Ha, easy big fella - I was talking about frame, not spare tires.

Sorry; apparently the coffee just kicked in.

I do have a pic of us that will break Addiction when I post it.

I've become really good at saying 'shut up and let me talk, then if you have any unanswered questions or insightful thoughts, you will get your turn when I am done.' Very nicely of course, people seem to take it well so I think I'm finessing it ok.

Mostly I think those types of people just really want to be involved in their pet's care. My style is that I give people enough info to understand the pros and cons of their options, then I make my recommendations. But all decisions are kind of mutual things, in vet med there's always considerations beyond what's best medically- quality of life, cost, logistics.

So sometimes even the people who come in with their notes and google search results and talk over me 5 times in the first 10 min of the appointment commonly start to chill out at some point during our consultation, when they start to realize that I actually am going to involve them in the decision making.

But boy it gets tedious, asking grown adults to please not interrupt me...

We grow rosemary, thyme, oregano and sage. Rosemary is really easy, a hardy, tough plant.

I never understood your side of that whole issue, that I didn't even know existed until just now, until just now.

I saw some draft lines during one of my duathlons this year and that pissed me right off. :mad:

Only some of them?

Some of them might benefit more than others. The time on the bike might be the only time not spent stuffing their pie hole with hostess snack cakes and Diet Coke chasers.
