@Lewkat Cleft repair is a double edged sword. The surgeries are difficult, recovery times long, and not all vets will do them. And even if the surgery is performed the cleft will sometimes resist the closure surgery and part of it will reopen. The cleft makes it impossible for the pup to nurse...

@seadoug we do fall in love, frequently. 😉 It’s hard not to. And to be a good foster, it’s necessary to connect with the animals in your care to help them overcome whatever challenges they’ve faced before they got to you. I keep notes of whatever issues I’ve observed, the things we’ve...

I’m going to foster, possibly adopt, this medical needs yorkie,18 days old right now, born with a cleft palate and being tube fed by Paige, my daughter, till he can tolerate solids. If you know me from the forum, you know I foster, but this is the first time a yorkie has crossed my path...

When we eat out it’s always some kind of ethnic food.. Regular American style meat’n’two places have food that is boring to me.

I don’t wear daily makeup for work, though I’ve always used an abundance of moisturizer….both face and body. My work is often physical and so the way I dress (workout clothes) and no makeup is for comfort and ease. I don’t wear makeup to the grocery or for running errands either. But when Ron...

@hollydolly I woke up this morning intending to post your exact question! Great minds…..❤️ I use chatGPT a lot! I fully recognize that it’s ARTIFICIAL intelligence and it’s only as good as the information it searches. Regardless, it’s so handy at giving me a whole bunch of info in one window...

Ron has nightly fights with the ambient temp vs his own body’s thermostat. It’s gotten to the point where I spend more nights in the guestroom than I do sleeping in the same bed as him! I love the man, but I’m a light sleeper and just can’t stay asleep through his many attempts to adjust...

The trees are just beginning to turn here in Nashville Tennessee. We had brutal temps through the middle of last month….head indexes over 100! But the sudden dip in temps later in August that are still holding has been a welcome relief, but Tennesseans are suspicious too 🤣 It’s never this cool...

Wow! Thats amazing! 🤩 I wish I had your brain!!

You must have way less stuff in your pantry and refrigerator than I do! There’s no way I could remember, other than a vague idea that “seems like it’s been awhile since I bought this.” 🤔 But then again I cook every day, sometimes twice a day, so I have many staples on hand.

Smoking’s bee replaced by vaping. Folks brag that they quit, but are still puffing on a vape every 5 minutes 🤦‍♀️

…..for expired items? I will do so periodically, and put the soon-to-expire items in the front so I can use them before I have to throw them away. When I organize a client’s pantry, it’s shocking how many items have expired, sometimes years before!!! Nothing I personally have is years...

I use seasoned panko breadcrumbs for very occasional use.

I always ask.

I smoked when I was young, stopped when I started having kids. Started up again when the youngest was around 8, when things with the ex got so bad I was passively suicidal. Quit again when I left him and haven’t had one since. I was paranoid about the smell!! Didn’t smoke in the house or my...
