Best of luck, little dude!

Always happy to oblige! I’m proud mom to Carys, a 7 yr old border collie/cocker spaniel mix, and Aster, a 5.5 yr old mini Aussie/dachshund mix.

Not scary so much as unsettling, given the context you find them.

Ah yeah. That’s a resilient dog! Aster came from a hoarder in CA when she was about 12 weeks old, spent over 2 years in a rescue down there, then was transferred to OR when the CA rescue closed down. It was nearly another year before I adopted her; in that time I was the only person they allowed to foster her because…

You’ve got some pretty awesome pups. I am not a photographer (those are all just cell phone pics, believe it or not), but I am a dog sitter, so I have a ton of practice getting decent pics of crazy dogs. If you’re ever in Portland, OR and need a sitter, I’m here! www.rover.com/sit/CityDogs :D

Interesting! Carys (black/white) is probably border collie x cocker spaniel, and Aster (tri) is probably mini Aussie x dachshund? She’s a herder, but stumpy. They’re both rescues so it’s all a guessing game.

Oh geez that first dog looks a lot like one of mine...

I doubt she crafted anything. The car spun around a bunch, and Ben said he didn’t hit the brakes (he probably did and, like most people in a traumatic event, doesn’t have a good grasp on the how-what-and-when of the whole thing) but they stopped anyway. So she believes when he says “I didn’t hit the brakes” rather…

So women, fang-toothed predators that they are, are too sissy to sit through a movie, but you, butt-hurt tough guy manly man can.

I’ve made my peace.

I would absolutely love to be mauled by these guys. Tear me limb from limb, you wild cuties, you.

I respectfully disagree. If the customer were to express concern about contamination, it would be the job of the staff to inform them what they reasonably can and can’t do. However, it’s not clear that the customer communicated that she had an allergy, or a sensitivity (ha), or an auto immune disorder. She simply…

Probably because accommodating the popular trend is financially beneficial for them, but accommodating a rare, serious disorder is not.

It can be. Most of the really dangerous symptoms come from chronic exposure (destruction of the intestinal lining leading to malnutrition), but coming into contact with it, even in small quantities, can cause some pretty gnarly abdominal cramping/diarrhea. It won’t kill you, but it won’t be a good day either.

Yeah, I had never been pressured, and when I did sign up for a membership it was because I was making a large purchase where signing up actually saved me money with the first purchase discount. I’ve never since been asked by anyone on the floor if I had a membership or wanted one, and only ever get asked (“do you have…

I am comfortable with the conclusion that this man could (and perhaps should) have led a life without ever having sex. He is permanently a small child. Small children should not be having sex.

It just means that they cannot legally consent to sex. However, there is a whole big group of people who have sex with each other all the time without legally being able to consent AND without being raped: minors. I’m not saying that the mentally handicapped should just pair off with actual children, but there are…

It’s actually really tasty. Avocado (esp when ice cold) is such a mild flavor you can easily mask it with other ingredients, and the creamy texture is very much like actual ice cream. Bananas do the same thing if you freeze them and whip them up in the food processor.

I am incredulous, yet intrigued. I can’t begin to imagine how this could be edible, and yet one of my favorite menu items of all time came from jam in an expected culinary environment. It’s titled the Jammy Davis Jr., a quesadilla with black beans, sweet potato, jalapeno and raspberry jam, served with a chipotle…
