If you have ever lived with a cat, you know The Paw. You see it all the time, reaching up to swipe something off a table, maybe stretched around a corner to retrieve a toy.

Or I should say we watch a lot of what I classify as indie films in our house. The term &#147indie&#148 or &#147independent&#148 film has become quite dilute over the past few years, so my definition... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~440156524164 Wed, 6 Aug 2008 14:33:03 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_440156524164?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_439789850244?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author millinocket - How do you like to learn about microbiology? Everyone has their own favorite way, be it classes, DVDs, books or discussions with your friendly neighborhood bacteriology professor. My path of choice is the plush toy.

On one hand, I certainly remember them fondly from my childhood and enjoy it greatly when I see something that has a bit of that good old fairy tale magic interwoven into the story. On the other hand, how many... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~439401811588 Fri, 1 Aug 2008 00:14:30 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_439401811588?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_439274475140?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author millinocket - The Incident &#147What is that? Does anyone hear that? Is there a moose in heat in here? What is that horrible noise?. Oh, good Lord, it&#146s coming from the cat.

I do not like Christian Bale. There, I said it &#150 the whole world is in love with him but something about him has always bugged me. I don&#146t actively avoid all of his movies, but he really doesn&#146t much... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~438948433540 Mon, 28 Jul 2008 14:18:55 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_438948433540?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_438355136132?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author millinocket - I am not a middle child. Nor do I have any middle children. I know some middle children, but I don&#146t think that counts as experiencing the phenomenon for myself. But I was an eleven year old girl.

With the exception of illness and the occasional treat, they ate their kibble happily and with the blessings of their vet. But two barely-weaned kittens have changed things. Their foster... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~438070906500 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 19:19:03 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_438070906500?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_437279886980?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author millinocket - I love thrillers. Unfortunately, there are lots of thrillers out there and only a small percentage actually thrill me. It could be that I&#146m very picky (which is quite likely) or that Hollywood likes to send out a lot of &#147thrillers&#148,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~437279886980 Mon, 14 Jul 2008 21:02:29 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_437279886980?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_436782599812?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author millinocket - Some things are so simple, yet so genius. Come on, don&#146t we all wish we had invented Velcro? That&#146s how I feel about the Cat Dancer.

For a Crazy Cat Lady In Training like myself, this is quite a long time to be feline-less. But the difficult and untimely death of our wonderful young cat before Christmas took its... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~436373982852 Mon, 7 Jul 2008 15:34:33 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_436373982852?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_435831410308?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author millinocket - I believe, in general, that almost anything can be funny. In the right hands, even the most serious, dramatic, emotional themes can be given just the proper twist to make them either darkly humorous or slapstick silly. Of course, the opposite is also... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~435831410308 Wed, 2 Jul 2008 21:51:27 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_435831410308?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_435709120132?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author millinocket - If you have ever gone sightseeing you know how absolutely essential a good pair of walking shoes is to any trip.

Of course, back then, those books belonged to my brother. Encyclopedia is a boy, so his stories were deemed books for boys. That didn’t keep me from reading them (in... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~435251482244 Fri, 27 Jun 2008 21:24:07 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_435251482244?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_434025696900?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author millinocket - I am a Congenital Night Owl (CNO).

On one hand I was fascinated by all the grown up things she was taking, but on the other I was holding back little girl tears because I didn’t want her to go.

I usually use two different cleansers, a moisturizer and a sunscreen, but I find that it simply isn’t practical to cart all these products with me when I travel.

But……I love Steve Carell. I even love him enough to see a movie marketed as a rom/com just because he plays the lead role.
