@ladybird1106 - my roommate went nuts last year (mid-life crisis?) and bought himself a 75" TV. Just cutting up the box it came in to go in the trash took forever. He also got himself the Siberian husky at the same time that I had to find a new home this year. The husky was a more difficult problem than the TV.
Hugs to @Toni'sfriend. Hope you can see a doctor and get things sorted. It is scary when someone passes out.10 -
Finishing up the year here - not quite New Year's yet. It has been a rough year financially. Will need to straighten out two major frogs within the next week. The next year doesn't look overly promising yet but if the frogs are taken care of, it should improve.8
