    This was pretty good. I mean, I don't have anything to compare it to. Last dog I lost like this, I was about 10, and she had a stroke, so she hobbled into the house on her elbows, couldn't stand up straight. Parents took her into the vet, I didn't go with. The other dog died after I moved...

    Easier than I thought it would be. She went super fast. Finally didn't have a reason to be strong and hide her pain. My only regret is the wind blows towards my house in the pond, so I couldn't give her a viking funeral.

    Zelda until the end. I took her down to the pond, past the fence. She never gets to go there. Out of bounds for her. Immediately, she almost falls in getting a manky ball outta the pond, retreats back to the yard to enjoy her treasure. At least I don't have to worry about whatever is on it...

    So My Wife Died...

    That's 100% how I feel. My GF feels like I'm the best person ever for her. No one has ever treated her better. But I feel like i'm just halfassing it all the time.

    Health Problems

    My ex wife is on all kinds of fucking pills. Pill A for this, but then side effects, so pill B. And because of all that, pill C to correct this imbalance, and on down the chain. She was 35 and on a handful of pills every day, and honestly, not particularly overweight, not compared to the ham...

    So My Wife Died...

    I know my situation is a bit different, it's scattered around this board and not contained to a thread, but I was married for 18 years, got divorced 5 years ago. We were literally together half of our lives. I lost 2 friends this year (one of them a friend for 25 years) and tomorrow is my...

    AssHat 2023 Voting round 2!!

    Araysar vs. Dicktrickle - no one can shit up a thread like Araysar. Putting him on ignore means entire pages of the pol thread have no posts. Makes entire segments of the board unreadable. Lightning Lord Rule vs. frenzied wombat - I don't really have a problem with either, so I guess the best...

    I dunno if I'm just trying to justify it to myself, or whether I'm just past the emotional part and can see things clearly. Was talking with the ex today (dog was a birthday gift to her) and I realized she has had her tail tucked for awhile now. I don't remember the last time she wagged it...

    Ancient Civilizations

    Honestly, losing a bunch of knowledge as a civilization isn't even that hard to accomplish. Lets imagine a point 200 years in the future. Everything is on the internet. There's no reason to have books, manuscripts, etc. You can already see this now. Where are your books? For us, we might...

    fohbros, sorry for the double, but god fucking damn. Just got back from the grocery store. That's one of the hardest things i've ever done. For reference (and for Tenks, whereever that cocksucker is these days), I have fed my dog all raw meat and bones for 13 years. Every week for the last...

    nah, she gets super carsick. She fucking hates being in the car. I mean, she gets excited to, and then we start moving, and it's about the most stressful thing possible for her. Car is literally covered in fur when we get back from the vet. This way, we'll get to be here, where she's...

    Think I'm at the end of the road here. Last Sunday I cleaned up a lake of puke, Friday a lake of shit, and today a lake of piss. That's about the trifecta. Turns out MN has a vet who will come to your place and do it and haul the body away. Seems way better than one last stressful ride for the...

    You're kind of an idiot. For a few reasons One of them is that I never said you can't make your claims. Mostly because I ignore your drivel in this thread.

    Actually, that brings up an interesting point....what if we only think we are as high tech as we are because of our perceived abundance of materials? What if prior to this last reset, the distribution of elements on the earths crust was essentially evenly distributed, and whatever you needed to...

    Ancient Civilizations

    Seems pretty simple to me. We've probably been here before. Everyone assumes that everything in the past must be lower tech because we would find evidence of higher tech if it existed. Okay, but let's look at the modern world. What's your house made out of? Mine is made out of wood. How long...

    Thanks. I don't have any interest in playing the game. I was just told (in here) to park it in an index fund and leave it and that's my plan. I don't know enough to do anything else...I just also need to make sure I know enough to buy the right fund!

    Okay guys. Some of you may remember me from a month or 2 ago when I cashed out my pension. Well, we're here now. The cash is cleared and in a TD Ameritrade rollover IRA. Sum total of $64,174. Now...what do I do with it? I looked into SPY, QQQ, ITOT. Looks like SPY return is 12%, QQQ...

    Great option for a cage with the pulley. Im commenting on it to put it on my radar for later. Right now I'm just using bands, but I'd love to be able to do real pulldowns/pushdowns. Just gotta find room for a full cage. I got a squat/bench rack that works well for me now, mostly because I'm...

    Nah, actually, I owe them a huge debt of gratitude. You see, I do something very important that needs to be done, and the union didn't have a clear way to deal with that. My manager tried to get the union to update the contract to include my job, to keep my job union, but the union refused to...

The good news is that they are mostly the people I don't want to talk to anyway, so it works out fine for me. They are also the same people...
