  • It is really hard to make me angry. But after the phone conversation I just had, I am about to lose my freaking mind.
    I’m in a good mood today :) But that’s been happening a lot lately :)

    I saw pictures of my friend's collie dog today. Blue merles color and long hair. So that was a good thing to-day.

    I love blue merles! Collies and other breeds (Border Collies, Australian Shepherds, Cardigan Welsh Corgis, Shelties, etc.) Glad you got to see the Collies!! :)
    It was really warm yesterday… now we have a huge snowstorm and it’s supposed to snow until tomorrow morning. What the heck?

    Have you ever stayed in a high mountain town?if not that's the kind of weather you get it's similar to areas on or near the equator I've experienced both one thing to consider put spf on as you burn when it's that sunny

    Yes I have! :) I’ve been to mountain resorts.
    I have kind of dark-ish/medium tan skin, I don’t burn lol

    You still get sun damage now because the ozone layer has been irreparably damaged but you won't see it ,my mam didn't burn the despicable nhs!, didn't tell her!, if she was in a certain area ,she could develop a skin allergy from sunlight ,while receiving a therapy, at the time factor 50 was just being sold ,still! didn't work, it was like seeing someone with the very first stage of radiation poisoning
    A past friend (irl) contacted me, and I have zero interest. He left me behind for some new friends. He probably wants something. Get lost!!

    Well that's got to hurt.
    I don't keep up with people either who just want me for some personal gain. People are not Things.

    I have a similar conundrum too. I got a message from a friend at the beginning of the year, and I responded but she responded almost immediately back afterwards. I still haven’t responded back because she went silent on me for a whole year And that left me extremely upset and confused. It’s not worth the heartbreak again, so do what you think is best for you. That’s what I’ve learnt,

    Never had that but I'm seen as greedy by some
    61 degrees today (can’t find the degrees symbol on my stupid iPhone lol.) We have strange weather here. But I will be outside all day! :)

    It would normally be 30 degrees here too! Just a very nice early spring day :)
    I have to go pick up some dog treats about 40mins away. They are one of the only kinds I’ll use (all natural. Hard to find in supermarkets.)
    Why do people get mad at me when THEIR dogs are out of control and going after MY dogs? I should be the one who’s mad…
    If I've not given you a like and I've pressed report its because I couldn't manage to hit the like button and this crappy thing decided to do what it likes
    Gross weather we’re having. It’s supposed to be warm-ish and sunny tomorrow but it keeps raining and everything has turned to slush :/

    Mid-March usually starts feeling more like spring here but it doesn’t get truly warm until May. Fortunately I love jackets.

    thats climate change, you weren't born when there was snow in December, which didn't turn to slush very very quickly, I can remember it
    Someone just gave me a really hard time about having a service dog in the supermarket. Kept complaining that there was a dog in the store :(

    I had a client (dog) this morning at 10 and I have another one at 3:30. So now I get to work on some training with my dogs in between :)
    Hi Luca, I'm sorry if I seemed a bit brief in my reply to you, within the pizza poll thread. I wanted to mention that I am sorry that there are foods that you are unable to eat, as well. I developed a condition called histamine intolerance, of which I've been attempting to reverse. Do you have allergies, as well, or a different issue. If too personal, no need to answer, of course. : )

    Thank you, Luca. You are always so lovely to talk to, as well. Thank you for your hopeful wishes. I'm sorry that you are unable to eat certain cheeses, and have a mold allergy. I am the same, if it helps to know. I hope you've been enjoying your evening. :-)
