Well a few days ago we had a problem with our plumbing and it led me to think about what everyone on Sdreefs does for a living.


I thought it would be a good idea to know incase anyone needed sidework and or references

Im sure we would have saved a ton of money if i knew someone on here was a plumber.

Bogg,

I have seen many clients deduct their Dog food for tax purposes because they do own a "guard-dog". You would need to be self-employed or own a business however..Deducting the dog him/herself is a risky proposition in my humble opinion..

Not even a $5 frag? =)

Justin- you are best to just flush it out real well. You should be fairly healed by now if this occurred two days ago. We can get you an antibiotics if you still have symptoms.

PM me with any affirmatives.

Your cornea has more nerve endings than any other part of your body BAR NONE. So, it lets you know when it's not happy. But it also very heals fast.
