The Skin Allergy

When we adapted our little dog we soon began to notice he had little red spots on his skin and that he was itching them. This was not a good sign for us because we had to put down last dog who was a German Sheppard down since he had incurable allergies. We tried everything the vet told us to do including using dog supplements, putting oil on top of his food and not bathing him very often so his skin wouldn’t dry out. He used to get the spots so bad he had to wear a big ole white safety plastic collar around his neck to keep him from digging at himself. He would open the skin up and cause infections and then had to be put on antibiotics. Finally, one day the vet mentioned we ought to send him to a college far away and let them try experimental treatments on him. That was all too expensive for us. With our current dog we did a little investigation and found a dog food that took his skin allergies away.

 

FC Barcelona

I can say that they are the best team in the world. Last year Barcelona won everything that was at stake including Champions league and Spanish league. They gave such a drubbing to Real Madrid in one of the derbies in Spanish league where they won 6-2 to stamp their authority over the arch rivals. Ronaldinho, the great Brazilian was the pivotal player in their success in last few years and after he left, it is Lionel Messi arguably the best football player in the world who has become the secret to their success. Their forward line produces some really amazing moves. Their second leg semi final against Chelsea in champions league where they won in extra time was the most exciting match of recent times and a tribute to their never say die spirit. There is no reason as to why they should not repeat their performance this season and their biggest challenge will be to face up to old enemy Real Madrid who has hired some of the best footballers in the world for astronomical amounts.

Never eat anything bigger than your head

Dinner last night was at LoLo’s Mexican Food, in Morro Bay, California. A small, family run restaurant, that has become a favorite with us. We were seated at a booth by the front window, where although you can’t see the ocean from there, you can see the sunset. Everyone on the wait staff is friendly, and gives quick, attentive service. Our meal? I had the “Wet Burro”, a giant flour tortilla stuffed with Chili Verde pork, rice, beans, salsa, sour cream, and guacamole, covered with enchilada sauce. Delicious and filling. DW had 2 shrimp tacos, with hard shells instead of soft, with rice and black beans on the side. Accompanied with “Cayucos Beach Ale”, a locally named (although not locally produced, it comes from Gilroy, California, 150 miles north and definitely not on the beach!) No room for dessert after that.

A day in the life of a closet IPhone addict

Updating to iPhone OS 3.1 Beta (iPhone)

I begin my day by checking to see if I have any messages on my new IPhone – voice, text picture, I’ll take anything. If there are no messages, I spend at least 5 minutes trying to figure out who I have offended and how I can fix it. Next I check my applications are they all updated. I check to see what’s new, what I just have to have. Then, believe it or not, I actually go to work. During work, I wait for my alarms to go off, signaling that I am important, I am busy, and I am loved. I sneak in several games during the day and pretend that I am updating my very busy schedule with work related meetings, of course. What? Time to go home already? The time flies by when you are constantly checking your phone. On the way home I call several people for no good reason just so that people in passing cars will hopefully glimpse me on my very important, very stylish IPhone. I spend the evening checking my email, surfing random internet sites and just bonding with my IPhone. During this time I will also cook dinner and try to spend “quality time” with my family. Life is good.
