My dog was just discomfited by the fact that the printer made noise in the other room...without anyone near it! Shocking! Unsettling!

[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.

And right now he's exhibiting ennui. HARD. That's got to be good for a $20.

And I was clearly the problem address.
Oops. That's pretty funny.
bonny, if you take that employee at her word, she isn't doing anything 'legal,' she's just hoping her emotional blackmail might be worth a couple hundred bucks or so. Which, sadly for her, it's not.
Dinner was trout! Franny ate a boatload. Must remember: picky kid likes fish.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I love you guys.

I fully support writing up this comp claim. "Reason for inability to perform regular duties: Dog stared into abyss, abyss stared back."

You have NO IDEA now badly I wish I could forward every comment in this entire discourse to her. Seriously. BADLY.

Burrell, in the email, she asked if we had yet consulted with our insurance company and/or attorney to determine 'how this situation will be handled.'
Handled? Handle what?
Would it be mean of me to suggest she pursue worker's comp?

I get that she's upset and worried about her dog, I do. It's just... oy!
Although I just had a thought. She wasn't even going to take her own dog to the vet at first, right? Maybe money is really tight and she's worried about how to cover the vet bill. I mean, she could handle it a whole lot more gracefully, but there may be a real anxiety underneath all that.

Mr Peabody gets so upset by a smoke detector that needs a new battery that he hides under my chair. I think the smoke detector people owe him something.

I 100% get that. I was _terrified_ when I discovered that the ex-friend would not help with my medical bills.
I have already procured payment of her medical bill from the client. He is not legally obliged. I just went at it as if it was a given that he would cover the $175. I assumed he could afford it more than she could.
