When it happened to me 3 years ago I took everything back to the Post Office and they took it from there.

What Serate said, or just put it back in the envelope it came in, draw a diagonal line through your name and address and write "Refer to Postal Inspectors" or "Refer to Postmaster" on the face of the envelope. Put it back in the mailbox, and the post office will see that it gets to the right place.

Thanks ya'll! Its kinda scary how authentic this stuff looks. If it weren't for the fact that I know damn well we're not expecting any check in the mail, let alone one for $5000, it may have taken me more than a couple seconds to realize what it was. And of course reading the letter to go with it that says you have to send them a check for fees and taxes even bigger alarm bells going off.

Honestly, I can totally see how someone who is desperate or hopeful or even just plain greedy could get taken in by something like that if they didn't read carefully enough or ignored the warning signs!

Before you do that, I'd be sure to put "void" over your name on that check. Who knows what could happen with it once it leaves your hands!

Is there anybody who can put this in plain English for me and help me understand this statement?

Cypermethrin was observed to attenuate the reflex control of espiration and the autonomic control of circulation.

sounds like whatever cypermethrin is it helps control some reflex and circulation

Autonomic is to do with reflex action as well. So I think it means that this drug Cypermethrin was observed to reduce the ability of the body to control breathing and circulation. And I presume that's not a good thing.

(I'm assuming that's Respiration not Espiration in your sentence - I haven't heard of "espiration".)

And just a warning that that's just by looking at the words - I don't know anything about medicine so don't trust anything I say.

Thanks. I don't think it's a good thing either. Cypermethrin is the active chemical in the roach/bug fogger my brother's cat breathed in.

I'm thinking Respiration not Espiration. I just cut and pasted from the article then I closed the article by mistake.

Espiration isn't even in the dictionary, so I assume they mean respiration also.

Serate, keep checking the cat's breathing. If she's having any trouble breathing take her to the vet ASAP.

I would call the vet and let them know ASAP. There may be medical interventions (drugs to block or reverse the toxin's actions) that could help save the cat if done right away.

My best suggestion: Take kitty to the emergency vet ASAP... or at least call them for advice. Good luck to kitty.

Dumb, dumb question. Google isn't working today. Anyone else having the same problem? I can get to any website I want, except anything to do with Google. Other search engines work, in fact, everything to do with being online works, except this. Is it only me?

Bizarre. I had that exact same thing happen with my old computer and I never could figure out why. EVERY other website worked except Google. It was the strangest thing. I posted about it over in the computer help thread.

Google is working today for me.

Thanks for the link, Lori, but nothing there is any help. :-(

It worked fine this morning when I turned the machine on... now all of a sudden it's just stopped. Hopefully it'll restart itself when it's good and ready. One more "IRK ME" item with this brand new computer that doesn't freaking work the way it should.

Ah well... no wedding planning today, I guess. Where's the playstation controller?...

ETA: Immediately after clicking 'post', I tried my homepage again. Go figure, there's Google. How bizarre.

Has anyone tried the green teas here on tvch? I just bought it for the first time, and the brand I bought, YUCK, smells like old wet grass. I want to know from you is this normal of green teas or is it just the brand I bought...Stash Premium, Premium Green Tea. Is there a brand that doesn't smell out there?

Quick question: any idea where I could get a small cheap witch hat? (Besides Michaels or Hobby Lobby). TIA.

Kierstenlove, here is a link to a free sample of green tea (by celestial seasonings, I think...)

Green tea doesn't have what I call a really pleasant odour. But it does taste good and it is good for you.

LOL, Kiersten, I just went to stick my nose into the thermos and there really is a slight hint of wet grass that I never noticed before, but I add some lemon juice to mine, so that might be why it never bothered me.
A few years ago, I switched from black to green tea and haven't looked back since.
If it sits too long it can get bitter. Have stuck with Tetley's Classic. Tried their other version, didn't like it.

I drink Green tea or Mint Tea. I love the Enviga Energy Drinks that are green tea. They are made by Coke. So good.
