I didn’t see all of it, bc we always have home-made ice cream at half time. Some watch the game upstairs, some down. The hard core go down, so I went down. The ones who gab all during the game stay upstairs. I like to at least see some of the game, then I pulled a blanket over me and had to fight dozing off. Half time perked me up, I played with the dog during the second half while watching. During the blackout we all teased the dog. Sandy was exhausted by the time we left and went right to sleep. Made me sad seeing a healthy dog play, Missy doesn’t play anymore...she struggles.
Got home from Texas last night. Slept in this morning, then a bunch of meetings.
People are not sure it actually existed, so the animalated discussion about Noah’s Archy-Bargy will always continue ....
On the other hand, we have been promised that the world will never again be destroyed by flood. (Close readers will note that fire - meteor blasts for example - are not yet excluded from His list.)
I dealt with disabled clients every day as a casemanager, and I have contempt for those who use people with disabilities to get sympathy and support for their (usually dishonest) causes-but I have even more contempt for leeches who fake or overstate problems to get taxpayer money.
One of the greatest things about that job was busting and turning in those cheats to workers comp providers and SSI-an employers’ experience rate can go into overdrive if some cheaters get ruled unemployable by dishonest means. Damned few individuals are truly unemployable.
Thank you-reprehensible is too nice a word...

What about stars who need to bring their “emotional support” animals on airplanes?
i would take Jules on and claim we were emotionally supporting each other, since he’d probably start woofing at every stray noise on there! LOL!
Oh, my GOD, don’t go there, no, no, no-service DOGS-not horses, snakes or anything else-are there to assist people with severe deficits in vision, mobility, etc. If you need emotional support, go to a therapist like everyone else does-animals are not therapists, no matter what the unicorns-and-rainbows crowd says...
I had a client with a partial hearing loss who tried every lie known to man to get a service dog-she wanted a cute little terrier to alert her by jumping around if there was danger. Since she could hear as well as anyone with her hearing aids, the request was quite rightly denied. But unfortunately, not before she had managed to fib her way into getting a dog on a trial basis from an organization that provided them.
When the service dog people came to pick up the dog, they found that this 260 pound woman had taught it to open the dryer and bring the clothes, a few articles at a time to her on the couch, and to fetch her snacks from the fridge...
