Why worry when Phoebe will protect you from all evil intruders.
I’d feel safer pulling the covers over me and hiding under the blankets!
I made the mistake of watching the Exorcist and Omen on the same night on Halloween when my son was a baby. After that I was afraid to go check in on him at night. I had to bring a golf club with me when I did. Now I'm like you. Save me a spot under the blankets. Wait a minute that doesn't sound right.

When I was 18, I drank myself into the hospital. Drank from 12-12 and mostly liquor. They say a .4 BAC is death so I guess I’m legally dead now; but they forgot to tell me so I’m on borrowed time, I guess. And I was back in the bar that weekend. Rehab being for quitters and all. Back in the day, I could easily make the character played by Nicolas Cage from Leaving Las Vegas look like an amateur.
I barely touch it now. You’re welcome, world. 😂

I didn’t go away for the cure. I just got tired of living out a Eugene O’Neill play and being big and fat. People that knew me in my hey day ask me if I’m sick now because I’m back to my proper fighting weight. I was Butterbeanish for a good while.
And having kids definitely helped me clean up my act. 🥰

I’m going to give you guys an open invitation to make fun of me here, me and my girlfriend own a “Purse Dog” my buddies rag on me all the time, telling me I got a dog for a cat. Meet Phoebe lol.
Your pup is a cutie and looks almost identical to our "Tiny":
My wife and I went to a Spokane Indians game a few years ago. Normal thing, us having season tickets and all. Anyway, it was "Bark in the Park" night. We didn't bring our lab with us as they make you sit in the bleachers and we prefer our regular seats. The wife gets up and walks around. And there's a rescue place there with animals to adopt. Annnnnnnd they had a Yorkie. Wife comes to me and tells me they have a Yorkie and he's oh so cute and blah blah blah. I put my foot down and insisted one dog was plenty for us.
Needless to say, we adopted a Yorkie that night.
He was roughly 7-8 years old and had been abused and mistreated. They had to pull all his teeth before we could take him home as they were all rotted. AND they broke his jaw doing it. But that dude was tough as nails. He showed no ill effects from any of it other than having a sort of smirk on his face all the time.
GREAT dog. Friendly and loving and playful. Loved to snuggle and cuddle.
We ended up having him for about 2 years before we had to put him down. So glad my wife found him and we adopted him.
i'm deathly afraid of heights. years ago i worked at the top of a 64-story tower and i would never sniff the windows. someone would have been tagged with projectile vomit if i had.
conversely, i'm a fish. toss me into an ocean and tell me there are sharks circling underneath and i'd be at ease. used to be able to hold my breath underwater for almost 5 minutes.

Best to get the crazy stuff out of you when your young. I had a very bad gambling habit in the early 90’s, rang up over 40K in debt, anxiety attacks from the stress I didn’t realize I was under from the gambling and went bankrupt at 27. A year later I got my job at the Sheriffs Department and straightened my act out. I do gamble now but it’s honestly for fun and I set strict limits, I been good since 1997

Uhhk that is so sad but happy to hear you guys brought him family love for sure..Our dog is a “ Teacup Morkie” a mixed breed of Yorkie and Maltese. My Girl and her kids wanted a dog and I said no because everyone will give the puppy attention and take care of it until it grows up and I would be left to walk it ect.. ect.. so after TONS of full court pressure I folded with an exeption, it had to be a purse dog that will remain a “Puppy” lol. So after a long search and a 3 hour drive deep into New Hampshire we bought her and she is loved and given attention from the entire family.
Wow! I'm loving this thread. To be honest, I think it's because we spend time here talking about "sports", but not usually ourselves, if that makes sense... I went through it and enjoyed everything. At first, as suggested in the OP, I figured it would be just one thing each... But then, like @Justacommeman said, you guys started copy and pasting your profiles, now this thread is ROCKIN .I'm impressed. Good job @Goldenage
So let me contribute.
I was born and raised in Massachusetts. Moved to New York City in 1999 at age 23 to live with two friends in a loft in Brooklyn with dreams of being a musician/writer/poet. 🤔 Not much later , met the woman I would marry. She is from Brazil and had been in America for about a year. We had our first son. I worked driving a truck and delivering/ installing furniture in NYC. In 2006, we decided we wanted to move, buy a house. Couldn't afford to buy in Massachusetts where my family is. We did some research, and decided on Dallas/Fort Worth area. Been in Tx since 2006.
We lost one of our dogs in the Spring. Our Bullmastiff was depressed and then River came along
He's done two photo shoots so far and a Wine Enthusiast blog
Cam and River are best buds. They play all day and sleep all night
River spoke his first words the other day . "I'm the Devil and I'm here to do the devils business"
Walker Proof Digital Album Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
You know, I love to wear shorts, even in the winter. It all started back in high school, I was the only one in the whole school wearing shorts, it's like 20 degrees outside, everyone's looking at me like I'm nuts. My legs just don't get cold for some reason.
I used to raise Chickens then the vet bills piled up cause I didn't realize they could catch every disease in the book so I took them to my Avian vet to be "CURED"! Well, he told me ducks are very disease resistance so I went with Runner ducks cause I thought they were so funny looking and don't fly - so watching runner ducks is kinda funny and relaxes my Hungarian temper, and they say Runners "won't become real pets" as they don't bond to humans? - Must be my wife they like, cause I can only get to within feeding distance, not holding distance like she is able to do - LOL!!
These 2 ducklings...............
Became these 2 ducks.......... they loved their Momma -
And the others I can hand feed.........

I'm the same way. Started in college where our dorm room was really hot and I got tired of changing every time I went to class.
Two years ago, I shoveled my sidewalk after we got a good 6" of snow - in shorts, sandals, and a t-shirt.

What is a little quirky thing that makes you the individual that you are.
For example, I really don’t like the numbers 6 and 2. Whenever I see my online banking I will transfer funds from account to account just so that those two numbers disappear from my balance.
I also have a quirky number thing going. I am not superstitious about the number 13 itself but its when a number comes up that adds up to 13, for example if my trucks mileage is 24,150.1 when I come home I will drive back down the block a few houses to get that .1 out of there to .2 and make it 14 in the process!
You're weird. Just kidding.
During the work day I try not to check the time on my phone when it is 8:13, 9:13, 10:13 etc.
If I do it means the work day will be slow and grueling because I jinxed it.
So checked my phone for the time at work this morning.......... 8:13
Ended up working 12 hours and 45 minutes on our warmest day of the year so far, was thirsty all day.
I have to stop checking the time completely!
I have a very high tolerance to pain. This was discovered when I was about seven. My cousin and I were playing Star Wars. Having a light sabers fight. He knocked my front tooth partially out. It was my adult tooth. It was a Sunday night. The next day I went to school, and my mother picked me up at some point and brought me to the dentist. The dentist told my mother that, based on how my tooth broke and what was happening in my mouth, I should have been in a lot of pain. But I was not. He advised her to watch out for future injuries because I might not feel them. LOL
Anyway, I never thought much about this. But as I got older I did notice that my pain threshold seemed to be higher than normal. I did a lot of physical labor up until my early thirties, and definitely did some damage to my body. I have arthritis in my hips, knees, and spine. Some vertebrae issues. And I think now that I have worked through a lot of injuries, while really not noticing them, thus bringing about some of these problems.
I also notice sometimes I can get cut and not know that it happened. Things like that. Maybe what I am describing is not out of the norm...
