Miscellaneous Stuff
Last night I went to Albany to visit with some friends and watch the football season opener between the New York Giants and the Dallas Cowboys. I'm a huge Giants fan and was almost as pissed as Eli Manning when they lost by one touchdown. But we had so much fun. I hadn't seen any of them in at least two months and we always have a blast when we get together. I haven't laughed that much in a long time. :)

I've been slowly learning how to use this laptop. I've never used one before, so it's been interesting. One thing that's been bugging me is that, unlike my desktop, there is no audio control button. If I have the main computer sound turned all the way up, there is no easy way to turn it down if I come across an especially loud video. Or so I thought! I just discovered by accident where the audio control is, so now I'm happy.

My cats have been driving me crazy with the food situation. They are so damned picky! I had always fed them dry food, but they would eat the food for about a week, then turn their noses up at it. I would buy a different brand and they would eat that for about a week, then turn their noses up at it. Lather, rinse, repeat. I have had up to four different brands at one time of half-full bags of cat food. :/
Two or three months ago, I started feeding them wet cat food because Ruffles had a problem of not being able to digest the dry food. All was well for about a month, then they started not liking it. I tried other brands and types of wet food, but nothing worked. They seemed to like the paté type best, but I can only get that in one brand - 9 Lives. They have not been eating it though. So I bought pouches of shredded food. They absolutely will NOT eat it AT ALL. They ate practically nothing for two days.
I had to stop last night on the way to Albany to get some snacks for the get-together and I also got the old 9 Lives paté food. When I got home, I gave them a can. It was GONE almost immediately. They also devoured the can I gave them this morning. Guess they like it after all. Brats.
