OT Deep Space Waste 9

Luckily I have a matress protector sheet thing under my normal sheets, so the matress didn't get any pee soaked into it

[goIftdibrad]

Got home from work yesterday and Ava had gone through the trash, chewed up the little plate that screws into my camera to attach it to a tripod, and chewed three different pairs of shoes.. I was pissed. She's been so good lately, so I had no idea why she acted out like that. Finally went to get into bed last night and moved a pillow and saw that she'd pissed in the bed too. So now I think that she was just acting out cause she was anxious about how bad she had to pee. Way less mad at her now, but still mildly annoyed since I took her out to use the bathroom again yesterday right before I left for work and she was more interested in sniffing around at stuff and wouldn't go at all.

Took her out three times this morning before I left and she went all three times, so hopefully today is better for her and she's more comfortable.

dang that sucks mang.

It was super frustrating. Got super mad at her, then when I was trying lift later I felt like shit about that, and then when I got in bed and found the piss, I felt even worse, since I really think she was doing everything because she had to pee so bad.

Made sure to get them over to the park for an hour last night, and take them on a quick walk this morning. Hopefully she has a better day today.

I think I could be productive in a 15-20 hour work week. But after that im on amazon, forums, or youtube.

I do about 3 hours of work a day. But make a handful of very high dollar decisions weekly.

Sounds exactly like me. Except some days I do well less than 3 hours of work.

Sooo... I'm considering getting instagram.

@wap, where do you book your travel? We're going to Frankfurt in December, and we spent a LOT more to get there without hotels included.

but still curious. We want to do more euro travel, but can only do so realistically if we keep the price down.

@Detroit,

I found this deal on Travelocity. Almost booked a trip to Prague for a bit cheaper but found out at the last minute that a museum that we didn't get to see the last time we were there is closed for renovation for another year and Berlin was sort of in the back of our minds so I checked it out, did some research on the hotels offered, and found the deal I mentioned last night. Adding another night would have been another ~$150 or so, FYI. Traveling in the off season is really key to finding deals.

Is it more spendy to fly out of Detroit than O'Hare?

That is one thing you have going for you, O'Hare has a ton of international flights, that probably helps with cost, especially in the off-season.

Charlotte has nonstop flights to eight or so European cities, but they tend to be expensive.

Detroit can be WAY more than O'Hare. We could fly out of O'Hare, but then you have to add the cost of parking, gas, and possibly lodging. The last thing I want to do after landing from an 11 hour flight is drive 4 hours in the car, so the cost savings is much less.

We'll need to check Travelocity and other sites. Infamous was tracking prices and went full when she saw them going up. She pulled the trigger on round trip from Detroit to Frankfurt on Delta in Comfort+ for $2,200. I felt we could have done better, but she was worried it was going to get worse or flights/hotels would book up.

I want to do better for our next trip. We want to do the once a year to europe plan as well.

My dog had explosive diarrhea that got all over the walls and carpet again. Two days in a row. It's hard to not get mad in a situation like that, but she looked super pathetic and had tried to cover it up and all (thankfully she was in the crate when this happened).

It's been a while since she destroyed something. I guess the last thing she destroyed was the dishwasher and about 5 plates/bowls lol when her collar got stuck on the rack and she panicked. Now she's scared shitless of the dishwasher and runs away and hides when we open it.

Sounds like Ava's chewing was because she was stressed that she peed where she wasn't supposed to and knew it and that got her nervous. Some dogs bite their legs and stuff when that happens. My dog sulks and gets mopey. lol.

I've not been to Germany in the summer and still won't as we're going in November.
Isn't Constantinople balls hot in the summer like Athens?

It is, but not as humid as the mid-atlantic summers. Some nights, by the seaside, it does get little chilly enough to wear 2 layers.

I have been to Germany during summer as layover, it's definitely not not enough to wear one layer

Oh yea, your'e right. The humidity over there is much less than DC area in the summer, for sure.

1 Euro trip/year. The cruise was mom spending our inheritance. She is 86 and wanted to take her kids/grandkids on a (possibly last) trip. It cost us $50 I think because we bought an internet package and didn't expect mom to pay for that.

The road trip was a 3 day weekend (2 nights in hotels) that cost <$400 all in. We're taking a longer road trip later this summer but that should come in way less than $1500 all in. Then Germany in the fall.

So you're at around $5k for the year (like I guessed) plus a free cruise, no?

Oh, for the whole year, yes. I thought you meant just for this one trip.

[troyguitar]

Annual budgets. Your property tax plus travel budget could cover our house+tax+insurance AND our 3 cars.

Our rabbit peed on our bed once. We were all just sitting on the bed watching TV (he liked to watch TV with us) and out of the blue he just 'd out and starts to piss. We threw him off the bed and were racing to peel off the comforter, blanket, sheet, and fitted sheet before it soaked through to the mattress. We managed to get all the bedding off before it made it to the mattress. This was on a Sunday night. We ended up having to do laundry at 11:00 on a Sunday night. It earned him 2 days in jail, meaning we locked him in his cage for 48 hours to reinforce that his litter box, which is in his cage, is the only place he gets to pee and

For sure. Chicago and especially NYC generally have the best fares to Europe. I would imagine that LA has the best flights to the Far East but I never checked.

Yea there's really no good way to use O'Hare for you without it getting spendy. Funny thing, I checked Travelocity, Orbitz, and Expedia, and they gave exactly the same flight options, hotel options, and prices. The 3 sites even visually looked identical and had the same format and interface. It's like they're all the same company, and maye they are. Ended up using Travelocity because I already have an account with them.

I imagine you require Comfort+ because of your giant status? So you'll always pay more for that, too.

on the annual Europe thing. It's awesome. Once you get on some travel websites mailing lists, you'll see even more deals. Travelzoo is a good site to get on their list, as is Gate 1 Travel.

If you want, I can post here when Mrs or I spot decent deals, in case you're interested.

Ava tried to cover it too. That's why I didn't see it at first. She moved a pillow on top of the puddle Smart pupper.

I'd like to get one of those pet monitor things where you can see them and it has a little screen where they could see you. Even just to check in on her a few times a day while I'm at work so she can hear my voice.

I didn't want the damned comfort +. This is Infamous' first international flight, and she demanded it. I'm so big (tall) that flying is miserable for me no matter the seat size. I doubt comfort + will make any difference, and I agreed to prove this to infamous so I can from here on out.

Good to know about the travel sites. We'll need to keep an eye out. Maybe we should make a travel deals thread in the travel section...

$1,100 for Comfort+ to Europe is honestly better than average I think

At least you can get for no additional charge. Europe from Charlotte is $1k plus for coach any time I check.
