    Is it okay to even have a pet as you age?

    Back in the day it was the big guy who sent the puny guy in to start the fight so he could clean up on the unsuspecting.  Age-old trick probably still operative.   So whatever way, you win you lose or you lose you lose.

    Is it okay to even have a pet as you age?

    The main reason for attack is fear.  And no dog has more reason for fear than a small dog. And no owner has more reason for fear than that its small dog is under attack, or that he may be held liable for it, so expect the owner to attack too.  And then say it's your fault.  After all, who ya...

    Yep, that's right, more potty talk...

    I use a foldable chair cut so that it looks like a toilet seat. Wrap a 13 gallon trash bag around the top, pour some kitty litter in the bottom before pooing, do my thing but pee is ONLY in a separate bottle, and then wipe and throw some more kitty litter on top to absorb the moisture to lessen...

    There Are Tons of Way to Make Money on the Road

    You kind of threw me for a loop there.  Nurses can make excellent money, especially with overtime.  But even without it.  Yet you talk about doing food delivery or restaurant work?  The best of those jobs don't make the least of your money, are uncertain at the very best, and are generally quite...

    Animal bounties

    Iguana in Florida can be very profitable. But it's not all that easy, from the vids and commentary I see. They tend to hang by the river and municipal waterworks(hence the bounty, with their poop and all) and run or fall into it when you shoot them. The next most popular and likely to be...

    Walmart and Target restrictions

    No.  I worked at a supermarket for much of this year and that's not how it worked. I've never seen or heard of anyone being kept out even though we had these restrictions for most of the year and my ex-workplace still does. They give you plenty of capacity for workers plus customers.   Problem...

    Bye Bye tin cans????

    I get chicken at Winco for 55 cents a pound. I get peas and beans, high protein sources, on sale at a dollar a pound or less, often much less. Corn even cheaper, though I'm not much into that. Quinoa at less than $3 a pound, another high protein source, but a pound goes a very long way. You...

    Is it okay to even have a pet as you age?

    Absolutely.  The temperament of a dog can directly reflect the temperament of its owner.  A friend of mine used to have a huge parrot that would only bite me when its owner came in and would panic that it might bite me.   Well ... yeah.

    Applying for social security disabilty while on the road

    We are both old, my friend.  Both of us need to admit it.  Maybe it is time to join the rest o' the world and update the glossary?  Surely you can't believe it could possibly be static in these rapidly changing times?  I've been adapting since the BBS days of the late 70's.  You? I'm fully in...

    Is it okay to even have a pet as you age?

    If chihuahuas are not the bity-est dogs, they are extremely high on the list.  Dogs bite mostly from fear, and hardly any dog has more to fear than a chihuahua. Not sure that is not the best choice for anything but a very special isolated house dog. Re AKC, there's a big range between Show and...

    Is it okay to even have a pet as you age?

    Easier said than done.  You have set quite a task for yourself. Luckily, being that you chose a dog instead of a cat, you will have every possible incentive to take care of yourself by taking care of the dog, what with walks and all.  And hopefully long ones. Not the half-fake shorty ones.   I...

    Applying for social security disabilty while on the road

    Get with the program bro. Like I said, this is at least 15 years old. Both of us are very well over multiples of that. Sorry yer old, but so am I. Catch up. Bruh. I did and I'm WAAAY behind. There is no such thing any longer as resting in place. Don't get angry at me; believe me, I'm the...

    Applying for social security disabilty while on the road

    Probably a 15 year old one.  Too long; didn't read. (TLDR).  Gotta update y-seff, HDR! In context, this means here's the very bare bones of the following so you don't have to read the rest if maybe you don't like the poster or have the patience for nuance or just already probably know what's...

    Rats in the walls

    That kinda thing is what I'm afraid of.  Those without rodents terrifically underestimate the damage they can do, and how fast, almost guaranteed they do.  You have to be there to know.  And to see your feelings change as you lose. Thanks for your feedback! Re mint, I dunno.  I grow tons of...

    I can dig it.  Life doesn't always make it easy. Sometimes you have to do what you have to do.

    Anyone use air projectiles?

    That's pretty cool!  They're edible if you dare(lotsa disease) and pests to an extreme degree in many places. Pellet guns are great fun and a very cheap hobby.  I've been shooting since I was small and still get a kick out of it.  Targets are fine for me and 99% of what I shoot and have ever...

    Berkey filter longevity

    I haven't taken cleaning it seriously, though I have been using it for a year and a half out of two years constantly for all my daily water. No slow down. But that's from tap water. It was never lightning fast, but never really a burden, so I can't tell the difference. Mine is the size that...
