    Vehicles for Large Dogs

    Hello all. I currently have a 2005 Mazda 3 sedan and a 4-month old Mastiff/Saint Bernard mix. The pup is growing 3-4 pounds a week and the Mazda will not be suitable for him in a few months time. My girlfriend has a Jeep Compass, which certainly has more room in the back than the Mazda, but...

    I've had my share of car problems...

    First I'll say that I'm a very cautious driver. I drive relatively slow and I don't push my car at all. However, over the last 3 years I've had some terrible luck with my cars. I had a 1999 Acura integra that required a new tranmission (auto) after 75,000 miles, then had a radiator burst...

    I love crockpot cooking!

    The meat is sooo tender and has just a slight hint of a bbq-like sauce. The onions practically melt in my mouth. mmmmm....it was worth the wait... Right out of the Crockpot I burned the middle one a bit, but I'm sure it'll still be delicious. I cut up the big one on the bottom and put...

    Got stung by a bee earlier today and I'm allergic

    I was chatting with my friend by his car outside of my house earlier today when this ultra-aggressive bee decided he had had enough. The bee went right for me, my friend smacked it away, and then it went right for my friend. My friend managed to get it off of him, but then the bee went...

    Blistex Lip Infusion!

    My lips were really dry so I picked this up at the store today. It's brand new I guess. It's pretty much just blistex, but with a "ball-point pen" design. It works great. Highly recommended! No mess at all. http://www.blistex.com/Lip%20Infusion.htm

    Just completed a 3-day juice-fast!

    I started doing some research a few weeks ago on natural colon cleansing after I saw some infomercials on tv. I read a lot of information on the subject and decided to undertake a 3-day juice fast. What is a 3 day juice-fast? Simply, a juice fast is when you only consume fresh fruit and...
