angel_smiles The shouting boss sucks. Mine is annoyed at me because I had to take 4 days off over 2 weeks. I'm half expecting them to attempt to write me up, but it won't work. Those days I took off were due to recovering from being physically attacked (I'm fine now),...

Has anyone have a dog escape but then make their way back home after a few days? Our 17 year old blind dog has been missing for 24 hours after pushing a board loose from the fence. She was only gone for 15-20 minutes before we...

angel_smiles @MALUSE my dad was a functional alcoholic. He lived until 77 and, except for a bout with cancer which was totally cured with surgery, had no health problems until he was around 70. He was also a pack a day smoker and that’s what got him in the end.

angel_smiles Oh yeah, I totally agree never drinking is the healthiest life choice! I actually haven’t had any drinks in awhile as I had some blood pressure issues recently - I don’t want to risk throwing it back out of whack after I just got it stabilized with medicine.
