Pandora's Casket

Are you a pet lover? Want to get involved with others of like minds and pets? If so here is a community that I am sure that you will love.

The community site is Zootoo. This is for all the owners of pets to join together and talk about their members of the family.

Now I went over there to check it out. Yes, I joined. With the herd of animals that we have this site offered so much to do! Plus it is perfect for me with my animals.

There is so much to do over there. You start by adding your animals. If you are like me that took a bit to do and I still didn't add three of the kritters to the list. haha After that you can upload pictures of them and yourself.

I sat and read a lot of the postings by other pet owners and you could just feel the community love and compassion for their pets and pets that are not theirs. Answering questions, giving others advice and support on different issues. Really a great idea.

This is for all types of pets not just dogs and cats. That surprised me. Reptiles, birds and even fish are in the community. All of which we have here I might add.

Like I said earlier that there are so many different things to do over there. You can make a journal, talk with others, upload pictures even join a contest of best pet!

Sometimes it is just nice to talk to others that are like minded about pets. This is the place to do it. Plus it will keep you busy reading and posting!

So do like I did and join. The advice and tips are great!

With summer here and all the children home now I have been looking at out door furniture. I found the set pictured over this weekend while I was looking around to get an idea of what I wanted. I need something huge not just big. With the family and friends that visit for the summer we need to be comfy.

We are building the out door patio this summer so the addition of teak furniture will be perfect. This set is exactly the style and size that we need. Plus it is absolutely gorgeous!

The other day the USPS sent a letter that was all about shipping boxes and other supplies that they have for your business. They were even offering a free shipping kit that contained all the things that you needed when you were first starting out.

You get a few of each size boxes that are common to use. A nice touch for the person that is just starting out.

Once a month I am ordering something off the site for shipping. My latest order was for the new bigger size flat rate priority box. It is slightly bigger than the original flat rate box and works well for certain items. The one thing that I think that if you use Paypal for your shipping label that they should add is that size in the label process. They do not. Only the smaller standard box. So if you need that size box you can not use Paypal for that. Hopefully they will add that as it is beginning to be widely used.

The cost for the larger box is $12.95 compared to $9.80. In case you did not know this if you purchase on line you get a discounted price off a lot of the postage prices.

I received my new wall masks the other day. They are so cute. Much better colors than I had thought. They are small but once they are up on the wall they will certainly stick out. My son mentioned that maybe I should frame them which is a good idea as they are collectible and might be easier to hang up.

Since my landing is filed with an African motif I am having it flow into my room with my mask collection. Of course my youngest daughter does not like a lot of my masks and statues as she calls some very spooky. haha I try to find some of the strangest statues, not the mundane.

A friend of mine laughed and said that I should add colored bustiers on mannequins as a different touch. Now how would that fit in? There are some beautiful ones available but that idea is just not working for me at all. haha

Friday we went to see the opening day of Sex in the City. My daughters and their guys (who were groaning) and I made an entire day out of it. Lunch, shopping and movie.

The movie was fantastic. There were times that there was not a dry eye in the house. Happy tears, sad tears just tears. This was the entire theater of people. OK there were only around 20 but they were all doing the same thing.

The clothes and luxury watches were amazing. I have a purse and shoe collection fetish so that was a plus seeing all the different styles and such.

I am not going to say anything about the movie plot in case you stumble here and have not seen the movie. But I will say that I am glad it ended the way that it did. There was one part of the movie that hit home with me that when they were talking about a subject was so true. OK, it was another tear jerker part. haha

Great movie. Two hours and twenty five minutes that went by like ten minutes.
