Keep an eye out. Really, the big issue is if they ate dark chocolate. The more cocoa, the more caffeine-like chemicals which can cause issues with dogs. I did read that the potential lethal dose for milk chocolate is one ounce per pound of body weight, or 62 grams of milk chocolate per 1 kg of body weight.

Joy: Taking my mother out to Olive Garden tonight after I went to a restaurant yesterday with my boyfriend and his family

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Fri Jan 08, 2016 3:47 pm

From what i gathered, she's 50 in weight and ate only 4 ounces of it. Unfortunately we were to take her to the vet today, but the battery in the car died of all days. Still trying to get her to the vet.

She looks to be doing ok, though. vet on the phone just says to watch for any extensive drinking and make sure she's not puking too much. she only puked twice since eating the chocolate, which is ok to the vet.

Well that is good to know that your dog is OK then.

Joy: It's my birthday!

Happy (late) birthday Megamaster!

Joy: Today (Saturday), Sunday, and Monday, the little chatroom I run is gonna have three birthdays in a row- and one is mine! What're the odds?

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sat Jan 09, 2016 4:36 pm

I'd say that the odds are very slim but hey, looks like you get your time to shine then!

Sorrow: I accidentally cut the side of my hand with a butcher's knife due to mishandling. The wound's small but deep and cleanly split revealing the flesh. My mum tried to patch it up, but I sweat too much, and the bandage fell off

joy: I'm glad it was just that and nothing more. I'm also glad I took the situation calmly and did not go into a panic attack or something, despite a part of me desperately wanting me to

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sun Jan 10, 2016 3:58 pm

If something like that happened to me, I would be panicking and dialing 911.

Yeah, you really took that well. I would have panicked had that happen to me.

Sorrow: I can't tell if I'm just tired or sad. Either way, my sorta bad schedule is starting to get to me. It's not that because I'm so busy all the time that I can't catch a break. I actually have enough break time in between some of my classes. It's just that from Mondays to Thursdays, my classes end at around night time (past 7:30pm basically), and it's really difficult especially with the 1-2 hour commute home.

I guess it's partially because I'm used to getting minor cuts and bruises on my arms and legs all the time, some without even me realizing it. My mum also happens to be a nurse with 30 years of experience, so knowing that eases my worries. Finally, being the optimistic pessimist that I am, I had thought of the worst case scenarios when it comes to physical accidents, and planned my action plans ahead if they were to ever happen.

Joy: The wound is healing nicely; not much of a gap between the two sections

Just hang in there, it's more likely to happen than you might think. During my first year, back in my ex-uni, my classes were between 8am to 10pm, with only 3 hours of break between them for two days and 6 for the rest of the weekdays. If that's any consolation to you, I think you're just adapting mentally to having a long day is all

Joy: Got a new bluetooth radio

Sorrow: Slowly running out of space on my PC, only 60 GB left. On a 1 terrabyte harddrive

CosmicCoyote · Post by **CosmicCoyote** » Mon Jan 11, 2016 1:16 pm

Joy: I had a phone interview today, first of the new year. Job sounds very promising!

Sorrow: I'm now totally worried about how well I did, and will probably continue to do so for the rest of today and probably tomorrow until I hear back. So many things have gone wrong searching for a job, I just want something go right for once.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Mon Jan 11, 2016 4:29 pm

Your sorrow is what I tend to do with EVERYTHING! I worry and worry if I did something right and then when it gets so much, I just give up on it and stop doing it. Its how neurotic I am.

Joy: Finally have a date for the service of my car.
Joy: Its way less i have to spend at the garage then at the official Skoda Repair Shop 220 to 700+ €

Joy: Plans for my big 2016 Project are Advancing :3

Well, at least is no worse than my HDD problem

My PC while has approximately 400GB left out of 1TB, the HDD is going very slowly and the diagnostics says that my HDD is going to break. And my Mom and Dad has 40% of their photos there and no backup of them.

Sorrow: My closest friend passed away last night. I hadn't seen him in a while, only over the last few weeks before he was hospitalized for blood clots and an infection on his pacemaker. When I last saw him a few days ago, he looked strong, like he was going to get through this. Goes to show how quickly life can change. He was a good man, the nicest most selfless person I had the pleasure to know. If only I had spent more time with him.

Cesco · Post by **Cesco** » Tue Jan 12, 2016 2:03 pm

Condolences for the loss, dryideabat.

I am SO sorry for your loss dryideabat. I will be praying for you to get through this as best as you can.

CosmicCoyote · Post by **CosmicCoyote** » Tue Jan 12, 2016 6:29 pm

Well that's certainly dour news. You have my sympathies.

Joy: Made it to the next round of interviews. Now I need to brush up on the programming languages I haven't touched in a while before the technical eval.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Tue Jan 12, 2016 10:46 pm

That sounds like it is really good Cosmic! Hope you get the job!

Sorrow: Something popped in my foot and it really hurts

UPDATE: Turns out that pop was likely my achilles tendon. I'm finding ways to avoid the pain as well.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Thu Jan 14, 2016 1:41 am

That sounds really painful. Hope you will be able to do something for the pain.

CosmicCoyote · Post by **CosmicCoyote** » Thu Jan 14, 2016 11:01 am

Ouch. That'll hurt.

Sorrow: No, Alan Rickman, nooooo

Radio Blue Heart · Post by **Radio Blue Heart** » Thu Jan 14, 2016 9:32 pm

Sorrow:

My mom is seriously considering divorcing my stepfather. I knew they had their fights but never did it seem this bad.

One of the drivers at work got irate with me (as they are prone to do) and didn't like my attitude. He called in and complained to the boss and now I have been written up. I still have a month and half of training left and I already have a disciplinary report. Nothing makes a high stress job more stressful than having someone tittletattle on you like its junior high.

I want the world to just go away.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Fri Jan 15, 2016 3:46 am

I'm so sorry for everything Radio Blue Heart. I hope you can get through this.

ShadowLightning · Post by **ShadowLightning** » Fri Jan 15, 2016 5:08 am

I'm sorry to hear that, Radio. I can understand the feeling, but I know it'll get better.

Sorrow: I cracked the screen of my phone. It's not all that obvious, but I feel bad for not taking care of my stuff.

trekkie · Post by **trekkie** » Fri Jan 15, 2016 8:09 am

Sorry, to hear about everything Radio. <hugs>

Sorrow:
Lost my job due to decreased volume at the warehouse.

Sorrow/Fury:
I lost another friend to a drunk driver.

Joy:
I have been sober for six months
Joy:
I am taking classes again.

Sorrow: My big brother have been fighting a flu and I think this got him on the ropes. I think his immune system is trying to fight against this flu for so long. Please wish the best that he will fight this flu and get well.

trekkie · Post by **trekkie** » Fri Jan 15, 2016 8:30 am

SilverballJim, I hope your brother feels better soon. The flu sucks

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Fri Jan 15, 2016 4:03 pm

I hope that your brother will make it through this. I will be thinking about him.
