They’ve been inseparable for 11+ years. Y'all know I just can't handle the dog stuff, like, at all.😭 Very sorry to hear. They are sooo much better than people. My rockhead turned 8 on Wednesday. He's still just as energetic and spazzy as ever....but I can see his eyebrows and face getting whiter more readily. He still happily engages the folks/dogs he likes cranked to 11, but more and more often just wants to be left alone by anyone he doesn't already know (Which, I am recognizing in the moment, pretty much makes him the "me" of dogs. Yay?) Vet says he's in fantastic shape, but "can see telltale signs of some arthritis in his future". I, of course, now feel like a total a$$bag for letting him do agility stuff/jump hay bales/race when he was younger. I really need another drink, but he's currently asleep on my foot.

I hit BWW to see my favorite bartender and after 3 beers, rounded my tab up to $100. She's legit scared about making rent this month and beyond and she said she's fortunate because she doesn't have kids. Other servers who do are stressed to the max about Xmas gifts. Sucks. Sucks sucks sucks. I know lots of other people are affected too but the service industry people are getting crushed. I hate it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry that response was so short. What are you looking for in a Hulu-type package? I canceled because I was really only concerned about getting my local channels and found locast.org to take care of that without having to pay Hulu's $40/mo. Before Hulu, I had Sling. I found both to be about the same (for me), but both have different packages that can make getting exactly what you want a little more expensive.

mr. furley Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 some years ago @Dentist was looking for a new vacation destination and pooh-pooed the ABC islands because of the steady tradewinds, saying that winds had basically ruined a previous vacation. at the time i thought that seemed like a nonsense reason. a little wind never really bothered anyone. so it's breezy, so what? well, i'd like to retract that sentiment as we have basically had steady 15 - 25 mph winds every day since last fall. there are days where we're under 10mph, but those are far outweighed by high winds and i've got to say it's really ####### wearing me out. what should be pleasant, sunny weather days are ruined by 20+ mph winds with gusts over 30. when it's gloomy, cloudy and cool the extra kick in the bag of 25 mph winds to drop the temps another 15 degrees is just over the top. apologies for anything untoward i may have said about you, your family, your profession and/or your potential future progeny. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I guess I’m a significant security risk because if I enter the door lock code and I’m heading into the office when someone is getting to the door with a heavy box in their hands, I’m going to let them in rather than closing the door on them forcing them to put the box down and enter the code themselves while glaring at me through the glass.
