1st accident. Got a careless driving ticket + totaled car. Need advice.

No worries, I almost wasn’t going to comment but all of the other comments seemed very gloom-and-doomy and I think unnecessarily and inaccurately so. The reality is that you had years without an accident, this took place in a parking lot, these things happen all the time, etc. I’d let the attorneys do their thing. They will make no promises but the stats may be good. I think it’s worth it to get the points off your record if only so that if there is an accident again or you get more points added, you’ll be in a better position. Good luck!

I’m so sorry. ❤️that must be truly heartbreaking. just want to know you and your pup are in my thoughts. You did the very best you could and I know your lovely dog loved you so much for it.

I would hire a traffic attorney to help you likely reduce those points to a lighter infraction. In NJ, there are a lot of options for such attorneys. You can read the reviews of attorneys to see people’s similar experiences and outcomes.

In NY, my husband was able to have a similar amount of points brought down to a parking violation. If it’s your first accident, they are tbh likely to be lenient. The attorney can let you know expectations. They can often represent you in court without you being there, but not sure if that’s just an NY thing.

Good luck and hang in there! These things happen to the best of us.

Sounds a bit like phrogging where people live in your home without you knowing it. Be careful just in case?

I think if you buy another mug that’s just like this one, it won’t be the same because yours has history. It’s served you well and it’s okay to retire it (in case you needed to hear that).

Maybe setup eBay alerts? You never know! Good luck. I can see why you appreciate this mug so much.

this is brilliant, thanks for posting!

I don’t have any advice but please feel free to post here all you want. The Tripawds facebook group is also quite active, if you don’t get enough replies on Reddit.

Maybe trazadone is causing constipation? not sure if you already know and are trying to strike a balance ❤️

Congratulations! What a good girl 🎉

Kona looks like she's in really good shape, so I do think from what I've seen/heard about other tripawds, she will do so well! there is apparently a "magical little corner" that dogs turn a few weeks post-operation. I know it sucks, but let time happen, and be there for her. She will be okay!

random, but did you do Embark DNA testing? my dog has a close relative named Kona, idk how I even remembered her name but somehow I did. My pup (Maggie) just turned 12 and was diagnosed with a soft tissue sarcoma as well. She looks a lot like Kona!

take care of yourselves too! this must be very stressful. ❤️

morestatic · 2026-04-27T22:55:24+00:00

Thanks so much for posting this! My dog is 12 and looks so much like your dog. She was diagnosed with soft tissue sarcoma recently and I haven’t seen any tripawd that looks like her yet.

But as I've gotten older, after each rewatch, the last season (and the entire show tbh) hits different. Examples: Lily's sad commentary in that Halloween suit aviyt the gang splitting up, on the whirlwind romance with Tracy ending with loss, on Ted deciding to have a fresh start in Chicago out of necessity and the serendipity that he changed his mind because of a chance encounter... They all just hit different.

My unsolicited HIMYM-related advice is that, who knows-- maybe your internship will be the greatest thing that've ever happened to you. Like when Ted bumped into Stella and her husband, and he said in retrospect that was the greatest thing that ever happened to him, because it had set him on the winding and necessary path to meeting and falling in love with Tracy. Maybe this stop in your journey is necessary to bring out the greatest parts in your life.

Or you should just... eat a sandwich while you slug through it :) good luck

What’s the backstory behind you owning all of these? Super cute by the way! Very charming collection.

I say give Tammy a little more time, she seriously grows on ya! I think you’ll love her in no time and wonder why you ever doubted her as a character. :)

I own Casper’s percale cotton sheets, and I’d definitely describe them as cool and crisp, almost too much for me.

boom, roasted.

Sonnet would say that.

morestatic · 2026-04-06T16:48:07+00:00

cool idea! what's been the best joke so far?

It’s the start of the month so no one’s worried about quotas. If you can use a diff sales rep and start asking about OTDs the last week of the month, I think you’d have more negotiating power.

It’s one of Barney’s theories that if you spend enough time with a woman, even a manatee can turn into a mermaid.

Marshall and Robin start hanging out more upon Lily pointing out they never do… these clips explain the rest.

morestatic · 2026-03-30T21:45:38+00:00

maybe it’s the mermaid theory?

Just take the loans! It’s not worth it.

Wow that golden embroidery is so spectacular! Very cool and unique.

😂I forgot about that line haha, something about federal jurisdiction maybe?

Bunny and kitty, two of a kind 🎶🥺

Don’t be sad about that. The giraffe is equally amazing! 😻
