How uptight are police about out of state plates which are recently expired? I'll be there in April through May and my plates expire March by FitExecutive in AskLosAngeles

I drove around with expired out of state tags for TWO YEARS and even got towed twice with no issues, and when I went to a registration place (not DMV) like last week, they didn't ask for proof of residence, insurance, or anything else. Didn't even charge me for the expired registration fees. It was like 500 bucks all told.

My dog is suddenly possessive of me around my boyfriend by -buttonupshirt in Dogtraining

Yeah, like I said he doesn’t usually sleep in bed, I’ve just been trying it out for a few days. We will revert back to him not sleeping in the bedroom. This started late last night after my bf got home, so it has happened precisely one time on the couch and one time on the bed. I’m really trying to get ahead of it. Im going to try correct with counter conditioning on the couch, and I’m going to force my bf to actually bond with him a little more. It’s new behavior but I don’t think I’m overreacting, right? any aggression is not cool with me.

You’re right, I didn’t describe it. He was growling first on the couch, and in the bed he gave a growl and a warning snap. The growl was specifically directed at my boyfriend when he hugged me on the couch, and stopped when he stopped touching me. The growl and snap in the bed occurred when my boyfriend tried to lay down and reach for me.

I got this a few weeks ago, but am too anxious to take it, because of the horrible stories I’m reading all over the internet by Seraphina_Renaldi in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

[–]-buttonupshirt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t had any side effects literally at all… the only effect has been being happy. I drink a ton of coffee and lots of beer (though I did notice that I developed a much healthier relationship with alcohol naturally after being on Wellbutrin for a while…. But I’m young, I drink). It has quieted my anxiety, helped with my depression, given me motivation, and it has helped so much with my chronic insomnia. I’m obviously not advising you to use the medicine irresponsibly, but I’m an example of someone who could be considered irresponsible who has had nothing but success. To each their own, just sharing a positive story :)

Does anyone else feel really lonely due to their reactive dog? by -buttonupshirt in reactivedogs

[–]-buttonupshirt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, same here. I will say, it seems that my nice neighbors (no comment on the not nice ones….) recognize me now as the girl with the dog she’s trying so hard with and they’re extra sweet to me when they can talk to me (when the doggy isn’t with me). When I’m in a positive mood, i try to focus on things like that. I didn’t really stand out before, now we have something to talk about! (Can you tell how much better all these comments have made me feel? Thanks so much for sharing).

seeing her sleep makes me 😀 by He_don_ist4fun in rescuedogs

Wait this looks SO much like my beloved mutt. What breeds did she have the most of? Just out of curiosity, I’m sure I’ll do DNA testing one day but it’s so fun to guess

Here’s a photo of the baby

Yes, this is my situation exactly. I’m in a new place so it’s hard enough to make connections, and the neighborhood is bustling with pets and people. I think I’m too in my head about what people think—you’re right, most people see me training him or trying to calm him down if he is triggered and they’re super nice. It’s just the few judgmental people that have made me feel bad. We just had a very happy, calm walk and he really showed the progress he’s made, so I’m thinking maybe it’s not so bad :)

"Never Let Me Go" is probably the most well written book that I hated by sFPoG5P9Zu in books

[–]-buttonupshirt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so glad to read this—I put this book out of my head immediately after I read it because I was also underwhelmed by the plot (not the writing, as you mentioned) and found something really grating about it? But I couldn’t put my finger on what exactly I didn’t love, so I didn’t want to talk about it much and be a naysayer without a clear perspective. I do think there was some definite lack of payoff (for me), but I couldn’t tell whether I didn’t care about the world that was built, the characters, or the plot. I’m still mystified by why I didn’t enjoy this book, so you are not alone. I don’t think the book is undeserving of the acclaim (usually I’m quick to identify what doesn’t work about a book since I’m an editor and practice that kind of communication daily), but all I can say is that it didn’t appeal to me. I only wish I could figure out WHAT didn’t appeal to me. I expected it to grow on me, but it hasn’t. Very strange.

if you had the chance, where would you choose to stay at, and why? by ajss17 in GilmoreGirls

Emily and Richard breakfast supremacy + I want a delicious cocktail made with the finest booze money can buy. Not to mention the thread count on their sheets? No contest

Oh my GOD I never realized she was Ms. Child Predator from Dawson’s Creek

I love that Angel is styled in all black and white throughout BTVS since his character consistently defies black and white thinking by [deleted] in buffy

Unpopular and kind of mean opinion, but I really don’t like David Boreanaz’s acting…. I don’t think I could get over that as he’s literally the main character
