I have at least four Social Security cards. The paper that comes with them says not to keep them in your wallet, because they might be stolen, so I always keep the card in a drawer or something, but every time I move to a new apartment, it gets lost and I need to get a new one.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I have a "paperless title" to at least one of my cars, which I think is meant to solve that where do you keep the title problem.
I think MeganWalker needs to watch this: The French Revolution goes Lady Gaga.
Massages feel great, like a good workout, but they aren't nothin'.
...I wish a good workout felt as good as a massage, I'd be in GREAT shape!

sick people feel better.
dog people, I am dog sitting at a friends and her dogs are not well behaved. One is very nervous energy, jumps at your face will not let you pet the other without getting all up in your grill. This same dog pulls something terrible on leash and has been going to the bathroom in the house after being taken outside. Last night, he pooped twice while out in the yard on leash with me, then came in and pooped again on the floor. He can't be let off leash because he jumps the fence and runs and runs.
The other dog is less full of energy, but also less likely to mind you when you command sit. He destroys any toy he is given.
The dogs growl and bite on each other quite a bit, more than I am comfortable with.
Any ideas on short-term things to address any of these issues?
Sounds like dominance stuff to me!
You can't train them, obvs, but they may be being worse with you in order to assert dominance.
Love him or hate him, that "TZCH!" noise the dog whisperer makes it sort of magical. My suggestion would be to use it when correcting them. [link]
The other thing you might do to impress upon them that you're in charge is when they've been bad make them obey you in some other way. Like, make them sit five or ten times in a row. Put him on the leash, "sit!" when he sits tell him "good dog!" Repeat. It can start to impress upon them a better way to get attention from you.
I Just watched that . I had no idea the french revolution was so .. frivolous
I'm making beef stew. It seems OK, but like it would benefit from a can of tomatoes, except I don't want that much more stew! Ah well. I will eat my adequate stew, and like it.

I don't know a heck of a lot about dogs, not having one myself, but one thing I have seen Victoria Stillwell ("It's Me or the Dog", Animal Planet) do to assert dominance is to pretend to eat some of the food from their dishes before putting the dishes down in front of them. Pack leader eats first, so if you are not having a meal at their meal times, you act like you are eating some of theirs, make a big show of it.
