The Dane asked me to pick him out a toilet seat for my mother's new toilet.

 

I emailed him this:  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GUF7LXW/ref=s9u_simh_gw_i2?ie=UTF8&fpl=fresh&pd_rd_i=B01GUF7LXW&pd_rd_r=3af13969-338e-11e8-8608-8970f4803fc8&pd_rd_w=k7QfO&pd_rd_wg=OrIGb&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=&pf_rd_r=K4CMZ5YAVV35RMDX9741&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=e6624b56-7cc1-411f-9d12-9cc8feb6c214&pf_rd_i=desktop

I bought my elderly flatmate, at her request, a toilet seat that had barbed wire embedded in it. He BIL hated it. Bonus points.

I can explain it to you. But I can't understand it for you.

Dude recommends replacing kitchen/bathroom floors, good idea man.

Dude recommends replacing kitchen/master-bath countertops, OK idea man.

Dude recommends replacing all carpet with tile, not going to happen man.

Hola! Another quick hello! Still busy but more relaxed. I am leaving this job because our life is about to change. We are moving away from the area and I couldn't be happier!

Don't know exactly when I will stop working because it depends on a few factors, but it should be within the month.

Super excited! I'll get to be a full time mom for Mini C and we ARE GOING TO GET A DOG!!!

Hope everyone is doing alright!

Where will you be living if you don't mind me asking? We moved in very late December from CA to NC and finally we were able to get a dog for the family which we couldn't do in CA because our apt didn't allow dogs. I have 4 kids(11, 9, 4, and 1) and a dog was very much need/wanted by all. So my youngest child(Bekah) turned 1 in January and my sister thought it would be a good idea to get her a dog as a bday present. She knew someone that rescued a dog and got her to give to her on her bday, and my daughter absolutely loves her so much. We named her Coco because at the time she was a little small brown dog that was supposed to only be a Chihuahua and terrier mix and not get more than 10-15lbs. But now she is probably 20-25Ibs and just keeps growing bigger and now looks more like a Belgian Malinois, which we are happy about because we love bigger dogs. Bekah can't call her Coco yet so she calls her "ToTo". Overall she is a very good dog and she gets a lot of play time from the kids and the dog next door. Pictures will be coming later don't worry.

That's why I told my daughter that she could not wear leggings to school.

Well these are workout leggings.  Theyre definitely NOT see thru and meant to be worn as pants.  These particular ones may be a size too small though as this isnt an issue I normally have? Sigh. Oh well!

Normal leggings are meant to be under a skirt, dress, or long shirt.
