You know I've suspected that but I'm not willing to try! This whole raw feeding movement has really changed a lot of my perceptions about eating. Another reason I'm wary of vets is how so many of them respond when they hear about raw feeding dogs.
I thought about that and I've been looking at other vet recommendations, but if this is just industry practice, how would I know who's good and who's not? I found the vet reviews to be pretty consistent in my area.
1.) It's a dog. She sniffs shit. I raw feed and she can and has been fed spoiled meat that would kill a human being. 2.) My dog isn't from a puppy mill; she's from a reputable breeder 3.) Lots of other pets and livestock don't get the same levels of medical care and do quite fine
Friend, that is SO not true. Money has an interesting effect on people. The more you have the more you want. When I was in my 20s, I figured out that to have all I wanted in life I could do with $25K a year. Then I got my first job and "a car that just runs" wasn't enough. Now, I wanted a nice looking car with 4 doors. And, I wanted an apartment in a better part of town. Get another raise? Now, I want a motorcycle, too. And, I want a house. And, that shiny bow I wanted as a kid. Get another raise? Now I want really nice house and a luxury car.
I know I'm not an anomaly. Your tastes evolve especially after you've had a bite of the apple. And, even with $50K+ a year, after taxes that's still works out to $1000+ a paycheck.
I felt like our initial visit was almost like getting cased by a grifter; like they wanted to see how much I was willing to shell out. They started me out with a sample of a deworming med then asked for a stool sample from the pup which of course showed some parasite that had to be treated with another med. So, I've had her 2 weeks and besides vaccinations she's already been exposed to 2 medications. And, each visit has been a setup for another visit in the weeks to come. I just feel like i'm getting sucked into a merry-go-round of perpetual medication and unnecessary care. But, I'm not a professional so I don't have much ability to make judgements.
A human doesn't need that much attention if he's healthy.
The jerseys (the good sewn ones) are simply way too expensive. They're upwards of $250-300 and taht's more than I'm spending on a player who might be with the team for 3-4 years. In fact, all the gear and items are obscenely inflated in price. However, the counterfeit stuff is hit or miss. I've got a Woodley jersey that looks like cartoon lettering was used for the player's name. Some items I'm sure are straight off the assembly line. Maybe they ran it another day and sold the extras on teh black market.
The NFL can't be surprised this is happening. When Americans started to realized that goods were being produced at cutrate prices overseas and sold to us as a huge markup, lots of us gave the finger to tradition stores and elected to cut out the middle man as well. I'm probably being hypocritical based on my stand on illegal downloads, but I have no sympathy for Goodell's NFL.
They live close to Myrtle Beach and our town got about 1" of snow and ice. The town subsequently shut down for 2 1/2 days. People down there simply do not know how to deal with ice. Even if you're a carpet bagger from the North, you're better off staying inside and not getting t-boned by some guy who thinks you can drive full speed so long as there's no unplowed snow on the road.
That is absolutely not the point. He was effectively aiding and abetting guys (undercover agents) who were trying to subvert lie detectors for nefarious means and he was *aware* of it. If there's a door in the bank with a shitty lock and you give someone advice on how to pick it, that doesn't make you any less of a criminal if the door had a good lock.
He wasn't just teaching people how to pass a lie detector. He was instructing people (undercover agents) who he knew would be committing all kinds of illegal acts including statutory rape and drug smuggling. That's where you cross a fuzzy line between crime and blissful ignorance. In the same way, if I walk into a pawn shop and buy a cheap TV, it's not a crime. But, if the owner tells me it's cheap because his cousin stole it, then I'm engaging in an illegal transaction..
My problem isn't with playing video games (I'm a big gamer myself). It's with his insulting and dismissing comment about pro sports (which I also watch).
SO true! I signed up after that big battle headline from a year ago and quit 3 months later. EVE is an epicly huge and complex world that recreated all of the tedious boredom of real life. They should change the tagline to "Space: where more is less."
Alberto Gonzalez flat out lied to Congress and got a week to "correct" his testimony and I was tearing my hair out. Clapper did the same and it's hardly registered in public discourse. If Congress gets lied to their oversight obligations are compromised which is intolerable.
Seemed like a lame "it doesn't matter what I look like" chick flick a la Shallow Hal; not to mention a lot like S1m0ne (but that's what I got from previews).
Why do you all keep dumbing down this topic???? I've pointed out now 3 times the distinction between domestic and foreign espionage and you all respond with "well he found bad stuff so it's OK."
You probably didn't notice I was careful to use the term "political rivals". Russia AND China tend to stand on the opposite side of the balance in the current international climate. I'd never call Russia our #1 or #2 foe because they're largely marginalized (just the political equivalent of being very loud).
If we're to have an open and democratic system, the American people must be told when their laws are being violated by their supposed servants. In an open system, you cannot tell the people without telling the world.
That is insanely naive. You think you should have access to nuclear codes or top secret military campaigns just because you live in a democracy? And, had you read my posts carefully I was pretty clear in delineating the different between Snowden leaking domestic espionage campaigns vs foreign campaigns. That was the WHOLE purpose of my post!
Nothing?
Americans already assume we spy on foreign governments. The only thing Snowden has accomplished is blow up a lot of ongoing operations. Now, how does that help us?
That's not nothing
Again if you bothered to pay attention to what I wrote, I said I'd pardon him if he was motivated by the public good. But, you take a closer look at the kinds of information Snowden leaked. All he did was dump whatever he could get his hands on. Some of that is nothing more than personal and touchy correspondences. That is NOT what "minimizing injury" means in terms of the whistleblowers' code.
Yes, he revealed some shady intelligence gathering programs the US was running against its own people, but he also went out of his way to dump information on programs we were running against foreign entities. Had he stuck to the former, I'd consider him a hero and would support a full pardon.
But, when you run off to our biggest political rivals and tell the world the details of how we spy, you're violating the whistleblower's code of ethics to minimize injury. And, for what purpose did it serve? It did nothing to help the American people.
What you're saying is something unsavory that businesses might do in a free market, isn't the free market. The free market means precisely that. Companies are free to collude, price fix, bribe, etc. It's only regulation that prevents it from happening. Just because you don't like one consequence of the free market doesn't mean you get to disavow it as part of the cost of doing business.
This is one of the primary fallacies of free market thinking; that businesses will be somehow compelled to do the right thing without the boot of the government on their necks.

Open Office is great for the basic 70-80% of what you want to do. But, past that I'd much prefer Office.
I bet we can trace the insertion to Great^32 Grandpa Gronk's famous "hey you drop spearhead" trick stupid Cro-Magnon chicks always fell for.
Irrelevant if you keep them and don't report it. The act of buying them has no bearing on the crime.

The question is answered...in the FA.
Yeah, to hell with facts! Let's just paint the world in crayon!
No, receiving stolen goods is a crime. The act of paying is irrelevant.
