I love my wife and all, but Jesus Hercules Christ...

[Timberridge]

Circling back to the dog topic...wife brought it up a couple days ago. And started crying when I kept saying no. This woman doesn't cry. It was kind of stunning. I tried to make a joke about her bringing the big guns out but that didn't work at all. I didn't say yes but i'm toast boys. Now the challenge is to manage this somehow. And love the new dog when we get it. Fuck.

Jeez ice, we're on the same slippery slope. Mine wasn't crying, but we have a friend who's knee deep in the Tammy Wynette thread, and they have three dogs and three kids. I said we couldn't take a kid, but perhaps a dog as they can't keep all three now. So, I finally gave in. The dogs are nice dogs, well behaved. One of those xxxx-poo mixes. If the dogs were a behaviour shit show I woulda held out.

Now we just need a thread to find the perfect dog for you.

It is funny how we are all so different. If I had Iceman's place, I could see me with 5 dogs and 3 cats and maybe some chickens. I would love a horse or two, but that dream will likely never happen. Our house is shared with 2 dogs and 2 cats. I love them all. They are like the best little kids ever in my mind and heart. The newest addition will likely be with us until close to the end for me and that is a weird thing to think about.

This, fortunately, should be SUPER easy. Because dogs are generally awesome.

That said - glad it's you and not me. Fuck that shit.

[skaredshtles]

I don't snore but I gnash my teeth. Hard. Or so every woman I've ever shared a bed with claims. I think they all lie as my teeth show no sign of wear and if the stories Ms Boissal tells are true I should have nothing left but gums, and well rounded ones at that.
Anyway, I routinely wake up with the pillow fort built between us and occasionally with a pillow on my face, always makes me wonder how long she contemplated killing me before going back to sleep. This morning however I woke up with a really sharp pain in my front teeth and a phone on my face. Apparently I was making a weird enough noise that Ms B decided to take a close look and use her phone light to see what was up. She "accidentally" dropped the phone straight into my face. And she wasn't looking from up close cause the fucker dropped from what felt like 20' in the air. I woke up confused as hell and in pain to howling laughter because apparently dropping phones into peoples's mouths is a good way to have fun. I'm sleeping in the chicken coop from now on.

I get this sneaking suspicion that you are a human version of Ugly the Cat.

Oh I'll love the dog if i can put my petty resentment aside and I'm sure i will. Had an idea to change my life but fukkit, apparently this is the deal.

L2S, a year ago we had 4 dogs. but since then the two youngest ones died. Seemed like time to make a change. oh well it's not like it sucks.

Not sure at what point of life you are, but for me (in spite of constantly being urged by my kids to get a dog for company), this is the first time in 26 years that I don't have to be responsible for or accountable to another living creature's (kids, dogs, cat, wife) well-being on a daily basis. To be able to walk out the door without concern for having to take care of something/someone and be gone however the fuck long I want to be is extraordinarily liberating when you haven't lived that way for a while.

She listened to this, and silently walked out of the room.

Ah, you won the argument.
Or did you?

Bro......what happened to standing your ground? Some tears? Now she knows that shit works. You're mega fucked if you fold now.

Stay strong we are all behind you.

I grind my teeth so bad I sometimes wake myself up. No real obvious signs of wear last dentist check.

Like i said, in spite of the tears, I did not cave. But it's clear that I lost, let's be sensible here.

Hmmm... I still think it's a big lie to force me to wear a mouth guard, I just don't see the endgame. Mouthguard has been purchase btw but I've been looking at it sideways for weeks now as the thought of going back to my teenage retainer-wearing years isn't all that exciting to me. Ms Boissal is very unimpressed.

Well, I don't have as much hair as he does so I don't drag as many sticks, leaves, and grass clippings in the house but other than that the comparison is solid. Another reason why Ms Boissal is unimpressed. If one of us had to be dropped off at the shelter it certainly wouldn't be Ugly Kitty.

I stopped grinding my teeth when I stopped driving in Seattle by moving to vermont

Drastic - yes, but it worked

My dentist in Seattle discussed mouth guards

I laughed and said hell no

I still have kids but it sure was nice, this morning, to wake up at 5:30 and leave for work (fifteen minutes later) without waking up earlier and dragging my tired ass to walk the dog. I miss her a whole bunch and never minded the responsibility but it has been nice to not have to worry about.

Stay strong Ice. No dog is a great choice and that said we have a cat and my partner is not a dog person so so far so good on the no new dog thing.

[Core Shot]

This experience highlights the dangers and risks we’re all exposed to here with this ridiculousness need to festoon our homes with various pillows.

And for what? So our homes look like some HGTV commercial to appease some inner need to conform to the standards set by corporations and Big Pillow!?

Enough is enough here, we almost lost a good Mag last night.

How many pillow related deaths are we willing to accept? 1? 2? 12?

Fucking pillows.

Fuck them all

[Buster Highmen]

(in spite of constantly being urged by my kids to get a dog for company),.

well, given the company you've kept, I'm not surprised.

That was my approach at age 12.

A "like" button would be far too simple apparently.

the team down at the shop is working on this one, in shifts!

I think we should count ourselves lucky that they leave the lights on.

[Buster Highmen]

At various points in my "career", I ground my teeth so much my jaw ached all day, couldn't chew. So I quit.

the last couple of pages are pretty good
