Pet Thread!!

Thank you for ticking all the boxes on why to rent. Mobility is nice, but I’m also more than willing to pay a little extra money for someone else to manage the property, especially when it come to maintenance and repairs. And for many years my income was not very high or very stable, and trying to buy a house would…

Same here, especially works for me because I have a lot of self-employment income and I pay quarterly taxes, and paying a penalty for underestimating those can really hurt. My refund is usually less than my quarterly payment and I just roll it into my first quarter payment, so that seems like an okay margin to me.

Your example brings up what I don’t see talked about much in these spanking discussions - there are some actions that can have seriously painful, debilitating, and/or deadly consequences for your children. Running into the road, playing with fire, undoing their seatbelt/carseat restraints - if spanking is what it…

You’re responsible for the DECLINE AND FALL of Western Civilization, jackass.

Isn’t everything? And I wasn’t being negative about Vasquez and Drake at all. I had never really thought about it before, but when I saw that picture I thought, “That’s the kind of couple I want to be. Find someone who looks at you like Drake looks at Vasquez...”

But that’s the problem - a lot of candles, essential oils, incense, perfumes, etc., drive me crazy and can induce migraines. That’s what I meant by “good” smells.  

Vasquez and Drake may be my favorite movie couple.

The cynical military brat in me suspects that healthcare and other benefits are why they may be dragging their feet on appeals like this.

Yeah, no, I wish my sense of smell was worse. Most of the time I’m trying to find ways to keep even “good” smells away from my nose.

Oh, no, not really, no worries.  I was more OMG, I must have sounded like I thought the lack of chaperones was okay? No, no, no! And I thought you were right, I don’t think pelvics are ever included in routine sports physicals.

I was in no way defending the lack of chaperones, or defending a sports doctor doing a pelvic, really, for any reason, even for an injury to the area. I guess I was more thinking of how for some teenagers, especially those with limited financial means, the yearly sports physical may be the only general checkup they…

Well, most sports also require a yearly general physical looking for any medical problems, not just sports-related injuries and stuff, and for the older girls/young women that would include a pelvic.

Now I have to watch it to see that walk.

His speech definitely made me cringe, but that part didn’t bother me, I thought Europeans generally used the French name. Also, just wanted to add one thing in his defense, I mean, he does speak at least 5 languages, including French, and can get by in 4 or 5 more languages. Heck, he probably had that conversation…

I understand, I read his blog where he is great about discussing his process, and I do appreciate how hard he works and how many books he has done. I’ve just been childishly pouting the last few years because he keeps putting books out on other series, when I want more Stormlight :). The Mistborn stuff and the short…

Seriously, how could they miss this? Really looking forward to it. But he’s already said the next one won’t be out until 2020 or later :(.

Well, that’s the first thing I’ve heard about it that makes me want to see it.
