Hi vets! I was just thinking about my sweet doggy and how she’s definitely going to live forever, and how I can make that both more comfortable and more possible for her, and I would love to hear some feedback, advice, etc.

I have a 45lb staffy mix (in case it’s relevant, her dna test said am staff, abpt, pug, rottie, chow & husky. accuracy is tbd lol), she will be 2 years old in September. At about 10-11 months old we noticed some occasional stiffness, then a weird gait at times and she was diagnosed with a luxating patella (grade 3 I believe) and had a MPL corrective surgery last October. At her final follow up with the specialist everything looked great!

To the untrained eye (me), the girl has a weird hind end. Sometimes she walks funny, and it does seem like sometimes she’s a little stiff still. She still runs weird too and does the occasional bunny hop but that’s only on hard flooring that’s a little slippery. For her long term health, is there anything we can start doing now to help prevent other orthopedic issues?

Hi! I’m looking for someone to hire to make a watercolor painting of a photo of my friend and her child. Obviously googling this is a super easy option, but I have enough self awareness to know that I suck at filtering out what is AI generated and what isn’t and I would like to hire a real human artist to make this. Do you have any recommendations? Thanks so much!

I just got put in jail for an hour because I went too fast. I did get a warning about this a couple of days ago. I totally understand the idea behind this, but both the warning and the time out came from studies that prolific themselves estimated to take 1-3 minutes! I’m a little frustrated because I’m supposed to pay full attention and not do them with distractions, and then catch a pee pee whack for doing just that lol. Is there a way to avoid this especially with the super short surveys, or is it best to just dawdle on them?

Saturday night I had a walk in 2 top, nice couple. A little odd and their humor was very dry which I personally like. I also looooveeee guests who ask questions that show they care about everyone who’s making their experience nice (for example: ask me if I tip out my cocktail servers! I’m happy to explain how it works and that I’m paying them for helping you enjoy!). This lady totally meant so well, it was just hilarious. They sat down, my cocktail server, let’s call her Tammy, (basically super drink focused SA) says hi and gets drinks going for them. I greet the table after, give them the specials and then the lady looks at me and says “Is Tammy your coworker?” I know she was trying to say someone had already been to the table/she thought they already had a server, but the wording just got me. Like we’re in the same uniform in the same building at the same job, what else would she be 😂 I just giggled a little and told her we work in tandem but Tammy’s the best part of their dinner, she brings them all the booze and not the bill.

My spouse and I both work in the industry, just in different sects. We both deal with our fair share of regulars, some are great and some are….there. Tonight we were commiserating and regulars came up, specifically because my spouse has a GRIP of regulars who suck fucking crusty balls. We both agree that the term “regular” has some degree of positivity to it and I said there should be some type of slur for regulars who you wish were one offs or less due to the fact that they are rude,disrespectful, shitty tippers, annoying etc. but no where near the level you’d be at to get 86ed if that makes sense. Do you have any fun terms you use for people who fit that bill??

Hey all! I’m in the process of looking for a very lightly used vehicle and have found a couple that fit the bill (I know exactly what car I want to buy) but I want to really do my research on the dealerships themselves before walking in. I’m a young enough woman who does not thrive in a high pressure sales environment, so I am worried about being taken for a ride (lol). It’s one of those times I wish I could have my dad come with me but I need to learn how to handle these situations on my own! I’m specifically looking at a vehicle at Right Honda at the moment, but I am also looking for insight both good and bad on any dealerships around here.

I did previously purchase a used car from autonation and I know they have a no-haggle approach but they also misled me about some issues in the car that I was none the wiser to and also had horrific experiences with their maintenance department (my car had an issue that fell under the warranty I got pressured into buying (thank god on that I guess) and they moved my car between autonation locations and no one knew where it was for almost two weeks) so I absolutely don’t want to deal with them again.

I did find a car I am super interested in at Right Honda, but noticed that they have a protection package (paint and window tint) on there for nearly $2000 and I have no intention of paying for that. I love the idea of walking in and essentially saying “I’ll buy this car right now if you take that off, or I’ll go home”, but if that’s something that is firmly not going to happen then I don’t want to waste my or anyone else’s time AND miss out on a car I want. Has anyone
had success with negotiating that at Right Honda? I’m also planning on going in with my own financing secured from my credit union but would certainly be open to financing through a dealership if they beat the rate or matched it and either dropped the price or the protection package.

Am I thinking about this the right way or am I being naive to how it actually works? Basically any insight on right Honda or honestly any dealerships around the valley would be appreciated, as well as any tips on working with a dealership or any recommendations for honest sales people (do those exist?) or red flags to look out for. Thanks so much, I really appreciate any insight and opinions!
