I just interrupted a serious conversation to pass this picture around.

Hey, for the pills, if they are the pills my sister took, you’re going to want a really good foot lotion. My sister got hand and foot syndrome from the pills, and a soothing minty foot lotion, along with camper lace up supportive flat shoes really helped.

$450 is such cheap rent, in my NY years I’d have gladly lived in that crawl space, bought fun food at Fairway and gone out dancing and buying cocktails.

He lost about half of his teeth, and the rescue had to cut away all of his fur in one gigantic stinky mat. It took him ages to learn to do normal dog things like barking…
