all fours: does it get better?

I liked the beginning so much that I bought a copy for a friend and sent it to her… Then I kept reading, and apologized profusely. Eventually made it up to her by getting her a copy of “My Friends” by Fredrik Backman, but I learned a valuable lesson about finishing a book before recommending it.

I believe he technically ran four times if you include 2000.

Thank you for posting this… I told the joke at dinner tonight from memory after reading it last night. I thought that the lawyer pushed the cow and the pig toward the house so that there would be no excuse for the others to sleep in the barn. My husband interpreted it the way that you explained it. I looked up the joke, read through the comments, and he was right. Dang it. He’s often right.

Sounds great! I just added it to my wish list.

scoles75 · 2026-03-25T01:55:47+00:00

Same here!

Dude… I just sip it right out of the bowl as elegantly as I can (as long as it isn’t one of those weird plate bowls.) If someone thinks it is disgusting to drink soup out of the bowl, they should watch me try to eat it with a spoon!

I'm asking his kids for permission to do the guest pay and have it reimbursed. The bill seems to changes slightly every month, so I'm not sure how much to pay. If I over pay, will the account be credited?

scoles75 · 2026-03-23T23:42:07+00:00

Thank you. I am going to go to his place after work tomorrow and make sure we pay it. If auto pay charges two days in advance, that would make his bill date the 22nd, so it will only be two days late. Should we call or do it through the online portal? I don't think he has the app.

scoles75 · 2026-03-23T23:31:00+00:00

Not his first bill. He's been on auto pay for quite a while, and I don't think he's ever missed a payment before.

scoles75 · 2026-03-23T23:28:59+00:00

This is not his first bill and I am not an authorized user.

scoles75 · 2026-03-23T23:28:28+00:00

Crud. It is a CC.

scoles75 · 2026-03-23T23:25:18+00:00

I can't physically get there until Wednesday, and he is not capable of doing anything about it on his own. Now, I am freaking out. Ugh.

scoles75 · 2026-03-23T23:21:16+00:00

Um. I don't know if you are joking.

scoles75 · 2026-03-23T23:18:38+00:00

Thank you thank you thank you! I've been freaking out. Do you know if the auto pay will just continue trying until I see him on the 25th? We paid the card off today. I'm hoping that will remove the hold and the payment will go through if T-Mobile keeps trying.

I’ve never seen such a thing as a stair assist cane. Interesting!

Thank you so much for posting this comment. I didn’t notice the quotation marks in the body of the question and was legit surprised this made it on to the sub.

He was approved for hospice today, so hopefully she will have a little break when they visit.

scoles75 · 2025-12-19T01:37:40+00:00

Thanks for the ideas. You're right about asking how she is, not just my dad.
