To give them a designated spot to stay in so they're not wandering around bothering people waiting to collect their bags from baggage claim. It limits disruptive and frankly antisocial behavior.

The U.S. Supreme Court determined that airports could not be considered a public forum to practice free speech. According to the ruling, airports exist solely for air travel and not for free expression.

Prior to the court’s decision, the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, a not-for-profit religious corporation, would often practice going into public places to distribute literature and asking for donations to support their religion.

Since 1992, airports across the country have adopted regulations governing speech, such as Lambert’s “Free Speech” booths.

Think of calories as energy stored. That drink has carbs in it. 1g of carb is approximately 4 calories. Liquid calories are much easier for your body to absorb than solid calories. Can't pee anything out until it gets processed.

Just a thought but there are plenty of shops on Etsy that do custom embroidered patches. Or see if your local library has an embroidery machine.

Mainly VFFVX, which is up 4.46% over a 3 year period, but I have about 20% in various other funds.

I'm in a Vanguard target fund and I'm up 7.8% over the same period. There was a lot of red until December 2023, when it broke even. All gains are pretty much from this year looking at my returns chart.

I understand. Maybe see if your insurance can help connect you to resources that can help you navigate this situation. You can't be the only person who's landlord said no.

Look at question 4 though.

If it's a service animal OP is getting, then the landlord cannot legally exclude it. However, therapy animals are specifically not service animals and are not covered by the ADA

Q3. Are emotional support, therapy, comfort, or companion animals considered service animals under the ADA?

A. No.  These terms are used to describe animals that provide comfort just by being with a person.  Because they have not been trained to perform a specific job or task, they do not qualify as service animals under the ADA.  However, some State or local governments have laws that allow people to take emotional support animals into public places.  You may check with your State and local government agencies to find out about these laws.

Use an extension cord rated for outdoor use. You can find them at any hardware store and they come in various lengths from 25' to 100' usually.

They're carpet beetle larvae. They eat natural fibers.
