Hugs, Tybee. Sorry about the downed tree. I hope things start working out better very quickly.

Thank you, happystuff, that really helps, I appreciate it!
So sorry, Tybee - about the tree, and the DH kerfuffle - I know my DH does not handle stress well and comes at problems in ways that seem (ok, they usually ARE ) insane to me. It's hard and I hope it gets better quickly!! Maybe you could find someone who wants the wood to clear the tree? If he doesn't have to cut/stack it, maybe he won't care so much about saving it? I don't know. But regardless, thinking of you today and hoping things resolve quickly, and well!!
Thank you so much, earlymorning. I loved what you said here, "I know my DH does not handle stress well and comes at problems in ways that seem (ok, they usually ARE) insane to me." I so relate.Originally Posted by early morning
We are on hold with insurance now--that is a good idea about someone clearing the tree in exchange for the wood; it's already down, or at least two giant limbs--I guess it lost two out of three giant limbs, and one took out part of roof of pole barn (shed) and one took out gable, siding, and fence.
Yikes, that’s a lot of damage-by-tree!
So sorry about the tree damage.
Ranting at myself for being stupid. Amy had a big mat in her ear so I thought I would cut it out versus brushing it. I should have put my finger between the ear and hair. I ended up cutting her ear. Max jumped off my lap and started shaking. Amy was chill and just laid down. I had to apply pressure to get it to stop bleeding. Ugh!
So sorry that you are dealing with so many stresses at one time, Tybee.
I just drove through a massive thunderstorm. At one point, I just took a 15 minute time out in an empty restaurant parking lot as the heavy rain was to the point of intensity that I could not see the tail lights of cars in front of me. Having the alarm signal on my phone warning twice of high risk of a tornado didn't help either.

Semi-rant.
I just bought a wireless router; ours is ten years old and even just the two of us streaming stuff seems to bog it down eventually. The deed is done; the router is in the house. So why is the Internet showing me ads for routers, particularly the very one I bought from the very place I bought it? What a waste of advertising dollars. FWP for sure but it's 2020; the ability of marketers to realize that routers (and automobile tires; another purchase that got the same treatment) are not an everyday (or even everyyear) gimme-a-deal-I-can't-refuse-and-sure-I'll-buy-another-one-now purchase should be far better than this.
Just more proof to me that our robot overlords will not be invincible.
Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome. - Booker T. Washington
Steve, I have had exactly that same rant. The big ticket item I look at on the Internet has been purchased. So they continue to show me ads for that big ticket item.
When advertising truly becomes customized to me in a granular way, I will not resent it. But right now I resent the stupidity of the crap they show me
