When I was training my puppy, I read the suggestion to deduct the amount of treats you give them during the day from their total amount of daily food. So, if you feed your dog twice a day, ask the moms how many treats the dog had during the day and deduct that amount from their evening food.

I used to wear heels all the time for work. In the last two years, I've experienced lower back problems which has made me too immobile for my liking. So, the heels have been phased out. Simply being able to move trumps vanity.

"Then Obama walked away while Gov. Brewer was in mid-sentence."

Years ago, two very close friends of mine started dating soon after I introduced them (it wasn't a set-up, they just happen to hit it off). He cheated on her. When she had her suspicions and asked, I told her what I knew. He was mad at me, but I told him that she asked and I wasn't going to lie for him. They…

On one hand, I see a lot of comments claiming that her food is meant as occasional treats, and she only eats like this x days a year. On the other hand, there was the whole dust-up with another chef who criticized her unhealthy dishes, and the defense was that Paula Deen's recipes are for families who can't afford…

"she is used goods."

Meh, that's the hospital's PR covering their ass. In the NYT's, it reports that NYS has asked them to clear some things up to make sure everyone is receiving proper care. I'd like to find out more on the matter than just the hospital claiming no one made an official complaint. I'm not blaming Beyonce for any…

Sure, having an affair with a married man is not what one calls stellar or rational behavior. However, the level of hate being thrown her way is quite interesting to me. I don't see that her behavior has been really any worse than Mary's, but then people are more apt to forgive pretty people.

Oh please, Mary dished it out to Edith plenty. She was an active partner in setting the contentious rivalry with her younger sister for really no apparent other than she could. Mary held all the cards, had all the advantages, and often behaved like a spoiled brat.

I hear what you're saying with politicians pandering to hard-core constituents. Santorum not only believes what he says, but did his best to enact legislation on his right-wing beliefs. Check out his record. He either introduced or was key in the partial-birth abortion ban; he was instrumental in the Federal…

The interesting thing about all these houses was how career politicians* were able to afford them.

I have long held the opinion that Newt Gingrich is a vile piece of garbage. This whole Newt-made-mistakes-but-his-new-wife-Callista-brought-out-the-best-in-her-man sales pitch makes me loathe him even more. The implication is that Newt isn't truly responsible for his shitty behavior, he just hadn't found a "godly"…

We're still waiting for you to prove that men over all went the "extra mile."

It doesn't matter that Courtney Love didn't "ruin" the decor of the house in the traditional rock star sense. From the report that I read, she signed a lease agreement with the landlord that she would not change the decor. According to xoJaneEric in the comment section, Love had it redone with Farrow & Ball. Farrow…

Don't you people understand? Newt only cheated his way to Wife#3 because he loves America so much! He did it for us!

Even if your brother can't adopt one of these dogs, there are hundreds of other beagles available through adoption. Apparently, in the Southern states, the shelters are over run after hunting season when alot of dogs are abandoned. A rescue group that I donate to will transport them from Southern shelters to North…

The behavior of the Central Mountain students is atrocious, but they are just picking-up what is put out there by adults. I read an editorial on SI.com by Joe Posnanski in which he waxes on about how he believes Joe Paterno has lived a decent life and how disgraceful Penn State's firing him was (Oh yeah, the crimes…

Oh, how did I love, love, love that book! I plan on giving a copy to my niece this Christmas.

I read Deadspin's timeline on who knew what about Sandusky's behavior and when the other day. She did make complaints years ago, they were ignored. If I remember correctly, Matt's ex-wife also filed a restraining order so their children cannot see Sandusky.

If JWoww and Snooki aren't speaking, how are they going to do their spin-off show? Also, Team JWoww all they way.
