Recalls / warnings: Adderall, Ritalin, Strattera and other ADHD drugs, Ambien, Lunesta, Restoril and other sleeping pills, Actimmune, Xolair, and Salivart Oral Moisturizer.

More on the full feeds / partial feeds debate. (Yesterday’s debate was in these comments.) And I just have to say… way to go Melanie!!!

Whoa, can you say “self-centered“??

Not unless I see a head coming out!

QueenieB needs your advice on depression.

Surprise, surprise, this book is now on backorder. But I ordered one anyway.

Eddie Van Halen is now the official sponsor of my nightmares — what the HELL happened to him???

The upshot of this post is that the Bloggers Choice Awards won’t end until October. I am positive I cannot sustain my enthusiasm that long. You?

Ugh, the beginning of the South Beach Diet SUCKS! (It gets better, though.) But at least Kelly feels up to sharing the funny. Snort!

And we got another bunch of pictures of our new puppy. She’s a Labradoodle and we’ll call her Lucy. We get to pick her up in about 2 weeks!

Interesting about the full feed/partial feed thing. I noticed my site traffic went up considerably went I went to partial feeds. I don’t mind partials at all myself. I figure you’ve got 2-3 sentences to pull me in, and if it sounds interesting, I will go read. If it’s obviously a post about nothing, I haven’t wasted any time.

What an adorable puppy! Congrats!

And I’ve thought about doing a partial feed in the past, just to improve click-thru rate, but decided it was better to stick with full feed. I don’t want to look totally desperate in getting additional ad revenue.

Oh, your pup is so schweet!

Thanks for the pertinent recall info.

I just can’t believe the state of Eddie Van Halen! No wonder Valerie Bertinelli left him. I think she looks cute as ever in those Jenny Craig commercials, even if she has put on a few pounds.

Hey, if the Blogger’s Choice Awards don’t end until October, maybe someone will take pity on me and nominate me by then. ;)

I hate dogs, and even I want to SQUEE!!!

I’m taking the button off my site. Anything that takes that long is pointless in my books.

And another vote for full feeds. If I have the time to check my feeds, I want the entire thing in there. otherwise, doesn’t get read. Period.

The puppy is soooo cute! We love our doodle-they are awesome family pets. Please make sure to post some pictures when you bring her home.

They breed labradoodles in black/brown? I feel like a real twit not knowing that. I always thought they were bred with Goldies only. I’ll have to send my husband this picture as he’ll be interested to hear this news too. We are planning to get a dog, probably in the fall, but settling on a breed has proven difficult.

Congrats PJ, she’s beautiful!

Adorable puppy!

I may go back to full feeds after reading the comments and article. I want people to read me, so if they do it in a feed and not click thru to my site…oh well. Thanks for the heads up, Erika!
