But how would YOU like it if suddenly you get this totally changed food every day?

I eat different types of food every day, and I love it. Thanks for asking.

But how would YOU like it if suddenly you get this totally changed food every day?

Your poor dog. Just get her her old food back

Or, in case if you're trying to switch your pet over to a new brand of food, go slowly, and mix it up for awhile. Alternatively, set a bit of the new food aside from the old food, and see if your pet will pick up on it.

As for that new 21.000 pound bomb, is there seriously any scenario that the US Airforce can come up with that would REQUIRE such a device? I mean, the Daisy Cutter isn't big enough??

And in other news today, ANOTHER black hawk helicopter crashed, making it about the eighthundred and fourteenth since January.
Can some who knows about these things please enlighten me WHAT THE FUCK is up with those POS helicopters??? Are they even DOING any maintenance on them?? This is seriously the sixth or seventh incident in less than half a year with these hunks of junk. Why the fuck are we even flying these things anymore?

The Black Hawk helicopter has now killed MORE US soldiers than the last three wars did... Way to go there Uncle Sam, maybe you can skimp a few bucks more somewhere. After all, plenty of soldiers to go around, eh? > : (

According to this article:

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&ncid=578&e=1&cid=578&u=/nm/20030311/ts_nm/iraq_usa_bomb_dc

it wasn't that big of a deal - probably because they weren't going to let anybody get anywhere near the thing.

"It looked like a white mushroom cloud, almost like cotton or smoke you'd see from a fire, kind of billowy," said base spokeswoman Karen Roganov, who watched from a rooftop 30 miles away. "We did not feel anything. We saw the cloud and several seconds later we heard a boom."

Base officials warned residents in neighboring communities to expect a loud noise when the bomb was dropped. But police in Pensacola, about 30 miles away, said they heard nothing when the bomb fell and were unaware the test was completed.

-----------------------------------------
Of course I could be wrong... but really, what are the chances of that happening twice?

Anybody reading this live near the base where that puppy was dropped?

I wonder what it was like to be near the blast.

It doesn't seem right that a bomb that large use parachutes for part of the trajectory and rely on GPS.

Can a parachute be manipulated enough over that short a period of time to actually use GPS?

Here's a link to a video of the blast (it's pretty crappy video).

How many toes does a fish have?
How many wings on a cow? I wonder, yep. I wonder!

Hmm...apparently money - even a few dollars a hour - is worth more than a human life.

I am sorry, but at what point do the hating and murdering come into play???

I do believe that radio-telescope was the one used in the filming of that Bond movie "Goldeneye". Heh.

holy crap, this is just too weird, I downloaded Seti@home about a week ago out of boredom, seemed like something worthwhile for my computer to do during all of it's idle time.

Thinking about it further makes me think that maybe there is more to this story than what's being reported... kind of like the anti-war t-shirt guy. Has to be.

What was the deal with that? I never heard. I read the initial story and had no idea why he'd be arrested for that.


Anyway this pizza place's owner deserves a nice punch in the eye. Screw them. Hope they go out of business, if they don't make a HUGE apology (not that I think the woman should take her job back there -- I wouldn't).

It's quite easy though. They should randomise the characters each player gets.

My puppy never could handle change of food..
we couldn't feed canned "wet" food...
the only time our dog would eat that stuff is when it was jealous.. it's amazing what a dog would eat, when it's jealous...

I like it

we actually made our dog's food for about 9 months, but that was a lot of work.

Same here... after the vet put her on rice and boiled chicken/ground beef to overcome something, we decided that seemed like a good basis for a diet, but she tired of it quickly, and since it was so much effort, it was back to commercial food.

right now we've got her mostly on natural balance, dick van patten's brand

We've tried that too, and she really likes it... I like that some of the proceeds got to animal shelters too (though I'm always wary of unspecified "portions" as donations), but the stuff is really hard to find around here.

We've also considered that BARF (bones and raw food) diet that some swear by, but all the evidence I've seen about concerns this regimen raises seem scientific, while all the stuff I've seen supporting it seems mostly empirical, so we're steering clear of that.

the farting is something that we've learned to live with, tho, the food just changes the flavor, not the intensity

I'm amazed that pets fart, it just never occured to me that they do; but of course they do. It was just something I never thought of. I realized it when my wife's guinea pig started making a stink. Whew, too much lettuce.

Don't laugh, yes I own a guinea pig, she got it before we got married. And he's one tough guinea pig, too. He weighs 50% more than an average guinea pig and he can beat up the dog next door. So it's a taco bell dog look a-like, but my pig can still take him!

Poor Hudson! Her master is so mean and doesn't wubs her anymore!

Ugh... Reading that actually made me nauseous.

You too? I'm sitting here having lunch and reading it! Double Ugh!

I do find it slightly humorous (but still cool) that you can find pet tips at a gaming site. Only at Blue's!

also, "meat meal" can contain carcasses from animal shelters, i.e. cats and dogs; and the chemical used to euthanize these animals is not affected by the rendering process that turns the carcasses into meal. this means that small amounts may be present in the final product, that is supposed to be fed to one's pets.

Ugh... Reading that actually made me nauseous.

didn't meant to imply you did skimp, i was just sayin'

that was just info i was glad to know about. after hearing that, we actually made our dog's food for about 9 months, but that was a lot of work. right now we've got her mostly on natural balance, dick van patten's brand it's duck and potato based, so it avoids a lot of the chicken/corn allergies/issues. if we run low, sometimes she gets a bit of iams kibble, and she never pukes (unless it's because of one of my girlfriend's hairs...). the farting is something that we've learned to live with, tho, the food just changes the flavor, not the intensity

We use to feed our Lab "Nutro" dog food. ... We switched to Purina One (turkey based) and it stopped. He has also dropped about 7lbs and has more energy.

Interesting, this is all actually Nutro dry food here, but I'm not into the Purina stuff due to its reliance upon by-products. On the other hand, Hudson couldn't be any skinnier without it being bad for her, and she couldn't possibly have more energy, so we're pretty set in those regards.

so don't skimp on the puppy! get a quality brand with no "meat meal" and the dog shouldn't have any puking problems when switching food.

See the above, the Nutro and Nutro Maxx food she gets is definitely high-quality... the dog eats better than I do.
