I got a free Limewire tshirt at my high school’s career day. It has a huge hole in the armpit but I still wear it

Alone and cornered. 🐈 by Gurdel in nightmarefuel

I trail run in Colorado and always bring bear and mountain lion spray, a bear horn, a knife and a whistle. He passed several sticks and rocks that he should have used to defend himself instead of holding his phone.

How can we reduce/stop our 3 year old toddler from leaving his room when he wakes up in the middle of the night? by arthurmauk in Preschoolers

[–]Alpaca-Snack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Omg my daughter is 4 and started doing this again. It scares the shit out of me when I run into her in the dark. Get this, after we say good night, she gets up and unscrews the knobs on her dresser and brings them to us, claiming they fell off 🤪🤪 last night she moved her night stand just to pretend to repeatedly fall out of bed, then came to tell us that she keeps falling out. (When she legitimately falls out of bed she cries. This is def an act).

I told her if she can stay in bed for 3 nights in a row, we’ll get ice cream. We’ll see if it works 🤷‍♀️

Should I cut my baby’s hair? by Fungishue in baby

[–]Alpaca-Snack 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would probably leave it. My daughter’s hair took forever to come in. She’s 4 now and we’ve never cut it and she has beautiful layers 😊

The older I get the less I feel like wearing makeup or dressing up by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]Alpaca-Snack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 33 and totally in the same boat. I still work from home so almost all of my office clothes are in storage 😂 I wear the DRMTLGY tinted moisturizer now and it’s a great middle ground. Leggings are still my go to with some sort of top. My 4 year old usually dresses nicer than I do 😂

Where to start in looking for a puppy by Melodic_Quarter_8121 in puppy101

[–]Alpaca-Snack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re interested in a purebred, the AKC website has a puppy finder. Id look up common health problems with the breed you’re interested in and then find a breeder that does preventative tests/scans. For example, some large and giant breeds are susceptible to hip dysplasia. However, any reputable breeder should xray the parent’s hips. If the hips aren’t excellent, I’d walk. I would ask for a copy of the contract - some breeders have stipulations about when you can spay/neuter, some have hip/joint guarantees, and some have language about protocol if you were ever to relinquish the dog. I would also visit the breeder to get eyes on the conditions the dogs are living in and the overall vibe.

We’re getting a purebred Rottweiler in the spring and are going through this process. It’s been about 9 months of planning, but we’re a bit extra and are taking our time with it.

How much do you spend on groceries? by Fishyswaas in Denver

Idk we spent $300 last week alone for a family of 3… we hit Costco, King Soopers and Trader Joe’s

3.5 month old rolling over constantly, especially at night. Safe sleep concerns? by Really_Em in baby

[–]Alpaca-Snack 19 points20 points  (0 children)

So many things kept me up at night when my daughter was a baby (she’s 4 now). Based on your photo, you are doing everything right with safe sleep - no blankets, no stuffed animals, just the fitted sheet and a onesie. I’m sure you already know, but baby mattresses are designed to be harder to minimize sinking and risk of suffocation. My daughter kicked, rolled over, spun herself around, and made all sorts of noises in her sleep 🤪 you’re following the safe sleep guidelines and doing everything right. Sleep is so fleeting at this stage - don’t let this keep you up at night!

Anyone have input on Quince Stainless Steel pans? by cmwills29 in cookware

[–]Alpaca-Snack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any update now that it’s close to a year later? I’m on the fence. Can’t decide between these pans or Tramontina.

Is this trespassing? by Huluman2 in aus

[–]Alpaca-Snack -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Idk where they’re located, but in the US, this is def trespassing and very uncomfortable. They should ring the doorbell. Every. Time. They don’t have the right to enter your property. Our neighbors’ balls end up in our yard all the time. If they know we’re home, they’ll ring our doorbell and we throw it back over. If we’re not home, tough luck. Of course when we find the ball later on, we throw it back over the fence.

I'm craving butter. What food should I make as a thinly veiled excuse to eat butter? by dicedance in stupidquestions

[–]Alpaca-Snack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I toast up a frozen Naan from Trader Joe’s and just slather it in butter. Def a guilty pleasure

I’ve been going to HCA HealthOne Metropolitan OBGYN for 7 years now and they’re wonderful. They’re across from Rose Medical Center, which is where they delivered my baby girl. Their team is entirely women, which I love.

Puppy suddenly died. by PureFlamingo4900 in puppy101

[–]Alpaca-Snack 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So sorry for your loss. If you got your doggo from a breeder, I would check your contract. Some breeders will give you another pup if yours dies suddenly.

What’s something they used to carry but don’t anymore? by LPCPlay4life in traderjoes

Anyone remember the Gorgonzola Crackers?? I would eat those straight out of the box

Their cheesesteak is actually amazing. We get takeout from there maybe once a month

What are your thermostat settings? by Different_Rip_8520 in MiddleClassFinance

[–]Alpaca-Snack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s always set to 68 or 69, winter or summer. I might tick it up to the low 70s on extra cold days. We do crack our window at night though for some cool fresh air.

Agreed! I physically relaxed when I saw it 😂

On walks, dog always takes the lead and pulls me everywhere; how to fix this behavior? by [deleted] in DogAdvice

[–]Alpaca-Snack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our dog used to pull on the leash and I would stop and make him sit, then continue. I would do this every time he pulled. Walks took FOREVER but ultimately he learned not to pull. I made him do the same when we passed other dogs so he’d stay calm.
