I love that RBP only picked out "green people" dogs. The local humane society has a whole typing system for adult dogs. Green people dogs are the most active and need the most attention. Orange people dogs are in the middle, and purple people dogs are the most low-key. We'd be looking for an orange people or purple people dog. I love both of the ones that RBP posted, but we are not at a place in life to be green people!
Smo, checking my PMs. Can I say how much I love that you don't even need to tell people here you've sent a PM. It actually shows up at the top!!! So awesome.

I had a dobi-hound mutt (our best guess) who was lazy and large. She was still ruled by the cats we lived with beginning when she was about 2 or 3. One swipe from fatty asshole cat, and she was done, cowering in the corner. So, based on that anecdote, as long as you find a dumbass scared or her shadow dog, the cat won't be a problem. The smaller dog would wrestle the cats (and usually lose), but my 80 pound mutt wouldn't engage.
Also, 80 pound mutt did just fine in our 500-600 sq ft homes. Lazy lazy. She didn't really hound bark that much, never bayed, but she was incredibly talkative.
My flameful isn't that flameful. I was supposed to be enroute to Singapore now, and it's all cancelled. So we turned our going away parties into stages of grief parties. We were angry (drink), sad (drink), and now accepting (drink more). It's nice that our friends are happy we're staying and want to keep taking us out, but my liver is going to need a break.

You wanted flames? You got them.*
I've had a FWB for about a year now whom I only see occasionally (he's an old friend). We got together for a couple of days this week while he was in town and had a blast.
Buuuuut, I committed the #1 cardinal sin of FWB-land - I started to fall into serious like with him.
I finally sent en email to him today letting him know how I felt, including how uncomfortable it made me that I know he's in a relationship (yeah, learned that a couple of hook-ups ago - you said you wanted flames...), and he responded letting me know he totally understood, that it wasn't his intention to make my life more difficult, or to cause weird feelings, that his Catholic guilt was definitely acitng up blah blah blah. And that he didn't want to ruin what should otherwise be a friendship where we care about one another and make decisions / actions based on what will be best for the other person so he wasn't going to pursue "that aspect" of our relationship (read: sex) any longer.
The most flameful part? I'm kind of super sad that he responded the way he did. I sent the email because I knew I couldn't continue with the FWB relationship (both because of the falling into like, and because the guilt in re: his gf was just too much for me), but I guess I was actually hoping he'd take this the other way.

Anonyguest, sounds like you handled the situation appropriately and it is perfectly understandable that you feel sad about the way it went down. No flames, only hugs and :beer:
I don't know that it's flameful, but I have to find some way out of my funk. I'm waiting on my transfusion. I'm tired all the time (even though I still am working out almost daily...I really don't want to give it up) and my home is starting to reflect that malaise.
I'm just such a fucking whiner that I'm annoyed at myself.

gpointe, I say you wait until after the transfusion before being so hard on yourself. I'm willing to bet a lot of how your feeling stems from the anemia.

Dude, anemia effing blows. I'm 100% positive you'll feel better after the transfusion. Been there, done that, felt better.
I'm actually glad my oldest is going to her dad's tomorrow for a week. I'm SO sick of teenagers and coming home to one after being around them all day makes me twitchy.
