Cass, i'm there with you, but re my 14 yo sisterlet. Her mom tried bribing her with a cell phone: get all As and Bs and it stays turned on, drop below that and it gets turned off. So NOT WORKING and causing constant ongoing misery for everyone involved. The girl is brilliant and could teach the Leverage characters a few things about manipulation, but she just will not sit down and do homework. I send letters, and am told that they are read and occasionally pondered upon, but no one in the family has figured out what logic (or carrot) will actually appeal to her.
I have no helpful suggestions, just sympathy and company on the bench.
Steph, my vet and I talked about getting Frank diapers in the last year or so of his life when he was pooping on the floor pretty much every day. He suggested going with regular toddler-sized diapers and cutting out a spot for his tail because the diapers made specifically for dogs were more expensive. Anyway, I decided that cleaning him up after wearing the diaper would be more work than cleaning up the floor so we never used them. (Also he fell down the hardwood stairs a number of times. Always very traumatic for us but he was never hurt.)
Yeah, I know I am totally being judge-y and harsh and that fourteen year olds are mysterious and freaking hard to motivate. Plus he sees people get away with stuff with little to no apparent problem. I just want him to not screw his whole life up because he's pissed. And he's so much nearer the edge of that than anyone wants to admit.
So I am frustrated.
I made dinner. A nice grilled chicken breast and some broccoli. Overcooked the broccoli, but otherwise, it was delish.
turn the fan on so the kitchen doesn't stink
cut the chicken open check the middle is it pink?
I tried looking into the eating for your blood type thing, mostly for entertainment purposes. Success! As a type O, someone out there thinks i should be eating lots of meat and almost no grains, no lentils, no kidney beans, no peanut products, no strawberries, no avocado...the list of "avoid" foods reads like my grocery list. This vegetarian was almost keeling over with laughter.
No avocado? That's cruelty!

I'm a Type O, and the blood-type thing "avoid" list is... pretty much all the foods I don't like + the foods I have bad reactions to. Therefore, I like that diet!
Thank heavens Chloe is ok. Damn. I hate scares like that. I hate them more for your sake, Teppy and Tim.
I wanna scream at this abuse of the English language - using take in place of give. Likewise borrow in place of lend. I've just seen two examples of this in less than a minute on Yahoo!Answers. I mean seriously. Who "takes a cat his shots"?
