diarrhea that has a dark mustard yellow color. We haven't been feeding him
any deli sandwiches, so we're wondering what's causing that aweful color.

Kami hasn't been too fond of the extra cold and it's silly to heat the
house to a nice 76 all day and all night.  So, I bought her a plush
kitty teepee today.  She went inside and has been there the last
several hours.  I don't think she's coming out until summer.

I discovered an icon I can't figure out.  I always click "catch up" when I

several, when I double click within the subscribed folder list, I get gray-
