It’s Earth Day!! What are you going to do to make a difference?

Apr 22, 2010 @ 11:10am

Do you think it says anything that it’s raining in Kansas City on Earth Day?
Maybe Mother Earth isn’t happy with the way KC’s been treating her? Or maybe it’s just an April shower that will soon follow with May flowers?

However you look at it I hope you are thinking about what you can do!
Take a minute and get the facts!! Read more about the core issues here- http://www.earthday.org/core-issues

Maybe going to the Farmers Market or car pooling doesn’t fit in to your busy schedule, but something does! Everyone can to make time to make a difference! Once you find out how easy it is you’ll want to do more!

You know you hate all that random junk mail, right? Well get ride of it! Go to the company’s website and take your address OFF the mailing list, yes you can do that!

How about signing up for E-bill rather than checking your mail box for bills you don’t want and are going to through out eventually anyway.

From using less water to taking your own bag or recycling, everyone can be doing something!!

There are some really cool website that can help you go green. I like Treehugger.com personally. It lets you choose from all kinds of different scenarios.
Whether you want tips on being green in general or in a specific situation or event, they’ve got info on everything green and more!

Make this the year you start considering the environment, everyone is doing it!!

The Pet Connection Needs Our Help!! Please Read & Spread the Word!!

Apr 16, 2010 @ 7:55am

Effective immediately, The Mission Pet Connection will be closing its adoption center Mondays through Fridays until enough money can be raised to reopen. We will still be open on weekends and adoptions can be done by appointment during the week. In the past three months we have been under extensive scrutiny from several different agencies. We have been inspected by the state veterinary board, the state animal health department, the fire department, and the city because of “anonymous complaints” or “routine inspections”. We may have made someone mad or it may all just be a strange coincidence, but either way, we have needed to use the majority of our time and resources handling these repeated inspections. Lawyer fees and extra staff time have drained our bank account.

We need help to raise enough money to reopen our doors. We want to continue to help the thousands of animals we help each year through our adoption center and clinic. We want to continue to provide assistance to other rescue shelters and rescue groups so that they can help more pets. But we also need to prepare ourselves in case we need to shut our doors forever. As hard as it is, we are currently no longer taking in cats or large dogs to prepare ourselves in case we have to close for good. Many organizations and animals rely on our care.

With enough money we can re-open our doors to the public every day and can begin taking in dogs and cats into our shelter again. This bump in the road only has to be a small set back to the overall good that we provide to this community.

Please contact Melody Kelso and/or Jason Huff for details on how to help and/or for details on an informational meeting that will be held in the next few days to explain the circumstances to those interested. Donations can be made at www.thepetconnection.net or by coming to our facility. Jack 105 will be having a live remote at our facility on Saturday from 10A-12N to help raise needed sponsorships. Address: 5918 Broadmoor, Mission. KS 66202.

That’s right!! Many Restaurants and Retails offer special promotions on Tax Day… In case you live under a rock, it’s TOMORROW!!

I found a lot of stores are offering online discounts but aren’t really advertising it that much. So if you were going to buy something, lets say for your Apartment, I’d do it tomorrow!

Popular sales include 15% off for April 15th or things reduced to $10.40 mocking the 1040 Tax form.

Kenneth Cole, Footlocker & Dell are just a few Major brands offering online discounts tomorrow!

Check out the list below for Store locations offering free or reduced items on April 15th!

If you’re used to getting a free Burrito at Chipotle on 4/15, that’s now just a memory! As of 2009 they are know longer offering it, a TOTAL bummer I no, that was the only offer worth looking forward to, in my opinion!

Apartment Communities are also offering Tax Days Sales so log on to KCPA’s website and a Rental Advisor can fill you in!!http://www.kcpremierapts.com/

If you haven’t done your Taxes yet, you still have time to do them or at least file an extension!

Egg-xcellent Idea’s for Your Leftover Easter Eggs!!

Apr 07, 2010 @ 3:40pm

Of course the obvious ones are always good…

Egg Salad

Potato Salad

Egg Sandwich, with cheese of course!

Deviled Eggs

Deviled Egg dip

BLT with Egg

Eggs are good chopped or diced in any green Salad or Pasta Salad, the possibilities are endless!!

Use the left over hard boiled eggs to add texture to Mashed Potatoes, Meatloaf or even Macaroni!!

I made a yummy breakfast skillet by sauteing hash brown’s, onions, bell peppers, and bacon, then I threw in the chopped egg at the end added cheese on top and it was better than Denny’s lol

Also try toasting an English Muffin and topping it with a tomato basil spread, sliced hard boiled egg, fresh tomato and some cheese, add a little paprika if you like… delish!

If you don’t like Eggs or just sick of them you can always peel the shells and use them in a garden or house plant. Give the egg to your dog and then put him outside, I’ve heard giving eggs to a dog can cause some major gas lol

If you’re still looking for ways to get ride of your Eggs, I suggest giving them to someone who has a garden and a dog.

Or maybe offer them up to your Apartment Community for their garden =)

Remember if you plan on eating them still you better hurry! Experts say eggs are good for 1 week after being boiled as long as they are not cracked.

Happy Egg Eating!
