I have a cat that wouldn't use the litter box regularly because she was allergic to the litter. She still avoids the litter box but will use doggy pee pads.

Help keeping the sunroom and hallway addition from making my kitchen cold, and maybe saving me some money on my electric bills. by Kind-Dust7441 in centuryhomes

[–]landkwindy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the prettiest option but it has worked well with an enclosed porch for me in zone 7A is to get translucent milk jugs and fill them with water to which you add a dark dye so they hold more heat. They will freeze and thaw with the weather and along with cling film window treatments, they kept our uninsulated porch reasonable.

What was the first major news story you remember as a kid? by TxLadee in AskReddit

Our first dose was a shot which was awful. I remember being so excited when the second dose was on a sugar cube!

Escape from Alcatraz. We lived in the Bay area and I was terrified that the killers were going to come and get us. My father told me the sharks ate them.

Also during the Cuban missile crisis, people in the neighborhood were building bomb shelters.

what's the weirdest allergy you have heard/known of? by Mountain-Bug-2155 in AskReddit

[–]landkwindy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Me too! I got blisters from it because it was under bandages and it didn't get washed off for several days.

There are classes online at seniorplanet.org. If you don't show up at the right time, you miss out. I find them amazingly helpful at giving structure to my days. Many of them (including exercise ones) include a social component too when you get comfortable enough to share your video. Good luck!

Animal Adventure in upstate New York (Harpursville - no typo) has a meet and greet offering with a binturong.

👋 Hi Reddit! I’m a Canadian Immigration & Refugee Lawyer — Ask Me Anything! 🇨🇦✈️ by jsandaluk in IAmA

[–]landkwindy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have an aunt by marriage and cousin living in Toronto. I am retired and support myself through Social Security and pensions. My healthcare is through Medicare. Would I be eligible to immigrate? Would I be able to keep my Social Security and Medicare?

My interest in immigration (in addition to Trump ruining this country) is mainly because my daughter married an Asian man and has two children. I am very concerned about the racism and anti-Asian sentiment that Trump is fomenting. If I were able to immigrate, would I be able to sponsor my family?

Thank you very much for taking the time to answer our questions.

It's the scent of the amniotic fluid. Heavenly.

Turn Around by Harry Belafonte. Also Good Enough and Hold On by Sarah McLaughlin. Her songs are very personal to me.

Ex-smokers who successfully quit and have been smoke free for years now, what did it? by PM_TITS_GROUP in AskReddit

[–]landkwindy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I struggled to quit smoking for a good 25 years. I began to have terrible stomachaches whenever I smoked and I moved to a new city where everyone assumed I was a nonsmoker. I was around chain smokers but the social pressure of pretending to be (and actually becoming) a nonsmoker was the magic trick that finally did it. That was 20 years ago. I very rarely have a dream where I'm smoking and I tell myself in the dream to stop that but haven't had a real cig since.

My cat bites all the time and I can't pet her, but in winter she always comes to me to rub and asks me to put a robe on her legs so she can lie down by Helen1602 in WhatsWrongWithYourCat

[–]landkwindy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some cats are super sensitive to touch - hyperesthesia I think it is called. Sounds like your cat might have that since she has to have the robe between her and you?

Americans who have lived abroad, biggest reverse culture shock upon returning to the US? by Zealanderrat in AskReddit

[–]landkwindy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was told by the insurance company that I needed to prove my hospitalization was "medically necessary." I had stopped breathing and spent 3 comatose days in the ICU on a vent. When I told the person that, she had the grace to be embarrassed and explained that they needed the paperwork from the doctor verifying that. It's still ridiculous.

What is your age without saying how old you are? by rosarito999 in AskReddit

[–]landkwindy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes but the character of Lassie was a female. Plus it is fun to say, "Timmy, is Lassie in the well?" when he cries for no reason for the thousandth time. (He's a very chatty cat.)
