We adopted an 8 year old Westie last fall, and Benny is a thoroughly wonderful addition to our family of 2 other rescue Westies. (if the picture loads, l-r are Benny, Rosie and Charlie, just after I picked up their toys so they could pull them out again later.)

Oh, those sweet eyes! Congratulations on your lovely dog.

Great tip, especially since roasted vegetable season is never completely over around here.

This recipe looks great, and I —a Duke’s fan for the last 45 years or so— am going to try it tomorrow!

Oh, man! I grew up thinking otters were all cute, fun-loving little critters! Disney’s Wonderful World of Color has betrayed me.

My mom has a pecan-stuffed date wrapped with cheese dough then rolled in sugar and baked cookie recipe... (edited to add: she calls them “black-eyed susan cookies.”)

My husband’s out of the country right now, and missed Valentine’s Day. I went to Dick’s and bought him some new fishing stuff for a late present when he gets back next week. I told the sales person why I was there.

Shut. Up.

Surely you realize 45* would have relished “stealing” a woman from any younger man - and been unable to resist bragging about it.

Yeah...no. I signed up for the NextDoor thingy and in among the “who’s dog is this?” and “Anybody seen my cat” posts are nothing but non-stop ads. Yuck.

For all the nay-sayers, it’s not just the folding, it’s the folding of your shirts the same size and the pressure-slapping of the folding which gets your shirts flat enough to stack up in much less space. I love my ORIGINAL flip-fold board, and use it every load of laundry I do.

Don’t forget the woman who never attended a public school in her life, nor sent her own children to one...to run the Dept of Education.

That would come as a surprise to the “three-peat” guy, wouldn’t it?

Apples and oranges, Linda.

I wonder if there would be a way to make this truly instant by putting non-fat dry milk into the mixture? And if so, in what quantity?

Dog shows prohibit the exhibition of any dog which has been neutered or spayed. I wonder that they continue encouraging the practice of cropping ears and docking tails! If a breed has naturally pricked ears (such as my Westies) and naturally short tails (again, my Westies) then that should be the standard. No cosmetic…

One of these days I would enjoy introducing you to my West Highland White Terriers, both rescues, both under 30 lbs, and neither one an asshole.

Precisely. We take out our kitchen trash (the one which becomes the most odiferous) every night, and recycle bags other stuff comes in for liners. When I don’t have a liner bag, newspaper helps — though with this option I usually have to rinse out the bin. But I wouldn’t mind the essential oil option - I like natural…

Speaking only for myself, I appreciate articles like this which outline exactly what taxpayers like me and my husband can expect from this abomination of a tax bill.

May Ajit Pai be cursed throughout his life so that nothing he sets his hand to may succeed, and may the Seven Terriers of Hell perch on his shoulder and bark in his ear all the days of his life.
