Jimmy Johns looks like gourmet food in comparison, and Jimmy John's even sucks. |

Like I said, every couple months or so. |

Unbeknownst to me, my wife put a half pound box of Belgian chocolates under the tree this morning. I got home at lunch to find my dog had eaten the whole box. I stayed home this afternoon to watch the dog to make sure he didn't puke or shit all over the house. It all worked out well and the dog was fine. Thanks for the half day off dear! |

If it's milk chocolate you should be fine. Unless you get into dark chocolate with a high percentage of cacao, then you might have to worry. |

My dog ate 5 socks when she was 2 and we had to do surgery. Well, the vet did the surgery, but I had to pay for it. |

My folks had a beagle dog when I was a kid. Nasty mean ass beagle dog. Anyhow my mom made a three pound meatloaf one night. Took it out of the oven when my dad got home and set it on the stovetop. Dad went upstairs and changed, asked ma what was for dinner. She said I just took a meatloaf out of the oven. He said you did? It's gone. Fuckin beagle dog ate a fuckin 350 degree 3 pound meatloaf in like 3 minutes. Fucker. |

As douchebag said if it’s milk chocolate that’s not enough. Dark chocolate you make them puke before they can absorb it. Hydrogen peroxide will usually do the trick. It’s a joy. |

It was dark chocolate and some of them had liquor mixed into it. I was pretty confident he wasn't going to die but was quite sure he was going to be pretty sick. I tried to get his mouth open to put some Peroxide in there but if you have ever tried to open a Boxer's mouth with one hand when they don't want to open up, it's pretty much useless trying. I was able to get some down there but all it did was make him foam at the mouth a little and lick his lips. Anyway the dog never got sick in the least, which surprised me because he has a bit of a sensitive stomach. Lesson learned anyway. I was giving the wife a hard time and accused her of trying to kill the dog. |

My nephew just received a congressional commendation to USNA I may have a complaint thread entry in the near future as he said he's not sure he wants to go because all his friends are going to Marquette and he wants to be with them. The fuck is your problem, boy? |

I was giving the wife a hard time and accused her of trying to kill the dog. Similar thing happened to us at Christmas -- I had a bunch of stocking fun size chocolates and a couple bigger ones that I had put on the back of my wife's desk which buts up against a wall. I also had purchased two doggie cookie treats for each dog. Well Christmas eve we are out celebrating with folks, come home after a few hours, and the office door is open (dog figured out how to open doors) and the two dog treats are gone (packaging remains), the mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are gone (packaging gone as well) and a couple of the bigger chocolate treats are gone. We lock up the smaller one in her crate because she was trained and will stay in there, but our 95-lb Mastiff mix roams free. I blame myself for not putting that stuff in a cabinet or something. I wasn't very worried about the chocolate due to her size and the relatively small amount, but she has a very sensitive stomach. Other than some interesting outside deposits, and one wrapper puke, she ended up OK. |

I had a dream last night that for some reason I was a guest of Bernstein's at a remote somewhere, and said something about football being more exciting/interesting this year and he gave me a meh face and started talking about CTE and bad officiating, but then I spoke for about three minutes and he admitted he was probably wrong. Why I had this dream, I have no idea... I have had the flu so maybe my weakened immune system is allowing for more Bernstein in my head. |

You petition your congressman. I think they all have different manners of review. This one had a couple of tiers and then the finalists interview before an independent committee of district residents who have experience in such matters. I’m not entirely sure of the whole approach. I think senators also have them. You still have to gain admission but it is a big step. |

Never told this to any living members of the board, but I was on the team that developed ENIAC. I was the one to suggest vacuum tubes. Was working for Hoover in those days selling door to door, and my route stretched from Fort Wayne to Omaha, and so I had vacuum parts aplenty in my cab. When I caught on with the ENIAC team for extra money, I kind of put two and two together and helped solve one of the problems they were having. It's good to know you've had a hand in history, especially in dreadful months like Jan. and Feb. (sorry, I'm not gonna start spelling shit out if you already know what I mean; it's stupid). It's a nice little pick-me-up. Also, I was Hinckley's middle school counselor. |

When I pour out the ass end of my beers for dead homies are there more names than OKC and Free Ajent? 2) if you ever want a soundtrack for your post I think https://youtu.be/YyknBTm_YyM works |
