The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day.
A luxury sports car can certainly macerate your bank account...
No, I brush him out a few times each week. He has been cut back to 2/3 of his diet and has steadily lost about 1.5 lbs/month. I got the estimate for his treatment and will need to work quite a few extra shifts.
I realize I’m a complete and unrepentant rebel, but I do not want a company I work for having a vested interest in any aspect of my personal life, period-pay me for my work, and my life outside work is none of your business-it is one big reason I work for myself.
If I hadn’t had my own insurance, I still probably would have refused it at work just the same, and chanced paying cash-the only time I had insurance at work was when I worked for the state, just out of college.
And you are totally right-my interest in the health of some unrelated person is about zero-and I don’t want to be part of a huge risk pool of the unwashed masses-it does not make sense at the best of times. But the idiot in chief didn’t do himself any favors by helping the Sharptons and Jacksons create suspicion and resentment between ethnic and racial groups when his grand legacy program is already a grand failure set to sink any legacy he had...
A+++ for your Macerati
He would only be vulnerable to blackmail if he had any sense of shame or remorse. He has demonstrated he has neither.
I’m curious-why does the dog have to lose weight to get treatment-was he overweight?
We have two of those here in town. The sounds of those engines purring is very distinctive and can give me whiplash.
That is certainly true-but he was disgraced into resigning already once-remember the video with the people cheering when he announced it? I think he’d pay big bucks or big favors not to have that happen again if he were the mayor of NYC...
I think she wants to buy a smaller dose for a smaller dog.
When we adopted him from the shelter, he was pretty skinny with a dull coat, 59 lbs soaking wet. Within 9 months, he was up to 75 lbs, shiny, fluffy, and probably 3-4 lbs overweight. The medication(arsenic, imported from overseas) to treat him is very expensive and based on his weight. If I can get him to a certain weight, we won’t need the 3 extra vials. It costs over $150 per vial.
Exactly.
Hijo de la chingada-just when you thought it no one could be that dumb-I had to send the dildo extinction to my compadre, and I hope he laughs as hard as I did...
Ouch! You could damn near send him to M.D. Anderson for that much money...
