That’s a typical school counselor, thinking that everyone has all the free time that they do.

The police can do that, and we were unfortunately a front row observer, and get the person in for a 72 hour observation and evaluation.

I saw Star Wars in the summer of 1977 in a drive in theater. I didn’t see it in a indoor theater until 1999 with the release of the special editions.

Our Husky is really pretty quiet, she’s more about whacking you with her paw to get attention. It’s not a small paw. She’s currently sitting in the backyard and licking the snow.

Oh lord the amount of hair that thing will produce as an adult. :Leyla:

The oddness that is Texas snow.

Nah, the dog is just “Don’t show this to my friends, they’re anti-cat.”
