@aggievethopeful2021 Good that you have an appointment scheduled 🙂 If it makes you feel better, we see a lot of heart murmur dogs and even if they start having clinical signs, there’s still a lot available to you to help her continue to live a long and happy life.

I just wanted to read a trashy romance novel that would make my heart flutter this fine Saturday. But noooooooooo.

Now I'm all riled up about how the guy kissing the girl without her consent isn't sexy. The best friend of the guy groped the main girl and then later in the book they're all buddies. That's all fine and good? Just..... ERG!!!

i'm sorry i just wanted to get some happy reading in today and i'm SO DISAPPOINTED

healthy consensual relationships aren't dramatic enough for a good plot~

Nicholas Sparks never disappoints.

I've read very few romance books and this is why.

Besides Nicholas Sparks, anyone have some recs?

My sister used to go to the store and buy the most poorly written ones she could find and then read them out loud to me at home. My favorites are a toss up between

Spoiler

a very graphic caulking scene while a guy was tied to a regular chair that was in a shower on a cruise boat for some reason and the one about a time traveling prostitute who did a 360 spin on a guy's caulking gun.

My mind is trying to comprehend that last scenario and I just cannot.

This thriller I read about a girl with amnesia actually has a really good romantic subplot. Never Look Back by Jennifer L. Armentrout.

Also there's a trilogy by Jenny Han that I read a couple years ago and enjoyed. The Summer I Turned Pretty is the first one. Good if you don't mind love triangles.

 

[WildZoo]

I've seen that recommended by Cosmo. Sounds like a recipe for a broken caulk gun.

The Hating Game by Sally Thorne

Premise is an office romance where they start out loathing each other. It’s fun, light-hearted, and hilarious. I. Freaking. Love. It. I’ve re-read it like 3 times now.

Also Hopeless by Colleen Hoover. It’s another favorite of mine. It Ends With Us is also good by her but it will break your heart.

I have other recs if anyone wants me to list them out.

The second one sounds like it was from Crazy Eyes' novel in OITNB

Don’t worry, you can get a new one from Home Depot for under $3. And it meets egg’s requirements. 9 in long.

Wow, and here I was thinking people had to spend thousands at a doctor's office for that kind of permanent drip protection.

Allow me:

HDX 9 in. Caulk Gun with a thrust ratio of 6:1. The gun has a spout cutter and seal punch. It uses 10 oz. Tubes. It is Drip Free and also has ladder hook.

Also I’m tagging @SARdoghandler because she angrily/ violently doesn’t understand caulk talk (or spackle)

I read The Hating Game on my day off this week! I loved it. 😀 I'm going to make my sister read it and I'm so excited.

This one has a rotatable barrel. That’s probably how you do a 360.

TBF, I believe you thought that was average and caulking guns could be much longer commonly 😉

Can't handle the caulk?

I've never used one to date, but I'm still getting weird feels.

Ah, but have you tried to spackle?

Yes... Except I don't even know if you mean spackling anymore.

Whatever else could I mean?

Filling holes

Can't just leave those holes unsatisfied unfilled.

I am inexperienced in spackling and caulking and shall be heading to bed like the wholesome person I am.

I have read Hopeless. I don’t remember much about it but I am pretty sure I liked it?

Edit: Went to reread the cover and now I remember it better.

So far so good on this one lol

Here, let me remind you:

What the **** is spackle? I feel like this is a Murica only question cause you guys call things weird. We use caulk to fill watertight seals on things like tubs and sinks where they meet the wall here and i dont know what the heck ya'll think a product with a name like spackle is gonna do to help you out.

@SARdoghandler
Spackle is similar but used to fill holes in dry wall like from screws and nails before sanding and painting.

Yes, but in parts of Canada we use the term plaster as a catch all for wall repair products like that - much in the same way spackle went from a brand to generic term as described in Ski's screenshot
