Or aquaseal on the stairs eh
I wish you and the pups good healing.
Thanks man.
Is it a Frenchie? Sounds like IVDD. We just went through it with our Frenchie, which was super annoying and expensive.
if you are running on the side of the road with no shoulder -- in low light, on a particularly curvy stretch -- when there is a perfectly good sidewalk on the other side, go fuck yourself.
Toy poodle. 15yo. He's a little old for major surgery. Vet already said he isn't keen to give him anesthesia at his age and general level of health. I gave him a blanket for a pillow under his head last night when he was in my lap, that helped a lot. No way he's gonna be happy not sitting in my lap watching the Celtics anymore.Quote:

Thanks. This is all getting into territory uncomfortably close to the Just a Dog thread. That's annoying.
At least he doesn't have to watch the Pistons.
I drive through my neighborhood into work in the dark every morning, and there is a particular couple blocks that has some curvy roads, its narrow with parking on both sides and lacks streetlights so its VERY dark outside of my headlights. There is a tiny woman who jogs each morning through that stretch dressed in full black, with large overhear headphones, on the right side of the road (so she cannot see cars coming up behind her and the curve hides her behind the parked cars). Its unclear if she is depressed and hoping to get killed, poor and looking for a payout, or is just plain stupid.Quote:

SMH. Its amazing how risk averse she is when in the mountains skiing, mountain biking, scrambling, etc... but give her a city and road traffic and the lady is fearless playing fast and loose.
That would annoy me. And him.Quote:

wtf? that's something I am always nervous about but it also felt like unjustified nervousness, like who would be that ballsy?Quote:

That sounds like the normal kind of stupid to me.Quote:

I don't know the full story yet as to what her "excuse" was for taking the jacket.Quote:

Well, my son said she was clearly "not all there" when he walked by, so he kind of felt bad for her. Security has her on camera taking my wifes 3/4 puffy (or whatever those long chicks jackets are called) and leaving hers waist-cut non-puffy behind. Maybe she was cold. My family had zero interaction with her aside from my son seeing her. Security dealt with it.
How about: "I thought that stuff coming out was up for grabs. First come, first served!"Quote:

It's more about the content of the email imo.
Google thinks "best" is just fine...https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...97021dcf8f.jpg
Also nobody is looking at your wording because they too don’t fucking care and would rather just text you because email is antiqued.
Using “best” as a sign off predates political correctnessQuote:

When did it start?
What does it mean?
"Safe and inoffensive" Yeah. Could the same be said for "Bannana"
I suppose I'm actually annoyed that safe path in communicate seems to have swung to taking any bit of spice and flavor out of almost everything. I'm grateful that I don't really operate it this spaces so when I get one of these emails they stand out.
I use "cheers". Then I have a shot of liquor. I then expect anyone who reads the email to have a shot of something after they complete reading the email. If they do not, I feel slighted.Quote:

....OK Boomer.....:rolleyes2
Not sure if this annoys me or amuses me or both.
"It smells like Ogunquit at low tide!"
What do you suggest instead? To me "thanks" seems fine, but I don't know what the hell "best" means. In the real world I say just "thanks" every day, but I don't think I've ever just said "best."Quote:

It’s not new or that uncommon regardless whether you’ve seen it before.

I’ve used “Thanks,” for years
News to me that it’s gauche or overly informal
Are you being intentionally obtuse? While I don’t exchange emails that much and I “don’t operate in this space”, it’s not to difficult to get the gist if someone were to sign off that way.Quote:

Or when the contractor requested we provide a plan that was out of scope and the client more or less strongarmed us into providing it for free (there was drama), i found a way to name the plansheet FU-01, so that on all correspondence going forward everyone had to refer to it as the FU plan (the GC thought it was really funny and 100% played into saying it often). Or when a reviewer showed up to a meeting with an Oklahoma Sooner shirt (and i confirmed she was a sooner) i signed off every email from thereon "Horns Down".
But when youre firing out 50 emails a day you do fallback on autopilot a lot. Its better, IMO, than the folks who sign with some kind of inspirational saying like "be great today!"
Best Regards, Regards, Best.Quote:

As long as I have had email I have been signing all of my emails with:
Thank you,

Real men sign off with "toodles"

Be careful with this unless you have a relationship with them both. The best way I can explain this to you is that my wife can talk all the shit she wants on her fuck up sister, but I don't get to cross that line.Quote:

On a different topic, we've got some giant pieces of styrofoam at home that were packaging for a large TV. My wife called and asked if there is curbside pickup for styro in Seattle, and turns out there is. It's free, however the styro needs to be put into no more than two 30 gallon trash bags. WTF? The reason I want to get rid of the stuff is that it is gigantic and won't fit into trash bags. Also I don't have 30 gallon trash bags. The standard kitchen ones are 13 gallon. I also want to know what the odds are that it ends up in a landfill no matter how I dispose of it.
I love itQuote:
