I drove my neighbor and his puppy to the emergency vet. He didn't know I snapped this picture. Shortly after he died from parvo. Couldn't help but shed a few...

Actually this is not always so black and white. We adopted a pupper from a rescue and they gave us her papers with the first round of vaccines correctly indicated by a vet. We brought her home and scheduled her follow up for the second round of vaccines with our local vet.

About three days after we got her she started acting lethargic and dry heaving. We brought her to the vet immediately and they did x-rays to check for a blockage, they tested for parasites and everything came back negative. The Dr actually mentioned Parvo but said that since Jujube had her first round of shots it was highly unlikely.

They gave her subcutaneous fluids and sent us home. The following day she was puking up yellow gunk and I brought her right back to the vet. This time they tested her and it came back positive for Parvo. The vet said that the reason they do 3 rounds of vaccines is because the first one or even two rounds sometimes don't take due to the mother's immunity still being in effect.

She had to stay at the vet for 2 nights receiving IV fluids and then we brought her home since they were closed weekends. I made her chicken and rice mush with tons of water and we kept a vigil with her to keep her clean and be sure she didn't have to sleep in her own sick. We brought her in Monday for more fluids and a check up. It took about a week and a half of medications and chicken mush and subcutaneous fluids but she pulled through and is now almost 10 months old.

This is her as a sick puppy: http://imgur.com/nGSux This is a fairly recent picture of her: http://imgur.com/dwHaB

She is some kind of mix, the rescue ad said hound/lab mix but the trainer and the vet call her a vizsla mix.

Enchilada casserole:

2 cans enchilada sauce (I usually go with Ortega but I think they are all the same) 1 lb ground turkey or chicken (beef is ok too but it tastes better with poultry) 1 can black beans 1 package soft whole wheat tortillas 8oz pack shredded Mexican blend shredded cheese (save 1/2 cup for the end) Assorted Mexican staple spices like Oregano, Garlic (not garlic salt!), Cumin.

Heat oven to 350. Use a fairly deep casserole dish. Stop layering ingredients about 1/2 inch from the top OR place dish on a foil covered cookie sheet to catch drips while baking.

Brown meat in a frying pan. Add about 1 tablespoon of canola oil if you use the poultry, none needed if you use beef.

Add some garlic or garlic powder, cumin and dried oregano if desired. For Mexican food the oregano tastes best if you crush it to powder in your fingers. (1/2 - 1 tsp of each is more than enough so don't go nuts) Hot sauce if you like it spicier.

Pour in one and a half cans of sauce.

Tear the tortillas into quarters or sixths

Layer the meat, cheese, tortillas starting the bottom layer with meat and ending with tortillas. Make sure you lay the tortilla pieces carefully to cover each layer before glopping on the next.

On the top layer of tortilla pour the rest of the enchilada sauce and spread out the last of your cheese.

Bake uncovered at 350 for 20 min until the cheese is bubbly and delicious looking

Let it sit for a few minutes before serving. This will be a bit messy when you serve it but it is delicious!

I make lampshades.... yep, lampshades!

I sell them on etsy and at craft shows and home parties now but it started as a hobby and I still love doing it.

Good point here with the sneaking and trying the ring on. That is seriously a no-no.

ecancil · 1 year

Mine is a blue topaz, it is 4.5 karats and was less than $600 including the wedding band.

I am so very happy with it and with my marriage. If it is meant to be the ring is the least important part of it (in my opinion). Movies and TV tell it differently of course. The 3 karat flawless diamond from the "regular Joe" doesn't happen. A ring costing as much as a car is crazy when you are starting out.

If finding a ring makes everyday steak and BJ day then men across the globe would be hiding jewelry throughout their homes.

I must admit that my hubby might get a toe curler or two if I found some matching earrings for my engagement ring. (Blue Topaz because it is my birth stone, favorite color, reasonably priced and not supporting the diamond industry)

Plus, make her watch blood diamond. Old rings are less likely to be drenched in the blood of children. (unless she is into that kind of thing)

I want to know how you proposed, I got proposed to in a conversation on the phone and by proposed to I mean it was taken as a given that we were getting married so now, how many kids and where do you want to live?

I thought it was hysterical and I made him do it again properly so that I could tell those kids something a little better than "I don't really know, I guess it just came up and I didn't say no"

ecancil · 1 year

I would be very wary of falling for her excuses when she comes back. It does sound like she isn't ready to get engaged since if she was ready she wouldn't care if it was an heirloom or just a gum wrapper ring. The fact that she was tactless enough to blame it on not wanting your Grandmother's ring really makes me think she has little or no regard for your feelings or your family.

Drop her like a bad habit!

This is a great cause. He was all sold out (480 sales) so I donated directly but I also want a wolverine drawing for my husband!

My sister in law had no idea what foods have vitamins, or even that different colors = different vitamins (very over simplified I know), no idea what carbs are and no knowledge of any kind of nutritional guidelines like eating vegetables in some form every day.

She is 28, has a 4 year degree in early childhood education and is in charge of feeding kids at a daycare center.

I had a cockroach hurled at me while I was working as a front desk clerk at a Sheraton.

It was like 2am and a man walked into the lobby (Florida, outside entrance Motel style property) he waited patiently in line while holding a covered waterglass in his hand so I thought he was looking for the ice maker.

When he got to the front of the line I asked how I could help him and he said "you can clean these fucking rooms!" and pulled the little paper cap off his water glass and then flicked it at me as if it was full of water. There was a roach inside. It hit my shirt.

I started screaming as if I had just been shot (not really that traumatic because ... shit, it is Florida, I have seen bigger roaches everyday for years) Security comes racing over, the people in line behind him start cursing him out and calling him names, I keep screaming.

Finally he starts to look ashamed of himself, I let him apologize and he left with security following him to the room. which had the door propped open while the guy was gone... like an hour with his wife and kids asleep inside... Turns out the family was leaving the front door open so they could see the pool from the room while the kids played in it.

List of douchery:

Watches his small kids swim from inside a room about 50 feet away, dangerous.

Leave wife and kids asleep in a hotel room with the DOOR OPEN so anyone can see them or walk in, dangerous.

Catches a cockroach and brings it to a hotel front desk, waits in like for 20 minutes to fling the live roach at a 19 year old girl at 2am.

If you do get a Hibachi you will need to put some thought into your table of choice to use it on.

You will want to avoid plastic obviously but also Glass. My cousin set up a hibachi on a glass patio side table and it melted right through.

I would suggest a wooden table with a layer of bricks on top or even a cinder block stand (if you have them around or can get them cheap) I guess you could use a glass table with bricks but they might scratch your table up or might be too heavy.

We use a Hibachi mainly for beaches and camping. If you take it to a beach though make sure you douse your ashes well and dispose of them properly, don't just bury them to be dug up later by some kid playing.

I didn't see any facts in your little summary of class prejudice. Here is my arbitrary and completely pulled from my ass list to match and or exceed yours:

Republicans are grumpy old white men and their sexually unfulfilled wives and brainwashed spawn while democrats are young, hip and in loving relationships whether married or not. Republicans drive H3's with their 3.8 squalling brats baking in the heat since they can't afford gas to cover the AC while Democrats are saving the planet in their chic little 4 cylinder sexy hybrids or mini coopers. Republicans feed at the teat of their pedophile priests and page molesting elected representatives while democrats are free thinkers who support net neutrality and an improved standard of living for all. Republicans are hypocrites who claim they follow Jesus while spitting on the poor and degrading the sick while democrats are all selflessly working in charities that the REAL Jesus would approve of handing out food and medicines while happy birds and fluffy bunnies cavort gleefully around them.

"Republicans are better education" while Democrats have better educations.
