Happy birthday, meara!
I like to see people as, well, people. Not as possibilities.
That's a very wise thing to do.
(I'm worried about being "caught" and seen by someone, even though the chances of that are relatively slim)
I think it depends on the size of the place you live. I am becoming resigned to the fact that if I leave my house, someone will notice. Probably won't care. But I've run into people, seen others and have been told I was seen in others. Oddities of a small town.
While I think it's perfectly valid that you are not able to go into work and be effective but could still go to a fair, it's because I know much more about the specifics.
What a sad thing, Pix. How tragic for her owner.
I'd wonder about ramifications as well. Unless you have to sign massive disclosures, I can see where the policy might change. With allergies, phobias, the possibilities of injuries and lawsuits, I am always surprised when some locations allow dogs.
Oh, no, Pix, that's awful! Poor doggy, poor human.
Separately:
Puts my current dog trauma into perspective. Or rather, my soon to be traumatized dog, who has PERSONAL SPACE issues. And needs to be bathed every other day for the next two weeks because of a skin reaction.
4.1 earthquake about 18 miles away. Weeeeee! (It was a shorty)

My sister updated her Facebook:
Out of surgery and all is well. I am back in my hotel under a nurses care for 24 hours. Feeling no pain courtesy of percocets!
Thanks for the ~ma!!
Pix, that is terrible. I'm so sorry.
askye, I hope you went and had a fab time.
Pix, how awful. I'm sorry.

Seconding.
omnis, I'm glad your sister's surgery went well, and I'm sorry that work on the condo is becoming more complicated.
is this what healthcare has come to? a nurse in a hotel room!
It's an outpatient operation. Laproscopic (Sp?) Couple small holes. One for the laser, one for the camera. Stick it into the back, zap zap. Go home. But, the clinic is in Tampa, she lives north of Orlando, so, go back to the hotel. 24-48 hours later, you are good to go. week of taking it easy. By two weeks, should be back to normal, only, hopefully without the constant pain of crushed discs (or whatever it was). yeah. kinda crazy if you ask me.
ION- the construction folks called. They will resume tomorrow. Not be working this weekend, or Monday (holiday). I expected that, but nice to confirm it. The problem is, apparently there is NO support under the porch. :: blink blink:: Um. Ok. So, it will add a day or two to the affair. Hopefully done by end of next week. hahahahaha. Oh golly. Anyone else having flashbacks of that great Tom Hanks movie "Money Pit"?? Hahahahahahahahaha. Eh, at least it's not out of my pockets. Just an annoyance. Once it's done, it's done.
