that's a memory buster

Off topic, but cute.

This was around the late 1980s ... my oldest was around 8 or 9 years of age. My parents, (now ex-) husband, and I were playing Trivial Pursuit. It was the Entertainment category. My daughter wanted to read the next question (about the TV show "Bonanza") and instead of saying Virginia she said vagina.

Pause and then four adults became unglued. And my daughter is just sitting there looking totally baffled ("What'd I say?)

"I'll explain it in about 10 years, sweetheart." 


Get a Hiney Buster! That will do the trick! nm

If you would try the Sugar Buster diet you'd

be surprised at the energy you will have.   You'll notice a difference in about 3 days.  I'm fixing to start it again because while I get up fine in the morning, after about 2 hours I hit a wall and it takes me about 2 hours to get past it where I can work again.   The only problem is I still have 2 hours left in my morning shift when I hit that wall so need to be working. 


 


Anyway the diet will give you lots of energy - similar to being on energy drinks, it will be healthier for you and if you need to lose a few pounds you can do that too. 


Beagle
We adopted a beagle mix from the Humane Society (I'm in Hickory, NC).  She was in great physical shape, had her shots, clean, everything.  She was absolutely the best pet.  She didn't bark either except when someone was in the yard (on either side that she thought did not belong there).  Smart, smart dogs.  I hope yours brings you as much joy as our Sadie did us.  She had been terribly abused and neglected before the Humane Society got her.  It took some time for her to come around but when she did, I learned the meaning of unconditional love. 
beagle
Don't be surprised if he is not especially cuddly. Sadie was not. But we all talked to her and petted her all the time. It was amazing the words she knw. We found ours to be very stubborn. It was her way, right away. But very loyal and so sweet. She knew what time the school bus was coming and wanted out. She knew the neighbor's cars and would want out to go get a treat from them.
My beagle has learned
not to lay near the foot pedal, but just to the side of it. It's the darn cat that won't stay off my keyboard. He'll even lay on it while I'm typing, and knows I'm going to boot him off! I think he likes the attention when the kids are at school and DH is gone to work.
we also have a beagle/hound mix

He is still very much a puppy so he's a bit hyper, constantly wants to play (and I mean constantly! This dog never gets tired!) But when he's not playing, he loves to cuddle, always has to be sitting on our feet or lying next to us in bed. He even tries sitting on our laps (which would be fine if he was a lapdog but he's not, he's nearly 45 pds!) But we love him; we also couldn't imagine life without him.


WOW - I have never heard of a beagle that could learn !! LOL
The beagles I had did what they wanted, when they wanted, and how dare I treat them like a dog, i.e. they hated it if I made them eat out of a dog dish or god forbid, I did not let them on the furniture or in the bed - LOL!!! They did not think they were beagles, but humans!
I rescued a Beagle last week from

my local animal shelter.  I took him to the Vet the next day to have him checked over because he had a few things going on with him:


1.  He was covered in ticks.  I had pulled several off him when I got him home and the Vet pulled several more off in her office.  The ticks really aren't an issue now as Frontline was applied at the Vet's office, and any ticks that remained have died and dropped off.  I have not found any more on him, although I was very shocked that the animal shelter allowed him to get in that condition.  The Vet was appalled.


2.  He had a terrible cough.  Very deep and raspy.  The Vet said she thought it was a respiratory infection but could not rule out kennel cough as he had been at the shelter for over a month.  She prescribed an antibiotic and we are 1 week into taking it.  The cough seems to be getting better, thank goodness.  It just sounds horrible.  I also have to give him a Benadryl twice a day.


3.  He had an infection in both ears.  Beagles like other dogs such as Bassett Hounds, with the long floppy ears, have to have their ears cleaned on a regular basis.  His obviously had not been cleaned in some time.  So I have to put ear drops in his ears twice a day.  He hates it, but his ears are getting better.


The shelter did not have any information to give me about him.  They told me he was picked up as a stray and they kept him for as long as they did in case someone came to claim him.  After a month, they put his picture on their website, thus putting him up for adoption.  I had been wanting to get a Beagle for quite some time, and when I saw him on the web, I decided to go get him.  If I hadn't gotten him when I did, and no one else came along, he would have been put down after one week.


I would have taken him anyway even if I had known prior of his medical problems.  I fell in love with him immediately.  He is very loving and is housebroken already.  I have yet to hear him bark though.  I'm not sure if this is because he can't, won't, or if it makes him cough so he doesn't do it yet.  It's also not common (around here anyway) to find a full-blooded dog of any kind at the pound.  There are other animal rescue organizations that specialize in that.


I have seen him go through increadible changes in the last week.  His coat is shinier and his eyes look brighter.  I can tell by his behavior that he is feeling better.  My concern is that every time he drinks water he coughs and hacks afterward.  He will cough until he gags and then he is fine.  He doesn't vomit though.  It's almost as if he is breathing water through his nose while he is drinking.


I was just curious to see if anyone else had encountered this before with their dog?  I love him (Buster) to pieces already and feel that I did a good thing by saving him from certain death.  I just want him to get better.


Thanks.


How sweet! I have a 27 lb. beagle at mine!

We adopted a beagle/hound mix from a shelter
He had kennel cough an eye infection & ear infections in both ears. I was appalled b/c this shelter rescued him from a kill-shelter in VA. The shelter we got him from call themselves "Puppy Angels" and they go on & on about how much they love the animals & all they do for them. They told me he was healthy & had been examined by the shelter owner's sister who was a vet & also the other VA shelter's vet. I don't believe that for a second- how could have been seen by 2 vets & never treated? Anyway, he is fine now. We clean his ears periodically to prevent infections, the kennel cough is all cleared up & his eye is fine now, he is now completely healthy. We are so happy we rescued him, he's made such a wonderful addition to our family. He's incredibly loud & very hyper but he's also the sweetest dog I've ever met. He's our baby!

If this is a company named for a man...sm
I've been there and done that. I had to get Labor Board. I eventually did get paid in dribs and drabs. If it's the same company, best get on it now. He's done it before and seems to lapse into the same habits about every year or so. Even so, ANY company who doesn't pay needs punishment. My guess is that the MTSO isn't going without pay and if there are, indeed, "bad" transcriptionists, the MTSO should know who he/she/they is/are and do something about it without punishing the whole crew. Good luck!
Louisville, CO named 5th best place
Uh, oh, another secret out. If you can swing it, it's a bedroom community of Denver near Arvada and Aurora and Boulder. I don't live in Denver, but live in Colorado Springs and love it. People who go to Denver frequently complain about the traffic...no place is perfect....sometimes our traffic is bad here too. If you love mountains and sunshine, this is the place for you. Good luck; hope you find what you're looking for.

I have a beautiful baby girl Exquisite named
We call her an Exquisite (breed) because she is a mix: Shih Tzu, Yorkie, Poodle, and Cairn Terrier.

We're also planning a family, and so recently acquired a baby Yorkie-Poo . . . I call him "Ucky" because he pees and poops all over the place (getting better), but his given name is Lucky. (I still give him lots of love, and don't think he realizes what I'm calling him . . . LOL)
Amenand then some! Where WAS Julia's mind anyway when she named those poor little critters?
    
Cat Lucky (saved her life & she is so ungrateful!) & Sheltie named Casey

I was going to say unless you were the original 3 brave souls named on the original suit.
I still had heard lately that no one else, not one person, had been allowed to join in, so you must be in a separate class??
