Re: [AlwaysLearning] travelling unschoolers and cat pee

The Queen of Clean highly, highly recommends ODORZOUT for any offending smell.
I have some and it's worked great for me whenever I've used it.

door instead. I have used every concoction imaginable, (but if anyone
has some other idea, I'd love to hear it) to try to get the smell up on
the rug and the mat. We don't smell it, but I think there must be some
sort of smell, since whenever I leave a mat (just cotton things) down
(and only at night for some reason) she'll pee on it. I can't figure it
out. Without a mat the rug must still smell, but she leaves it alone. It
can't be a health thing, since as long as I pick up the mat at night she
always leaves the area alone and uses the litter box. Getting a male cat
to not spray is much more difficult if they've already done it. I agree
that getting them fixed as young as recommended (six months or even
sooner - before they start spraying) is the way to go.

Travelling Willbury's would be way cool, but travelling unschoolers
could be fun too.
I was going to combine this into my last post (which had the intro), but
it would've been way too long.
The one good thing about the Navy is that dh will be able to retire when
he's 48 (in 8 years). That is very cool. I can surely put up with it
until then.
(hold on, I'm coming to the connection)
When we retire we're going to move to upstate NY - the adirondacks to be
more precise. We like to go there for the summers. The kids do know
other kids there, though we are pretty far from others - sort of out in
the boondocks. We spent one year up there a couple of years ago while dh
went to school in Boston. So we even know a bunch of homeschoolers.
(just as a btw, with the couple of dozen families we know up there and
have done stuff with, never was religion ever even mentioned. I don't
even know what anyone's religion is.)
To allow us to spend as much time as we wanted for as long as we wanted,
we decided that mil's cabin just wasn't going to cut it. So we bought an
old fixer-upper farm house that we work on a bit every summer. If anyone
really is doing a road trip and ends up that way in the summer months,
we'd be happy to have you. :-) We have some acres, a stream, beaver
ponds, and then there's always grandma's lake. If it is too cold for
tents (or the coyotes scare ya) there's always the not-yet-done upstairs
which includes multiple layers of grandma's teensy-weensy-flowers wall
paper mixed in with a few assorted holes in the plaster. Hey, at least
you'll stay dry. :-) Also, we have two cats and two dogs.

Something I learned today - My spell checker didn't like two l's in
travelling, but my dictionary said the two l variation is British, so I
left them with two. Does anyone know if any others, besides George, in
the Travelling Willbury's are British? Or maybe a Willbury is a cute
furry British animal? Where did they get that name?
