Pet Peeves

[Hellyeah]

Just taxed the car and paid the property tax to keep the cunts of my back for another year.That's 750 euro down the pan. Ah well, chin up back to work Tuesday   

[The Heretic]

The inevitable reports of abandoned dogs and cats that happen this time of year..engage the brain people before committing to a pet ffsakes...

[The Heretic]

Not a peeve as such but my dog is sadly going downhill, bad on his legs and has to be physically supported while doing his business, his kidney and liver functions aren't good either and he has taken two seizures over the last month, but in between all that he can be very chirpy and eats fairly well, my vet is constantly monitoring him, pets getting old and frail in front of you and having to gauge when enough is enough is awful..

[Carnage]

One of ours is the same: back legs nearly gone, messes the bed regularly but is otherwise healthy. He belongs to my brother and he's realistic enough to know that a decision will have to be made soon, but it's only around 6 months since we lost another one so it's tough.

[The Heretic]

Sorry to hear about that, it's really tough, I don't think I have it in me to get another pet after this, that's not to say that I wouldn't encourage anyone who has the capacity to give an animal a home  it's very rewarding...

[Carnage]

We've said the same. The three we have left are 12 and 13 years old (one's the father of the other two, the mother was the one that died recently), so it's gonna be a rough stretch over the next year or two. Can't face that again. Sorry to hear about yours, lad.

My parents dog is the same, she's about 16, half blind and deaf, sleeps pretty much all day, arthritis in her back legs, and then over Christmas my dad noticed a few big lumps appearing under the fur. Even if they don't go down to vets there's probably only a few weeks left in her

Just discovered that the glass cover over one of the cameras on my S20 Samsung has shattered and left the camera exposed. Exact same thing happened on a Samsung I had a few years ago. Neither phone was dropped or hit off anything. Fuckin annoying.

Hmm...shortly after you questioned the mighty Emperor....spooky...

And I'll stand by that remark no matter how much shattered glass it costs me 

[Thorn]

Fair play so!

Myself and the missus both have pretty decent paying jobs, but spent the last few years paying off a couple of loans early to be in a position that we're a bit more comfortable and can put away a few quid for the kids. 

Now in the last few weeks the mortgage has gone up a few hundred a month, health insurance up, car insurance up...still in the exact same position as before while all these companies are posting about record year end profits. Fucks sake

We're exactly the same, it's insane. If we'd to pay for childcare we'd be fucked. Rubbing our faces in it with the state of the world in general. I digress.

Same here, put right back to square one despite coming up in the money over the last few years. Can't put a fuckin cent away for anything. Miserable.
