Sounds like Trump.

She is really beautiful!  It's hard to believe she was in such bad shape when you got her.  Good job indeed!

Shouldn't you change the title of your blog?  I don't think you are fostering Anouk by now.  She's a permanent resident.

It doesn't look like the cats will be able to get in.  You have made them dependent on you.  It's not right to just cut them off from their food.  You could put a cat door in the mesh.  Toads would not be smart enough to figure out how to use it.

OMG!  Why would anybody even think of touching that?

I uploaded a document that gives instructions.  If the vet has atropine, that is helpful too, after you've done the emergency treatment, which has to be done right away.  Don't wait.

One lane at a time probably. A mess in any case.

Do they milk the water buffalo cows?  Their milk makes wonderful ricotta cheese.

Notify the U.S. embassy of the death.  They will send you a death certificate in English good for use in the U.S.  They send several copies.  They will also take care of reporting the death to Social Security.

Mitzi Clare Nash is an excellent certified translator.

If only people would start using these, we wouldn't have so many lost dogs here.

Check Romero pharmacy and also Organica in Los Establos plaza.  They have a lot of supplements.

Judy, this has been a problem with many versions of Windows, not just Windows 7.   It is not related to the release of Windows 10, however Microsoft continues to change their policies and update process.   Fixing this issue often requires several steps to clean out and reset the update process.   From a security standpoint, it is important that the updates get applied and the operating system is up-to-date at all times.

I tried it again today, and it worked.  Perhaps MS corrected the problem.

It's probably been about a year now since I pushed the 'Upgrade to Windows 10' button.

Despite dire warnings from those with a fear of the unknown, I've had no issues whatsoever.

It's not fear of the unknown.  It's "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."  We have enough stress in our lives without having to cope with a new OS for no reason.

The last time Microsoft "fixed" the updating problem on my old XP computer, they nearly destroyed the computer.  It took a tech visit to get it going again, and it never worked right after that.  I will not ask for their help again.  I'll wait for them to fix their problems.

I'm having trouble with Win 7 updates.  The latest ones wouldn't download.  It just kept running and staying at 0.  Some googling revealed this is a common problem with 7, especially since 10 came out.  Is anyone else experiencing this?

I saw a lot of dog toys in the pet section of Do It Center, including the rope chews.  Can't find cat toys anywhere.  If somebody sees them, please let me know.

Did you try cooking the carrots and mushing them up in some dog food, or better yet, some hamburger?

Originally we agreed to foster thru the end of August. I think she has captured our hearts so we would like to adopt her permanently.

She has calmed down considerably since arriving Friday. Anouk is getting along well with the neighborhood cat gang. Each is staking out their territory. It is fun to watch.

Anouk will decide if she wants to stay with us. We hope she decides in our favor. Please flag her in your report as "not available to anyone else".

She seemed to really enjoy the hugs and belly rub I gave her this morning after her Sunday Brunch.

I will mark her as adopted.  If that changes, let me know.

So have you adopted her, or are you just fostering her?  I need to know to update her status on Pets Want Homes.

Bless your hearts!  Thank you on behalf of Anouk.

There is an icon in your task bar that looks like a computer tower with a green circle with a check-box.  Click on it, and whatever is connected will appear.  It will say "Eject...".  This is the same thing you use to eject a flash drive before removing it.  If the icon is not showing, click the small up-pointing triangle in the task bar (mine is on the right side).  This allows you to choose which icons you want to be visible.  But you will still need to unplug the hard drive.

We could be called a lot worse.  Maybe we are and don't understand Panamanian pejoratives.

Yes, please correct the headline.  That is VERY misleading and upsetting.

What is the chinese steak house near Penny?

It is a large yellow building with a sign "Mariscos".  If you stand in the parking lot of Super Baru and look past the stadium, you might be able to see it from there.  It is a couple of streets over.

Can anyone tell me which restaurants are good for meals to go (other than pizza)?
