2022 LC Thread—New Year, New Thread

I don’t know where to put this, so I’ll just stick it here. How the hell does someone end up with this opinion about 2024?

Holy crap the mirrors everywhere in this house. You’d need a full time Windex person.

pretty sure I once had a nightmare set in this house

It would be fun to take my very stupid dog there and watch her bark at herself over and over again because she thinks her reflection is another dog. In her defense, she’s only had 10 years to figure out how mirrors work. Maybe next year.

You know the designer was walking through one of those hall of mirrors at the carnival and thought, “I want that.”

I feel like there has been exponential growth in the use of “way” as an adverb. These two examples are from just the past 12 hours in one thread.

No! This is bad! “Way” is not an adverb in formal or semi-formal speech! People over the age of 15 are not supposed to use language this way!

  • Yes, this is terrible and needs to stop immediately
  • It needs to stop and the culprits should be beaten

Grammar Putin needs to invade this thread on the pretext of grammar denazification.

But it makes your house look like it has infinite square footage.

Does it look like a police box on the outside?

A good New York Times piece about reading a poem

We have several police threads but whatever. Thread goes on a while, features dog.

My dog had a bad seizure yesterday and was having a lot of trouble breathing. The breathing is a lot better now, but she won’t move and is just laying there. she drank a lot of water but hasn’t urinated. My friend whos a vet tech for 6 years says this is almost certainly the end.

All the vet places are closed Sunday besides emergency ones and they have 8 hour + waitlist and I just found out you have to wait there in your car. She absolutely hates car rides and waiting in the car so I might hold of until for my normal vet since she doesn’t seem to be in pain/suffering/struggling to breathe. Hopefully they will see her one short notice due to the circumstances.

I don’t know what to do. Been my dog for 15 years and I got her when she was 3. I knew this was coming, but it’s so hard. Been crying a lot. Weird how much you can love an animal.

Just laying with her for now.

I’m so sorry. It’s so hard. If you know it’s the end, there are care providers that will come to your home so you don’t have to drag her into the vet.
