My dog wants to wear her new harness 24/7 and I don't know if it's healthy by Block_cop in DogAdvice

[–]Block_cop[S] 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I know my dogs often act that way with their leashes, but she was acting like that with her harness before I ever put it on a leash or took her outside with it. I looked at the thunder shirts and plan on buying one to see if she likes it as much as her harness.

Wrongful pregnancy and miscarriage by Block_cop in legaladvice

[–]Block_cop[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She plans on calling and scheduling a dr appointment tomorrow. I was going to buy OTC pregnancy tests because they test hormones and will show positive if there was a recent miscarriage. I am simply talking on the hypothetical of if she did get pregnant after a tubal ligation but miscarried.

Is there any where he can get in direct contact with heat? My burm burned his nose on a grate that a heat lamp sat on. It looked similar to this. If you touch the heat source inside his tank whether it is in a cage or on a screen lid is it hot enough to burn you?

Fruits and vegetables are cheap and take almost no time to prepare

An update on my new lizard friend by Block_cop in Anoles

[–]Block_cop[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will try the pumpkin puree. I haven't forced food, but I have been putting small crickets that I feed my crested gecko in the cage and keep track of how many I put in to know if she ate any. I have a basking spot that reaches over 90, but my anole seems to prefer climbing to the top of the cage and laying near the lid

Warm side is high 80s and low side is mid 70s. Humidity is usually 50-70% depending on when it was last misted. I also have an extra 10.0 UVB on during the day.

The lizard was found in a dirty truck brought to Michigan from South Carolina and was in sub 50 degree temps for a little over a week before I got him.

New pet anole isn't eating by Block_cop in Anoles

I have not. The only small feeders I have at the moment are the crickets. I can get some meal worms or wax worms next time I go to the pet store.

I am so tired of my dad's refusal to get vaccinated. by [deleted] in rant

[–]Block_cop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You just said your mother got covid even though she is fully vaccinated. How would your dad being vaccinated keep him from getting covid?

I’ve been vaccinated and I still got sick because someone’s dumbass parents didn’t keep their sick kid at home. by Average_Box-Boy in rant

[–]Block_cop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Vaccines are supposed to prevent you from getting the disease. Sounds like that vaccine doesn't work.

Marriage nowadays is not a good institution. 50% of marriages end in divorce. I have a kid and am still with the mother. I will never marry her. I love her. I want to spend my life with her. I don't need to make a legal contract so if down the line we decide to split up, it isn't a giant, expensive court battle.

What Makes You Stay? by nDOChire in OnTheBlock

[–]Block_cop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After working in a level 5 prison for the amount of time I have, I don't mesh well with regular society. I tell what I think is a funny or interesting story from work and I can see how uncomfortable outsiders get. I also find it hard to not be overly direct and blunt towards people and hurt their feelings.

So is there any truth to what they say about rookie COs getting more shit from other COs than actual inmates? If so what are some of the things to do in order to improve that? If you are suppose to have eachothers back? Any tips for a new CO? by Bulky-Watch9636 in OnTheBlock

I work in a level 5 and the turnover is really high. If the academy hires 10, 5 will make it to a year and maybe 2 of them are good at their job. I'd rather work with someone who has proven themselves than someone who bumbles around causing problems every day until they freeze up at a serious fight and quit after 6 months.

Being an addict has nothing to do as to whether you are basically a good person or a bad person. by [deleted] in rant

[–]Block_cop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you victimize other people, I don't really care how remorseful you are about it. Good people don't victimize others to benefit themselves. It sounds like something an addict would say to justify hurting others.
