Attempting to Reach Out (Update&personal)

I've heard nothing from my father's other family on the fact that they've told my father that I was trying to reach him-just to tell him he's a grandfather.
Thing 1
 Thing 2
The Cat
I let them know that i was looking for no money whatsoever. I couldn't be more annoyed or p.o'd than I am at them. My brother (rest his punk soul) had mentioned that they were a good for nothing lot and unworthy of him, but that's ultimately his choice.
The boys look a lot like my oldest brother-which is hilarious. One is a gamer-like me, into anime-like me, likes sharp objects; knives-like me, and a few other things, but ultimately, he's a douche for not responding with a healthy F*** off! just to answer me back. It's annoying...
The mother looks like her picture was taken twenty years ago since her hair was blond when i talked to her about 10-13 yrs ago. I was told she was lazy and makes my father work 3 jobs just to support her, their twins, and on the net i found his address that he has them living with him plus her parents...
Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with helping family and it's easier to have others live with you.
I just don't see how he could let them cut us from him. He's OUR FATHER TOO.
Mother says that I'm just waisting my time. Perhaps, but it doesn't hurt to try it. What more can they do but deny me...
How many 7/11's could there in Z-town?

Attempting To Reach Out

Attempting to reach out to ones siblings from a parents next or previous marriage is really really scary. You might not know what to expect or what they're like. Have no fear. The worse they'll do is not speak to you. The important thing to remember is that the problems between the parents is as is. It does not mean the children have to feud over who's right and who's not. Get to know each other if you can and see how much you have in common or surprise each other with who looks like others in the family. A lot of fun can come of this situation. There is no need for it to get ugly. If it does, try again in 6 months to 1-10 years.

I am making this post as a personal one because I am going through this right now. Tonight as a matter of fact. I have twin brothers (I will not name them without their permission), who actually seem to have some of the same interests that I do and am waiting for a response from one of them who I share quite a bit with right down to the interest in blades as it seems.

What's the worse they are going to tell me? "Stop talking to me." / "F*** off!" / "Um... Hi?"/ etc. and so on and so forth. I've never met them and if I don't have any further contact with them, I'll try again at a later date when they've matured. They're about 10 years between us. I sigh in anticipation and absolute fear of what the outcome could absolutely be.

On an even personal level: my father has no idea I've gotten married 3 yrs ago this spring and had a child at the end of 2011 summer. I took a huge leap from holding this in and curiosity won in the end. I'm about to be faced eventually (if someone replies) with... I have no idea. The only one who's met them is my brother who died when the boys were little.

How Rid Cat's Fleas-Under $5

This is for the down and broke pet owner and those who cannot afford the pet spa's.

If you have a cat full of fleas you have a problem. Stop letting them outside so much-if at all. Turn the heat up if it's chilly out or winter season. A sick kitty is a sad owner.

Get a bottle to spray water-with a few drops of DAWN dish detergent and mist furniture and the floors. If you have a rug, you may do it a couple times a week. At least mist every day. Don't miss once even after the fleas are gone for a month. Just to make sure your fleas eggs suffocate in the sudsiness.

Bathe your cat in DAWN dish soap, getting all the places that fleas love to run to such as the anus, belly and between the claws and cheeks (where the whiskers are). Let that sit there for a few moments and then rinse against the grain-except with the head-go with the grain. Make sure the soap does not get into their eyes at any point of the bath-it's very important. This could cause further traumatizing.

Using a spray hose at the sink or in the bath is one of the best tools to rinsing. It's the best way to get them wet before soaping them up and rinsing.

While sudsing, use your nails very lightly. It should almost feel like a masseuse is giving them a bath.

Talk to your cat. Even if they aren't responsive like a human, reassuring and talking to them in a calm, gentle voice helps.

When the bath is over try to "squeeze" the water out of their coat as best as possible. Don't squeeze too hard or you'll end up hurting your pet and will tell them that they won't ever want you to touch them again. It will feel like cruelty to them. If you have a large place to wash, let them get on the floor to dry them and just rub them all over with the towel. You want as much of the moisture to come off the fur and onto the towel as possible. Let them get away for a while, then go back through their fur backwards as if you were running your fingers through your own hair. Fluff them up, so to speak and let them go. They will take care of the rest and dry themselves the rest of the way.

You know your cat still loves you if they come sit on you half way through their drying period. My daughters kitten always did this to my mother and I. (It was as if she was forgiving us for giving her a bath and letting her cuddle on our chests was like us attoning for giving her a bath).

Do this two to three times a week.

Keep your home warmer than normal on this day. Give them a chance at not catching a kitty cold-they cannot take human medicine if they do. An animal cold can result in UPI (Upper Respiratory Infection) which could lead to Pneumonia and more than likely lead to death. If caught in time an UPI can be cured before it turns to a life threatening infection. Keeping the house warmer may sweat you out of your home or clothes, but it will keep your little love-bug from catching that dangerous chill.
