  • In an ideal world, I'd be able to be as perfect as a dog owner as you are. But I'm not. I'm a real person who has real things going on. Is is practical to go outside with him EVERY time he goes out? For instance, when I'm cooking, or on the phone with someone, or ya know, doing my own business? No. It's just not. And considering I'm planning on selling my house in the next 2 years, I have no intention of putting in a fence.

    Like I said, I'm not perfect, but there's something incredibly irritating about your holier than thou attitude when I know I did the best I could with what I had at the time. And like I said, it has been a series of adjustments that we worked through, and it works for us.

    Oh I didn't realize you cook, and talk on the phone.  That totally changes the situation.  I don't do things like that.  I just watch my dogs.  All the time.

  • well, i got to work with liquid nitrogen this morning. RED LETTER DAY!!!!

  • I am supposed to be at my new house (40 minutes away) in 5 minutes. I don't even have my contacts in yet. Luckily the contractor has a key, so I'm just going to continue taking my time.

    I painted one closet on Saturday and I'm still sore as hell. Also I can't remember if I resealed the paint can, or if I just laid the top on it. So I'm expecting to go back to a half-can of dried paint, which will suck.

    I got the tronivator on Saturday night, and since then I've been spending bux all willy-nilly on whatever I want. It's nice. What isn't nice is that I'm at the point where new floors cost half a million coins and take over a day to build, and I don't like waiting for the money and then waiting for the construction. I've only gotten to do one challenge because I don't have any of the floor pairs, and I die a little inside every time a new floor is built that's not part of a challenge.

  • I have $140 bux, and I'm dying thinking about how far away the tronivator is. I want to start moving my floors and buying costumes, dammit.

  • I got hit on Saturday twice, right in front of Mike. First time we were at the Dayton/Xavier game and this group of recent grads sat next to us. They were drunk. One kid started chatting me up right away. He lives in NYC so when I mentioned I'd be there next week he asked if I wanted to hang out or go to dinner. LOL. no buddy, you're 24. PS, I'm married. Though it was a nice ego boost that these boys thought I was 25. aaw. Mike found it all very amusing.

    The second time we were at our local watering hole. It's a restaurant/bar but really more bar at night. However apparently one of the regulars (she's from somewhere in Africa originally) brings her kids there to hang out. So her 6 year old son approached me with a "hey girl, or should I say...cowgirl" (he was wearing a cowboy hat) and made flirty eyes at me.  His mom came over and explained that he loves women with long hair and that she should "just accept that my future daughter in law will be white." HA! He was a little charmer and would come over periodically to chat me up. It was pretty amusing.

    If the standard for perfection is "does not get lost regularly", I'm pretty sure I'm going to rock it.

  • Yeah, except there's so much more to it than getting out of the yard. It's navigating the hundreds of hazards in your home. But I'm sure with your hawk-like vision and cat-like reflexes, there's no way you could possibly go wrong. Good luck with all that.

    Poor dog. Spanky has an invisible fence too. If he gets out, he roams, and then knocks on people's doors. Then they call me because I have my number on his tags.

    I judge the everloving sh!t out of this.

    You judge the invisible fence as a whole? That's all I can gather at this point.

    Yes, the IF system is less than perfect. However, several times I have had Spanky at friends' home and he has dug out under their privacy fences and chain link fences. So, the only other option would be to tether his little butt to a chain, which I refuse to do. But considering I picked up the dogs (2, my sister took in the other one) during an ice storm, searched for owners for over 2 weeks, and took them in because the shelters were filled to capacity, I'm doing the best I can with him.

    This was holier than thou, not what Boxer said.  It's awesome that you saved him, but you aren't doing your best.  You could have fostered him till he got adopted or found another rescue to take him in, but you chose to keep him. He is now your responsibilty to keep safe and your sucking at it.

  • I don't have a dog, but I thought it was a given that you go out with the dog, unless you're confident they're secured in your yard.

    It is difficult to keep an eye on a toddler, but that's why you child-proof your home:  gates on the stairs, locks on cabinets, sharp or heavy objects out of reach, doors locked to rooms that are out-of-bounds.  It just takes diligence to stay a step ahead of them, but it's kind of a necessity.

    I will also add keeping all important pieces of paper out of their reach unless you want them to rip up a $1000 check you set out to deposit.

    Huh?? It is what it is, just stating the facts, m'am.

    Please, someone call animal control and come rescue this poor victim. Clearly, he is in need.

    Anywho...it works for us.

  • It was an ice storm, we looked for 2 weeks, the shelter was full, sorry but that's holier than thou.  Most people would say I found the dog, I kept him. 

    It may be working for you, but I don't imagine it works for your neighbors or your dog.

  • So now would be a bad time to tell you guys about the time where some golfers across the street called to tell me he was chasing their ball across the tenth green? And I had to go to the pro shop and get a cart to go pick him up? And then we took a joy ride because he was loving the golf cart so much and he looked so cute with his little ears flapping in the wind? That's too bad, it's a great story.

    Pretty obvious sarcasm there.  I wish my dog would run away.  Shes the worst.

    But the thing is - it doesn't.  He's regularly escaping.  That's a problem, and you should be trying to fix it.  Not just throwing your hands up, saying he's lucky he's not out on the street, and this is as good as it's going to get.

  • I'm so happy there was TT discussion in here. I just got the 125 elevator last night, I feel like I won the lottery. If I continue to save like I had saved for that, I'll have the Tronivator in two or three weeks.

    Also, I got a bitizen wearing a costume! His name is Ricky MacDonald and he's unemployed. He moved in all by himself, I was so excited whilst giving him that elevator ride, I knew where he was going. It's not the best costume I've seen, but I'm still happy to have it.

  • I have the $75 elevator and it makes me a little dizzy. I don't want to upgrade.

    One time, when Spanky got out, he came back with a tattoo on his arm that said, "Mom" and a heart with an arrow through it. Clearly, we don't have any problems.

    You have to watch a dog ALL THE TIME? Well thank god I'll never take on that responsibility. I wouldn't have kept him either so send me to hell.

    I don't know what it's like to have a dog but I certainly don't watch my kid all the time he's in my house either. He might get out too.

    Getting out once every few months doesn't seem like a huge deal to me, but then again if someone's gross dog bit me or something I'd be suing so I guess I then can see both sides in a way.
