The Humane Society doesn't do it and I don't think CARE does either if you find it too invasive. I know people have different feelings about things like that. I really went through the wringer to become a foster. LOL. Had to provide vet records for all my personal pets in addition to a home check.

Yes, it is. I had to do home checks for all my fosters before they went to their new homes. With my foster dog I made sure the fence was secure and tall enough without room to go under, etc. With the cats and the dog I checked for plants that are toxic to pets and things like that. A lot of people don't know about toxic houseplants, essential oil diffusers, and other hazards. No one is trying to invade your privacy -- just make sure the home will be safe for the animal and possibly give some helpful tips for bringing the new pet home.

With the dog we spent weeks meeting up in public parks so the dog they already had could get to know the new dog on neutral territory. Then we spent a few more weeks with me bringing the new dog to their house for play dates. This was necessary for these two large dogs. It wouldn't always be.

Watching Over Whiskers - foster based cat rescue

Rescue One - foster-based rescue for both dogs and cats

I have fostered for both of these organizations personally and can recommend either one. I know a lady who fosters for Eden which another poster suggested and I know they are also good. I just haven't worked with them myself.

I came here to say this. I go to him even though I have insurance because his fee is lower than my insurance co-pay. Save the insurance for when I need a specialist or hospital.

Not much of a drinker either but interested in any wines you might want to give away as I cook with a lot of wine.

Not good. Waking up every morning is really getting tiresome.

I've been feeling this way for years now. That one more thing keeps happening and somehow I'm still here but I'm not at all happy about it.

Yes

Second Ozark Refuse. We've had them for a few years and never a problem.

North side and ours is working fine today.

You might also check with Petco. I have seen small animals in there to be rehomed before and have taken a fish there to be rehomed. Yes, weird, but he was attacking his tank mates and needed to live with bigger fish. LOL

If you don't find anyone you can rent a pick-up truck at U-Haul pretty cheap. We've done it several times. With it only being 3 miles you'll probably pay about $30.

Wait until Prime Day and they practically give the Kindles away. Then you can use the library to check out Kindle books without having to drive there. The vast majority of books I read are checked out of the library and sent to my Kindle without leaving my house. I only buy hard copies when I know I will want to keep the book.

I have the Kindle Paperwhite. No glare and it won't give you a headache like your Fire did. Also, you can probably trade the Fire in for a discount on the Kindle. I always send my old one in and get $20 or so off the new one.

We've had the service for a long time -- I think we were among the first to get it. The service has been very reliable except for a day recently when it seemed to go in and out all day. That issue was resolved by the next day.

There were some billing issues when Brightspeed first acquired them but those also seem to have been ironed out.

My husband works from home and has to have reliable internet and so far they have been better than AT&T fiber was.

Also a northsider and it was the only theater we ever went to. Haven't been since the pandemic started though. Got used to streaming new releases at home.

There should be free classes at OTC. I think you can go through SPS if you're under 25 and they even pay for the testing.

Far north here and same problem.

Yes, very brief and it resolves with no action on my part. No resetting the modem or any of that.

Yes! I was wondering if it was just me. It's been in and out all day. Have given up on streaming music as it stops every few minutes.

Someone burglarized my neighbor with a U-Haul in broad daylight. I saw furniture and stuff being moved out but figured it was someone moving out with it being broad daylight and a U-Haul. A different neighbor has cameras and had the plate number of the U-Haul. All the cops needed to do was find out who rented the U-Haul. They did nothing. Neighbor never got any of his stuff back.

Ours went up $200 a month when my son got his license.

My 19 and 23-year-old kids will both be voting.

My husband just got back from voting. He said there was a line. I'm on my way next.

There are four voters in our household and we get four copies of everything.

Urgent Care will probably prescribe antibiotics because the pain is probably caused at least partly by an abscess. If it is abscessed the antibiotics will help with the pain until you can get the teeth removed.
