Also there's no guarantee that they're truly hypoallergenic - it's just that they're lower in whatever most people are allergic to. So you could pay a bunch of money only to have to sell or give the kitty away.

pretty sure they give you the cat for testing before letting you purchase it.
just like they test you when you want to buy those genetical edited savannahs.

Oh good, I was on Disney's website and was asked to take a survey. Why yes, I would LOVE to take a survey and tell you what I think of your website...

and then they instantly cut you off, because you are not part of their "super limited and narrowed demographics"

I met him at SWW and he was a jerkface. Later that afternoon I met Jeremy Bulloch (Boba Fett) who was absolutely charming so that made up for it.

He explained why he was a jerk to everyone in the same thread. No surprise so many kid starts either suicide or end in trouble with drugs or violent stuff..

They didn't cut me off. I was amazed.

OK gang, although I'm still 70+ pages behind, I'm out for now...
The sweetest of Disney dreams to one and all...!
Laterrrrrrr...!!!

I've missed so much once again and I can't even say that I've kept up to @Goofyernmost standards and read all my alerts and I've lost track of which ones I've read and not. Oy.

If I missed a question or anything please tag me. Apologies.

My professor's response to my pointing out the textbook's Disney errors

"Maybe they got the information from the annual report."

I went and looked at a few annual reports. Nada, of course. But he said he would look into it. I sent him a few links verifying what I was saying.

To be honest, a lot of teachers are kinda forced to accept what books say as stone set truth, even if its wrong.
Many forget that every release version has an errata of the prior versions.

dear @StarWarsGirl95 , I'm sorry to say that we will have to freeze you like Walt's head.
Clearly you're an extremely special human being in danger of extinction. So we will preserve you until we can be sure we can make copies of you.

I at minimum skim my Disney Annual Reports in recent years. Can't say that type of info is the focus of their annual reports. What kinda class is he a professor for?

Me, I use to love the old Annual Report. A book of what was coming in the Worlds of Disney, full of photos and concepts. The late 80s and 90s the annual report was fun to pluck out of the mail box, better than Christmas catalogs of yesteryear.

My goodness, Naples and then the ruins at Pompeii. Wow. I think the closest I got to any Italian culture today was the chicken parmesan sandwich in the cafeteria at work! (slab o' chicken, slab o' American cheese, and some genuine, Italian Ragu sauce, on a white bread bun!)

You are on quite the trip, I must say. This is far more than I imagined you had on your itinerary. I love the pictures.

Me too @Goofyernmost I am loving your real time report and photos. What an amazing trip.

My sister had miniature dachsunds that were allergic to a lot of dog foods. As treats they got carrots.

I had a golden that was allergic to all sorts of things, carpet cleaners, grass, dog food/treats. Oy. I fed her Oatmeal, some chicken breast for protein and animal crackers for treats. It worked for her and lived till she was 14. Good long life.

I told my dog that he was weird tonight, and he stood there wagging his tail like I was telling him sweet nothings!!

Devoted Pup! Woof! Gotta love him.

That is one spooky picture!

Pass

So do you keep cats outdoors like in your barn?

Wanta see what was outside my window today? Our varmint control.

That beak of hers has a mighty hook in it.

Spoiler

I think TV should show nudity but Americans will never go for it

Yep. I can do without it. A good chunk of actors are best clothed, their talents are not necessarily their bodies. Some things are best unseen. While I can think of several exceptions the vast majority best covered.

I need a dog so badly, they always kept me warm. My best camping buddy, Freddy, always slept in my sleeping bag with me! And at my feet at home, I miss him , as all my doggies a lot! Wiggles, did the same. When you want a warm loving buddy, get a dog or puppy. I've wanted a kitty, but hubby, as I have said before, had them as a child....and is allergic to them. I've always had a doggie, and haven't tested allergies for a while. Maybe, being pet less, and donating is the best way to go. We love donating for homeless and no kill shelters. I do have an inanimate doggie, I named lucky. I felt so lucky getting him. I tell him good morning every day. Okay, I'm officially a crazy old woman! just kidding, but keep the doggie and kitty pics and video's coming, they make my day!

Look into doggies that have a low allergy rating and then consider fostering a doggie. It is short term until they can be placed and a good low risk way of testing how you will react to them. If one doesn't work you can try a few more breeds. In the meanwhile you'd be doing something kind for a pup looking for a permanent home.

 

[catmom46]

And the same goes for dogs. Same procedures as you outlined. There are breeds that fling far more allergens than others. Mix breeds are always a risk. The best dog I've come across for people with allergies to dogs is the Chesapeake Retriever. Their coat is a bit wavy and has more natural oils and they tend not to throw dander or their undercoat. It is that undercoat with both cat and dogs and dander that often is the trigger.

Too cute!!

Yesss buy the candy...buy the candy...

Today I bought 50 bags of cheetos, 50 bags of m & m mini cookies, 180 Twizzlers long sticks and 50 minion fruit roll ups. It is a long trick or treat span, double the time normally because it is a Saturday however it is to rain. I bought stuff I could donate or my DD would eat if trick or treat is a wash out.

 

[Figgy1]

Okay one more post from you, @MR FERRET , and I'm getting a kitten. They look so sweet....trouble is... hubby would keel over! allergies!

Can your dh get allergy shots for kitties?

 

[Figgy1]

Me too, I've found I can only do kale raw....reminds me of a very strong radish. Don't tell me my taste buds are shot, DD has told me that for years!

Have you tried baby kale?
