    Homemade Dog Food

    For the eating too fast issue, have you tried a slow feeder bowl? I know it doesn’t work for all dogs (some will just flip it over to get all the food out), but it could help, particularly if some of the issues are related to eating too fast. I have this one for my dog, but they have several...

    Overnight Equestrian Camp Suggestions?

    I came to suggest Bonnie Castle at Stoneleigh-Burnham, but see that it’s already been recommended! I never went to camp, but I went to high school at Stoneleigh and Mina is fabulous.

    Kids sports/extra curriculars and $$$

    If you think 4k a year for gymnastics is bad, don’t let your kid get near a horse! I grew up riding and showing competitively (and still do), and we spent (and continue to spend) thousands and thousands of dollars on it - upwards of 30k a year, not including the upfront cost of buying the horse...

    European Colleges for US Students?

    I’d imagine that it would be pretty difficult for a non-fluent Spanish speaker to pursue a medical degree at a university in Spain. The science classes needed can be a beast when you’re learning them in English, let alone in a foreign language. I had years of classroom Spanish (sporadically in...

    SO: How do you communicate at work?

    Email & instant messaging for the most part. Texting occasionally (after hours or when boss is in all-day meetings and something urgent has come up). If I have a quick question for one of my immediate neighbors and they don't look busy or have headphones in, I'll ask face-to-face, but not if it...

    Anyone else playing HQ trivia?

    You can get extra lives by inviting other people to play. They have to sign up with your referral code (it gets to sent to them when you invite them). You get the extra life when the person plays their first game, I think

    What was your non-STEM major and what is your job?

    I was a history major, and now I'm a copywriter (I don't write anything history-related). My sister-in-law is a copywriter for a travel company - not quite as cool as travel blogging, but still fun!

    Does anyone obese go to Maccu Piccu, Peru?

    Whether you're thin or overweight, it all depends on your fitness level. I went (not with Disney, but another tour company) and our group included people of all shapes and sizes, including one lady with a cane, and everyone was able to enjoy the tour. There are several different "paths" to take...

    Love to Hear Your Meal Subscription Box Experiences!

    I'm trying some different ones out right now, and so far I've gotten Blue Apron. One thing about them that I didn't know about before I ordered (and hated!) is that while there are six meal choices on the menu, you can't necessarily pick the three you want - there are certain meal combinations...

    WWYD?

    It's not necessarily about spending money on "things" instead of people - many venues have space limits and when you reach it, that's that. Or should people only have their weddings at venues where every single person they know, whether they're close and want to celebrate their wedding with them...

    Dogs at work?

    I work in a dog-friendly office. There are probably around 40-50 dogs that are approved to come into the office now. The dogs have to stay gated in their owner's cubicle, so it isn't just a free for all of fifty dogs roaming free, and there's a probationary period to make sure that the dog...

    Daughter (12) didn't get invited to a party . Its killing me, her not so much

    She did say at some point that because her daughter has had issues with snapchat in the past, she (the OP) has her daughter's snapchat on her own phone.

    European Vacation - Any help :)?

    My family has traveled to Europe with both Insight Vacations and Go Ahead Tours, and we had great experiences with both companies.

    Online courses... How normal is this?

    I think that's reasonable. It's not any more work than it would be in a classroom based class, and online courses shouldn't have less work just because they're online. I also don't think it's unreasonable to have tight deadlines on discussion posts - it helps drive the discussion forward in a...

    Survivor 32- Beauty vs Brains vs Brawn

    The ocean wouldn't have helped - that's not cold ocean water, it's warm ocean water. The ocean water was probably around 80 degrees (and warmer along the shore where it's shallow), from what I've read.

    New Harry Potter book?

    It's a play that takes place "nineteen years later," which is when the last book's epilogue took place.

    Strange happening at Doctor's Office

    Really? How is having your dog with you at work a sign of "immaturity"? Employees at my company are allowed to bring dogs to work (with rules...there is a waiting list to get your dog in, more dogs get let in every quarter, if the dog causes trouble or has behavioral issues then it won't be...

    Can You Help Me With DH's iPad Mini?

    As for how to get books to read, he can download the Kindle app and go through Amazon like you would with your Kindle.

    Late for work

    My supervisor is very easy going and doesn't have a problem with us being late. I like to be timely, so if I m running late then I don't do other stuff to make myself later just because I'm late anyways. There's a daily design critique meeting (or almost daily, depending on what people have...

    Reasonable grocery budget for 1 person?

    You are judging, actually, but it's fine - I'm well aware that I don't eat healthy every day. From the way the poster has talked about her daughter's eating habits, it didn't sound like the daughter was much of a cook or would be interested in much cooking (she typically eats waffles, toast...
