My personality is 99% sarcasm and 1% beer, so I guess I am outta luck.

Where’s Team Cat HQ?

I would never ever want to encourage someone feeding their dogs grapes, but even at that weight, I would suspect you would have to feed the dog a lot of grapes over a significant period of time to see an effect. Again, not to encourage dogs eating grapes, but I hope you won’t stress too much about it :)

I would imagine dogs might be like us and other mammals and tend to lose tolerance for dairy products as we get older. So while adult humans and adult dogs do not need to eat dairy, it’s not a big deal to eat it.

Unless you have an itty bitty dog, the amount of any of these foods that you would likely drop during meal preparation is unlikely to cause a problem.

Soy sauce reduction is the way to go, man. Make the rice like usual, then drizzle the reduction over top... ugh. Now I’m hungry.

The issue is, unless you make above a certain salary, you are not going to be able to afford a new car that is unlikely to need servicing. Yeah, that Kia Sorrento may be new (sorry, Kia owners), but it’s probably going to need major work long before that used Subaru will hiccup. I buy used predominantly because I can…

I always think about car purchases like this: if I buy new, I am paying at least 2-4K for the privilege of driving the car off the lot.

I was a professional cook for a while, so I am pretty good at one-size-fits-all cooking. I started my kitchen with: chef knife, bread knife, parer, large pot, small pot, colander, cutting board, and a liquid measuring cup.

I count cheese a condiment.

It was the not knowing that was killing me (heh, killing). He kept stopping the flight attendant to tell him that, “My mom’s corpse is on this plane.” Then, while we were waiting for a gate to open, he kept telling the flight attendant that he needed to get off the plane because his mom’s corpse was waiting for him.…

Thanks for the clarification. I was very unclear as to why having explosives in place of firearms was preferable.

I was on a plane the other day with a guy who would not stop yelling about his mom’s corpse being on the plane. Presumably that was checked.

Rule #9: Your kid still has to follow the instructions of the flight attendants. I was recently on a flight where these two kids were EVERYWHERE the entire flight. The pilot even made announcements to ask the kids to return to their seats. The parents just gave the attendants a nasty smile and said, “they’re kids.…

But do not just book the cheapest seats and then expect the airline to make everything better for you. I purchase upgraded seats in a very specific section of the plane, and always aisle seats. For a variety of reasons, some including health, this is where I want to (and have paid to) be. I have gotten cursed out by…

I hate this dumb sentence. It crops up in every conversation about kids crying. It basically says that parents have it the worst and everyone else’s stress is invalid because parents are stressing more.

Parents traveling with infants and young toddlers are inconsiderate. Not that they should not fly with their young kids, but unless there is a really really compelling reason that the child must be on that plane, it’s inconsiderate to the child and your fellow travelers. Same goes for people flying with pets.

Losing weight and saving money can also be at odds with each other! Eating fresh food can do a number on that grocery bill.

And they will be vastly inefficient in comparison to the incisors and canines of true omnivores. Look, I’m not saying humans can’t eat meat, I’m just saying our bodies are evolved more similar to herbivore animals.
