Awww, Arsenio thinks my dad got a new phone. That's really sweet, and flattering that he thinks my dad would be able to turn those off himself on day two. It will take him the entire two years until his contract is up to figure out how the current phone works, and then you'd have to pry it from his hands because he…

That makes a lot of sense. I hadn't even thought about deliveries being spotty...

A good point about availability. I will say - I mentioned elsewhere on here, too - some of the good ones can be ordered online. We feed our dog a 50/50 mix of Wellness Core (original flavor) and Acana's Regionals line, and would get them through PetFoodDirect.com . In addition to the convenience of having them…

Absolutely. It's so important for there to be prescription food, and for specific purposes it can be so helpful. I want to be clear that I don't think they're a terrible company at all, and definitely don't think all of their products are awful. I don't want to knock the company, but I do wonder if because of the…

Oh!! I forgot to mention - you can get Wellness (Core and others) through PetFoodDirect.com , and they frequently have coupons, free shipping, etc., plus it's nice to have it delivered to your door so you don't have to lug a giant, heavy bag too far yourself. They also have an auto-shipping option so you can set it to…

That must be so frustrating. When comparing the costs of dog foods, people also need to realize that it's not just about price per bag of food - it's price per serving of food. The foods that are cheaper per bag often have so much junk and filler in them that you'll be feeding your dog 2 cups per meal as one serving…

When we first brought our dog home from the rescue, they'd been feeding him Science Diet - when I looked at the ingredients it felt like giving him McDonald's for every meal, so I got him off of that as quickly as I could and onto Wellness Core (which is grain-free). Even his coat got shinier immediately. People tend…

Another vote for Acana - we give our dog a 50/50 mix of the Acana Pacifica flavor (grain free) and Wellness Core (also grain free). He loves it, it works great for him. We used to switch between the different Acana flavors but he actually has an autoimmune disorder so our vet told us to keep him on the same flavor…

They really are a special kind of hell, and one that people who don't get them just truly can't possibly fathom. I never really understood until I started getting them - I just imagined them to be a sort of super-sized headache, but it's such a different thing than that. People don't understand that they're…

That is AWESOME!!! And love the dalmatian reference from the movie, too - that was such a great line!!!

I just wrote this to you elsewhere on here but I think it got lost - State and Main ?!?! Aaaaahhh, I love that movie so much! I'm sorry it caused such havoc, though I love the image of your mom holding your veil and scolding David Mamet. Also, your hometown is really beautiful, assuming it was captured accurately in…

To HarvestMoon - State and Main ?!?! Aaaaahhh, I love that movie so much! I'm sorry it caused such havoc, though I love the image of your mom holding your veil and scolding David Mamet. Also, your hometown is really beautiful, assuming it was captured accurately in the movie. I do hope they fixed the pothole :)

Oh dear lord, I hope you have a better neurologist now. I would have wanted to punch that guy.

I hate to be That Person, but technically it doesn't violate HIPAA, because the people who are required to comply with HIPAA are healthcare providers, not your employers. So if your boss goes to your doctor and your doctor releases your info without your consent, that's a HIPAA violation; if your boss asks you for…

It makes me wonder how often Shwartzman had seen him flip out over the course of filming Huckabees.

Seriously! (It's extra scary because I have a relative there I don't get along with at all. But thankfully the other end of the state. Heh.)

I had no idea!!!! I had never heard of it until my doctor told me I had it about 8-9 years ago, but even since then, I'd only heard of maybe 3 other people who had it until this post went up yesterday and everyone started coming out of the woodwork!!

Writing this now because it is driving me crazy to look back and realize that I wrote "Beverly Clearly." UGH. How did I do that?!??!?!

I posted this elsewhere on here, but this is the coat that I love. It's the Stadium Squall Coat from Land's End. It is certainly not the prettiest coat, and it's kind of giant, but damn is it effective (partly due to that giant length, honestly). Again, the important bonus: for anyone who is allergic to feathers,…

I remember that storyline so well - because I was the kid with curly hair and it got reaaaaallllllyyyy old to have classmates do that to my hair, and I couldn't understand how it would be appealing to anyone to do that. I loved the Beverly Clearly books, though. But I do remember that storyline, almost 30 years…
