Well, if you took a few leave of absences, then it didn't really take you 9 years to finish because they were interrupted. It probably took the same requisite amount of time because I'm guessing you weren't failing every course and retaking them 4x over. My aunt left college after second year, got married, had kids,…

Thats because they just leave Fox News on the TV at the old folks home ALL DAY LONG. No one's really watching it, they're all taking their naps.

I thought it was a scraper...for ya know, scooping out the fetus after a D&C...

What a tragic accident. RIP Paul.

It's your paper, and no one is going to care more about it than you.

Did you do an outline? When you see exactly how your paper will flow, and what you want to include, it gets immensely easier to sit down and put hands to keyboard. I'm a PhD student, and I really feel like outlining is how I stay motivated to do anything. Shit, nowadays I can't even get through a day without a bullet…

Your point was invalidated by my response. Ethical breeders do not allow their dogs to go to shelters. If the buyers wish to give up the dog, COE breeders demand the dog to be returned to them only. They also stipulate in their buyer contracts that they remain co-owners of the dog until it is spayed/neutered (which…

No. If we had more ethical breeders instead of back yard breeders we most certainly would have fewer dogs in shelters. I think you should educate yourself on what an ethical breeder is before you spout off nonsense about things you don't know.

It works!

I rescued my first dog, and then spent the next year and a half trying to deal with his undisclosed health issues. It was a terrible ordeal that I wouldn't want any animal lover to go through (not to mention the sky high vet bills). After that, I decided that I would be fully aware of any inherited disease that my dog…

And there is usually a clause in the buyer's contract that says the dog must be spayed/neutered at a certain age (generally before adulthood). I wish that could be a damn federal law; any pet animals MUST be spayed/neutered.

She never mentioned anything about his personality. He could very well be a dick, too.

I don't know you, but I've been in your situation. I HATE my cat. She is the devil incarnate. I rescued her three years ago, and she's been nothing but a shithead since. I wish wish wish I could get rid of her, and the thought that she could still live another 10 years is horrifying. I really wanted to enjoy her…

That was such a pleasant response compared to everyone else. And with good information.

There are good ethical breeders out there who care for the welfare of the animals. Its the people who are breeding pets because they think they have a nice dog that we should be protesting.

My neighbor's have a chi, and he is the chillest dog I've ever met. They also have a rat terrier pyschopath, so I think Chico the Chihuahua tries to keep the peace.

Oh man. My man and I just bought our first house together so we could use some stuff to fill it up. It rains a lot where I live, so I asked my sister for a waterhog door mat. Kinda hate being old...

This made the local news, and I think the reporter deserves a Pulitzer (or whatever prize gifted newspaper people get).

Eh, I'm sure I'm not the only one who doesn't feel strongly either way about someone's sex life (or lack there of). It seems so self-involved to write an article about it.

Wow. What dirtbags!
