Oh no

So it snowed for the first time this season and I took Belle out to play. She didn't make it two blocks before she started limping and licking at her toes. I checked and there were no ice balls or other objects wedge in there.. she barely made it home. And at 60lbs, there's no way I could carrier her.

What do ya do with this? I've never seen a giant hairy dog that couldn't be in the snow before. I live in MinneSNOWta for eff's sake. Do I dare buy her little booties? Any other suggestions?

techy question

Is there a way to stop my username popping up automatically when I go to log into TT on my work computer? (As in, as soon as I click in the username section, it comes up)

The password doesn't come up, and I finish up here today, but I'd still rather the username didn't pop up of its own accord!

Thanks in advance.

Travel Ideas

During our normal evening chat J mentioned that he'd gone and started filing out the form to renew his passport. He had one when he was little but has never been out of Britain. Now, because of me, he has decided to get a new one and actually use it! Can you tell I'm excited?!

The plan is to go for a week in my Easter holidays which gives me plenty of time to work out where the hell we should go. Was thinking France because:
a) I kinda speak the lingo (ok the basics but better than nothing)
b) it's not that far and can be easily reached by ferry and car
c) I know he'll like the food

I know it sounds really stupid to experienced travellers but it's really important that I get this one right. I can't imagine not sharing my travels with whoever I'm with and since I really really want to make things work with J I somehow need to be able to show him how amazing travelling ca... more »

I'm such a dork

Having had a completely inappropriate dream about one of my coworkers earlier this week, I've lost the ability to look him in the eye. I think I've also been blushing furiously when forced to speak to him.

How do I make this stop??????? I'm embarrassed over something that didn't even happen.
If you have no advice, at least tell me I'm not the only one who has had this problem.

Remember my post about getting a dress custom made from a woman in China?

It arrived and is fabulous! Fits like a glove - all the seams are professionally finished (no raw edges). I think I have a new addiction.

I'll post a piccie in a couple of weeks. I'm going to wear it to my husband's Christmas do. Her shop is on eBay here, if you want to take a look: http://stores.shop.ebay.com.au/TopRunway__W0QQ_armrsZ1

I'm so excited - no more ill-fitting clothes!

Me: Twilight, yes?'
Mum 'Well there's a someone called Jason'

Mum 'oh right'

Another food thread

Do you have a food stuff that you cannot control yourself around?

I have one. My sisters MIL makes this garlic stuff....it's some lebanese thing where they get masses of fresh garlic, puree it up in a food processor, slowly drizzle oil, salt and a squeeze of lemon in.....it ends up with a texture kind of similar to beaten egg whites but it is basically pure garlic.

I cannot be in the same postcode as this stuff without inhaling it.
I arrived yesterday afternoon and found some leftover steamed sweet potato..warmed it up and piled it with this garlic stuff. Perfect pre dinner snack.
Then for dinner i piled this stuff all over my stir fry.
And breakfast this morning....I bypassed the cereal and had leftover lamb kofta with garlic.

I can only imagine what I must smell like.

The Good, the Bad & the Ugly

Good - I got a 95 on my Census test.
Bad - It might be months before they do any hiring.
Ugly - I can't believe how many adults freaked out over taking a 28 question test. One woman practically cried over not finishing the test and wanted the administrator to call the bureau so she could complain. Another wanted to know if she could have some points because she didn't bring her reading glasses. One man didn't bring any ID but brought his 5 yo grandson to prove who he was.

Bless the test administrators patience.

Paying for checking bags

Inspired by Nat's post.

I'm taking a flight in a couple of months but with 2-3 different airlines to get to my final destination.

Who do you pay the checked bag fee to? Please tell me I don't have to pay them all.

Men of the tree: respond

I live a transiant, crazy life and I love it.

A few years ago, I had a quick but lovely relationship with a man who has turned up back in my life for at least the next few months. Back then, we were both single.

Now, I'm still single and he has a fiancee. I accept that. He's still going to be a good friend.

But he thinks it's okay if we stay more than friends. I don't.

Is it the thrill of cheating? The distance from his girlfriend? Just a hormone thing? Anyone been in this situation? I'm just interested in the thought process which would go into him justifying such a decision. I find it mind boggling.

Holiday stress?

If I see another one of those "holiday stress" columns in the lifestyle section of magazines and papers or tv shows I'll go nuts!

It can be difficult to participate and be jolly if a loved one has died or is ill or financial situation is pretty dire. But FFS what's with deep breathing, inhale exhale tips in-betwwen shopping trips?
