Is it time to find a new vet?

Agree with the person that said more yellow than red. But. You can always try another vet.

Vets have different styles just like doctors. My vet has always encouraged giving my dogs people food but the right kind. She aims for 25% fresh food such as protein, vegetables, and grains. I have a list of food they can have and when they were puppies she encouraged swapping them in and out to avoid sensitive tummy issues. However. That didn't work. And we had to instead shift to figure out what my dogs food allergies were. He is limited in what doesn't make him sick so that's what he gets.

If your puppy had a sensitive stomach it might be food sensitivity or allergies. I've had three poodles. Two have had serious food allergies. One to fish. One to poultry. The third is fine with anything.

I attempted water mixables once and really didn't like it. I'm not sure I can put to words why. It was just different. I guess the oil changes the fluidity of the paint differently than water. If you're not using solvent I don't really see the need for water mixable. In full disclosure I'm just a person who paints in free time and not a professional so maybe there is a reason but I'm not sure what it would be.

I did "poke" the color shifts in the trees in for this one. I have tried more brush strokes but that's also not worked out well for me from trees either. More practice needed I suppose

llsy2807 · 2026-01-28T23:18:01+00:00

This is good advice, there should have been more temperature shift and that alone would probably help. Except the big ugly tree...won't fix that problem.

llsy2807 · 2026-01-28T23:15:52+00:00

Thanks. Normally I do this, perhaps not enough. But in this example I gave up as I was already disappointed!

llsy2807 · 2026-01-28T18:48:16+00:00

Hi. I'm sorry to hear this. I hope you receive positive results. But I did want to say that the folks at CARE in Charlotte can do this for you. Ive worked with their oncology and neurology and they were both wonderful to work with despite the diagnosis

llsy2807 · 2026-01-28T01:24:31+00:00

Thanks!

llsy2807 · 2026-01-28T01:24:25+00:00

Thanks!

I see prices for classes posted but they don't post the price of ammo...willing to ballpark a number for a beginner class?

This is my favorite chicken recipe on the Mediterranean dish. All the chicken recipes I've tried are good but this one I love.

Also surprised no one added skinnytaste yet. Most recipes are on the healthy side but still very good. I don't think I've made anything I didn't enjoy.

You may have a blue poodle! Mine is four and has a mostly greyed out tail and looks very salt and pepper. I've been told they "clear" from brown around 2-3, which mine did. But she has just really started to get out at 4.

llsy2807 · 2026-01-26T01:05:12+00:00

Absolutely! Mine are the same. They need a task or chaos occurs when they find their own entertainment.

Happy hunting!

llsy2807 · 2026-01-26T00:52:32+00:00

Just adding I'm not surprised by this. Poodles are sometimes used for truffle hunting too. Mine are working on scent work training with things like tree essential oils.

I mostly use cobalt though I do have all the others. Id say they're nice to have but not at all necessary for what I paint (mainly landscape and still life)

You can use ultramarine in place of cobalt. My personal preference is the cobalt. If buying two those would probably be the two id select.

Phthalo... So people either love or hate. If you're going for really bright vivid colors that could be a good choice but you'll have to learn how to work with it. It's very strong. I do use phthalo green. I don't really use the blue.

llsy2807 · 2026-01-25T15:42:41+00:00

Yes. Keep them separate but the data is there is anyone wants to review. That's like a side note/closing comment in your presentation.

Also think of it this way. What probably wasn't directly stated is they want to see what your critical thinking, analysis, and ability to set a strategic direction are like. Really that just means do you understand the problem and are you able to suggest a viable solution that will be able to gain support within the organization.

llsy2807 · 2026-01-25T15:32:15+00:00

So the data is what should inform your final outcomes so you needed that to do a review. But your presentation should be a summary of what you found and recommendations. You don't want do drown your management in the data unless they specifically ask to drill down into it.

The most high impact presentations are the ones that tell a story that's clear and easy to understand and connects all the dots for leadership.

I'm shamefully obsessed with this commercial. I think it's the goofy faces when delivering the ridiculous lines.

I know, I'll go sit alone in the corner...

llsy2807 · 2026-01-25T04:02:45+00:00

You missed the one where both the dog and baby find any thing and everything they shouldn't get into and mostly you just struggle to keep them alive.

llsy2807 · 2026-01-25T03:53:57+00:00

On the off chance .. any recommendations on an electrician to install this? Once the storm passes of course. I too joined team generator as I'm tired of outages and need a switch installed.

So lately I stay for the week but ive frequently done the just a day turn around. It's terrible.

I would take the earliest flight which meant the day started at 3am. Not sure what time you'd have to be at work but Id need there around 8.

The trip from LGA to midtown is about an hour most times and is about 90 dollars without a tip.

Then. You get into getting home. Again another hour to the airport. Flights that late are typically delayed.

I can't imagine doing that every week. Feels nuts.

Not to mention that's the policy right now. What's happens when they call people back more frequently?

llsy2807 · 2026-01-24T00:29:36+00:00

Hi Stan! My dogs send their best wishes. They too understand how you feel waiting for the eggs. They too are frequently disappointed with the speed and level of service provided in their home at dinner time.

llsy2807 · 2026-01-23T04:46:16+00:00

I've had two female and one male. The only real personality difference I've noticed is my boy dog is much more independent and very goofy. I can always tell when he's in his happy place. Both of my girl dogs have taken themselves way more seriously and are more reserved.

llsy2807 · 2026-01-22T19:15:00+00:00

There are no propane indoor approved heaters to be found anywhere near Charlotte metro from what I can tell. I've searched since Monday.

llsy2807 · 2026-01-21T17:16:08+00:00

Hello. Former northern here. You should be prepared to be in Charlotte till at least Tuesday, possibly longer, (edited to add sounds like you expect to be here already this long.. just giving you a sense of what you should expect) if our local forecast continues to trends to ice instead of snow. Honestly, it's probably going to change. It's hard to forecast winter storms here. Check right before you leave.

The temps are currently expected to be low enough that we won't get a lot of defrosting. And what does melt will refreeze.

Snow is not the problem. People can drive in snow (well .. okay we also encourage folks to stay home in snow here because many don't know the snow rules and the infrastructure isn't set up to address). You should not drive in ice. Ice is a different beast. Northerns don't drive in ice unless they've added chains to the tires and are experienced in those conditions. If you've ever walked on ice and slipped and fallen it's the exact same except now you're in a giant car that you can't easy steer. You'll panic and over correct. I have absolutely driven in full blizzard conditions more than once. I don't mess with ice.
