#Doggone Bowls

[felixwylde]

Mmm Saucy

What have you been working on? I’ve been tinkering with this thing called “bumboles,” a jolly good new bowling game, a bit like English lawn bowls, but with a dash of dogging thrown in for fun. What do you reckon, is it quirky enough for your fancy?

[mishflora]

"Tired of bein' lonely, tired of bein' blue, I wished I had some good man, to tell my troubles to. Seem like the whole world's wrong, Since my man's been gone. I need a little sugar in my bowl, I need a little hot dog on my roll. I can stand a bit of lovin', oh so bad, I feel so funny, I feel so sad. I need a little steam-heat on my floor, Maybe I can fix things up, so they'll go. What's the matter hard papa, Come on and save your mama's soul, 'Cause I need a little sugar, in my bowl, doggone it, I need a some sugar in my bowl. I need a little sugar in my bowl, I need a little hot dog between my rolls. You gettin' different, I've been told, Move your finger, drop something in my bowl. I need a little steam-heat on my floor, Maybe I can fix things up, so they'll go. Get off your knees, I can't see what you're drivin' at, It's dark down there looks like a snake! C'mon here and drop somethin' here in my bowl, Stop your foolin' and drop somethin' in my bowl!"

I come bearing HUGS ❤️❤️❤️

And also a prompt for the incredibles au. How about family movie night? I’m interested to see how that goes with a family of supers lol

Ah hugs! Thank you very much :] And thanks for the prompt too, it ended up kinda silly but it was fun to write hah.

Hope you like it!

“Warriors can you put more ice in my soda? But uh, try not to freeze it?”

“Look you said you wanted it cold—”

“Sky move, I can’t see.”

“Make Four sit in the front, we can see over him easy!”

“Ha ha, never heard that one before— oh, it’s starting.”

“Wild! Wild hurry! It’s starting!”

At Wind’s shout Wild zipped into the living with a huge bowl of popcorn in his arms, jamming himself onto the couch in between Twilight and Hyrule, despite how there really wasn’t room for him along with Legend and Wind also crammed in on the piece of furniture.

“Wild there’s like four other chairs in here, move,” Legend growled as Wind leaned over him to grab some popcorn. “Go sit next to Sky, I can barely breathe.”

“But this is my spot,” Wild huffed, and pointedly squished himself in even tighter.

“It is not, Twi tell him—”

“Guys shh, it’s starting,” Four hissed from his spot, and Legend glared before pointedly stealing the bowl of popcorn from Wild’s arms.

“Hey!”

Wild lunged over Hyrule and grabbed for the bowl, until Twilight took it and held it out of reach of both of them, giving them each a glare.

“Guys knock it off, or Sky and Warriors’ll just send us all to bed early and we won’t get to watch anything,” Twilight said pointedly, and the two stopped struggling.

“We will, it’s true,” Warriors commented helpfully, and Legend threw some popcorn at him.

Wild snatched some out of the air as it flew by, but still refused to budge, returning Legend’s foul look.

“Here, come sit with me Wild, we can both fit,” Sky said from where he sat on the other side of the room, patting the cushion next to him.

“But that chair doesn’t reach the table,” Wild whined, but after Four glared at him again, he went over to it without fussing.

“What’s this movie about again?” Hyrule asked as the opening credits began to roll.

“Oh it’s great,” Wind said excitedly, shoving some popcorn in his mouth. “It’s all about this pirate guy who’s sister gets kidnapped by this huuuuuge bird so then he has to go save her and he meets this talking boat but the boat isn’t just a boat he’s actually—”

“Don’t spoil it Wind!” Legend interrupted, slapping a hand over his brother’s mouth. “You’ll like it Roolie, trust me— did you just lick my hand?!”

“This won’t be like that other movie we watched, will it?” Twilight asked hesitantly as Legend grabbed at Wind with an invisible hand, and Wind repeatedly blew Legend’s bangs over his eyes.

“Don’t worry Twi, there’s no dogs, and they don’t die,” Warriors assured, then a grin stretched over his face. “It’s a doggone shame, really.”

The room went silent as everyone glared over at Warriors, except for Hyrule and Wild, who almost fell off their respective seats laughing. Twilight merely gave Warriors an absolutely withering look, and pointedly turned into a wolf and faced away from him.

“Yes, terrible pun, haha, now would you all be quiet so we can actually hear the movie?” Four said with a pointed glare, and they all finally settled down and stopped talking, ready to watch the movie.

They didn’t even make it halfway through the film before an all-out war over the popcorn broke out.

Hiccups

An involuntary spasm

despite impossible mission

Go Easy on Yourself, a New Wave of Research Urges

BY TARA PARKER-POPE FEBRUARY 28, 2011 5:26 PM

Do you treat yourself as well as you treat your friends and family?

That simple question is the basis for a burgeoning new area of psychological research called self-compassion — how kindly people view themselves. People who find it easy to be supportive and understanding to others, it turns out, often score surprisingly low on self-compassion tests, berating themselves for perceived failures like being overweight or not exercising.

The research suggests that giving ourselves a break and accepting our imperfections may be the first step toward better health. People who score high on tests of self-compassion have less depression and anxiety, and tend to be happier and more optimistic. Preliminary data suggest that self-compassion can even influence how much we eat and may help some people lose weight.

This idea does seem at odds with the advice dispensed by many doctors and self-help books, which suggest that willpower and self-discipline are the keys to better health. But Kristin Neff, a pioneer in the field, says self-compassion is not to be confused with self-indulgence or lower standards.

“I found in my research that the biggest reason people aren’t more self-compassionate is that they are afraid they’ll become self-indulgent,” said Dr. Neff, an associate professor of human development at the University of Texas at Austin. “They believe self-criticism is what keeps them in line. Most people have gotten it wrong because our culture says being hard on yourself is the way to be.”

Imagine your reaction to a child struggling in school or eating too much junk food. Many parents would offer support, like tutoring or making an effort to find healthful foods the child will enjoy. But when adults find themselves in a similar situation — struggling at work, or overeating and gaining weight — many fall into a cycle of self-criticism and negativity. That leaves them feeling even less motivated to change.

“Self-compassion is really conducive to motivation,” Dr. Neff said. “The reason you don’t let your children eat five big tubs of ice cream is because you care about them. With self-compassion, if you care about yourself, you do what’s healthy for you rather than what’s harmful to you.”

Dr. Neff, whose book, “Self-Compassion: Stop Beating Yourself Up and Leave Insecurity Behind,” is being published next month by William Morrow, has developed a self-compassion scale: 26 statements meant to determine how often people are kind to themselves, and whether they recognize that ups and downs are simply part of life.

A positive response to the statement “I’m disapproving and judgmental about my own flaws and inadequacies,” for example, suggests lack of self-compassion. “When I feel inadequate in some way, I try to remind myself that feelings of inadequacy are shared by most people” suggests the opposite.

For those low on the scale, Dr. Neff suggests a set of exercises — like writing yourself a letter of support, just as you might to a friend you are concerned about. Listing your best and worst traits, reminding yourself that nobody is perfect and thinking of steps you might take to help you feel better about yourself are also recommended.

Other exercises include meditation and “compassion breaks,” which involve repeating mantras like “I’m going to be kind to myself in this moment.”

If this all sounds a bit too warm and fuzzy, like the Al Franken character Stuart Smalley (“I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, and doggone it, people like me”), there is science to back it up. A 2007 study by researchers at Wake Forest University suggested that even a minor self-compassion intervention could influence eating habits. As part of the study, 84 female college students were asked to take part in what they thought was a food-tasting experiment. At the beginning of the study, the women were asked to eat doughnuts.

One group, however, was given a lesson in self-compassion with the food. “I hope you won’t be hard on yourself,” the instructor said. “Everyone in the study eats this stuff, so I don’t think there’s any reason to feel real bad about it.”

Later the women were asked to taste-test candies from large bowls. The researchers found that women who were regular dieters or had guilt feelings about forbidden foods ate less after hearing the instructor’s reassurance. Those not given that message ate more.

The hypothesis is that the women who felt bad about the doughnuts ended up engaging in “emotional” eating. The women who gave themselves permission to enjoy the sweets didn’t overeat.

“Self-compassion is the missing ingredient in every diet and weight-loss plan,” said Jean Fain, a psychotherapist and teaching associate at Harvard Medical School who wrote the new book “The Self-Compassion Diet” (Sounds True publishing). “Most plans revolve around self-discipline, deprivation and neglect.”

Dr. Neff says that the field is still new and that she is just starting a controlled study to determine whether teaching self-compassion actually leads to lower stress, depression and anxiety and more happiness and life satisfaction.

“The problem is that it’s hard to unlearn habits of a lifetime,” she said. “People have to actively and consciously develop the habit of self-compassion.”

“Ah! Amy! Help!” Jake shrieked the moment she answered her phone, not really concerned about volume control since he was kinda trying to not die at the moment. It had gotten through four rings before she finally picked up, and this would’ve been it for Jake if it’d gone straight to voicemail. Amy frowned, looking around as if he could see her, but soon brushed it off as her being paranoid. “Jake? What’s wrong?” “I’ve got the goose!” He shouted, jumping to dodge another swipe that could only be described as intelligent and intent. “The goose is here! The goose is here!”

Jake fixes it with an offended frown. “Well, that was rude.” Amy sneezes a lot and thinks longingly of her bowl of oatmeal squares, now growing soggy on the kitchen counter. Her life was so much simpler ten minutes ago.

You don’t have to like everything under the Sun

One of the phrases that puts me on edge a bit is “You don’t like X? What? Why not? Everyone loves X!”

I have, over the years, found myself explaining why I don’t like something more than why I do like something.

Avocados are a fine example of this. I don’t like them and never have. It is not the taste, which I don’t particularly care for, but the texture that is off putting to me. I don’t care what you add to it, it still feeds wrong in my mouth. People have tried to convince me that I am missing something awesome but I don’t see it.

I like football both college and NFL. Peter doesn’t see the point of any other professional sports except baseball and bowling. He is a football widow among other sports that I watch. He understands the fundamentals of the games but has no interest. And that’s fine.

Caroline and I like shows like Project Runway, Face-off, and Ink Master. Peter likes Face-off but doesn’t care for the fashion and tattoo shows. There are shows that he watches that I do not because it is not something I enjoy or feel I need to spend my time on it.

There are shows that we are all on the same page Doctor Who, Prodigal Son, Why Women Kill, Dragon Prince, and Good Omens to name a few. We tend to either binge watch them if a season on some platforms or watch them as they air.

Anime is something we all like but where we came into Japanese cartoons is very different. For Peter it is Astro Boy, Kimba the White Lion, and Giagantor. For me it was Robotech, Akira, My Youth in Arcadia and Vampire Hunter D. For Caroline it has been Sailor Moon, Tokyo Ghoul, My Hero Academia, and Fairy Tale.

There are comic book characters I have no interest in. I don’t care to read the books or see the shows based on those characters. There are some characters that I liked at one point but really don’t care for now. We pretty much see every comic book or graphic novel film more as a professional courtesy. Haven’t like them all.

People have tried to convince me that things I don’t like would be something that I should like. I don’t like zombies. Never have. I have seen zombie films and the like but I don’t watch or read it for the most part. Warm Bodies and White Zombie are my speed for zombie stories. More than one friend has tried to convince me to watch the Walking Dead. I have friends in the show. I tried but it didn’t appeal to me.

I like psychological horror rather than blood and guts slasher horror. I have so many friends who work on those films but I really can’t stomach the gut churring body count with blood and body parts flying ever where. Clever ways of killing teenagers just doesn’t do anything for me except give me an upset stomach. I know technically how they do all that and I have done blood and guts effects over the years for various projects. That I love to do and have a passion for. I just don’t like to watch the end product.

I have friends who love the X-men films but don’t care for the Marvel studio films. I do not try to convince them that they need to see all the films. There are Star Wars and Star Trek fans that like a specific part of the saga and that’s fine. There are people who prefer the book to the movie and vice versa.

Life is too doggone short so pick and choose what appeals to you and brings you joy.

If you want to, try things you are unsure of before dismissing them out of hand. At least then when challenged you can honestly say I tried but it doesn’t sing for me.

The pressure to like something that none of us need.

I am grateful for people who understand when I say I don’t particularly care for something.

Days Of Future Past: Cincinnati Predicts The Future

As a child of the 1950s, I gaze upon this Twenty-First Century with scorn.

Where is my ray-gun? My spaceship? My house on Mars? Where is my doggone time machine? The future, as ever, is not what it was cracked up to be. That has been the conclusion of forward-looking Cincinnatians since way back in the city’s history.

As early as 1846, Charles Cist published, in the Cincinnati Advertiser, a look at the city 30 years in the future. When 1876 arrived, Cist predicted, hourly newspapers – one called The Cincinnati Rocket – would replace the immense “bedsheet” daily newspapers of the 1840s. He predicted an additional 38 states added to the Union after the conclusion of the Mexican-American War. Cist projected Cincinnati’s population would be 675,000 (it actually reached about 230,000 in 1876) and a revolutionary new method for paving streets:

“It consists of a chemical preparation, which in its fluid state, passes over and through a layer of six or eight inches deep of tan bark or sawdust, and hardens to a degree which keeps the whole pavement perfectly elastic, while the surface is smooth enough to pass the water during and after rains immediately into the gutters. Nothing can be more delightful than the noiseless revolution of carriage wheels over such surfaces. It is like rolling over an unbroken sward, or rather over carpeting.”

By 1887, the Cincinnati Post [6 June 1887] issued a whole sequence of predictions, based on the recent invention of a so-called universal language known as Volapuk:

“Already the scientists of Europe have provided in volapuk a universal language; the next move will be universal coinage; the next a universal system of measures; the next a worldwide free trade; the next a delegated and authoritative parliament of the earth; the next a distributive organization to equalize the distribution of comforts and civilization, and last a magnificent Earth race, in which shall be represented, absorbed and extinguished all the races and bloods of mankind.”

Some people predicted changes in language. William H. Morgan, Superintendent of Cincinnati’s Public Schools endorsed a simplified spelling system in which though became tho, programme became program, catalogue became catalog and thorough became thoro. Well, 50-50 isn’t a bad prediction. Less accurate, mayhap, was the 1888 prediction in the Post that bowling would contribute as many idioms to English as baseball had. That prediction got stranded on base.

While not indulging in universal rhapsodies, the Post [19 January 1888] predicted a far more mundane, yet necessary future in which Cincinnati had clean drinking water:

“The city of the future will not drink a dilution of mud, street washings, slaughter-house scourings, and privy vault and water-closet emptyings. The water which the city of the future will drink, cook with, and bathe in will be the pure, soft, limpid distillation of the sky.”

In the 1890s, Cincinnatians predicted all sorts of good things for the century to come. The Cincinnati Post in 1892 raved about a “skycycle” – a pedal-powered flying machine to be exhibited at that year’s World’s Fair, with the headline “It Is Solved, The Great Problem Of The Centuries.” Alas, not so. Nor did the Post’s prediction [5 September 1894] that chemistry would replace farmers and chefs with artificial food come to pass. The “Fast-Flying Cosmopolitan Express,” a proposed railroad running from St. Petersburg, across Siberia and the Bering Strait all the way to Rio de Janeiro remained a pipe-dream despite the Post’s 1893 support for the concept.

More accurately, in 1899, the Post carried an artist’s rendering of motorized tanks, 15 years before they blasted through the trenches of World War I. Equally accurate was a 1900 cartoon published in the Cincinnati Enquirer of a “horseless paradise” in which automobile drivers monopolized the roads and decimated pedestrians.

Charles A. Hinsch, president of the Fifth-Third National Bank, addressed the Cincinnati Businessmen’s Club in 1913 with his vision for the city’s future. As reported in the Post [12 November 1913], he foresaw:

“A mall, convention hall, new Courthouse, interurban terminal depot, boulevard system, subway, civic center, with broad walks, on which will be the new Businessmen’s Club; new union depot, with smokeless trains; ocean-going steamers on the Ohio River, high-pressure water system, parkways, driveway along the Ohio River and billboards abolished.”

Herman Schneider, the University of Cincinnati dean who created cooperative education, predicted [Post 4 May 1928] that university students by 1978 would receive much of their instruction via radio or television.

“Fifty years from now, when any person seeking education may . . . see and hear a world famous authority speak and demonstrate by simply turning on the radio, present day educational methods will seem very crude.”

Despite all the predictions in his own newspaper, an editor at the Cincinnati Post [10 January 1901] took a more skeptical look at the future.

“After thousands of columns of Twentieth Century predictions have been printed, after visionary men have prophesied that people will live without labor at the end of a hundred years, the fact remains that affairs will probably run along in the same old groove.  There will be development in all lines, labor may find its burdens lightened and gain a greater share of the benefits of invention, but the injunction, ‘By The Sweat Of Thy Brow Shalt Thou Eat Thy Bread,’ was not formed for any one century, but for the ages.”

Amy should have known it was going to be an awful summer from the moment Jake Peralta appeared on her front doorstep carrying a dog.

“Morning, Ames,” he chirps, irritatingly cheerful, as if he’s passing her in the hallway at school rather than standing in front of her house during the sadly fleeting time of year she’s supposed to be free of this bullshit. “Cheddar, say hi to Amy.”

The corgi swaddled in his arms, predictably, doesn’t respond. Jake fixes it with an offended frown. “Well, that was rude.”

Amy sneezes a lot and thinks longingly of her bowl of oatmeal squares, now growing soggy on the kitchen counter. Her life was so much simpler ten minutes ago. 

“What are you doing here?” she asks, once her sinuses are no longer actively trying to eject her brain from her body via her nose.

How To Make Cake Pops ….EASILY!!!

<h5>“Learn how to make cake pops the easy way. Featuring tips and techniques to make and decorate perfect cake pops at home!”</h5> <p> </p> <h3>Visual learner? Watch me make these cake pops from start to finish!</h3> <p> <img src="https://ift.tt/3iLfcQZ" alt="how to make cakpops cake pops recipe tutorial" /> </p> <p> </p> <p>I thought I HATED cake pops. I made them for a baby shower a few years ago, and they were a pain in the hind parts!</p> <p>All that daggum freezing and refreezing, dipping, twirling, decorating, and ugh that texture!! Ewww!!</p> <p>It was soggy, grainy, and tasted like someone had chewed it up already. My hubby sat quietly, ate the whole thing, and calmly said: “you don’t have to make these again, please”.</p> <p>I seriously did not see what all the cake pop hype was about, but I kept getting requests to “PLEASE DO A CAKE POP TUTORIAL!”. I can’t seem to say no to you guys, so I got back in the kitchen to figure these things out. Something had to give!</p> <p> <img src="https://ift.tt/3lx3VWh" alt="how to make cake pops tutorial" /> </p> <p> </p> <h2>I discovered that I LOVED cake pops. Here’s what I learned:</h2> <strong>Cake Pop Making Tips</strong> <ol> <li><strong>Go EASY On The Frosting</strong>: What a lot of folks failed to mention in the cake pop tutorials that I was following was to ONLY ADD A LITTLE BIT OF FROSTING. That is super important!! Most cakes are already moist. Too much frosting, and it’s ruined, in my opinion, not unless you add more cake.</li> <li><strong>Use Your Hands To Mix:</strong> It really helps to mix it up with your hands so that you can get the feel of it. When I used a spoon to mix it up, it looked as if I wasn’t putting in enough frosting, but it turned out that it was way too much when I went to make a ball. The cake should still be a bit crumbly even when the frosting is mixed in.</li> <li><strong>Mini Ice Cream/Cookie Scoop Works Great:</strong> Use a mini ice cream scoop to scoop out the “dough” so that you will have equal portions.</li> <li><strong>No Need To Keep Refreezing-</strong> I only placed these in the freezer once. Twice if you plan on bagging them or you want to speed up the final setting time.</li> <li><strong>Use A Deep, Narrow Cup For Dipping: </strong>The melted chocolate/candy coating should be deep enough to submerge the cake ball completely to avoid having to twirl it around. **NEW METHOD* Another method I saw on Cupcake Wars recently was to place the melted chocolate in a bowl, place the cake pop in the bowl and then spoon the chocolate on.</li> <li><strong>Box Cake Is Just Fine</strong>- If you’re not against the ingredients, make it easy for yourself and just purchase a box cake and make some homemade frosting. No one will know.</li> <li><strong>Use A Styrofoam Holder-</strong> A block of Styrofoam makes a really great holder to stick the cake pops in while they are drying, and it’s cheap.</li> </ol> How To Make Cake Pops With Cake Mix <p>As much as I love all things from scratch on this site when it comes to “food projects” like cake pops, I usually turn to the box cake mix and a can of frosting route. It’s so much quicker!</p> <p>Although if I’m making these for someone, I sometimes do a homemade frosting (depending on how much I like the person).</p> <p>Box cakes are usually very moist, so you’ll only need to use a little bit of frosting for these cake pops. It’s all about the frosting-cake ratio!</p> <p> </p> <strong>Homemade Frosting For Cake Pops</strong> <p>If you’re looking for the homemade frosting to use with your cake pops, these are my two favorites!</p> <p>The Real Cream Cheese Frosting and this Old-Fashioned Chocolate Frosting. These frostings are so creamy with that homemade taste.</p> <p>No one will ever know you use a box cake (if you do) with these from-scratch frostings!</p> <p> <img src="https://ift.tt/3uXK5WU" alt="chocolate buttercream frosting recipe" /> <img src="https://ift.tt/3DnYzCC" alt="easy cream cheese frosting recipe" /> </p> Cake Pop Ingredients <p>To make these quick and easy cake pops, you’ll need:</p> <ul> <li>1/2 prepare 9 x13 cake ( I used chocolate)</li> <li>chocolate frosting (homemade or store-bought), you’ll only need a few spoonfuls, seriously!</li> <li>Chocolate or Candy Coating (for dipping) I use to only use chocolate; now I swear by candy melts! All those fun colors just speak to me!</li> <li>Sprinkles (because they are just so doggone cute!)</li> </ul> Making Cake Pops With Leftover Cake <p>Using leftover cake to make cake pops is the best!! We don’t have leftover cake in my house very often, but when we do, it’s on and poppin!</p> <p>That leftover cake turns into cake pops, and then all of a sudden, people are in the mood for cake again! Isn’t it funny how you can put something on a stick, and everybody wants it?</p> <p>When making cake pops with leftover cake, you want to scrape off the frosting first and place it in a bowl.</p> <p>You definitely won’t need all the frosting. Crumble the cake up and then add in the frosting a little at a time until the cake can hold its shape once formed into a tight ball.</p> <p>These cake pops are what I consider cake pop perfection!!! They are the best cake pops I’ve ever had. The texture is fluffy AND moist, and it was nowhere near as messy and time-consuming as my first attempts at making cake pops.</p> <p> <img src="https://ift.tt/3DnYA9E" alt="how to make cake pops cake pop tutorial" /> </p> <p>Now, if you’re looking for a tutorial on how to decorate cake pops…ugh, I’m not the girl for the job!! Sprinkles is as good as it gets over here : )</p> <p>Even without fancy decoration, these cake pops can still make a pretty cute, cheap, and festive gift idea! Let your imagination run wild!</p> <p> </p> <strong>CAKE POP FAQS</strong> <p><strong>Can I make these the day before?</strong> You sure can! But I’d use candy melts instead of chocolate. That way, you can store them on the counter and not have to worry about the chocolate melting and smearing on the treat bag. Plus, candy melts come in so many fun colors!</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>HELPFUL CAKE POP MAKING SUPPLIES</p> <p>&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;br /&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;br /&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;br /&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt; &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;br /&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;br /&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;br /&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;br /&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;br /&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;br /&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;</p> <p>Give these cake pops a try, and let me know what ya think!

Berry Bliss Truffle Ball CBD-Infused Dog Treats

This recipe delivers antioxidants and flaxseed along with CBD Oil, aiding in the dog’s health and digestion. Ingredients - ¾ cup dog-friendly berries mashed or pureed - 2 tbsp. coconut oil warmed to liquid - 3 tbsp. ground flax seed - Sprinkle of Ceylon cinnamon (optional) - Approximately 1/4 cup coconut flour - Fine desiccated coconut (or other coating option) for rolling - CBD oil

Directions Thoroughly mash the berries in a mixing bowl (or puree for a more uniform truffle texture), and stir in the coconut oil. Add the ground flaxseed and incrementally add coconut flour. Add a little extra coconut flour or water if needed to adjust consistency to a nice sticky dough - precise measures can vary depending on the liquid in your fruit. The coconut oil will firm up when chilled, so this dough may feel slightly crumbly when warm. Press into small bite-sized balls, coat in coconut, and refrigerate until firm.

Tips and Tricks

These treats should be kept refrigerated and can be frozen for longer storage. Defrost cool or in the fridge so that you don't accidentally heat them up and melt them. Our dogs have also happily eaten a few straight from frozen in hot weather! Berries can be used fresh or thawed from frozen.In addition to being doggone delicious and fragrant, cinnamon offers some great health benefits to dogs (and people); however, it's not suitable for everyone. Pregnant/nursing dogs in particular should not be given cinnamon. Ceylon cinnamon is the recommended variety for dogs if/when used. Coconut flour is a good option for gluten-free / grain-free pet treats, but it’s also a pretty healthy choice outright: it is high in fiber, high in protein, and low-GI relative to alternatives. Coconut flour is also very absorbent, which is part of getting the right consistency and balance in these treats.

How to Move

I’ve moved quite a few times in my life both when I lived with my mom and on my own, so here are my expert moving tips for a less stressful move. Enjoy!

Before packing:

1. Scout out the place you’re moving to. Is it smaller or larger than where you currently live? 

If it’s smaller, go through your items as you pack and try to organize items you don’t want or need anymore into items to sell, donate, and throw away. You can do this for knickknacks, clothes, shoes, anything. For the donate and throw away items, you can put them into large trash bags and take them to their respective places. TIP: If you don’t sell your items by the time it’s about two days before you’re going to move to your new place, go ahead and donate them. You don’t want the added stress of moving those items later and trying to find a place for them. 

If the new place is larger, as you’re packing, think of what you’ll need (if anything) for the new place. Will you finally have a dining room? Then you’ll need a table with at least two chairs. Does the new place have a place for a washer and dryer? Well doggone you’ll need a washer and dryer. As you’re packing, make a list of what you’ll need and if you need it immediately or if it can wait and roughly how much it’ll cost so you’ll know how much you need to save and account for in your budget.

2. While looking at your new place, note any work that needs to be done.

Do any of the rooms, counters, floors, windows, appliances need to be cleaned/removed? If any of this needs to be done, I would let your landlord know right away. They should get it taken care of. However, some places don’t do that and they’ll usually even knock off some of the total deposit or first month’s rent if you do it yourself. If you decide to do it yourself, make sure you have all of the cleaners and supplies you’ll need such as window cleaner, wood cleaner/polisher, a vacuum, broom, dustpan, mop, paper towels, floor cleaner, disinfectant wipes, and trash bags/boxes. Also take note if your windows need blinds or curtains and remember to budget for that if you don’t already have blinds or curtains.

3. Ask your landlord if you can start to bring items and boxes by before you move in. If it’s allowed, this’ll be a great help for when you start to move stuff over.

4. Make sure you have everything you need to start packing. You’ll need boxes and/or totes, trash bags, packing tape, and newspaper or any other items you could use to wrap any of your breakables in (or maybe no newspaper if you choose to wrap your breakables in clothes and blankets that you already own).

Packing:

1. Do it by room, Start, within that room, with the things you won’t need for the next week or so.

2. If you’re using cardboard boxes, use packing tape on the bottom.

3. When you’re finished packing each box, label the room and items in the box. i.e kitchen, cooking bowls. This will be a life saver when you’re unpacking.

4. As you pack, clean. Dust and wipe down the surfaces, sweep, mop, wipe down the windows, etc. so you won’t have to do it later. Doing it room by room is so much easier.

5. If you can take items over to your new place beforehand, go ahead and do that. Don’t stack your boxes and items all over the place. If your box says kitchen, go ahead and put it in the kitchen. It’s going to make unpacking way better.

6. When moving big items like furniture, see if you have a friend who’s willing to help with a truck or trailer. You can always offer to take them out to lunch as thanks for their help.

7. Like six, if you decide you want someone to help you move, you can take them out for lunch or order some delivery and have some snacks and a beverage like a little get together. I personally don’t like when other people try to help me move because they don’t do things the way I like but hey, whatever works for you bud.

8. Once you’ve got everything moved out of your old place, go through every drawer, closet, and cabinet one last time to make sure you didn’t leave anything crucial or sentimental behind. Some things people commonly forget are their shower heads, ceiling fans, and light switch covers. If you installed any of these things, remember to take them with you and to replace the originals if there were any.

Unpacking:

1. Again, start by rooms. Depending on the room, if may be easier to start with the smaller items or the furniture first. For the kitchen and bathrooms I’d start with smaller items. For the living room and dining area, start with the furniture and bigger items.

2. You can also do like seven above and have a moving party to help unpack.

Miscellaneous

1. Remember to check your fridge and pantry to see what foods you do and don’t have and go to the grocer’s for food that you’ll need for the week.

2. On the same not, depending on how well you stock your fridge, for the week or two before you’re going to move, try not to buy any food for your old place. Eat and use what you have if you can so you won’t stress about any food ruining in the moving process.

3. Remember to change your address for sites like amazon, and for magazine subscriptions, news, etc.

4. Leave your new address to your previous landlord/post office so he/she can forward any mail that you accidentally receive at the old address.

5. If you’re moving counties/states, remember to check in with the DMV, your healthcare provider, optometrist, and dentist.

6. If at all possible, try to call and have your lights, water, cable, etc. set up a few days before you move in so you won’t be bored in the dark on your first night there. Keep in mind when scheduling that you’ll most likely have to be present for the cable/internet.

I hope this helps anyone who’s moving in the future and may be stressing and feeling overwhelmed.
