I have a wood burning fireplace, but it doesn't give off much heat. Was ^this once a fireplace?
It is a fireplace. That is a fireplace insert. Never use an open fireplace for heat. You fly through the wood and most of the heat will shoot up the chimney then eventually cause a draft. Open fireplace is a great short term heating the room for looks and atmosphere but not effecient at all.

Oh, I know that. I will have to check out a fireplace insert.

That feeling you get when you arrive at work, sit down at your desk, and have the sudden realization that you left home without closing your garage door....

Drove back home, sure enough.... wide open :facepalm: At least I only live four miles away.

I wonder if I can talk the landlord into upgrading to one that has an app where you can close it remotely. :laugh:

Seriously, I need to think of something.

Starting to get to that point where I'm looking around for at home vets for my 14 1/2 year old dog. They provide end of life euthanasia for your pets so it doesn't stress them out going to a vet.


I'm very depressed and sad about this. But the decline in my dogs health the past few months has been evident. And now she's pretty skinny and doesn't really want to eat.


This is never easy is it? Getting ready to let go of a pet that's been in your life for almost 15 years.

I don't know what life is without her. I can't remember it. And I don't want to.

It's so hard. :( I'll never get over having to have Daisy put down, even though she was in pain and it was time.

Appreciate it everyone.

She ate a little just now. It's just so hard to see your dog decline. I am grateful for the 14 1/2 years. But damn. I've had enough of my animals unexpectedly passing away.

At least with her...it's not unexpected. It's just a decline. She's got arthritis.


I'll be seeing what the next few days bring. Send good vibes.
