Truth they won't admit

Mariano

as Rivera came in from the bullpen.

The familiar Enter Sandman, which might as well be a dirge for every hitter who's had to face Rivera at Yankee Stadium, played at the home of the New York Mets. It easily won the night over God Bless America in the seventh or a live performance of Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond just before Rivera's entrance.

Rivera got to the mound and tipped his cap as the crowd and both dugouts rose to applaud, other relievers came out onto the warning track to show their appreciation.

"Nothing is better than this," Rivera said. "I appreciate all of it. From the fans. From the peers."

Baseball will not be the same as he retires this year.

Over-the-Counter Medications That Are Safe for Dogs (And How Much to Give!)

While veterinary care, lots of love, and a healthy lifestyle is the absolute best way to keep your pet feeling great, all dogs will experience at least some form of injury or illness in their lifetime. Did you know that there are many over-the-counter human medications that can be safe and effective for dogs, when used correctly?

Benadryl, or another branded antihistamine, can be incredibly useful for treating allergies, bug bites, or other causes of itchy skin. Buffered aspirin is an excellent anti-inflammatory and pain reliever. Even Dramamine can be used for dogs with motion sickness, and Immodium can treat diarrhea. However, dosages for dogs are much different than for humans.

Use the chart below to determine if your OTC medication is dog (and cat) safe and how much should be administered. Always check with your veterinarian that understands your pet’s health and history before giving any medications. Additionally, be certain that you’re using only the medication listed, not other ingredients. Many antihistamines, for example, include added decongestants that can be lethal for your dog. Check labels very carefully and when in doubt, don’t use.

I notice how DU has regularly turned on the President as if this is RU

Nothing he does is right. Yet, the majority of us voted for him a second time.


How sad for us we expose ourselves to ridicule from our political enemies and give them fodder to join in with our pillorying of the President.


This isn't the DU I remember. Folks making anti-Democratic statements were tombstoned, now they're just another opinion.


How sad for us.


How sad for us the elders who have left. I understand now.


Have a nice holiday.
