED those cats. Neither was afraid of him. He’d go outside and access the basement windows where they hung out most of the time and he would go nuts from the window while they sat there taunting him from the other side. He totally ruined several screens. He ventured downstairs twice and got chased out both times because they would gang up on him and chase him around.
The ONLY time they ever fought was if she had a slipper/sock that she didnt’ want him to have, or if there was fish. The first time I fed them fish they were about a year old and I was in utter shock to hear them growling at each other over it. They ALWAYS shared perfectly. They also hated cat food…refused to eat any brand I bought them, canned or dry. They would only eat the dog’s food. I had to buy this special tub to put it in because they figured out how to open everything else, and I had to kiddy-lock all the cabinets/drawers to keep them out of things. Very naughty!
My wife’s cat here learned how to open the door when she was teeny tiny, like 4 months old. It’s a horizontal door handle, and when she was a kitten we had shut the door once (I forget why) to the bedroom. We hear this howling, but ignored it. Finally we start hearing this “thud….thud” about 1 second apart. She was throwing herself at the door handle trying to reach it but she was too small, lol. Eventually she managed to get ahold of it and there was this huge racket while she continued to slide off the door handle before it would open the whole way. I was in tears when I went out to watch her at it. Now she simply reaches up and pulls on it to get the door open!
Cats are great
I love them. Very unique, very fun.
