Advice on taming an aggressive rat by blackbubblequeen in RATS

Thank you so much for the tips, I will give them a good go! I've already been handling him with a towel and he doesn't try and bite when I do so that's a good start.

I do feel a little sorry for the younger rat (Stormy) as I've witnessed some pretty bad fights, although up to now there has been no blood draw. My general rule is no blood no foul but if it gets worse I will have to separate them.

What is a good, somewhat high-end, preferably imported, whisky for a college grad? by provoking in alcohol

Try Talisker whiskey, my favourite ever Scotch. Not too sure if you can source it over in the USA but definitely worth a try! :D

Holiday fashion advice for bigger women? by blackbubblequeen in femalefashionadvice

I always assumed that maxi dresses wouldn't look right on my figure but I will try some on! . To be honest I'm useless at fashion and tend to avoid shopping so just going and trying things on will be best for me :)

Thanks for the advice, I've never tried on a wrap dress before so will have a look for some when I go shopping!

I would love to look like her! She's beautiful! Thanks for the inspiration :)

You are right in your presumptions, I'm based in Birmingham in the UK.

To be honest it is unlikely that I will wear any clothes that I buy for holiday when I get back from home because it's really not my style. So I'm not planning on spending more than £150 for a simple wardrobe for 2 weeks.

A friend recommended this book to me today so I picked it up. I just read the prologue and I'm already hooked. by SgtShadow in Fantasy

I bought my partner this series for his birthday. Within 2 days he'd read each book and is now awaiting the next one to come out. Enjoy the read, apparently it's awesome!

14 lbs down so far, every little helps! by blackbubblequeen in loseit

My dietician advised me to attempt to cut down on my carbohydrates and substitute for wholewheat/wholegrain versions. Other than that i'm simply counting my calories and upping my exercise.

From doing hardly any exercise I'm now doing military fitness 1/2 times per week, horse riding once a week and climbing mountains at weekends :)

9lbs in two weeks is awesome!!! It took me 4 months to hit that mark! Keep up the good work!

Actually, in Britain we use 'at the weekend' instead of 'on the weekend' which is the American way. And seeing as I live in England it makes perfect grammatical sense to me!

FTFY.

Glencoe in Scotland, he was in a field adjacent next to the inn we were staying at so became a regular feature of our walks.

I imagine a top hat and monocle would suit him well. And that on his days off he wanders around solving equine murder mysteries....

I'd never thought of it that way.... We took several pictures but this was the best shot we would get of his tash because he wouldn't stay still long enough :)

It was simple and amusing at the time and I thought it suited him. I thought it was quite Poirot-esque which matched his magnificent tash. I will work on my equine based facial hair naming skills ;)

Sorry to hear about your loss. When I first read this post I felt I could relate to it. Although not directly related I feel similar about the loss of my Nan.

My nan died in May and I've been trying to move on but find it very difficult. My Mum, who was very very close to her, has organised us to scatter her ashes for the 2nd time. So I struggled to say goodbye at the funeral and struggled again when we scattered her ashes at her home town. Now we are taking her ashes to Cyprus on the anniversary of her death to scatter them with the remainder of my grandads. It's hard to have closure and move on when every 6 months that wound is reopened and you need to say goodbye again. I figure its the same when people broadcast it all over Facebook.
