    I think you should have to take more than a vision test to renew your license in old age.

    Agreed. Anyone who has had to drive with my 79 year old grandfather would agree. Last winter, he came to a complete stop on an on ramp at night, in the snow, while being followed by a semi, because he couldn't see which way the road turned.
    I had a 90 year old man hit me 2 years ago by driving through a red light long after the light turned red. Upon the police arriving it appeared he had done this before.

    OK here's a real OU. My dog has a foot thing that flares up periodically when he licks it. So when that happens he wears a cone and limps a little until it goes down. He also needs his teeth professionally cleaned (the tarter is pretty bad). After 100's of dollars trying to figure out what is wrong with his paw we now need to get it cut open while under anesthesia to check to see of there is a splinter or if not to biopsy it. It will cost anywhere from $700-$900 depending on if it's a splinter of needs biopsy. Adding the teeth cleaning it will be over $1000. The problem is though we are tapped right now while I'm on leave without pay and all the medical bills that are rolling in (my insurance sucks). I love my dog like crazy but he is already 14 and pugs only live anywhere from 12-15 years so if it's cancer I'm not sure we would do much to treat it. I'm still on the fence as to what to do (we would have to charge it on the credit card) but DH thinks the dog is fine and that it's all unnecessary. I do want to add before I get flamed for not treating it yet over the course of his life we have spent thousands of dollars on treatments from allergies and teeth cleaning to hip dysplasia to anything else the vet recommended.

    My pug that is 14 has some hip problems which makes it hard for her to walk sometimes and the vet thinks something with her lungs. The vet said at her age we are better off getting her some pain killers and a little cart for her back legs, just to improve what life she has left as @crawford411‌ said. Pugs don't handle going under so well. We had a pug when I was younger who always chewed socks and ended up getting a string knotted up in her intestines (warning don't let your dog chew socks!) and she didn't survive the surgery to fix it. Ugh now I'm crying. Point is sometimes with an older pug it's best to just do band aids (not actual band aids, lol) instead of surgery or putting them under. Good luck to your pug, hope they are ok.
    Thanks for sharing that and sorry for your loss. I feel like a shitty owner not wanting to do the surgery. He's had several antibiotic shots to try to clear it up. I worry about him getting put under and not waking up.

    I enjoy matching socks when doing laundry

    The rest of the clothes can suck it

    (This is a very UO in my house right now)

    I knew I had a true UO there. Hope I'm not on too many shit lists.  :P

    Just because you don't like Pete and Todd's names doesn't mean you're on a shit list. ;) You'd have to be a little worse than that. Like, saying you hate cats. Then you might be on a post it.
    That you KILL cats.

    Speaking of...

    Or specifying that you don't like ginger cats.


    At least I don't think they're serial killers. Andplusalso, I think @golfingdarwinfish‌ 's Calvin may have changed my mind about ginger kitties....omg his face!

    I like white Christmas lights and single color decorations on my tree. But I'm about to throw that out the window for this kid. I'm going to start getting him his own ornament every year and when he's old enough to have an opinion about the rest of the decorations we'll do that, within reason.

    When I go without a bra my nipples end up raw from rubbing on my shirt. Does this not happen to those of you who like going braless? Do I have super sensitive nips our something?

    @narabug‌ I always wear cotton nursing pads because I experience discomfort when my nipples rub against bras too.

    Ok, so I'll bite on the other side of direct sales. I haven't read all three pages of the thread so I'm not sure if anyone else responded in defense...I work with Rodan and Fiejds. It's not my main gig and I'd never considered doing direct sales before I joined r and f. I got into it because it was a new company, product that had been sold in high end retail, and the friend who approached me about it was my business coach who seemed so unlikely to get involved in something like that...so I listened. I've never asked anyone to host a party for me, it's not how that company works, and I rarely advertise on social media, I just hosted a couple of "business launch" parties for myself to get started and I keep it displayed in my gym. Am I a millionaire? No. But, it's a product that gets washed down the sink and my customers do like it so people reorder. While I was busy having a baby in October, I received a paycheck that was enough for tuition for my older kids and I did nothing. It ws just my customers reordering and my downline making sales. I do know a lot of people in the company putting in more effort and making big bucks(my original sponsor included). I'm always super careful that I check in with my customers so they don't get products they don't need and if they do or they don't like something, I return it for them. I understand why lots of people don't like direct sales, but I think it can be done tastefully and be a good income source. How'd i do on my defense?
