    In our house, when a dog is laying on you you are exempt from having to move from your position lest you disturb the dog. We call this dog law. Everyone in the family knows that if the person the dog is on needs something, the other family members are to get it for them or help them out in whatever way. Need a drink refill? Invoke dog law and someone will do it for you with no complaints. Need to go to the bathroom? Sucks to be you because you can't get up. Etc.

    AISD offered curbside lunches to children who need them yesterday, and if schools are closed after Spring Break they'll do this M-F starting March 23. The full list of locations and times/details is here. Also, if anyone has young kids and is trying to figure out how to entertain them during this time of social distancing, someone posting this sample schedule on FB and it's a pretty good jumping off point.

    So you did find someone to take him, or are you still looking? I can share with the folks back home if he still needs a forever family.

    Yeah, people who live in covfefe houses really shouldn't throw stones. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Right, like he's always yelling. He reminds me of Craig on Parks and Rec. THIS WINE IS FROM SOMEPLACE BEAUTIFUL AND WARM AND AMAZING WHERE EVERYONE IS IN GREAT SHAPE AND THE NIGHT SKY IS FULL OF STARS!

    I have nothing against Bernie personally but out of the remaining Democratic candidates I think he's the least likely to beat Trump. I think if he gets the nomination it almost assuredly gives Trump the win. Way too many brainwashed GOPers who lose their minds when he describes himself as a socialist. I mean, I voted for Warren and I will vote for whoever the Democratic candidate is in the national election, but if Bernie gets the nomination I'm getting ready for four more years of Ol' Combover.

    I didn't think it was possible to be "inside" a tornado - I thought it was like a vacuum in there. Is that what he actually means, like being in the eye of a hurricane?

    Yeah, he's 41. Been through some shit in the last few months but other than the (probably) benign brain tumor, he's healthy.

    I mean, the rule about being 24 hours fever-free is what I would assume, but again, I don't know if that applies to this particular illness. A loved one is having brain surgery Thursday (here in Austin) and while I would normally not worry a ton about something like coronavirus at this point, this whole situation has me worried more than usual. I assume his immunity will be compromised for a while.

    My dogs are major chewers. Water buffalo horns are favorites. For plush toys, the only ones that've ever lasted more than a day are Fluff n'Tuff brand. The beach ball is the best one because it doesn't have a head or limbs for them to chew off instantly, but others that have lasted a long time (more than a few weeks) are the caterpillar and hippo. In Austin you can get them at Kriser's on Great Hills, but they also have them on Amazon.

    Rocket's back living that cone-free life, at least till it's time to operate on the next hip. He's recovering really well, considering he had part of his femur removed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Last weekend at Jason's Deli I saw a kid pick up a salad bar plate, lick it, use tongs to get a bunch of shredded cheese and put that on his plate, glance at his mother next to him to make sure she wasn't looking, then ditch the tongs to stick his hand in the shredded cheese and put more on his plate. So that's how we're all going to get coronavirus.

    So. Much. Floof.

    I keep going back to this. Makes me laugh every time.

    I may be in a cone but Edgar will get this caterpillar over my dead body. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    It's definitely easier to eat without the cone. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    We tried the donut the last time he needed a cone and it deflated within a couple of hours. Had better luck with the soft cone but I think it will be too short for where his incision is this time. I wish we could get away with something smaller than the regular e-collar, though. Our house isn't big and he whacks it into everything just trying to get around.

    Rocket had the first of two femoral head ostectomies yesterday. This one was on the worst side, the one where his hip was basically permanently dislocated because the joint was nonexistent. He's grumpy but less about pain and more because he can't jump on Edgar and keeps wacking into everything with the cone. They'll operate on the other side in a few months once this side is healed up.

    I've read both 'Salem's Lot and The Stand. About an hour and some change into the Gunslinger, I tabled it and am relistening to The Stand. Hard to pass judgement without finishing it, but that first hour was hot garbage. I tried several times to read The Gunslinger and have never been able to get into it. And I'm a well-documented fan of most of King's work, and The Stand is one of my favorite books ever. This one just didn't sit right with me.

    Ohhh the Boots Riley film.

    Don't know this one, but was it done by the guy who did The Lobster? Because it sounds like him.

    BEST PICTURE! Holy shit!

    Agree completely. I was expecting it to be one thing and it took a completely different turn. It has to win Best International Film tonight.
