Do better Tuesday July 28, 2020

TrudyML · Guru

Just more work here.

FNW · Guru

CCW permit application bounced. Need to go in person. That's not what the website says, nor the clerk when I called and asked. Ugh. OH well. I'll go in this week. If it hasn't been burned down by then.

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

Just because you can't conceal carry does not mean you can't open carry.

FNW · Guru

True. I really wasn't interested in the CCW, except I took the class and my instructor is encouraging me to get it since the laws will be changing in January. Once I get it, I will buy a little one that I can carry. Can't really lug Gladys around. Well, I could, but it's not convenient. LOL

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

Doesnt hurt to get CCW. I mean everyone should apply.

TrudyML · Guru

GG has those tiny guns. So cool! Deringer, I think?

I know what to do_sometimes · Frozen Sucks!

Very cool.

Hot again. I'm supposed to go to the cottage in a week. But its going to be a working vacation. Sigh. My work schedule was derailed.

TrudyML · Guru

So hot. Blah. So I got the AC blasting at me. Ugh.

I know what to do_sometimes · Frozen Sucks!

In an office ac's are virus spreaders.

TrudyML · Guru

I sit alone. Doors closed. May go find an Oreo. Over it.

I know what to do_sometimes · Frozen Sucks!

Mmmmm oreos

TrudyML · Guru

Ate one. Debating another.

FNW · Guru

Supposedly, our office A/C was tested and it's a single pass system so no spreading of covid. Not that I'm going back any time soon.

Our A/C at home has one of those ultra violet things that sterilizes the air as it passes through before it hits the ducts.

I'll have to check out the deringers. There aren't a lot to choose from these days in the stores, but hopefully I can find one on-line and have it shipped to the store.

You need to debate that?

TrudyML · Guru

I have mini snickers and peanut M&M's....

Forever Sunshine · Guru

I vote more oreos!

Fort Worth Mom · Mod/Penguin lover/Princess!

Good morning, Good Geeks!

We had a sprinkle in the night. It's humid, but not as hot today. Only going to have a high of 89.

I hope we get more rain. Fingers crossed.

I need to make a run to Home Depot. Spock tore up the weather stripping on the patio door. And I need to get more poison for the fruit flies. Grrrrr...I hate those little buggers. cry

Have you tried the chocolate covered Oreos, Trudy? They look good, but I haven't tried them yet.

I think Jupiter has a stomach bug. She doesn't seem to be feeling very chipper. Plus, she has the trots. I think I'll make her some chicken and rice. See if that helps.

Not much else is going on around here.

I hope everyone has a good day. smile

TrudyML · Guru

For fruit flies? Pour Apple Cider vinegar in a glass. Cover with saran wrap. Poke holes with a toothpick. They all fly in!

TrudyML · Guru

Must seek out those Oreos!

Really? I'll give that a try! Thanks for the tip. smile

TrudyML · Guru

It really works! I was amazed.

Fort Worth Mom · Mod/Penguin lover/Princess!

How many bottles of vinegar are in my panty?

Four. Malt, white wine, rice, and regular old white. I'm out of apple cider vinegar. hmm

LOL! Oh well, I need to got to Kroger, anyway. I'll pick some up.

FNW · Guru

Does it need to be apple cider? Asking for a friend. LOL

LOL! I'm guessing, it does. The smell of apples probably attracts the fruit flies.

It seems logical, to me. biggrin

(I could try the white wine vinegar, just for fun. I've never seen drunk fruit flies!) wink

TrudyML · Guru

Yes, apple!

TrudyML · Guru

Oh, FNW? You can't shoot fruit flies! I know you want to!

FNW · Guru

Can I try?

Fort Worth Mom · Mod/Penguin lover/Princess!

Take video! I'm begging you!

biggrin biggrin biggrin

Hahaha!

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

Prayers for DD!! She’s in the ER with a dog bite. Next door neighbor’s dog bit her bad. She actually called 911. I’m steps away but can’t go to her because of everything being locked down. Have to follow the rules, even as an employee.

Fort Worth Mom · Mod/Penguin lover/Princess!

Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear that, SB.

Prayers on the way.

I hope she'll be okay.

FNW · Guru

Prayers, SB!

Lindley · Guru

Oh no! Prayers 👍🏻🙏🏻

TrudyML · Guru

Oh no! Poor thing! :(

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

Prayer said, SB.

Not an Oreo fan. Never liked them.

A/C is a dehumidifier so it causes any air borne virus to quickly fall.

Masks will cause a warm wet environment around your nose and a mouth, around help the virus stay alive and thriving. Masks are like incubators. Especially if worn improperly.

We are at 92% humidity, only 89 degrees, though. No rain expected.

FNW · Guru

I don't wear mine properly. And I breathe out my nose with it because I wear it very loosely, quite frequently removing one side and holding it away from my face to get more air.

Fort Worth Mom · Mod/Penguin lover/Princess!

I got the apple cider vinegar.

My trap is set!

Now, to cook up some boiled chicken and rice for poor Jupie.

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

Thanks for the prayers!! DD is out of the ER. Needed some stitches on the right leg and the left leg has some superficial bites and is already bruising. Really pissed at neighbors.

I'd be mad, too.

What kind of dog was it, SB? And why was it loose? Is the dog being put in quarantine?

I hope your daughter has a speedy recovery.

Keep us posted, please.

TrudyML · Guru

I'd be ripping too. Make them pay all the medical. Or sue their homeowners insurance.

Momala · Great cook-happy wife-superb fisherman

Have the neighbors given you
records of the dog's vaccinations?
If they don't have them, or didn't
get the dog his regular shots, the
dog will need to be quarantined
(2 weeks, I think?). Has the dog
bitten any other people? Make
sure you file a police report,
even if you want to keep in good
relations with neighbors. Their
insurance should take care of
any costs from the ER.

Hope she feels better quickly.
Ice packs make out of frozen
veggies work well, without
being too cold. Peas or corn
work best.

Hugs

FNW · Guru

Dog would be dead by now if it were up to me.

TrudyML · Guru

*bang*

Fort Worth Mom · Mod/Penguin lover/Princess!

My neighbor got nipped by her own dog, a few years ago.

She went to the ER, for a couple of stitches, above her upper lip.

Even though, it was her dog, and he was up to date with all his shots, the ER had to report it, to Animal Control.

And they came and got the dog, and put it in quarantine for 10 days. (I think...it might have been two weeks. This was a few years ago.)

It was the law. And, I reckon the laws are different, depending on where you live.

But, my neighbor was shocked, that they lost their dog, for a while.

I don't think she would have gone to get stitches, had she known. cry

Lindley · Guru

I hope that the dog is up to date on his shots and they pay for her medical bills. As the police or animal control been notified?

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

DD was mowing the grass in our yard and they let the dog out and it attacked her. She didn’t even see it coming. These are renters next door. As usual, the renters in this house suck. These are the same ones the swat team had to encounter within two weeks of moving in.
DD said the police and animal control were at the house when she left in the ambulance. Right leg had a gash a few inches wide and deep. Muscle was hanging out. Left leg has a bunch of small bites and bruising. It’s some kind of mixed breed. Maybe 50 pounds.
Funny thing is the pit bull down the street visits us from time to time and just showers us with kisses.

FNW · Guru

I had a nipper. I hated that dog. Hated it. The ex wasn't ready to act. Until he was selling something and the buyer came to pick it up with their small child. Dog nipped at child. I kicked dog away so it missed, and tied dog up until they left. He still didn't want to have it put down. I was ready to use his shotgun on it.

I came home sick one day. Couldn't make it to the house, and got to trash can by the side to throw up. Dog was going after me, I was throwing up in can and fending the dog off me with my purse. Called ex at work and told him it was either lethal injection or a bullet, his choice. Ex came home and took dog to be put down.

Oh my gosh, SB. I'm sad that this happened to your daughter.

Hopefully, the dog is in quarantine, now.

Leash laws are pretty much universal. That dog should never have been allowed to run loose.

They need to pay, for the damage he did to your daughter. For sure! And if he has a history of being aggressive, he needs to be put down.

Mixed breeds, are usually friendly. I wonder if the owners abused that dog. confuse

Pit bulls, and other Bully breeds, used to be called, "Nanny Dogs". They are sweet natured, wonderful with children. Until someone abuses them, and makes them fight. cry

I sure hope your daughter is feeling better. Give her my best wishes.

Weather stripping will do that.
