We just sold our huge bedroom set!!! I was really worried about getting it sold for a good amount of cash and it is gone! Feels like such a huge weight of my shoulders! It's really starting to look like we are getting ready for this massive move around here!!!!

Yay!!!!!! Then there's the fun part of shopping for a new one :D

IKR. I hate home improvement projects. They never seem to end. When the worker removed the old door, he discovered our door was never framed in properly - instead the strikeplate was put directly into a 2x4 attached to the frame of our house. In order to put in the new door with a proper frame, he can tear all of that out too, then re-frame the entire entrance. He had to call the big boss to bring in 1x4s to do the outside. Then the poor guy slipped on the ice and twisted his ankle. (We have a skating rink out back because of neighbor's yard drains on to my SIDEWALK and their landlord is being a jerk about fixing it.)

The worker got the door to close and seal enough to be safe and warm, then he went home. Can't blame him. Poor guy.

Unless you have some reason to think they might have rejected you (e.g., you had an interview and didn't hear results, you were asked for additional information, etc.) this isn't a refusal.

If you received a PPR, the DM means your COPR has been issued.

Thanks for that :)

Like I just posted on my Facebook page I "know" it's an approval but that part of me that's seen so many hold ups, and setbacks through this, (though not nearly as many as a lot of people to be sure), will be sweating it getting lost in the mail, a freak rejection lol

Mine won't eat most people food. She takes one or two tastes of plain yogurt, cool whip, and milk. She will eat tiny crumbs of cheese. Most food she isn't interested in or she can't eat because of her teeth. (I think someone kicked her face in while she was a stray.)

I puree her food in my blender (which I deconstruct and thoroughly wash afterwards each time Ladies!) so it's a soup. She loves it. I can also add extra water in it, which is great for cats nutritionally.

Poor kitty :(

Mine both started out as barn cats at my ex's place. My kids decided I needed to adopt them, so they lucked out and got to be housecats lol. But they will eat ANYTHING, meat, rice, veggies... And they are shameless about it, if I'm having cereal Ryuko will stick his head in the bowl and start drinking the milk ;D
