@MyHeritage Your Family Tree software (for macOS, at least) is reporting a trojan horse virus inside of it. This is the only way I can find to report this quickly and directly without purchasing a subscription first?!
@KrissyInColor The Shining with Jack Nicholson and Psycho with Anthony Perkins. More psycho-thriller but good movies to watch, especially if you’ve read the books.
Dog Poisoned by the Diffuser
Saturday night I got home late and my dog didn't recognize me. Being a nanny I thought I woke him up and he was having a night terror. Sunday, he was still acting weird. I realized that I had been running my new diffuser and decided to turn it off. Sunday afternoon, he was feeling better.
Today at work, my dog sitter said that he wouldn't come out from under the bed. It was very odd as he is a happy dog.
I came from work early and again, he was very confused about who I was.
So I took him to emergency vet.
It turns out that the tea tree oil I was using in the diffuser is toxic for dogs. Thankfully the test showed that his liver was ok but we weren't out of the woods yet. He was given fluids under his skin to get the toxins out.
The vet and the poison control are saying that they see these cases often now that the popularity of essential oil is growing.
Please make sure that the essential oils you are burning are not toxic for your pets.

Anise (Pimpinella anisum)
Birch (Betula)

@KrissyInColor Firing a customer is a thing. I'm happy to authorize giving a customer their money back and sending them on their way if warranted. Obviously, it's a bit more challenging when they are using a free account. 😉
@SimonBallTweets They looked to have lived a long life of Riley and I imagine they will continue to do so at the Rainbow Bridge. Until you meet again, may you take comfort in knowing that. Best memories and kind thoughts.
@Synther4 As I said, I knew I would regret replying all the same. As it is, no amount of “explaining” or “reading comprehension” score is going to change something so ingrained. I simply disagree and hold a different light to how a requirement is to be met, regardless of current “norms.”
@Synther4 I’m not disputing what is written. I’m just saying suspending one’s belief to play with mythical beasts should not include ignoring the societal norms of passing “grades” as an example. Please feel free to argue with any institution requiring a specific % and say less passes.
@Synther4 I’m probably going to regret this… “if 60% is required” this reads you need at least 60% to “pass” or in other words 60 + 0 or _greater_ to succeed not lower.
