I share your pain, bills this week have included new radiator for my Chrysler £300 (499.71 Australian dollars 460.59 US dollars ) more fecking pills for the dog £177 (271.75 US dollars 294.83 Australian dollars) potential speeding ticket (me) £65 add to that the £40 a week hydrotherapy sessions (dog) plus travel costs to hydrotherapy centre. Running total for dogs treatment over the past 8 months has now topped £9,000 (13,817.70 US dollars 14,991.30 Australian dollars) and still climbing. :roll: :o

Hydrotherapy:

Tie a rope around his neck and throw him in a pond.

Hydrotherapy...

That's 1 dog Tim *laffs* every penny of the money has been spent on just 1 dog - however most of it is the insurance companies money though admittedly we've born some of the "extra costs" ourselves (dog crate, baby gate, petrol, air bed, tempting food to build his weight back up, fast food for me to snatch something to eat whilst waiting around at the animal hospital for his dressings to be changed etc. increased insurance premiums etc etc) What does kick our arses a bit is that we have to pay up front then claim it back from the insurers this means that we run about £500 a month behind the expenditure I'm waiting now for a cheque for over £500 and whilst waiting have paid out a further £300 which I'll claim when (not if) it hits £500.

He's not gold plated but he was titanium plated for a while - until his immune system started to try and disolve the plate requiring a 2nd op to remove the flipping thing.

He is however worth every penny and every minute of what we have had to go through this past 8 months.

Or it might be something to do with vegemite... :D
I have no idea really. I'm open for suggestions.

I like it being run the way I thought the CSB was run. As in a Board for all and where member opinion on an issue of Board integrity counts.

I dunno how to put that into effect apart from just let it happen.

A bit like Vegemite, I guess.

Bah!

It seems wrong to go for a teeth cleaning and go directly for coneys after.

They are reactionary, but not complex thinkers. ;)
I performed a scientific test. I moved my finger ever so slowly towards a fly on the same side of the glass that I was on.


It flew away without a sense of air movement. Next time I see a fly, I will blow gently at it and see what happens.



It will probably follow me everywhere.

Oh so very true...our late cat Yuki was in regular communication with the mother ship, although we never knew about what!
