Little Orphans

I get off work at lunch on Fridays now so I was home early afternoon when the thunderstorm started. Marli was standing at the door looking at the wind blowing and watching the rain. She said she heard a bird screeching. I walked out on the porch and listened and realized it was kittens crying. We had to wait til the lightening let up a little before we could check it out, but when my husband got home we walked around the side of the house and found two kittens helplessly crying, drenched, and near hypothermic and lying in a shallow puddle. I got a box lined with a towel and picked them up. I picked up another kitten...wait, no...TWO MORE clinging to each other so hard that I picked them up as one little wet lump. I had to pry them apart to dry them. They couldn't be more than a week old. Eyes barely open and ears just beginning to open good.

My husband got a syringe (needle-less of course) and some kind of little thing out of his jump bag that I think was part of an IV kit and we screwed it into the top of the syringe. It had tiny tip on it just small enough to get into their mouths comfortably (it was perfect actually, couldn't have done better on such short notice). I warmed some milk on the stove and pulled a couple ounces into the syringe. Marli and I managed finally to get a few drops down them. I had to hold the nape of their necks and lay them ontheir backs and pop it in there as they started to meow. That was the only time I could get it in their little mouths. They didn't know what was going on, poor things...little legs flailing and heads turning fromside to side. They were warm, dry and full and slept all night in a little huddle. Their fleas got warm, dry and full too and are climbing over each other. Gotta do something about that today.

I took some photos so I'll put them up as soon as I download them. They are all girls. Marli has named them after the girls in the Twilight series....Alice, Bells, i can't remember the rest. They are gray for the most part, but two of them have some white striping. There is one runt that is still very weak. I'm worried about that one. He ate a good breakfast this morning (4 drops...2 more than last night)so he should be pepping up hopefully.

Of course, we can't keep them. We have a dog and he is so upset he starts shaking because we have turned our attention to a box of little peeping squeaking kittens. I let him get close enough to sniff just to see how they'd get along. He sniffed, but the kitten spat and hissed when it sensed the danger. Not gonna work.

My neighbor has several cats so I know the mother is nearby. She abandoned them for some reason, though. Two of them don't seem as stable as the other two. Mother cats know when things aren't right. OR she could have been run over as we do live on a busy street and near a highway. I walked several miles here by the house yesterday before this happened adn never saw a cat in the road so I know it wasn't around here.

My husband ran a busy shift on the ambulance yesterday and thought his rescue efforts were over for the day. Not yet! Four little orphans awaited their hero.

28 Uses for Everyday Items

Rubber Bands

1. Open jars with ease. When a small lid won't budge, wrap a rubber band around it several times to give you a better grip.

2. Decorate Easter eggs. Arrange rubber bands in a pattern around hard-boiled eggs, then dip them into dye. Remove the bands when the eggs are dry.

3. Bring order to your dishwasher. Tether stemware and other delicate, wobbly items to the rack.

4. Wrap a gift. Use multiple colored rubber bands instead of ribbon to add modern flair to a small present. (Particularly handy when you can't find the tape.)

Toothpicks

5. Label meat. Are these burgers rare or well-done? They all look the same on the outside. Identify just-off-the-grill meats with different-colored toothpicks and they won't get mixed up.

6. Find the end of the roll. When you've finished using tape, wrap the end around a toothpick so you can easily locate it the next time.

7. Glue beads and sequins. Use the sharp ends to apply teensy items to a craft project.

8. Sew a better button. Place a toothpick between the button and fabric so it doesn't go on too tightly and end up tough to fasten.

9. Press a gadget's Reset button. What fits perfectly into that tiny hole? You guessed it.

Salt

10. Clean up a cracked egg. Cover the mess with a handful of salt, then wipe up with ease.

11. Dust a wreath. Place a wreath of pinecones or faux evergreen in a paper bag with a 1/4 cup of salt. Fold the top of the bag over and gently shake.

12. Remove tea stains. Sprinkle salt on a lemon peel, then rub it on a tea-stained cup. (Arched pinky optional.)

13. Shine brass and copper. Make a paste of a few tablespoons of white vinegar with equal parts salt and flour. Apply with a soft cloth, rinse, and dry.

Post-It Note

14. Clean a keyboard. Run the sticky side between the keys to collect crumbs and bits of lint.

15. Navigate the roads. Write directions on a note and stick it to the center of your steering wheel for quick reference.

16. Mark containers. Cut off the sticky zone and use it as an ersatz label for travel bottles so you don't confuse your facial cleanser with your hair gel.

17. File away. Divide a pile of paper into sections using Post-it Notes as you would folder tabs.

18. Play tic-tac-toe. Use a sheet for each X and O. Peel them up and play again until they lose their stickiness. (Or you lose interest. Whichever comes first.)

Felt Circles

19. Secure slinky garments. Stick a felt circle onto each arm of a hanger to keep clothes from sliding off.

20. Anchor a cutting board. Place a circle under each corner of the board so it stays put while you slice and dice.

21. Prevent tabletop scratches. Attach a circle to the bottom of a vase so it doesn't scuff surfaces.

22. Keep your kitchen quiet. Hush a banging cabinet door by sticking a circle on a corner on the inside of the door.

23. Protect the walls. Position felt on each corner of a picture frame so the edges won't mark the paintwork
Clear Nail Polish

24. Keep an eyeglass screw in place. If your specs are a bit wobbly, tighten the screws and top them with a dollop of polish.

25. Secure buttons. Apply a thin layer of polish to the center of a button to keep the thread from coming loose.

26. Avoid rust stains in the bathroom. Coat the bottom of a shaving-cream can to fend off rings on the ledge of the tub.

27. Seal an envelope. When a flap won't stay stuck, find closure with clear polish.

28. Extend the life of jewelry. Paint a thin coat onto a costume bauble to prevent it from losing its luster

A whole new level of Snuggie......

Nurses Don't Laugh

"Nurses aren't supposed to laugh." Fred declared.

"Of course I won't laugh, I'm a professional nurse. In over twenty years I've never laughed at a patient."

"Okay then," Fred said and proceeded to drop his trousers, revealing the tiniest man thingy the nurse had ever seen. Length and width, it couldn't have been bigger than a AAA battery.

Unable to control herself, the nurse started giggling then almost fell to the floor laughing. A few minutes later she was able to regain her composure.

"I'm so sorry," said the nurse. "I don't know what came over me. On my honor as a nurse, and a lady, I promise it won't happen again. Now, tell me, what seems to be the problem?"

"It's swollen", Fred replied.

Things went downhill from there.......
