Your pomegranate choice is interesting. Pomegranate seeds supply women with a certain type of estrogen that actually helps you lose weight!

 Really?!  I had no idea!

*goes out to buy more POM Teas* 

Hmmm . . . I may have to look for some yummy do-it-yourself dip recipes.  I thought about just using low-cal salad dressing, but making something could be more interesting.

Definitely not a hummus fan though - not a taste I was ever able to acquire.  I think it's a texture thing for me.

I enjoy Pilates, and I've heard that it "lengthens", but to be honest, I've never had to work out to control my weight before (damn you, twenties!  *shakes fist*), so I'm kind of clueless. 

I am SO impressionable when it comes to food.  Commercials were MADE for me.  Any mention of something yummy can make me crave it.  LOL

Fortunately, my will power is decent enough that I don't run out and get everything I crave.  Otherwise I'd be in soooooo much trouble!

I've never understood the purebred name thing.  I guess that's because we've always had mutts.

To be honest, because of the requirements and limitations, you're almost guaranteed to end up with a knobby-sounding registered name no matter what you do. 

The name has to include the kennel name (at the beginning in North America, at the end in Germany - as is the case with Weims because they're a German dog), not be a duplicate of a name already in the registry, and contain no more than 30 characters, start to finish, including the kennel name, given name, spaces and punctuation.  It has proven to be much more difficult to come up with something than I thought it would be.

I think Slate would be better than Slade, but it's your dog. And Slated for Success was my favorite.

Then again, I'm so far removed from this dogs-as-showpieces mentality. I'm a pound puppy girl...

My first dog was a rescue.  :)

But a Weimaraner is a dog I have always wanted, and due to the improper breeding and poorly-monitored genetics that are unfortunately so common (and the fact that I want to compete in Agility which is physically demanding and high-impact) I decided that going to a meticulously researched breeder was the route for me this time around.

Few more possibilities.  Just throwing them out there . . .

Thanks for the tip!

Grayson has been the definite front-runner any time I've talked names with anyone.  I've had my moments of attachment to Slade . . . I think more recently it has to do with the fact that Slade has been easier to tie the registered name to.

Not that it's necessary, but I would have liked for the registered name to "match" the call name.  I can't get anything to rhyme with grayson, and putting "gray" in there just seems so . . . typical . . . given that he's a Weim.  The best I've come up with is either "Pewter Gray Powerplay" or "Gray Son of Mercury".  Neither of them "speaks to me".

*sigh*

Any ideas?

1. youhavenoidea and swimgirl, stop agreeing with me.  i didn't come in here to slam parents.  if that's what you think i was saying, you misread my post.

I didn't "slam parents".  I in fact pointed out that I have respect for PARENTS.  Just not people who, on principle, think they are better, more noble, etc. than anyone, simply because they chose to breed, where others (who are perfectly capable of the same) have not.

What I AGREED with, was the affirmation of the ridiculousness of one arbitrarily placing themselves, above anyone else.

I like them whole with a little bit of salt on them.  Same goes for raw potatoes.

Raw radishes will give you the WORST breath though. 

POUTINE!!!!!!!!!!

And Fries Supreme from Taco Bell  *swoons*

And Garlic Pan Bread from Jack Astor's  *droolz*

And giant footlong tuna subs with extra mayo from Subway! 

Oh, man, I have to stop.    I may not make it through the night. I may die of decadence withdrawal.

I entered a banana yesterday and it suggested a eat a fresh banana. I guess my banana wasn't fresh, but how did it know?

Ahahahahahahahaha!

MIRACLE WHIP!!!!! Amazing! And better for you than Mayo.. but same taste...

I'm a Miracle Whip fan too.  I in fact find it tastes better than conventional mayo.  The fat free-kind that I use is I think 10 or 15 cals per TBSP instead of the usual 40 in the regular stuff.  I can't tell the difference between the fat-free and regular whatsoever.
