what a wonderful response. I'll go and follow you write after I write this response back at ya.

Resoulutions are really stupid. I don't even understand why people do them anymore. Let's think about it ok? How many people that have made any sort of resolution has ever stuck to it? I can't think of any off the top of my head but I can think of hundreds where the people shamefully kind of backed away from it and hoped nobody would notice that by January 10th they were sneaking cigarettes around the corner, and by the 20th they just were back to doing it all the time in front of everyone. No apologies, just hoping people wouldn't notice.

The amount of "i'm going to lose 10 lbs" I have heard over the years are just absurd. You don't need a Jan 1st to do that. You can do it mid March and as long as you have a plan you have a much better chance of actually succeeding.

When I said that dogs have hyper-sensitive tongues I already knew that they did but their noses are where they really stand out. I think the scent of Tabasco is just overwhelming to a dog and they want to get away from it. This is also why when I spray what I consider to be a mild fragrance on Nadi to maske her doggy musk for a day or so before her bath, it makes her sneeze and she absolutely hates it. To me it is a light minty scent, to her it is an overwhelming mint overload like she had been dropped into a vat of the stuff.

I'll try your suggestion about room temperature cheese but you have to understand that the "room temperature" in Vietnam during most of the year would be considered "melting" in the cheese world.

Have a great day!
