Posh Pet Hotel Opens In San Francisco

I went to the grand opening this weekend. This place looks so sweet. They sound top notch and the pricing was very reasonable. They were totally showing Lady and the Tramp on the LCD TVs in the luxury suites. (The tour leader said plasma like the art, but they were 25-ish inch LCDs) (May 15, 2007 | post #1)

What does it say for the willpower (at attention to the importance of fitness) of the average American, when we can't even keep the weight in check of an animal whose entire food supply is externally controlled. (Jan 5, 2007 | post #2)

1 Missing Climber Found Dead on Mt. Hood

Sure these climbers did something stupid when they decided to go try climbing against the inclement weather. Every climber knows they take their lives in their own hands when they choose to push themselves to the limits, and every climber better damn well know that climbing in a snow storm is a bad idea. That being said, I also don't want our emergency service personnel to be thinking about how stupid someone is, and choosing whether or not to rescue them. I've done enough brain-dead things in my life (at sea level. I'm careful when I'm on a mountain and thankfully haven't needed support there) where I don't want the EMT's saying, "Well he was too stupid to avoid that car going the wrong way on the freeway. It's Darwin's way." (Dec 17, 2006 | post #8)

I'm just saying: Aren't you supposed to be having health problems if you're doing a hunger strike correctly? (Feb 27, 2006 | post #6)

Aren't these the people that say "if you haven't done anything wrong, why should you care if we see what you do"? (Feb 27, 2006 | post #2)

Can someone explain to me what the purpose of a hunger strike is if not to have self-inflicted detrimental "health reasons"? (Feb 27, 2006 | post #4)
