Pretend chat 2

[RosieRedfoot]

Headed up to NC tomorrow and of course I look on Craigslist and see someone with a Russian tort being kept in a 20 gallon on sand. They say he's 3 years old and "loves fighting his reflection"... If I had the money and space I'd get him, but sadly I know I couldn't afford 2x the UV bulbs with my retail salary, lol.

Holy cow! I go away for three hours and you guys put up TWO PAGES of chat!

Erin: Did you have a doggy bag with you?

 

[Cowboy_Ken]

Last Sunday I took my dog running and halfway down the block she suddenly just collapsed in the middle of the street and wouldn't move. No matter what I tried she wouldn't budge, she just laid on the ground whimpering and twitching. I couldn't carry her either. Finally I said "emi! Want to get a snack?"
Her ears perked up and she hopped up and practically skipped back to my sisters house...

My schnauzer is like that

Omg, I was on my 13 year olds instagram and a bunch of girls in her grade posed for pics in like 2 feet of snow in their bikini's & snow boots and nothing else. So I was telling her I didn't approve and for her not to go along with anything like that. Well, my 6 yo walked by and was like "oh mom, we have to do something, those kids can't afford snow clothes".

That is the funny. You're kids have great stories

I learned some really cool stuff in my cases today. Oh and I had to do trust falls which almost went badly because of my heels. Trust falls plus heels is a bad scenario but luckily i got posited with a man who saved me.
I learned about social media business strategies and about business sustainability through green initiatives.
I missed tfo today though. Oh and k had a major hardware failure today but the only silver lining was that my client just stabilized want on the hardware.

I think that was one of my new house recommendations. Drain the water heater yearly. I'm sorry. Is it has or electric?

*gas, I meant gas

Eek. I have never heard of that.

Electric, think the element has broken but we have a spare thankfully and husband is handy. So all will be ok soon hopefully. MY job is to keep running out to field with buckets of scale and rusty water.

Is that for city water too

 

[Cowboy_Ken]

The worse part of hard water in an electric water heater that isn't drained regular like, is that the scale can build up thick. I've had to use a spoon bent at a 90 degree angel and scoop it all out. I did this through the lower heating element opening. Luckily our current home has naturally, “soft", water and this is no longer a concern.

It just depends on the hardness of your water. Best to be safe not sorry. Turn the heat off to your water heater before draining it. Draining it can involve filling a bathtub from the spigot.

 

[Tortoise]

We have a softener now too, but this hasn't been done in the 10 yrs we have been here so a lot of build up.
We are on well water.

Good tip. I will tell Mikey.
I forgot to say I also was forced to sing as a team building exercise.

I can't believe to tell you all my truck got booted last night. The said i was in the aisle and not a spot. Where my truck was had lines and a car across from me also. The parking manager woo came to collect my 75 and take the boot off said it's hard to see.

Compared to the cost of a water heater, a water tank full of water is nothing. Lol having to sing.

[Cowboy_Ken]

Ummm ok.

 

[Tortoise]

Good Night

Came home from work to find out my baby chinchilla passed away while I was at work I, not sure what happened. Maybe she ate something she wasn't suppose to while running around. She seemed a little lethargic today but she was eating like a pig still so I thought she was gunna be okay, I got some Baytril from the vet at my work thinking she may have gotten a cold or something and wanted it as a precaution but she was already gone when I got home from work. This sucks.

Morning! Morning! ​
