My impression has always been that she keeps a lot of *inappropriate*
food on hand.
 
Remember when she didn't have room in her freezer for anything because
it was full of ice cream bars? Or maybe it was popsicles, not sure.

Ice cream bars are inappropriate? I should have known this half a
century ago!

It doesn't really matter what the excuse was at the time. If confronted
with what her story was at the time the story will change.

Here we go again. Why do you buy food based on online ratings? I saw
exactly the same product (Michilena's) you're talking about when
perusing the frozen food aisle today. Yep, it looks like cheap crappy
tasting mac & cheese:

Good info there. I generally did morning and night with a noon 'noshe'.
 
The height for the raised dish set we made was 16.5 for him. That may
be a bit short but it was better than the floor. The bowls are on top
instead of set in holes (framed to keep them in place) so the top of
the bowls is about 19 inches. He's 35-36 at the shoulders (my tape
measure and getting him to stand tall when measuring is problematic).
 
Sadly, my other 2 dogs passed away last year (old age pretty much) so
no feeding issues with that.

Check out Naturvet brand Senior Wellness Hip&Joint Advanced with
glucosamine , Chondroitin and MSM . When our Goldie was getting on in
years we gave this to her , it helped a lot to keep her mobile . Goldie
was a "German shepherd mix" on paper , but we're pretty sure she was
half coyote . She made it to 13 , got into it with a critter out in the
woods and was badly injured , we ended up putting her down .

Recent research suggests that glucosamine not only doesn't help with
joint issues, but might make them worse. That's for people. I don't
know if it could be different for dogs.

That's nice, but this has nothing at all to do with forcing kids into
classes they don't want to be in. It is post secondary education. They
have to apply and to qualify for it, and someone has to pay for it.

It is not bollocks. I applied to assistance in my first year. I was
entitled to a $135 loan and a $15 grant. It was such a paltry amount
that I did not even bother to apply in my second year. The load got
screwed up in the middle of my fourth year the bank started hassling me
for immediate repayment.

When I was going to technical school, most of my classmates were about 10 years younger than I. Most of them were slackers and didn't pay for their classes. I'd try to hook up with older people that were serious students as lab partners. One of them dropped out, another one got a job at the airlines, another on died on me. I didn't have much luck with lab partners.
 
Another student was an electrician with experience working on high tension lines. I could always tell when he was walking down the hall into class. Nobody walks like an ex-Marine DI. Another guy's job was laying intercontinental underwater telecommunications cable. That guy was from Liverpool. I loved those guys and I was glad to meet them but most of the other students didn't want to be there. Being in a class with people like that was a real drag.

It is bollocks! If we failed our first or subsequent years, we lost the
grant. That was incentive enough for most.

Then there were guys like Ernie, who was at the university on grants and
loans. He was one guy you could always count on seeing at the bar. He
was in first year for the fourth time. I guess things vary from one
place to another.

Yes, it is an abortion with our calling it an abortion, but both are
medical procedures and should have been available to people who were in
need of them without the subterfuge.

Indeed they are induction ready pans. I'll be on the lookout for those. They seem kind of expensive. OTOH, it is a unique construction - a hard anodized aluminum pan with a steel jacketed slug on the bottom. I'll pick one up if the price is right. OTOH, most of the ones on eBay come from Australia. That seems odd. Will those even work in the Northern hemisphere?

Last week my non-stick Calphalon skillet finally went to frypan heaven
after 10 years of great service. I had a Bialetti Titan non-stick frypan
waiting in the wings. It's done a great job and the stone-like interior
took a little getting used to but it's performed very well.
 
The Bialetti came from Bed, Bath, & Beyond and I used a coupon which is
always nice.

Well, my nephew had a pet ferret and it would mark its' territory and it
was a VERY distinctive odor. Maybe because its' scent glands had not
been removed but it was quite pungent.
