Look for discount codes. I used NPR20 and got $20 off
Code worked, but I couldn’t check out.
It acknowledged postal code, but wouldn’t let me access the alpha-numeric keyboard.

Also, it wouldn’t let me link to my PayPal, which is how I usually bypass all the address carp.

I’ll try again tomorrow from my desktop at work. I thought it would be nice to get one for the boys too.

Here’s what the other side looks like. We got the Mickey, but Minnie got lost along the way. They are supposed to ship out another one... It’s really pretty and the whole bottom section lights up...

Well, they aren't Mickey and Minnie, but I made some Christmas tree ornaments for a friend. She wanted a fantasy themed tree....faeries, dragons, mermaids, etc, but was having troubles finding ornaments. So I made some that I think look fantasy-ish, and she can use them outside of Christmas and just hang them from a door handle or whatever.

My daughter made a bracelet and earring set for another friend who saw the ones we made a couple of weeks ago and loved them, so we made some for her in pink. (ours are blue)

That’s probably why Ample Hills went out of business.
Hasn't seemed to hurt Ben and Jerry's and I remember when they gave out samples by the cartload. They still do in the factory, but back when I was in advertising Ben used to be there in the retail grocers vendors display area of the local conventions scooping out samples all day long.

I loved that tour, up in their Vermont facility! Ages ago, I went on it. I think the guide was a local college student, and she had great enthusiasm for the company. We all got a free cup of freshly made ice cream at the end -- YUM CITY!! :hungry:

There was a Ben and Jerry's store in Fort Collins for a while and we went there a couple of times. I don't remember if we got free samples or not, but we already had our favorites anyway. I loved Cherry Garcia, Chubby Hubby, and New York Fudge Brownie. Cookie Dough is also always a good option. I wish they sold Minter Wonderland here...there is no mint ice cream over here in grocery stores. There's one Italian gelato place that has it, but it's only open in the Summer, and it's not something I can get regularly. I guess Dutch people are not big on the chocolate Mint combination...they got rid of the Mint Oreos. I was so excited when they started getting oreos here, and especially the mint ones! But now they have brownie ones and happy birthday ones and I want to say strawberry cheesecake ones, but they got rid of the mint ones.

My favorite Ben & Jerry's ice cream is Chunky Monkey! (Bananna ice cream with chocolate chunks) :hungry: (Sounds hideous, but it's freaking delicious!!!)

Medical appts. during covid are odd, in that waiting rooms are closed; you wait in your car for a text to enter.

Now, if you happen to be a dog going to see the vet, the procedure is a bit different (apparently, because dogs don't have phone and can't get a text to come in). :p

Yesterday, hubs took Jack to the vet for his yearly check-up. From the outside door, he rang the intercom, and a tech answered. Hubs was not allowed inside at all.

Instead, the tech put a muzzle in a box that opened out of the front door. Hubs put it on Jack. Then the tech told him to tie the leash to the railing, and go wait in his car, so that the tech could come out and bring the dog inside. (Hubs was not pleased, as he likes to be there with Jack, and also talk directly to the vet.) Not to mention, Jack is prescribed pills to take to calm him, before any vet visit. But we swear he's high as a kite when he takes one of those, and acts even more like a lunatic, by the time he gets there! :hilarious:

When appt. was done, the vet called him on the phone, and explained the details of the visit. (Jack has a few issues, common in older dogs.) Then, the tech asked for the credit card #, and told him to wait in car until he came out and leased up Jack to the railing. (And oh, an envelope was attached to the leash with a statement for exam/bloodwork, vaccine, meds, etc., for $660.13.) :in pain: It's 2020.

That's a really popular one over here....banana ice cream is a "thing" here...McDonalds gets rid of their chocolate shakes in the Summer to make room for a fruity flavor. I hate it because the chocolate is the one kind I like, but they keep the banana and get rid of the chocolate. I also hate it that they are all in the same machine, and 9 times out of 10, the person before me ordered banana, so then the first bit of shake that was still in the spout is banana, so I get banana before I get chocolate...I don't like banana ice cream.

Our vet does curbside or car window pickup.

You call when you get there to let them know you have arrived. You get a call a few minutes later and they ask for the colour and make of your car, and tell you that (insert name of tech) will be right out, and then they come do the car window for Daisy and take her through the window because she’s so little.

The big dogs have to go to the roped off front porch. One at a time, of course. Everybody wearing masks.

You then get a call from the vet when everything is done, and the tech reluctantly brings Daisy back to the car. (They’re always threatening to keep her.) I’m on an annual wellness plan, so I almost never have to pay anything, but if I do, they just get the credit card authorization over the phone.

I love it. Going to the vet is so stressful ... mostly for me, because of my insane large-dog phobia. I hope they keep this process forever!

I didn't realize you had a large-dog phobia...I thought you loved all canines. Have you always had small dogs, then?

Yup. Holly was a 7-8 lb cocka-poo, and Daisy is our second Shih-tzu.

We transferred out of POR a few years ago because it became one of the pet-friendly resorts.

For some reason, I’m not terrified of poodles (even standard size) or anything crossed with a poodle like a Golden-doodle. 🤷🏼‍♀️

She’s full grown now.
