Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

#2 milk date, chamption sniffer and sniff-recruiter here: "does this smell okay to you?" I draw the line at "taste this--it's awful!" though.

Oh, that's a wonderful looking doggie--and a pretty human he's with!

Nora, Marley is great! Anne's Jeeves is a wonderful example of a gentleman ornjboy, as is our Punkin, who moved in on us from a neglectful neighbor. TC still takes exception to his existence, so one is the upstairs kitty and the other is the downstairs kitty, and they both are very happy. I'm sure though, since almost any cat is less neurotic than TC, that Marley will integrate fine with Taz.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

The adorableness of Gris, Girl and dog is amazing.

Marley looks like a great cat. In a few pictures, he has a Garfield-like leer.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Marley looks lovely -- and that scratch pad is his!

Dog, girl....very pretty.

I think you have to know yourself well before you can get a dog. My sister has two eskies. the boy has calmed down quite a bit, but the girl is still very excitable. They bark a lot. Despite the fact that they go to doggie day care a couple times a week, I still think they could use a good walk almost every day. Which was the original plan. I think my sister would have been better off with dogs that were a little more mellow. Of course naming them Luna and Loki, was asking for it.

DH is not a dog person. Overtime I have convinced him that 90% of the dog problems are owner problems. Dogs are work.

A week after use by, 2 weeks after use by -- unless something has been opened for a while then I toss quicker.

Restaurant meals only get about 24 hours ( too much without refrigeration)

My left overs get a week or so depends how easy it is to thoroughly heat them

Milk Date Controversy

I will swim against the tide and tell you that I totally dump it when it reaches the sell by date. I am not a big fan of milk anyway, and the thought of accidentally getting icky milk makes me insane. I am also one of those "milk always smells sour" people, so sniffing it doesn't help. Yeah, I know it's rather nutty.

Nora, Marley is v. pretty. Yay for new kitties!

Also enjoying the Gris and girl talk.

GC is me in this.

New kitty! Doggie! Pretty girl!

Oh, my Marley is such a love! I am crazy about him. (I'm hanging out in the spare room with him right now, he's lying down all comfy right by me)

I feel bad about being away all day tomorrow and leaving Marley alone in the room.

I expected way more people to be automatic dumpers, to tell you the truth. All y'all are skewing much differently than my RL sample.

Hey. New board.

I'm having a slow day. I successfully cleaned my apartment, but it took me about 4.5 hours. Now I'm on my bed, trying to convince myself to eat something and grade papers.

I'll do it. I'm not avoiding. I'm just... slow.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

One thing that I heard (though I don't remember where) is that milk smells and tastes bad before it will actually make you sick, which made me completely comfortable to be a sniffer.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I'll give it a few days after the sell-by date. I'm a sniffer. Unless it's butter milk. I can never tell so I just dump that on the sell-by date.
