Nope. DH and I don't care. DS isn't allowed to have to soda but I doubt he'd care.
After reading stories about people opening 24-packs to find a can with their name on it, I'm a bit surprised they brought them back.

It created a HUGE spike in sales. They would have been fools not to bring it back.

20 oz bottles had an increase of 19%. Double digit increases are almost unheard of. It was BIG. And you can go online and make your own bottle and have it shipped to you.

Sounds like the same marketing strategy for M&Ms when their sale fell flat. They do online ordering of personalized M&Ms. A big hit at showers and such.

My dog is completely deaf now. She doesn't even hear when we come in the house, and she was walking away from me in the house and I yelled her name to bring her back for a treat and she didn't even pause. Normally, when I would just breathe, she'd come running.

Had a dog that lost almost all her hearing.

Teach the girls to make sure the dog sees them before touching her.

I almost got bit by my dog. Poor thing. I startled her. It was my fault. She was just acting like a dog.

Aw, the poor baby. cry If you clap your hands sharply when her back is turned, can she perceive it? My Rattie years ago was deaf like that, but I could get his attention by clapping my hands hard.

Just tested it and she turned towards me! Yay! Because if she SEES me looking at her, she'll come running.

I'm sad to read your dog lost her hearing, LL, but happy that the hand clapping worked.

I'll try that with our oldest. She's 17 & I'm pretty sure she can barely see. I suspect she's deaf as well.

Whoever gave DS a hyper pill needs sporked. I swear this kid is on a mission to end up in the ER before nightfall. He's on a daredevil streak this evening. Thankfully, he's currently being entertained by removing and reinserting my straw in my iced tea.

Your son sounds like Caitlyn. Always needed to be doing something.

I had to give her busy things to do.

Play-doh, legos (the bigger ones), cooking even cleaning.

But the absolute best thing ever was outside.

A swing set and pool was the best things ever.

Yep. That's DS. Kid does not sit still. He has a crap-ton of toys to play with but would rather push the chairs and tray table around the apartment. He has a patio with toys to play on but would rather push his chair against the couch and "fall" over the back of his chair onto the couch.

Can't wait till it warms up a bit more so we can hit the pool. I'm content to stay in it all day and let him swim out his energy. He will be learning to swim this summer. He has a life vest that keeps him afloat so hopefully he will get the hang of kicking his legs. We also have pool noodles for him to hold onto.

Dear Idiot Woman at the allergists office, I don't know if you're just a totally stupid ignorant thoughtless clueless bitch or whether you feel really entitled. Furthermore, I don't really care. I don't care that Fido is your BFF. Please don't bring Fido in her Tutu INTO the allergists office. I realize doing this pushes your name up to the very front of the line because you have now caused a good many people to start going into aliphatic shock. Next time leave your dog at home. I hope next time they tell you that you will have to come back another day. Who does these kinds of things? You. You're a VSS.

Guess what I'm doing today? Guess?

I'm buying a pack n play, a swing, and a stroller. Barely used, excellent condition. Got all of it used for $60. AND, it matches the bassinet I already have. I'm so ready to babysit for my friends baby.
You are such a good friend. Other than my parents, I know of no one, including (and especially) the in-laws, who would buy all those things in preparation.
Although, now that I think of it, MIL was given a crib for when we visited. It's a good thing she didn't buy it I guess, because both boys screamed bloody murder any time we tried to put them in it.

Thank you. But I just think it's being nice!

I accidentally slammed my middle and ring finger in a cooler door at a store. I was installing a rack on the door to keep the candy bars in so they are cold (yummy in the summer). Most cooler doors are a soft close...they just slowly swing back. I let go and this one slammed shut. Ouch! One nail is already purple. And they are both throbbing.

They match my toe!

Lol I thought of that!! We have matching boo boos. I actually think I broke it - it's really swollen and purple. I know they won't do anything for it though so I went to the athletic trainer on staff and got a splint for it. I banged it against something and it hurt so badly I cried so I knew I needed the metal thingy with the sponge attached. It might not be called a splint - all it does is protect your boo boo.

I think I jammed my toe. After I slammed it into the dresser it was all shaped funny. DH asked me if I wanted him to pull on it. I held my breath and said go for it. I screamed a lot and then my toe was straight. But it sure is pretty colors. One of the problems of living in the house with a nurse mom and medic dad is that you don't go to the doctor until your innards are falling out. Most people don't understand that broken toes and fingers get nothing but splints and/or tape. You go to the ER and they charge you five thousand dollars to tape a fancy popsicle stick to your finger!

They didn't make her leave? I might find a new allergist.

They pushed her to the front of the line, gave her a shot, and shooed her out. I was pissed. Especially since my day had already not gone well. We have like two allergists here and I have the only english speaking one.

The last one was Muslim and would ask me to bring DH so he could ask DH "How is your wife? Is she breathing okay? Does she have..." I guess he hadn't figured out he had moved to AMERICA yet.
