Yep, same same, nothing more annoying than sneezus interruptus.

God I can’t believe it’s been over a year and half since I left. Seems like yesterday.

We’re not in that cold weather but we have small skinny dogs with basically next to no hair. We use various layers including Hurtta dog jackets that I finally/just found the last couple months after looking for years. Hurtta jackets are made in Finland geared towards their cold weather. Their Extreme Overall jacket had a hood/snood that I combine with a double layered fleece snood that you can adjust by folding back to make them shorter and then adjust longer as they get used to it. We now walk in the rain with their snood extended fully so their nose is just poking out and they’re ok with that. Their ears were nice and toasty at the end of the walk with the snood fully covering their ears this evening.

I buy snoods from K9 Voyager, Cappi’s Jammies, or Spoiled Bratz Wear. All have been reputable vendors.

I also have purchased heavy duty snaps and and a snap fastener, Hapden snap fastener tool (had good reviews so I purchased and have been happy with). That lets me attach extra pieces like snoods or other gear to customize for the weather.

Or all the countless women and Harvey Weinstein before the 2017 NY Times piece.

K, well the scene with drunk Bert wobbling on the edge of the coffee table makes that the best episode for me!

I have fallen and landed with my full 200 pounds on the phone held in my hand grinding across 2 feet of asphalt. The scratch on the case is barely visible.

I walk the dogs on the beach at night, dropped the phone in the surf and watched the lit screen at night in the dark washed up the beach 20 feet away from me under the wave. I’m still typing on this indestructible beast.

You will pry my xcover pro 6 with swappable battery out of my cold dead hands.

Yep, our Iggy ran all the way out to the back yard prancing around tail up, barking at the intruder back inside the house. The other two are sitting in bed with me with a ‘wtf was that!’ expression.

Birds aren’t real

Husband: I want one of those! /s

Wife: who needs a rooster when you can hear that all night long??

I’ll just leave this reference on copper nanotubes right here.

Yeah. I think there are two schools out there, us anxious types that have to have the room pitch black without light source anywhere or we feel like a laser is drilling into our brain, and then normal people.

Or the alternate spelling in our house so we don’t send the dog through the window: werl sounds like whirl

Can you explain your user name?

For anyone interested, just Google “stereoscopic dissecting microscope used”. The ‘used’ part is to makes it less expensive. They can cost a lot. I used to use my lab sonicator water bath to clean my jewelry, and our dissecting scope to check the jewelry to make sure all the skin crud is gone from every crevice.

I got got by a YouTube ad.

I’m worried it’s the end of an era. They have really high quality product, all of it!

You’re already aging yourself with the Simpsons reference!

Doot doot. Doot dootly DOOT DOOT!

Obligatory ‘came for The Expanse’. And Peaky Blinders is in a comment just about this one and agreed… And Community cuz I like the song and the series.
