What won't he be eating? He's already had roast beef, some tuna, some of the milk I was drinking, 2 cans of cat food and it's not even dinner time.
He's been eyeing a Love bracelet and Jinjy hasn't been guarding the iPad. I smell trouble.

Go Winky, go Winky!
Mindi, yea, that's not the type of phone call you want to get the day before surgery. As if one is not nervous enough about surgery.

Mindi, don't let them near any vital organs. (Kidding - thinking of the kidney transplant that was given to the wrong patient last week.)
I'm sure it will go well!
And yay to all the good animal health news ... now we humans just need to catch up!

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so happy for you and Winky
Hi everyone, hope you all are keeping well. Sorry I have been fairly absent from chat recently - things have been pretty busy here.
On other fronts, the snow finally came. I was snowed in until mid-day when the plows made it through. It was an unexpected, cozy morning. After getting stuck in the street, I marched in and turned on the fireplace.
Vibes to the BBL household and Mindi. Cheers for Winky!

Oh, yeah! You are so screwed! Sorry, sweetie.
To the tune of how much? Any idea?

Depends on how much it was declared. Go to the government customs site. I think you can put in what you bought, how much you paid, and they'll tell you what percentage you owe.
Actually, while it's a bummer, 10% doesn't totally scare me. Bums me out, but doesn't scare me. I'm no pro at shipping anything of high value, much less internationally, so I'll learn from it. I think I'll also get stuck with an $80 fee from UPS. So, maybe $250 in total. It's the over $300 range that would really be a drag.
Whenever I get stuck with stupidity fees (could have been avoided had I been smarter or more informed), I play a game with myself to try and earn it back. Save on other things (lunches out, coffee) until I have "saved" what I got charged with. Silly, huh?
I've now learned to never, ever ship internationally with UPS.
Ck, I always use FedEx for international, and haven't been hit with any fees, customs or otherwise. It's probably just luck, though.
And, you're not being silly, at all! I think making up for fees in other ways is makes perfect economical sense. You're a sistah after my own heart!

ck, I brought a brand new Lindy back into DC a few years back. Customs took a mere $100 from me. I took that as a good thing. I was honest. I have declared many times more and left with a "wham, bam, thank you for being honest, ma'am and have a nice day!" Karma is good. To this day, I don't know how much that bag really cost. I don't even have it any more!
Do you ever have days when you just can't spell with a darn??? I'm having one of those today.
Little known fact. I love spelling. I love to watch the ESPN spelling bee--not just the final round, the whole darn thing.
I won my 5th grade spelling bee, but lost at the district level. Still remember the losing word. Porridge. I'll never spell it wrong again.
