That's a good-looking dog.

I have a dog who would lick the peanut butter off and spit the pill on the floor.
I go to church with a guy who was in AZ and got a call that he had to deal with a guy who was delivering gas to his place and was caught feeding the dog peanut butter in an inappropriate manner. So please let’s not mention dogs licking peanut butter. It makes me think of that whack dude.

Goofing on Ancestry to find something out.
Learned about yet another wife for my dad. That makes 4 so far, for a total of like 6 years.

Bud, I know you way less than others but that sounds tough. Rough way to find out also.

I knew of another already. That's no real surprise.
I was digging for an answer that nobody provides. My mom isn't a real fan, since they divorced/annulled/whatever, and his side makes him out as a misunderstood saint.
His side also only acknowledges two of the marriages, but a tree from the most thorough member on his side shows a couple kids from another marriage. Maybe.
Either way, dude didn't have the marriage thing figured out at all, but I knew that already.
I’ve always said, if you get 3 divorces, it probably isn’t just the people you’re marryings fault. Good chance it’s you.
No, thankfully. It was on the thread about higher rates of suicide among veterinarians.
Found a young male version of CG on YouTube!

And if the longest marriage is barely over 2 years........
Dude had a major drinking problem, so we likely got pretty lucky escaping when we did.
And I think he was with wife #3 for a while before they married. Maybe.
When they married, he was 33 or 34. She was 21.
That lasted a year, then they annulled and he married an 18 year old. Something there finished him off.
In our allergy discussions, with the gaslighting that goes on in our family, I wondered for a bit if I'd given him a raw deal with my general lack of respect for him. Nope. Gave him too much credit. That's never a good rabbit hole to go exploring.
A guy on the team sends an email out at 9:15 about a problem that he was called about last night. No ticket opened just an email to the team as some sort of "heads up"
Problems don't get fixed if you just send an email to the affected people and don't open a ticket to the people that should address the problem.
And people wonder why I sit at my desk inventing new ways to cuss.

The son got his driver's license on Tuesday. When I called the insurance company they said, "You're not going to like this much but at least we can hold off on changing the policy until it renews in September."
I just remembered when I last renewed my license I had to bring in some other forms of documentation. But I thought all of that was to confirm my home address. Nebraska no longer gives you the new license. They give you a paper one and send you the real license to your address to try to prevent fraud.
IDK about you, but I'm turning 63 next week, and retirement is looking better and better all the time. Guess I'm getting grumpy from almost 40 years of dealing with trying to make things perfect for customers.
However.....at present, it looks like 67 will be the earliest I can afford to pull the pin.
I was a single mom when my older son got his license. I had two cars - a Dodge Charger (not the muscle car version) and a Buick Skylark. Both were elderly. Putting him on my insurance immediately doubled my premiums. That one hurt!
The good news is that we don't have to list him as the primary driver. The bad news (besides the obvious teenage boy thing) is that you only get the good grade discount once and that the accident avoidance course that we paid for doesn't really lower the premiums. I thought that class was going to make insurance cheaper. I don't care about the safety benefits. Cripes. I have two other kids.
Daily dose of mom guilt provided by my clinic's receptionist. LM was showing signs of a respiratory illness the last few days with some minor breathing trouble (still eating, playing, etc., etc., just some minor retractions and heavy breathing when being really active). Of course with his history we're being cautious and call in to his clinic yesterday. No appts available so we can take him to Urgent Care. DH and I talk and decide to check in with daycare after he woke up. All was good, still eating, drinking. Ok, picked up early and still great.......had some other stuff going on and decided that we'd monitor through the evening and could still go to UC before 8pm if needed. Again, totally fine, just a bit tired as is normal with illness. Ate great. Decide that because if he this was a recurrence, they can really only do supportive therapy and can't prevent it from getting worse, we weren't doing any harm waiting and watching. This morning he seemed a bit worse - but still eating, moving - nowhere near how bad he was in April......but we call again to see if any appts. They do have one but the receptionist must have seen the note about UC and when I mentioned hey if anything opens sooner than that appt (which was in the afternoon), let me know. "Well that's why they told you to go to UC yesterday. Because if he needs treatment we can't do that here and we'll have to transfer to UC or ER and that will be an extra cost on your end." All said in a very snitty tone.
Ok then. First of all, you weren't who I talked to yesterday so you don't know how sick he is. Nor did you (or anyone else at that clinic) see how sick he was in April to compare. Second, if you're just going to transfer him out anyway, why did anyone even bother trying to give us an appt yesterday? Three, way to make me feel like the worst parent ever. Told DH and he's like well screw it then, let's just go to UC since that's apparently what they'll do anyway. So we went and got the same nurse and one of the Drs who saw him last time "hey you're the baby who made the whole clinic nervous last time!" and the Dr totally confirmed what we were doing. Said if he's going to get worse, can't really prevent it so keep watching, he's obviously active, doing ok, minor retractions but not concerned right now.
So I'll continue to trust my mom gut ...........but still totally second guessing if we should have gone yesterday even though I know it was the right call.
