My uncle, the one who has had all the lung problems, is being moved to hospice today. Any ~ma you can spare for him and the family would be very much appreciated.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
sj, that's so hard. Peaceful transition time ~ma for your uncle and all of your family.

So, the horrible thing that happened in the pet care company was made more horrible by the behavior of the roommate of the effected couple.
Apparently, two couples live together and we did them the favor of giving them a big discount for walking two dogs...when that is normally a premium.
Today...just 3 days after the tragedy...the roommate calls to...incredibly long story/rant about how people suck avoided...shake me down to essentially walk his dog for free 'Because of everything that has happened.'
We zeroed out the account of the bereaved couple and paid for the final vet bill out of common decency. There was no negligence or fault on our part. It was a horrifying accident that has shattered the walker involved.
But this guy, who didn't even know this couple before moving into their share two months ago, is trying to leverage their grief.
I. can't. even.
The conversation when around in circles for about 20 minutes because my brain simply could not comprehend what he was doing...and I'm a pretty damned cynical character!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
sj, peace and love to you and yours. It's so hard.

erika, I might just point that out to him should he call again.
I might add that we are already walking his dog for less than half of what we charge normally.
Jackhole indeed.
I can't say that I've never taken advantage of a situation in my life. But This? (He has never even mentioned the poor dog.)
