Great evening with the niece and grandniece, grilling, fresh sweet corn, watermelon and cantaloupe, got to play with the grandniece, Hi is her main word right now, little shy when I 1st got there because I don't see her quite as much as I should, but she warmed up and we had fun handing stuff back and forth to each other and dancing to the toy when you tap the button it plays a tune. :)

Little guy wasn't feeling well yesterday afternoon (cutting teeth) so we were just chilling in the rocking chair while my wife was finishing up at the office. All of a sudden someone is at my door, figured it was a package delivery or something - nope traveling cleaning supply saleslady. She "suckered" me in to ~$150 worth of concentrated formula - while the product does appear to work well, she could really upsell its usefulness (literally everything) and had a great pitch ("...your home has more Windows than Microsoft", removing stains from concrete, etc.).

The worst part I've realized, is that I'll spend 3x the money, in my time cleaning the house trying to "prove" to my wife I didn't make a poor buying decision. Be vigilant out there folks!

A full structure nowadays.........These students are getting soft. Back when I did commuter, we had a street post with a 1' by 2' sign as our protection. We herded up like cattle. Didn't even plow the lots at times, we had to push each other out of A4/5 at the time.
More like penguins with everyone taking a turn outside and then diving to the middle before you froze solid.

Take your non service dog into Walmart, come out and let it pee right on a post right outside the door as I am leaving behind you? C'mon lady, Don't look around like you are lost.

I really think there has to be a national certification for working animals. I get sick of people declaring Mopsy a service animal and then letting Mopsy **** on our carpet.

They'll also refer to it as an emotional support animal because they know it isn't a real service animal

I legitimate emotional support animal is a working animal in my book. There are many vets who have animals that help them with PTSD. But when Karen just doesn't want to leave Sugarplum at home, that isn't a legitimate working animal.

And it can have bad affects on the animal when they actually are left alone or at home.

I love dogs and pets and truly feel they're great for us but if you 'need' them at the store, you need to find something else to help with your issues.

Right. Take some edibles with you to the store to deal with your anxiety rather than Mopsy.
