    Didn’t say whether it was available when you need it but that the costs of providing g things like healthcare aren’t born by employers.

    this probably better discussed in D&D.

    People who just answer or comment on the first question or comment in a text or email conversation.

    Conversely, learn how to use bullet points if you want to relay multiple points in a single communication.

    Me: Hey, checking in on the contract we talked about the other day. Let me know. Also, I banged your mom and wife in a three-way last night. It's cool, your wife was calling me some other dude's name, not yours, so we were both insulted, in a way.

    Response: It's in legal right now. Will reach out when it's done.

    Ok. I think your wife, the one with all the **** in her face? She mentioned Kevin.

    Looking forward to that contract.

    Right this minute it's the little terrier next door that has yapped at the fence ten feet away from me since the moment I stepped outside on my patio. The neighbor man sits out back yapping on his mobile phone or watching TV on his iPad for hours at times in the evening, and that dog yaps nonstop. It's annoying as hell when you just want to work in the garden or chill outside. I think I'll find a YouTube clip of a high pitched sound, link it to my speaker, turn it up and go inside for 20 minutes. I've listened to that dog for about that long, so I'll give him and his little yapper some annoyance back.

    Maybe you attract hawks to nest in your yard and the problem takes care of itself.

    Nah, I love dogs too much to wish it harm. It's just so dang annoying that the owner sits on his fat ass and lets that dog yaps forever!

    google "sonic stop dog barking device"

    The basic ones are cheap, so why not give it a shot?

    Oh believe me, I've googled all that stuff. It's just that all the gadgets I looked at had a lot of reviewers who said it didn't do a thing. I did buy a cheap dog whistle and it didn't work. I tried different dog whistles and frequencies on my speaker too, but the dog still yapped. So, I'm hesitant on buying one of those gadgets if the frequencies from my speaker didn't stop that yapper. I got pissed off when that lazy man would just sit out there on his iPad every night watching sports and doing nothing about his dog yapping at my fence line nonstop.

    So, I searched for a really loud and annoying high pitch frequency that changed to different pitches continuously, and I synched it to my outdoor Bluetooth speaker, cranked it up and went inside for 10 or 15 min just to annoy him back. I did it a few times, and he probably got the hint. But, it's still an ongoing annoyance. The bright side of the story is that things could be worse. They aren't druggies or violent natured people. They just like yap dogs. :eek:

    Right now it's mosquitoes. Even in Costa Rica I didn't get eaten alive like I do every day here.

    Why do they allow brush and trees to be planted so close to the curb right in the field of view for turning traffic?! So dangerous.
