And the canned pumpkin puree is wonderful for cats with a tendency toward hairballs. And amazingly, mine likes it just plain. No added kibble or anything. She'll eat it right off a spoon.

Bevo on Mars! How cool is that!

Sugar, olive oil and a little bit of apple cider vinegar or grapefruit juice! Works great

My cousin's nickname as a baby was Porkchop! Luckily that was LONG before people obsessed about babies looking fat.

I don't have a news letter. My comment above comes from experience (living a low-carb lifestyle) and from the reading I've done on how sugar, in whatever form, decimates health. Gary Taubes' blog www.garytaubes.com and his books "Why We Get Fat" and "Good Calories, Bad Calories" are great starting points.

Awwwwwwwwwww, who hurt pwecious's feewings?

My Uncle died last month. So, Harbor Lights will trigger the tears for me. It was his favorite song. It was playing on his ship as he was being shipped off to the Korean War (1st Marines) and he stood on deck looking at his wife for as long as he could see her and then until the lights faded from view.

Miss Maude prefers to dress as a kangaroo baby

My nephew was also terrified of dogs, for no reason anyone could figure out. BUT he did get over the fear, which resulted in his parents buying a Portugese Water Dog when he was 10 or so... that was the only kind of dog he thought was good/not scary.

Small bowls of vinegar, placed in the corners of a room, can help clear the room of smoky smells after a party.

I hope he includes the song Santa Baby (baby baby baby oooohhhh baby baby baby)
