Our cats have all lived well into their second decade and all have been indoor/outdoor cats. They wear bells to alert wildlife, are kept in at night, microchips so they can't be lost, have regular preventative health care, a regular supply of healthy food AND enjoyment of the natural environment. 19 years inside. That…

I'm thinking.... it isn't the glasses that contract/expand but that it is the air in the chamber that expands helping to break the seal that most likely formed when the glasses were stacked warm from the dishwasher and then cooled creating a vacuum effect. I think the ice in the top glass is totally unecessary.…

It still is strict and there have been sad stories of this type. However Australia saves it's worst for those unfortunates who arrive illegally (usually at great risk of death along the way) and claim refugee status. Those people get put on an island and wait years to be processed.

Since many Asian dishes that are stir fried requires ingredients to be prepared before hand, and since I grew up in an Asian household... I have several medium sized black melamine dishes that I use for various ingredients. If these are too large I grab a rice bowl, a ramekin, or sauce dish. I have a dishwasher..…

My standard advice is to not expect to eat, sleep, watch a movie or go to the toilet. That way if any of that happens then it's a bonus. It really depends on your definition of "long".. some people think that is 3 hours. Like drummerjoe I think of a long plane ride as something across several time zones. We have done…

I recommend dramamine..and go to sleep.

For the kid or the parent? Seriously..do not give melatonin to ayoung child or infant. We used it for the first time with our Drs approval when our kids were 5. I gave them a 5ml sublingual dose. We used it to help adjust to new time zones (NYC to Greece via London and back). There was great enthusiasm about taking…
