She was pissed and I got my beer. when I was a kid , I stayed with a bunch of friends , there was a beer factory 1 street over , you'd bring a case of 24 empties and 10$ , for a refill , right out of the machines , the kids would all go and get the beer , for their folks - nobody ever bothered anybody , there was no ID needed for Cigarettes , Beer , or Booze - the neighborhood was Irish 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Back in Québec in the Sixties, it was routine for 10-year-olds to be sent to buy smokes for their parents. We could buy them for ourselves just as easily, and some kids did. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven’t spoken in twenty years, but she’s probably still smoking. She had other addictions as well.

Tarheel Posted March 1, 2021 Author Share Posted March 1, 2021 Jake update for the dog folks here. Didn't give him much more than two days and actually had my yard guy start digging a plot. Called the vet asking if he had a miracle drug to administer. He said there were a couple of things we could try so I took him back in. Running a fever of 103 when 101 is normal indicative of infection. Gave him two IM shots one a steroid that last for 29 days. He said it is now up to Jake. Brought him home and wrapped him up due to chills. Giving water with a dropper. No interest in food yet but that may change with the steroids. Stopped on the way home for a half gallon of Belvedere Vodka to see me through this. Thanks for the PMs about the Jakester............. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Darnit @BigStewMan You've got it bad tonight. It's felt like Monday here since two days ago and the folks at my former storage facility -icked with me again today so I'm moving that stuff a third time now... OUT OF THERE. @Tarheel Know it's hard but if the shots made him more comfortable they were well worth it. Good Job. If my memory serves me he was a rescue-pet a while back? I'm aware that can be a two-way street often. Ya'll are in my thoughts. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
