smiles.. I know..chuckles ugh!!..
back to being careful with our furbabies!.. mine is a long haired pup! I've flirted with shavin her down to a puppy coat..
My engine company crew and I were on the apparatus floor one sizzling afternoon dusting down the pumper. A young fella blasted through the door yelling about a baby locked in a car in a parking lot across the street. Said he was walking by and spotted the baby in the back seat. Temps were in the upper 90s as I recall.
We hustled over there with a fire axe, smashed the front window, got the baby out. She was dead. Called the cops. They got all the info they needed off the registration and license plate. Through DMV, they got a photo. Police officers, casino security, and store managers were alerted to BOLO for the suspect, casino and store managers were instructed to page the woman.
A patrolman stopped by the firehouse later that day and told us that a casino security guard spotted her cranking away at a quarter dollar slot machine. Police hauled her ass to booking. Don't know how that turned out for the woman, but it couldn't have been good.

How about CBD oil, rather than the addictive intoxicant part of the plant? I have scoliosis and arthritis and the CBD oil is very helpful, and not addictive.

If she were mine, I would clip the body with a #4 blade and scissor the legs and face. I would also clip the ears with a #8 1/2 blade to allow the ears to dry out and keep down the tick and ear mite problem that long hair on the ears (particularly the underside) causes.

I have both.. one for day time and one with some thc for night time..unfortunately CBD doesn't help me sleep.. seems I've been rather an insomniac for years.. up n down all night..and wake up exhausted..like I ran a race in my sleep..*sighs* oh well it is what it is.. I h**e taking pills really, of any kind.. that includes things like sleep aids.. I use melatonin.. that will put me to sleep but not keep me asleep... too much goin on in my brain.. sometimes my brain even goes back over some of the things I read in here....if I'm in bed reading. usually out like a light 2 pages in.. but If I'm sittin up reading in here I can be up way past my bed time...as has happened a few times since I've joined here..
It's harder to quit cigs then hard drugs, so the VA class instructor said... A nervous habit I guess.
I quit cold turkey 2/20/18-
17 months ago and have no desire anymore...

And make sure the l*****t is accompanied by an islamist. Omar or Tlaib would be best.
Stop the smoking, I know it's hard I was a smoker for years. I've hard two strokes and smoking was the cause. Try smokeless if anything else.

I've been using a vape and stepping down the nicotine mg's...only 4 ingredients, flavoring, vegetable glycerin..herbal extract, nicotine. It doesn't have the other 700+ chemicals in it...seems to be working for cutting off cigs.. Sorry to hear about your strokes.. that's some scary stuff...But glad you quit.. you're right.. it's tough!
