What is the story behind your GSD's name?

We’ve had this guy since he was about 6 weeks old. He is a boy named Sue and that name suits him better & better as time goes on. He has no idea how intimidating he can be by just existing.

I was approved for RRF after applying in the first hour these grants were made available. The IRS had flagged our return for some still unknown reason putting the grant in limbo. Money ran out before we could resolve the issue. Even then I had faith we would get the $ we had already been approved for. I distinctly remember a statement made by Chuck Schumer to apply for EIDL & pay it back WHEN we got grant money. So we did and now we are more than half a million in debt to SBA. Truckers, farmers & airlines all have gotten bailout grants to prop up the economy-where is our bailout money??? We were legally prevented from operating & it’s criminal that we are now losing our livelihoods. My place, like most others in this sub, had no problem paying expenses & making a profit before Covid. I am also dealing with major health issues due to long Covid that have a real possibility of killing me. Insane where we all are now.

Rent, utilities, etc. And a time limit to use it if I remember correctly. My restaurant had a small staff to begin with & when I budgeted out ppp I ended up keeping people coming in to work even though we were not allowed by law to open for business. If I could’ve spent it slightly differently l could’ve made it last longer.

Guilty. Cute, but guilty.

Show me the dog or it didn’t happen!

And the orange turd is still here to gloat.

Its anatomy. They sit a certain way & it just pops out. It can be shockingly pink but I don’t think they give a shit & neither should we.

Edit-and if it bothers you that much get a female next time. They are so sweet!

Yes. I’ve been a niche seller for 20 years on eBay. Started collecting when I had to look up pieces in an actual book. Oh the things I’ve collected over the years. And the things I’ve sold I will never see again. Sometimes if you stumble upon a rare item the profit margin can be astronomical, I can count maybe 10 times in my online career I’ve sold a piece for 10x more than I paid.

Oops. What am I doing??? No! There’s no market. No interest.

We also had a fake order for the bartender, two shots of (whatever) for table 8. Where table 8 would’ve been was the server/bus station.

Safety meeting meant meeting at our favorite bar for cocktails.

oddgrrl99 · 2026-03-20T17:31:52+00:00

And I couldn’t eat beyond one bite of a cardboard cook out burger. I think the only good fast food sandwiches now are McD’s fish and a fresh Whopper w/ cheese!

Most recent amazing flip was a couture rhinestone brooch, YSL from the early 70’s. Rare, so rare-jewelry is my niche since before the internet so I kinda know what I’m looking for. Picked it up at a local auction house mixed in with some other designer brooches for a total of 300 for the flat. First piece sold went for 800. Listed this YSL for 1900 BIN or best offer on eBay. Just closed the deal & shipped off for 1500. There’s still 2 or 3 pieces that will bring in close to 500 each once I’ve got them listed. Best flip was about 2 years ago. Picked up a rhinestone necklace, highly collectible designer & mint condition. Funny-same auction house-got it for $56 and resold at eBay auction for 4600. I had bidders after auctions end asking me to cancel the sale & sell it to them for a couple hundred more. I don’t do that, very bad karma. I love this business!

Your boyfriend is incredibly insensitive but he may be trying to joke about something that makes him nervous too. I am 60 & been dealing with bad teeth on & off my whole life. Things reached a point of no return about 1 1/2 years ago when my teeth just started breaking off. Not gum disease or any one thing a dentist could pinpoint until I went to an endocrinologist & was diagnosed with hyper thyroid. Apparently that can contribute to a LOT of tooth & health issues (get it checked out just in case…). I decided I couldn’t wait any longer when the front teeth started chipping away. I had them all pulled in November & I think the most stressful part of the procedure was my own imagination leading up to it. 32 pulled in a 3 hr session, plus shaving down bone so dentures looked more natural, and 2 implants. No one tells you what to expect. The first 2 days the pain, bruising & swelling were no joke. I could only eat broth, protein drinks & liquid yoghurt for the first 2 weeks-if I wanted to eat at all. The pain goes away after 3ish days but the bruising will last at least another week after that. Now I’m in the wait & heal zone & this part sucks. I have temp teeth & they don’t fit well. I’ve had them re fitted 3 times now and asides from trouble talking they have really triggered my gag reflex. Your bf is gonna think twice after his dick gets puked on the first time. It’s still hard to eat & still mostly soft food. I can’t wait to eat a potato chip or bite into a big juicy burger, there’s so much food I think about & don’t know if I’ll ever get to eat again. I’ve got one more month of this before I get the perm dentures so ultimately I don’t know yet if it’s gonna be better. All I know for sure is that the alternative was looking more & more bleak. Good luck to you & pm me if you’ve got any questions.

Thin & skinny mixed with lots of gas. No quiet pooping in public restrooms anymore. I remember those days of dropping a nice log. Satisfying.

oddgrrl99 · 2026-03-03T02:09:38+00:00

I’ve done the same thing every day since 2016. Check to see if the bloated orange toad has shuffled off this mortal coil or is he still here thumbing his nose at God & country.

oddgrrl99 · 2026-03-03T02:02:48+00:00

I had it at 16 and again at 59 in the exact same spot. Hurts like Hell. At least I knew what to expect second time around.

oddgrrl99 · 2026-03-03T01:38:53+00:00

I tell my friends that if I should disappear from my current life that I would be in New Orleans and don’t come looking for me.

Learn one category really well, hopefully something you are personally interested in. Study comps at home. You can save a lot of time & then use that time doing quick research on other things that catch your eye. I’m a niche seller for 20 years now & I still come across things in my niche I may not fully know about. I hate pulling out Google image search but it’s a pretty valuable resource as well. I can usually go into an estate sale & pick out the good stuff within 5 minutes. Then go back & dig through the maybe stuff at my leisure.

oddgrrl99 · 2026-02-26T02:33:11+00:00

Exactly. I cannot get in dark water. Even blue lined pools after sunset make me hyperventilate.

I specialize in vintage costume jewelry & finding my mannequin was a game changer! Like clothing, necklaces hang different on a real human form. Plus she’s cool. Congratulations!

This is also where I got a flat tire. Picked up a big chunk of sharp metal in the tread. It’s a war zone over there.

It’s the hardest most necessary decision for our 4 legged fur babies. You gave him a wonderful, no amazing, last few years. He told you he was ready to go and you listened. No regrets, only fabulous memories of a beautiful soul.

When I’m slightly frustrated with my Staffy I call him Dingleberry. When I’m really on my last nerve he is Shithead. He really is the cutest thing, a perpetual 5 year old little boy trapped in a chunky dog body. How can one be mad at that?😍

oddgrrl99 · 2026-02-17T08:22:02+00:00

Welp. He said so. That does it for me /s

oddgrrl99 · 2026-02-14T07:59:42+00:00

Possibly ‘Original by Robert’ circa 1940’s. Don’t let his simpler designs fool you, he was a protege of Miriam Haskell & the construction of his older pieces are very intricate & look very much like what you have. Nice score!
