Oh my gosh I found this kind that the store Target sells that are made in Australia, and they are just the best pieces of confection I have ever put in my pie hole.

does she like licorice?
not that American plastic stuff, the soft Australian, Black Opal brand. I get it at Target - eat some everyday and works very well as a natural laxative. Did anyone suggest bran muffins? (I didn't read all the posts).
What about red ant bites?
You might want to see what those look like. I don't know. I know it seems like he would have felt himself being bitten, but sometimes you don't when you're exerting yourself and can't stop to think about pain.
All they do around here for Copperhead bites - sm
is antibiotics, people included. We have lots of Copperhead here though they seem to keep to themselves for the most part, have only seen 3 in our yard in 10 years, but I know they are out there. But their poison is not poisonous enough to require antivenin luckily. It basically does nothing to dogs neurologic wise (neighbors dog has been bit by copperheads numerous times, dog is fine, only treated with antibiotics), though it can cause neuro problems in people, it cetainly won't kill you, not like your rattlesnakes there. Used to watch that show Venom ER, nasty around there, you really have to be on your toes in that area. I have almost stepped on 2 copperhead just while walking on our road, since they like to come out and lie on the rocks of the gravel road we live on, I never look down at the road while walking.....not good. I can spot the black snakes a ways off as they obviously stand out, see lots of them, just go around them and they usually sliter off when they hear someone coming close, the copperhead don't unfortunately, stand their ground, so have to be careful when walking, luckily it is getting colder now though so they should be going into burrows for the winter.
Aww, this one only hurts me when he bites me.
And he only does that when he gets really, really sassy... either he thinks my hand is prey, or worse yet, a girl gecko, and reptile foreplay involves teeth....
I do have 4 others, same species. One of the girls has been known to take a snap at me (she'll snap at anything that moves, my mighty little predator) but she has never actually clamped down on me because as soon as she gets my finger in her lil' jaws, she realizes I am not food and she lets go. Mr. Bonehead, on the other hand, is so stupid he'll hang on long enough for me to go get the camera and shoot several pictures of him hanging off my finger.... Eventually he figures out that I am neither food nor girlfriend material, and he lets go, especially if I start spraying him in the face with the misting bottle.... (At which time he just looks at me as if to say, what are you doing, I'm trying to get lucky and you're spraying my face!)
I have gotten to where I know his body language well enough that I know when he might have mischief or mayhem in mind, and I watch him carefully. He hasn't taken a chunk out of me in quite a while now. :)
Soft porn pictures, how about your soft porn posts?
Go climb back in your slime ball life.
Quality not quantity, I always say. LOL
Of course if you can have both quality AND quantity, more power to ya, I say.
Oh yeah, and that goes for sex, too. (grin)
considered quality foods by whom? sm
I have heard many negative things about both of these pet foods for years. I do not consider them to be quality foods, by a long shot, and this was even before the tainted food scandal. That's what I am talking about.
I think it depends on your definition of quality...sm
Iams, Eukanuba Science Diet, Purina Pro Plan, Nutro, etc. (found at Petsmart, Petco) are considered 'premium' foods, and they *are* better quality than, say, Purina Pedigree, Walmart's Ol' Roy (~shudder~), Kibbles N Bits, and other such brands that can be found in your local grocery store.
Just look at the ingredients. The cheaper, grocery store brands have grains as the very *first* ingredient (rice, corn, whatever) - not meat, or even meat meal. Dogs are carnivores. They need very little in the way of grains (carbs) - they need meat, but of course grains are cheaper than meat.
I guess it just depends on what you can afford to feed, and how important you think diet is. There have been lean times, long ago, when we've had to feed Pedigree to our dogs. (Not for long, thank goodness.) As we've been able, we've 'upgraded' so to speak. We went from Pedigree to Authority (which is a Petsmart brand) to Iams, to Eukanuba, to now, Innova (except my senior is on prescription Science Diet L/D for his elevated liver enzymes - though that may change as I've never been a fan of Science Diet & it doesn't seem to be helping anyway...)
But, if you can afford to feed better food, the premium brands are a step up from the 'grocery store' brands. Even better are the 'super premium' foods that can't be found in Petsmart or Petco. You usually have to find a small local distributor for these brands (Innova - what we currently feed, Flint River, Canidae, Solid Gold, etc. are considered super premium).
A step above the 'super premium' dry food is super premium canned food (because it has even more meat), and then a step above that is preparing the food yourself, with fresh ingredients (there are some good books out there for this, but I'm not that ambitious yet!)
I wish I had a good website to direct people to for all this. Most of this stuff I learned from the Siberian Husky listserv group I used to belong to. It's interesting stuff.
I agree with the person who said vets aren't experts on pet food. They aren't, because they aren't nutritionists. And from what I've heard, many vets are heavily influenced by Science Diet, (and other companies) starting from the time they're in vet school. As I said, Science Diet has never impressed me.
What I'm not quite understanding in all of this is why some people seem to be blaming individual pet food brands, when the problem came from a tainted ingredient that went to so many *different* brands.
The thing is, there are a lot of pet food companies, but there aren't a lot of pet food ingredient *manufacturers* here in our country. So I wouldn't hold this current tainted pet food problem against any certain brands, because I don't think we can really trust any brand where any of their ingredients come from outside our country, which *I think* means most brands other than maybe some of the super premiums. (Don't quote me on that though, I'm still investigating!)
Try Catherine's - nice quality sm
dresses and pant sets; can order online or local stores.
Silhouettes has good quality clothes as well; i think they are only catalog / online.
For good quality alfalfa
its running 16.99 a bale (gulp), but I get 1.00 discount for 10 or more. I don't have a big storage area, so unfortunately I can't buy it buy the ton & not expect it to get moldy.
Keep a stash of quality dark chocolate around at all times. For

Mowing in the evening hours improves air quality...
My son has asthma. I've learned learned a thing or two about air quality and air pollution.
I don't know if this is why the OP's neighbor is mowing late, but I mow late and yet I get it done before 10 p.m.
Quite frankly, I think some of you all are being a bit sensitive! And just as much as your right to peace and quiet is being infringed upon, you are trying to infringe upon your neighbors rights to do what he wants in his own yard and inside is own house!
Not rich or snooty either, just love good quality
items and buy them when I want. Who wants to shop at the local mall and get something that everyone else wears and see it all over town? Just like jewelry; I don't wear the average items you see advertised every holiday season that everyone wears and every jewelry store sells. My guy gets my things made at a one of kind store, where at least I know I'm probably the only one who has it.
I was in Macy's recently, the INC line is pretty good quality, I think.

Even higher bill w/3 cells & a land line, but sound quality & customer service are good.

Soft Paws (sm)
http://www.softpaws.com/
Wear a soft t-shirt for a while and
leave it in her favorite place to sleep so she will have your scent. Mine love to sleep on my clothes!
soft paws - yes they work :)
Hi,
I moved recently, and we brought my daughter's cat with us. There was no way we could do anything else with him. He is an older cat, and they have grown up together. We moved into a beautiful home, but there was no way I could bring myself to declaw him, especially at his age. It just wasn't an option. So, we researched what we could do for him, and we opted to "try" the Soft Paws. Well, they have been a godsend for us.
Some advice - you do have to clip their nails before putting the paws on, so you need a good clippers and need to be very careful for the vein that runs through the claw. If you are not comfortable trimming their nails, of course you could get it done professionally. The plastic covers slip on and are glued over the clipped nails. You do need to be very careful to get the proper size. They go by weight, and my cat actually needed the large - he didn't meet the weight, but he is a bigger cat, and his feet are just bigger :P. If they are too small, they come off very easily, and I think they are uncomfortable for the cat. Also, they do need to be replaced about every 2 months - they fall off eventually as the nail grows out, and you need to repeat the process. We find that it is worth it though, even with the little nail caps laying around on the floor occasionally! :P
My "furkid" adapted very well to the soft paws... so I would definitely consider them as an option. Hope this helped! :D
Yes, it is soft and scratches easy because...sm
bamboo is not really a wood, it is a grass turned into a *wood* - it scratches easily (kitty litter can scratch it) and so it's *shoes off* in my house. *laughs* I studied woods for 5 years before I made my choice, knowing all about it scratching easy but since my kids are ALL GROWN UP....no problem here. *S*
Our husky is getting soft, he is really good - sm
about coming in when called for the most part (not when he lived with my dad though). But on the cooler nights he tends to drag his feet coming in. Or just give me a look from down where he is lying on the deck ( you know how husky's are) and you know he is thinking I will coming in when I am darned ready to. I then check back in 5 or so minutes and he will come in then, so funny. I usually leave the dogs out until I am going to bed (11-12) and he runs right in and lays down on his dog bed and goes right to sleep. Need to start walking him though, he gained like 10 pounds this last year and he is a big boy as it is (85#-- does not look overweight though which is good, still has a nice waist just a little thicker than it should be) and he only has 3 legs so that is not good for him (2 front, 1 back). Maybe after dinner now that it is starting to cool down, way too hot before with all his fur.
I think sometimes men are not supposed to have a soft side
some think of as not being masculine but he shows me a calming, soothing, softened touch that I could just eat out of his hand. If he could bottle and sell, women would make him rich beyond his wildest. He is from a very large family, 11 in all and get this- none of the guys (around 7 or so), all married and not 1 divorce in the group! I think that speaks volumes- the range of age is from around 60s down to the upper 40s. I accused him of sprinkling gold dust in my eyes because years later still have that same feeling!
bread; soft fruit

Wow! I actually use medium, but not soft. I don't understand sm
how you have cavities due to a hard toothbrush? I mean, cavities are caused by not brushing.
And root issues due to a hard brush? Again, I'm not disputing what you are saying, but enamel and gums are two completely different things.
And 2 minutes is the minimum that you should brush your teeth. The only thing I will retract in my post is the firm brush - medium is good -soft for sensitive teeth.
If soft porn could possibly be more

I have a soft spot for this story. sm
My aunt went through a similar story. She had a highschool sweetheart, but the families couldn't get along. So, Aunt went off to college, met and married. Had 2 boys. HS sweetie went to different college, met and married, had 3 kids.
They met at 30th HS reunion. Both divorced and alone, children grown up. Both lived in different states so decided to write back and forth via email. After a couple years, they moved closer to one another and started dating. A year later they were married.
They were very happy together and planned their retirement time to spend traveling the country in their RV. They got 5 happy years together, including 1 year of retirement. Aunt got very ill and died suddenly.
Moral of story: Life is shorter than you think. Do the best you can with what you have.
My mom painted hers a soft gold color
in the family room, and it looks great. If you have built-in cabinets in the same room, sometimes you'll see contrasting colors used for the inside back, and that can look interesting.
Hmm, hard water versus soft
Well might have thought about that but this was noticed as soon as the tile installed and has never been mopped so nothing like that. Heavens only knows where these little spots came from but definitely not water route.
My dentist says SOFT toothbrush, never firm!
All these years, everyone thought stiff brushes were better than soft, and the harder and longer you brushed, the better. WRONG! I now have lots of cavity and root issues going on because I have essentially worn off much of the enamel on my teeth between the gumline and the center of the tooth. Have had to have more cavities filled, as well as lots of restorative work. Now I use a soft baby's toothbrush!
Fixing a flat (soft drink, that is)....... (sm)
I do this one all the time: Ever leave half a Coke in the fridge, only to come back later and it's FLAT? I simply open up a new one and add some in with the flat stuff, and the result is actually a smoother, yet still carbonated soft drink. And then you haven't wasted half a can.
Coffee ice cream or soft serve vanilla
or chocolate case with fudge icing or butter cake with chocolate frosting or ... how many - just ONE?
yes I do, i like soft music, might even have on a CD of Frank Sinatra. Very calming. nm

I'd cook the rice first to make sure it's soft and edible

Green bean casserole - need a soft veggie dish!
I just went on line and found ultra soft brushes from Oral-B and
a few others. I hope this helps someone. The pack of 6 was $18.99, I believe.
Roast up onions & peppers for fajitas. Make roll-ups out of them with soft
s
Rolls, dessert (some kind of soft pie or chocolate pie). Instead of potato salad, maybe sm
mashed potatoes since they are edentulous. Green bean casserole was a great idea. Corn casserole too is yummy.
Yeah, the True Blood series is basically like soft porn...
definitely not advisable for a 14 year old!!!
What do you think of the quality of clothing today. What I looked at shopping today in nice stores
the stuff wasnt even sewn properly. Do you have to look at everything you buy or just hope it lasts a year.
I'm black
and was not allowed to watch shows with mostly black actors either. I got the beating of my life when I got caught watching Soul Train. My brother got the beating of his life when he got caught watching 'Good Times' with JJ and Thelma.
My mom was very serious about education and steering us away from shows that glorified negative stereotypes of black people.
I also could not watch:
BET
MTV
VH1 (could not watch any music videos whatsoever).
I find myself doing the same thing with my son. No matter what the race of the actors, I do not allow him to watch 'dumb' shows....shows that contribute nothing that is beneficial to him.
you could do orange and black
streamers (i think that is what they are called) like are used at bday parties. Outline your trunk with. Then a really cute idea I thought of was if you could find a scarecrow for cheap or make one that can sit, sit it in your trunk and put the candy on top of it like it is bathing in candy. You could also put a fake pumpkin or real in there on top like it is floating in the water for his rubber duck
No Black Friday
No Black Friday thing this year because I didn't see anything that jumped out at me in the sale papers....until dh told me about Walmart's secret items that they just found out about on Wednesday. They had a computer tower, mouse and keyboard for 148 bucks. (you had to supply your own monitor). I thought they would be great for the boys. It was one to a customer so I recruited Kristi (my 19 year) to come with me. I was up and out the door at 3:30, planning to pick Kristi up and be in line by 4 for the 5am sale. Walmart had their greeters handing out maps so that you could find the sale items and get in the right line. I was all over that store because these computers were not where the map said they were. I asked lots of associates and got pointed in lots of directions and I was MOVING man! LOL Kristi was like, MOM, it's 4 in the morning, slow down. You have to forgive her, she's never been to a Black Friday sale. I teased her that she should be able to keep up with an old lady. LOL
Finally, I'm back to the place on the map, with a huge sign pointing down to where those computers are supposed to be and flag down a manager, who goes in the back and checks. He comes back out to me and says that they never got any!!! What??? You never got any?? And he says there are no rainchecks either since they never got them. What?????
So that was the end of that. I did end up getting, on a whim, two gamer chairs...the last two they had. They were on sale for less than half of what they usually are. I NEVER buy things on a whim, but I figured if I bought them and decided it wasn't a good idea, I could always return them. If I didn't buy them and THEN decided it WAS a good idea, I'd be kicking myself.
At least I didn't walk out of there with nothing so that the entire trip wasn't a waste, right?? LOL
If you went to the sales in the wee hours of the morning, how did you do? Did you get what you went for?
pot/kettle/black

She is only defending him because he's black
just like Jamie Fox said it which is probably where she got her idea.
First of all, get a black keyboard. (sm)
But I have alcohol wipes I use about once a week over the keyboard. It helps a lot. Or even HandiWipes help. But to get down in the valleys I do resort to a Q-Tip and alcohol on occasion.
Lewis Black
Ever see Lewis Black do his routine about the weather when he stayed in Boston? Pretty funny!
Two black beauties!
They look like the best of friends!
Or a black snake.

Is this family black? sm
It sure sounds it. My experience growing up in a fairly racially segregated town is that white funerals are reserved and solemn, black funerals are loud and dramatic--whether celebratory or morose. I swear they try to outdo each other in their show of grief. I've never seen so many women pass out in one place as I did at a black funeral.
I don't think anything you say will "comfort" them because it's their culture to put on a dramatic grief-stricken show.
