I knew about using over the counters for pets (benadryl, advil) but I didn't know you could get pet prescriptions from there. I'll have to ask about that next time my dog needs a medicine. Her last UTI was expensive...

Gonna second the stir fry. It's a great first meal - make sure to get the instant in a bag rice though. I didn't do that for my first stir fry and ruined a ton of rice trying to figure it out. Banana bread was also a favorite by all my roommates, but I've never made it personally. If you've got the money for a…

Very true, but personally, if I -had- to be hit by a sprinting dog, I'd take a golden over a greyhound! At least they look sturdy enough to take the hit - I was getting up and running over to the dog thinking my god, I'm going to get there and those skinny little legs will be broken.

Holy shit this is scary. I can't take birth control. I'm calling my doctor up and telling him forget my age, schedule that surgery to remove my ovaries anyway!

Mine is a golden retriever with low stamina, so while she can sprint, she doesn't get far. She's also got abandonment issues, so she can't stand to have me out of her sight - if she gets too far, she gets scared and runs back. Since I also have these seizure-like fits about once a day, we've been working to train…

I highly doubt dogs that can't be saved from abuse are that common. Even the dogs that were abused by Vicks were rehabilitated and found homes. If I recall the article I read a while back correctly, only one of out that bunch had to be put to sleep.

Gentle leader. Obedience classes. Expensive, but so worth it in the long run. Not only does she not pull at the leash, but if my hands are full I can just drop the leash and she'll walk beside me with only verbal commands to keep her in check. It's wonderful when camping and she's happy because she's getting…

This is what disappoints me the most about this entire agreement. You'd think the ISPs would want the RIAA to get the hell out of their business and not be responsible for enforcing the law, if nothing else but for what it's going to cost them to monitor and manage infractions.

*weeps quietly* So... if I've received an invite, do I need to get re-invited when it opens, or do I just sit tight and hope the beautiful invitation e-mail gets delivered at some point?

I personally think you're on to something. I started cutting down my portion size at home a few years back and I've noticed that eating out is just far too much for me now. I feel full after half a plate and wind up taking home leftovers. Portion size is out of control.

To celebrate, I'm going to swap to streaming all my music from Amazon's cloud drive instead of downloading it to my phone. Still got my unlimited, might as well abuse it while I can.

My pasty white Irish heritage is jealous. The only way I will ever have a tan is if I sunburn enough so that all my freckles merge.

When I was a kid I got to visit the FBI office and they took me and my brother into the gun vault. It was awesome. They let us hold the new assault rifle, try on body armor, and even brought out a tommy gun that they had in the back just because it's awesome. I understood what they were for. Nothing wrong with…

I don't understand it either, but a long time ago someone told me to read a short story called Rape Fantasies by Margaret Atwood. It didn't get me any closer to understanding, but it's worth a read.

What about upkeep? I've had to do some legwork on my rooted Android pad and it hasn't been pleasant.

So I don't have cable which means this is the first I've actually seen of her... and... wow. I'm glad I don't have cable.

iPad jailbreaking. My roommate is interested, but not tech-savvy. I'm leaning towards discouraging her from touching it - as I don't want to wind up as tech support for something I'm not familiar with and I don't want her to break her system. Or is it non-tech-savvy accessible now?

The first time I saw Lady Gaga was by watching her Bad Romance video (I was late to the party) and it just bowled me over. Not because of her voice, the music, or anything else - but because of the way the dancers at the start move. It reminded me of my own movement disorder, mostly in how they hold their wrists. I…

I'm not going to comment on the obvious stuff, as I think it's all been said already. But I am going to say: how catty can these lawyers get? Don't they have any professional decency? Do they really have to go for the snide remarks? What's so difficult about saying, "I don't believe Caitlin's story accurately…
