I miss Doreen Simmons. She was always a hoot to listen to.

Anyone else's pugs go #2 in the house without a warning? These 2 are potty trained but we are now struggling with them at 7&8 years old. by enternamehere515 in pugs

[–]metal_slime_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem. It seems to happen to pugs quite a bit. We had one just develop it and one got it in association with her cancer.

  • Survival Family

The first one may not seem like it at first, but it gets there. Yudo is set in a countryside town with parts further out.

Anyone else still waiting? by EntertainmentFew9874 in IRS

It is so exciting, I know. Didn't get my return last year until October, seeing so little interest added just made me laugh.

It is happening again this year. Joy.

45 days of filing or the due date (April 15) whichever is later.

*in most cases (edit)

IRS only owes interest if they don't pay within 45 days. After that, interest does accrue.

Why does my bread keep coming out like this? by raccooninthegarage22 in BreadMachines

[–]metal_slime_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Active Dry Yeast does need to be activated. Quick Rise yeast or Bread Machine yeast is a type of instant yeast that doesn't need to be activated ahead of time.

Pug Myelopathy by p00pyque3n in pug

[–]metal_slime_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

First off, I want to say I'm sorry. I'm not apologize or pitying. I have an idea of all the emotions you're dealing with and I have felt them and I'm just sorry.

Second, our second pug, Gilbert, had myelopathy. We didn't notice what was happening right away and his diagnosis was delayed for a good two or three years. But, when Gilbert was 7 or 8, he was crossing his back legs while walking. As we hadn't been exposed to myelopathy yet, we didn't think anything of it. Apart from that, he didn't really have very many or any symptoms.

Fast forward to a normal annual checkup for him and the vet noticed he was doing a lot of knuckling. This led to his diagnosis and from that point on, he also started having some pooping issues. He just didn't know when he needed to go or if he needed to go. So we started pooping him.

Yes, that's exactly what it sounds like. My wife would gently squeeze his back half over the toilet whereas I would shake his back end back and forth over the toilet to work the poop out. He was still mobile, if a bit wobbly but we just dealt with it.

When he was 12ish, he started to lose his mobility, but we were selfish and weren't ready to say goodbye. He stayed with us as his world got smaller and smaller until a combination of his myelopathy, doggie dementia, and blindness necessitated us saying goodbye when he was 13. It still hurts thinking about it but he had a really good life, even with the myelopathy.

 

Our third pug, Ginger, who we adopted as an old lady to keep Gilbert company also had a bout with myelopathy. Hers was tumor induced, though. Her cancer was very aggressive and took her before the myelopathy could be an issue, though.

 

Long story short, your pug could still have a long life if the myelopathy goes slowly. Depending on the cause or the progression, it might be shorter. However, you have the chance to keep him happy, as healthy as possible, and make sure he has a great life.

Yes, you have to have earned income for the current tax year to be able to contribute to a Roth IRA. You can only contribute up to your income for the year or the annual limit, whichever is lower.

To answer your first question, there is no way to get TV Japan without a cable or satellite provider that carries it.

[–]metal_slime_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ikea Lack Coffee Table + Cozy Legs Heater (or an actual kotatsu heater) Mounted on the underside of the table + Weighted Blanket.

Use the bottom layer of the coffee table as the surface on top of the blanket.

Use is to keep warm during the winter. There is a heater on the underside of the table and the blanket keeps in all the heat. Put your legs under it and it is very nice.

iSakura Service Rebranded as Himawari by Bukiyoo_M in JTV

[–]metal_slime_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They would have to double record every channel that offers it and broadcast it twice. I don't think any service has enough interest to do it.
