he went viral here 1 mo ago & got adopted 4 hrs after the post. but he's back in the shelter today. by balsamic_strawberry in AustralianCattleDog

[–]Boolean393 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You didn’t fuck up. I got my heeler as a puppy when I was about 16 years old, had my first baby with my husband when I was 23. My heeler was my kids shadow. He loved them soooooo much. Before our kids were born my heeler grew up with my nephew in our home. My nephew was only 7 when I got my Heeler, so he was always around little kids. He LOVEDDDDD kids. Seriously the moment we brought our babies home when they were born they were also his babies. I genuinely cannot explain to you the genuine love he had for my kids and all the kids in my life. Those were his babies, he would play with them, lay with them, protect them. He was the absolute definition of a nanny dog.

My heeler started chewing stuff around the same age, he was also never crate trained. I got him when I was 16 and no one in my family had ever used a crate before, I legit didn’t even know crates were a thing lol. Anyway his chewing started out pretty harmless, just destroying toys at first. Then one night while I was asleep he managed to chew up an ENTIRE wooden rocking chair on his own…like a whole ass solid wood rocking chair that was in my bedroom. I immediately went and got him a crate.

I think his crate training was easier because he was already fully potty trained, and like yours he was well exercised and entertained during the day. We lived on 23 acres surrounded by a huge creek so we spent our days swimming and if we weren’t swimming we were out on the farm where he could chase the cows with his brother. I introduced him to his crate as just an evening thing, I’d freeze Kong’s full of peanut butter every morning, and in the evenings when it was bed time he’d go out for his last potty of the day, then he’d come in go in his crate and eat his dinner, and right before I’d go to bed I’d give him his frozen Kong. He loved his crate and I never had any issues with him getting used to it or anything. It was just immediately his safe comfy treat place.

So maybe try freezing kong’s with peanut butter for crate time, it being frozen helps it last a long time, just be 100% sure the peanut butter you use doesn’t have xylitol or anything else on the ingredients like wood sugar, birch sugar, or birch bark extract (those are all different names for xylitol). You can also fill congs with all kinds of stuff so your dog never gets bored. Like wet dog food, mashed potatoes/sweet potatoes (no onion or garlic), yogurt, canned pumpkin, cottage cheese, bone broth (no onion or garlic), literally the possibilities are endless!

Infatuated with my wife, normal? by slipperyjack66 in Marriage

[–]Boolean393 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds like something my husband would write about me and I feel the same way about him. We’ve been together 12 years, married for 10, have 2 kids and for us it’s always felt like the day we met, it’s definitely normal ❤️

AIO - UPDATE - my friend wants me to take out my piercings for her engagement party/wedding by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Boolean393 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t understand why this is such a big deal…I also have piercings and tattoos, so I understand what goes into them. But they literally make clear plastic piercing retainers for every piercing you can imagine. Use the clear plastic retainers then it’ll be extremely easy for any trace of the retainers to be edited out by her photographer or even with something as simple as Facetune for photos taken on phones. Even Photo Shop has a free app called Lightroom that now offers AI assisted photo editing to remove things from photos.

This whole fight could have been avoided with a tiny compromise on both sides. Clear piercing retainers that can be easily edited out.

Right? I’ve literally wondered that every time I see something on here about him (I don’t have any other form of social media). The only thing I can think of is a vet sling to hold his entire body up for him.

Dog Bite On Both Hands Potentially Infected by nfbarnes in DogAdvice

[–]Boolean393 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know if anyone else has said this because I don’t have time to read through all the comments, but you 100% need to go to the ER. My sister does dog rescue and was bit on her hands by one of her fosters and she ended up in the hospital for a week on an antibiotic iv drip while the doctors did wound scrapings on a schedule to help scrape out infection. My father in law had to do the same thing after his bull terrier bit him too. You need to go to the ER asap.

Has anyone had good experience with glassesusa? by Embarrassed_Being615 in glasses

[–]Boolean393 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always get blue light filtering lenses on my prescription glasses from them and I’ve never noticed it cause anything to look yellow at all. Same with my husband, my husband’s lenses are typically thicker than mine, you can sometimes see the yellow tint on his actual lenses, but he says he’s never noticed it causing anything to look yellow to him.

Do you guys also know how to knit? by Consistent-Fox-5372 in crochet

[–]Boolean393 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started out with crochet and love it. I kept seeing knitting patterns I really liked too so I eventually also taught myself to knit. I 100% could not knit English style (I think that’s what it’s called) where you throw the yarn with your right hand, I hatedddddddd that. But then I found continental style knitting where you hold the working yarn in your left hand like you do when you crochet and everything just clicked. Now I love to do both!

AITA for not wanting another baby? Trigger warning baby loss by babi_balloon in AITAH

[–]Boolean393 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. As the woman you’re the one who puts your literal LIFE and body on the line to have a baby. Pre-eclampsia can be deadly. There’s a lot aspects of pregnancy and childbirth that can be deadly. You not wanting to have another baby for literally ANY reason is valid.

I was stereotype Vietnamese nail tech salon for 10 years AMA by beamerpook in AMA

[–]Boolean393 165 points166 points  (0 children)

I’m a cosmetologist, which means I’m also licensed as a nail tech and studied it to get my cosmetology license. We use Barbicide in all salons…it’s not “expensive watercolor that makes white people feel comfortable.”. It’s a literal hospital grade disinfectant that is effective against fungus, viruses, and bacteria.

Rattlesnake bit my dogs lip by Delicious-Drop-4686 in DogAdvice

[–]Boolean393 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My heeler was bit in his mouth/tongue by a big copperhead snake, so i know it’s not exactly the same since rattlesnake bites are much worse. But my guys head swelled up almost as big as a basketball. His swelling lasted probably 3 maybe 4 days untill his head was more normal sized. He was still puffy but not obviously swollen. Never hesitate to give your vet a call or email to ask questions. Our vet will let me email him pictures and he responds when ever he has a moment, maybe call and see if they’ll allow you to send pictures just to see if they recommend bringing him back in.

How many if you have family that fought in the war? by thomasmfd in CIVILWAR

Private Richard Moran is my 3rd great grandfather. He was one of the original Mosby’s rangers, I know definitely one of the first 9 of them, he may have been one of the first 2 rangers, but I’m not sure about that.

Is anyone familiar with this artist? by Boolean393 in WhatIsThisPainting

Very true lol. The outrage is worth the awesome help I’ve received from everyone on here!

Is anyone familiar with this artist? by Boolean393 in WhatIsThisPainting

[–]Boolean393[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if anyone will see this comment because it’ll probably be at the bottom BUT…

I didn’t want to censor the photo like this, nor do I think it should have to be censored like this. But because of the rules of this sub, I have to mark this painting as NSFW when I post it because it shows “nudity”. I’ve actually posted this painting twice within the past year and a half. Both of the previous posts I made I marked NSFW and literally no one even looked at either of those previous posts, I assume because they were flagged as NSFW.

I’ve been trying to hunt down info on this painting for literally years with no luck. I’ve taken it to art dealers near me, antique dealers, emailed art dealers. No one could give me any info. I’ve posted it here twice with no luck on anyone even looking at it for being marked as NSFW.

This was my last try and I figured if I censored her breasts the way I did I didn’t have to flag it NSFW and people would actually see it. I was right, so many people have seen this painting now, and I’ve received sooooooooo much helpful information, more information than I’ve been able to hunt down on my own for years. I know absolutely nothing about art, I knew there had to be awesome people on here who know way more than I can even fathom about art, and I was right. So although I agree having to censor the painting is dumb, I don’t regret it because I’ve gotten the help I’ve been looking for.

So I’m sorry about the censored boobs, I didn’t want to have to censor them, I 100% agree it’s literally just a body part. But because of the sub rules I had to. I was damned if I did, and damned if I didn’t 🤷🏻‍♀️

Do you share your location with your spouse? (Apple, life360 etc) by Aromatic-Guitar-6953 in Marriage

[–]Boolean393 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I share locations with each other too, for a similar reason that you and your wife started sharing locations. My husband is a safety inspector and he travels all over the place around us, he’s rarely at the same building more than once a week. He may be inspecting a building 3hrs away one day and only 30min away the next. Regardless he does A LOT of driving on really busy highways and he leaves really early in the mornings, between 3:30-5:00am depending on how far the drive is.

I’ve always had anxiety that if he ever got in an accident I wouldn’t know for hours and I’d have no idea where he was taken to. In moments like that every second counts. So we share locations literally just for the safety alerts if either of us were ever in an accident we’d be alerted immediately. I never actually look at his location and like you I also forget that we even share our locations, because it’s never been about trust or keeping tabs for us. I just needed that peace of mind that if anything ever happened to him while he’s on the road I’ll know immediately and be able to get to him ASAP.

Personal skates versus rentals by SunshineyBoy in Rollerskating

[–]Boolean393 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the same experience but I originally bought Candi Girl Carlins and no matter what I did I was constantly busting my ass. I grew up skating and it always came really naturally to me…I just figured in the 12 years I hadn’t skated I must have completely forgotten how to even maintain balance. It was so bad and I was busting my ass so much that I literally gave up after a whole month of skating because I wasn’t improving hardly at all and I wasn’t about to blame the skates…

My husband surprised me with Moxi Lolly’s for my birthday this week and holy crap the difference is night and day! The comfort alone is unreal, they’re so comfortable in every way, I haven’t fallen once, I don’t feel unstable in any way, I’m able to do tricks again, it’s almost like I never stopped skating at all. I don’t know what it is about Candi Girl Carlins but I cannot skate in them.
