While you stitch - who's watching the Olympics

It only made it into foods using filler of some sort. Just because you pay more for it, that doesn't make it better for the dog.

Yup. Or at least a kibble using fresh meats and veggies but no by-products.

Elizabeth

Us, too. We only use the stuff with no fillers, beaks/hooves, etc.

You're making me feel worse - LOL I have been semi-boycotting the local Shaws; I'll only go in for things I can't get elsewhere and won't be near the Derry store soon. ( their help is rude in the extreme)

I do have Trader Joes and I get a huge range of things there. Their rice bowls and some of the Mexican frozen meals are low fat and sodium.

It's farm stand and farmers market time, so I'm getting produce there.

I saw it this morning and thought nearly exactly the same thing. The disappointment expressed, plus my fear of an accident with gymnastics, made me very uncomfortable.

Since my good friend's son had an accident falling off a springboard while teaching gymnastics, wound up as a sip and puff quadriplegic, and lived 30+ years in a wheelchair, I lost my enjoyment of it.

Gee, I've never been close enough to notice !!!

At least one of them was advertised as no fillers - Dakota's Dad was buying one of them. You had to really read the fine print to find the fillers (it was part of "corn nuggets" or some such crap.)

Amen - Works for people too.

Lucille, I so sorry to hear that.

Cheryl

Me too--only the best for Prince Puff.

Problem is, people don't donate because they *know* the money never ends up in the hands of those who need it! Somehow it always has to go through "government" and mysteriously disappears. If we could be assured that the money/food/supplies would end up where they're actually needed, they'd have better results.

Corn makes Harry itch, so I do tend to read the fine print. Am very lucky that I had an excellent kibble recommended to me by my breeder and that my local feed store can order it.

In Canada they stress our athletes out with the assumption this one and that one will get gold. Then they wonder what happens when they don't. Getting should be an achievement in itself, I certainly do not regard them as 'failures' - sigh--

I had full knee replacement so the artrho opening was not an option. I did have arthro last year to buy me time, but eventually I had to get the knee repaired or I couldn't get up or down or on or off the toilet; the little things in life!

They do not care about bad publicity. They thrive on it.

His is not a name I recall, we were the first civilians into Japan after the war. My father was there until he retired in 1963, at which time the Emperor decorated him with an honour never previously given to a foreigner and stated that "Nobody has done more to enable Japan to get to her feet since the war" amongst other compliments that embarrassed my father. Don't know this Demming chappie though.

Not for nothing, but the money the Chinese have is American money so they wouldn't say anything. They probably laugh it up.

That's not true because, unlike here, when something like that happens, head roll. Here the buck gets passed around as usual.

They are beaten into submission and forced. If they don't do their business they are flogged, sometimes to death.

He is trying to protect the culture of Tibet. The Tibetans count on him to do this. Tibetan culture is very different than any other culture. One interview does not make one informed. I have been not just a Buddhist for a long time, but a rational thinker and have observed this ongoing debacle in Tibet for half my life. I am in close contact with nuns and monks who have been imprisoned for having a photo of His Holiness. He is not a separatist. He wants to be a citizen of the People's Republic of China and feels it would greatly benefit the Tibetan people where education and transportation is concerned. Economically it would benefit the Tibetans, etc. So I don't know what interview you saw which gave you the impression he is fomenting the Tibet issue, but there would be no "Tibet issue" without Chinese attack and occupation fifty years ago.

Tibetans do not want to be free of China. They want simply to be Tibetan, celebrate their culture, religious freedom, and the bare bones of human rights. If you really want to find out what's going on, go to YouTube and search for Robert Thurman's five part lecture on his current book, "Why the Dalai Lama Matters." Then there won't be a smoke screen through which the media filters the message and travesty.

That is not American. That is a particular instance where we are misrepresented by war criminals. Have you heard a peep of Rumsfeld since he withdrew himself from public view? Why would you think that happened? Too many war criminals to name. NOT a representation of the good people of American values of freedom of expression.

Still too long! My husband said they should build a giant stage which comes up from a hidden view and contain all the athletes all at once. Wave, and begin! Feed people with the saved money and satellite time to broadcast it all!
