Household tip for aquarium owners:

When replacing gravel, put old dirty gravel on your garden/plants - great fertilizer and decorative!

We just changed out the gravel and Ken was about to dump it in the trash, when I realized that it would look great in our potted outdoor plants, and also help fertilize them. So, no waste, and our rose and lemon tree pots look really nice!

From experience, it will pass. However, it might need a bit of help, because it won't pass all at once, depending on the length. They might, um, drag it behind 'em a bit until ya grab hold and pull while trying not to gag. If there is too much resistance, then trim it off and repeat as each section passes. It is really not a pleasant experience, especially for the unfortunate human. Oh, and I will also say that it's not exactly clean either - ya know how rock candy made??? I'll leave it at that.

Thanks DP- I'll pass that along to my friend. I know dogs pass stuff relatively easily, but kitties are smaller and I didn't know if it would work.

Today- I put in 19.5 miles on my mountain bike and 4.5 on the road bike. Plus we walked the dog. Am I skinny yet? Had a great BBQ with the bike club on the beach after the mountain bike ride. And sushi for dinner. Happy me.

I think the BBQ may have cancelled out the bike ride. Sorry.

[BDBopper]

I think it would depend on what was served during the BBQ.

[alphabassettgrrl]

I was *reasonably* good at the BBQ. Half a chicken breast, some broccoli slaw, some potato salad, and some chips and salsa. Probably the worst of it was that I drank sodas.

So that was what the long line was at the Apple store in the mall...lol I'm tempted to get an LG Dare phone when my contract is up in a couple of months from Verizon.

Yeah for you! I rode almost ten miles {this time we didn't take a break in the middle, we rode the entire time, including some hills, nothing like yours, I am sure 'cause I stay away from as many as I can!} and only had one breakfast burrito. But, we went to the movies where we did eat candy {the snack sized kind? I buy that now, $1 for ten little bars at Target then we pick from those} with popcorn and a water.

I did buy a journal from Borders to help keep track of just what I eat. I think it is true that it is easy to overlook somethings, eat absentmindedly.

I wish I had stuck to my guns with my work outs before, but, this year it seems everything is working against me. I've had sinus infections galore, a back injury, pulled this or that, and now the garage is a mess because I was clearing out closets and such.

Anyone going to the Projekt Revolution? I am, didn't think I was. Now I have to find a hotel room. Anyone use Hotwire.com? They've said they have a room in the Irvine/Costa Mesa area. It looks like an area where I've seen some nice places but I know that there can be not so nice places, too.

Anyone book with them? Are 3.5 stars really 3.5? Has anyone been disappointed? Anyone been surprised? :0) I won't book anything right away.

I would book something by Disneyland but our APs are blocked that Monday.
