Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / July 2004sneezing
Shaina sneezes and she sneezes too much for my liking. her eyes water also too much for my liking, though she is acting perfectly normal and healthy. i wonder if it's the dust in the apartment (Shaina is closer to the floor than any of us) and the crap coming from the airconditioner. i sneeze here too, so i don't know. i am going to take her to the vet anyway, next week, for her FPVRTC, but they might not do it if she is sneezing. are there any potential complications from that combo vaccine that anyone here actually encountered? -L > Shaina sneezes and she sneezes too much for my liking. her eyes water > also too much for my liking, though she is acting perfectly normal and [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > -L They can definitely feel and act under the weather for a couple of days after their shots. My Chloe has been sneezing lately too. Every one in a while she will go about a week or to sneezing (when normally she doesn't at all) and then she's fine. Her eyes have also been watering too. Where do you live in Texas??? Maybe it's all the rain? haha >My Chloe has been sneezing lately too.

And in this city, if you leave your windows open for a breeze, you'll find a layer of grime all over your apartment by the end of the day. Blech.

Used to be (say, from the 70's up through the late 80's or very early 90's) that after a day of sightseeing in NYC, that I'd feel so incredibly grimy. But in the last several years I've noticed that this no longer happens: I don't feel like my skin is covered by a layer of grime by the end of the day. I don't think I just got used to it, to me it definitely seems that the city is actually cleaner than it used to be. Makes it a lot more pleasant.

I've noticed that it is increasing here in the DC area. Just this morning I was stuck in a traffic backup due to an accident on the capitol beltway, and a resulting 2 hour drive. Not only did I end up light-headed and with a nasty headache from breathing the fumes for 2 hours, but I felt absolutely grimey by the time I got there.

One summer in the NYC subway system will help *anybody* to appreciate the lure of private transportation, even on icky days. ;-) At least in a car, I don't have to smell a hundred people's armpits. <G> Laura SignatureExperience is the name every one gives to their mistakes. -Oscar Wilde circa Fri, 2 Jul 2004 20:38:48 -0400, in rec.pets.cats.health+behav, Cathy Friedmann (clfr@adelphia.net) said, > > > i'm in NYC and i'm quite sure it's the dust. we still have two people > > > moving in their stuff and we don't have a vacuum cleaner which annoys [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > it definitely seems that the city is actually cleaner than it used to be. > Makes it a lot more pleasant. It really seems to depend a lot on the weather, I've found. Some days, I'll come home and blow my nose and be appalled at what was in my head all day. I'll feel grimy ten seconds after walking out the door and will find a nasty film on everything in the apartment. Other days, no oogie stuff in my nose, and no grimy feeling everywhere. Rainwater here is naaaasty.

Um, moron, my car is in storage in another state. I walk, and I take the subway. That is how I get around. In fact, most of the people who live in this city use public transportation. Most people who commute to the city for work take trains, for that matter. In New York, a car is a liability. It's commercial entities and tourist-toting cabs producing the bulk of the air pollution here, not the people who actually live here. As far as your inane "bulletproof vest" comment, *Omaha, Nebraska* is more dangerous than New York City. Perhaps you should stick to discussing Croyden, since you clearly don't know squat about New York. Do your research before you prove open that gaping maw of vacuousness you like to call a mouth. Why do idiots like you so often feel the need to play on Usenet and prove that they would have been better off as the residue in a condom? And why did I know it was only going to be a matter of days before something really stupid came from your keyboard?

I work about 30 miles from home because the tech job market is out that way. Should I move? Maybe, but the home buyer/seller market is about to take a swing in the wrong direction. Public transportation here sucks, and while it works for some, I just can't deal with a 2- 1/2 hour commute one way that the pub trans would take. Any other suggestions?

And what if one lives several miles or more from work? And then wonder if there is no public transportation in one's area? Think about it. I drive a relatively low-emissions car which gets decent mileage. That's my part.

Btw - no bullet-proof vest necessary in NYC.

Solar energy in itself, I can deal with; yes. But otherwise... I think your perception(s) of NYC are outdated &/or overblown.

Not true. I, for example, wouldn't own a gun or have one in my house no matter what; I hate the things. AFAIK, approx. 80 - 90% of my friends IRL have no guns - even for hunting, either. Movies aren't all true, you know. ;-) Cathy > You are all responsible for the pollution levels where you live, walk towork for a change Psst! They have a subway up there, honest to God.
