I feel for you.. When you're at one you feel guilty for not being at the other and you constantly feel like you're failing at both. Everyone told me to make time for myself and i didn't even know what that meant. Try not to let the frustration and guilt get to you. Sleep when you can.

Mine eventually (after years) faded into the background and now it only really bothers me if I'm in a quiet place.

He grew up in a military family. You did what you were told and didn't question.

Oh yeah, he's a door holder, grocery carrier.

It said 6 weeks, but mine arrived in 12 days!

ETA- they only take a certain number per day and that number resets at noon Eastern time (I think it's noon, but it might be 11:00 or 1:00. I can't remember.) so if you check right after that you'll likely get in.

Mutts rule! I'm not all in on the 'get a breeder dog and mix it with a breeder doodle to make a breeder something doodle'.

Bit of both I'm sure.

Ask for help. I have a sketchy knee that gives out sometimes and i need to have one hand on the stair rail just in case. If I'm carrying something that requires two hands at work, I have no problem asking someone to grab the other side of it on the stairs. My husband would not ask for help unless it was something really heavy. He would put himself at risk to avoid admitting he needed help - it'll be fine. Well sure, it's always fine, until it's not.

I firmly support the golden retrievers, as long as they keep out the doodles.

Friends are getting a southern California beach house for a week in October and invited us. Looking forward to a few days of fun, laughter, and not thinking about work.

Left a school building (mostly offices with a few kids sometimes) during a lockdown to meet her little kids at home for school bus dropoff - other family and friends were unavailable. The official notice was just NOT A DRILL, but outside source said it was due to shots fired in the neighborhood. I think she made the right decision (look around, open door, close door, walk to car) but I'm sure she'll get a beatdown at our next staff meeting. Wondered what others thought.

Rarely. When i do, i crop my name. I almost made a post about something that happened to a friend today, but changed my mind because i assume her husband is here.

Edit-typos

 

If you use "they" to describe a nameless group of people and you mean anyone other than The Man (That's how they get you.), you're probably the one who's wrong.

Looking forward to reading some fun exceptions.

 

I'm not great at determining when something is AI. Is there an app or community for asking if an image is real or AI?

 

When i was young I thought my mom's colorful decor was ridiculous. Now I'm old and my kids think I'm ridiculous for wanting colorful everything. Is that a thing?

 

I know people will say anyone, but realistically, if you could hand pick our next President, who would you choose? Who do you think could win?

 

I popped into r/ today to read about furniture and now I'm feeling kinda dirty. Maybe i should donate to lemmy as penance.

 

Cleaning out my mom's house. I hate to trash things that may be useful to someone else and some of it's probably worth some $$. I've used Facebook marketplace a couple of times. I've heard of OfferUp and LetGo but haven't used them. Where will i get the best response and $? Should i just pile it all up and do an online estate sale instead? TIA. Also, if anyone has done this and has any general tips, please share.

 

My 10 year old pup is going blind. We've been in the same house for most of her life and she's doing ok, but I'm worried it's going to get more difficult for her. She's not the smartest, but she can sit, lie down, and shake on command. I've read several articles about scent training but would like to get tips from someone who has done it. I'm thinking of using 4 different scents for bed, toys, stairs, and food/water - i know she can smell the food, but i want to make sure she can find the water bowl when she's outside. Is that too many?

One article recommended marking a path on the floor/ground so she knows where there's a clear route. Another suggested marking furniture/obstacles so she knows where to avoid.

If you have any experience with this and can offer tips, i would appreciate it. Also, if you want to share any happy stories about your VI pets, i would love to hear them. It's heartbreaking to see her misjudge the doorway or bonk into things.

 

Have you ever been asked to participate in a political poll? Do you know of anyone who has?

 

Edit to clarify that by 'snuggle' i meant all pets, scritches, belly rube, squeezes, ass pats, questions about who's the goodest, nicknaming, etc.
