dead dogs and cats, complete with flea collars, tags, anything - from the kill shelters and labs! Google dog food and ingredients - you might be shocked, or else you know and don't mind. I am assuming you aren't aware, as you posted it in response to boycotting Iams. Any pet food producers save for the ones who specifically use holistic ingredients, use recycled dead animals, road kill, slaughter house rejected sick or down animals, etc. This is why so many of our dogs have allergies and illnesses. For instance, if a dog gets euthanized at a vet cause its sick and dying, and it was on thyroid meds til its death - those bodies get saved - if the owners don't take the dog home and bury it - these bodies are all collected by processors, who then melt them down in a chemical vat - flea collars, leashes, medicines in their blood stream, whatever. Then when all these animals, a.k.a. ingredients are liquid ooze, they make them into kibbles. The companies like Purina, etc., then coat some with special enticing flavors, like Gravy Train, which are really more liquified animals, and there ya go! A complete cycle of food/dog/food/dog. This is not maniacal rumor - if interested, just read up on the articles by vets, etc. My dogs LOVE Purina - don't get me wrong, but I can't bring myself to feed it to them anymore. Its such an evil industry - just like so many others in the USA - greedy and not up front. If we all knew for sure what we were giving our beloved pets, we'd never even put the bag in our car! I feed my dogs Wellness or Merricks', or Blue Buffalo, and the difference in their health, energy, allergies is AMAZING. I have yellow labs prone to ear things and hot spots - all gone since the garbage dog food. All these allergies and skin things are suposed to be the toxins from this horrible dog food working their way out of the dog's system. And, by the way, each batch of regular dog food is different - because each batch of dead animal ingredients is different - think about Mad Cow - same start, really. Gotta go! Bye!

Thanks everyone for your advice and support.

I was a little surprise this morning when the neighbor guy knocked on my door.  I was expecting to be read the riot act or something but got just the opposite.

Turns out that the guy is the girls father but the woman who I assumed was her mother is actually the aunt (father's sister).  His wife died in a car accident 3 months before they moved here.  The girl was in the car with her mother and younger brother.  Dad was out of town on business and it took them almost two full days to find him because the girl was in shock and refused to speak for almost a month after.  Both her mother and her baby brother (3 years old) died in the accident.  The aunt is living there to help him with the daughter he said the girl has had severe psychological problems since the accident. 

He was very apologetic for going off the deep end yesterday and that he normally is a rational man.  I really felt bad for the guy.

He also told me that he appreciated us letting his daughter come over and play before but would understand if she was not welcome back.  Said that his daughter completely withdrew from her friends at her old school and she is still in grief counseling twice a week.  Playing with my kids was the first time since the accident that she had made any effort at socializing. 

I never would have suspected that she had been traumatized this way.  She was quiet and didn't say much about her family but gave no indication that this had happened. 

The guy was here long enough to basically pour out his life history and I truly felt sorry for him and even more for his daughter. 

I'm still going to be very watchful for now but there's room for a second chance after him having made the effort to clear the air and explain things.  I think I will just sit on this for a few days and then invite the three of them over for dinner in a few days and try to start over.

I may be a sucker I know.   I would rather have a friendly relationship with my neighbors and if we can do this, well, it would be better for everyone.

My dog Snoopy is scared of my father. We ahve had her for almost two years now and whenever my father comes into the room, she cowers and runs into my room. She stays in here all day long while my sister and I are at school, and my mother is at work. But the wierd thing is, that at night, she is his best friend. She doesn't show any signs of nervousness or anything. Any suggestions? Does she have some sort of a mental problem?

Shelties are the sweetest, gentlest dogs, but their instinct is to nip feet in an attempt to herd.  Have fun with your new sweetie! 

I DON'T!!!!!

only does he tell me, he shows me.  He isn't romantic at all, but he does little things all the time that shows he is thinking of me.

He likes to share new experiences with me, he enjoys going to craft shows with.  He isn't particularly fond of working in the yard, but he knows how much I enjoy it and he spends hours working in the yard, even when I'm not working with him. 

He cooks and helps around the house (usually without grumbling).  I could serve him burnt toast for supper and he would thank me for a good meal.

He overlooks my faults.

PRD is DOS based and must run in DOS-based WP program.... I have a link that explains how to load WP DOS if you are interested.  Looks pretty complicated to me... I gave up as realized I was eventually going to have to move to Windows.  Bought InstantText which allows you to add PRD glossaries - but I hate it!!

for us to make money because then SHE makes money. I have been on the same accounts for five years.

I can't understand why people get switched around like they do in other places (I've worked for EDiX and another small MTSO and they switched people like mad).

After reading the poll a few threads down, last night I asked my hubby what were the two things he loved about ME the most.  Without hesitation he said:  "your encouragement" (towards him) "and your intelligence."  (This is coming from a learned man himself.  That was truly uplifting.) 

I grew up listening to that type of music.  Steely Dan reminds me of my mom cleaning the house.  She always had it playing.  I love Motown myself.  My favorite is Sam Cooke.
