  1. I am so sorry for your loss, I know the feeling that you and your family are going through. I lost my father in Janurary due to complications from Liver Cirhossis and just 14 months prior lost my mother to stomach cancer. They were 63.

     

    Prayers for you and your family. :wub:

  2. Both Katherine Heigle and TR Knight have confirmed they are leaving the show after this season. They have both been released from their contracts. I see how they are having Izzy leave the show. I wonder about George. I bet it will have something to do with Izzys death.

     

  3. Congrats on the newest Eagle Scouts. My son Eagle'd 3 years ago. Your Eagle Scout gift should be suited to the gentleman receiving this honor. When our Scoutmasters nephew received his Eagle, we gave him the red wool jacket like his uncle always wore. My son received his grandfathers (also an Eagle) pocket knife. A sure bet however is always a gift certificate to REI or Dicks. That way they can get what they want or need.

     

    Again Congrats !!

  4. I've been doing some research on a new business venture and wanted to get pcom’s opinion.

     

    Would you take your pet to a self service pet grooming salon?

     

    I have 2 large golden retrievers who make bath time horrible. Not only is it a :diablo: to bend over the tub and try to keep them in one spot, but it takes another hour just to clean the bathroom when were done. Then the mess that comes with the drying and brushing..... whoo it's a lot. I take them to a professional groomer about once every 8 to 12 weeks, mainly for ears, toenails and anal expressing (can't do that :bad: ) But with two big girls it can get expensive, and this economy it’s tough.

     

    I know there is a place like this in Kennesaw, I might check it out next week, but I don't think there is anything like this in our neighborhood.

     

    It would be a place where we provided everything you would need to wash and groom your own pet.

     

    Large washing tubs with ramps for larger dogs.

    Washing supplies..... Shampoos and such

    Grooming tables with access to all the grooming tools you would need.

    Force air dryers.

    pet supplies like funky collars and dishes

     

    And maybe even have a professional groomer on staff to do what you wouldn't want to do.... (like nails and :bad: )

     

    So what do you think? Would you bring your pet in for around $20 and groom them yourself?

     

  5. if you tend to give gift cards around the holidays, be careful that the cards will be honored after the holidays.

     

    Stores that are planning to close after Christmas are still selling the cards through the holidays even though the cards will be worthless January 1.

  6. I cook mine in a dutch oven.

     

    Place your pork loin in a cast iron dutch oven and cover with apple juice.

    cook slowly for about 4 hours.

    On hour 5 remove all the juices from the pan and coat the loin in apple butter and just enough apple juice to cover the bottom of the pan and cook for another hour.

     

    Ohhh so good.

     

    I usually make this when camping, but works well on a stove or crock pot as well.

  7. I don't have a tattoo, but does anyone wanna see my stretchmarks? (No?)

     

     

    I thought about getting my stretch marks tatooed in red so they look like flames coming out of my pants. :D
