We got our tickets comped. We were third row from the back about 20 seats over from the stage. Really, unless you're behind a super tall person, there's no bad seats, imo. They are ridiculously uncomfortable, though. Like, metal folding chairs. So be prepared for that.

We did two cars on our cross country moves. Dog in one - she was a great traveler - and cats in the other. The cats were loose, but we put them in their infinity harnesses and put the headrest post through their leash handles. I put the litter box on the floor behind the passenger seat. Neither of them used it, but our older cat slept in there while we drove. We fed in the morning when we woke up and indicated upon unpacking everyone into the hotel. (Also, we stayed at motel 6 every night because they were the only hotel that didn't care how many and what kind of pets).
No meds for us, because our vet advised that every cat reacts differently to tranquilizers and there was just too much risk. They both howled for about an hour every morning and then settled down for the rest of the day.

Absinthe was great, although it is pretty obscene, so if you're easily offended, it is not the show for you.
Third on Joel Robuchon. We've also enjoyed the rotating restaurant in the stratosphere. They have a prix fixe that is amazing, and you can't beat the views.

Do you have a trusted Realtor? Get them to do a market analysis with their comps (even if there aren't a ton, anything helps) and their estimated price range for your property. Most tax offices will accept a CMA for assessment purposes. Heck, if you're in California, I'll do one for you.

If you are in an HOA or neighborhood with CC&R's, start there. Your neighborhood docs may have restrictions on paint colors. If not, pick a part of your home that gets a lot of sun and do large test samples. All the colors we considered looked great in the shade but several were completely awful in full sun.

I love the bath towels but ours keep un-hemming themselves - no idea why. Maybe it's our washing machine, but I've never had this trouble with any other towels. That said, they don't unravel once they're un-hemmed, so it really doesn't matter to us, lol.
My nurse last week was a peach with her "do you dooooo anything for exercise?" Luckily H was there to head her off with my tri training because I was about to explode her head with my eyeball lasers. Just because I'm fat doesn't mean I sit on my couch and eat potato chips all day.
Oh God, so much this.
The side eye I got when I told my cardiologist's nurse that I was concerned about my cardiac health because of being an endurance swimmer (and therefore often outside of cell service) was epic. Yes lady, not everyone in the endurance community looks like a professional marathoner.
She looks so happy! Is she a dachshie(mix)? Our B&T lost all his tan pretty early (6 or 7ish) and it makes for such cute expressive face. Congrats!
They think Corgi lab mix. But they're not sure. With Dot, she had some beagle in there and it was obvious by personality. This one has less obvious beagle-y personality (i.e. she's not overly food-y), but she's damn stubborn. So we're going a little stronger on the Corgi.

I'll buck the tide and say I love their lighting. You have to be careful - not all of it is good quality - but we have two lamps from there that still look brand new and are at least 7 years old. We've also installed a lot of their hard wired pieces without any trouble at all.
If you're a sewer, check out their fabrics. I also like their throw pillow covers. And take a look at the kitchen utensils - we have their nonstick tongs and they're the best pair we've owned!

I use CVS sport 50 spray. It definitely leaves a residue and isn't all that pleasant smelling, either, so you can scratch it for that reason. However, it's the most effective spray I've ever used. I think it's coppertone sport re-canned.
For face or high-burn-prone areas, I use a white zinc-based product. I've tried the clear zinc stuff and it's a no - I burned badly, although it was pretty good about not feeling sticky.

Second signing up for obedience. It just makes them more confident and an overall better member of the family. We will likely be pursuing classes this week with our new girl.

We did, in fact, get her on Saturday morning! Still working on a name for her. Her name pre-shelter was Missy, so we're calling her that for the moment, but I'm still not enthralled with it.

My dad had that problem when he was in the hospital. It's not the best for dental health, but he rinsed his mouth with pepsi a few times a day (he wasn't allowed to swallow it because of his condition) but apparently it was the only thing he found to be helpful. NO idea if that was more psychological than anything else, but there it is.

It's a laundry room. Granite in a laundry room is overkill, IMO. No worries, leave it as is. ABSOLUTE worst case scenario, buyers want a credit to replace it. But I doubt that will happen.

I just put in an application to adopt a dog. I was not planning on doing so right now. As in, R didn't want to get a dog until October (because summer plans) and I was in total agreement with that. But it is *absolutely* necessary right now. This girl evokes a visceral reaction in me - like, I saw her video and ugly cried (although if I'm perfectly honest, I don't think I'm capable of pretty-crying). It was meant to be. Fingers crossed we're accepted!
