  • need to find a specific piece of furniture?

    Guys,

    I need just a kind of bookshelf with very simple design:

    glass doors on the top (to put some figurines there),

    middle should have 2-3 spacious book shelves to put my fav books on;

    bottom should have solid doors to shove all ugly stuff like binders, old journals, etc.

    I am searching for this for more than month - internet, furniture store - notheing is outthere like thatt.

    One lady said you can find such stuff on US market.

    Is it really so bad? No hope?

    Just deperate

  • why used Toyota rav 4 is so expensive?

    I'd like to buy used Toyota rav4, v6, 2007, 20,500 miles.

    Originally owners asked $19,800. I think I already lowered price to $18,500 but I still think this is too expensive. However, looking at carmax.com and cars.com, similar cars cost $20,000 and more.

    I'm quite frankly torn. I don't feel comfortable with $18,500.

    Why these cars are so expensive? Are they worth it? Is $18,500 is a good price for such relatively young car in excellent condition?

    Thanks!

  • Home improvement: do I need to provide drinks?

    I am having people in my house working on a project. I noticed that they don't eat or drink. I offered Diet Cola (just what I had) at the time. They were very grateful. It's not a problem for me to supply them with drinks at all, my question - is it a practice? I'm novice I don't want people to accept my drinks if it is not proper. If it's OK - I'll get them as many as they need.

    Please share your experience

    thanks

  • Assessment of cat food is needed?

    I got very good cat diet feedback from this board and explored my options. I found that EVO and Wellness canned food is rather expensive (something $1.50+ for 5.5 OZ can). Wellness is of suboptimal bad texture - too pasty, they lick it but a lot sticks to the bottom and gets lost. EVO I didn't try yet.

    Anyway, in my search I ran into Giant's generic cat food called "Companion" that cost less than $0.50 per 6 OZ can. Cats like it a lot and it hasnice chunkish texture. Ingredients of turkey stew: Meat broth, Chicken, Turkey, Liver, Wheat gluten, Potato starch, Red peppers, Carrots, Sunflower oil, Natural Flavor, Guar gum, Parsley, Ca carbonate, salt, sweet potatoes, sodium phosphate, K chloride, pea fiber, egg product, brewers dried yeast, spinach flakes, and then go an go including lpts of other organic (like cranberry meal and various vitamins) and inorganic (like minerals) components.

    Analysis is crude protein (min. 10%, crude fat min 3%, crude fiber (max) 1.5%, ... taurine min. 0.08%

    Question is: - is it an adequate food? Maybe it is less superb than EVO and Wellness but is it adequate? It cost 3 times (at least less) than leading brands and much more accessible.

    Any warning bells?

  • Batesian mimicry vs. Mullerian?

    This is the question to students (how you are taught) and teachers (how you teach). Are you taught or do you teach that these two kinds of mimicry as separate entities or as extreme cases of one continuum? What's your own opinion? I think it's latter but I would like to know current opinion in schools.

  • What cat food is best while being reasonably priced?

    My old cat addicted to Friskies got diabetes after which I kept him on raw lean meat and schrimp and it helped to regulate his diabetes somewhat. I hear all the time that dry food is bad for cat although vet says that it's OK. Soft cat food is definitely bad for their teeth. I staretd giving my kittens canned chicken breast and salmon but they got diarrhea from that and now I'm giving them Science and they are fine. Still, I felt that I didn't analyze all variables of their diarrhea and will try to revert to human canned (all naturaL, lean and less expensive!!! than cat brands). I still would like to hear your opinion especially with specific examples of longevity and health. Thanks in advance!

  • Did you give your cat medicine and did the cat hold grudge on you?

    I have to administer metronidazole to my 2 kittens and they are not happy. Looks like they forget bitter taste quickly but I need to go on another 4 days and am afraid that they'll hate me.

  • What is the best litter for odor control in your experience?

    I have two kittens. Now they are learning their litter box with odorless litter and attractant (Dr,. Eisel? or something brand). It's very effective for learning but it does not do much about odor.

    Later, I'd like to switch to litter with strong odor control and good clumping. So many brands.. I'm confused. Please share your expertise
