Heather Echola I would say skip it for now. Maybe ask her how she feels about political songs. Even if it is one of your favorites, you do not want to poison the well for a really good student, when there are thousands of other songs you could teach her.

Here is Duke doberman in his shirt. He didn't fight me putting it on. I know he doesn't really like it very much. But at 7 this evening we are down to 10 degrees outside. Even with limiting his time outside it's extremely cold on...

So yesterday, I had an appointment with my pain management doctor, and because of a cold he was willing to switch to a telephone appointment. The last time we did this he forgot me, and this time I was assured he wouldn’t. Well,...

Well, with the tariffs and all, avocados are pricey. I have not been buying them at all. Often when I do buy them they are not great quality. We shopped a tiny bit the other day, and I literally haunt the mark down sections at my...

Heather Echola @DaddyEvil When I worked there, there was a live pet department and the humane society complained about conditions. Walmart then quit donating damaged pet food and just trashed it out of anger at that group of citizens.

Heather Echola I think we get ours from Mexico. California raises them, too. Sometimes they are good, other times not so much. 80 cents would be a good price here.

Heather Echola This is in a Dillons. Walmart trashes their expiring things, likely. I know returned clothes when I worked there were deliberately damaged so people could not get it from the dump. What WM would say was that they did not want to be known as the "cheap store".I...
