i tried red bull one time, about 3 years ago. just remember it being too sweet. haven't tried it again. also, i think the can read "strawberry". (?) does it come in different flavors?

I had a sip once, wasn't able to swallow it. It was just, well, yuck. I'm with Costa on the double espresso.

off the red bull topic, but it is a dumb question. i have a question after reading costacat's post. she specified "the un-neutered variety" regarding male-cat pee smell. all my cats have been neutered; and, if i have smelled male cat unneutered pee, i'm not aware of it.

costacat didn't actually say there is a difference in smell. but i'm now wondering: is there a difference in pee smell between an unneutered and neutered cat?

eta: also, why am i wondering about cat pee smell when i have something that HAS TO BE DONE by 9:30 pm tonight. oh, i know why, i'm avoiding doing it. bye for now. lol

My understanding is that non-neutered cats are generally more likely to spray it around on objects to mark their territory which adds further to the smell. However, I have seen non-neutered purebred cats that do not spray (mainly because they do not feel threatened).

(Sorry ... does this mean you have to get to work now? )

Question??, tonight I knocked my tv remote off the side of the couch and the battery cover popped off.. I went to push the batterys back in and adjust the cover and practicly burnt myself on one of the AA batterys... It was so hot I had to get a rag to pick it up.. I have never had that happen...the other battery was warm but normal for being in a warm house... the other one retained the heat for at least 15min after it sat on the counter for awhile...Is that a normal thing for a battery...to get hot as freaking fire like that...?? just curious.

Batteries shouldn't overheat like that. Was it seated correctly (I guess it'd be hard to tell with the cover on, yes?). What brand of battery are they? I tend to immediately replace the cheap batteries that come with remotes with Duracells or other higher quality brands.

Abby, un-neutered males tend to mark their territory more often than neutered males. When a cat sprays, it's really difficult to get the smell out (of carpeting, furniture, whatever). And it can be a really bitter, almost ammonia-like smell. Nasty!

And the bigger the cat, the more smell!! There's a tiger at the zoo that walks around his enclosure, spraying. If the wind is just right and he's done a fresh spray... well, Peee-Yeeewww!

thanks Costa, it was a duracell AA, not that old.. I threw them both away and put differant battery's in, but it was just wierd. I allways keep the remote kinda slid under a section of the couch and thought if I hadnt of caught it, heck it could have caught fire or somthing...who knows...It was burning hot.

I am trying to figure this out, can anyone help out with this:

In this puzzle, each letter represents a different number. Can you work out whatnumber (0-9) each letter stands for? The leftmost letter can not be zero in any word.

W I N D
+
R A I N
+
F R E E Z E
=
W I N T E R

The F in FREEZE must get a carry of 1, since the W in WINTER is different the F.

The R in FREEZE must be 8 or 9, since it has to generate a carry of 1 and can only receive a carry of 1 or 2 from the column to its right.

The I has to be 0 or 1, since R+the carry has to be 10 or 11.

W = F + 1, since 1 is the only amount that can be carried from the R column.

That's all I got.

Sorry Bob I wasn't able to line it up then I posted the lined up one in another thread, so I will post it here, sorry.

In this puzzle, each letter represents a different number. Can you work out whatnumber (0-9) each letter stands for? The leftmost letter can not be zero in any word.

I saw it in the other thread, but there were a few responses already here.
I think my previous comments are correct, but that still leaves much work.

I gave up trying and spent 10 minutes writing a program to get the answer.

Did you know there are 3,628,800 possible combinations (and only 1 solution)?

Kiersten: Did you need the answer quickly for something or do you want hints or confirmation on any values?

I can try to post the answer in a spoiler box, in case people want to see it.

Thank you so much you two, I really appreciate it too. I hope you had fun figuring it out too, hugs.

Wow Bob I didn't know you could do that, thanks for writing a program for it, and for giving me the answer too. Yes a friend of mine is always doing challenges of some sort, and once in awhile she needs help with them. Sometimes I can do them and then other times I need the help from you guys here at TVCH. Thanks to the two of you so very much.

Cnd, for your information, Bob2112 wrote and threw together that website on his morning break. Very clever of him to make it appear it has been there since 1998, eh? Our little Spongie is just diabolically clever.
