I think cheese in a drink would be strange.

OK...pooch delivered to doggie resort, old folks lawn cut and cupboards full of supplies. I'm 98% packed. I need to shower and shave and I'll be ready to leave the house @04:30.
Oh crap, I need to collect the trash..

I'll be taking y'all along btw but I won't have an internet connection until Sunday

How much is your doggie resort?
Somehow ours keeps raising the price. But there is something to be said for a drop off and pickup in a place less than 2 miles away. The other places with play time and stuff are 20 to 50 miles from here.

Ours is $70 to $95 a night for any room we would want for rusty.
Plus pickup is early so you always have to pay for an extra night.

I haven't asked and Mrs. Ice hasn't told me. I really pretty sure I don't want to know. I told her leave me there and take the dog, it looks pretty nice.

dontwantaname wrote:Yeah, you most likely don't want to know.

This is why we haven't really been on vacation since we got the dog.

Think I heard buddy tell someone it was $40 a day plus any extras. You supply food and in our case meds but I was probably just dreaming

Balderdash! You didn't go anywhere except to relatives before you got the dog.

qwertyuiop006 has a entry, why not post the link so people can vote????

I voted. It was cute.

Never know unless you ask. Local landscapers get less to cut the grass than the neighbor kid. Economies of scale, you know.
We do PetNanny, same prices as No1 quoted, dog is much much happier with it.

Why don't you post designs as No1?
You get a ton of hits at shirtwhat and it would boost your vote count.

Hi all!

Niece went to work with me. last day of spring break, she was bored and there was a vague idea of going shopping after.

we went shopping at various resale stores - including some higher end ones looking for prom dresses.

ended up at a mall - went to Macys and niece found a dress she loved. go figure.

home at 8 - ate dinner and now I'm tired!

At least she found one she loved. The worst is over.

Whereupon someone (klozit?) said: He never left
Then N01 said: "That was J3"
Then she posted that she felt dumb for mixing up her "Js" and would erase history after some ice cream. (which you saw in N01's quote block)
Then she did (erase history and have ice cream), and for a moment everything ceased to exist, but then reformed as the probability wave collapsed upon pooflady's query about the lubricating properties of Olive oil vs. Canola oil, which got changed in a quantum fluctuation to something about smoke and salad.
or something like that.

Oh THAT's why I briefly turned into a desk!

These are the fun things I learn in my spare time. Maybe everyone here knew all these things but I'm always excited to learn stuff like this, so I had a nice evening.

The cotton/Vaseline doesn't surprise me, but the Fritos does. I might have to try that sometime. Why does learning new ways to start fires excite you though, hmmm?
