This is my personal, but hardly private place to voice my opinions. kdenhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1262885907379576453.post-15660585431895398012017-11-20T03:00:00.000-08:002017-11-20T03:00:01.457-08:00A Few Days OffOur little Beau left Saturday and we were sure ready for a break. He was a sweet little guy but wanted demanded to play ball outside at least three times a day. Walks would not suffice; I tried. He would spin around on his leash totally twisting it up. Plus, he would pull and weave. His owner highly suggested that we just play ball since it's his most favorite thing in the world. He might be back in January......eesh. I love playing with dogs, I really do. But it's hard with real obsessive ones that are only interested in one thing.

Our next two will be here tonight and I'm a bit nervous. We first met them in June and even though we thought we'd have time to meet up again, it just didn't happen. One is quite anxious but we have heard that before and things turned out fine, so keeping fingers crossed.

My husband and I went shopping for Christmas gifts for our grandsons yesterday. I usually have things ordered by now but just didn't get around to it. I can't believe how expensive toys have gotten and for boys they seem to be so 'action packed'. I'm sure that's what they like, but you have to keep in mind what the parents might object to. That felt like everything on the shelves, and I'm sure they have one of everything anyway. So we settled on 2 board games the whole family can play.

Then later in the day The Kid and I headed to the dreaded mall to get a calendar for my mom. We also treat ourselves to Bath and Bodyworks once a year, so many things to choose from. We came home tired but smelling nice. Hubby then made us dinner and got a fire going in the fireplace. It was really a nice day of rest before the onslaught of dogs that will take us clear up through February.

And here's a good one for you. I got this catalog in the mail a few weeks ago, don't even remember what it's called. I took a few pictures and then threw it away.

I don't consider myself to be that naive, but the fact that there is even a catalog for this kind of stuff sort of shocked me. I'm wondering what I had bought in the past to get me on this kind of mailing list.

So that wraps up this past week and this Dog Lady wishes you all a wonderful Thanksgiving feast to fill your body and soul.kdenhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1262885907379576453.post-84289873903941031072017-11-13T03:00:00.000-08:002017-11-13T03:00:13.604-08:00My First Beau

This little guy Beau arrived last Wednesday so his Mom could go to Mexico for 10 days. It was amazing that her days fit exactly with what I had available. She has used Rover before but her little boy seems to do better alone and not with a group of dogs. The last sitter she used who boards more dogs at a time, had a German Shepherd of her own who bit Beau right in the head. So needless to say she wanted to find another home who only takes one dog. I'm really happy that I can fill that need for people.

He's a 9 year old Miniature Australian Shepherd with lots of energy. He's got one blue eye and one wonky one. And I do mean wonky. His eyeball is rotated in the socket and although he can see, it's only a sliver from the bottom. Basically when you look at him, you are looking at part of the back of the eye. It kind of gives me the willies and it looks painful, but it doesn't seem to bother him.

His owner warned us about his talent for food thievery. He can hunt out chocolate like a hormonal woman. Only after being here for a few hours I had to go drop in on Garfield the cat. My husband called me and said that he had put the left over pork chops on the counter, then went to the bathroom. Upon his return, our dinner had been devoured. For being a small dog, he has lots of stretching ability. We had to put our garbage can on the basement stairs landing and hung a small bag up high in the kitchen to use instead. One day I absentmindedly threw a very old stale candy bar in the large can and he found it. Good thing he brought it into the living room before he actually ate it.

After doing this for awhile, I'm not surprised anymore on the feeding regime of some of these dogs. Beau's food consists of dehydrated meat, fresh chicken gizzards, psyllium, kibble, and canned pumpkin. Hot water is added to this to make 4 servings. Then each serving has more water added to it before serving. It smells like Thanksgiving stuffing!

Another family cooked chicken or beef then had me add kibble, fresh carrots, peas, blueberries, and cooked squash.

Our poor Nellie just got straight kibble. But I would often add good stuff especially when we started giving her medicine. Her favorite topping by far when when I added turkey soup to her food. This was taken three days before she died, lying there waiting for soup on Christmas day. I will really be missing her this holiday season.

The Little Princesses

And we have come to the last Bella of the month. She's a very shy 8 year old Fox Terrier mix. She came from an abusive situation and cowers a lot when approached. We gave her space and slowly she came around and became so much fun to play with. Sometimes two dogs can either be double trouble or twice as fun. We got lucky! Oh, and this was the family that after our meeting, did not book right away. They were supposed to see another sitter but that person rescheduled. So although it took her a few weeks, she did book it. Plus, within an hour of picking them up she gave me a 5 star review! That taught me not to judge the outcome of a meeting prematurely.

Gigi is an almost two year old Chug (Chihuahua/Pug mix). She's the tiniest licorice drop and smaller than the fat cat I'm taking care of. She had so much energy and loved to race around the house and chase Bella. We really got paid to be entertained!

Last Thursday I had my dentist appointment to have an implant screwed into my jawbone. Nice visual huh? It wasn't pleasant by any means and it didn't help that I watched YouTube videos afterwards of how the procedure is done. I felt no pain but the sounds....ugh. The next day I felt pretty good but by the weekend I was very uncomfortable and took plenty of pain meds.

And one last thing. What the Hell is this??? Just a few weeks ago I was out and about without a jacket and now......just yuck!

After our last dog left on a Sunday morning, we decided to take a walk in some fall colors. Hangman creek isn't very far, on the way to my Mom's actually. I took these pictures on my way to her house one day.

It's not a very large area down below and a real easy walk. You can either enter from this point and go downhill or drive around to a park and make it easier. Guess which way we went?

It's kind of loud with the freeway and train traffic and there's a lot of garbage strewn about. We saw evidence of parties and sleeping camps. My worst fear is to find a body someday. Don't I make that sound inviting? It's still a nice outing to take in some fresh air and fall colors.

kdenhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1262885907379576453.post-22568595109784435532017-10-23T03:00:00.000-07:002017-10-23T03:00:22.398-07:00Bella #3This little girl snuck in amongst all the other Bellas this month. And we still have one more to go. Her family contacted me kind of last minute and I had room so after a quick meeting, she was booked for the next day.

She's a Tibetan Terrier which isn't a Terrier at all. They were born in Tibet and bred in lamaseries (monastery of lamas) to keep them company, as well as companions to nomadic herdsmen. Their fur can grow to the ground but this girl has hers quite short. I would keep it short too; that's a lot of grooming! They were never sold but rather given as gifts for favors. Another thing I love about this job is learning about breeds I have never heard of before.

She was fun but very ball obsessed, we had to hide it often just so she would do something else. But she was always searching.....

Another thing I've never heard of is an Atmospheric River. But apparently that's what we have looming in the Pacific ocean, 5000 miles long, spanning from Asia to the U.S. It's been dumping water on the entire coast and feet of snow in the Cascades. Atmospheric rivers transport up to half of the West Coast's precipitation each year during the rainy season, from October to April. A single atmospheric river can carry more water than the earth's largest river, the Amazon. We did get our share of rain and wind but it didn't seem any different from our usual wet fall.

Since I did my 10 day sit and walking twice a day, I was interesting in getting a FitBit type watch. After checking the prices, I sought used ones on the FB marketplace. I almost had one but it fell through so then I went online and searched. I had no idea there were so many different brands much cheaper than a FitBit, even a used one. The instructions are not great, written with bad english. One part regarding the sleeping function says, "we suggest you connect your app and smart bracelet when you gonna sleep." I've pretty much had to figure out things on my own but it does what I want and it's interesting to see how many steps I've taken in a day. I'm not even near the 10,000 steps suggested but it does make me strive to do more.

I'm a week in of doing twice a day drop-ins for a cat, for an entire month. I've watched Garfield before but this is a long time to be alone. His owner went to New Zealand and it sounds exciting but I sure wouldn't want to be away that long. It took him a few days to come around to the realization that I was all he will have for awhile. He's an old fat cat and mostly sleeps, eats, and goes outside for short spells. When he's willing, I get on the floor and pet him until his motor gets going.

Yesterday was Hubby's birthday so we went for a nice hike after the rain stopped. If my pics turn out I might put them up next week.

She's a miniature Schnauzer, about 8 years old. When she first got here and her owner left, she started whining and howling. I was wondering what I got myself into with this one. So I grabbed a leash and took her for a walk. After that she was fine. She greeted my husband big time even though they didn't meet earlier. She's a pretty happy dog that gets excited by just about anything, but her favorite thing to do is just sit on our laps and sleep. That's easy, we can do that.

I had a dental checkup last week and although another tooth is cracked and causing some pain, we decided to go ahead and do the one implant he has been bugging me about for a year. That means I will also have to have a crown on the tooth above the implant because it has shifted downward. I wish I had married a dentist.

I had quite a scare when I went to my Mom's last Friday. I usually arrive at 9:30 and she has coffee on, TV on, and has finished one of her breathing treatments. First, the door is locked so I let myself in. It's all dark and quiet in the house and her bedroom door is shut. My biggest fear is coming in to find her passed away in her bed. I put my stuff down and peeked in her room. Thankfully I saw her moving so I said 'Good Morning!' She said 'Oh God, I just woke up!' She was pretty embarrassed but as long as she was fine, we had a good laugh about it.

Yesterday was so nice that we got a lot done outside. Yard swing put away, glass totems put under cover, solar lights put away, and trees/bushes trimmed. Our yard might be ready for winter but I'm sure not.

Other than sitting away from home I still had to work for my Mom. I had to be home by 7:00 one morning to greet the shy boarder that my daughter and my husband would be taking care of. Even after going back I kept in touch with them to see how she was doing and let The Kid update the parents on her stay. They did a real good job getting little Bella from staying in her crate shaking to actually sitting on a lap.

Shy little Bella

The next day I went back home again for a meet & greet with two dogs from the same family. For some reason they did not book though. They had another meet so that sitter must have met their needs better. I get it, but it still makes me sad.

At one point the times I was letting Sasha run around the yard (behind a gated fence that I'm not even sure I should let her into) I found two holes that she had dug while I went inside. I patched one pretty good and felt alright about it, until I found the other one. I had to take dirt from the garden to fill it up because she had flung dirt so far. Now I still let her in there to run around, but will not leave her alone. Dogs can be so sneaky!

Thursday evening her owner called and said his Mom, in Montana, was in the ER and not likely to make it. At that time they were still debating on what to do since they were on the Oregon coast. For some reason I thought I better start cleaning and semi-packing in case they came home. Sure enough, the next morning he called and said they drove all night and will be there in 30 minutes. I scrambled so fast to clean what I could. They arrived, brought some things in, and left again in separate cars for another 5 hours of driving as his Mom was hanging in there. The wife made it home early enough last night and it felt so good to be back in my own bed. Now I just need to get geared up for my 21 day stay at the same place after Thanksgiving.

Sasha

Here I am pet sitting about 10 miles away from home. It's the same place I stayed at earlier this year, my first sitting gig. They're going to the Oregon coast for 10 days; I wonder if they would notice a stow-away. But then their pets would die and I don't suppose they would like that. They're taking a cruise at the end of November for 20 days, but some of the places they are going were affected by the hurricanes. It's going to be a long stay but some real nice $$$, so I hope they still get to go.

I'm going to make more short trips home so I won't get so burned out. Just a couple hours here and there will really help.

I can't believe how much stuff I have to pack! This box is just food and there is a bag full of fresh fruits and vegis also. The pet sitter's survival kit (bottle of wine) is at the bottom somewhere.

Yes, pork rinds and salad. The ultimate oxymoron

Last week we had a repeat of Lola, the Goldendoodle. I admit, we weren't too excited when her family booked but we told ourselves "It's only two nights."

We were pleasantly surprised that she has matured quite a bit. We didn't have to use the tie-out cable outside, she was free to run wherever she wanted. She still isn't walkable on a leash but I will take better behavior over walking any day. She's still a bit sneaky and we had to keep an eye on her kleenex/napkin eating, and sock stealing, but overall she was a lot more fun. We were sad to see her go, especially my husband.

Our daughter started her last quarter of college a few weeks ago. She drives downtown to the park-and-ride to catch the bus to campus, then reverses it on the way home. She's always been good about texting about her leaving/arriving but that was getting to be a bit much for all of her stops. I found the best little tracker app which has eliminated that. She was all for it, and can track me too, ha. I know when she gets to the bus and campus and can also watch her little icon move down the road. If we aren't at any of our programmed stops we can do a quick check in. It's kind of fun really. If we were willing to pay a monthly charge there would be a lot more features but it does what we need and it's only the two of us who have smart phones.

I will be taking Nellie's FB page down soon. I think 9 months is long enough. I'll let my Mom take one more look and then delete it. I get notifications almost every day that it's had a new view and they probably wonder why it's still up. Then FB tells me that she hasn't posted in awhile.....well duh!

OK, one more thing. I didn't mean to make things confusing regarding my sis-in-law and her daughter but I think I did. It really doesn't matter but I still want to get it right. My sis-in-law is cancer free but recovering from her latest surgery for removal of tumor a year ago. Her daughter is the one who was recently diagnosed with cancer in many areas, including the brain. She made her own mistake by saying it was 13 cm when it's really mm. Big difference between .5 of an inch and 5 inches! She's got quite the sense of humor about everything and I love to read her updates. It's not really my story to tell I guess but I had to straighten it out.

We only gave her a few and put the rest in a box. But in that same box were some old things of mine that I had forgotten about.

This old thing was probably the first and only musical toy I had. It might be a bear, but really how could you tell? I loved opening up the back to pull the music box out and watch it work. It still plays music but very S L O W L Y.

This ugly thing is at least 62 years old. My cousin had one and my older brother fell in love with it when he was about 2. My Grandma searched around and bought one almost identical for him. Eventually our cousin had tired of her monkey so we ended up with both. One sat too close to a heater and burned the back of it's head. My Mom repaired it by sewing a baseball cap on but it eventually went bye-bye. The Kid even played with it when she was young but she called it Bucky because she couldn't say Monkey. There is nothing cute or cuddly about this guy but I will still hang onto it.

My older bro, our cousin, and Mom. Oh, and ugly monkey

Older bro and I and second ugly monkey

We had one baseball glove to share between three kids. The oldest is a lefty so he could take full advantage of a lefty glove. It was a little harder for the younger two. No wonder I wasn't very good at baseball. Catch, remove glove, throw, put glove back on, repeat. I made The Kid play baseball one summer, she absolutely hated it. Maybe we can blame the glove?

My Grandfather made this game and there are handwritten instructions to go along with it. The 'players' were made of tiny wooden pegs with eraser tops. You rolled one die to move the players. They named the game Hootie but I don't know if it was totally made up or modeled after another game. The instructions are hard to follow but it sounds somewhat like the game Sorry. We should try to play it sometime.

So I showed you all the old toys and memories in my closet, show me yours!kdenhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1262885907379576453.post-48570168868479642622017-09-18T03:00:00.000-07:002017-09-18T03:00:23.099-07:00The Sad And StrangeMy sister-in-law had her surgery last week, the doctor said they fixed all of the prior surgeries....whatever that means.

Her daughter got the results from her scan, and yes indeed the cancer is also in her brain. Three lesions in all with the largest at 13 cm (about 5 inches) Holy Shit is all I can say. Treatment has been mostly laid out but she will be seeking a second opinion.

You may have heard of the most recent school shooting in the country. It was a high school about 40 miles from our city. One boy dead, 3 injured. The shooter claims he was bullied. The boy that was killed was thought to be one of the bullies. Although the shooter said he wasn't targeting anyone in particular he wanted to teach everyone a lesson about school bullying. There were signs this could happen. He had been in school counseling, he had left a suicide note for his parents a week prior. He had passed around notes at school warning them of something big coming down. Some students told officials. Nobody seemed to move on anything, or at least fast enough.

OK, let's move on to the strange, or at least a bit confusing. On FB the other day I was talking about our prolific garden and a long time friend asked if I had any zucchini she could have. I said yes and she said she would be right over. I have known this woman since our daughter was little, as she was a cook in her daycare. She moved on but we occasionally had lunch and kept in touch. She moved out of state then back, and always claimed how much she missed me. I always replied that we could get together anytime. Nothing. We did run into her at a grocery store in the last year and she about hugged the air right outta me! So when I knew she was coming over I told everyone to straighten up the house a bit so she could sit and visit.

She came in, said hi to all of us, gathered up the zucchini and left. We chatted on the way out to her car but the whole visit was less than five minutes. It really made me laugh that someone who claims to miss me, couldn't get away fast enough.

And then there's this. My husband was weeding and trimming back Iris's in the back yard behind the fence. It's kind of a forgotten area but he eventually cuts them back. He was using the big long blade loppers and couldn't cut through them. He thought the stems were unusually tough. After trying again, he pulls this out of the middle of the bunch of Irises.

It had been there for maybe a year and was rusty (I hope it was rust), and very sharp. I cleaned it up and put it in the basement for a time that we need to hack through something. I showed this picture to my mom and she showed me a big hunting type knife she had found in a restaurant booth years ago. It was so heavy and I asked her how she could even lift it to protect herself. She replied as any 86 year old mother of mine would, "As long as I can lift it high enough to get them in the balls, then I'm good."

Now to cheer you up with a picture of Sadie and I after a hike. This is her third time with us and her energy keeps us going, whether we want to or not.

Almost two years to the day we were again covered in choking smoke; but not quite as bad as then. We flirted with a 302 (hazardous level) briefly before settling into the 250-270 range. I wish we could trade other states for some water. Such destruction all around.

No eclipse glasses needed, near sunset

Sun peeking through the tree (sorta)

gasp

The garden still needed picking though, so The Kid and I went out and moved fast to gather what we could. I think we made quite a haul!

By yesterday we were able to open the doors for fresh air and put clothes on the line to dry. The Kid and I also took a walk above the river and enjoyed the day. All too often we take the little things for granted and I realized how lucky we are to live in the Pacific Northwest.

Sometimes in life there is either too much or not enough of a good thing. We all know the perils of too much water in Texas while we (and other areas) sit for months without a drop of rain, surrounded by wildfires. Switch lanes to avoid hazards.

Our garden has gone nuts over-producing. It started right before we went on vacation. You can't tell you garden to hold off while your gone; it just keeps right on going. We have given a lot to a nearby church to distribute to the community. We found out that our main food bank does not bother with small garden fare, only large truckloads. We've been drying tomatoes like crazy and made sauce over the weekend. I'm using recipes that make use of cucumbers and zucchini. Everyone who picks up their dog, gets vegetables snuck into their bags. Speed up to keep up with the flow.

The couple that had me sit for them when I first started, has called on me again for two separate gigs. One of them is 20 days long. They actually planned their trips before/after holidays because I told them I preferred not to work over them. After those dates were settled, the woman that has the farm asked me to sit those exact same days. I was pretty bummed to have to say no because I've been missing her pups. Stop at the next rest area.

And this...this is the worst. My sister-in-law had surgery to hopefully fix two leaks in her intestines. It looks like it didn't work and she will have to go in again. A short time after her surgery her daughter informed her that she also has cancer; stage 4 of the lungs, as well as in the hip, spine, and left clavicle. They need to scan the brain to see if it's traveled there. The only way they found it was because she went to the doctor finally to address her hip pain. She's done physical therapy and massage as it's been in pain for well over a year. They think it started in the lungs and traveled elsewhere. It will take awhile before she can start any treatment until all tests are done. She's only 44. We've only met her once, but still she's family. We've donated to her GoFundMe page and joined CaringBridge to follow her progress. My Mom is so worried sick about both of them, which doesn't help her own health problems. Then I get all stressed out listening to her. Slam on the brakes please!

So my brother's traveling has been put on hold, they're currently parked in a friend's driveway. Her daughter is across state so that will probably be their next trip when they are able. Speed bumps ahead.

I try to drive down the middle of the road to avoid all these conflicts but like everyone else I find myself swerving left and right trying to dodge the potholes just to get to my destination.

Not having a need before, I sure do now. We used our GPS so much on vacation I don't know how we traveled before without one. Oh yea, we used those paper foldy things called maps. On our way home we were finally out of several construction stops along White Pass and now humming along 1-90 when traffic came to a halt. GPS said there was an accident ahead with a 5 minute delay, which became longer and longer. Then we checked one of our local news stations and found out it was a terrible semi/truck accident (and 2 other vehicles) which was caused by low visibility due to a fire, and now the freeway was closed. We were right by an exit and some guy rapped on our window and told us to take it. Along with many other people we were gathered at a convenience store off the exit. Again, GPS told us of an alternate route to go around the accident and again we were moving.

While on vacation I was able to book two dogs while hiking. One was a regular, one was new that only needed one night. Just hours after we got home I was doing a meet and greet and Ivey came the next day. A one year old Chocolate Lab/Pitbull mix. She's friendly, very playful and we thought we had played her out enough to sleep. She sleeps with her owner so we expected her to sleep with one of us. She tried all of us out until 1:00 am! Back and forth, up and down. I finally picked all the toys up, turned out all porch lights and slept on the couch with her on the floor beside me. We were definitely dragging all day Saturday.

Oh and speaking of technology, it's only as good as the dummy who inputs the information. I started bill pay through our credit union a few months ago. On our water bill I messed up the last digit. For two months I was paying someone else's bill. I thought something was strange when I got the second one and it clearly showed the first one had not been paid. Can you guess who's bill I was paying? That would be our neighbor Curtis; yep, that guy. He called and thanked me for paying his bill and said that he had called and fixed it. He thought it was utility company's mistake, when it was mine all along. I then had to message customer service and ask them to correct the first bill too, which Curtis had not noticed. How embarrassing! At least he called so it didn't go on until I received a shut off notice for non-payment.

They had to cancel though, but the next day I got a last minute request for two dogs from the same family. They came over for meeting Friday night, then she dropped them off Saturday morning.

Since they were only here one night, I didn't get too many pictures. The spotted one is a Catahoula Cur who is obsessed with balls. She had no problem with being left as long as she had her ball. She wasn't annoying like another boarder who I assume is part Catahoula too. At least Cooper was loving and friendly.

This shy girl is Ava, a hound mix rescue from a breeder who abused her and after she escaped, was found and spayed, didn't want her back. She was very skittish, and jumped at strange sounds, which were just about every sound in our house. They were real good though and it would be nice to have them back.

We left town last Wednesday and hopefully have some nice sights and stories for you to follow on my photography blog here, Pictorial Soul.

That's it for now, be back soon.

Day one they are anxious and stressed even if they don't really act like it. Some whine, pace, bark, or keep their distance which is totally understandable. Many times too, that's when a new dog will pee inside. Sigh.

But by day two, their true personality starts to come out. Sometimes it's a good thing as they are becoming more comfortable and playful. But most times, they behave like bad toddlers.

First case in point. This is Winnie, she's just so cute isn't she? She's a 3 year old Lhasa Apso. Her family has only had her for about 2 months and said that in the evening she becomes cranky and demanding, kind of like an older person with 'Sun-downers'. We didn't see that although she did keep to herself kind of by the legs of the dining room table. She wasn't interested in joining the family or sitting on a lap. But by day two she became the 'sneaky one', and very mischievous. I don't like to put the little ones on the tie out cable but we had to resort to it a few times.

She would chase the birds, and antagonize the dogs next door. They don't need any help in the barking department but I don't like my boarders to goad them. And then when we were outside (One of us is always with a dog), she was barking at someone and ran to the back gate. I couldn't see her but heard the gate banging. I got up just in time to see her halfway under the gate. It's crooked and one side is higher than the other, making it easy for a little escape artist to crawl under. You should have seen this chubby little lady run! I yelled at her and grabbed her little butt right before she was gone. That could have been so catastrophic! I placed some large rocks under the gap and hitched her up to the cable when the other dogs were out. Thankfully she went home the next day. But the owners loved us so much, they will be returning. And I will be ready for her.

Our next guests were two dogs from the same family. Hailey is a 2 year old Boxer/Rhodesian Ridgeback and Bruce is a 11 year old Chihuahua mix. Bruce is really well behaved and Hailey, well she's still a wild and crazy pup. Day one was pretty good. Then for some reason the next day Hailey started barking at my husband whenever he came through a door. Whether we were out and he was coming out to join us or visa versa. Once he sat down, she was loving all over him. The owners said that she used to do that when she was younger so it's either she is trying to protect us or she is trying to be Alpha female over him. It was unsettling though so I pretty much stopped it by getting in between them and playing Alpha female over her.

I also had two meet&greets while they were here and we had to do a lot of shuffling in and out of the house so I could spend time one-on-one with the new dog. I've really earned my money this week!

Firstly, The Kid turned 22 on the 1st. She had a pretty exciting day. For any of you that like Zombie shows (not me), Z Nation is filmed here in Spokane, and they are currently filming season 4. We have a neighbor who does set building for North By Northwest film productions and is currently working on Z Nation. My husband asked if they could get a tour of one of the places they film at, and he took them personally. They do some filming at a local museum which they had already seen, and another location is an abandoned Kaiser Aluminum plant. They got to tour mostly behind the scenes places, saw some people getting makeup, trailers of the stars and the catering truck, ha. She didn't get any pictures, although I would have taken some. They didn't get to see any filming but she enjoyed it anyway. That night we made fish tacos and homemade ice cream to go with cake.

On the 16th we will be heading out for vacation. I hope it's cooler on the coast because this 90's into 100 degrees is making me one hot sweaty miserable mess. When we planned our trip we didn't know we would be almost in the direct path of the solar eclipse on the 21st. Rockaway Beach will be at 99.1% totality and start at 9:05 in the morning. All we have to do is basically walk across the street to the beach and have a seat. We've got our special glasses already packed. I don't remember the one in 1979 and probably won't be around for the next one, so this will be pretty exciting....unless typical coastal morning fog covers everything up.

I've been battling a headache/teeth pain for the past 6 weeks. Every single day! I finally went to my doctor who told me to use Flonase and gave me some antibiotics. Neither has helped greatly except the headache might be a bit better. It started before I had my last crown put on so I don't know what in the heck is going on. I just know I'm in a lot of pain and have to hit the Advil bottle at least every 4-6 hours, even during the night.

My Brother and his wife put their house up for sale, and it sold in a week. No turning back now. Right now they're on the Oregon coast but need to be back soon for appointments, then who knows where they will be going. I still don't get it though.

I finally got all the ingredients I needed to make authentic movie popcorn. The oil they use is butter flavored coconut oil and Flavacol, which is the butter flavored salt. What a difference, it was fantastic!

Since it's been so hot I've been using my slow cooker a lot. We've had shredded pork, chicken and dumplings and this weekend I made crock pot lasagna. This is not diet food.

Have you watched the new show, Live PD yet? It's sort of like the old Cops show, but live. Spokane is featured as one of the 6 counties. I thought it was kind of cheesy because our city is quite boring, until I saw one recently which involved in a very intense police chase. The driver had led them on a previous chase before and as they were attempting to pull him over again the other day, he took off. They knew who he was, wanted in the burglary and assault of a former Deadliest Catch fisherman. This guy sped through town, avoiding spike strips, bobbing and weaving with so much skill, not one car was hit. An officer and K-9 Gunner (who barked the whole time) stayed on his tail and as he entered Idaho, an officer rammed his car and Gunner took him down. I think the host, Dan Abrams was impressed! I would like to know where the cops were when I had two solar lights taken out of our backyard the other night though. One was a red rose, a gift to my Mom, and she gave it to me.

I guess that's enough excitement for one week, doggies will be back next Monday.

But here I am, six months in having the best time I have had in a long time. I make my own hours and get paid for playing with or walking dogs or just sitting around, which I'm really good at! I even have staff (unpaid, the best kind).

I have watched 25 animals in all (four being cats) with 5 repeat clients. I have 18 5-star reviews and rank #1 for boarding in my city and zip code. There are separate ranking for the other services a sitter offers, but since I do boarding the most, that's what I go by. The algorithm works kind of strange, so I'm trying not to get a big head over it.

There isn't any one dog I would NOT watch again, but there are a few I'm not too crazy about. I wish I was making more money but that's my choice to only watch one at a time. If you break it down to a 24 hour period, I'm making about a dollar an hour. Clients really like that their dog has my undivided attention and I think if I watched more, it would be less fun and more work. And we wouldn't want that!

I'm having to start turning people away into October because I'm already booked. It's a good thing but I feel bad, especially with previous clients. They liked what I offered and they want to come back but can't. I just want to take them all. Thanksgiving week is full with 2 dogs from the same family at holiday pay. Nice!

So far, so good then and I hope in another 6 months I will still be loving it.

We are five days in of a full week watching this sweet little Flower. When I first heard her name I knew she was going to be great. She's a 6 and-a-half year old Boxer mix. I've never known such a chill dog. One that doesn't bark at every little sound. One that doesn't jump up and follow you to every room. One that just goes to sleep at night when we do. One that will eat her dinner without bribery or adding yummy stuff to it. One that walks so good with my husband that I may get out of walking her the entire stay (we took turns, really). I told the owner that hubby has a new rule; no other dog can stay unless they are like her, ha.

A few little oddities she has is chewing the pads of her feet, a nervous habit. And she barks in her sleep which scared the crap out of me the first night.

She was another good candidate to take to my Mom's so she spent one whole day there with me. All she did was sleep and eat some treats. Mom even took a picture of her with her IPad, it made me laugh.

She was just an all around super dog to have around and no work at all; just an extension of our family.

It was my first encounter......ever, with any of the Bully breeds. I've seen them from a distance which was fine with me. I've never had a bad experience with one, just really didn't want to have anything to do with them. But I'm willing to try anything once!

The owner brought her by to meet us. She's only a year and-a-half old and he is the third owner in her short life. One owner didn't treat her very well so when he found her in Las Vegas he brought her home. He's very protective of her and she has separation anxiety so he was kind of hesitant in leaving her anywhere. He actually reached me by accident, as a family member had referred him somewhere else on Rover but he messed up.

He was satisfied that we would be a good fit and he brought her by Thursday morning. Angel whined a lot off and on so we just kept her distracted with a walk, toys, treats and a bit of wrestling. She's really strong and got amped up easily so that was kept to a minimum. Her bark was very loud and present at just about every sound she heard or when she got excited. She also gave the best full facial licks ever! She wasn't great on a leash, but not the worst either so I didn't mind walking her.

Even though it was just a two day stay we were pretty tired when she left. I think now that we know what she's like, we would watch her again though. The first time always seems the hardest with learning curves and getting to know their personalities. Her owner missed her so much, he came early for her. He seemed pretty satisfied with her care which made me feel good (and gave me a 5-star review). I'm also feeling pretty proud that I went out of my comfort zone to watch a dog breed that I had always had some fear of. I mean really, look at that goofy girl!

Run for your life turtle, you're next!!!

Our latest dog was the many-time repeater Sadie. Other than that, I've had bookings, cancellations, and general annoyances which left gaps in my calendar.

So I decided we should take advantage of the down time and get some cleaning done. Cleaning out that is. Since The Kid moved out of her apartment, we needed more space to put those things that she will need some day. I told her no more storing of crap in my bedroom because I got to that room first. Moved all furniture, vacuumed and cleaned the carpet. We've been going through closets, cupboards, and all corners. We've taken at least 10 boxes to charity so far, and a box of children's books to a crisis nursery center.

We had a great time going down memory lane with boxes of pictures of when The Kid was a baby and all the daycare and school things I saved. I was going to give it all to her someday when she moved out but I'm glad we did it this way.

Third grade paper hat

I made some great scrapbooks when she was small as well as videos so we had no need to keep the thousands of snapshots. We each kept out our favorites, especially the ones with long gone cats and Nellie.

Two cats and a baby

This picture too, I will always save. It was the last picture of my Dad before he died. It was taken in July of 1983, a month before I got married (they couldn't go) and the next month he was gone. That's him, me, my Mom and her Mom. My nephew in the front is now 39. Wow!

It was a great way to spend time inside during 100 degree weather, sharing tons of memories and lots of laughs.

My Husband's youngest son called to wish him happy Father's Day. As they're chatting my Husband asked him what he was doing. His reply was, "moving." The house they left was brand new when they moved in 3 years ago. So why move? Because when his wife's parents are there to visit, the house is too small. 2300 sq. feet is too small for 4 people? I can really tell who wears the pants in this family. Her parents live in China and I can't imagine them visiting that much to warrant buying a bigger house. We've been invited once; and remember, this is the daughter-in-law that we are not allowed to hug. We haven't seen them for over a year and that was only for dinner when they came into town.

For now, they are going to rent the house instead of selling, for $2300.00 a month. That's 5x our house payment. We definitely don't travel in the same circles!

My older brother on the other hand did something just as drastic, but instead of moving up, they are scaling down. It's understandable for a early retired couple to want to sell their home and trade their new 5th-wheel in for an RV to travel/live in. He's been wanting to do it for a long time.

The reason this boggles my mind is that his wife is still having issues regarding a very involved

surgery to remove a cancerous tumor in her abdominal area. It's been about a year and she still has to have scans, procedures, occasional hospital stays, and overall feels like crap. Before that, she had a stem cell transplant for Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and all tests show she is cancer free.

She is all for the traveling though and says she can sleep anywhere. But for some reason she has also given herself a 2 year timeline before she dies. I just think it's too risky, to get far away from her doctors. They've tried close weekend trips but had to come back when she didn't feel well. What if there is no place to come back to? I know when I feel crappy I want to be in my own home in my own bed.

Plus, what about our own Mom, who will turn 86 this Thursday. Granted she is doing well, but what if he's days away and something happens to her? I don't like being the one "in charge." I am the next in line as Power Of Attorney but I sure don't want to have to execute anything; isn't that what big brothers are for? Mom even admitted she was a little nervous about him leaving and hope they haven't bitten off more than they can chew.

He being the oldest, has always been the practical one. He has always been quick to give unwanted, unasked for advice. That's why this move seem so unlike him. I know people got to do what they got to do, but it sure boggles my little mind.

kdenhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1262885907379576453.post-73477063851022779482017-06-26T03:00:00.000-07:002017-06-26T03:00:15.185-07:00Good Ol' JakeI was supposed to have a dog for a 10 day stay. That would have been my longest stay for boarding and a good chunk of change for the summer. An out of town daughter of a elderly man in town set up the entire stay for him. He was going to fly to her house and then to California to visit his older sister.

I picked up Big Jake to make it easier for Harold and brought him home. Jake is a 9 year old English Setter who has had to slow down because his owner has Parkinson's and can't take him out much anymore. He's overweight and his toe nails are way too long. I bought some clippers and planned to work a little bit at a time over the 10 days. His toes are turned sideways because of their length and I know his feet must hurt and he walks funny.

But he is so loving and affectionate. He'll put his paw up on your leg and lie his head into your hand as you pet him. Dang, why do we have to fall in love with almost every dog? We got him to chase a ball around the yard a bit and I'd lie on the floor with him and he'd give me the best old dog puppy sighs I've ever heard.

Three days into the stay the daughter messaged me and said her Dad was going home and asked if I could take Jake back. Oh man, how disappointing. I still got paid half for the cancelled days per my policy, but still. He really liked it here and got love x3.

As I pulled into the drive and got Jake out, he stopped, then walked real slow to the door. So slow in fact that there was actually slack in the leash. I almost cried. He didn't show a lot of excitement as we walked in the door, not like he got excited when we would come home. I know he is well loved and cared for, but Old Jakey just doesn't get out to see many people anymore so he really loved the attention we gave him.

A few days later I had a meet & greet and at least I got the weekend full to replace Jake and then they will come back after the 4th.

This is George, and I love him. He's a 5 year-old Border Collie/Lab. He is just the coolest ever and his antics and mannerisms are more like Nellie than any dog we've had. I know I'm starting to sound like a broken record about comparing every dog to her, but George takes the prize winning ribbon for that.

I swear Nellie whispered in his ear and told him about her favorite place to dig, right in-between the Peony bushes. She also told him to trample through the garden to get to the corner of the yard to observe the world. And she told him when he sees a cat while walking to turn into a stone wall that cannot be moved.

We didn't take him anywhere but he did keep us busy with walking and playing. Two walks a day are pretty mandatory and chasing him while he has a toy is too. His idea of 'fetch' is us throwing a ball and then chasing him to get it back. I've played this game before although I am a bit slower at it.

His mom was late picking him up due to flight problems so there were a few hours of overlap with the next guest. They played some which was good; I'm always worried about fighting. Another reason for hosting just one dog.

Toward the end of his stay he was getting a little antsy and I think he was missing his Mom, I know she missed him. I always love to watch the reunion of owner and dog. I know he enjoyed his time here but I'm sure he was ready to go.

I got the popcorn maker cleaned up. It took several SOS pads and hours of scrubbing. The first batch we fed to the birds and then we had ours. I bought some butter flavored oil but we very disappointed. I want the authentic, artery clogging, unhealthy yellow goo they use in the theatres. That will take a little research. But look at that, a popcorn addict's dream come true!

Lo and Behold, today is my Birthday! This picture is when I was a few weeks old. I have pretty much the same disposition.

I know The Kid will be making me a scratch carrot cake and has ordered me something special. She always puts a lot of thought into her gifts. I will probably have to wait until her finals are over for both. It's not like I'm going anywhere, so it's all good.

I went to a rummage sale at the Park where my Mom lives last Friday. As I went out her door she kiddingly told me to look for a birthday present for myself. I just breeze through and don't stay long. I spotted a brand new Himalayan Salt Lamp for 20 bucks. I've been wanting one for a long time and I had them hold it so I could go back to her house to get some money. I think she was surprised that I took her up on the offer; we got a good laugh out of it. It was probably the easiest shopping experience she's ever had! I also spotted a movie style popcorn maker. OMG, I was in heaven! I have been wanting one of those for years. It was pretty dirty but for 5 bucks I'm going to clean that baby up.

After Memorial weekend I had nothing booked except Sadie, then a big blank space until September; that was depressing. All of a sudden I got two requests for long stays; one 8 days and the other 10 days. I had both meet & greets in one day and both booked. So now almost the entire month of June is full and Sadie will be back over the 4th of July. We'll take a little break at the end of June to move the Kid's stuff home from college and then.....who knows?

Sadie is just the sweetest little thing. Since we haven't seen Gracie in a long time, I now proclaim Sadie to be my favorite. She's pretty easy to take care of except for her separation anxiety. She does take an anti-anxiety pill in the morning--Prozac to be exact. The symptoms I mostly see is that she has to have someone around her, or at least in view all the time. In the house this is no problem but if we want to do yard work, she has to be tethered outside with us. If we go out of view she starts barking. It just takes a little extra work, but she's worth it.

I took her to my Mom's this week because she's the likeliest candidate to do that. The bigger ones I have coming up wouldn't work out so well. Mom enjoyed having her and said she could come back any time. That's big praise when my Mom wants a dog back, ha.

Now I need to get back to cleaning that popcorn popper.

First I did, then they cancelled, so we just decided to have a nice family weekend putting up our yard swing, and working on a project.

Saturday morning at 7:00 I got a last minute request for a little cutie named Sadie, just for the night. She's a 7 year old Wire Fox Terrier. I am already booked with her next weekend so we had done our meet and greet earlier in the week. She's really sweet and it wouldn't be a bother at all so of course I said yes.

We did get the swing up as well as the disc golf basket. Sunday morning we headed to the cemetery to put flowers on my Grandma's grave as well as my Step-Dad's (or as my Mom calls it, her future home). The Kid always takes pictures so at least my Mom feels like she's a part of it. Right behind the cemetery is a short little trail and we took Sadie for a walk. We haven't been there for a long time and this is one of my favorite pictures of Nellie ahead of us, leading the way.

This is the biggest accomplishment of the weekend though. Mom gave me this old chair a neighbor had given her. We took the seat out and made a big bowl with screen door mesh. I put several ground cover plants in it as well as a seed pack that came with Nellie's ashes and some morning glory seeds. It's hard to see but there is also an old faucet with a crystal hanging from the spout. The crystal supposedly came from a chandelier from a famous old hotel in town. It looks pretty crappy now but should be better later this summer and even next year.

Even with a dog, it was a nice relaxing weekend and we're looking forward to having her back next week.kdenhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com

With regards to decorating there are few rooms that contain quite the impact of the bathroom or kitchen when being adorned. There is something wonderful about going for a exhausted old bathroom and rendering it appear shiny and shiny once more. A lot of people, however, cringe at the very thought of your bathrooms remodel fearing the total worst as it pertains to their finances once all is said and done. The glad tidings are that small steps can result in big changes in rooms no more than restrooms. These small steps don't need to have large prices to become highly effective.
My recommendation with your bathrooms is to examine where the most severe blemishes and eyesores may be. Painting the wall surfaces can be considered a good destination to start nevertheless, you should first determine whether you've planned to eliminate any cabinetry. That is one room where it is advisable to save the painting for later in the job as opposed to the start. The vanity in many restrooms takes up a great deal of real estate. Vanished are the days and nights when chunky cabinetry were the favorite choice for bath rooms. Now people want the restrooms to really have the appearance of an wide-open space. Which means that cupboards and vanities have become smaller rather than much larger.
Most homeowners realize that removing bulky cabinets in the toilet often brings about some extent of patching necessary for the drywall and visible gaps in floor. These should be addressed rapidly, meaning now is a great time to choose color options for the wall space and floors. Smaller bathrooms prosper with lighter colors on the surfaces in order to provide them a more substantial appearance. Use bath towels and designs to generate darker accents but keep carefully the surfaces light and dazzling. Also choose car paint that can stand up to the high wetness of bathrooms.

Flooring in your bathroom must also have the ability to withstand high temperature and dampness as this room is quite abusive to floor surfaces and walls. Because of this, wood is not the ground of choice for some bathing rooms. Ceramic tile is a fantastic choice rather than terribly expensive. There's also some laminates that can act in response well to a higher humidness environment such as will be within your bathrooms. Choose floors that will highlight the wall space and the entire sense of d?cor you are expecting to attain when designing your home and bathroom, as this isn't something you will want to improve often.
The bathroom in your bathroom is rather simple to get but I would recommend going out of it be unless it absolutely must be changed. This isn't a simple process of the newbie and experts are costly. In cases like this "if it ain't broke don't correct it" is a fantastic motto to reside by. Exactly the same is true with the bathtub. If, however, you just cannot live with your bathtub (or bath tub) as is, you might try hiring pros to come in and resurface your tub. That is significantly less expensive than investing in a brand-new tub and can have yours looking excellent, shiny, and as effective as new. Again you can prevent the high cost of a plumber even though you are spending money on pros to resurface.
To top things off, you'll be impressed at the difference that new knobs, accessories, and hardware can make in your bathrooms. Add a handful of lamps for refined lighting plus some decorative touches of your and you have a whole new bathroom without spending a king's ransom to carry out so. The bathtub drape and 'visitor' bath towels should be your most significant splurges in your bathrooms, as they'll tie the area altogether. You shower drapes and bath towels will mix the colors and designs to be able to create the entire atmosphere you ought to be hoping to attain in your bathrooms. And all this can be achieved one step at the same time no subject how sparse your finances may be.

Which type of NOSE do you have? From the Nubian to the Hawk, expert reveals the top 10 shapes and how the Duchess of Cambridge's 'perfect' snout is behind a rise in cosmetic ops
- Duchess of Cambridge has sparked a boom in rhinoplasty surgery
- Nose job operations have increased by 15 per cent in the last year
- Facial cosmetic surgeon Dr Julian De Silva talks about the 10 most common nose shapes
The Duchess of Cambridge has sparked a boom in cosmetic surgery as record numbers of women - and men - seek to replicate her 'perfect nose'.
There has reportedly been a 15 per cent rise in rhinoplasty operations in the last year as more patients go under the knife to look like their favourite stars.
The most popular nose shape requested by patients is the Duchess - named after the Duchess of Cambridge.
A straight-edged nose, it suits both sexes and, with its 106-degree nasal tip rotation, it is mathematically almost perfect (noses between 104-108 degrees in their orientation are the most beautiful).
A straight-edged nose, 'The Duchess' nose suits both sexes and, with its 106-degree nasal tip rotation, according to Harley Street facial cosmetic surgeon Dr De Silva
The royal has the most copied celebrity nose, followed by Scarlett Johansson, singer Rhianna, Angelia Jolie and Jennifer Lopez.
Harley Street facial cosmetic surgeon Dr Julian De Silva said that the Duchess had inspired many women to improve their appearances with cosmetic surgery.
He said: 'Kate is one of the most beautiful women in the world but it is her nose that both men and women want to replicate.
'It defines her beauty and is one of the reasons why rhinoplasty has never been more popular.
'It is the most common facial plastic procedure but it is also the most sophisticated.
'It is a complex mix of technical detail and artistry as each patient has different facial characteristics which influence a good result such as sex, age, face shape, expectations and the patient's idea of beauty.
'The patient may desperately crave a nose like Kate but I may have to advise that the end result will not suit their face.
'We are normally able to agree a compromise. 'Most patients I see are looking for a natural appearance where they want to look like themselves only better and where it is impossible to tell that they have had surgery.'
Dr De Silva from the Centre for Advanced Facial Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery in Hammersmith, West London, has experienced a 25 per cent rise in procedures following the Brexit vote.
He said: 'We are busier than ever. Harley Street is an international centre for surgery and more patients are coming from overseas for treatment because of the devaluing of sterling.'
This type of nose is considered to be beautiful and striking.
A straight-edged nose, it suits both sexes and is considered by surgeons to be the ideal nose.
People who have this nose are considered to be super creative and very spontaneous.
The most popular nose shape requested by patients is the Duchess - named after the Duchess of Cambridge
Dr De Silva says: This is the Gold Standard of noses and the one I am most often asked to replicate.
It might be this is the perfect nose and cannot be improved. Kate is a very lucky woman.
Again it perfectly straight but has less of a button at the end than the Duchess.
It is often found on models.
Dr De Silva says: The striking characteristic here is the long and elegant bridge.
It is another nose shape that patients ask me to copy - and why not. It is a stunning nose shape.'
The Greek nose is perfectly straight but has less of a button at the end than a Duchess, Dr De Silva explains
This is characterised by a highlighted bridge which can be either curved or bent and a sloping tip - great for men, not so good for women.
Dr De Silva says: A slightly elevated bridge can be attractive and give character to a man's nose.
However this appearance is less flattering on a woman's face and is a common reason that women look to undergo rhinoplasty.
Care is required in these patients to ensure that after rhinoplasty their smaller nose breathes as well as before.
I use a combination of graft tissue and straightening of the septum to ensure breathing as well as appearance is improved after surgery
Ryan Gosling and Tom Cruise both have the classic Roman nose with with a heightened bridge
This is a classic shape but slightly enlarged nostrils.
A nose with a straight profile and a well proportioned tip which is not too small or too large.
Dr De Silva says: This is often requested by male patients as a desirable outcome.
The key with male rhinoplasty is avoiding characteristics that may feminise a patient's appearance including a curved nasal bridge, a small button nose and too much nostrils showing.
The aqualine, as sported here by Daniel Radcliffe, is another desirable shape that is often requested by patients
This is a nose with a widened nasal tip, often out of proportion with the person's face.
Dr De Silva says: A very common reason for patients to seek rhinoplasty is for narrowing and increased definition in their nasal tip.
Angelina Jolie was born with a bulbous tipped nose but she has since had surgery to bring it into proportion with her face - it is an excellent result.
Care is required in rhinoplasty to preserve the natural anatomy of the person's nose to ensure their surgery lasts for the rest of their life.
In the past, too much shaping of a patient's noses resulted in weakness that can require patients to need revision rhinoplasty years later.
'Angelina Jolie was born with a bulbous tipped nose but she has since had surgery to bring it into proportion with her face,' say Dr De Silva
Approximately half of all clients I see are revision patients.'
With huge nostrils and a tip which droops further when the patients smiles, it's no laughing matter.
Dr De Silva says: Prince Philip was a fine looking man in his prime but he has a droopy tip and this is one of the most common reasons for rhinoplasty.
Often when the person smiles, the tip of their nose droops further.
Rhinoplasty can stop this nasal dipping by softening a special muscle that dips your nose when you smile.
Lifting the tip of the nose requires great care by the surgeon, as over-lifting can result in a highly unflattering, piggy-shaped nose.
Less is often more when lifting the nose - to ensure an elegant and natural appearance.
Large nostrils and a tip which droops further when the patients smiles explains where it gets its name from. Dr De Silva says Prince Philip and singer Barbra Streisand are both examples
Its highlighting feature is a dent in the middle of the bridge and a tip that protrudes.
Dr De Silva says: This inward depression of the bridge is called a supratip break in medical terminology - this is classically a more feminine appearing nose and often has a gentle slope.
While this depression on the bridge is considered attractive, too much of a dip can have a 'cute' appearance which some patients do not like and seek to change.
Often men with this type of nose seek rhinoplasty for a straighter bridge and a stronger more masculine appearance.
Carey Mulligan is an example of the upturned nose, the facial plastic surgeon says
A long nose with a base that is wide.
Dr De Silva says: This is a common shape for ethnic patients with wide nostrils.
Patients often request a narrowing of their nose - this requires care to hide scars in the natural creases under the nose and to avoid over-narrowing the nose as this can look unnatural.
Beyonce's nose is an example of the 'Nubian' - a long nose which widens at the bottom
The name says it all.
Hawk noses are characterised by a small bent in the middle of the nose and sharp edges. It is similar in shape to the beak of a hawk.
Dr De Silva says: The hawk nose has a raised middle to lower third of the bridge. In medical terminology, this is called a polybeak.
Generally this appearance is not flattering in men or women, and a smoothing of the nasal bridge with rhinoplasty results in a more attractive profile and greater facial balance.
A hawk nose, seen here on The Pianist actor Adrien Brody, bends over in the middle
A high tip resulting in too much nostril showing when looking ahead and people seeing into the person's nostrils.
Dr De Silva says: This is very difficult to correct.
Lengthening the nose is a complex rhinoplasty procedure because it requires sophisticated grafts and techniques to add extra-length onto the nose.
A piggy nose is characterised by too much nostril showing and is notoriously difficult to correct with surgery

A senior Iranian official announced the country\'s plans to move towards petro-refinery projects to increase the production of benzene and butylene. Iran's National Petrochemical Company is to inaugurate two new petro-refineries in Abadan and Tabriz plants to produce benzene and butylenes, NPC Director for Planning and Development Ramezan Oladi said. "There is the possibility of producing benzene at Tabriz Oil Refinery and butylene at Abadan Oil Refinery," he added. "Currently, the construction and commissioning of oil refineries are less profitable compared to petro-refinery projects," Oladi said, adding, "Countries like China and Saudi Arabia have also moved toward petro-refinery projects." He stated that the National Iranian Oil Refining and Distribution Company (NIORDC) and the country's petrochemical sector have also discussed the projects, which are aimed at integrating Iran's oil refineries and petrochemical complexes to enhance profitability and reduce costs.

Quinta San blas is unbeatably located just a few blocks away from San Blas plaza, a couple of blocks away from the main plaza but away enough from its the bustle and hustle. The hotel is gorgeous...More

He obviously used you to get laid. Now you are crying rape because he doesn't want to be your boyfriend?? Welcome to the real world, Sweetie. Maybe next time, don't give it up so easy. What a sad, twisted person you must be to ruin this mans life because he doesn't want to play house with you. Grow the fuck up, close your legs and move on!!

Lets look at the other side of the coin...right or wrong this guy did what you wanted and now that he swept you aside you want to have him arrested and possibly throw in jail/prison and have a mark against him as some kind of pervert just because your ego is bruised?
Heres a question to ask yourself....would this guy get out of prison and bash your skull in with a ballbat for fucking up his life?

"NASTY HOLE" is more like it.I hope your face gets put on the internet exposing you for the pig you really are.You are only 16 and already a washed up,dried out,never was.And calling the cops wont make your dirty ass clean.

are kids being told the laws about this(or anything else) in school. Personally I don't remember and did not even know what a pedifile was until I was 30.Not all of us have parents or friends that "have or back" you know..

HELLO?!?! This is the most bull sh!t story out there!!! Completely untrue!! This story gets posted all the time on tons of message boards!! And you're all falling for it!!

who cares?
#78 Jul 23, 2013
You are the victim of bad parents!!! You have just stated that you went after him!!! OMG what a sad child!!
#79 Jul 23, 2013
its either some messed up girl, or a pedophile trying to justify what he did. I know of one pedophile whos name has been all over this site that sounds like he would of started this thread. So, hard to say one or other. BOTH wrong either way!

he wouldn't find the door in the morning
When he found that bed so easily in the dark
lift your head and move on girl, you made a mistake. Don't make the same mistake again. You can't use sex to get a man, they can get that from anyone. Be special.

I did it, he got arrested!! He got what he deserved! He raped me period and now he'll pay forever!!

yeah and revenge can also be a mf

Now we can send your retard rants on here to the DA's office so you can be exposed for the little trashbag you really are.
#86 Jul 25, 2013
What I am saying does not matter. The only think that matters is slept with a minor. Whether I planned it or he did not know i was a minor is irrelevant. He is responsible to know my age and to reject my advances. Send whatever you like to the DA I guarantee he will be on the sex list soon. He is a child rapist

This may be true but no matter what you say or do,at the end of the day,you are still a scumbag pig.

points this thread out to his lawyer :)
#92 Mar 21, 2014
Are you f'ing kidding me? You're awful for even thinking like this. You're butt hurt because he didn't call you so you're going to ruin his life? You imbecile. I hope the police catch you lying. Little hooch.. It was totally your choice & you know it, get mature.
