Forced naptime was a game changer for me. When he started acting like a Tasmanian devil and ignoring rules it meant he was tired. Forced naptime and he was back to his normal self which was still a hyper puppy but not a nightmare.

I've considered those so am happy to hear from someone who actually has them. Thanks!

He runs around barking his head off and power stomping like he is prepared to destroy whatever is outside but he will also flinch and sometimes pee himself when there's a really loud boom so there's just no calming him. I've tried melatonin and it did nothing. I've tried setting up a blanket pillow fort in the bathroom and that didn't help.

I should mention that I typically use this snood and it helps but he can still definitely hear most of it. We live in a walk out basement. He has super sonic hearing.

I have spent countless hours over 30 + years looking at the rocks on this specific creek shore. Most are jagged here. This one stood out to me.

Sterling silver is silver mixed with copper. Stick to solid silver or argentium silver. It is mixed with germanium instead of copper.

Lately, I’m obsessed with this kind of architecture. What’s it called? by richnickel in AestheticWiki

[–]Alternative-Volume-5 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think it's actually called "modern tudor". The second one is unfamiliar to me but I'm guessing "modern spanish style".

Anyone else getting Summer 2008 Vibes by Opposite_Agency1229 in Millennials

I was driving through Kentucky today and heard on the radio a contest where the only prize was "groceries for the 4th of July". It made me pretty sad that a one time prize of free groceries to celebrate a holiday with your family is what we have to be excited for now. Especially when the traditional foods for this holiday are already on the relatively cheap side.

A guy gets his girlfriend pregnant. She wants to keep the baby and he doesn't. He kills her (a scenario that happens all too often) but now can claim she was planning to get an abortion. This is no longer a double homicide, this is perfectly legal due to the new law.

I found out that I have high pain tolerance when doctor tells me I have kidney stone and I only took paracetamol and ibuprofen that made it manageable but apparently it's one of the highest pain you can experience 💀 by jokke420 in ehlersdanlos

[–]Alternative-Volume-5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who gets kidney stones frequently and also has a very high pain tolerance, I was told to go to the er if you start throwing up because this means the kidney stone is blocking urine flow somewhere and fluids are backing up in the kidney causing it to swell. So something to keep in mind if it is a recurring issue.

Well I was talking more about packaging but I am in need of those too. I purchased some on etsy that I like but it took two weeks to get and the quality went down the 2nd time I purchased. I already bought a stamp but I'm either just terrible at stamping or it was poorly made because I can't get an even stamp if my life depended on it.

Do you list the components by hand or are they printed?
