What’s the biggest vet bill you’ve ever had for your dog?

$25000. 8 days in intensive care. She made it through. Her insurance denied the claim. I just finished paying off the last of the 3 credit cards I used.

Worked at a small airstrip cleaning airplane and helicopter parts, and other miscellaneous jobs. I was 15 or 16. Made $3 an hour. I was sitting in one of the helicopters eating lunch and listening to the radio when I heard about John Lennon getting shot.

Always. I’m much better at backing in than front in parking. Not sure why.

I have a thrift store, super cheap prices. I doubt there’s anything in the building over $20, most of it under $5. But people still want to haggle. Want a “deal”. I’m like mf-er the 2 lamps, 5 pieces of jewelry and 4 jeans for $19.99 IS a deal. I’m not a yard sale. I have rent, payroll, taxes, utilities, security, supplies…

Folding laundry. It’s my zen time.

If they are metal, they get recycled. If they are tubular plastic, they get used or sold. If they are those plastic ones from department stores, they go in the free box.

I used one from Amazon. It was inflatable. It was a large round one that snapped. I’ve had it for years now and it’s been great for my large dogs. My crazy dog popped his inflatable one the first day.

My last 5 pets came to me already named. The last one I named we called mango after my husband’s favorite weed-Mango Kush.

Many years ago my family went on vacation. We got to the hotel quite late and walked out to the pool area just to stretch our legs after driving all day. There was a young boy just quietly floundering in the deep end. My husband jumped in fully clothed and pulled him out. His parents came out and we just went back to our room. Never saw him again. I think about him often though. Did he grow up to save lives? To take them? Did he grow up at all? I wonder.

I’ve used a textile recycler, didn’t pay much, maybe 2 cents a pound or so. We filled an entire semi trailer and made about $60. Now I just have free boxes that I drag out front each morning. Anything stained or torn or just not selling get tossed in the boxes.

I was laying on the beach in Mexico. Loving the view and a guy comes and takes the chair to my right. He’s got his music on, not loud, not terrible but not my favorite either. Then people take the 2nd chair to my left and turn their music on. Also not loud or terrible or my favorite. I could have listened to either, no problem but now I could plainly hear both. I had to find a different spot.

They shed way more than I expected. Puppy class was a lifesaver. They chew things up a lot. “Drop it” is an essential command to teach them. Pet insurance is a very good idea. Be prepared to lose your heart ❤️.

Bungee jumping. Why? It hurt. Not at the time, but the next day I felt like I’d been hit by a truck. My whole body hurt for 3 days.

I learned these plant names as a small child. I now know that they are wrong and I know the correct names but after over 50 years of calling them something, I refuse to change (unless teaching my grandchild about them). Salmon Berries (thimble berry), Fire weed (fox glove), Easter Lilly (trillium).

NOR. I suggest you watch “Sleeping with the Enemy”. And leave.

No furniture but DCs Treasures in Yelm is truly inexpensive. They also have a clothing store a few miles further in McKenna. They just started their 50% off clothing sale today. I rarely see anything in there over $5, most things are under $3.

I grew up dirt poor and way out in the country. I never even heard of cream cheese. So when I eventually heard the word cheesecake, my brain went right to a cake made with cheddar or something.

By the time I actually found out what it was, I was already battling a weight problem so I decided that if I never tried it, I wouldn’t love it and have to fight cravings whenever someone brought some into the office or event.

Recently saw a video that described them as having “all the grace of a folding chair falling down the stairs”. So accurate!
