    Had to hire a dog behaviorist.

    Janie - You are the one who knows what is best for your dog. I have tried EVERYTHING to get my dog to walk without pulling. I have tried: harness, a harness that pinches in the front, loose leash walking technique, giving her a bit of freedom on the leash, etc. I am now using a "choke...

    Hey Grammar Police!!!

    Slang, of course, would not be included. Slang is a bastardization of the language, no matter what language is spoken! It isn't that we bastardized the bastardization. It is that the Brits, over the years, have bastardized it, while the Americans haven't. This means proper Englsh, not slang...

    Hey Grammar Police!!!

    According to many language historians, it is actually the British who have bastardized the language. I frequently point out this fact to my English husband. He doesn't like it...hence, I do it:D! Carrie

    World's fattest mom WTH?

    I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion on what is considered "sexy." Many people find larger sized men and women good looking. You don't have to be a size 2 to be sexy and beautiful. Carrie

    Have you ever noticed...

    Why is it that at about the age of 10 or 11, every other word out of a girls mouth is "like"? Carrie - who has an almost 12 year-old DD who says LIKE WAYYYY too much!

    Since there is so much controversy right now.....

    Carola - I am not "spreading misinformation." Maybe where you are from in Germany it is not true. However, I know for a fact it IS true in the VA health system and in England. My step-daughter has two masses in her abdomen - one the size of a grapefruit the other the size of a lemon! She has...

    Since there is so much controversy right now.....

    I agree Kathryn. I definitely wouldn't hold up the VA as a positive example of "universal healthcare." If you listen to military retirees, you hear the same complaints that conservatives say happen in "socialistic" countries like England and Germany: long waits for appointments and procedures...

    Anybody watching 24 this season?

    I don't like him either! He always slouches when he walks and kind of squints his eyes. You know who I miss? President Palmer (either one really, but I was thinking about the first one)! Carrie

    Anybody watching 24 this season?

    I am watching 24 again this year. I have liked most of it. I definitely don't like Dana and Cole. I actually don't like the actress who plays Dana. I like the storyline stuff with the IRK president, his wife, his daughter, etc. I am not sure about the lovey dovey stuff between Jack and...

    Cory Haim passes

    How tragic! It is so sad when people (celebrity or otherwise) struggle so hard to beat addiction only to fall victim again and again. Carrie

    Since there is so much controversy right now.....

    If politicians are normal, that says some seriously messed up things about humanity. Maybe they were normal and went in with lots of great ideas. Is government the epitomy of "power corrupts"? The worst part is, once elected, congressman are seldom "unelected." Hence the need for term...
