I don't bring my dog anywhere around food, unless it's nice weather and
the tables and chairs. It is allowed where I live. I have never seen anyone bring their dog into the grocery store unless it is an assist dog, I do bring my dog in her stroller into the mall and I have yet to have gotten kicked out over it. Children LOVE to look at my dog in the stroller. It is the type of stroller that has a screen on it so children can look and parents are not fearful that my dog would bite. My dog doesn't bite but it's an added precaution.
In comparison, my dog is friendly, is not a yapper, is well groomed, and potty trained. I have seen many, many children who are ill behaved, running around uncontrollably and I've several times passed by babies in strollers who smell like their diaper hasn't been changed in a week.
To the person who supposedly has the severe allergy, I say this...If you have such a severe allergy to dogs, then you most likely have severe allergies to a bunch of other stuff, too, and like the other poster said, you could just as easily be allergic to passing by the perfume counter as you would my 4 lb. chihuahua.
Lastly, to the OP, you need a lesson in manners. Even if you don't agree with the dog being in the store, you shouldn't have gotten ugly with the owner. She was minding her business, why didn't you just mind yours?
Weather
It's 27 degrees here in Upstate NY with a lot of snow. It's a heat wave for us today. LOL.
Weather in NY
This coming week in Upstate NY it's going to be 95 and possibly above. It should get a little warmer in Lake George, I would think...possibly? It's always a lot of fun in Lake George. When I was young, we went there very year on vacation for many years.
Squiters ain't as bad as the below 0 weather..sm
guess I just can't take the humidity and the heat though. I had been to VA beach and it seemed fine to me..not dirty or ugly..I liked it. The women there will steal your husbands if you ain't lookin' though...lost my husband, my home, and had to go through Isabel all alone. Came runnin' back home to WI as soon as divorce courts would allow. bad memories, I guess. some people like it...some people don't. I am one that don't. sorry. but I did love Shenandoah Valley...gorgeous area! Love the mountains!
Could it be cooler weather? - nm

how's the weather? 20 below with windchill here.

bad weather in Atlanta
My sister lives there but they just got a lot of thunder and some rain, northeast of Atlanta. I hate to even hear the word. I hope it quietens there soon for you.
Are you WA state? I am and you just described our weather!
My kids keep asking me to put on the heater but I don't want to because this is when I'm supposed to be SAVING money on electricity. I wonder if the mountain snow is a record of latest lower-land snow? This year has been CRAZY weather!
It's been in the low 70's. Beautiful weather. Come on down!

You can get your local weather

Weather was just too gorgeous today.
I went outside in a sleeveless shirt to decide how to dress to walk the dogs, and ended up tidying up the yard instead! Won't my neighbors be relieved, LOL.
Yes, the dogs eventually got their walk, but first I fed them. Sasha decided not to eat tonight ... until I explained that we'd go for a walk only after she ate. She ate it right up and then did her time-for-my-walk dance!
Hope this weather makes it up north soon.
It is hot upstate, definitely swim weather, sm
You tend to have cooler temps over there. Upstate and across the river, much warmer.
Hmmm, rather than warm weather, could it be
menopause? I don’t have the sweating during the night. As far as the weather, my grown daughter told me one time if she had been born where there was snow (as you are talking about) as soon as she grew up she would get outta there- it is just what you prefer. I have only been snowed in twice in the past say 15 years and that is fine with me. Oh, I do enjoy the soup and salad at Olive Garden- and eat without sweating.
Where do you live that it is snow weather?
It's been close to 90 almost all week here in central PA. My DH loves snow and is ready to move north.
could be a weather balloon; they were orange
nm
LOL! If you don't like the weather in Georgia, just hang around SM
a while and it will change soon!
How's the weather in your neck of the woods?
Mid 70s here in the Northeast with bright warm sunshine! Woo Hoo ! It's a doozy of a day.
What is the weather, What is the price, size, etc. sm
I am freezing up here. Would love to be able to buy and not rent.
"Baghdad" update: crummy weather!
Our weekend in SF was unseasonably crummy - even for San Francisco! I was in Golden Gate Park on Sunday: Fog, drizzle, & wind. Bah!
I hear ya! I am waiting for at least sweater weather.
Doesn't look like it's coming soon.
Wow talk about extremes! What wacky weather! nm

Putting cold weather to good use.
This morning I made home-made chicken stock in my pressure cooker. It's now been strained and is sitting on the back steps in a metal pot. It's only 18 degrees outside, so it shouldn't take long for the fat to come to the top and solidify, which is something I usually have to do overnight in the fridge. I should be having some nice soup for dinner or late afternoon snack today!
We have very changeable weather, lots of extremes.
It can be blazing hot and humid in the summer, and well below freezing in the winter. I'm also a backpacker and am very used to hiking and sleeping in the winter woods, down on the ground with snow all around. I love that, but I'm always prepared for it. At home, I keep the thermostat at 62 during the daytime when I'm home alone. I wear fleece pants and wool sweaters and vests, and I'm usually comfortable. It's 18 outside today, but my heater hasn't come on once except for the morning wake-up when it automatically goes up to 70 for an hour or so. At 3:00 it'll kick up to 68 until 10:00 p.m., and then we sleep through the night back at 62. I couldn't do that if DH were home during the day. He likes the house much warmer than I do.
My office is next to the kitchen, so I'm keeping the chill down by making soup and baking bread today. I get up for a break, knead the dough, let it rise. It's about ready to bake now. Yum!
I'm enjoying this, but I'm sure glad it won't last here for more than a few days.... I hope.
Stay warm!
Normal wear for warm weather is
cutoffs and a T shirt, cold is sweats OR my flannel PJs.
You have fresh peas, too, in that cool northern weather of yours? :) nm

I'm starting to hate this southern weather, seriously. It was in the 90s this week. I don't kn
keep my tanks out. The other night I went to bed in sweats and woke up drenched in sweat. EGAD!!
I used to live in Upstate NY/VT and I miss those winters something terrible. Don't go on and on and on about how lucky I have it, because believe me, I MISS THOSE WEATHERS!! I owned my own John Deere snowblowers and LOVED every minute of it. I loved being snowed indoors. I loved making snow angels. I loved actually being able to eat soup and not sweat like a hog.
I miss it, miss it, miss it. I'm really beginning to resent my husband who has never left the south. I fell in love with him and we've never left. He won't even go up there to visit. He'd live in the Miami keys if it weren't for me. I haven't seen snow in 10 years! Please, someone send some my way.................
South AL is where I live - look up Orange Beach..
Schools have people across the county monitoring weather sm
to assess delays and closings. If there was legitimate fog, the school would be aware of it.
If it wasn't excused, it likely was A) not significant enough to cause any major delay or B) nonexistent.
Think, people.
What part of country, mild, cold weather or?
Do not remember seeing what part of the country you live in. Florida as compared to Michigan, I think makes some difference.
The weather has been HORRIBLE just about everywhere his Winter!!! Mother Nature Angry! :-(.....nm

What a nice response by a nice mom
What a gracious, well-adjusted response to a rude, obviously maladjusted poster--Hard to imagine someone with such an empty life and such a petty spirit that they would take the time to post criticism about a kid's feet! (Some people really have major issues, LOL!)
Nice to know I'm not alone ...
my son is 20, and is finally taking his road test in 2 weeks, and even at his age I'm scared to death. Have been riding back & forth with him to college, lately I've been reading a book while he drives to be sure he isn't depending on me to watch out for things for him.
He has been learning on and off for years, one minute he wants his license, the next he couldn't care less. But I guess it's finally time now. And I do feel he is much more mature at 20 than he was at 16, but for most kids it's hard to get them to wait.
I'm not as nice as you, but
I recently tried to say something really nice to a person at church I admired, and who had just had surgery and was finally back at church. I said something about missing him and caring about him and he seemed offended. Everybody seems to love my husband, though he doesn't go very often, but they seem annoyed with me. Not sure what I did either.
I have a cat I got when she was 1...nice with certain
She is now 3-1/2 and she always hisses at my daughter and her fiance.....it's really not nice, and it's always ongoing, and I *think* she (the cat) may be jealous. I never had a jealous cat before. *lol*
I had a male cat for 13 years who died in 2004 and he did hiss but not at the daughter (but then she kind of grew up with him....)
hope it gets better with your little furkid...(cute!!)
It's so nice to know I'm not the only one
I have three children and have bottle fed all of them. With my first, I was so determined to breasfeed. I "breastfed" my daughter for 3 1/2 weeks. She always cried and I thought she was just colicky. Come to find out I was not producing enough milk and I either needed to supplement with formula or bottle feed all together. Well, I went home and cried my eyes out feeling like a terrible mother because after her first bottle she hardly ever cried again!!!!
It is so nice to know I am not the only one that had a problem like this. I have always felt so bad that I could not breastfeed. I do not think that other women should me made to feel that way. Breastfeeding is a wonderful thing, but it is not the only way to have healthy children. I was bottle fed and doing just fine and so are my three children.
I met her once - she was SO nice!

Very nice
But I'm in zone 7a! It might survive here, with southern exposure, but it would be iffy.
My hydrangea is just about to bloom, though - the blooms are somewhat similar. I thought I lost it over the cold, cold winter but it came back and has little florets all over getting ready to burst into bloom. 
it's nice you appreciate her this way
there are so many nasty ones at that age that care only about their own image, no compassion for others. My daughter is like yours, too, and she cannot stand all the snotty immature ones - who raises kids like that.
nice!
have you ever heard of kicking a person when they are down? your posts are disgusting. maybe you did need your dad to give you some better manners. we are all thrilled that you have such a wonderful life. personally, wonder what you say to them when they are upset, scrape their knee, make a bad grade, wreck their first car, or are in a bad relationship one day. hope you respond better to them than you did this poster. shame on you.
Nice guy
I love random acts of ego boosters. :-)
nice guy
Just yesterday, my daughter and I (she drives with her permit) were taking my dog to the vet for a routine visit, and our dog was in the front seat belted in with his harness leash, with my daughter driving and me in the back seat. On the way home, we stopped for an iced cappuccino at a drive-through, and the young guy giving us our order kiddingly remarked to my daughter as to the fact that the dog is riding in front, and she "makes her friend" ride in the back seat. My daughter replied that it was her "mother", and he said, "Wow"! It made my day, but I take care of myself and have always looked younger than my age. I am a humble person, but I know I am attractive. I strive to always be in good health and in good shape.  That was a nice "pick-me-up."
Isn't it really nice to use?!
I've only tried the Bare Minerals and only use it when I go out, which isn't often, so it's lasted me a looooong time. I have skin that peels, breaks out, or gets a rash from just about anything I put on it--even baby moisturizers. This has been the only makeup I have been able to use without any of those side effects. It doesn't have any smell, any weight to it, and yet it magically covers and stays put. The only bad thing I've had happen is when I wore it and worked up a sweat this summer....it did make my face itch but nothing bad happened. I highly recommend it to anyone with uber-sensitive skin like mine and I'm glad you've enjoyed it too--no matter what the brand!
What a nice looking dog.
as an owner. We can love our dogs and have our peace at the same time.
Not nice, Kit because
I work 14 hours a day, have a husband, have four people who live in our home and find this a trial because our home is too small for what we have, especially since my mom died and left me all her stuff. I can't seem to get rid of enough stuff to make cleaning easy or something do-able in a reasonable period of time. On my day off it takes my daughter, husband and I eight hours to clean and I am still not satisfied. I have massive amounts of laundry that I do each day besides work and cook all our meals too. It would help if we could afford to remodel the house (it is old and has no storage areas and not enough electrical outlets), and I already have three sheds in the back yard that are full, so I am at a point where I either have to get a loan and remodel, move to a larger house with storage and more outlets and a couple more clothes closets would be nice. It would be wonderful if I could have a pantry again. I especially abhor my kitchen which is small, designed by a man who must have only warmed up leftover takeout, and has NO ROOM for people who actually cook food and do dishes and own appliances. I am too tired to move and too scared to get a loan, so I keep on staying here and the time it would take to clean it to my satisfaction on a daily basis would ensure that I could only work 4 hours a day and then we would all starve because of lack of income. It only takes a couple of minutes several times a day to check the internet, so that time saved would be of no help to me. I only watch one TV show a day while we have a lunch break and after I eat the lunch I fold clothes, unload the dishes and start dinner while watching the other half of it, and have three a week that I watch in the evening (usually I record these and watch them after I go to bed at night) so that time would not be saved either. I have delegated, my daughter is an immense help, but still I CANNOT CLEAN MY OWN HOUSE to my satisfaction in a reasonable period of time by myself. Sometimes I feel like just leaving it all here and moving away without anything and starting over in an EMPTY HOUSE. That, I could clean, no sweat!
That was so nice!
Thanks Desperado and the same to you also! 
you obviously were being nice
and letting her delay the 2 wks rent...but if she is going to start 'acting like a renter' -- whoa! that sounds bad -- i'd say its time to cut your losses and ask her to leave.
that was really nice of you (sm)
Can't say what I would do, but that's a very lucky dog to have you as a neighbor. A friend of mine was in a similar situation. Her dog was poisoned by an annoyed neighbor... or someone... She lives in the country and the pen wasn't even near anyone's property, but dogs are vulnerable to any mishap when left out on a long-term basis.
My dogs howl when they hear the garage door when I come home from an errand and many times get the neighbors' dogs howling...
They'll also howl on cue. My daughter looks at my male and puts her head up in the air like she's howling, he he will immediately start and then my female dog joins in. It's like a little tune. The rest of us in the house (and probably the people next door) are not amused by this...
You are a good person.
very nice (nm)

Sure it would be nice
but there's no reason we can't discuss those here.
Seen any good one's lately? not me. too expensive to go to the theater.
Oh, but I did see the lake house...wow! That was such a good movie! I watched it about 5 times in 1 weekend!
NICE!! Thank you! nm

Nice pic!
Now I'm looking forward to summer! It's 17 degrees here and windy.
Plus, I'd love to look that good in a bathing suit!
