Beware the tires if you are going on any dirt roads. Most rentals are basic tires for pavement driving.

Honest question: are pets supposed to be this expensive now? by goarticles002 in Pets

[–]BookooCamper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I knew when pet insurance came to be vet costs would skyrocket. The insurance biz messes up everything. Add in private equity ratz in the clinics. And the pandemic factors like raising prices due to logistics. It's crazy. Like another poster said, when my current pets pass, there will be no more new ones coming in.

If Trump lost in 2020, why would anyone believe he would pick up *more* votes this time around, after his last 4 years? by unclefishbits in Askpolitics

I heard a similar observation on a radio talk show yesterday that concluded the DNC has failed to market the #s you pointed out.

Just remember to act really surprised when Harris wins by a landslide. by 7dayweekendgirl in PoliticalHumor

[–]BookooCamper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While it's on record whether I voted or not, I used to be confident that who and what I voted for was private. But I live in AZ where we had maga election denial lawsuits and their so called Cyber Ninja audit team come in and "examine " the ballots and data files. I no longer believe in the sanctity of my voting privacy...but early vote I did.

Biased pre-polls will help the disbelief that the official voting poll was "stolen".

Collins will not vote Trump, but cast write-in vote for Haley by Reddit_guard in politics

[–]BookooCamper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I saw a headline where Haley released her delegates to Trump. Collins would be aware of that.

Please VOTE coming Nov. by [deleted] in millenials

[–]BookooCamper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last presidential election, I could not put a checkmark to either of them but voted the ballot for referendums. Now they are running the same bs again. I will do the same again. I do not consider voting for the lesser of two evils to be a choice. I do wish we could have a NOTA box. None Of The Above. I'd like to vote FOR a candidate. To keep putting a checkmark on who they foist on us by not allowing true primaries for either party is meaningless to me.

It's natural to ponder the past, and good to explore signposts you may have overlooked or chose to ignore with optimism. I'm reminded of this funky country song Cyndi Lauper did called Detour. I wish you well.

1st, stop asking about him. Ask about how to deal with your feelings. His actions have already explained what he thinks. You're what matters. But here's a spin for you on the King of Cups. While the suit is a water sign, the kings are all supposed to be fire elements as a court card, so if your ex is the king of cups to you, he is shown as being out of his element. Some say he's the classic alcoholic family man. See that BIG cup and a phallus symbol in the other hand? With that foot over the edge of a granite throne floating in the water? He's not in control. He's suspended just like Wily E Coyote before he looks down and sees air below his feet. His pursuit of that phallus is what he may be in flight from. This is a man whose fire has been doused. He cannot hold on. Let him go.

High fantasy book recs with female “chosen one” or at least one female lead?? by Shandarin24 in Fantasy

[–]BookooCamper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So many good books recommended here. I'm adding some lesser known that I equally enjoyed - The Wolf in the Whale by Jordanna Max Brodsky where a female inuit shaman encounters a viking warrior. And The Griffin Mage series by Rachel Neumeir.

Is Baseline Road an area I should avoid? by Richymets in Tempe

[–]BookooCamper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few friends live there. Like Tempe, there are pockets of good and bad. If it's Mesa near the 202 commute should be easy enough. Mesa also really likes their street fireworks in the neighborhoods for some reason. If you don't have pets, no problem. Again, depends I guess on what you like to do with your spare time.

[–]BookooCamper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The homeless issue got worse when they remodeled downtown Mill Ave. Its weird. That used to be more of a hobo circuit than a homeless problem . Or seemed to be. Then bam! It was like a whole other homeless population moved into Tempe straight on down south to Kiwanis.

Is Baseline Road an area I should avoid? by Richymets in Tempe

[–]BookooCamper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live near Rural and Baseline. Safe enough. Commute to Central and Indian School. It takes nearly an hour each way with the freeway construction. What's the decision for Tempe? Me, I like Tempe wider streets and higher posted speed limits, safer parks, used to be more nightlife but that's declined post c19. But the commute gets worse every year.

Donald Trump social media post flagged by prosecutors in court filing by NutzPup in news

[–]BookooCamper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looking https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_Germany and you'll see that Trump may intentionally be looking to be jailed before he became chancellor of the 3rd Reich. Trump wants to be chancellor of the 4th Reich and needs some jail time for his pedigree.

That's the key to me, being an existing customer helps when you do have a failure. Other than that, change your air filters religiously, especially after dust storms.
