Something good, hopefully, like importing less wheat we can grow here just fine.
I don’t think we’ll be declaring war over pets, regardless. 😉
I’m simply astounded by the magnitude of this problem. Not everyone can afford to buy the SuperHumanQualityEliteOMGSoExpensive pet food. Especially when most of the human population doesn’t even feed themselves that well.
I can’t help but wonder if we’d be declaring war on China if this had gotten into *our* food!
Feline M/D and now a whole list of treats have been recalled.
If any of you feed the brands of food that were originally recalled, please check and make certain that there is no wheat in your product. Go down the ingredient list with a fine tooth comb!
Heehee, Dragoness. I date myself a lot, with a book and a bag of Act II 😉
And I loved those little gummies too, but my mother rarely ever bought them for us, or allowed us to spend our allowance on them. We had to settle for gummy bears.

It’s just a lot of work in a short time… along with teaching (daily lesson plans, grading papers) and taking my class and doing homework in Old English (learning to translate). *sigh* I haven’t had a stress-free semester outside of school either. My husband got Bell’s Palsy, my friend Jenn died, my 78-year-old mother has been falling down lately and I’m worried for her, and I have conventions to arrange — and “trying to pay the bills with a dwindling income” stress… it just seems like a lot sometimes. It’s no wonder I’ve been forgetting things like getting tables at conventions and renting hotel rooms… 😆 That’s what I mean when I say that grad school has made me dumb! 😆
Stress in general will cause lack of focus and forgetfulness. Hang in there, I’m sure you can do it!

Out of idle curiosity, what’s your major? Is this for a BA or Masters?
Aminopterin, a form of rat poison, was on the wheat imported from a source in china.

I remember those.. were they called Slurps or something? They came in weird shapes, like bugs.
Those were the ones! And I think I’ll stop dating myself now.

It was an honest apology 🙂 I dont want to drive anyone crazy. Well.. none of you guys anyway.
I spoke up because the comments were directed at the bidders at the time and one of them was me. Thats all. 🙂 I dont want any hard feelings. I was just asking.
Some of us have had this discussion on here before on whether or not it makes the peice higher if folks bid early. I dont think it does, but others do. I think snipers think they will get a peice cheaper if everyone waits till the end, but does it really affect what snipers will bid at the end? If I bid $500 now or $500 later, its still $500. I dont understand where the cheaper part comes in… snipers got any feedback?Ahh, OK. I guess you could compare it to losing out in a game of musical chairs the very first time the music stops. You can’t even say ‘well…I had a good run?’ 😛
Windstones are very nice, but I can’t say I’d really have any hard feelings losing one to someone to got it first. They’re just things, after all. Very nice things that are pretty to look at, but I do have classwork I should get more upset about. 😉

Tell me about it. People drive me crazy when they drive the price so high its out of my reach within hours. It’s a good thing for Windstone, of course, but not for the rest of us.
Whats the difference whether its out of your reach in hours or out of your reach within days? Either way… its out of your reach. Who cares when it happens? That bid is mine, and yes, I know how to snipe. Do I feel like doing it? No. And Rusti, Im sorry if it drives you crazy. Not my intention.Why so defensive lately? I wasn’t calling anybody out, just expressing an opinion, and I’m pretty sure that’s what Emerald was doing too… I would never have known the bid was yours if you hadn’t opened your mouth. You could’ve just rubbed your hands together and snickered to yourself in private instead of getting irritated and crabby (which is what you’re coming across as, whether you intended it or not).
There’s nothing wrong with us fussing just a little that we were out of the game so quickly, just like there’ll be nothing wrong with the winner getting excited about it.
Ummmm.. that was an apology, not defensiveness, crabbiness, or irritability. I know some folks get annoyed by people who put in there bid early, just like others get annoyed by people who snipe. Like you are entitled to your opinion, I am entitled to mine. No reason to get nasty. My post was not meant to be mean. Only ask a legitimate question. You could have simply answered “Because I like being the high bidder for a while” or some other answer.

ss at the last second! 😆Bladder blockages suck too. They’re a whole host of problems in and of themselves.
I can’t quite remember the last time I got stressed on ebay, bidding on something, but I do remember silently freaking out over the prospect of going into debt with a new car (which hasn’t happened…yet.)
