prestocaro Sucks, doesn't it? Picking out a gift/card is the worst when you don't know the person or love them... You say "used to": she doesn't ask you to do that any more, or she isn't your boss still?

prestocaro thanks for the response! As you mentioned, I do need to start evaluating my prospects elsewhere. I think now that I'll have more time to do my own job, I will be leaving work at a more reasonable hour and will thus have time to actually look for a better job.

It is a shocking day. The weather is very stormy, there is very strong wind & a lot of rain. Hail is expected. We have already lost our electricity supply for two hours. Someone's verandah near where I live was blown down. More is...

prestocaro I would be worried, too! But I think, based on what you've posted, your daughter sounds like a very determined girl. I do hope that she will be fine. I bet that if it gets to hairy out there, they'll just bring the kids back early.

None of you would know that I was brought up in a firefighters family. I think my Father joined the firebrigade not long after I was born. We lived in an industrial city in the north with a population of around 13,000 at the...

prestocaro That sounds fascinating. I had no idea that that is how firemen used to do it! Do you do any radio dispatch work now for emergency services?

After you have a meal in a restaurant, will you bring the leftover to home and eat it another day? I don't like waste the foods, so I like to bring leftover. In fact I try to order enough foods, as we can't eat too many each time....

prestocaro I read a really great tip the other day about portion control and this sounds like the perfect place to put it out there. Apparently, you should just ask for a to-go box to come out with your meal. When it arrives, box up exactly half of the food. Portions in...

Why do firehouses always have dalmatians? Why not some other breed of dog?

prestocaro I've always heard that they have dalmations because they have a high frequency of deafness. Firemen want a dog that is already deaf because the sirens are so loud it could be very painful to a dog that can hear. But I am no expert. This kind of sounds like an...

How often should I bathe my puppy? Please let me know

puppy

7 responses

prestocaro bathe your puppy when it gets stinky. Don't bathe every day as this could lead to dry, irritated skin! Always use a shampoo made FOR PUPPIES as they have very delicate, sensitive skin. Remember that you should try to get your puppy used to baths and grooming...

prestocaro The word "fetus" is Latin for "young one" or "offspring." The fetus has everything present that will be found in a fully developed adult, which is at about eight weeks for humans. The heart has been beating for over a month, the stomach is now producing...

prestocaro I like grilled cheese with jelly. My favorite combo is sharp cheddar and apple butter. Other good ones I have tried are goat cheese and fig jam, as well as swiss and orange marmelade. I know it sounds weird, but it is so good! Just spread the jelly on one side...

The last few days I've been talking to a lot of my friends and family about the double standards of religion. It kind of dawned on me a few moments ago how really screwed up they are. See for me I am what people consider to be...

prestocaro Two words: I agree. I do not lump all people of a certain sect of faith together, and it sounds like you don't either. But many people LOVE to categorize people on the basis of their looks, speech, or faith. What you describe -- especially the handing out...

Lately, whenever I ask someone what they want to do -- where they want to go, or what they want to eat, etc. -- they just answer "I don't care". This really bugs me! How can someone have no preference? Usually, I try to just go...

prestocaro oh, I get that one, too. Now I'm just doing what I want to do, all the time. I've decided it's silly to go through this whole rigmarole. If someone doesn't like my suggestion, they should just come up with their own instead of shooting mine down.

prestocaro Stale cereal? If you nuke it (in a cereal bowl) for a few seconds, stir it up, and then nuke for a few more seconds, it will come back to life! Just let it "set up" for about 30 seconds after you pull it out -- until it's not hot any more -- and it will be...
