i read the second part of your comment as “people who own $1 canada goose coins”

WAIT.

hah!

i do that too! i always think of it more fondly than the experience merits.

i was worried nobody was going to get here.

that’s an interesting last comparison. it would have been an interesting thing for them to get into in the article.

he’s a good looking boy. yeah, my treeing walker coonhound is very similar to chester. he’s tricolor, about 50 pounds, but the biggest difference is probably the ears: my guy has the really long ears that flop to the sides.

wow, an additional 18 months on just palliative care is wonderful.

oh no, i’m so sorry. our dog got a biopsy right before christmas, and so the holiday slowed down the lab. it was a rough time, waiting for the diagnosis. my husband was absolutely devastated, too. both of us have lost our fathers, mine after almost a decade of illness and significant caregiving, so we thought we would…

thanks for that! my mom has two jack russells, and they absolutely are little assholes. one of them has figured out that if she goes under a king sized bed, my mom can’t reach her.

yeah, i hope so, but i’m not very optimistic.

no. i thought the same thing.

that’s overstating it a bit. i know several purebred dogs (poodles, jack russell terriers, labs) who have had long, incredibly healthy and happy lives. true, they’re all breeds that were bred for performance and sport, and from breeders who bred for performance and sport, not showing.

i’ve also seen a moderate inheritance from my grandfather allow my aunt and uncle to afford better therapists and treatment for their autistic son. they also were able to afford the first family vacation they ever had. they drove to a national park and camped for a week.

no, everyone should be allowed to leave some money to people after they die. i think a 0% estate tax on estates up to a million is reasonable. then after that, it gets very steep.

it’d be lovely if more places provided an easy means for people to discard things in that manner. my mom lives in a suburban city in the midwest, and they provide three huge receptacles, and one small one. the three big ones are for a green one for trash, blue for recycling (and the bin says on it what is recyclable,…

hm, i hadn’t considered that (just wanting to be done) as the why.

my husband and i did another rewatch not too long ago, and it is SHOCKING how much worse season 7 is. i mean, i enjoyed the crap out of it, of course, but it is clunky and weird. it’s both too slow in some places, and oddly fast in others. the editing is strange and confused.

whoa.

a while back, my husband was out of town and i didn’t feel like cooking just for myself and i didn’t feel like ordering anything in.
