Barf Tip of the Day

By -
If either or both scenarios play out, stop WHATEVER you are doing and IMMEDIATELY attend to the situation:
  • Your dog's stomach is making gurgling noises, similar to the sound a human stomach makes after eating a Big Mac at McDonald's.
  • Your dog is making the following sounds: "Gag, cough, hack, hack, yaaaaaaaack, splatter, splatter."
Oh, and bring a bottle of 409 and some paper towels. Maybe Renee's steam cleaner.

Hilarious...and a good tip.

We had a cat who would started that stomach roll thing indicating a hairball was breaking free. Of course, she was always on something like my bed or the carpet. As soon as possible, she was carried or thrown to a more cleanable surface (like the kitchen or bathroom).

This ad came up for me when I was reading Amanda's comment in Gmail:

The only trick is this "recipe" is $8. Not to mention the cost of the ingredients. Jay, how much do you buy your pet cleaner for?

LOL! Yes, animals have a knack for barfing in the worst possible places. LOL again with the StinkyPets website. And yes, my pet cleaner cost a grand total of $1 at the dollar store, and seriously works wonders. And, it's easy to use. Spray on, let dry, and vacuum up the stain. Folks, it just doesn't get any easier.

Maybe they ate a Big Mac.

I formally protest the disparaging comments made against Big Macs in this post and subsequent comments!

Post-Run Tip of the Day

By Stephanie -
This is a tip for those who might run where giant swarms of gnats sometimes loiter by the side of the road. This tip stems from a run on the Mayan Riviera in Mexico, but I've encountered swarms of gnats in Virginia and Kentucky as well. After your run, always stop and look in a mirror before going into public. Otherwise, you might actually complete a transaction at the resort store and greet five people before realizing you have up to 15 gnats stuck to your face and neck.

Questionable Tip of the Day

We've all been there. We're looking at a site and keep refreshing to see if what we're looking for has been updated. But, often times our browsers will cache items on the page (especially images and Flash™ documents.) This enables faster page loads, and less data transfer, which is actually nice. However, if you're a web developer, or someone who checks the tips site a lot for comments, you want to know that the information you're viewing is perfectly accurate. And, you don't want to empty your cache every time you look at a site. So, here's what you do. To get a page to refresh, and not draw from a cache, simply put a good old-fashioned question mark (?) at the end of your URL, and hit "Enter."
