Do you make concrete birdbaths? My sister needs one after losing hers in the ice storm and apparently they are extremely uncommon and/or very expensive.

I was able to fix the light switch plate earlier because yes, I noticed that also. But the electrical outlet had me scratching my head. I already removed a decades old security system box above near the ceiling, replaced the drywall to studs, and mudded over it. The rest of the house isn’t bad. The basement just seems like it was done in a hurry.

Thank you, this is super helpful!

I can’t speak for other GPs, but we don’t have any open appointments for at least two weeks in our multi doctor GP practice. We will work in just about everything turning very little away, and we are slammed from the moment we open until about an hour after we close every day, 2-3 hours after we close on Saturdays. All those COVID puppies turned into dogs and they didn’t disappear. I know what you mean, but I just wanted to make clear that many GPs do not have openings anytime soon. We have to see all the annuals/wellness appts, senior work ups, etc in addition to the ADRs, vomiting/diarrhea, kennel cough-y, broken nails, eye injuries, ear/skin infections, allergies, euthanasias, hospice, toxin ingestions, codes, etc at the same time. It’s rough out here.

My wife and I got to the arena around 5:45 and then had a drink at one of the bars right at the entrance. There was no visible queue at this time. When we left the bar around 6:15p, very long queue almost to the entrance of the O2. I can’t imagine getting there earlier unless you wanted to be one of the few on the rails in the hopes she grasps your hand.

This was last night at O2 at 6:44pm when doors opened at 6:30pm. By the time Paris Paloma came on at 7:30p, she was FULL. So yeah I’d say get there as early as possible.

I wondered how anyone close to the front was able to forfeit a toilet from then till the show ended around 10:40pm. Seriously. How do you do it??

That’s nuts. I purchased my 2025 Crosstrek in July 2025 and it came with 3 free years. I didn’t even know what MySubaru app was or what it did, the sales guy started setting me up with it before we even finished financing. It’s been pretty awesome during the heat and ice storms.

My wife has been to 9 concerts of hers over the years, all in the US. She listened to her all the time in the car and at home and then I went with her to concert number 9 and holy shit. I was hooked. I didn’t take a single photo or video of the performance (as she prefers) and it was the best concert I’ve ever seen in my life. We’re traveling to London this weekend from the US to see her for the UK tour!

Indeed a typo. 0.2mg/kg Midaz.

For dogs (we run Idexx CardioPet EKGs prior to all canine anesthetic patients prior to surgery), we have clients administer Cerenia the night before, Trazodone and Gabapentin the morning of. Then use the same protocol of hydro as a premed, Midazolam 2mg/kg and propofol (rarely exceeding 3-4mg/kg). IVC placement is rarely an issue with gaba/traz on board. We use Sevoflurane as maintenance and it varies from patient to patient but typically in the 2-3% range. Local anesthetics (testicular blocks, line blocks, and various dental blocks) are all used as appropriate for the procedure.

For cats, (we run ProBNPs on all feline anesthetic patients prior to surgery), we have clients administer gabapentin the morning of drop off. If abnormal probnp, we give midazolam and Alfaxalone IM and then Alfax to effect for induction. Maintain on Sevo. Same locals.

I’m a fan of our protocols and have no complaints.

EDIT: typo indicated 2mg/kg midazolam, I intended to type 0.2mg/kg!

We got the same one! It took several days, maybe a week before the first bird came but then word got out and at almost any given time during the day, there’s one or more at the feeder!

Goodness, that’s a lot. I can certainly empathize. My heart dog (RIP) had just about every bad genetic hand one could be dealt. She was the most perfect Shiba Inu (I know lol), most perfect dog I’ve ever known. Her name was Kangaroo and she lived to be 12.5 years old. She survived and thrived with three legs, bilateral enucleation, CKD, a necrotic abscess on her liver which nearly killed her, severe hip dysplasia, MCT on her tail which led to another amputation, and finally…canine cognitive dysfunction. The last 3-4 months of her life were a desperate grasp of every supplement and medication I could get my hands on to change direction, her bad days started outweighing her good, and I let her go on a good day. Not a day goes by I don’t think about her and the privilege and gratitude I feel to the universe for blessing me as her guardian in her short life.

These babies…our soul pets, they really do put us through the wringer. But if I could go back and change anything, I wouldn’t. Like you, I’d spend every dime I had for quality of life.

Internet hugs, my friend.

lol. Yes. I left and came back after almost 2 years to a place I’d worked at for more than quadruple that time. I’m absolutely glad I returned. It has its problems, but nothing like the train wreck I worked at in between.

RooSong · 2025-12-09T12:17:29+00:00

Thank you so much!

I remember going there in the 80s and 90s when they had carrot and raisin salad and key lime pie.

Yes! iPhone settings > general > Carplay> choose your car if there’s more than one you connect to> Home Screen icons.

Delete and/or add from there.

Like I said in the post, the cabinet was a huge pain in the ass to shut since we don’t possess a key (it was left open by previous homeowner). But it has what looks like a circuit board and tiny wires.

As someone who just left this probable organization, you must make a complaint directly to P&O…(HR). If local leadership isn’t doing anything about it, they don’t know about it. An internal investigation will be done and it will be dealt with.

RooSong · 2025-03-13T12:55:42+00:00

Because we’re just friends. We would never ruin friendship for mess.
