We have a cat now. The litter they sell at Safeway or Costco does not clump very well. We go to Petland and buy kitty litter that is three times more expensive than the supermarket varieties.

We use pine pellets. Works awesome! When they pee there's no odor, in fact it brings out the pine smell and breaks down the pellets. The pellets turned into mush but with little pees the broken down pellets just turn to dust and still doesn't stink. The poop of course smells no matter what you use, but when covered you can't smell anything but pine. We buy a huge bag like 10kg for 6 bucks and it lasts a whole month. No toxins or ammonia smell. The only thing is when they flick it out while covering it can be a bugger to step on, so placing the box in a strategic place is mandatory. We only have the two cats now, our old boy passed away tonight  ac_crying

Name some products or services that you think aren't worth what they cost.

1. FOBs

2. French fries

3. Phone/cable/internet

4. Go karting

5. TAXES, TAXES, TAXES


FOB's? Where I live, FOB is an acronym that is used in a derogatory manner to refer to Asians who are "fresh off the boat", mostly used by Westernized Asians who feel animosity towards foreigners.

We have the same term here and it also the name of one of Calgary's most deadly gangs..



But, iron horse jockey was referring to the electronic keys that open doors.


It seems kind of strange to hear about a deadly gang in a city that I'm assuming has few minorities.



You're so informative, Fash.

I'm surprised how many people think Calgary is not diverse..



My city is very, very multicultural and has the third largest Chinatown in Canada..



We have been  a preferred destination for immigrants for a few decades now.

I don't really consider East Asian peoples to be minorities, although they probably fit the definition in North America.



With numbers in the billions, I sometimes wonder if they outnumber Caucasian people worldwide?

We are considered visible minorities in Canada..



We do outnumber Caucasians workdwide, but within East Asians, South East Asians are different from Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Mongolian and Siberian peoples.

Really? You do not consider Orientals visible minorities? They are not white.

There is not a week that passes that I am not reminded that I am a minority.

Well, I mean in the literal sense.



I'm sure all East Asians suffer hardships in the Western world at some point in their lives that stem from being culturally dissimilar to both other minorities and the majority group. I apologize if it sounded shrewd.

We a re literally visible minorities. But, I do not feel sorry for myself because of that or being an immigrant. If you let petty shit get you down, it's your own fault, not all of society. I hate that crybaby shit.
