I, for one, liked the way that Maks was "touchy feely" with Kirstie. Why? Because when a woman is that age and overweight, especially when the woman is famous and used to be stunningly beautiful with a stunningly fabulous body, she would naturally have some issues with feeling a bit out of place or frumpy next to the professional female dancers and the young, thin, and cute celebrity dancers. Kirstie was doing better and better each and every week, and she was also losing weight and inches each and every week. To me, watching Maks be so "loving" towards her, it was like his confirmation to her that she should be proud of herself and her accomplishments and not feel inferior to anyone. It was an affirmation that she is still beautiful and sexy.

I have failed at pictures thus far.. I work a full time job, and also run my own business so this post hasn't gotten much attention lately! We did have a cool spell for about a week and I noticed that the leaves started looking healthy again, despite my having forgotten to hand water. It looks like this is basically transplant shock that is only appearing when the higher temps come around which makes sense seeing it is a more stressful environment. I think all in all, I should just leave the thing alone and let the roots re-establish themselves. I was surprised since it really isn't that hot, but it looks like 80's and the plant is happy, 90's and the plant gets cranky. All that being said, the wood isn't dying back, and the leaves have stopped dropping so I think it will manage to survive. I will top dress next year to try and give the soil a bit more nutrient density and otherwise just see how things go! Didn't want to leave this post hanging. Thanks again for all the comments.

I always knew she looked like me but was embarrassed to say it because I don't think I was that pretty growing up & it would be like saying, yeah, she's pretty like me! lol Her other grandmother put a side by side picture of both of us on FB yesterday and I was amazed. She even has the same arch I do on the left eyebrow. William Marshal. I found my dream man. hee. I accidentally discovered him when I began reading about Henry II and Eleanor of Aquataine, another great love story with a tragic ending. They fell in love when Eleanor was married to the French king & had kids with him. She left the King of France then married Henry. Huge love story. William was one of the knights escorting Eleanor somewhere in France, and they were ambushed by the French who were after Eleanor. It was William who got in front of her and fought, while she took off. He suffered a bad leg wound, and they took him hostage. Eleanor didn't even know him but she was the one who paid his ransom, then hired him to teach the future Henry the Young, Richard I, and King John about jousts, using a sword, and being a good soldier. Henry II hired him & when he died, Young Henry hired him, then Richard hired him, John hired him, and John's son, Henry III hired him. He was loyal to a fault and although King John was a horrible horrible man, except to his children, William kept his word of loyalty and stayed. Richard chose Isabel de Clare for William to marry. William had no money but Isabel....you gotta look it up, I could talk all day long. Romance galore but not the trashy kind, great history that's well documented William was invested into the Knights Templar on his deathbed and he's buried with an effigy In Temple Church, London.

at first glance, i thought the "weird-looking ailment" looked like a well-healed enucleation that was weeping fluid of some sort but i assume it was a problem/injury to a normal eye? am i missing something? eye issues in pets is 100% an emergency so your family member was right to take this dog in right away. as for the bill, it looks pretty standard to me. the only entry i find a bit questionable would be "sedation" at $175 but even that isn't totally out of line. i have great danes. if you want to see sticker shock, i can show you a couple of e.r. visits for fairly minor issues that were double the costs here! what did the problem turn out to be and is it getting better?
