Lorelai Gilmore & Luke Danes Analysis & how I would change the story

A Lorelai Gilmore analysis because apparently I'm doing this for everyone on the show now!

Lorelai Gilmore...how do I begin to describe Lorelai Gilmore. There are times when Lorelai can be my favourite character and times where she can be my least favourite character.

I think Lorelai denying the fact that she is still very privileged despite leaving her parents world when she was 16 is one reason she can drive me up the walls. Lorelai is a conventionally attractive white woman who fits the trope of 'single mom but my child is really smart so men don't see it as a turn off' - she seems to be able to get any guy she wants, the whole town falls at her feet and are willing to do pretty much anything to help her, she was promoted to Manager seemingly above Michelle (who actually went to school to train to be a concierge or whatever he is and who we know started at the same time as Lorelai) Lorelai has all the advantages of someone who spent their whole life in a small town but whenever she needs it or wants it she always has her parents money to fall back on or their connections which I get makes her uncomfortable and I don't hold her privilege against her - no but what I can hold against her is the fact that Lorelai Gilmore is not a pay it forward kind of gal.

When I say that Lorelai is not very "pay it forward" I'm going to talk about three incidents where Lorelai benefitted from something in the past which she does not need anymore and which she very begrudgingly relinquishes.

1. The first is when Suki wants to ask her if Rune can sleep in the potting shed while he is out of work. Lorelai's response to this is "Suki that's where Rory and I stayed when she was a baby" Just to recap Lorelai was allowed to stay in the potting shed rent free when Rory was growing up until Rory was 11 until she could afford to get a place of her own. Which is fine. But Lorelai has her own place now and now she is in a position to help someone else who could use the same help that she was once given and her first instinct is to keep it for herself which is made worse by the fact that Suki is asking her - Suki is Head Chef at the Inn and so she equals Lorelai in rank - as long as Rune staying in the shed doesn't interfere with the running of the inn, it should not be Lorelai's place to deny her.

2. When Jess comes to town. When Jess comes to town Lorelai doubts Luke's ability to care for a rebellious teen - which again is fine. She tries to reach out to Jess twice and ....things don't go well which I also think is fine (except for her essentially telling Jess that Dean is better than him ummm wtf Lorelai he's 17) ...look I could do a whole other post about Lorelai and Jess' interactions (Jess is my absolute favourite character on the show so you can probably guess what I'm going to say) and why they don't get on but I'm going to focus on Lorelai's reaction to the car crash and what she says to Luke in 'Teach Me Tonight' when Luke tells her he has an obligation to Jess and she responds that he had an obligation to the town and to her and to Rory. We are shown and we are told that Luke has done a lot for Lorelai and would do a lot for someone that he cares about, however, I think again that on some level Lorelai thinks of Luke's generosity towards her as a special privilege just her own. I don't think Lorelai views Jess as someone like herself who needs a "Mia" or a "Luke" to help him get through a difficult time to let him stay in a metaphorical emotional "potting shed" but look having said that she does cut Jess some breaks and does help Luke understand things about Jess.

3. Her not wanting Mia to sell the Independence Inn because she wanted a memory home....ummm what. the. fuck?

Growing up Emily tried to control almost every aspect of Lorelai's life and this has impacted Lorelai by her being ultra controlling in her own life. I think her need to have complete control over her life made it very difficult for her to get serious with anyone because to do so you need to have a 50/50 say in a shared life. I think it's really telling that her two major love interests even over the guy she was engaged to are two men who have been in her life the longest.

I think at the end of the day when it comes to relationships Lorelai just wants someone to love her and to listen to her. She wants someone who would be willing to sleep on a park bench outside her window and someone to call at 2am. i think Emily and Richard we’re a real unit in their household and I think Emily was a Wife first, a lady of high society second and a mother third. Richard was well emotionally shut down and was all about appearances. But Emily and Richard work well as a unit, they are kind of like Lorelai and Rory that way they have their own way of doing things, their own language. I think it was hard for Lorelai growing up an only child next to that kind of relationship but not on the inside.

The story line I'm most annoyed about the writers dropping for Lorelai was the story line of her now living her life as an adult woman without a child - about her not wanting to be pregnant. The offer from her Dad's friend to buy the inn and for her to go travelling by herself! But if there is one thing that comes for all television characters in shows in the 00s it's hetero normative ideals those relentless bitches! Because...here is the thing I think that the life Rory thinks she wants for herself travelling and seeing the world as an independent woman that life is really the life that Lorelai wants. Lorelai is very like her Dad and she even says that she wants to travel like her Dad always travelled and I'm so annoyed that THAT wasn't the major Luke and Lorelai conflict instead of April Nardini. (who I think was in part written as a way to give Luke a biological child of his own and still get with Lorelai ....because again hetero-normativity) (its a trope *cough* How I met your mother *cough*) That's why the whole "Wild" trip was written for Lorelai in my opinion it's because Lorelai does want to go out and have an adventure and she does want to find herself. What's more annoying about this story line being dropped though is because the seeds for it being a major Luke and Lorelai conflict are there. Dean telling Luke that Lorelai wants more than Stars Hollow, Lorelai's curiousity about the job offer from her Dad's friend and Lukes reaction to that, Lorelai realising that some of her aversion to certain paths in life come from her parents wanting them for her which may include "going corporate" which could open doors for travel. That’s how Luke lost the last love of his life - Rachel. It was potrayed that she was always leaving - but it could also be interpreted as Luke never following her. Then Lorelai wants to travel to run incorporations of an inn that Rachel introduced her to through her pictures.

Think about it Luke's major character flaw is that he finds change very difficult. He lives in the same town he has lived in his whole life, he doesn't change his clothes, he can't make a move. This made sense for Luke before - he needed to be so solid because his family was so erratic, he needed to be there for his dad, he needed to be there to bail his sister out but at the end of the show Luke has no reason not to change, his business is well established enough that he could trust Ceasar to run it while he was away, he (would not have had) any children, any real reason to stay in the town other than stubbornness.

I don't find April annoying as a character - I find why she was written annoying. Luke didn't need a kid. The show is filled with biological parent child relationships that don't work, that show that bonds are more about being there for someone than being in their DNA. I feel like writing as if Luke needs to have a child is just weird (it's stated and shown on multiple occasion he in fact really doesn't like kids), when he's been a relative hermit up to age what 35/40 means that maybe he'd be ok without kids and the fact that Luke is loved like a father by Jess and by Rory but no Luke needs biological children because? why?

And then Jess (who was always ready to leave and never shows his cards when it comes to love) could show up and tell him that he should go be with Lorelai wherever , that he’ll make sure Liz and TJ don’t join any vegetable cults. Because Luke now has someone else in his family that he can rely on and he doesn’t have to plan funerals and interventions for his crazy family members on his own and also the this plot line would fall in nicely with the GG theme song but that’s not that big of a deal.

Office AU - Part 1

Summary: AU narrative that takes place in an office environment. The main character is a mentally ill female who struggles to make it through each day and deal with her symptoms. Part 1 details her experiences with the illness, and how she comes to meet Loki on her lunch break.

Word Count: 1,738

Warnings: Mental illness, depression, anxiety, anger, etc. Potentially triggering.

A/N: This first part is a lot of exposition about the main character’s mental state. I promise it pays off in the end, and in subsequent parts.

Other parts of this story (as well as other stuff I’ve written) can be found here.

Taglist: @1800-fight-me @asheslokisgirl143 @sarahivi @namelesslosers @markusstraya @ablogoffanfics @onebloodypoet

Getting through work the day after an episode was never an easy task.

Sometimes, she would call in sick or work from home if she simply could not face the day. But today, she had some things she needed to get done that would require her to go to the office. She did not relish the thought of dealing with that environment when she was in such a state. Too many people. Too much noise. Nowhere to hide.

As she parked her car in the office building’s lot, she could feel the urge to cry. No, she thought, I can’t cry now. Not now. I have to go to work. She felt completely drained of all energy and wondered how she was going to get through the whole day like this. I’ll need a cup of coffee, she thought. Maybe two.

It was a pretty standard winter morning. Snow was on the ground, fallen two nights before. The sun was out now, and the air was cold and brisk. She watched the breath flow from her mouth as she stepped out of her car and locked the door. There was a strong wind against her as she walked up to the building. She pulled her scarf up around her mouth and nose and felt tears forming in her eyes. Thank goodness it’s just from the wind.

She always stopped in at the office cafeteria first thing to get a cup of coffee. This morning, there seemed to be more people than usual in there. She tensed up as she walked by the others in line at the coffee station. She had to wait for two other ladies to finish pouring their coffee before she could get hers, and these two ladies were taking their sweet time, chit-chatting and moving slowly. She felt her hands clench into fists. What was it with people always wanting to chit-chat?

Finally, she was able to start pouring her coffee. Large hazelnut, with extra cream, no sugar. She took her coffee the same way her father did, which never failed to amuse her. It wasn’t the only way she was like her father.

The elevator was mercifully empty. There was not much she disliked more than having to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with others in a crowded elevator. Not today, thank goodness. She took a deep breath as the elevator rose floor by floor. She sipped her coffee and took in its warmth and bitter flavor which she loved so much, and savored being completely alone, even if it was very brief.

The elevator opened, and she reluctantly walked out and swiped her badge at her office door. She entered a large area full of cubicles, already bustling and humming with life.

“Good morning,” said a voice. She felt her body tense up as her brain frantically tried to determine who was speaking to her. Oh God, she thought, please don’t talk to me. Not now. Not today. She spotted the chubby man with sandy brown hair and glasses smiling at her.

“Good morning, Matt,” she said flatly. Thankfully, that was the end of the exchange. Matt went about his business and she made her way to her desk.

It was 11:00 by the time she finished her coffee, and she hadn’t done much work. It was almost impossible to keep her mind on what she needed to do. Her thoughts kept wandering, back to the day before and the meltdown. She couldn’t exactly remember what had caused it in the first place. All she remembered was the pain and fear, the screaming and crying and pounding on the walls and the police officer showing up at her door and the paramedics arriving soon after. They wanted to take her to the hospital, but she convinced them not to. After all, she had been in that situation so many times before and always got through it.

As she sat at her desk, the sounds came at her one by one. The click-click-click of fingers on keyboards. The girl with the annoying laugh. The guy who wouldn’t stop coughing. Various beeps and tweets from random cell phones. Brian in the next cubicle munching loudly on chips. Murmurs of individual voices rolled up into a larger, more looming hum. It all became too much for her. She could feel her heart start to pound inside her chest.

She got up from her desk and walked out of the room into the hallway. Out here, even more sounds flew at her. People talking on their phones. Laughing. So many voices. They were surrounding her, threatening to drill inside her head and eat away at her brain from the inside. She felt her throat start to tighten, her breathing speed up. She was suffocating in this sea of noise, and she had to get out.

She knew she couldn’t hide in the bathroom, because that place was always too crowded. Instead, she headed for the stairwell. At least there, she could hide from most of the people. She made her way down two flights, then when she felt she was far enough away from humanity, she sat down on the cold, gray stairs and leaned her head against the concrete wall.

That’s when the tears started. Her head filled with images of the day before. All the pain, all the grief, all the frustration came flooding back and overflowed through her eyes.

She couldn’t hold it back. The tears turned into heaving, shaking sobs. She pounded her fist against the wall, hoping that the physical pain in her hand might distract her from the searing agony inside her head.

“Ma’am? Are you okay?”

It felt like two hands were grabbing onto her throat and pulling hard. She tried to fight, but struggling against them only made them grab and pull harder. She gasped for breath as her head began to throb and her ears began to ring.

“Hello?”

She realized the voice was talking to her. She looked up, bleary-eyed, to find a stocky man in a security guard uniform standing over her.

“Are you okay?”

“Yeah,” she said in a raspy tone, “I’m fine.”

“Okay, just making sure,” said the security guard, and made his way further upstairs.

She inhaled deeply, her lungs filling completely. She held her breath for a couple of seconds, then exhaled. She looked around at the brightly-lit, pale walls. She clenched her fists, digging her nails into her palms, trying to make herself feel something, anything. Instead she just felt numb. Her face was wet with tears, and the congestion in her nose made her head ache. She wondered how long it would be before she could make herself get up and go back to work.

The numbness was a welcome respite from the hypersensitivity of yesterday’s episode. When the anxiety and panic hits, it’s like every nerve in her body is turned on High and receptive to every tiny nuance in sound, light, and smell. The muffled music coming from her neighbor’s apartment was like ten thousand blaring trumpets. That’s what had started the whole episode -- the music. She was just not in the mood to hear someone else’s music, she never is, so the mere presence of it made her explode with rage and fear. It felt as though her personal space was being violated, even though there wasn’t anyone else in her apartment.

She cried, she screamed, she pounded the walls, trying to get the noise to stop. Eventually, someone in the building called the police and so she had to explain herself through heaving sobs that the music was what was making her so upset. The police called for an ambulance, and the paramedic took her vitals and asked if she wanted to go to the emergency room. Luckily she was able to convince him that she didn’t need to go.

She had been to the hospital for episodes before, and it was always the same thing. They would give her a sedative of some sort and keep her for observation. Sometimes they would admit her to the psych ward for a week where she’d have her meds adjusted. That happened five times. It had gotten to the point that it was very easy to tell when she actually needed to go to the hospital. A standard panic or anxiety attack was not a good enough reason.

Somehow, she was able to get up from the stairs and go back to work and make it through until lunch time. Of course, she had to stop in the bathroom first before she returned to her desk to make sure the little bit of makeup she put on that morning hadn’t smeared into a hideous mess.

At lunch time, she made her way downstairs to the cafeteria, where she assembled her usual salad. She paid for it at the register and headed to the tables to sit down and eat. She always ate alone. The cafeteria was fairly crowded. She was able to find a place at a two-seat table in the corner. She sat down, put her purse on the table next to her, and started to eat.

A few minutes went by uneventfully, with her mindlessly munching away at the lettuce and cucumber with Ceasar dressing. People chatted around her, but she did not listen. She was in her own head, still trying to process the day before. So when a man approached her table, she took no notice. It wasn’t until he spoke to her that she came out of her haze.

“Excuse me,” said the man, “But there’s nowhere else to sit. Do you mind if I share your table?”

She looked up at him. He was exceedingly tall, with long, black hair. He was wearing a black suit, with a matching black tie. He looked a bit like what she thought the devil himself might look like if he walked the earth. But there was something about his piercing blue eyes and calm tone of voice that somehow made her feel strangely comfortable with his presence.

She didn’t really want to share her table, but it appeared she had no other choice, and there was something so intriguing about this man, so she agreed to let him sit.

“Thank you,” he said as he set his tray on the table and sat down. “My name is Loki. Loki Laufeyson. I work on the eleventh floor.”

January 8, 2021: 2:24 pm:

Local Update:

==========

2:25 pm:

Terror bastard at Chartrand is still stalking me, still has an alarm system attached to the sound of my front door opening, when I open my door, the sound of dogs barking at Chartrands happens immediately upon opening my front door, more than one-thousand feet away from where the dogs are at, and there is no viability between my front door, and Chartrands at 376. The asshole got into a black nissan and drove to the mailbox to hassle me. He lingered still in his car to block my access to my mailbox momentarily.

============

2:35 pm:

The asshole at Chartrand’s could be the man who hopped the block wall at the terror doctor appointment the other day, and went towards a UPS truck that was parked at the Little Ceasar’s there behind the terror doctor in Medford. That man was wearing what appeared to be the same light colored blue hoodie that I saw a man wearing at the Monroe terror cell a couple of days earlier.

I also suspect that the Chartrand terror cell is occupied by members of UPS Big Brown, and are fooling other agents with use of UPS Uniforms because I happen to be wearing a brown colored sweat shirt this week.

In Oregon, Blue = Bleau = shit = Brown

There was a UPS Delivery Truck sitting at the 520 Jackpine terror cell when I returned from the Walgreen’s the other day. The driver was sitting there in the truck, and only left after he saw that I had a key to my gate, and had opened my driveway gate, then he left.

The UPS Driver is a Royal Canadian Mounted Police, disguised as Oregon State Police, disguised as a UPS Delivery Driver on a Sting investigation, while posing as the subject of the Sting, for a set-up to fool the federal agents who insist on always being fooled, all of time, and then hides himself as a innocent Christian church goer residing at 376, and he says is being threatened by he bully down the street.

All is made possible by federal officers who refuse to do their own research, will not do their job, insist on trusting the local authorities, who are the terrorists that the federal officers need to be apprehending, but won‘t, and are absolutely determined to walk right into the traps that are set for them by the local terror authorities who guide the federal officers into the traps like an air traffic controller advises run way conditions, and directions.

The “Box Canyon” terror scenario:

“Just go right over there to that where that trash can is at, then, take the spur road towards the west, there will be a dog kennel, and a bridge over a creek... that’s his hideout... if he’s not there, he’s banging the gal next door, so you’ll have to double back, head him off where all of the chickens are at... so, the front door there is well lit there, she is working for us, but is scared, can’t get the hard evidence we need, so, go there, to that gal next door, if he’s not over the bridge on the spur road”

The Canadian Mounted Police disguised as Oregon State Police.... etc, and so on... is from California, is a California Highway Patrol (CHP; Chips; Emilio Estevez wanna be. comes with a helicopter on HWY 126 Solidad Canyon as I recall, and a head ache) who is looking for a man who goes by the alias “Octavio Sledge”, a former SAG actor from Simi Valley Ca.

==============

3:40 pm:

Other:

In recent posts here, I talked about the hijacking of Time, the theft, pirating, control that happened 2021 years ago when January and February were tacked onto the bow of the Christian Pirate ship, is a very complicated mess to try to follow, and was the birth of the Russian Whore, that ran off with Marcus, after framing Jesus for crimes he did not do, and is now the Russian Mother of all Hoaxes, mature, complex, sophisticated madam of a Russian Whore (former spouse shows up on Decoder Ring RADAR)

So, I exposed the key that unlocks the secret of why February is truncated (in terror circles only) to “Feb”, then changed to “Fab”, and is the “F-A-B“ spoken as an acknowledgment “10-4″ sort of statement by “Thunderbird’s” 1960′s TV puppet show characters when on a mission, over a radio.

So, additional to that:

There are only very few words in the English dictionary that start with a “Feb” pre-fix.

Therein lies a secret to Thunderbird’s episodes, and the hijack pirating of Time 2021 years ago.

“Feb” changes to “Fab”, and “Fab” is a prefix for many words in the English dictionary. The implications of having a “secret Pre-Fix” reference word, is too great to fully explore here on a social media account where there is no one willing to read or use the information to do any national security work, and certainly are none that are ever going to help me in any way, so, for future sleuths who need more info, I add that the “Feb” to “Fab” transition phase is a privately used subject within heroin addicted terror circles, to say things that have to do with a “Pre-Fix” condition, in some way. When Thunderbird’s puppet characters say “F-A-B” it’s part of a training exercise in the episodes about heroin use, distribution, and is better stated as “heroin rations” for soldiers of The Cross, and, as a recreational activity for the terror SAG leadership.

The characters Kyrano and Tin Tin are “recreational characters”. Many of the characters on the Thunderbird’s episodes seem to morph into other characters, and play other roles in a variety of ways, and that notion can be simplified to “Recreational Character Enhancement” when that occurs on the TV show. One interpretation is: “If Recreational, then, Leadership”. It’s complicated though with components contained in the individual episodes, not many boundaries for that kind of comm hidden in the plots.

That, and if someone tosses a “Fab” into a conversation, then, someone else can toss a “Rick” into the conversation, for making Fabric.... to say that all involved are “Men of the Cloth”.

But the only words in English that start with the prefix “Feb” are “February”, and a handful of archaic words suitable for a game of Scrabble.

If someone tosses a “Feb” into a conversation, then, someone else can toss a “Brew” and do it “airy” into the same conversation, to say that poison gas is the “Pre-Fix” condition. The “airy” part, could be a silently expressed gesture.

“I’ll have an Apple Fritter, two French Crewlers, and a large coffee, black”

... is a Trinity order at the Winchell’s Doughnuts, Egyptian style, featuring the girls from The Bangles, walking the dog. no one believes what I write until it’s too late... then...

“I understand now” is the pre-fix condition, while laying on a medieval torture rack next door, all heroined up so they don’t scream during the Spanish Inquisition that follows the fix on the rack.

“Acme SAG Rack Repair Services” are supplied with the contents of the brazier department at the Walmart. It changes the word “breast” from a noun to a verb: “To Breast”: “How shall I breast thee? Let me count the ways”. Comes in pairs.

Example: Someone by the name of “Deb” is assigned to do some in depth undercover secret agent work, to stop terror, secretly, is a double agent, works for FBI up front, and works for SAG and the Crusades in the back.

Two French Crewlers are added to a conversation at the Sting Convention where different agencies are present, at least one RCMP is hidden among them, and Deb needs to find out who her contact is, while within a group of Global Security personnel. All Deb needs to do, is indicate in some way, that she is an “F”. Any which way will do... be it with a “Double D” to add two to the D of Deb to make Feb, or some other way... Deb will use a variety of subtle clues to find out, who among any crowd, is also a double agent, and only needs to get an F in place of a D to do it within the shell rules of The Text, and can consult the Choir as well, to use standard guitar tuning, for a “Drop D” darkness in the metal that follows. A railroad horn can confirm those kinds of statements, because a train horn standard tuning is in the key of F. Is an F Sharp, unless special conditions exist. The real national security people, have all been brainwashed their entire lives, so, they don‘t know or care the least about what an F sharp sounds like. That is a great advantage to the Vatican Choir terror, because the train horn is a musical instrument, and for that reason, the train operator must be a American Music Federation SAG member with dues paid in full, card in good standing in order to have the job of Train Driver... who is required to sound the musical instrument at all crossings.... usually in F sharp, those are the rules, unless specially noted on the sheet music, that Deb is interested in knowing about to find out who her contact is, and where to make contact.

I’ll wager dollars to doughnuts that when a person is hired at the FBI, or is considered for a Officer position in US Military Academy school, that their interest in music is a consideration that is secretly looked at from Top Leadership way up on the totem pole. The interest, or absence of interest in music is used to determine what rank officers will be hired, or trained for, is my guess, and is where my money is for a bet. The reason is that for a person to learn the difference between a F and a A, when one is sounded, takes many years of exposure and attention given to the quality and characteristics of sounds.

Let’s say a low rank officer is placed into a position where national security is an issue, then, that officer learns that tonality is a big factor for discovering the secrets of the national security issue. Then, that officer is still not going to have the necessary skills to read the communications done by those who are the national security issue, and indeed, are the people who are in charge at the agency that hired the low ranking agent, because that agents is oblivious to musical tonality, is why they hired him. It will take years just to learn the difference between a D and an F, and the terror will continue despite the enlightenment of the low ranking officer about the importance of tonality.

It also comes with a business suit from “The Text”, with a Tone-on-Tone dress shirt, so, those are often worn with a $1,000 suit, it has to be important at that price and with kind of texture.

======

5:05 pm:

The Vatican Choir terror includes many of the rock musicians we love to hear. There are some seriously dark secrets about them. The members of Metalica, Foo Fighters. Audioslave, are three example of hundreds of examples of a condition where the terror soldiers are up front in the limelight and news, everyone knows who they are and what they look like, but, the Vatican Hokus Pokus is so good at what they use it for, that no one has discovered that those guys and others, are all paratroopers, who do aerial raid in neighborhoods. They are able to drop in with parachute to do hit order work on special assignment, or drop-in just because they all heard that there was a hot chick that lives in the neighborhood, or, to hijack a cocaine shipment that their spies learned of. In the event that they are caught red handed, their fame turns the table without necessity of much explanation. They are able to play victim when they are the aggressors. It’s bizarre, no one has figured that out yet. If you are able to immerse your thoughts in a situation where Lars Ulrich and gang has just dropped in by parachute and killed a family, and apply all that could happen into your thoughts, it becomes more clear as to why the fame works if they get caught, and with news agencies working in league, there won’t be news reports, the fame cover only needs to work for a short time. Or, you could ignore what I am saying, and learn the hard-way, when the bastards drop in on your wave, the way I did.

=================

5:25 pm:

Other:

Reminder about technology advancement and a request to put more focus on the specifics about the advance and control of technology for the purpose of gaining advantage for the Crusades, generally speaking, covers a wide swath of subject matter:

Examples of USA being throttled in the introduction into the marketplace for public consumption, and, throttled from introduction into realms of social protection services (LE) include the internet, it’s perceived functionality at given times in recent history, vs it’s true functionality at those times in history.

In 1990 in USA, we had America Online, and use of a camera to send a live or recorded video was not even thought to be on the drawing board by most people, while reality is, that in 1990 in Brazil, they were already doing live video over the internet... USA was limited to what was available with America Online, AOL, a Free Service, with eternal promotional introductory accounts offered through US Postal Service even if you never asked for a disc to be sent to you.

That is example of USA being intentionally throttled with sub-wiz-bang tech when others had the super-wiz-bang tech. but did not say so, it was secret super-wiz-bang high tech in Brazil, no one mentioned any of it to USA.

Another example is the Ford Bronco for 2021, and is only one example of many thousands of similar automotive design throttling from “On-High” Vatican/British command HQ. That Ford Bronco for 2021 was designed and completed, ready for market in 2000, Twenty one years ago. I can‘t prove it, but there are people who could if only they were able to see that the tech is developed, used by the terror army secretly for a long time, then later, is introduced into the markets for consumer use, while next generation super-wiz-bang high tech is being used secretly, the consumers think they have the latest new technology, and so does the law enforcement and public safety agencies, but reality is that the Vatican terror has the next generation tech for private use. Public safety is using sub-wiz-bang tech that was developed twenty years ago, told it’s the latest, most advanced equipment, but the terror army is using hidden, private, super-tech that swallows up that old/new equipment that USA is protected with.

It’s sort of like if you have a nice, useful box to keep things in, but the terror bastards have a Pandora’s Box where they keep their stuff, and that one has “Thing” from Adams Family inside, and can reach up from below the inside of your useful box where you keep your stuff, and take all of it without ever opening your useful box, or Pandora’s Box.

Another view of the same kind of idea is the “Bar Code” printed on grocery items specifically in 1970 in California. At that time, the grocery products all were required to have a bar code printed on them in California, it was 1970, there were no computers anywhere yet, the grocery stores did not even have electronic cash registered yet, it was all manual like old typewriters work, but the bar code was mandatory printed on the grocery products. The actual scanning device did not show up for another ten years or more, depending on geographic locations when trying to figure out exactly when the grocery scanner showed up in your neck of the woods for reading the bar codes that were printed on the packages ten years earlier.

In the event that someone with real authority is paying attention, please consider the Smart Meter, a device on every home and business that has a cell-phone-like wireless connection to places unknown built right in to them. That, and the meter is connected to every outlet in the house with wire, where we plug in a lot of mysterious little black boxes that were provided in the tech the we bought in the 1990′s and around the turn of the twenty-first century. Consider the logic with those mystery boxes, the power that comes to the home is AC power, it reaches a transformer at the place where the power enters your house or business outside at the Power Drop, each building is served by it’s own transformer, so, that’s expensive already to change AC to DC power for us to use at home or office, is not a small thing that all structures are served by their own personal, individual transformer on a pole nearby the electric meter. Then, illogically, those black boxes that are attached to the electronic gadgets we all purchase, are said to be for transforming the power for the device they serve, back to AC power the way it was in the power grid before the AC was changed to DC, and its all done in a world where the tech is intentional throttled for about ten years. So, what do mysterious little black boxes and Smart Meters have in common? What differences do they have? And can a vibration or digital signal from a black box be converted and sent through the smart meter invisibly, backwards to the power Smart Meter, while everyone is busily concerned with Smart Phones, not Smart Meters? The reality is that the Smart Meter is a Smart Phone, disguised as a means to measure consumption of power.

The secret knowledge about consumption of power is that when we use electricity, it’s Amperes that are drawn and consumed, not the Watts we are charged for. The devices draw Amperes (Amps). The Watts are the product of output, not input of consumption. We should be charged for the Amperes that are drawn from the power grid, not charged for the benefit produced by the electrical device, which is the Watt. Our products we use that consume electricity never used one single Watt, they produce Watts. The products consume Ampers, not Watts. The Watt is the measure of the functionality of the work done by the electric devices we use.

The Power Corporations are Government Subsidized Utility providers who are billing us for the functionality we gain from the electrical devices we use, not for the amount of electricity they draw from the power grid.

There is some kind of magic super-wiz-bang high tech inside of the Smart Meters. I suspect that some of it’s functionality is associated with that older tech we bought so much of ten to fifteen years ago with those small black DC to AC transformers on them, something internationally put into those black boxes on the electric gadgets, in anticipation of the Smart Meter later on, where and when that functionality could be harnessed as listening devices, and now, there is next generation of that stuff.

Besides all of that, the Smart Meters on all of the buildings are serving as a base of a miniature cellular telephone service grid where each Smart Meter is capable of receiving a signal from a passing terror soldier, and bouncing that signal to the next Smart Meter, short range signal broadcasting and receiving, daisy chained wirelessly, covertly, to provide the Pope with a well connected army of Crusaders who are also able to listen to what is happening inside of our homes or offices, and, can rebroadcast that, eternally, over the Smart Meter Blu-tooth Communication grid that exists everywhere now, is accessible with iPhone or Android with special hidden software apps. “♫ ♪ He knows when you are sleeping, he knows when you’re awake, he knows when you do laundry, take a shower, have sex, are busy with some kind of emergency, at home or away.... etc. and so on.

That’s a big disadvantage for public safety officers who never learned about the importance of tonality.

now we have LED lightbulbs. The Carpenter has been building this scaffold to stand on to warn against the dangers of the high tech in all of it’s forms, and the people who control it, but the scaffold keeps getting bigger, while there are ever fewer people that can see the carpenter, the scaffold, or that he has an important message.

There must be a good reason why there are no incandescent lightbulbs available at the Walmart, they only have specialty incandescent’s there. You have to go to a hardware store to get incandescent bulbs.

I already learned the hard way about the listening devices built into the early models of spiral fluorescent lightbulbs, those did not require the Smart Meter to broadcast the signal, they had tiny transmitters built in. Latest high terror tech only needs the same tech that is in a guitar pick-up to be broadcast over the Smart Meter Daisy Chain network. There are “EMG” style guitar pick-up tech also, those require a battery, so they say, but when I used mine without the battery, the guitar still worked, as if there was no battery required to operate the EMG style of new fangled tech. The EMG style is bullshit, I was a fool, and got some, when I did, the guitar guru at Guitar Center, stole my magnetic old tech pick-ups, then claimed that they were not there, lied, blamed me, now, I can‘t put the magnetic old style back in the guitar, in the event that the terror army ever allows me to play guitar again.

================

7:02 pm:

Christian terror soldiers are trained at the church to hear tonality, to know about chorus, delay, echo, compression, flange, standard guitar tuning and Drop D tuning and more, even though the vast majority of terror soldiers are forbidden to touch a musical instrument, they are still required to know the basics.

Seriously, the Christian army is trained to call out what note a fart is dealt with.

7:21 pm:

More about the Edge of Seventeen performance at Woodstock in 1998:

At the end of the song, Stevie Nicks explains a lot of truth in coded words. She talks about a helicopter, about San Francisco, about not arriving by car, about a hearing the roar of the crowd, is really the sound of maimed doves in cage, can’t get away, nowhere to go... trapped, crying for help, everyone who might be able to help them only hear what they believe is singing....

She is wearing gold.

It’s a big deal that she’s wearing gold and mentions San Francisco, where the Golden Gate Bridge is at.

Some of what she is saying is about D’Addario instrument strings. It turns out that they make and sell a lot more than strings, I didn‘t know that until just now.

https://www.daddario.com/

An internet search with Bing for this:

“D'Addario bridge back side package art”

... produces a lot of other stuff, including “The Guardian”, but not what I am looking for.

I am looking for the bridge that D’Addario has been putting on the back side of the guitar strings packages they make for longer than I know... and I know about the past twenty-four years about that confounded bridge. I also know that other guitar players like to point at the bridge art on the D’Addario package, but they don‘t want to say why it’s important, or why they point out the D’Addario Bridge.

Mesa Engineering is nearby there. Makers of Mesa Boogie, in Petaluma California, the “Arm Wrestling Championship of the World” is held in Petaluma, annually.... there are more than one kind of arm wrestling to consider with that.

Mesa Engineering was added to the Gibson Family of Brands this past week or so, according to email promotions, it’s said that Gibson acquired Mesa Engineering. My memory is not the same as what I read in the email about the founder of Mesa Engineering. They told of a man who had a different name than the person I recall... there seems to be a name mixup regarding who the founder of Mesa Engineering is, who wired up the fist Mesa Boogie’s back in the day. I visited Mesa Engineering in the 1970′s along with Carlos Santana and some other musicians, I was held captive, had been kidnapped, and was forced to ride the whole way in my underwear so I wouldn‘t try the run away when we stopped along the way, from San Fernando Valley to Petaluma, or there about. I remember stopping at a grocery store, where Carlos set up a Mesa amp on the way home, and played guitar at the entrance to the grocery store for awhile. I also recall there was a small workshop, white building out in a field on a hill where we went to meet the man who had wired up the first Mesa Boogie amplifiers. I don‘t recall much more.

But I wanted to say that the Bridge on the D’Addario package back is so important that the internet won’t show it. You need to actually have some strings to look at the package that has the bridge, and that only gives some specifics about tension strength, measured in pounds. Stevie makes reference to San Francisco, and other subtle ways to make me think about Mesa Boogie, Petaluma, D’Addario, Pharmers, and Gold.

That, and the giant blender that was used to grind up the concert goers at the Catskill Mountains event called Woodstock 1998.

Stevie Nicks might have went to the same MKUltra School as I did in around 1970. I met her once since then... 1998-2002-ish in Oregon. That was a time when I was I was held in a weird confinement in my home, Eastwood Guitars, Zakk Wild, Dean Zelinsky, others, all were people associated with the Boeing Seattle hijacking at about the same time period,1998 or there about. Dean Zelinsky would have been the reason I met Stevie back then in around 1999 or so. He is a super colossal asshole deluxe, may have been holding Stevie captive somewhere else at the time. Zelinsky is dead, killed at the Walmart in the cookies aisle, in defense about two years ago... it’s all written down here on this tumblr account somewhere.

===========

Old Woodstock... I was there, stayed with family who lived about a few miles away, could hear the music from the house in the Catskill Mountains. The video does not match my memory however.

8:45 pm:

Black & White Tile Floors, and Knighthood:

Terror takeover in California included Knights, and those who were selected to be Knighted, were sometimes anointed at a Social Order Club.

The thing I want to remind about is that there is a ceremony, and a photo of the anointing when done at a Social Order Club. The one featured in the photo is not the Knighted one, the photo is taken of an actor from SAG, who poses for the photo op. The real Knight keeps the photo as a keepsake. The real Knight is not photographed.

There are other anointing ways, that is one way when done in California at a place with black & white tile floors in 1978 or thereabout.

Those who point a photo to say they were anointed, are lying. That is the purpose of the photo.

==================

9:17 pm:

Local Update:

First, it might be important to say something about the Symantec Security product I use. I pay for Norton 360, I actually have Symantec Life Lock. There is no way for me to obtain the Norton 360, if I do, all I get is Symantec Life Lock. I don‘t like the name Life Lock.

When I go to take a walk outside, there is a message on a pop up window when I return from the walk that says: “The Performance Tasks Are Complete”. The message only seems to show up as I am entering the house after having stepped outside. The message: “Norton is performing background tasks while your computer is idle” shows up only when I am having diner, and seems to be operated by the light switch on the wall that operates the light bulb for the stairway, maybe is better to say “second floor lightbulb”. If I turn on that stairwell light, the one that is on the ceiling of the second floor, then, the “background tasks” message shows up on my computer screen.

Outside, over the past few hours, I went out briefly a few times, there was someone wearing a white robe standing by a white van that’s in my yard, then suddenly was no longer there when I went to have a closer look. That is what reminded me about the Knighthood thing, seeing that person there in the darkness wearing a Ku Klux Klan style robe and hood like Janice Freeberg wears.

There is some kind of activity at Strongs and Chapman’s tonight that is different than usual. It includes that there is a red lightbulb in that direction that’s visible as soon as I get onto my front walkway, is about 1,500 feet away, I can see it through the woods to the west, I don‘t like seeing red lights, the terror bastards use them, they install a red light somewhere and it becomes a normal fixture that I get accustomed to seeing always there, then, they turn that red light light off, in favor of a shooter with a red laser in that direction. It’s difficult to know if the laser is the usual red light, or is a red laser replacement w/shooter over there. Tonight the red laser w/shooter was present, and the regular red bulb was not turned on. There was some other activity at Strongs and at Chapmans with vehicles moving around, and that is when I saw the robe in my front yard about fifty feet from my front door. now the red light is back to it’s usual condition, is on, and is waiting for the next shooter w/laser scope to come by for taking a shot at me. I heard some sounds from that direction, none were what I would say is the sound of a gunshot. The people at Centurylink are using the Life Lock Performance message pop-up to make contact with the robed assassin had the assassin been successful. In that case, the assassin would have been here in my home, at my computer to erase this account. That is why the Centurlylink people send the “Performance Tasks” message, to say they are ready and waiting to gain remote access to my computer so that the Centurylink can do the delete remotely, but they need the assassin to push some buttons in my computer settings first, because I have the remote access disabled.

Earlier than the robed assassin, I saw someone wearing a pixel suit at my front window, it’s not easy to see those, but I did see the hand and the arm as the arm reached for something on the ground just out my front window.

Then later, the last time I stepped out about twenty minutes ago, at Monroe’s, I think someone tripped the sword snare at the pole barn near my driveway. I heard all of the tell tail sounds, the sound of cardboard boxes fumbling around is the same kind of sound made when the skeet-shooter that is modified as a killing device with a sword attached where the skeet would otherwise be, goes off. I heard that, and some sounds of the head flying into the creek, and rolling down the hill, about fifty feet away from the sword/skeet snare. So, that happened, everything is per normal. Red lasers and heads flying as the Grimm Freeberg looks on while clutching a sickle.

Once again, there are traps and snares all over the place around here, don‘t just go stumbling around in Oregon, bad idea to do that. In case you have not been paying attention, the whole state has been taken over by a terror army from Canada. They make the state look as though nothing is wrong and everything is perfect, that’s the modern warfare way... just make it look perfect, and wait for the victims to let their guard down.

Oregon is not part of USA anymore, it looks like it is on Google Maps, but, that is just a geographic circumstance associated with where Oregon physically is at. They did not pick it up and carry it away, so, Oregon still looks like it’s part of USA due to geographic complications, is all.

That skeet shooter/spring loaded snare has a sword on it, it swings at neck high. I managed to have a look at it a couple of times enough to come to conclusion that it is a skeet shooter, clay pidgeon thrower, and the sword is attached to the arm that throws the pidgeon. That, seems to be followed with some kind of a bat, or club, such that when the sword cuts at the neck, the bat or club then smacks the victims head out into left field, goes about fifty feet, down into a gully, every time. They get a lot of mileage out of that snare at Monroe’s. There are others too, one that cuts at waist high, I don‘t know how that one works though, and there is another in the front entry door at Monroe’s that I can only hear when some federal fool goes stumbling around without reading this account to know that it’s fucking dangerous around here. I suspect there are other snares at Monroe terror cell. I know of three of them. There is no law enforcement, or public safety to call about that, they are the ones who installed the spring loaded snares at Monroe’s terror cell. There are the same kinds of spring loaded snares set up at the Sheriff’s office on F Street, behind the Walmart, inside of the sheriff’s office, as explained in great detail on this account, I think the most recent time I discussed those sheriff grade garage spring snares was sometime shortly after June 15 2020, but there are many places here where I tell about sheriff grade garage door spring style wire snares installed at and inside of the sheriff’s office, on F St.

More fakery done by the local authorities includes that the terror bastards have bent over a lot of small trees on my property so they can point at small bent over trees to convince federal fools that the bent trees in my yard are snares and traps. I can’t go outside long enough to cut the bent trees away because the local authorities will shoot me if I stay out side for more than a few minutes, I certainly cannot use a chainsaw to cut those away, that will make so much noise that a thousand terror soldiers will show up for knowing that I am within range, and occupied with a distractive project of clearing away the bent trees that look like traps because the sheriff sent Dietrick over to make them look that way for fooling the federal officers, who insist on being fooled, all of the time no matter how many of them are killed by the local authorities.

Note

Oh! Can I see the notes for Golf War? I think that will be cute! :)

Oh nice choice! Then you’ll be able to see just how many times I tried to squeeze that shipping foreshadowing in there lol:

Characters: Mabel, Connie, Pacifica, Dipper, Steven, Lilputtians, Stan, Soos, Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, Mr. and Mrs. Northwest

Setting: Golf course

Episodes to look at: Golf War

Tone: humor, friendship, action

Start casually, with Dipper, Steven, and Connie hanging out at the Mystery Shack, have some banter with Stan in here for a bit (some original stuff)

After a while, Mabel comes in, excited about an article she had printed in the town paper about summer fashions; her excitement is quickly ruined however after seeing that her article was replaced with one by Pacifica

After a little talk about Pacifica (have Connie in particular voice her disdain for her), Dipper and Steven get the idea to cheer Mabel up by taking her to play mini-golf

At the mini-golf course, show the gang playing (and that Steven invited the Gems to come along (and that Garnet is wearing Greg’s golf pants, for comedy)), have some fun interactions in here, but mostly show that Mabel’s skill at the game far surpasses everyone else’s, though Connie’s also quite good at it (her parents enrolled her in a mini-golf camp one summer)

However, Mabel’s success in the game is soon undermined as Pacifica shows up and demonstrates her own skill; have some unique interactions in here as she insults both the Pines and the Gems (specifically give some interactions between her, the Gems, Steven, and especially Connie (maybe even start an argument)

Frustrated, both Mabel and Connie decide to challenge Pacifica to a mini-golf off; she accepts, but since its closing time, they have to postpone it

The entire collective group goes to wait at a restaurant, so have some fun interactions there; while Connie is incensed and ready to beat Pacifica (an intent that Dipper wholly agrees with), Mabel is worried about their chances of winning

In this, make sure to have Steven and the Gems offer their support, and also kickstart the B plot with Amethyst suggesting they get even with Pacifica for her cruel words by vandalizing her mansion; While Stan is more than on board for this (reference Revenge Trip), Garnet and Pearl are quick to shoot it down

After a while of this, Dipper suggests to Mabel and Connie that they get in some last minute practice before the match by breaking into the golf course; they do so, and be sure to not only keep Stan encouraging Mabel but also have a little of the Gems cheering Connie on

As the adults leave the kids to practice, show how neither Mabel nor Connie are having too much success on their respective problem holes, even despite the boys trying to help and cheer them on

After this goes on for a while, however, the boys start to spectate that something might be wrong; upon taking a closer look at the hole, the kids discover a race of small, miniature golf-ball creatures operating the mechanics of the holes behind the scenes (show the kids’ respective reactions to this)

These creatures introduce themselves as the Lilliputians and explain that they control the balls for each course they also set up that each hole is controlled by a different faction, all of which are competing to do their job the best

As the kids watch this conflict between them unfold, they can’t help but find it rather adorable (though Mabel and Steven do try to get them to stop fighting); the Lillputtians uphold that their rivalry can’t end until they determine which group is the best

As the Lillputtians notice the sticker Stan gave Mabel, they all want it, as they think it would symbolize which group is superior; at this, Connie and Dipper come up with the idea to use this conflict to their advantage against Pacifica, even if Steven and Mabel believe this is cheating (though they decide to go along with it in the end, Steven more begrudgingly so)

Include the scene with Pacifica and her parents as she arrives at the golf course (with her trainer, Sergei; however, before she goes in, have her pass by Stan, Soos, and the Gems, who are waiting for the kids out in the parking lot; she dryly insults them once more

Offended, this finally prompts Garnet and Pearl to agree with Amethyst and Stan about vandalizing the Northwest Mansion; with their plan in mind, the group sets out with the plan to make it back long before the kids are done

Have a little confrontational dialogue between Mabel, Pacifica, and Connie before the competition begins; go into something of a montage as the Lillputtians help Mabel and Connie from behind the scenes, giving them the lead, much to Pacifica’s anger (include the Big Henry thing in here)

As the girls start to show favoritism towards other Lillputtians, the windmill group theorizes that they can ultimately gain their favor by taking out Pacifica altogether; with this plan in mind, they kidnap her (comedically)

In the midst of this, cut to Stan, Soos, and the Gems briefly, as they’re in the middle of grafiting the exterior wall of the Northwest Mansion; have some humor with Stan and Amethyst’s skill at doing things like this compared to everyone else’s especially Pearl

However, they soon get spotted, prompting them to use their respective skills to escape just in time

Back at the golf course, the kids are assured that either Mabel or Connie are going to win in the end (though show that Mabel and Steven are a little regretful over having used such dishonest methods to get there, even if Dipper and Connie certainly aren’t)

However, their levity is cut short as the windmill Lillputtians reveal that they’ve kidnapped Pacifica and plan to kill her to gain Mabel and Connie’s favor; before the stunned kids can really react, the pirate Lillputtians reveal that they’ve captured Sergei and are ready to dispose of him as well

As another huge argument erupts between the Lillputtians, show the kids conversing among themselves about what do to about it; while Connie isn’t entirely convinced that they should save Pacifica, given her behavior, Mabel believes the exact opposite, prompting her to cut into the ongoing conflict

After refusing to give any of the Lillputtians the sticker, Mabel realizes that rivalries are senseless overall, thematically connecting to her own rivalry with Pacifica (in the middle of this, show Connie coming around the idea a little, but make sure she still maintains her disdain for Pacifica)

Mabel ends the struggle for the sticker altogether by stating that none of the Lillputtians are worthy of it before eating it, much to their appalled shock

Still, the Lillputtians do decide to finally team up, but only for the sake of reclaiming the sticker from Mabel

As chaos starts to unfold, the kids leap into action; while Steven, Dipper, and Connie fend off the revolting Lillputtians, Mabel rescues Pacifica (have some important interaction here) and she joins in on the fight as well Side note: Maybe include a little foreshadowing in this ongoing action scene hinting towards Dipper and Connie learning sword fighting later on (have them save Steven or something)

Make this action scene fast paced and fun as the kids hurry to escape from the golf course; they eventually make it out (save for Sergei)

Outside of the course, have some interactions between Mabel and Pacifica and Connie too (again, be sure to show that Connie still doesn’t harbor good feelings towards her, to lead into NWMM)

As Stan and the Gems return, have some more interactions (that end with the Gems returning to the temple and instructing Steven and Connie to get a ride back with the twins)

As it starts to rain, Mabel offers Pacifica a ride home as well (even if both Dipper and Connie are against it); Pacifica begrudgingly accepts, so be sure to maintain the importance of this scene, up the contrast between Mabel and Pacifica, maybe include more interactions (maybe a little inflection for Pacifica) Side note: Have interactions in this chapter between Dipper and Pacifica specially that might vaguely hint at their eventually romance (even if it is in irony)

As they make it to the Northwest Mansion, show the vandalism Stan and the Gems did (and have Stan coyly deny any of it)

Regardless, Pacifica dryly thanks them for the ride before heading inside; in the middle of this, the kids speculate if their conflict with Pacifica has ended, only for them to get a glimpse of her very lavish lifestyle

End the chapter on a note of humor implying that things will largely stay the same; (have the very end show a Lillputtian clinging onto the car as it drives off, vowing revenge

Cryptogram (Rev. Ceasar):

A rival now might someday beA closer friend than enemy

Why is my dog eating grass? Is my dog seriously sick or is this normal?

What is the Number 1 Reason dogs eat grass?

Imagine you go for a walk with your dogs, and you stop at the park, you meet your friend and you have a chat with your friend and her dog. Last month I meet my friend at the dog park and I could see on her face that something is worrying her. I saw her several times talking to her dog Ceasar, bad dog Ceasar no grass eating. A bit surprised I look at her and ask her what is wrong with her dog eating grass. I can tell you if she could have shot me with her eyes she would have. Then she tells me that Ceasar her dog eating grass again. She asks me if I think that her dog is sick because of eating grass again. I answered her no nothing wrong with it. I laugh and talk to my friend that this is normal. But she thinks something is wrong with Ceasar. Sometimes dogs need that. I could not convince her, the next day she went to the veterinarian they tested Cesar and little Cesar is totally healthy. ( Ceasar is a Beatle)

Dogs, Nature and the Environment.

All my life I have had dogs and I have never seen any dog who is not eating grass. My grandmother used to say when dogs eat grass it means it is going to storm and rain. I found that always funny and could never understand what is the meaning of that saying. I believe that dogs eat grass because of the chlorophyll that is plenty in the grass. Chlorophyll absorbs all the toxins in the body. So I guess it is like a detox for them. Went on the World Wide Web and the only thing I could find is this about "dog eating grass." Farmers Almanac about a dog eating grass. It states when dogs eat grass you can expect a severe storm. It is the Almanac Farmers Calendar. It also says... Dogs will eat at some point some grass and some dog they love the greens in the diet. Maybe it is fibre they need or the taste but I guess some goes back into the evolution of a dog. I know a lot of experts will now shake their head, but I believe an animal follows an instinct and takes that what feels good. It is different for us human. Most of us have lost our gut feeling or so-called Instinct. Dogs have been domesticated in the early centuries. Well, nothing of this has something to do with this old wife’s tale. But if any of you can shed light on it please feel free to let us know.

Is there any harm in my dog eating grass?

I honestly can tell you no. From my experience, all my dogs ate grass and most of our dogs lived a long life. Our Dachshund loved grass and he was 22 when he died. ( as long as it is not poison grass or it is sprayed with pesticides.) It is up to if you should let your dog eat grass.

Sometimes a multivitamin helps your dog if he is lacking in nutrition.

A Healthy Diet will not prevent your dog eating grass.

Dogs eat all meat, grass, fruits and veggies. According to History dogs eat their food whenever they could get it. In the wild dogs will eat grass on a regular base just to supplement their nutrition. It is also a fact that most grass types are not poison and a dog will not throw up if the dog is healthy. The funny thing is what I can see on my dogs they have different preferences on which grass they eat or prefer. I guess grass does taste good to dogs otherwise they would not eat it. Maybe it tastes like a fresh green salad to us it tastes to dogs.

Is it true that when a dog has an upset stomach, that is the "why" dogs eat grass?

Sometimes dogs eat grass when they have an upset stomach. It is a natural reaction or calls it instinct. It helps them obviously to vomit easier. Healthy dogs when they eat grass they do not throw up. Veterinarians believe that sometimes dogs eat grass when they want to induce vomiting.

There is nothing wrong with a healthy dog eating grass.

Even if your dog has a well-balanced diet, it will still go for the green grass on a regular basis. There is nothing wrong with it, as long there is no pesticide on the grass.

Dog Nutrition has nothing to do with it that dogs eat grass, this is my opinion, and I believe a dog knows for whatever reason it wants to eat grass it will eat grass. Dogs are so highly domesticated and pure breeds are so manipulated that some dogs don't even know they are a dog anymore. No one can say for sure why dogs eat grass but I believe it is a kind of nutrient they need and get from the grass, what we cannot provide in their daily nutrition. Can you answer the question why is it then that dog eat grass? I honestly have to say no. Dogs enjoy the taste of grass differently than other dogs. Some dogs take a mouthful and some just nibble on a few blades of grass. Keep in mind that dogs eat things that disgust the human owner. Like dirty socks and gristle from the trash can. Some dogs can eat constantly, and some dogs don’t eat much. The evolution of dogs is as omnivores and scavengers. If you think about when a dog has to hunt in the wild most of the animals eat animals that plant eater like rabbits, squirrels, birds etc. and maybe because of their prey they get used to the taste and adopted it. What should I feed my Dog, shall I change the Diet... I feed my dogs with home cooked dog food that includes meat and veggies they do have a balanced diet but all of our dogs eat grass. Each of our dogs has their preferences to grass. I do not know about wolves if they eat grass but I know from living in Africa that lions eat grass when they can find it. Even people believe a dog will eat grass to cure himself. In my opinion, think as long a dog is healthy and eats grass it is ok. There is no solid evidence that eating grass is bad or good for your dog. If you feel your dog is missing some Vitamins and Minerals you can use supplements. What I would watch out for is that if your dog is throwing up each time after eating grass, then have a look at his vomit what comes out with it. Please see then your veterinarian.

Why does my dog eat grass then throw up?

Bring your dog to a veterinarian if your dog is throwing up to many times when eating grass. Sometimes he might have some parasites and he is trying to get rid of this parasites by throwing up. It is always good to keep an eye on you’re the dog when eating grass, you might also check which grass your dog prefers or which grass makes him vomit. As different grass has a different effect on dogs. No, I am not kidding, I can see my dogs each of them choosing different grass varieties. My German Shepard, for example, chooses the soft leave grass like the dandelion. My other Labrador loves the cat bamboo I bought for my cats. When dogs vomit constantly each time they eat grass you should have a checkup with your dog at your veterinarian. Only your veterinarian can check and knows if your dog might have a gastrointestinal disease that will be done through a physical exam of your dog. He will properly also takes blood to check his blood count. Blood counts will tell if your dog has inflammation or indicates a blood loss into the GI tract. For the chemistry panel, it will assess the health checks, the body stems that include pancreas and liver. Liver and pancreas are associated with the gastrointestinal tract. Save money with your vet bills and vet medication. Check it out how you can save a lot of $$$$ Click on the picture below.

In case there is something wrong with your dog, proper treatment can be done and if nothing is wrong then your dog is just doing what a dogs instinct is telling him to do.

Is there any health risk for my dog eating grass.

When dogs eat grass to make sure they are in a place they do not use pesticide. As pesticide on grass can actually poison your dog. If you can and have the place for it you might want to plant a small tray of grass just for your dog or start a small herbal garden. This might be a great idea for people who have pets in apartments. On the other hand, it will give your dog an alternative to eating outdoor grass and landscaping as you never know how it has been treated. Indigestion of pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers and or chemicals can be devastating and harmful for your dog. I go with my dogs always to places I know there will be no pesticides or any other harmful substances used. The same goes when you fertilize your grass in the springtime, make sure you use organic fertilizer and not chemical one that can poison pets.

If you should allow your Dog eating grass that is up to you. There is nothing wrong with a dog eating grass. In many ways when dogs eat grass, this is normal and you don’t need to be alarmed. Unless you see a rapid increase like your dog is eating grass frantically and you notice a change in your dog's behaviour. When you have the feeling your dog is eating more grass than before. See your Veterinarian better safe than sorry. It is also confirmed by most experts that when dog eat grass it does not poses any risk to the dog. Be cautious that when your dog eats grass the grass is clean and no one has used chemical substances of any kind. There is grass for dogs available. If you live in an apartment or have no outside space that is a good solution. If you cannot find it, just plant some grass in a bigger bucket on your balcony. When you have a puppy watch out how much grass it takes in as too much grass and leaves can cause blockages and gastritis. Especially a teething puppy tends to chew more. It is like a baby. My dogs and cats have their own area in our home garden with herbs and different kind of grass varieties. Our pets have a well-balanced diet but they still munch away on different types of grass. Our cats have the cat bamboo and our dogs love them too. Even the cat grass our dogs love and munch away. Our cats are not so happy about it but lucky we have a big garden. Is your dog eating grass and how comfortable are you with that? Please share your experience and your tricks on how do you grow the grass for your dog living in an apartment.

I'm Here For Him

Alexander laid in what was becoming a pool of rain water and his blood. Eyes open. Staring at an upside down angle. Grace was near by holding her chest and silently crying when she noticed the heartbreak on Elijah's face. She politely said excuse me as she gently pushed through the crowd to get to the Steeples. "Hey Trinity...this must be your parents...did you all know this young man?" Everyone stood in silence. "I wanna talk to him." Elijah whispered. "Im sorry what?" Judith shot a side eye at her husband. "Baby we need to go...this is too much and im worried about where this may take your stress level I don't want you having another stroke...we can help pay for the funeral and all but lets just go. Lets get you home." Clearing his throat and fixing his tie he repeated him self. "I wanna talk to him." Never seeing her father in this state Trinity tried to reason with him. "Daddy he's gone you cant talk to him. We need to get you home and in bed." Fighting tears and frustration Elijah lost all patience. "Since when do I listen to yall? I been leading this family 25 years and I done damn good at it!" They knew he was upset because Elijah didn't curse. He always told them there are too many words to resort to the bad ones. "That was my son. He has my eyes. He was supposed to come home with us. With Peanut. I know hes grown but I was ready to raise him. I was gonna show my boy real love. He was right about me. I should have tried harder. And I just wanna talk to him. It aint been long. His spirit is still near this realm and he can hear me." Respecting the honesty and understanding the pain, Trinity nodded while Judith held his hand tight, giving the signal that she was with him in his decision. "I can take these two to the car." Grace took the wheelchair from the escort and Judith gave her the keys and pointed to the car they arrived in. "Kiss him for me daddy...he was a good person deep down...im sure of it." Trinity sadly reassured her father. "Sure thing princess." He let out a tiny chuckle as he kissed her forehead before wiping a tear. As Grace turned the corner pushing Trinity and Peanut away, Elijah walked to the Monte Carlo that was now wrapped in yellow tape. "This is our son. And I need to talk to him." Elijah spoke with the authority of the president, as he made his voice heard. The police hesitated, but saw the look in his eyes that they didn't want to test. "5 minutes We gotta call his next of kin that's in the system...its not you but...I will allow it....5 minutes only though...don't push it.... Its a crime scene until the medical examiner confirms this was a suicide. Sorry for your loss." The officer spoke with his head down in remorse lifting up the tape, allowing Judith and Elijah to crawl under. Unable to avoid the puddle of spreading blood Elijah's foot made a small ripple beside his sons head. He bent down on his knees with Judith still holding his hand and closed Alexanders eyes. "Im so sorry son. Forgive me please. Come see me in my dreams. Let me know you crossed over alright. I will never stop wanting you. And I will never forget you." He wept uncontrollably as he traced the features of his sons face with the back of his hand. "I love you my boy. Yo daddy loves you." He bent down and gave him the kiss Trinity put in her request for. "That's from your sister. She said you a good person. Almost like you two already met.....don't forget to visit me son...i'll be waiting." Elijah gave Alexanders mocha skin one last touch. He gave a quick salute to the officers as a thank you, and headed for the car. Grace and Trinity were laughing about funny African names the escort nurse had suggested when they spotted the couple approaching the silver Stationwagon. "Welp I gotta get inside im sure a few of these nurses need to talk about what just happened. Trinity has my number you guys call me anytime." She smiled waving as she stepped away. "Yall ok? We leaving?" Trinity asked hoping she wouldn't get fussed at for being so anxious. She hated to see the police. It made her feel guilty. If she didn't set Shawn up Alexander would be alive. He wouldn't have a reason to be at the hospital. "I didn't even get his name." Elijah said to Judith. "Yea babe I don't think he ever said it." Judith tried to recall. "Alexander." Trinity spoke out loud while remembering the moment the mask came off. "What? He aint say that did he?" Elijah turned to the backseat. "Yea he did." Trinity lied. "Uhh...I guess Yall just aint hear him." She said pretending her seatbelt wouldn't click just to avoid eye contact. "Hmm. Alexander." Judith repeated. Elijah chose not to speak. He switched the music from Shirley Ceasar to Rance Allen, and began to pull out of the parking lot. As the car circled around the scene where Alexander took his life Trinity heard a familiar voice. She had heard that loud voice before. It was giving her chills. "Daddy, stop stop!" She patted her fathers shoulder. "Whats wrong Trin?" Judith asked. "Just wait here im coming right back!" Jumping out of the car leaving her parents puzzled, Trinity followed the sound of the familiar voice. "GET OUT MY FUCKIN WAY BITCH I DONT GIVE A DAMN! JUST MOVE BEFORE I PUNCH YO ASS IN THE FACE!" Trinity saw through the flashing lights the officers trying to restrain a woman dressed in red and black. Long hair that was black and curly just like Alexanders. "Ma'am stop or I will arrest you!" The officer demanded. "FUCK YOU SLIME ASS PIGS! I JUST WANT YOU TO MOVE SO I CAN GET THROUGH GOT DAYUM!" Tired of her unruly behavior the biggest officer came forth and the woman was slammed face down on the patrol car. As she got closer Trinity decided she wanted to help. Until her memory made her put a face on that familiar voice. Every memory of Shawn came rushing back so fast she almost fainted. "OOOOH AND YOU!! BITCH IM STILL GON BEAT YO ASS! WHILE YOU LOOKING DITSY AND DAZED!" Trinity forced her mind out of memory lane and realized the woman was talking to her. Squinting her eyes in disbelief, she fell in utter confusion. "Shawns wife??!" She shouted. "Oooh aint God good!! I need a bitch to strangle I got plenty problems built up!" Trinity forgot she had just given birth. "Hoe why you here on my brother scene? You wanna beat who?" She removed her earrings and threw them to the ground. "Bitch I will kill YOU! You aint pregnant this time I will drag you through the streets! What the fuck you doing here?! You came for me? Im here bitch and Im ready to tear some ass up lets rock bitch!" Trinity pulled her hair up and put her set up. "Girl fuck yo skank ass! You see this pig got me bent up I cant tag you but I will and that's on my kids! And you can have Shawn I aint finna marry that crippled mufukka! And why you keep saying YOUR brother? I don't wana know a single member of the hyena family that raised yo ugly ass!" The woman spat back. Trinity put her set down, thinking about how foolish it would be to fight in front of the police. And besides. The bitch was bent up. The officer had one arm in a chicken wing while his elbow sunk in the back of her neck. "So what monkey ass? Why you here?" Trinity folded her arms. "Making a fool outta yoself." She said as she looked disgusted. Rolling her eyes the woman smacked her teeth. "Because BITCH if you must know..." she struggled to breathe from the pressure of the police on top of her. "The man on the ground is MY brother. We were born 6 minutes apart. I'm his twin!" She took a deep breathe still struggling for air. "Im not here for you...Im here for him....."

Florida Insider Poll finds doubt Democrats will nominate strongest candidate

https://uniteddemocrats.net/?p=3759

Florida Insider Poll finds doubt Democrats will nominate strongest candidate

The verdict is clear among Florida’s political elites as to who would be the strongest gubernatorial nominees for the general election: Democrat Gwen Graham and Republican Adam Putnam.

But among more than 200 Florida political experts participating in the latest Florida Insider poll, the verdict is much less clear about whom the Democrats are likely to nominate.

Nearly six in 10 of the campaign professionals, money-raisers, lobbyists, activists, and political scientists surveyed said former U.S. Rep. Graham of Tallahassee would be the strongest general election candidate for the Democrats.

Putnam is heavily favored to win not just the Republican primary but the general election as well.

Only 42 percent expect Graham to win the primary pitting her against four other men. Most, 51 percent, predict the nominee will be Miami beach businessman Philip Levine, who has spent about $10 million of his own money on TV ads airing for months that have launched him into first place in early polls.

“Levine in many ways is perceived as the front runner and rightfully so. He has been spending money wisely on tv but also has quietly built a strong and robust field presence- especially in Tampa and south Florida. Many democrats would make their peace with him mainly because he has he money to self finance his run, allowing money to be spread around to save Nelson, put the state senate in a posture to be flipped to the Dems and flip a Congressional seat or 3,” said a Republican.

Less than 6 percent of those surveyed predicted any of the other credible Democrats running — Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum, Greene, or Winter Park businessman Chris King –would win the nomination.

On the Republican side, an overwhelming 87 percent said Agriculture Commissioner Putnam would be the strongest Republican for the general election (and 72 percent (77 percent of Republicans) predicted he would beat U.S. Rep. Ron DeSantis in the primary.

Putnam, as part of the GOP establishment in Florida, has far more ties to and friends among the Florida Insiders than DeSantis.

“Putnam will survive the recent problems in his campaign. He has a strong grass roots campaign. You can’t win just being on Fox News,” said one Republican, noting DeSantis’ campaign strategy of relying mainly on Fox News appearances to reach Florida primary voters.

Another Republican: “Adam Putnam holds an almost insurmountable fundraising lead over Ron DeSantis, as well as a huge head start. Putnam will be the Republican nominee because he campaigns, connects with ordinary Floridians on issues Floridians care about, and knows how to win in Florida. DeSantis’ campaign is showing almost no signs of life.

Florida Insider polls are unscientific surveys of people closely involved in the political process – including people working for or actively helping the candidates in question. We allow anonymous comments to encourage frank assessments and answers.

The polls reflect the conventional wisdom of Florida’s political establishment, rather than actual public opinion or reality.

Asked which of the seven major candidates they expected to be Florida’s next governor. Putnam was favored by an overwhelming 47 percent, followed by Graham with 23 percent, Levine with 17 percent, and DeSantis with 7 percent.

“Gwen Graham is the strongest Democrat in a Statewide election,” said a Democrat. :Adam Putnam is the strongest Republican. Graham beats DeSantis, Putnam beats anybody but Graham, Putnam v Graham is close, with a slight edge to Putnam without any headwinds. I can’t predict what the political mood about Trump will be in October.”

Among Republicans, 12 percent foresaw a Gov. Levine and 5 percent a Gov, Graham. Among Democrats 23 percent predicted Putnam will win the general election and 1 percent said DeSantis.

And the Trump factor?

A slight majority, 51 percent, said Trump’s standing with voters will hurt Republicans up and down the ballot “a little,” 17 percent said “not at all,” 16 percent said Trump will hurt other Republicans “a great deal,” and another 16 percent said Trump in the White House will help Republicans on the ballot. Put another way, 16 percent think Trump is helpful to Republican candidates this year, and 68 percent think he will hurt them at least somewhat.

The 218 politicos participating in this month’s Florida Insider poll included 112 Republicans, 89 Democrats, and 17 women and men registered to neither major party. They were:

Tom Alte, Jason Altmire, Gayle Andrews, Scott Arceneaux, Donna Arduin, Dave Aronberg, Rick Asnani, Jon M. Ausman, Roger Austin, Tim Baker, Brian Ballard, Ryan Banfill, Michael Barnett, Scott Barnhart, Rodney Barreto, Ashley Bauman, Alan Becker, Geoffrey Becker, Samuel Bell, Allan Bense, Wayne Bertsch, Ron Bilbao, David Bishop, Stephen Bittel, Greg Blair, Katie Bohnett, Matt Bryan, Bob Buckhorn, Alex Burgos, Dominic M.

Las Vegas (Nevada) to Kanab (Utah) - 1-7 Nov 2017

I (Anna) got an AMAZING deal on our hotel in Vegas - undoubtedly the most comfortable we had stayed in on the trip 😀. After a lot of recent camping, the comfort was welcome.

Sitting around the pool was to figure prominently in our time in Las Vegas! 😁

After parking securely and recovering from the Death Valley heat, we set off in the evening to explore the strip. Walking around Las Vegas was great fun! So much going on! Lights, music, heavy traffic, strange people - it was all a bit of a sensory overload (but in a fun to watch way!) 😉

We walked through many famous casinos including Ceasars Palace, Harrahs, Bellagio and The Venetian. We also saw Mandalay Bay, the scene of a terrible mass-shooting a few weeks previously. The casinos were fun to see!

We are not gamblers so our enjoyment was in watching everything around us. It was interesting to see all the eccentric and sometimes crazy behaviour. We also enjoyed the entertainment available in virtually every casino.

However the highpoint for us was undoubtedly the fountain and music show at The Bellagio, which we loved. We watched the show numerous times.

We also had a great evening in an outdoor bar on the Strip watching a fantastic Game 6 of the World Series of baseball - James' favourite evening in Las Vegas.

Walking around in daylight was great too! Plenty to look at! 😉

Inside The Belaggio there was an incredible "garden". Gorgeous!!

Isn't he cute?!! 😉

The peacocks were amazing - created with real flowers! 😍

Even the lobby was interesting!

We walked for miles - there was always something to see.

Walking around Vegas always guaranteed seeing something funny! 😉

He's good looking, isn't he?!! 😉

Overall we were delighted to see the city but have no real desire to return. It's one of those places that everyone should see once, but for us no need to see a second time 😋 It's definitely cheesy and tacky with just a few too many dodgy people for our liking.

Feeling rested, we left Las Vegas early in the morning to head towards the national parks of Utah. Our first stop in Utah was the small town of Kanab where we planned to stay a few days. From Kanab we would day-trip to the famous national parks of Zion and Bryce Canyon.

We had a 130 second wait at the lights so I took a sneaky photo of James and the sign of our comfy hotel 😉

Riding out of Las Vegas was as chaotic as arriving... Fast and crazy! But thankfully, before too long, we were out of the city and in the desert again.

It was baking hot!

The scenery was fantastic!!

After a few hours on the bike we rode through the town of St. George. We were hungry and luckily we happened upon the best bagel shop in the world!! Delicious! 😊

We still had a couple of hours of riding to do. The heat was getting unbearable! Riding in heat is quite challenging - it's easy to lose concentration.

Thankfully the amazing views kept us occupied! Such a beautiful part of the world!! 😍

We finally arrived in our nice hotel in Kanab and settled in quickly into what was a very small town.

Our first day trip from Kanab was to Zion National Park. It was a beautiful 60km round trip ride from our hotel. The park itself was wonderful - fabulous mountain views from a very deep canyon. We spent all day walking and soaking up the views - awesome!

We left our hotel early - the clouds were casting shadows and making the rocks shine beautifully!

We arrived in Zion National Park, parked up, locked out gear and rushed to get on a bus. We'd heard of unbelievable queues but thankfully, it wasn't one of those days!

We installed ourselves on the bus - it's nice when somebody else does the driving 😉

We got off quickly as there was a nice little 2km walk 😊

We spotted a little deer 😊

The views were incredible!!

The rock formations were incredible!

The shapes and colours were so beautiful!

We loved getting off the bus and walking around amongst the gorgeous rocks 😀

We happened upon a group of wild turkeys 😊

Zion is amazing!

Isn't this so spectacular?! 😁

We were a bit speechless observing the beauty of the place..... SPECTACULAR! 😍

After several hours spent in the park, it was time to hop on our bikes and ride back to our hotel.

We took our time riding back as it was so fantastically beautiful 😀😀

We happened upon an amazing natural archway 😊

Riding was knock-your-socks-off beautiful!

We decided we had a little bit of time to make one other stop before getting back to our hotel in daylight. We parked our bikes and climbed to the top of the hill.

Wonderful place! 😁

The views were huge!

We couldn't get enough of the fantastic views!!

The light was going so unfortunately we had to get on our bikes and ride back to Kanab - we didn't want to ride in darkness.

Our last 20km ride back was lovely. The light made the scenery look quite different.

We got back and really fancied a glass of wine but...... We were in the Mormon state of Utah!! We were interested to see the strict Utah/Mormon liquor laws first hand. You cannot buy a drink other than as part of a meal. There are no bars or pubs. None! Neither can you buy alcohol in a supermarket or in shops. You cannot buy a cold beer. Seriously! All beer sold is room temperature! The only way to buy a bottle of wine is in the one state-owned liquor shop in each town. In Kanab, the liquor store opened from midday until 7pm only - no spontaneous drinking in Utah!! 😂😋

Luckily, the state owned liquor store, located beside the police station (haha) was still open at 6.50 PM!

There was nothing in Kanab so we had a Subway sandwich and wine for dinner 😊

It was a 200km round trip to Bryce Canyon the following day. After our great day at Zion, we thought that Bryce might be an anticlimax. It was not! It was just as spectacular, with huge views of the amazing rock formations for which it is famous.

On our way to Bryce we passed Dixie National Forest. Fantastic scenery!

These natural archways are amazing!

We arrived 😊

We were greeted with a vista and a half!! 😍

Beautiful!

Riding through Bryce unveiled completely different views, shapes and colours. Gorgeous! 😍

The views were huge!! Bryce Canyon National Park is incredibly beautiful!

Everywhere we went both in Zion and in Bryce, we met the most friendly people. Our bikes and the Irish flag usually started the conversations. Due to the many friendly encounters, we spent a long day at Bryce. We spent ages talking to three lovely people - Dave, Cheryl and Bob. It was a pleasure to meet you guys! 😊

The US really has incredible national parks. We just couldn't get enough! 😁

We love Bryce Canyon! 😍

We arrived back in Kanab just before darkness. All this riding is tiring sometimes 😉 It was an amazing day!! 😍

In the morning we had one final chore to complete before leaving Kanab - a quick oil and filter change for both bikes in the back of the hotel car park.

I was the designated "glamorous assistant" in charge of the dirty oil 😉

After disposing of the oil in the nearby garage, we left Kanab for the long three day ride to the town of Moab in eastern Utah. We would spend a few days in Moab which we intended to use as a base from which to visit two more national parks, Canyonlands and Arches. On our way, we would pass through Monument Valley about which we were very excited! 😀👏😀

25. RX Pizza 200 W. 26th St., Downtown Bryan • 979-721-9158

Recent EatBCS.com Review: “Tried a take out pie from Downtown Bryan’s RX Pizza today and it was great. The crust tasted as if the dough is made from scratch and it reminded me of the two wood fired pizza places in College Station, Napa Flats, West End and the two in Bryan – Amico Nave and Cafe Eccell. This should be a hit in Downtown Bryan which did in fact lack the combination of a well mixed adult beverage and and adult pizza. Easy parking and located in what used to be a drug store for decades. Great prescription for a successful eating & drinking establishment.”

Kamei Sushi and Grill at 951 William D. Fitch is most certainly one of my favorite restaurants in College Station.

AAAAAA it been awhile since i’ve made a summer nuzlocke update. so far i have beaten up to Flannery, with both her and Watson being a fucking walk in the park with Ceasar the marshtomp heading my team. IM HALF WAY DONE???? HOENN FEELS SO SHORT?? more under the read more!!

as far as active team members statuses goes:

-ian (manectric) and Nike (swellow), both have been fully evolved and are lvl 28 as of this post, both are solid and i don’t see them plateauing soon

-python (linoone) and Ceasar (marshtomp),python as been fully evolved and gears more twords attack than linoones ive used in the past, but that’s pretty refreshing, and Ceasar in the only member of the team that is’nt fully evolved,but he’s taken out the past few gyms due to typing and stab moves, i don’t want to use him in Normans gym but may have to? hes kinda stated to lag behind the other members so i should evolve him soon.

Daffodil (mightyena) and Leonidas (beautifly), hoo boy. i know that they will probably start to slow down soon, and daffodil is already lagging in attack but this makes them good for cathing new mons so until i find good replacements they can stick around.

NEW CATCHES YEE YEE:

-kelly the numel from fiery path whos paired to Basheba the skarmory from route 113

-faded the lombre from route 114 who’s paired to FLCL the wynaut that was received and hatched in Lavaridge town

-theres also gyro the sandshrew from rout 111 that’s currently partner-less and is named after gyro from jjba

#Summer nuzlocke 2017 #if i get lucky with my next catch id like to switch it and gyro into the team #and take daffodil and leonidas out #never used a sandshrew before but ive had my ass beat by one in comp #they seem cool

Why is my dog eating grass? Is my dog seriously sick or is this normal?

What is the Number 1 Reason dogs eat grass?

Dogs, Nature and the Environment.

Is there any harm in my dog eating grass?

Sometimes a multivitamin helps your dog if he is lacking in nutrition.

A Healthy Diet will not prevent your dog eating grass.

Is it true that when a dog has an upset stomach, that is the "why" dogs eat grass?

There is nothing wrong with a healthy dog eating grass.

Even if your dog has a well-balanced diet, it will still go for the green grass on a regular basis. There is nothing wrong with it, as long there is no pesticide on the grass.

Why does my dog eat grass then throw up?

In case there is something wrong with your dog, proper treatment can be done and if nothing is wrong then your dog is just doing what a dogs instinct is telling him to do.

Is there any health risk for my dog eating grass.
