HotLips should have sprouted and leafed out by now
Comments (7)yeah, that's my problem too dottie- they get too big! But they're so pretty i hate to cut them back.... and i really hate to outright kill it. But i don't want to move the peony either, since they resent that big time. It's scarlet o'hara and i paid a pretty penny for her, so i guess i'll have to buck up and either trim the heck out of hot lips and/or relocate some cuttings. Here's hoping yours show up in the next week r 2. You are just a bit cooler than me so i'll cross my fingers for you!...See MoreObsessing over what I should have done....normal?
Comments (21)Spider~~ Oh my heavens, you are SO normal!! When we built this house, having DH as the architect that DREW the plans and his construction company did the building.....well, most of it was done BEFORE we were married, so I didn't live in this town yet....and HE made all of the decisions. There are so many things that I would have rathered have changed, but the one that really stands out is..... He had drawn and built a "spot" in the MBR that would just be the "right size" for our long dresser...well when the movers went to put in that dresser, that space was about 2 inches too short......long story short, it made a wonderful sitting area for my chair, table/lamp for reading or watching TV. So sometimes, the best laid plans go wrong, but I really do enjoy "my space" from his error and the dresser looks fine in the space it now occupies! But believe me, he took alot of "guff" for it at the time. There is no such a PERFECT house...or life, as far as that goes....things happen...that is just how life is. As far as it is not a life or death matter, I am sure you can work around any situation...just look at it as a challenge and I am sure you can come up with a solution to anything in a house or life. Good Luck....and if this is the only thing that bothers you, you are very fortunate. Take metaxa's advice to heart and be so glad you are getting a new home to live in, perfect or not~~~...See MoreWhat should I look for in a dog food?
Comments (35)Hi Stellabee! I am going to point out a couple of logical flaws in your post. Please don't take it personally. I have absolutely nothing against feeding raw. I just want to give you feedback on your reasoning as posted in your reply to this thread. Foxes (wild animals related to dogs, in the Family Canidae and Sub-Family Caninae, but in a different Genus and Species) do better on raw meat. Cooked meat gives them illness. Therefore, dogs (descended from wolves long ago, so in the same Genus and Species as wolves) should not eat cooked meat. That is: Fox + Cooked = Illness Dogs = Wolves Therefore Dogs + Cooked = Illness See the problem with the logic? There is nothing to connect Foxes with Dogs. This is not a logical argument. Next you say that modern meat is deficient in nutrients because of the way it is farmed. Lack of nutrients causes arthritis. Therefore feed your dog raw meat. So: Modern Meat = Lack of Nutrients Lack of Nutrients = Arthritis Therefore feed your dog Raw Modern Meat You don't specifically say to feed Modern Meat, but I don't see any directions on what else the Raw Meat is to be made of, so I must assume it is Modern Meat. Again, the logic does not follow. You tell us to feed the dogs the deficient meat, simply Raw. How does this help with arthritis? You do not say anything to explain why feeding Raw contributes to the nutritional value of the Modern Meat. You state that the Modern Meat never had the nutrients. Next, you tell us that carbs are not needed in a carnivore's diet. I wondered about this, given that many carnivores eat fruits and berries when available. So I went to Wikipedia: "A hypercarnivore is an animal which has a diet that is more than 70% meat, with the balance consisting of non-animal foods such as fungi, fruits or other plant material.[1][2] Some examples include the big cats, dolphins, wolves, eagles, snakes, marlin, most sharks. Virtually all members of the Canidae and Felidae are hypercarnivores in their natural state, including the domesticated dog and cat." There is also a subdivision of hyper carnivores that must eat only animal-based food. They are called "obligate carnivores." Cats are considered obligate carnivores, but dogs are not. As you point out, dogs are descended from Grey Wolves. Again from Wikipedia: "Wolves supplement their diet with fruit and vegetable matter: they willingly eat the berries of mountain ash, lily of the valley, bilberries, blueberries and cowberry. Other fruits include nightshade, apples and pears. They readily visit melon fields during the summer months." So carbs are a natural part of the wolf diet. This is research that disagrees with your contention that wolves do not eat carbs. Peas are carbs. If you don't want to give your dog carbs, why the peas? Another logical issue with your reasoning. That does not mean you should feed your dog something that it has developed an allergy to, though. I would never advocate for that. You simply need to figure out what the dog is allergic to. It may not be so much a reasoning problem as it is a writing problem. Take more time with writing to make sure you are saying what you intended to say. Using the logical breakdowns like I did above will help you ensure that you are getting your message across in your writing....See MoreMoral question-what would you have done?
Comments (3)A similar thing happened to me when I bought a $300 stroller from K***s. I ordered it online, ship to home. For some reason, a week after receiving it the order was canceled and refunded. It was the strangest thing. I called their 800# to tell them they gave me $300. I was put on hold while they talked to higher ups and was told since the refund was already put into my account there was nothing to be done, so I got a free stroller. It was around Christmas time, too, and I was like, wow, thanks, Merry Christmas to me, and the lady said the same....See Morejoyfulguy
