In an incredible display of just how smart the octopus is - and how they are capable of forethought - Dr. Julian Finn of Museum Victoria in Australia has caught on video a veined octopus transporting coconut shells for the express purpose of building a shelter (and then doing so). I was so excited to find Vegan UGG boots - well, Vegan UGG style boots, that is - and for a fraction of the price of actual UGGs! And they are so comfortable! All of the comfort, a fraction of the price, and none of the suffering! If you've been wondering if the at home pedicure foot care product the Ped Egg is worth it, well it's not. If you have a PedEgg and are disappointed in your PediEgg experience, well, you're not alone. But most importantly, if you would like a rocking alternative to the Pedi Egg, well, I've got it! We have finally found the perfect shred proof cat box liner! While this is truly the world's best cat litter box set-up, we recently had to put our cat box in a space where that style of litter box wouldn't work. We had to go to a non-covered cat pan, and once we did that, we wanted to start using litter pan liners, but even the ones claiming to be shred resistant - let alone shred proof - cat box liners, well, weren't! But we found something that is truly cat shred proof! I was at the Indian grocers' this week, and he turned me on to Chyawanprash (sometimes also called Chyavanaprasha, Chyavanaprash, Chyavanaprasam, Chyawanaprash, or Chyawanprash - none of which trip off the Western tongue lightly). Now, before I go any further, I should explain that our Indian grocer isn't just any Indian grocer. He is a classically trained Ayurvedic practitioner - his grandfather and his grandfather's father passed down the Ayurvedic traditions to him. In fact, he is now in medical school here, so that he can practice here, blending his skills and knowledge. So when he recommends something as being Very Good for you, I tend to give it some credence. I'm very excited - I just ordered a Lampe Berger (a/k/a Lamp Berger, Lampe Bergere, or Lamp Bergere), and have high hopes for it helping to remove the cat scent - you know, that distinct cat smell deposited by any unhappy cat - from the air in our house! For those of you wondering "What is a Lampe Berger?", a Lampe Berger is a sort of an oil lamp with a unique distinction - it has a cataltic burner that is said to actually destroy odor, and purify the air, before dispensing the scent of the scented oil which it burns. If you've ever had a dog that likes to get into the garbage, you know how frustrating (and dangerous) it is. And you also know how frustrating it is to try to find a dog-proof garbage can. In fact, there was only one dog-proof trash can on the market - and you had to (I kid you not) bolt it to the wall. And that dog proof garbage can cost $110.00 plus shipping. So I was thrilled to find this dog proof trash can which doesn't need to be bolted to the wall, and which comes with free shipping from Amazon. I went to the library today - it was the first time that I'd been there in a few months, and when I walked in, I was immediately struck by the smell. arbucks or Starbucks-equivalent in it? And if you've ever been spoiled, like I have, with a shopping cart which has a shopping cart cup holder, you'll forever long for all shopping carts to have cup holders, to hold your quad non-fat sugar-free frappuccino with extra whip. Well, guess what I just found for you. If you have an incontinent dog, or an incontinent cat (or a new puppy), the Swiffer will save your life. Or, at least, your sanity. I used to pooh-pooh the Swiffer. Then our dog pee-peed the floor. A lot. As our dogs grow to amazingly advanced ages, one of them has become a bit incontinent. Ok, a lot incontinent. Suddenly, the Swiffer made a lot of sense. Read on... This Valentine’s Day, give a true gift of the heart by giving the gift of life - help fund heart surgery for a child. Even $5.00 will help, and you can even donate through Paypal - it doesn’t get much easier than that! Forget about those automatic cat litter boxes! We've found the worlds best cat litter and cat litter box combination, using just an inexpensive hidden litter box and this perfect litter. Even better and easier than an automatic cat litter box. In fact, we'd used a Litter Maid self cleaning litter box for years; this is far easier and better, and no smell! So, forget all those other kitty litter boxes. And if you've been asking yourself "which is the best automatic cleaning cat litter box?", you've been asking yourself the wrong question! The right question is "what is the best, easiest kitty litter and box combination", and this is it! Most people, when they think of Charles Dickens and Christmas, think of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. But many of Charles Dickens novels feature Christmas passages, and while Charles Dickens Christmas Carol is of course a classic, one of my favourite Dickens Christmas passages is the one from the Pickwick Papers. Wow..this is really neat.. one of my sites, IndigNation.org made the Cool Site of the Day hit parade! Ok, check this out! You can get all of the best of my articles - from here, and The Internet Patrol (with a little Adventures in Raw Food thrown in) - free - direct to your cell phone! This is through a nifty service called Plusmo. As you know from earlier posts, this was our copper anniversary. What you, and my husband, didn't know, was that part of my gift to him this year was an overnight trip to historic Copperopolis, home of the copper rush in California, staying at the gorgeous Saddle Creek resort. I am very pleased to announce my newest baby, the weekly podcast, "Three Things You Should Know"! Batteries that you can charge by USB have been introduced by USBCell from Moixa! Now that is very cool! And there are USB rechargable batteries coming in all sizes and shapes! AAs and AAAs to start, but more on the way! Last night I got to see Gordon Lightfoot live, in concert. It was fantastic. What a man - what a storyteller! Ok, they are actually boots. But they are so comfortable that they are like wearing slippers outdoors. And they have the cutest tree on the bottom of the soul. I really like Eugene, Oregon, Comfortable Shoe Capital of the United States. I just have to take a minute to rave about my new shoes. If you don't like chocolate, you will. If you do like chocolate, this is bliss. If, like me, you are a chocolate jezebel, have the paramedics standing by and be prepared to slip into a swoon as the frissons dance up and down your spine, ... Several years ago an online acquaintance introduced me to a remarkable item. I had been complaining of an obnoxious smell which I simply could not get rid of, and he said "what you need is some of the lava rocks which Lee ... We are having a huge national conference this week, ISIPP's National Spam and the Law Conference (http://www.isipp.com/events.php).

As I've mentioned, we have a huge Spam and the Law conference going on right now (http://www.isipp.com/events.php).
