Non sarcastic people have told me that I have a bad attitude, and that sarcasm is a sin that I struggle with.

Slache Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Dh smoked two large briskets and a large turkey breast for Christmas Eve. We had seven adults, an adult who had already eaten, four teens, and a kid. We ate most of one brisket. He timed the turkey wrong so it was ready during dessert and no one ate but a bite to taste it. For the past five days I have done everything with brisket possible. Brisket plain, with bbq sauce, given the hard and fatty pieces to the dog, brisket nachos, and now brisket on baked potatoes. The turkey is almost gone. YAY. It's an odd problem to have, this overabundance of brisket. You shouldn't give human food to dogs. They don't digest it well and it's bad for their teeth. Feel free to Ignore this post! but I just wanted you to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkW Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Another day, another library Star Wars party. No idea what's going on with the shape of Chewie's legs, but my modified stilts were WAY easier to walk in than before because the bottoms are rounded now instead of flat. Woo! Sadly, his legs look like hairy vases. Gotta fix. It was a good time but I had no idea that the library was in such an urban area. We were a little afraid our car would be towed from the alley we had to park in even though it's where the librarian said to park (it was covered in Tow warnings and not owned by the library). Also our small town library was just.. nicer. The big library folks were appreciative but there was also this air of "You should be honored to be in our amazing library, on a volunteer basis, at our request which was turned down by every other Star Wars person in the state..." So.. weird.Also their PR person (apparently this is a full time position there) asked my wife to step back out of the frame so that she could get a shot of my daughter with BB-8 on her face. Then, after my wife stepped back, said "No, further..."... 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't give her the stuff that is bad or toxic to dogs. No brisket scraps. Too much fat=angry pancreas. I am not opposed to the yogurt, limited amounts of sweet potato and peanut butter. My rule of thumb is that table scraps+ treats should be no more than 5% of the diet. And no fatty stuff! Ideally, the 5% would be fiber rich and not be high in protein either.

People do that as Disney princesses and stuff, but it is technically illegal and Disney has even sued or sent scary letters to people in the past. I just prefer to do it for free for community type things anyway, plus it's against the Rebel Legion charter to hire out your costume. In my opinion, it's strictly for fun and charity. But thanks for the compliment. :) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally, the 5% would be fiber rich and not be high in protein either. 5% is probably about what we do. She is a 70 poundish Great Pyrenees. She doesn't get scraps daily, maybe 2-3 times a week. I give her the empty peanut butter containers to let her play with them and lick them and then remove them when she has done so. She doesn't eat the plastic. It's kind of like a big kong. Okay. No fatty scraps. Got it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had thoughts about your questions, if that helps. Also, I think I am retired, at least temporarily. :laugh: I can access that part of my brain when needed, and I talked to my little supervisee today, so I suspect that took all I had for today. Tomorrow, the therapist brain may return. However, I can tell when I am feeling more energetic because I start considering going to nursing school again*. :lol: *This will never happen.

I suppose some things should be just for that. Can't tell if you think the Rebel Legion is like the Buck Rogers Fan Club or something. Hehe. It's actually a massive costuming organization officially recognized by LucasFilm and now Disney as the preferred hobbyist costuming organization of Star Wars, which sounds silly but actually means that Rebel Legion people have been used in Disney official parades for basically ever, have been in the Rose parade, at the Super Bowl, etc. Rebel Legion members visit children's hospitals, charity drives, and all sorts of cool stuff. The membership charter is serious business regarding conduct and the costume standards are very rigorous. Right now my Chewie isn't even officially approved as a Rebel Legion wookiee because he has some issues to fix, like the shape of his legs and his big heavy mullet... :) Edited December 30, 2015 by MarkW 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
