thanks for the support jan

Like when Gandalf spent literal PAGES trying to figure out why the vibes were off in Moria and Legolas chimes in with just "it's a balrog :) that shit's evil :) we're so fucked :)" like what do you MEAN you knew already and just didn't tell him??

Or at the beginning of Two Towers when Aragorn thinks there's something nearby so he puts his ear to the ground to listen, and then like 10 minutes later is like "hmmm i hear horses" and Legolas is just like "mm yep. there are 105 blond bitches with spears" like you just let your friend put his face in the dirt and you can SEE them??

gandalf is scratching his head in moria, and legolas is thinking "oh man, the wizard noticed something off *besides* the obvious balrog that we all are aware of??"

PLAYBOY: Do you ever get tired of talking about your friendship with Matt?

AFFLECK: I understand the questions. Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, they're friends, they're pals, they grew up together, isn't it great and cute? I get all kinds of questions, like, "So how's Matt?" or "What's Matt like?" And I don't know what sort of answers are expected.

Instead of saying Matt's fine and he's doing his thing, I'II be like, "Well, let me tell you about Matt. Matt can give a blow job in a way that's incredible, really special." Most of the time it's like Entertainment Tonight, and they can't air it. But then sometimes you think you're safe, but someone writes it down and it ends up being taken out of context in Out magazine.

PLAYBOY: Does Matt ever get pissed off about that?

AFFLECK: Matt gets it. We have a similar sense of humor, which I think is the main reason we're compatible as friends and in terms of writing. He always thinks it's funny. It's just a question of the rest of them.

PLAYBOY: Let's see if you've learned your lesson: What is Matt Damon really like?

AFFLECK: [Laughs] He gives a really great blow job.

The second reads

PLAYBOY: In his 1999 Playboy Interview, Affleck jokingly said of you, "He gives a really great blow job." Care to return the compliment?

DAMON: I do give great head. I definitely give a better blow job than Ben. I mean, I'm not lucky enough to be able to blow myself, but if I could, I'd never leave the house.

So, this is Opal and she's the light of my life. She's a nine-year-old English bull terrier mix, and I've had her since she was six months old. She loves to ride in the car, get pup cups, and snuggle on the couch with me. She loves her grandma and tolerates her human sibling. She loves meeting new people and small dogs. She loves when I play music in the house. If I'm at home, she's within five feet of me at most times. Currently, she's within touching distance.

Recently, we went to her annual vet check-up, and a couple of concerning things popped up on her blood work. Long story short, we're going to have to do some testing for her liver function (an abdominal ultrasound and a bile acids test), as well as some testing for her elevated creatine kinase, since right now there are no obvious reasons for her to have elevated creatine kinase (typically comes from muscle mass trauma, which Opal has not experienced).

This is going to be expensive! I'm supposed to receive a list of estimated prices for these procedures, but it's going to be expensive. Luckily, these tests don't have to be done all at once, so I can kind of triage what needs to be done and when, and it's also good because she isn't actively presenting as sick. It's still going to be expensive.

I would love to be able to offset the cost as much as I'm able, which is why I'm opening up tarot readings. I'm obviously not psychic, but there's something to be said for working through your questions with the help of familiar archetypes and cards.

If you'd like to donate to the cause but don't want a tarot reading, that's totally available as well. I'll stick them down at the bottom of the post (I have Paypal and Venmo). If you're interested in a tarot reading, please check out the information under the read more.

If you can't do either, no sweat -- but reblogging this post is also extremely appreciated!
