I suggested something similar to them on the advice of a friend who has worked at shelters as a dog behaviouralist to help dogs become more adoptable, and the owners sort of brushed the suggestion off - they’ve been told it’ll take two years at least for the dog to really begin to get comfortable, so I guess they’re…

I love, love, love Caitlin Jenner’s dress - holy shit she looks glamourous. Old time movie star glamourous!

What? Jesus Christ. “She doesn’t match the interior of my home.”??? Holy shit. Please tell me that you were allowed to throat punch those assholes. Those are terrible reasons to get rid of a pet.

Excuses and anthropomorphising their pets - pets are not people and don’t think the way people do. The dog isn’t “sorry” for biting the same way a person would be sorry. The dog isn’t thinking, “Oh, sorry...I just got a little startled. Tall people freak me out a bit. It won’t happen again now that I know these tall…

My upstairs neighbours are going through this - they got a rescue (some sort of poodle mix) and were told that he was house-trained and quiet and was friendly.

:D I like the way you think!

I’ll be the asshole guest at the back watching Hot Fuzz on my iPhone (with discreet headphones in, I’m not THAT much of an asshole) and trying not to giggle too much while everyone else politely stares at the replay of the wedding they just attended.

FINALLY!!! A day for ME!! No sports to confuse my poor little lady brain and Mr. Mimble will just *have * to watch a romcom with me! Netflix, you complete me.

That’s even better than the right card - and really, even if there were a card for that, what you’re doing instead would still be better. I’m glad you have such a great Dad and that you show him how much you appreciate him! :D

I could check off everything on that list, too. I was an absolute treat of a kid. ;-)

I think that’s cool if your Dad likes fart jokes - but it seems like most of the cards I see for Father’s Day are nothing but fart jokes, and I’d like a wider range of topics to choose from since my own dad would roll his eyes into next week - and bin the card - if I ever sent him a card with fart jokes in it.

Yeah, my parents are pretty cool people. I’d hang out with them even if we weren’t related.

They were trying to pretend they liked the card because they thought we’d really picked that out and given them lawn bowling coupons. Then they read the fine print on the coupon (which I’d written up saying that the club encouraged excessive alcohol consumption as it was the only way to make lawn bowling tolerable)…

For a moment, I thought I saw, “Dr. Oz” as the name on this coupon and thought, “Oh shit - that quack got a hold of a time machine...”

Ha ha!! My sister and I did that for my parent’s anniversary - a really long fold out card with a super mushy poem about love and commitment in a fussy cursive font with pics of sunsets and flowers and boats in silhouette against the sun etc... and I made them a fake lawn bowling coupon to tuck inside as a gift (the…

I will go check that out - the card shops I found had a fantastic selection of fart and golf jokes, but nothing else. Thanks for the tip! :D

Yep - I’m pretty sure you and Simon got it right. ;-)

I just wish someone would come up with come Father’s Day cards that aren’t about any of the following: farts, golf, fixing things, being a walking cash dispenser, and “Daddy’s Little Girl” nonsense aimed at grown women.

Lee Valley Tools is one of my favourite places to shop - I make wishlists for the gardens I haven’t got from their catalogues for fun (my Lee Valley garden is beautiful in my head!). I have to admit, I do like power washers - such fun to play with! - but I haven’t got access to one, so I just scrub it up by hand. It’s…

Esp. as the little girl two doors down leaves stale bread out for them (she LOVES the crows) and they bring the bread here to soften it up in the birdbath. We’re all doing something for our little friends! :D
