Sometimes she'd just eat the pill pocket and I'd find the pill on the floor. So, barring that, her vet taught me to just open her mouth (gently), pop in a pill, hold her mouth shut and gently stroke her throat. This causes them to reflexively swallow and down goes the pill.

The only Disney movie I can recall seeing was 'Cinderella'. The version featuring cast members from Downton Abbey. Lily James, who played 'Lady Rose' on Downton and was relegated to the role of cooking, cleaning, scrubbing out fireplaces, hence the name Cinder-ella. Sophie McShera, who was the downstairs scullery maid 'Daisy' on Downton Abbey, this time got to play one of the spoiled upstairs step-sisters. Jill |

(not dry food) Meaty cat food for the cat and into "warm gravy meal" for ferrets. They never notice that little bit added. |

The young man restocking the fresh vegetables had no idea what leeks were. In a perfect world he'd have known. Alas, it's not a perfect world. The guy checked with the produce manager who confirmed, nope, no leeks. I finished my shopping there and then went to Food Lion. They had some nice beautiful leeks. And yes, I made the soup. :) Jill |

I don't buy a lot of fresh parsley but when I do I have to say it's mostly curly leaf parsley. I tend to use more dried parsley than anything (not not even a lot of that). I buy the curly parsley, place it on the kitchen table with paper towels underneath, let it dry out then and store it in a plastic bottle for later use. That's just me. Jill |

Most people can't really identify it when it's there in small doses. However, if you use too much it becomes way too obvious, and in an unpleasant way. |

Yet, you have been paying other people to do the work and if you had a job you would make a lot more money coming in that you are getting from your tenants. You would be so much better off just renting, or buying a smaller house and living on your own. |

A couple major dairies have gone under recently. I have seen news reports over the years of cows starving because farmers can't afford to feed them. Our supply management came under fire at the recent trade talks. Trump wanted us to drop tariffs on American dairy products so that they could dump their products here. That will destroy the system that keeps us with a steady supply of products with stable prices and enables dairy farmers to make a decent living. |
