Huh, I had no idea about the international ID thing. I guess that makes sense... Microchips for identification purposes are probably not as widespread everywhere as they are in the US. And since his tattoos match his DOB, they support his breeding papers and marking diagrams.
My greyhound has tattoos inside his ears -- given to him by the people that gave him a stupid racing name but no real "pet" name, and basically threw him away when he broke his leg -- and I cried the first time I saw them. Also, who names a racing dog George Costanza? That's like begging everyone to avoid betting on him.
I guess I get it, people steal dogs and do other horrible illegal things with them, and tattooing what is the equivalent of a VIN on a dog's ear is like branding your propoerty. But *this* is just a vanity tattoo.

My greyhound has tattoos inside of his ears. I cried the first time I saw them. I can't imagine how scared he must have been, getting those.
Nice. I laugh 'till I cried... and then kept crying because I have a uterus.
Oh. Mama P, you slay me.
We have Central Market here in Houston -- it's the same company as HEB -- and they are on average 15% cheaper than WF. I basically go there exclusively for fresh seafood if it's the middle of the week and I'm not about to drive to Galvatraz. Oh, and for their smoked pecan gouda spread. What? I'm fat.
Those are the exact same reasons why I shop there, when I do. They also have great bulk selection that turns over (at least in my area) regularly, so I get small quantities of weird spices and my nerdy homemade bread ingredients from them, too.
The Pig by my parents' home actually sells out of their merchandise (vintage style T-shirts, trucker hats) on the reg. No one in bumfuck Louisiana is missing out, trust me.
So, tl;dr: If you aren't fucking, you're kind of fucked, unless you hit each other! But don't hit a bong!
HA! That was Tia Carrere! I am vindicated! The husband didn't believe it was her. (does fantastic gloating dance of winning)
BWAHAHA! Took me a minute.
Right? Just thinking about it is getting me all hot and fired up. Ah, puns.
Susan Sarandon is on to something, my BIL and SIL tried for two or three years with no luck, took a "farewell tour" of Europe before they were about to sink a ton of money into fertility treatment, and came back pregnant.
Suddenly that curtain rod makes so much more sense.
Saying conversion disorder is "all in your head" is like saying a stroke is all in your head -- technically correct but not at all helpful.
I used schmaltz, but duck fat... You win.
oh, Meryl, you just cut to the core of why the majority of my male friends don't like "girl music". Just thinking about it is making the tips of my ears angry-hot.
i dump a can of rotel in the slowcooker with a bunch of chicken strips... At the end of the day, you can shred for tacos and use the liquid for rice.
You can also make veggie patties/balls (falafel, black bean burgers, etc) in the crock and they'll crisp up if you coat both sides with oil... You don't have to do just soups and cassroles. That being said, I make a mean stewed eggplant in the crockpot.
I definitely recommend a programmable one, especially if you're going to be gone all day and using it to make beans -- you can have it cut off after 6 hours and switch over to warm, and when you come home from a long day out, it's waiting for you, without the beans being overdone and mushy.

I just did a rack of pork ribs a week or so ago -- a mini can of gingerale in the bottom, wadded up some foil and put it in the gingerale to keep the (at that time, frozen) ribs out of the liquid, and added a few drops of liquid smoke to the gingerale. Low all day... my work day is about 9 hours. Finished in the oven with some BBQ sauce on top. SO EFFING GOOD. And if you refrigerate and skim the liquid when you're done, you get sweet-smokey pork lard.
