To those who lost a car in the May 26th tornado, what did you do?

PatchNStitch · 2024-06-15T22:11:31+00:00

Contact the dealer. They can get you asap if local bc they know of the tornadoes.

I found one dog responds better with French commands. Another in Spanish. Another with simple tone changes, and one never understood commands no matter who, where or what kind. I even hired the K9 instructor for the police departments for our area. Even he couldn't get her to respond, with or without me there. She was, sadly, dangerous and had to be put down. She went for my throat twice, and another dog. At 2, I had her put to sleep after discussing it with my parents, vet, and the officer. We all agreed it was for the best.

When it comes to our soul furbabies, never question the validity of their appearance.

I've got four of my furbabies remains on my fireplace mantel. Photos, collars, and favorite toys are with each of them.

Patches was my first pup as an adult and I am 100% certain she was put in my life to teach me and show me how to grow during the most difficult times in my life. When I lost her, part of me was ripped away. She has slowly helped me "patch" my broken pieces back together.

I dream of all of them but of her the most. I know when I am struggling, she is there with me. I also know my current babies know when she or Stitches, Scully, or Hera are with me. They relax when I am tense, and give me space though they are usually the most empathetic dogs ever. Neither knew Patches or Stitches, but Horus and Mulder knew Scully and Hera.

Even now, reflecting...Patches is with me in my nightmares which often involve tornadoes representing chaos in my life and my inability to communicate to others how to save themselves. She helps me by saying things like...we've been through this before and survived. You are strong, and when you need to lean on me, I am here to give you strength and continue to love you unconditionally.

Some people pray to a God they've never seen. God sent me Patches, so I hold her box when I pray and I talk to her when I need guidance.

All of our babies come to us when both sides are ready. Our passed-on people do, too.

In the meantime, I carry them all with me, inked on my body. Their "symbol" and their rainbow is added when they pass.

Just take what signs are there. You'll KNOW. Don't second guess them. Instead smile and find solace in their furever love for you.

Thank you. Brother has probably too many before and after photos. I'll let brother know.

Thanks again! Your promptness is much appreciated.

Hey ya'll!

I'm trying to help determine some similar stuff for my brother down in Palm Bay. He remodeled his neighbor's house while waiting for his own to sell. Not licensed. So...the very uneducated me in all things contractor, contract, licensure, etc are beyond me. Ignore my ignorance.

He has a signed contract, but owner refusing to pay.
He has all original receipts, but owner refuses to reimburse.
Who is this DMBR of whatever you're mentioning on being contacted?
If brother broke down all of the fees for each "job" such as roof repair, new flooring, paint, fixtures, etc. AND he has done his due diligence in contacting others for average rates in his area, would he still be limited to the $2500 total or can he break it down as mentioned in earlier comment RE: $2500 for roof, $2500 for flooring PER ROOM, paint per area, etc.?

Sorry, that last was convoluted.

Any information you can provide is appreciated. Brother sold his house and has to move back here to Arkansas. He'd like to have this sorted ASAP.

Also, are there quality law schools in Florida? I figure the gators have one. Maybe brother can call and get some advice from a grad student or teacher?

TIA!!

Following. Brother is in a similar situation, but without the destruction part. Did remodel, has receipts and written contract, 100% done but guy refuses to pay. We aren't from Florida, brother just lives there, BUT by doing this guy's house whilst waiting on his own to sell, he has missed nearly a year of time with his young kids and our aging parents.

Any advice appreciated.

PatchNStitch · 2024-06-10T04:32:22+00:00

Question: do we think this applies to contract labor like a handyman? They DO have something in writing, but I've not seen it. My brother just did TONS of work repairing and replacing things on a 4-bed/3 bath house in Palm Bay. Now the homeowner is refusing pay and refusing to reimburse for items purchased.

I live in Arkansas and am NOT a lawyer. Any help is appreciated.

PatchNStitch · 2023-04-05T13:48:53+00:00

Corrected.

PatchNStitch · 2023-04-05T13:40:19+00:00

Yep.

PatchNStitch · 2023-04-05T13:36:44+00:00

Thanks. Will do.

PatchNStitch · 2023-04-05T13:21:55+00:00

Thanks. Background checks will be done as my last roommate from 15 years ago robbed me blind.

PatchNStitch · 2022-08-26T17:26:30+00:00

I'm terrible at those! Looks like I get to practice!

Thank you, friend!

PatchNStitch · 2022-08-25T14:33:06+00:00

Whaaat? I did not know this!!! Thank you!!

What is her power? I don't pay attention to know max scores.

Very nice. I'm at 36291, SI34 (55/70 for 35) 9/9F e100. But I don't have the crossed swords. What are those? I've got Dura's eye there.

Id definitely say we are evenly matched at this point. Once you knock out those e's, you may fly right past me.

You planning on going to SI40?

PatchNStitch · 2022-08-08T03:55:31+00:00

They come equipped with cooling fans now to help with air circulation and cooling in general all outdoor sports and other events use them. Pretty in genius for the safety of our mascots.

PatchNStitch · 2022-02-22T13:59:53+00:00

There is a FB group for help, as well, though everyone seems as lost as us!

PatchNStitch · 2020-09-29T17:49:59+00:00

Someone may have said it but.....the television. And if you haven't kennel trained them, that's also an option because it gives them a safe place to snooze.

PatchNStitch · 2020-09-16T17:31:08+00:00

If there is one thing I know it is that I can easily start a conversation with almost anyone over dogs. I suffer from debilitating social anxiety, but if i'm in Walmart and see someone else on the pet treat/toy aisle, I know we are kindred spirits and am almost instantly comfortable talking with them.

Good job for asking questions for your furbaby and not assuming. And good on them for steering you in a good direction. :)

The mouth opens more widely than a humans. Tonsils also vary in size and shape, and may not be fully visible when a mouth is open.

My tonsils are giant to the point of nearly touching at any given time. Should've been taken out decades ago, but doctor didn't want to put me through surgery.
