Either I've just gotten used to him, or this iPhone 5 is better than I thought. My Miyataman translator is working great.

How bad is Fox News? I could be a contributing dating/relationship expert on the network, that's how bad it is.

As long as you can put on a confident face like you believe the rubbish you are spouting, you can say almost anything on air.

You should try to watch it online sometime; you would probably be amazed.

That better not happen after this. If this doesn't precipitate significant gun control legislation in this country we are truly all utterly effed. It's amazing to me that the paranoid delusions of these complete gun whackos dictates our laws and the discourse while innocents are slaughtered EVERY WEEK.

Good grief that is beyond insane.

Did you mention the pain to your reflexologist?

Yes, we're scheduled to close next week on the 21st, moving the day after (which will invariably be followed by several carloads of more delicate stuff). The good part about never really getting settled in to the apartment is that we're starting off at about 30% packed.

Oh, and to make the schedule really fun, not only do we get to move and then run around visiting family for Christmas, but we're also leaving on a road trip to VA on the 29th. Eff me.

Kudos to you! Cooking is definitely better than dry food as long as it's balanced. You have more control over the ingredients and know the source. Some breeders actually feed "raw."

If this is the formula you are feeding, lamb is the first ingredient which is a good thing. The rest of the ingredients go downhill after lamb.

Lamb (natural source of glucosamine), brewers rice, corn gluten meal, whole grain corn, poultry by-product meal (natural source of glucosamine), oat meal, animal fat preserved with mixed-tocopherols (form of Vitamin E), soy flakes, whole grain wheat, soybean meal, calcium phosphate, glycerin, animal digest, calcium carbonate, salt, potassium chloride, caramel color, Vitamin E supplement, choline chloride, zinc sulfate, L-Lysine monohydrochloride, ferrous sulfate, sulfur, manganese sulfate, niacin, Vitamin A supplement, calcium pantothenate, thiamine mononitrate, copper sulfate, riboflavin supplement, Vitamin B-12 supplement, pyridoxine hydrochloride, garlic oil, folic acid, Vitamin D-3 supplement, calcium iodate, biotin, menadione sodium bisulfite complex (source of Vitamin K activity), sodium selenite. S-4162

Dogs are carnivores - corn is a cheap filler. I would stay away from wheat and by-products not to mention soybean. I like Fromm Family - they have their own manufacturing facilities. http://frommfamily.com/products/four...me-bird-recipe

Compare the ingredients between Purina and Fromm - you'll see what I'm talking about. Any dog can become allergic to eating the same food day in and out. Perhaps try salmon or the game bird recipe. Each dog is different and will react differently. What works for one dog, might not work for another - it's trial & error. Perhaps he's allergic to lamb. Try another protein. FYI - older dogs need high protein. It's false info when they say older dogs do not need as much protein as a younger dog - in fact, they need more. Most Vets know zippo about nutrition. Real food from the table is good as long as there isn't onions. It's a good idea to rotate food.

Way to go! That is the most sensible thing that came out of your mouth so far. Be happy with your dog and bike and lose the drama IMO. It's ok to be alone. Your friend has way too many issues. From what you wrote, she doesn't bring anything to the table that will make you happy. You can only be responsible for your happiness.

Best of luck with your new car.
