This is as stupid as anything I have read in a long time. REALLY, REALLY STUPID!!! There are some amazing men and women on this site. You can leave. It is not as if you would be missed.

@Gwendolyn2018 Senior Centers usually have classes & sometimes stores that sell sewingmachines/sewing supplies do too.

Churches have been very good at providing coats etc.

AnneWimsey comments on May 18, 2020:

Every senior center & most nursing homes, plus random stores, have donation boxes for clothing, food, even dog food....why would you think it is only churches?

AnneWimsey replies on May 19, 2020:

@DavidLaDeau I haven"t been in a church except for weddings & funerals in years. In my area, especially at Xmas,every place has donation boxes, overflowing. You talk like there are a finite supply of donation boxes from a single source?

AnneWimsey comments on May 18, 2020:

I have had 3 dogs have 4 knee replacements. It would be helpful if you stated which type they had. The older type graft of new cartilage onto the knee makes the dog retire to basically a couch potato forever. The TLPO returned all of my dogs to highest-level competition in Hunt Test & Field ...

AnneWimsey replies on May 19, 2020:

@MarkWD after viewing your video, there is a lot of twisting & turning...you know the other knee can fail as well. Maybe get them swimming (best) or controlled retrieving...one at a time? So there is more 'straight-line exertion?

She sounds lonely. If you know her interests maybe find some groups she could join? Maybe you are the only person she knows. Lions Club is good.

She's gorgeous! What's her name?

AnneWimsey replies on May 19, 2020:

She came with the name "Sloane"...I know, wth?! Now "Sassy" she never ever reponded to "Sloane"...... a Very intelligent girl, lol!

Anubis would be an awesome name for her!!

Went with "Sassy" before ever met her, it had the first letter of her supposed given name, "Sloane"...(I know, right?)

Questions about sexuality for older males: Do you sill feel the need as you get older?

AnneWimsey comments on May 18, 2020:

Trust me, there are plenty of older men with not only exciting needs but they also tend to be more knowledgeable .....why would you single out a group based on age?

AnneWimsey replies on May 19, 2020:

@Radu I used to date older men when i was younger! Duhhhhhh. What I meant by "knowledgable" is they know how to make sure a woman is happy in bed!

Lauren comments on May 18, 2020:

Truly majestic ears! She's a beauty, and seems so sweet. Is she cuddly yet?

AnneWimsey replies on May 18, 2020:

@Lauren when I picked her up, she had been on the transport van 3 days, with constant barking...I thought they had sent the wrong dog...tail tucked up so tight it couldn't be seen....then I had to pick her up into the car crate, she started shaking like a leaf. Drove home an hour, no radio, just a few remarks to them so she could hear my voice. I must admit I had worries! But she seems to be bold, deep down, just needs time.

Cyklone comments on May 18, 2020:

Be careful of using cleaners that contain ammonia with a new puppy. Ammonia is a component of urine and it can confuse the dog into thinking it is okay to urinate where you've just cleaned

AnneWimsey replies on May 18, 2020:

@burnhippiesfor I did not say that, but what the IRS will & will not allow is Very flexible & they reserve the Huge fines for people who actually cheat. This isn't that & to imply it is reveals IMO You have a rather nasty agenda.
