I live in the upper midwest and I rescued a deep south catahoula. When the temp drops and the air dries out I have to clean his ears often since they dry out and develop some yuck in them. If I don't clean out the ears with q-tips or a wet rag, he'll start scratching them with his hind leg and cause himself some pain.
If I notice that he yelps when scratching, and kick myself for missing a cleaning, I clean up the ear with a warm wet rag, then swipe it with some benedryl gel, then feed him a "doggie aspirin" that my parents gave me that they had for their dog he's fine.
So a month or two ago, Beaker yelped, , so I cleaned him up, and did the bendryl bit, and went for the aspirin, but couldn't find it. So I drove to the open vet (it was a sunday) that I stopped going to over two years ago since they decided that all dogs they treated !!!HAD TO HAVE A YEARLY FECAL EXAM!! or else they wouldn't care for the dog.
I asked them why they had to have !!!A MANDATORY FECAL EXAM!!! once a year when if the dog had one, and the did some coprophagia a bit later, the MANDATORY FECAL EXAM was just a useless waste of money. They refused to answer.
So, since they were the only ones in the area that were open, I asked them for doggie aspirin. The lead Nurse looked at me like I was an idiot. I explained all I needed was an analgesic to help my dog from suffering for a day or so and I was informed that I had to pay 120 for the vet to look at the dog before I could get any help.
I tried to explain that i knew exactly what his problem was, and just wanted to ease some irritation for a day or two, but I was stonewalled.
Turns out that my doting parents with the "Doggie Aspirin" were referring to GNC's "Dog Aspirin" which is just acetylsalicylic acid. Humans can't have that any more, but it's still the pill of choice for horses, cows, pigs, and yes, dogs. Like anything, it's to be used sparingly with feeding, and a dose of that once in a great while helps if your animal is in pain.
Beaker did just fine on one tablet. Needless to say, the money mill that refuses to treat animals unless they get their tithe - does not get any cash from me. It pisses me off to no end that you can't walk into a vet and explain the problem and just get some simple pain medication for an animal without tithing the high priest.
I'd like to toss out a healthy and tasty way of getting nutrients - I have a juicer that I use to juice up two medium tomatoes, a green pepper, a couple of carrots , and a beet.
I add a bit of vinegar and some salt.
It's tasty and has the carotene for the eyes, the beet contains nitrates so it's good for the circulatory system, and you've got all the good stuff from tomato and green veg.
Adding kale is a boost as well.
A lot more work goes into cleaning the juicer but I've had an improvement in eyesight and general health feel that may be psychosomatic, but could care less since I do feel better..
I encourage all the "healthy People" and all of the "diet gurus" and all of the Activists to jump on this bandwagon.
The ones jumping off the "eat stuff" bandwagon will help me get cheaper foods to support my PETA habit... (People Eating Tasty Animals)
To toss a stab at the "oh god it takes so much effort to make food" whiner.
Open a crock pot, drop a slab of beef in it, open a jar of pepperoncinis and dump the contents in, turn on, walk away for a few hours, then consume. It takes less than a few minutes to prepare, and you won't get sick from mixing powders together.
When you won't use IE and they have a bug that tries to continuously update software you won't use? That explains a lot of my issues with speed on older rigs. I wish developers would just focus on modular coding rather than expecting everyone is using the system the way that their developers/product designers expect.
I don't use IE, Adobe, and a bunch of other luzers addictions when I'm on the web, I shouldn't have system degradation because of it.
Have you ever looked into how damaging it is to the environment to actually build a solar panel? They use nitrogen trifluoride to manufacture them.
Also, the batteries themselves, both production and recycling provide a large impact to the environment.
I lean more to nuclear technology, unfettered by the people who think that recycling spent fuel leads to weapons of doom.
And yes, I've lived with a braidwood nuclear power plant a few miles away and don't mind having a reactor in my back yard (the cooling lakes make great fishing areas).
I have ten years of evidence of my Siberian husky crapping the back yard - I also have about five years of my catahoula crapping too.
They don't align - In fact, when the Husky is crapping facing the back fence, the catahoula has never aligned itself either assward or noseward when I've been watching..
I can provide video of both of them crapping in big piles in all directions. It's obvious by the findings that the people observing behavior don't have dogs or walk them. If the decide to differ, I'll hand them a couple of leashes, some dog crap bags and an actual compass. Walk my dogs and see that your study is without fact.
I was wondering why a purchase kept bouncing in and and out of a delivery for two weeks.
I ordered a game from ebay that was mailed first class two day post - and it circled in and out of forest park for over two weeks. I've never had a problem like that before. Now it makes sense.
I want to play star trek Armada on the computer that can run Final Cut Pro and Lightroom.
If it can't then it's useless to me.
(yeah, i am comparing platform dependent items ( and hard drive partitioning storage types ) here. and I have no use for Final Cut Pro and Lightroom In fact, I have no idea what Final Cut Pro and Lightroom are..)
This means we can build huge engines and send the earth off to explore other galaxies! Since we don't need the sun, we can keep burning the oil and in 20 or so years orbit alpha centauri !!
Sorry, It's not "online purchases" or "healthier eating" that's causing the drop in prices, it's the doubling or tripling prices for chips and soda.
Most folks who are middle class can't justify spending 4.50 on a 12-14 ounce bag of chips on their salary. Living where I do, the only ones spending that are using the link card (welfare cards for food) to get chips, pop, ice cream, and other junk foods.
The folks whining about declining sales just need to wait until more folks are on government subsistence, then the profits will creep back.
If you truly work at Microsoft - tell them there are legions of people that just want a plain old desktop - and not a slick, uncluttered interface shouting "Bling".
Assure them that the apple fan boys love the slick uncluttered stuff, then go straight back to their apple stuff - they won't be switching.
Last job I worked at the apple guys LOVED win 8. They pirated it , played with it - then went right back to their apple stuff. Me, I just cringed and started looking to move to Ubuntu when XP finally dies.

When I was a kid I snapped out fast answers and interrupted everyone because I knew I was right.
I'm coming close to being half a century old, and yes, I do stop and try to dumb things down for my nephews.
My parents were dumb when I was a kid, and now they show me how i might of been a bit less smarter than I thought I was. With age comes wisdom.
Make it so?

I have no idea how a developer can do their job with only a smart phone or pad/tablet.
I need a screen, keyboard and mouse. Anyone worming in stats beyond what I need to do my job is simply spreading FUD.
I was lied to by BBC america - Captain Jack and team definitly broke the speed limit many times!
But for this to work, won't you need to bicycle with a hard pecker all the time?

I knew we needed those Nukes for propulsion!
Seriously?
Managing a few variables in some order is complex? If this is actually news, I'm cringing on how low expectations of programmers have sunk.
How many hurdles will the writer of this drek jump when managing a maiden name changing to a married name?
In my databases there's just one.
Take the time to design the back end. That way you don't need to worry about the tripe posted in the article.

there are 500 and 1000 dollar denominations as well.
heck, there are even bigger bills too...

I'd like to cut out the middle man and sell my Identity.

Not lying.
Time how long a rerun (after it gets trimmed for more advertising) plays.
Thanx for playing..
When I was a kid, they had quality 1 hour shows that ran 52 minutes with 8 minutes of commercials.
we're down to 32 minutes of a show with 28 minutes of commercial.
If the model is dead, then mayhaps it's time to rack the slide and kill the horse.
If the cable companies or satellite companies offered service without commercials (and a la carte) I'd sign back up in a heartbeat.
I'm not paying for commercials ever again. Seriously.
be like me - refuse to rent software in the first place - Never played - never will...
If Linux can take over gaming, not only will I be on board, all the young game geeks will follow.
And no, it's not one "killer" game - I read about some penguin racing game, but that wasn't anything near to pull me over.
Steam is the most public of "saving us from the newest windows abortion that's some sort of tile thingy that refuses to work if you turn off UAC".
My fervent hope is that Steam gets all my games translated over to Ubuntu or some linux platform. Then I'll be a firm linux shill.
You have my word on that.
