It’s not a romance - more like all different relationships. It’s about dealing with the cards you have been dealt.
With which you have been dealt. Sheesh, I’m tired from the run and dogwalk and yardwork. Time to clean up and rehydrate!
How are your dogs doing? Is the newly-liberated one still on a mission of discovery?
ok then... i’ll have me a marterini or three....
If you spell the WFTD with a capital first letter then rotate that counterclockwise about 45°, and rotate the second last letter (in lowercase) 180°, and lastly replace the final letter with an ‘m’, you would come up with a synonym…
Nothing really significant, just some random weekend musings :-)
It seemed fine to me as “cards you have been dealt.”
Reminds me of “Little Miss Sunshine,” another good movie about a family just trying to hold it all together. Very dark humor, especially the ending at the beauty pageant.
He is the happiest little thing, running around and playing. Big dog gets his morning weekday walks since he is supposed to be on minimal activity. He lost 2.6 pounds at the last weight check, 4 more to go and then we can treat him for heartworms. I’m still cranky about the company not covering his care since we’ve had him on preventive since adoption.
That’s because you are an engineer and appreciate brevity.
It sucks that they won’t pay-humans get damages for using products they knew perfectly well were dangerous-pets don’t have that option.
I’m glad your little dog is doing so well-I was just outside with Husky girl, and that bold raccoon was at the bird feeder again-it decided to quickly climb the nearest tree when the dog came rushing over-Husky girl thought that was great fun.
Oh, what a take-down-I’ll have watch the evening news to see if they replay it.
Unless there is no progress to report, in which case the more words used the better.
If it’s a CB can’t you just say “10-4 good buddy”?
Perfect. LMAO A+++
A+++ Holder is going down, he just can’t see it yet.
They sell them at a little shop downtown here. I am getting them for my lake gifts to my SIL for having us up for the day. I always find something to take. They have beer looking ones and wine ones, too. I laugh every time I see them.
Smart guy. A+++
Hopefully, that good deed will bring you in some good luck of your own. Very cool.
