    Everything but backdoor at a strip club here in Houston. Too embarrassed to say how much.

    it's going great! 3 months into it so far...he only eats pork, chicken, chicken hearts and some liver right now. i am pretty sure he eats kidneys since its attached to the chicken backs. i've been taking really slow with new proteins because he has a sensitive system (I suspect he has IBS). he had diarrhea in the house when i was at work a couple of months ago because i fed him too much pork with a boneless meal. oops. right now i am slowly transitioning him to more boneless meals because i have been feeding him bone every day. he just has loose stools when he gets boneless meals. other than that, its great. He has solid poops (much less than kibble poop) almost all the times so I am very happy. I believe raw feeding is best for him with his issues. When he has his poop system straightened up then i'll introduce whole prey foods to him. Not sure if I will be able to stomach that though. Raw feeding aspect also opened a whole wide world up for me with other stuff like flea meds, vaccines and etc. Raw feeding is more work than kibble but it is worth it. BIG THANK YOU for bringing it up. I am forever indebted to you. He and my future dogs will not eat kibble again.

    I can top that. In my baseball fantasy team last season I dropped Josh Hamilton after his slow start. Man baseball is so hard. But anyways, I've totaled 2 cars, and wreaked the other 2. And I also lost about a grand in stocks cause I didn't know what I was doing.

    Going to ITT Technical Institute. I felt like I wasn't learning anything and yet I got passing grades every quarter. If you get a loan to go there they will pass you no matter what to keep the money rolling in from the lender. One of my classmates even said "man, they're commercials look so bad ass but once you get here it ain't ****". I realized my mistake about 6 quarters/$7k into the program and dropped out. Thankfully it's paid off.
    6 years ago the cost for a two year program was $37k. Who knows how much it's jacked up now...What a scam this piece of **** "school" is.

    Now my sister is about to graduate from high school and wants to attend a legit college/university. ITT keeps sending her letters in hopes of luring her but I'm doing her a great favor by warning her and ripping them up right in her face before she even opens them.
