After a month of trying our best to integrate our new cat into our household, we have determined that she really needs to be an only cat; she's good with people but just too territorial to share space with other critters. Therefore, we're trying to find her a new home that she can totally own. She's speutered and house-trained (no accidents), and can be really sweet when she's not trying to kill her purple mousie for the umpteenth time. She'll probably be a great lap cat in about five years.

If you know anyone in the NYC area who's looking to adopt a cat, doesn't have other pets or young children (toddlers or younger) and isn't planning to acquire any, and has the time and energy to keep up with a rambunctious one-year-old kitty who's still half a kitten and full of beans, please send them this link:

(Yes, the shelter insists on calling her Rose. Yes, this is a bit confusing.)

Thanks for the help! Please feel free to spread this far and wide.

Selling two toddler beds in good condition, and I will include the mattresses, and bedding! $95 or best offer! Make me an offer :)

One is a wood toddler day bed style, which was originally bought as a lifetime bed at Babies R Us. The mattress height can be adjustable and the directions are actually on the crib. This bed is actually very simple to put together, and is sturdy (I have ended up in this bed with my children more than once, so I know for sure).

The second is a metal frame with sturdy hard plastic head and footboards. It is red and blue and has decals from the Disney Pixar movie "Cars". My 4 year old has a full-blown obsession with cars, as most kids his age do. Photo: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=2796614120529&l=4ca995db96

Both beds are in great condition, and the Only reason we are giving them up is because we bought our boys a bunk bed for Christmas. If there are no takers, these beds will be tossed. :(
I am willing to sell these beds separately, or together. My asking price for them is ~$60 for the white wood, and ~$35 for the Cars bed. Reasonable prices, I think. Your kids will be so happy with these beds as we have been.
Happy Holiday season!

Hey guys, so I'm working on a thesis project for my final year in school, and I decided to make it around food and peoples' experiences. If you have the time, please email me (at the bottom) anything about food (stories, experiences, etc.). Thanks so much. (:

What does food mean to you?

What does food mean to your family?

Or your culture?

Or your friends?

Do you think that is food is awesome, and you're constantly experimenting with it and looking forward the next dish you've never had?

Or is eating a constant battle, and you struggle to make yourself eat or avoid it so you don't get ridiculed?

Are you the type of person that could eat anything?

Or are you picky about what you eat?

What do you love about food?

What you hate about food?

Tell me your stories, anecdotes, opinions, poems, essays, rants, experiences, or anything about food.

Email to: foodisawesomeproject@gmail.com

Thanks!

I'm still looking for a roommate, I have a partially furnished room available in Midwood that's perfect for a College Student at Brooklyn College, or KBCC, or even someone who travels to downtown manhatten often (30-45 minute Q Train ride).

I'm a very laid back roommate. There's only one catch, is that the roommate must be able to pass for a cousin.

Art works in Tabla Rasa's ongoing exhibits in the front of the gallery are more expensive, but after viewing those exhibits continue to the backroom (where art works are stored and packed for shipping and the gallery owners have their office) for an art sale in which all art works have prices no greater than $400.
