I don't know if it's surprising or not, but that dog - and the late, lamented perennial winner of the ugly dog contest - were Chinese Cresteds. Gone bad, admittedly, but still the same breed.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Chinese Cresteds really have the edge there, don't they? But the owner who thinks "[n]o one has seen a dog that looks like this" is pretty out of the ugly dog human interest story loop.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Sara, that's similar to how I finally appreciated the Sandpaper Sally joke--it's not that the joke is funny. It's the look on people's faces when you tell it that's hysterical.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Today seems to be one of those days where the bulk of my work involves staring dully at the computer while I wait for other people to do things.
I must say, I'm doing a VERY good job.

move out and draw fire
if you want something that's relatively inexpensive and has a shitload of bang-for-the-buck, have you considered the Subaru WRX
SO much fun to drive! But the interior is very stripped-down rally car. Not comfortable like a Passat.

Hmm. I wish all of this didn't require actual energy expenditure.
Sounds fun, though.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
I have had the same MB 300e since 1988. It has gone in and out of "cool" about three times. I think it is currently out, or maybe not. I don't really care. It is all kinds of paid-for.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
ita--the experience my family has had with Subarus is mostly negative. They have a tendency to break down pretty rapidly. I'm a Honda girl myself. At least, until I can afford this.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I've considered buying a MB 300e of that vintage. I figure I should own at least one car that gets better than 20 mpg on the highway, at and some point I'll have to replace my midsize '85 LTD cop car in that role....

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I have a Subaru and love it. So far, no mechanical issues and I've had it 3 years (knocks on wood).
