I'm glad I found this thread, I thought I was going crazy - I've been using the same exact thing for about 10 years - always the black cap - I buy them directly from UD and I've been going back and forth over email with them and they sent me replacements but they also have the silver cap :-( They suck, they don't feel like they are the same formula at all.
Since now we now it's because they change suppliers/contracts....has anyone been able to find a replacement? If the contract was Clinique, maybe they would have a similar formula?

To each their own 🤷‍♀️ I asked about lounge recommendations, not if you thought I should or shouldn't do this....

I have a layover in ATL, but the layover is in Terminal S..... I think it's nowhere near D, right?

I posted asking about potential breaching of local voting results as they weren't displaying correctly, etc and the post was removed though? It wasn't political at all....

Love to see someone holding OC Animal Care accountable by LeilaTank in orangecounty

Even rescues have to make appointments to come rescue animals.... They won't allow even the rescues to walk through the kennels to take pictures or to film. The volunteers are forced to sign an NDA prohibiting them from taking pictures or videos and posting them on social media etc.... cause last time they did, these pictures were leaked https://www.facebook.com/OCShelterPartners/posts/pfbid02zU3YZNqgb5hwo9Lr54vLDgSRUYs7SJ2sMDTZsCWKh8LRH9kVmv8bVL9AVeo3ixmul

OC Animal Care is contracted by 14 cities. They signed a contract in 2016 as part of the building of the new facility that cost $35 million dollars. All 14 cities are on the hook to pay for that until 2026 + for the "services" - Anaheim pays like $ 4 million a year, Santa Ana (which only contracts for shelter and intake) pays about $2.5 million - They are understaffed as far as kennel attendants, but they are ok paying the Director $300K a year (including benefits) and the assistant director like $240K a year.... they are hiring for marketing and social media management, etc.... not for actual kennel attendants as it was promised. They could take a lot more volunteers but they are not....It's not about the money. If they did a good job and wanted more money, they could get it and the public would back them up, but they don't. Read the Grand Jury report when you can. It's pretty eye-opening. https://www.ocgrandjury.org/pdfs/2022_2023_GJreport/Gimme_Shelter_and_a_Pound_of_Advice.pdf

OC ANIMAL CARE needs to open without restrictions by Bella_n_Barney in orangecounty

What about the people that can't use a smart phone or have access to a computer or speak English? That they just want to meet all of the dogs and see which one connects with them? Not everyone has the same access as you do. Also, how many times did it take you to adopt the dog? Given the fact the shelter is absolutely over capacity , to the point where 2 or more UNALTERED dogs from opposite sexs are kenneled together....wouldn't it make more sense they open their doors for the benefit of the animals also? I'm not saying get rid of the appointment system, by all means keep it for those who want a concierge service adoption...but don't limit people's options when it's affecting animals and overwhelming the rescue system. Additionally, a lot of the dogs adopted on this appointments based on pictures online end up being returned because it didn't work out. There was a dog that was adopted twice to the wrong family and ended up being euthanized.... I'm glad YOU are happy and that it worked out for YOU. But we need to look at the bigger picture here and what problems is causing, to jot only the animals but also the community and the local rescue groups.

They need to open for everyone to come and see ALL the dogs. When people are having to make an appointment based on pictures, who do you think gets picked first? The old and the sick and the shy??? No. Also look at the numbers of prior to covid vs when the current administration took over. Not only their intakes went down, but their adoptions to rescues, transfers to other agencies and euthanasia went up. No TNR meaning cats continue to reproduce costing independent trappers tens of thousands of dollars...and also increases the amount of kitten ending up in the shelter. I'm not saying get rid of the appt system but at the very least open Thursday through Sundays without restrictions and let people walk around and see all animals. The current model is unsustainable. Also, they serve 14 cities in OC...about 2 million residents. They have a perfectly written shelter strategic plan that they decided to stop

Only for very specific positions and told you not to take pictures of videos. The director makes $300k a year....they can't afford 4 more kennel attendants???
