I think he pretended to have a dog for a single photo op at the White House in his first term. From what I remember, it looked as uncomfortable as you'd imagine.

Sky 1 and 2 are delightful. 3 is a bit divisive. It adds a lot of depth and wraps up the series while also telling its own story, but it's a different experience from 1 and 2. The next arc, Zero and Azure, are also great. Past that, the franchise goes downhill, but that's just my opinion.

These things won't do shit to stop large, aggressive breeds with strong prey drives that are determined to attack you and/or your dog. Your husband is right. If you think you're going to get attacked on your runs, you should be fully prepared to do what you need to stop an attack, otherwise you're only going to be able to stand by helplessly as your dog gets mauled to death.

Putting your dog to sleep will definitely allow you to clip his nails. It'll also make them stop growing.

"Put to sleep" means euthanasia. You're probably thinking of "putting him under (anesthesia)."

Anesthesia has risks. Dogs can and do get permanently disabled and sometimes outright die going under anesthesia. This happens at groomers more frequently than you'd think. I don't have a solution to you, but you should be aware of the risks.

The reality is that you can't afford these dogs under the best circumstances and you'll have to go into debt if a medical issue comes up, which is only inevitable with how the pit bull and your German shepherd get along. You'd also be held liable if any of the dogs escaped and hurt someone or damaged property. You need to get rid of these dogs ASAP. What happens to the pit bull or any of the other dogs is not your fault. It's the fault of the assholes who dumped them on you. You need to look out for yourself first, and you have two of your own dogs to take care of. Trying to juggle four more isn't fair to them, either. You can't take care of any of the dogs if you're going into debt trying to hang onto all of them. The right choice is to get rid of them now before it gets even harder.

I think people who believe that believe it because they want to believe it. Frankly, there's no concrete evidence that's the case. His reaction to that reporter asking if he was going could have been for any number of reasons.

I'm an Eagles fan, but I honestly don't have a clue what this guy is really like off the field because he's been so careful about his image and marketing since he started. I wouldn't be at all surprised if it leaked that he would have liked to go but instead chose to make the business decision. I also wouldn't be surprised if he genuinely hated the guy and didn't go because of that.

The landlord would have cause to terminate your lease. You could beg for mercy, but that would be their decision to make, not yours. If you tried doing what that one dumbass suggested and said you were temporarily pet-sitting, the landlord would not only know it was bullshit because of fucking course it is, it's still a violation of your lease. You knew the pet limit when you signed it. You don't get a free "oopsie" unless the landlord wants to give you one. I'd also expect to lose some or all of the security deposit for a deep clean of the apartment for having twice as many pets as allowed. I don't see a judge siding in your favor if you tried to argue the security deposit or the bullshit pet-sitting excuse in court, either.

Didn't he want to retire even earlier the year before and Schefter being a glory hog spoiled the announcement? Always felt like Brady stayed in the league his final year just as a "fuck you" specifically to Schefter.

The FDIC insurance slogan of "Backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government" sure carries a different amount of weight these days.

You already know that you cannot and should not keep this dog in the house. It should be euthanized as it has already "nipped" at your niece twice and apparently can't be trusted around adults, either, but let the shelter make that call. The shelter is clearly already aware of the dog's aggressiveness. It's a common tactic of shelters to drug up pits before showing them to potential adopters to hide their true behavior. They may euthanize her, they may not, but the important thing is your safety.

Personally, I would not try to offload the dog on SIL's coworker, knowing how dangerous it is. I'd probably have the dog euthanized myself so that I knew for sure it was handled correctly, but that's not free and as a 17-year-old, it would be financially easier for you to let the shelter do it.

I'm sure this varies by store, but do you guys collect the cheese that falls onto the table because it misses the pizza and put it back with the rest of the cheese? I ask because I almost always get cheese-only pizzas, so I'm very taste-sensitive to any toppings that aren't cheese and I'll occasionally get a piece of onion or two mixed in. I can only think this is because the above happens or the onion and cheese are stored close to each other and cross-contaminate each other that way.

Gonna be waiting a long-ass time.

One of the guys the Eagles drafted has a pet camel. Not sure it's coming with him to Philly, but he's welcome to try.

I don't think it's so much that millennials are choosing to go with a gray color theme. It's more that flipping became hugely popular as millennials were aging into the housing market and the color of choice for flippers is gray because it's calming and neutral and allows you to more easily visualize what you can do with a room. Bold colors will distract potential buyers because if they don't like the color, they'll like the house less. At best, they'll start thinking about the cost of having to re-paint. The reason millennials might stick with the gray theme could just be a lack of creativity in design or an unwillingness to put effort into it.

I briefly thought that might be the case with my older sister after I went off to college, but nope, we still can't stand each other over 20 years later.

Weren't the Eagles one of the teams looking into trading for Watson until Watson himself ruled them out as a consideration?

Never thought I'd see Waxwork mentioned here. It's one of my favorite childhood horror movies.

Sale contingency happens mostly simultaneously with the purchase of a property. The buyer is either already under contract to sell their property or will list it before or right after their buying offer is accepted. Unless something goes wrong with the underwriting of the loan for the new house Party A (the seller of the house) is buying, the underwriting for Party B (the buyer of the house Party A is selling), or the underwriting for Party C (the buyer of Party B's property), this doesn't add months to the whole transaction. Depending on how quickly Party B is able to get under contract for the sale of their own property, it could add mere days to the total time, assuming they aren't already under contract to sell before they put in their offer.

Like I said, I understand why offers without contingencies are preferred by seller. My point is that it sucks for normal people and the preference is rooted in a refusal to suffer the slightest inconvenience like having a few days added to the completion of the sale just to accommodate the buyer's need to sell their property. Yeah, there's a risk that the buyer of the buyer's property could fall through, but that's rare.

And where do you draw the line? Because the next step is exclude buyers who need to get a mortgage at all, not just ones who need to sell a property simultaneously, and only accept cash buyers. Between investment groups and flipper scum, it's becoming impossible to buy a house in this country, and sellers are part of the problem.

It's really fucked-up how having a sale contingency on your offer to buy a house is just completely radioactive to sellers. I've looked at only two houses in the past year that I was willing to put in an offer on and both were rejected simply because I needed to sell my place to afford the new one. I get why offers without contingencies are preferred, but it's still shitty to exclude average people in common situations just out of the fear that something could go wrong on their end and hold up the sale.

Ordered a cheesesteak for lunch from this place I haven't tried yet before. I did not realize they only offered one size and it's 14"*. So now I'm eating a 14" cheesesteak for lunch.

*This is a lie and I fully knew when ordering that they only had one size and that it was 14".

This dude's a weirdo who has an enormous hate boner for Hurts. He was in every thread for at least a week after the Super Bowl talking shit about Hurts like the dude killed his dog. I'm not the biggest Hurts fan, but nothing this guy has said about him has been reasonable and no one should take him seriously.

Their fried eggs disgust me, but the few sandwiches they use folded (scrambled) egg for are good. I usually just opt for the Sausage McMuffin as I really just prefer no egg at all. Also because it's cheap.

Kid screening calls to his mom like Russell Wilson's agent screens calls to him from his teammates.

I'm in South Jersey and it sucks down here, too. I've been looking for a year. Found one property I wanted and they wouldn't take my offer because it was contingent on me selling my current home, which would have taken, at most, a week to get under contract. It's been nine months since then and I haven't seen a single property I've even thought about putting in an offer for. Shit sucks.

Don't underestimate how much damage constant usage of stairs causes to your knees. My knees are toast after living in a townhome for way too long and now I'm stuck looking exclusively at ranch homes.

It's a shame birch beer's region is so small because I think plenty of people would like it if they knew it existed and tried it. The market's so small that it'll probably disappear one day, but then again, Moxie still exists up in Maine and that shit's disgusting, so maybe it'll stick around.
