When it comes to fostering kittens, Ashley Saldana is no stranger to the danger. A recent batch of feral foster kittens turned out to be quite spicy. The three little snarling, scratching, biting babies wanted no part of any human. However, Ashley has a secret weapon. Poppy, seen here taking a turn with Wasabi: @soccercatmom The moment we’ve all been waiting for… Wasabi’s first meeting with Poppy. #cat #catlife #catsoftiktok #Tatcha #kitty #kittycat #catlover #kittensoftiktok #cattok #cats #catrescue #fostercat #fosterkitten #fostering #cute #love #cutecat #kitten #kittens ♬ Save My Soul – noahrinker When the spicy foster kittens were ready for names, Ashley matched their monikers to their spicy little personalities. The first is now Tabasco, the second is Sriracha, and the third is Wasabi. When it was time to unleash the secret weapon to tame the spicy little kittens, Poppy stepped right up. Poppy is a kitten whisperer. When a spicy baby is placed anywhere near her, she immediately takes control. She acts like a surrogate mom and starts gently grooming each kitten. Within seconds, they are calm and content. Poppy displays her expertise within minutes, taming the “hissy & spicy” Sriracha. The tiny tuxedo cat (formerly known as tornado cat) melted in Poppy’s embrace. Poppy’s magic works by adding oxytocin to the mix. A gentle touch can lower cortisol (stress hormone) levels, having the same effect on Poppy and the foster kitten simultaneously.

Whether the kitten was feral or mishandled, making it bite and scratch, Poppy is able to calm them almost instantly. Her nurturing presence truly is magic.

Andy Reid's office was struck by a bullet

Eddie Money’s story begins in Brooklyn, New York, where he was born Edward Joseph Mahoney on March 21, 1949. Raised in a family with deep roots in law enforcement, he seemed destined to follow in his father’s and grandfather’s footsteps as a New York City police officer. After spending two years in the police force, however, Money realized his true calling was music. Leaving the badge behind, he moved to Berkeley, California, in 1968, where he immersed himself in the thriving local rock scene, performing in clubs and steadily developing his signature vocal style that blended rock grit with pop The post Complete List Of Eddie Money Songs From A to Z appeared first on ClassicRockHistory.com.

Two years ago, the UK government gave roughly $15 million to its own conservation organ called Natural England for the purpose of preventing species decline. Now, its report card has arrived, and its A+ work has seen the recovery of 150 struggling or declining species.

By the author of What to Eat When You’re Broke and  How to Prep When You’re Broke Times are really tight, and the price of food is only going up. If you’re like us, sometimes your week outlasts your groceries. Inflation, shrinkflation, and all the other “flations” are hitting Americans hard, especially those who were already on tight budgets. One of the best ways I’ve found to stretch the grocery budget is by adding in “Cheap Eats.”  We had a whole roster of such meals when my daughters were younger. The criteria for “Cheap Eats” was that it had to be reasonably filling, quick to make, (cooking utilities add up too), and less than a dollar a serving. Let me preface this with the fact that Cheap Eats aren’t necessarily the healthiest of meals, but when your budget is tightened to this level, you can’t afford fancy organic crackers made from gluten-free grains ground with volcanic stones under the full moon. So, while you want to be as balanced as you can in order to stay healthy, your healthy diet is likely to suffer when times are tough. My usual Cheap Eats strategy is to have a thrifty breakfast and lunch, and then a nicer meal at supper time. But if times are really bad, you could be looking at Cheap Eats three meals a day for a little while. For the sake of tolerable nutrition, mix it up. Don’t eat ramen three meals a day, every day. For more ideas on thrifty food, including tons of recipes and shopping lists, check out my book, What to Eat When You’re Broke. 25 Cheap Eats I consider breakfast to be interchangeable with other meals, so I’ve compiled a single list of our family’s Cheap Eats. Go with the generic or store brand for the best prices. Peanut butter and saltines (or graham crackers) Oatmeal Peanut butter and jelly sandwich Bean burrito Macaroni and cheese (from a box – here are some tasty ways to improve that meal) Pasta and canned marinara Canned soup and toast or crackers Canned pasta (Only if found on sale) Egg-fried rice Noodle bowls (ramen, etc.) Apple with peanut butter Eggs and toast Tuna sandwich Baked potato with butter Potato soup Rice, frozen veggies, soy sauce Beans and rice (made with canned beans) Split pea soup Tortilla crust pizzas Pancakes Pasta salad with tuna and mayo Baked beans and weenies Chicken and dumplings Biscuits and gravy Breakfast burritos with eggs and whatever you have on hand Some thrifty meat choices to add to these ideas above: Chicken drumsticks and thighs Frozen chicken and rib meat Frozen ground turkey tubes Last day of sale meat purchases Hot dogs Canned tuna I’ve found Aldi’s freezer aisle to be a Godsend for cheap meat, so if you have one of those around, you should check it out! If you can afford a little more, Walmart’s frozen veggies are $1 for the small bag, give or take. Some broccoli or green peas can add much needed nutrients to the meals above. How to get your family on board with Cheap Eats When you change your eating style dramatically, you generally need to have a conversation with your family members. I find you get fewer complaints when you discuss things as opposed to laying down the law. Here are some tips for talking to your kids about the family’s financial problems. If you have picky eaters in the house this will be a bit more difficult. Try to find at least a handful of things your picky person will eat without complaint that fit into the Cheap Eats category. Here are some more tips on dealing with picky eaters. Cheap Eats can be a real budget saver when it comes to food or when you’re trying to get through a tight spot.

Liberal journalists who decry an allegedly pusillanimous White House press corps under President Donald Trump never seem to spend 10 seconds considering how “courageous” this group was under Trump’s predecessor, Joe Biden. CNN’s “chief media analyst,” Brian Stelter, tweeted: “The Trump White House has sought to reshape the press corps in its favor this year, and today showcased how well the effort has succeeded.” Stelter was unhappy that no one ruined Trump’s Q&A session in the Oval Office with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. “This display, especially in front of foreign leaders, is so embarrassing,” Stelter said an anonymous White House reporter told him. “Many of the questions aren’t designed to get answers, but to create another confrontation or make Trump look good. That’s not journalism.” The less-than-courageous journalist added: “High schoolers could do a better job than some of these people.” Wouldn’t it be nice to know which liberal was doing the lecturing here, so we could compare it to his or her questions at the White House? Was it a CNN reporter? This routine was a repeat of CNN’s Donie O’Sullivan in April ripping the “MAGA media” in the White House press corps. CNN thinks every journalist’s role at every event is to ruin Trump. It finds it infuriating that Trump selects questions from reporters who don’t want to ruin him. Stelter was especially angry when Brian Glenn asked Trump a softball—an accurate softball—about how the press is rooting for him to fail at peace-making in Ukraine. How dare he set up three minutes of media bashing! Stephen “RedSteeze” Miller (not to be confused with the White House adviser of the same name)—who has crusaded on the social media platform X about the media’s embarrassing lack of professionalism during Biden’s obvious mental decline—upbraided Stelter by reminding him of April 2023. Biden was caught holding a crib sheet of reporters and their expected questions, including Los Angeles Times reporter Courtney Subramanian— who asked Biden a question very much like the one on his crib sheet. Stelter wasn’t a CNN employee when that happened. CNN.com writer Stephen Collinson wrote about it, insisting it was “more innocent” than conservative critics thought. “The query did not exactly match the one Biden was apparently expecting, and the Los Angeles Times said in a statement that Subramanian did not submit her question to the press office in advance, though she had been in regular contact with White House aides seeking information for her reporting.” In other words, White House press aides asked about what questions might be asked, and they summarized those, and gosh, it came out almost exactly like she asked it. It doesn’t look very “innocent.” It looks like collusion. On television, CNN White House reporter Arlette Saenz also rushed to Team Biden’s defense: “Now, it’s worth noting that her question was not identical to what was on that note card, and her outlet says that they did not submit any questions to the White House ahead of this press conference.” If you’re going to trash a “MAGA media” reporter for going too soft, Stelter should wonder about how Saenz and CNN’s other White House reporters performed under Biden. No one yelled at Team Biden like they were Jim Acosta. Saenz sounded like a repeater, not a reporter, channeling whatever messaging the White House was pushing. Saenz’s interview with Jill Biden in 2023 sounded like a chat with Drew Barrymore … or a high school journalist. White House reporters should be expected to ask challenging, but respectful, questions to presidents—not to make them look good or bad, but to get answers for the public. If softball questions are considered dreadfully unprofessional by definition, CNN shouldn’t have the gall to complain about anyone else’s performance.
