  2. OMG.... if the records are in good shape... that's a LOT of money you have there. That's awesome...
  3. I knew WoBG had just said no to the people at the vet about the dog. I just had to see the dog. And that was all it took. I figured she may be upset... but soon after Barkley was home with us... she knew it was a good thing to do. Maybe a stray dog could just happen to wander into your yard... (in a few weeks... timing is everything)
  4. You paid it forward. A dog will find you. Dogs seem to find us too. After one of our dogs pass... it's like a miracle, in a few months or less a rescue dog finds there way into our home. For while we had one dog. Sam (Great Dane / German Shepard mix) needed to have both rear knees repaired. I was still working... WoBG drove Sam to the vet and I met them there. We made the arrangements to have the first knee fixed. One thing was, Sam needed to take it easy for 6 weeks to allow the knee to heal. The operation was in 1 week. (both knees got fixed) Right before we left one of the assistants there knew we took in rescue dogs. She tells us about a dog they have had for a few months, and nobody wanted him. WoBG tells the assistant; 'No we can't take the dog after Sam's operation he will need to rest, and a new dog in the home, that won't happen.' They left and I stayed to pay the bill. I asked... Can I see the dog? They bring the dog (a Rottweiler mix) out. He sits down, and his head just droops down a LOT. OMG that was a sad dog. I picked up his head and told him... Looks like you are coming home with me. I just cound not leave the dog there. I got him home. WoBG was out in the yard with Sam, and Barkley lets out a big growl and barked at WoBG. He was a scared and timid dog for a few weeks. We named him Barkley, because except for that first bark at WoBG, he never made a noise. Sam (on the left and 126 pounds) and Barkley (82 pounds) got along just fine. Barkley was a great dog.
  5. We have had 2 dogs living with us for decades. It would be sooooo different without them here. You did a wonderful thing being the foster human for Waffle.
  6. And that's why I love my North Face jackets / liners. They have a lifetime warranty. I have 4 outer jacket shells (they can be worn as jackets with or without the liners) and 2 fleece liners and one insulted down liner for the jackets. The liners are also individual jackets too. The oldest shell must be at least 20 years old. The North Face as replaced the main zipper and the liners zipper (how the 2 jackets zip into each other) on the old coat at least 3 times for free. OK... I had to pay for the shipping to their repair center. Several years after I purchsed the first shell jacket and a liner, I purchsed a new shell and another liner. I got them home, and the old liner would not zip into the new jacket (and vise versa). I contacted The North Face and sent them the 2 older jackets. They changed all of the zippers on the old jackets to be compatible with the new jackets for free. (except for shipping)
  7. @Square Wheels I hope you took the day off and are resting. No work that pays you either. Take a few days off... I got 10 sick days per year when I worked. I seldom took any sick days. You can use a few that I never used. Feeling better??
  8. And that how it should be, especially considering what state you live in. Our daughter lives near Madison... we still have several kinds of cheese made locally in WI. We go on a beer and cheese run to WI at least once a year. There you have it... I did learn something going to college in WI.
  9. Our garbage is collected on Monday. Then again a Monday holiday for collection would affect the entire week. I was almost certain they would be here early this morning. I did check their web site to be 100% sure. They woke me up at 5:30 AM, collecting our garbage.

    Rain

    It has been raining here all day. It's 22 degrees above normal. I suppose that makes up for the 2 or 3 weeks in December where we were 20 degrees below normal?
  11. I get every day that ends in a y off from work.
  12. Not hearing the noise.. my first guess was something in the rear that has worn out. Then again it could be the taars. What’s that Strange Whining Noise That's Not Your Mother-in-Law?
  13. There is the easy way to find out. Uninstall the software and find out. My guess... it will be gone from your computer as a device and won't be recognized as a scanner by your computer.
