I'm convalescing recovering from surgery (had masses removed from my abdomen) and the best part of my morning was my next dose of oxy haha. Ooof it hurts but I'm glad I finally got it done. Three weeks of recovery here we go!

I don't like sand. It's coarse, and rough, and irritating, and it gets everywhere....

They just wanted to float.

My cousin rescues abandoned hunting dogs in Missouri. It's super common. We got one of ours from her. Was clearly beaten, cigarette burns on her body, gun-shy.

This is a common thing in NYC haha. I found doing tricks on walks help wear out my energetic dog. I have him "change" from side to side, weave between my legs, walk backwards, hop-touch my hands, chase treats a bit ahead. Maybe that could help?

I, too, am not a runner.

FARTS FROM BIDEN

Public shaming.

Edit: d'oh

Children learning a whole new word!

There are no officials prosecuting this asswipe for "speaking" his mond. His freedom of speech is perfectly intact.

That amendment does NOT protect him from ridicule, public shaming and ostracization by his fellows, though. Be a dick, be treated like a dick.

Rings bell SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!

WHERE??!? I've been missing OUT.

Seconding Clarks for ladies. They're my go-to for shoes and boots.

Flooring it is what got this car in the lake, so yeah.

Oh right! I forgot about that huge nuclear meltdown right on the outskirts of the city.

Victoria's secret's sizing is a joke. Their 34 D was too small for my (measured) 32 C chest (back when I tried them when I was a teenager).

"the breed has a tendency towards violence"

What makes you think pit bulls have a stronger tendency towards violence than, say, a jack Russel terrier?

It's a hot button debate and a lot of people only feel strongly one way or the other and don't want to concede any ground. Guess both sides dislike my stance.

Pit bulls are strong, so when they do attack they cause enough damage to make the news. They are no less or more likely to do so than any other breed. They just happen to be extremely efficient at our when they do attack.

Summary- all dogs need to be trained and leashed in any situation when they could be startled or triggered in some way.

One of my favorite Christmases was spent on an island in Belize.

We've gone to colonial Williamsburg during the holiday season a few times and it's actually very lovely. The decorations, carolers, and hot beverages are all very comforting and quaint. "Dickensian" is an accurate description.

My mother just came down with something nasty. Not COVID, according to the at home tests, but it hit her hard and fast.

Hope you feel better soon, friend.

Lol At Home is the Walmart of Home Goods. Last year I got my brother a "hers" pillow I couldn't find a "his" match of. Told him he could offer it to ladies when he had them over.

Hope you feel better soon! Lots of nasties going around right now.

Just got back from being with the fam. We had a medical emergency right before Thanksgiving and ended up doing a buffet instead of cooking, which was stress-free but also no leftovers. I'm sad about the no leftovers today.

Anyways, going to work. Gunna be a big sale at work today so I'm expecting chaos. Boss always offers to buy us lunch on Saturdays though, so I don't need to worry about packing whatever I can dig out of the fridge/freezer.

Could some of it be more indoor activities due to the cold?
