Omg. Is he 5 years old?! Flapping his arms around and yelling, that's how kids interact with dogs (and why a lot of kids get bitten). I feel your pain, I have a rescue who wasn't terribly comfortable with men before, and oftentimes despite REPEATED warnings from me guys would absolutely insist on getting in her face…

LOL. That is pretty damn funny. I'm sorry you're getting so much crap from everyone; coming from a pretty fun-loving and not so serious family myself, I totally love your story.

I really wish there were more career options where one could be super mobile/flexible. I'm starting to realize that I am a pretty antsy person when it comes to where I live; after about 18 months, I start to get the itch to move and discover a new place. I love traveling more than anything; I hate the thought of…

Good luck! It's hard but you can do it! These days there are so many awesome replacements for the junky foods we love. I've started making "cauliflower rice" to replace regular rice; that has been a BIG help cuz I'm not one to feel satisfied if I eat nothing but salad for dinner, I need some fillers. Roasted chick…

I use lemon juice and green tea as toners and they have been miraculous.

Man, I feel you...it can be insanely hard to stick to diet/exercise regimes and sometimes it seems like you gotta be a superhuman to be able to balance all that with a full time job and life.

yeah, i didn't necessarily mean you specifically — just in general, HAC seems to require a lot! 8 does seem to be relatively fewer than what some other people use; i've spent a lot of time watching video tutorials on it (i've been somewhat obsessed with trying to get this right) and peeps have so many products and…

dang. you're a freaking goldmine of valuable info! go you! interesting how things vary, also; other tutorials i've seen use darker bronzer along with the light concealer.

Yeah the ocean can be pretty scary. I used to live in California and just never really went into the water, despite living by the beach forever. I'm also not a great swimmer.

Oh cmon, it's tongue in cheek. "boob hate", forrealz?

Law & Order: SVU is great for this.

We were flying internationally, so yeah, $200. Way better than the $1900 other airlines quoted us :) $50 is awesome, holy crap!

Haha. We are going to Bali and I just wish I could put her in my pocket and bring her. Dogs make everything better :)

really? That's interesting, I didn't know that. How much does it cost per dog to take them on flights with you? You might consider flying thru Delta; they only charge $200 per pet (regardless of weight), as long as the owner is on the same flight. The animal will be in the cargo area in a temp controlled spot. We did…

I don't think how much money the lender has should have anything to do with it. Whether you're rich or poor, or anywhere in between, this kind of situation tends to make people in the lending position feel disrespected and taken advantage of — nobody likes feeling that way. I do agree that there should have been…

HA, so true. She's the fastest dog I know :)

:) thanks! She's pretty awesome. I'm dying inside right now because I'm going on vacation and leaving her for 13 days, longer than we've ever been apart.

I hear that. All day while I am at work, I am tempted to go home and spend the day cuddling my girl and watching the Simpsons.

The #1 love of my life!
