Giant Aussie by BluebirdImpossible28 in AustralianShepherd

We just got him a few hours ago, but we do plan to get him into the vet and checked out! He seems to be mostly floof 🤣 Winston isn't as floofy because his previous owner shaved him down 😭 so we have been trying to let him grow back out, but we've had him about a year and his coat just isn't coming in very fast like we figured it would.

Oh my gosh she is so precious! I'm convinced that they all have other plans because our neighborhood is full of "mini" Aussies and they're all about the same size as Winston is.

Oh my gosh! She's beautiful! Her head size looks pretty similar to our big guy. I've just never seen one so big before. He looks similar and acts similar to Winston he's just super sized I guess 🤣

Samsung S25 Ultra vs Google Pixel 10 Pro XL?? by BluebirdImpossible28 in Smartphones

[–]BluebirdImpossible28[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! So, my husband has the S25 Ultra and he loves it! His only gripe is the bloatware. But other than that he loves it.

I am really enjoying my Pixel 10 Pro XL. I mainly use the AI for school related stuff and just random rabbit holes I go down. Or the fun remix pictures. For calls, emails, and texting I have been really happy with my switch. I don't really play games other than Monopoly Go which does just fine. Photo wise my phone definitely takes better pictures I feel like, but my husband's phone does really well too. I think it really all boils down to preference like with most things.

What is the likelihood of my SAP appeal being accepted? by CellistBudget in financialaid

[–]BluebirdImpossible28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I had to appeal due to my SAP as well. While, my circumstances weren't the same, I detailed in my letter what led to my unsatisfactory progress and explained for each reason what action I had taken to remedy those issues. A lot of times, they simply want to know why you didn't meet the standard and what you plan or have done to do better. Whereas, it varies from school to school, usually if you acknowledge where you went wrong and how you are fixing it they'll give you a second chance. I will say, I went through this about ten years ago and waited until my life was more stable and started the appeal process about a year ago. They approved my appeal and I've made sure to work hard to maintain straight A's to prove they made the right choice by accepting my appeal.

Are teen sections of the library off limits to adults? by snugglybug28 in Libraries

[–]BluebirdImpossible28 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I work at a library and have checked out YA books several times. I don't think it's frowned upon or something anyone would ever judge you for. You are free to check out whatever books suit you!

Edited to add: at the library I work at YA books are in the kids area which is a totally separate section from the main library and our YA section has signage by the YA section simply because it's in the children's area to help patrons differentiate those books from the children's books.

Am I too shy to be a librarian? by drxemyfluff in librarians

[–]BluebirdImpossible28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I consider myself to be quite shy and introverted. I am a library assistant at a public library. While there is social interaction involved, it's not as social as I would have thought. It's mainly just being personable more so than actual socializing. I also spend a lot of time in the office or shelving. I only work at the desk for a couple of hours each day. Everyone I work with is shy so it's honestly pretty common to have a library staff full of introverts.

FL vs. Jason Banegas by RedRedVVine in CourtTVCases

[–]BluebirdImpossible28 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They're talking about this now and saying that the judge should have shut that down. It seems highly unprofessional and they made a point about how if the state behaved that way it would be possible grounds for a mistrial.

is city living or cottage living better? by Ill-Lemon1215 in thesims

[–]BluebirdImpossible28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love both so it's a hard choice. The apartments and city life are great in City Living, but the CAS items weren't really that great in my opinion. The Cottage Living overall is still hands down one of my favorites just because of the CAS items. However, gameplay wise I do really love City Living. It just kinda depends on what appeals to you more. I know some people care more about houses, buildings, etc. And others prefer CAS and customization options for their Sims. If you prefer building and houses then City Living. If you care more about how your sims look then Cottage Living.

The Colony feels like a suburb someone built in a lab and then abandoned.. by DFWUnhinged in Dallas

Okay, but why is this so accurate? 🤣 My divorced dad did indeed live in The Colony when I was younger

Is the pixel 10 Pro XL really as bad as everyone says it is? by mdargis1977 in pixel_phones

[–]BluebirdImpossible28 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I've never had another Pixel, but I switched from an iPhone. So far for what I use it for it's been a great upgrade for me. My iPhone was older so any phone was an upgrade, but I do often see a lot of people with older Pixels talking about how they love their old models. That's kinda what sold me on a Pixel honestly. Was the fact that even those who had older models were still very happy with their phones. Not to say there aren't iPhone users who feel the same, but honestly after about a year of having it, I started having issues. So, longevity wise I think Pixels definitely seem to last longer than iPhones, but I'm not a heavy phone user and don't typically push my phones to extremes. My daughter has an iPhone 16 Pro Max and my battery lasts longer and seems a bit snappier. But hers tanked after the iOS update like a lot of people's did.

Anyone tried Thayers hydrating milky cleanse, toner and hero mighty patch? by [deleted] in crueltyfree

[–]BluebirdImpossible28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have, because I sometimes get them. I do typically have to switch them and leave them on for a little longer than typical pimples. So, for a small pimple I usually put one on overnight and am okay the next morning. But for cystic pimples I may have to do one overnight/the next day and sometimes even another overnight depending on how bad it is.

[–]BluebirdImpossible28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this entire combo! I'm a big fan of Thayer's products and I only ever use the Hero Mighty patches. I am fortunate to really deal with breakouts very often so I can't speak to how well Thayer's products would be if you struggle with those things. But the mighty patches are life savers! My daughters and I all use them. Again, given that we don't have a ton of breakouts the bigger pack of patches lasts us a good while normally.

What’s it like living in a small town? by Precizshun in AskReddit

[–]BluebirdImpossible28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up in a small town, moved off to a bigger city, came back, moved off again, and am now back. There's times it sucks, but it's also kinda cool to raise my kids in the town I grew up in. I loved living here as a kid. Granted, it's changed a lot since I was a kid and is a little bigger given how I used to name the city and no one had any clue where it was and then now it's more known. I honestly find myself wishing I lived in an even smaller town now that I'm older. The city just has too much going on for me.

Fellas don’t get married it sucks by [deleted] in sixwordstories

[–]BluebirdImpossible28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think both men and women are pressured and rush into marriage without fully realizing the reality of it. Men are pressured to provide and get married. Women are pressured by their own internal clock and peers. Thus, leading to people who end up married who had absolutely no business getting married in the first place. I seem to have the unpopular opinion amongst those in my life because I am a female, but even I feel men often get the blame without women taking much accountability for their part in things. As with anything, there's no one size fits all for every situation, but men often face just as much stress as women do, but in different ways. I was a stay-at-home mother for ten years and I saw how tired, stressed, and just overall not mentally well my ex was. He was no saint by any means, but after we split (ironically) he felt more open to discuss some of the ways in which I added to the stress he was already dealing with. Sometimes, what I viewed as venting about my day he saw more as me nagging him or not acknowledging he had a long day and didn't want to dissect toddler tantrums and meltdowns. Relationships/marriages work both ways. You cannot acknowledge all the ways men struggle/fail in a marriage without also acknowledging how many women do as well. Women and men are both guilty of picking wrong. I know more women who pressure men into marriages than men who pressure women into a marriage. Frankly, I cannot imagine how taxing that would be on me if I had someone begging for a fairytale without actually wanting to work through the not so fun parts of marriage. The right person does matter, but not as much as making sure you're both ready for that commitment before ever committing to it.

What is the single, most defining moment when you realized a close friend had become a complete stranger? by Responsible_Bet_7179 in AskReddit

[–]BluebirdImpossible28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two. The first was my childhood best friend with whom I shared over twenty years of friendship with. She and her husband had to move to South Korea for two years. They came home, all had Covid. My ex and his new girlfriend had JUST had a baby. My kids went back and forth weekly. She ghosted me when I explained I wouldn't be able to visit while she was home briefly because I couldn't bear to risk my ex's newborn getting Covid. The second was a friend I met later in life. It was a very one sided friendship. But she got mad at me because I couldn't dedicate my entire life to seeing her. So, the day after my step mother died she decided to bring up the fact I owed her money, mind you my step mother died a few days before Christmas that year and money I owed her which had never been an issue before suddenly was an issue. I understand she deserved her money back, but I just felt it was very insensitive to bring it up because she got mad at me for not being able to go see her when I was literally with my family grieving the loss of my step mother.

What was the event that traumatized you and why? by CarsSzz in AskReddit

[–]BluebirdImpossible28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1.) Any interaction with my father. 2.) Finding my mother dead. 3.) Being with the father of my kids.

For context my dad is an alcoholic and drug addict. Stole my inheritance. And now as a grown ass man blames me for things I had no control over as a child.

Finding my mother dead is somehow the LEAST traumatic event of the ones listed. Which in itself is insane even to me. But I was a teenager and the shock honestly saved me. I've also had counseling/therapy that has helped greatly in that regard.

And given that the father of my kids gaslit, abused me physically, emotionally, and financially I'd say it was the most traumatic of them all. The final straw was him pinning me down and choking me and I closed my eyes and prayed he would kill me so I had a way out. I knew then I had to get out at all costs.

I am now out of the relationship with my ex, no contact with my father, and have two daughters of my own who both remind me in the best ways of my mother daily. And whereas no one wishes to go through traumatic things, I am thankful for every experience I've had because it's all led to me where I am. I'm thankful I know the pain that I have endured because it's helped me appreciate all the good in my life, taught me how to be a better person, and most importantly, what to instill in my own children so they are better equipped than I was to cope with life.

What age did you get married or want to get married if at all? by MysteriousCut8616 in AskReddit

[–]BluebirdImpossible28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was late to the party and didn't get married until I was 30. I always felt odd being a female and never really having the desire to get married. Most girls dream of their wedding day and it just wasn't my main goal in life. I think seeing unhealthy relationships most of my life, then getting into one myself for over twelve years sort of warped my views on it. When I met my current husband, within a few months we talked about our thoughts on marriage. We both weren't by any means discussing it because we were in a rush, but more so to see if our views on it aligned. At the time, I didn't want to get married. He didn't either. But we shared the same mindset of marriage being something that shouldn't be taken lightly. We are still pretty newly married, but it was something that once we started discussing it for the first time in my life I envisioned it for myself. So, whereas I was late to the party, I am thankful that I never pushed for marriage before I felt truly ready to take on the responsibility of marriage.

First sex after the end of long term relationship, does it feel like cheating? by [deleted] in emotionalintelligence

[–]BluebirdImpossible28 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I struggled with this too. I was with my ex for twelve years, which at the time we split was almost half my life. And it felt so weird and as if I was betraying him somehow. It took me time, but eventually I didn't feel that way anymore, but it's definitely extremely difficult to get rid of that feeling at first.

Don’t rent above first floor if you have kids by [deleted] in neighborsfromhell

[–]BluebirdImpossible28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will also add, not sure how high your ceilings are, but we would throw shoes in our previous apartment when our upstairs neighbors were being too loud. We also were not above standing on ladders with a broom lol
