This is a wonderful drawing. Black newf features are so hard to capture, and you truly get the personality. Well done, indeed!

We live near the West River, and there's a giant rat in and around our barn!

They just sent the same text from another number

I have an iPhone, send messages from unknown callers to a separate box. I text the single word stop, then delete and mark as spam. With an iPhone, you can select all of those messages at once.

But the texts keep coming and coming and coming. I’ve texted James Carville stop, stop and report as spam, and fuck off. Guess who I keep getting fundraising texts from!

None taken. You're right, it does! Sorry for all the verbiage! But my life was truly closed in: no music, couldn't go to lectures, couldn't hear anything from my family. Now I can talk to my grandkids.
OP's grandma is lucky to have a yelling family!

For later:
As a grandmother myself, help her look up hear.com. I couldn’t hear anything even with hearing aids. Online, easily, they gave me one of the best hearing tests I’ve had in years and hooked me up with hearing aids that have worked for over a year!
It’s opened up my life for me again

When I worked in medical education, we always advised women MDs to keep their own name. Because no matter how much they think they would be married till the end of time, things happen and the paperwork to change all that licensing is incredible.
You are who you are. And how have you never noticed before that your parents are totally nuts?

Nope - I married into one of those 10 (or more?) generation families. Think historical markers for the family. They shared a fence line with, but didn’t speak to their elderly neighbors for 15 straight years. Then the neighbors found a photo that showed their grandmothers were second cousins or something.

But by that point they were related to a lot of the state! Source: MiL on VT State Farm board, and always told me her relationship with her visits 🤣

You’ve met my ex-in-laws!

I’m someone’s mom and was harassing Bernie staff with every email and text to ask why he doesn’t endorse progressive candidates in Vermont and or if he even remembers where Vermont is!🤣🤣

This is a great question, and I don't have an answer. When we moved to Newfane 7 years ago we had Google Fi. It worked great in Antarctica, but only on wifi at home; the signal stopped at our doorstep. Now the family has androids plus an iPhone. We use Consumer Cellular that has great real people customer service, but still would like Google Fi for at least one of the Android phones.

So is Annie Clarke saying that the only problem was that the person Susan Collins did crooked things with was a crook? Lmao

Same here. First with my first.last name on gmail. I got a nasty person in Ireland banned from Tesco after I got replies to her racist rants!

Small claims, for sure. Hoping this guy's dog doesn't kill an older or smaller dog. And what breathtakingly horrible entitlement! He has an attack dog, and wants you to pay for his dog's attack?!

He promised to put non-hunters on the fish and wildlife board. Now they’re considering a proposal that would extend the season so these big brave hunters would be able to shoot hibernating bears.

My MiL took our cake topper (that I had put in the freezer) when we left for our honeymoon, because hey, free food! She has always been a terrible person.

Somehow, there’s always just enough votes to push through Republican agendas. It’s the useful villain concept.

I skin chicken thighs, to keep down the fat, and put them in the instant pot. About 19 minutes on high and the meat falls off the bone. We use that as a topper for their kibble.

Chicken thighs are either $1.49 or on sale for $.99 a pound. When a can of quality dog food is 12 ounces and costs around four dollars, I can buy a large pack of chicken for less than one can of dog food.

We do use caned food as backup!

Lake Michigan should be Lake Epstein.

Good to know that that idea didn't originate in F&W! Sorry for my poor choice of words, but if the Board had approved the petition, wouldn't it then be 'legal'? Maybe approved would have been a better word. I know I wrote and called every individual member of the board.
Good to know it was the biologist side of the F&W Board that helped block this.

Remember fish and wildlife made a proposal to make it legal to bait bears for hunting. They tell us not to put our birdfeeders, but it’s OK for hunters to put out piles of donuts in the woods! thankfully that proposal didn’t make it to law.
And the regulations to extend the bear hunting season! Can you call shooting a hibernating bear hunting? Fish and wildlife is so Jekyl and Hyde, both sides of their mouths.

Has OP ever looked in the toilet tank? Would he drink that? Why is it ok for the dog, let alone the cleaning chemicals? Plus, it's disgusting!

Well, it’s better than the Brattleboro food scene!

My primary care told me to get a vision check and gave me a list of practices to contact. Not a single one was accepting new patients.
