QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 3, 2012 -> 04:28 PM) Now that I think about it, that thing could actually work for our dog. He's too old to try it now. But we feed him twice a day, half the time he won't eat it right away. Sometimes he eats half, sometimes he goes a whole day without eating. He seems to have the only eat when you are hungry thing down anyway. Are you planning on getting a dog after this one? You could always get one, try it with your current dog, and if he isn't using it properly, then you can just hold on to it for when you get another dog. It's seriously such a convenience. And I think this also contributes to our dogs never taking food off tables, plates, or any food that is not theirs. If it's not given to her directly, put on the floor, or in her feeder, she won't eat it. Completely different story when compared to my grandma's lab who does NOT have an automatic feeder and is prone to jumping up and grabbing food off the counter top, opening drawers and eating food, and trying to eat groceries. I guess when our dogs are never scared of being deprived of food, they don't feel the need to get in trouble by stealing food.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Feb 3, 2012 -> 01:54 PM) What is the benefit of doing this? ?????? I mean, it should be obvious, so the dog can eat when it wants, and you never have to put food out?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Feb 3, 2012 -> 02:04 PM) Wait, you are using a self feeder for your dogs, and you call others lazy for not teaching their dogs self control? What is good for the goose is not always good for the gander. Many dogs will completely gorge themselves until food is not available, you can't just teach them to eat until their stomachs are full. It is great it works for you, doesn't mean it would work for me. And I know it wouldn't. Lol, good point. And both dogs we have owned have eaten this way their whole lives w/ us. They eat when they are hungry, and stop when they are full. Neither ever had any sort of problems., and neither dog was overweight. Maybe we just had really smart dogs? Or maybe golden retrievers are smarter than a typical dog? Like I said, my brother just got a golden puppy a couple weeks ago and he just purchased a similar feeder. I'll let you guys know how it goes, but I am willing to bet it works for more dogs than you would think, as long as you start it when they are puppies.

QUOTE (knightni @ Feb 3, 2012 -> 01:37 PM) Except Wash got the Sox #1 pick too. Alex Meyer, who I might be interviewing in a couple weeks. Hmm....maybe I should ask him about that.

I don't remember what our dog gets. IAMS maybe? My brother just got a golden retriever puppy a couple weeks ago, and I am so excited to go home next weekend and play with her! Also, if you guys don't use an auto-matic feeder for your pets, you NEED to start doing this when you get a new pet (your current animal might flip out and eat itself in to a coma). This looks like the one we have for dog food. We've had it my whole life with both the dogs we have had. And then they drink from a similar thing, but smaller, and obviously for water. It's the best. No one has ever had to "feed the dog", just refill the feeder every couple weeks or so. I have never been to anyone's house who has one of these, and I don't understand why. People too lazy to train their dog to have self control?

^^^ Chicago one is pretty awful. Toronto one looks legit though.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Feb 2, 2012 -> 10:56 PM) $8M with incentives. Thats ridiculous for a projected 5 or 4 at best. Theo can have him, lol. I mean, unless years have been rumored, I'm not sure why everyone is freaking out about the $7M figure. If it's like a 6-7 year deal, I don't see the issue. If it's a 3-4 year deal, then yeah, that's risky.

QUOTE (CWSpalehoseCWS @ Feb 3, 2012 -> 01:28 AM) I honestly wouldn't mind if Mark won again. But Ozzie can suck it for all I care. Sounds like conflicting ideas.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Feb 2, 2012 -> 10:39 PM) Soler was always gonna get $20M +. Yeah, I had figured Soler for about $20M and Cepedes around $48M.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 2, 2012 -> 10:26 PM) The years really don't matter all that much if there's no out clause. I'm not following. I would think 7 yrs at $7M total would be a lot different than 1 yr at $7M, right?

I heard Goldstein float $7M around. I would have to think that's something like 4/5yrs at $7M. Right?

Damnit Cubs. The Sox REALLY need to get one of these 3 guys. We are 0/1 so far.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 2, 2012 -> 09:39 AM) Checked out the first two episodes of 'Workaholics' on Netflix last night. Pretty f***ing hilarious. Workaholics is f***ing hilarious. Keep watching, you won't be disappointed.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Feb 2, 2012 -> 01:12 PM) I've heard nothing but good things. May give it a shot. I gave it a shot a week ago, but I couldn't get over the strong accents. Shows like Merlin and The Borgias and movies like Harry Potter don't bother me, but I for some reason I found it really strenuous to listen to them speak.

1 less pitcher for Jays/Red Sox to compete over. Come on, offer up a nice package for Gavin!

Not sure if any of you guys ever use custom covers, but I used to use them all the time when I was younger. Haven't really used any in a few years, but decided to throw my request in to the wind at OS. Well, to my surprise, a Cubs fans jumped all over it and made this. If anyone is interested.......

So, the White Sox are still the only team not to sign anyone to their major league team this offseason, right?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jan 31, 2012 -> 11:37 PM) I agree. It'd be nice for this team to overachieve and individual players earn their salaries this year. Last year only a couple earned all that loot (Paulie, Mark, couple others maybe). Alexei, big time.

Shameless was great tonight. I'm glad Carl and Ethel are starting to get more storylines.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 29, 2012 -> 12:03 PM) Being a fan of Notre Dame baseball is more absurd than being a fan of Duke football. I am a fan of Notre Dame, and they just happen to have a baseball team. Notre Dame football is the only sport of theirs that I actively follow.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Jan 29, 2012 -> 01:11 AM) I thought it was lame. And someone needs to tell him that if NBC wants to mic you up then converse with the commentators and stop saying "you'll have to wait and see". He had the personality of a dead moth out there. I know hockey is pretty limited in what it can do for an events challenge but these festivities are pretty played out. I disagree w/ everything in this post. I thought his Superman thing was hilarious and very cool. And him saying "wait and see" actually brought out a lot of excitement in my non-hockey friends who were watching. They were all saying "I wonder what it's going to be! I'm pumped now". And I think NHL now has the best All-star events. The draft is a very cool way to make teams, the skills competition is great and rivals the HR Derby for me, and all-star games across all sports are pretty lame, but at least it's not like the NFL's where no one does it.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jan 29, 2012 -> 01:00 AM) It's like the 3rd line of the song. "No barking from the dog, no smog" Oh, the guy must have just forgot to include that.

Just looked up this Melissa Rauch chick...... DEFINITELY Kaley Cuoco

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jan 28, 2012 -> 10:43 PM) Oh jeez. I worry about you. I got it now, but I don't listen to Ice Cube, nor was I familiar w/ his songs, so it took me until I clicked the link to realize those were song lyrics he was referencing. Still don't get the one about the weather on that day though. He didn't include a lyric that mentioned it. Was it just in the video or something?
