Dander

Dander is an informal term for a material shed from the body of various animals, similar to dandruff. It is composed of skin cells, and can be a cause of allergies in humans. Older etymology has it that dander is a dialect synonym of dandruff, possibly from Yorkshire in England.

Dander is microscopic, and can be transported through the air. Through the air, dander can enter the mucous membranes in the lungs, causing allergies to some individuals. Skin flakes that come off the main body of an animal are dander while the flakes of skin called dandruff come from the scalp. Pet dander is generally worse in older animals than in younger animals, as older animals slough more skin cells.

    Still Be With Me

    by: Dondria

    [Verse 1:]
    It'd taken me forever to call, I needed a little while
    You know that being emotional usually ain't my style
    But since it's just me talking to you, there's a side that I wanna show
    Cause if I can't come to you, where else can I go?
    Ever since we been apart boy life ain't fair
    Remember when you left, remember what I said
    I said that I didn't care
    Yes I said a lot of things, but half of them I didn't mean
    And right now I couldn't be more sinceer, listen to me
    [Chorus:]
    The first time I ever had my heart broken it was by you boy, you boy
    And the first time I ever had a real kiss, it was you boy (you taught me)
    You taught me how to treat somebody sweet, (ooh, ooh, ooh)
    I remember when you told me that you love me (ooh ooh ooh)
    And if I knew everything that I know right now back then,
    You would probably still be with me boy
    [Verse 2:]
    The fussin and fightings on you,
    Yes there were things I did wrong, but still you had your faults
    And at times you couldn't take truth
    I swore that I was in control, just knew I was invincible
    But two or three months alone and I just wanted you back home
    [Chorus:]
    The first time I ever had my heart broken it was by you boy, you boy
    And the first time I ever had a real kiss, it was you boy (ooh boy you taught me)
    You taught me how to treat somebody sweet, (yes you did, yes you did)
    I remember when you told me that you love me (oh boy)
    And if I knew everything that I know right now back then,
    You would probably still be with me boy (me-e ooh)
    [Bridge:]
    ... baby I miss you... and when I see you with her
    All I do is... and put the blame all on myself (yea, heh)
    [Chorus:]
    The first time I ever had my heart broken it was by you boy, you boy(it was the moment you walked away baby, baby)
    And the first time I ever had a real kiss, it was you boy (I remember you taught me)
    You taught me how to treat somebody sweet, (you taught me how to treat somebody sweet)
    I remember when you told me that you love me (I remember, do you remember)
    And if I knew everything that I know right now back then,
    You would probably still be with me boy
    (Me boy, me boy, me boy, ohhh me boy, me boy, me boy
    And I would probably still be with you boy, you boy, you boy
    Said if I knew everything that I know right now back then
