Oh my gosh the amount of hair they must have to deal with! I have a lot of dogs but they are all mostly short hair and only a couple shed a lot.

Being on the west coast (ish), I'm kinda behind. Plus we had to go arrange for a new washing machine. My wife's machine has been down since Monday, so it has become rather urgent. I'm picking it up tomorrow.

I would imagine with your big family that would have been an emergency the very first day it was down. Lol

I love these little guys! They are so cute! But I think they are ones that would eat my clean up crew or corals or something I can't remember why I put them on my no list...

i recommend a speed Queen
Best appliance ever
Commercial grade, top load, and fills water to the top. None of this eco junk that use 3g of water for a load of laundry

Clothes actually come out clean and soft, and no gaskets to grow mold and get smelly. Samsung front load was the worst

Good morning!

I have to get some frozen foods today. I’m debating the PE mysis again or something from PSP. The fish and corals seem to enjoy the PE mysis and it does support my local small business but I need something for the bettas. lol.

Also, that’s a lovely snake

Sleep issues are not good I haven't slept much the past 3 days which is one of the few things I have found triggers migraines I went to bed with one last night and woke up with it again this morning. I took some meds and have an ice pack on my head so hopefully it helps soon,.

Oh something in common. I have sleep issues and yesterday woke up with the worst migraine I’m hoping today is better

Sometime I am proactive and if I know I will sleep for 2-4 hours I will take migrane or headache medicine before bed, since it lasts for 8 hours. That way…beat the problem before it starts and wake up with it in full gear

I'm on a daily prevention medicine that has helped me not get them as often then for when I do get them I have 4 different medications I can take to try to get rid of them. If one doesn't work i wait an hour and then try the next one.
