    Just my luck. :(

    My stimulus check hit my bank sometime last night. This morning, we had to take a (stray) cat to the vet. $850 tab! 😩

    You could have saved $849.98 with a nice 22 pill.
    The older I get, the better I was. I also forget my password and have to have Len reset it for me

    It was suggested. Lynn nixed the idea. But sumpin’ tells me I’ll have a VERY nice dinner and maybe a bj for dessert tonight. (‘Course a nice restaurant and a hooker would’a been cheaper, but we’re under stay-at-home orders.)

    for some reason the words when hell freezes over and the devil has icicles in his beard comes to mind.

    Ironic that this subject comes up, I was just sitting here contemplating how to lure a couple of "strays" over in a vacant yard where accidents are known to happen

    We haven’t received ours but we got our state return just in time to pay for a coolant leak in our main AC unit.

    Lynn got hers a couple weeks ago. The day after it hit the bank, I had to have some tree work done. They quoted me $1500 and I told them I had $1200 They took it. In one day, out the next. Now, mine hit the bank this morning and according to the vet, the cat is going into surgery at 11:30. The $$$ is flowing out as fast as it comes in. At least we’re supporting the local economy.

    Ahhh....

    Think I'll leave this one alone in case my better half ever discovers my online haunts. She's a sucker for stray animals as well.

    Well, I really should elaborate .... actually she WAS a stray, but we took her in 4 years ago. She quickly became part of the family and is a total sweetheart. It would take something more devastating to "put her down".

    On the way home from the vet, we passed a turtle trying to cross the busy (4-lane) road. Lynn whipped a u-turn, went back, hit the hazards, I jumped out, grabbed the turtle just before it stepped off the median, then carried it down to the lake (direction he was headed) and released it. Sheeesh, I saved TWO lives today! Just call me Super Hero. Heck, I may end up with a bj AND a boink tonight!

    If you turn a dog loose to hunt – you’d better to be ready to deal with what he trees.
