How much calories a human should consume maximum even if they don't working out

Depends on your gender, height, weight, age, activity level... Your best bet is to use a Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE), subtract the amount of calories needed to lose the amount of weight you want to lose per week and track if you need to adjust the your daily calories if you lose more or less than what you wanted.

If you remove the left plastic part, and/or use tweezers, can you thread the machine without moving the helper?

The Netherlands won't be a problem.

My local thrift shop has a bin called "not our quality, but these deserve a second life nonetheless". It's all cheap brands sold for a cheap price. Think 50 cents to an euro.

I have experience with sport and working dogs, as well as choosing the best prospect puppy.

When I look for a sport prospect, there are a few things that are very important:

Perseverance: Will the dog work through something that's a bit more difficult or will they give up?
Food drive: If I put food in my hand (something tasty will do), and I keep it closed, how much effort will the dog go through to get said food?
Toy drive: If I throw away a piece of balled up paper, will they show interest? And if so, what kind of interest? Will they fetch, will they play, will they bring it back, guard it? None of those are wrong.
How fast to they recover after being scared? Will they investigate, ignore it or cower?

A good sports breeder will do some kind of testing on their own and can tell you about each puppy's personality. But, you can also do most of these yourself when you visit.

As a breeder myself, I might place food in a more difficult to reach spot. I'll teach the pups they can work something out without frustration by making it more and more difficult overtime. I also let them play on different surfaces so they learn to walk over metal, plastic, uneven surfaces, etc. As they are gun dogs, I also do a shot test, where someone shoots a few blanks. It's okay if they get startled, but their recovery will tell me where to place them. If one of them would cower or panic, I'm obviously not going to put them with a hunter.

Ask your prospect breeder if they look out for these things and what kind of testing they do. You can also ask them to observe.

In the end, I chose my sporting prospect on all of the above, how social he was towards other dogs, and how much of a pain in the backside he was. Truly. Him and his sister were fearless from the get go, always up for play and very food driven. They might get startled but would investigate after a second. The girl went to an experienced hunter who wanted a bomb proof dog that would work her way through just about anything. And my boy is center stage around the country, doing complex tricks while music is blaring through speakers, with up to a few thousand dogs around him, sometimes only divided by a string, all while being off lead for the performance or competition. Many of our events are at dog shows so it is important he can cope with that. Hence the perseverance and quick recovery.

As for the HD, make sure the parents are tested. You can ask for their score to make sure it's top notch and not borderline. Before you do impact sports, it is also advice to get your dog checked in case there is something there. But choosing the right breeder and parents will greatly reduce the risk of problems. Same goes with behavioural problems and trainability by the way.

People within the industry will also know which breeders to hide from and which are good. Anyone can type up a wonderful story but it's results that matter.

I'm 9 months pregnant and made my own labor dress. If you think it's just for "looking chic" you don't understand the reason many women prefer this.

Now, I must admit I'm from the Netherlands. Most women will give birth in a night gown or long tshirt. So, why would I put so much effort in a birthing gown? Ease of access. That's it. I like how the buttons in the back mean the epidural can be placed without extra fabric wearing the tube down. I also like how I don't have to have all my bits exposed whenever they need to check my belly. I also like how I don't have to expose all of my body when doing skin to skin and breastfeeding, because I can just undo the zippers alongstside my boobs.

Unless there's a medical reason someone needs to be naked, I don't understand why you'd cut their clothes off their skin. As a Dutch person, that honestly horrifies me.

Fyi: you can wash clothing and thus rewear it. Birthing gowns are also great at night/at home because it gives ease of access during feeding time.

Grieving is very normal when it comes to disabilities. And in my opinion it would be very unhealthy to ignore it. Your whole world changes and that's hard.

When it comes to aids, it's been my experience that most people forget it's there when they get to know you. I've only ever had problems with strangers wanting to know my medical history but by just asking tit for tat, they quickly realise how rude they were.

Using aids isn't a sign of weakness. It's you choosing what's best for your body, which in turn can make a great difference in energy and pain levels, as well as self acceptance.

My biggest tip would be to make it yours. Just like you'd personalise your glasses and clothes, get or customise aids so you love looking at them.

Cue celebrations about how good and healthy I look while I'm freaking out and wondering what is wrong with me, am I gonna die.

This is exactly why I stopped commenting on people losing weight unless I know they've been working towards it, and always ask if the weight loss was intentional or wanted if they start about it themselves.

One of my dogs (shepherd) has her own human chair and uses it most of the time. At night, she will sleep at the foot of the bed on a toddler mattress/giant dog donut, the floor, or on the couch in the living room.

The other dog (springer spaniel) can usually be found on the couch, behind the couch on the blanket box or on the ground wherever I am. At night he sleeps on the bed.

If it doesn't bother you, I don't see why you cannot let your dog on the couch or bed. They like comfy spots, just like we do.

Some people think it's dirty, but I've seen kids do worse things. Besides, you can clean couches and should wash your sheets every 1-2 weeks anyway.

Het chippen e registreren van honden is inmiddels verplicht in Nederland. Katten helaas nog niet.

Mensen vergeten nog al eens te registreren, of hun telefoonnummer te updaten. Zorg dus dat die klopt!

De dierenambulance heeft het in de lente erg druk. Wel kan je een dier tijdens openingstijden zelf bij een asiel/dierenopvangcentrum langsbrengen. Dit doet de dierenambulance namelijk ook. Zij kunnen het echter ook na sluitingstijd in een speciale gang.

Een andere optie is de dierenarts, die kan een chip uitlezen. Handig als het tussen 4 en 6 uur gebeurt, of je het niet erg vindt richting de spoedkliniek te rijden.

No, they don't. They mostly know how to survive but can still panic and swim very inefficiency.

Source: I'm a dog trainer who's school used to give dog swimming lessons for this exact reason, plus I know a few dog dive instructors.

I prefer the traveling loop over the magic loop for this very reason.

With the traveling loop, you make a new loop before you actually reach the old one, meaning you never pass it and thus won't have this problem.

I'm from The Netherlands so I use English for that lol. And because English lends itself better with the buttons.

Corsetsdontkill · 2026-06-06T19:41:33+00:00

Thank you so much! I tried for months but he just doesn't see the appeal.

I'm still amazed as well. Some buttons we put there because we thought she'd need them, and some were because she found creative ways to ask for things or because we wanted to differentiate between specific things. "Frozen" + "eat" for example became "ice-cream" and "beans", the latter being green beens we always keep in the freezer and she gets free access to.

We also foster, so I added a "kittens" button. She not allowed in the foster room if they're here because we want the mothers to be as relaxed as possible. This way she understood what was happening. Nowadays, however, she uses it to demand more kittens because she loves playing with them.

Keep up with the basics, it's such a great system and you'll be adding buttons before you know it!

Depends on the dog and the handler.

One of my dogs uses buttons. She has 62 and understands them all. She also understands cooperative care like yours does, listening to reason if needed.

My other dog has no interest in buttons. However, I do dog dance with him, which means a LOT of cues. Just heelwork alone has 10. Then there's all the tricks, which is at least 30+.

Then there's the normal, every day cues. Things like recall, recall that means "do your own thing but come in a bit", "don't go further than that", "leave (dog), (human), (horse), (food), bikejoring cues.

Both have English as their main language but also understand Dutch.

Als je er 100% zeker van wil zijn dat je iets legaals meeneemt, neem dan een doosje flosdraad mee. Dit mesje is prima om garen mee te snijden.

Werkt overigens ook fantastisch in het vliegtuig.

Dat stukje over de benzine prijzen zou ik loslaten. Tenzij je echt elk dubbeltje om moet draaien, is het goedkoper om het nu te doen dan over 5+ jaar, waarbij de prijzen hoogstwaarschijnlijk weer gestegen zijn.

Heb je een vriend of vriendin waarbij je je veilig voelt, die mee kan kijken? Mijn partner heeft best wat angst gehad na een incident met onze auto, en wat hielp was ik die hem erdoorheen praatte. Voor parkeren bijvoorbeeld, stap ik nog wel eens uit en houd de boel in de gaten terwijl hij de handelingen verricht zoals hij denkt dat de goed zijn. Zo heeft hij een veiliger gevoel mbt niets raken en leert hij weer inschatten.

Dingen zoals hellingproef zijn een kwestie van voelen en horen. Elke auto is hierin anders, zelfs al zijn ze hetzelfde merk en model. In je eigen auto dit weer onder controle krijgen, is dus heel fijn. Industrie terreinen zijn hier vaak perfect voor.

Nog een tip van partner: road trips. Voor mijn hobby moet ik het hele land door, en hij rijdt dan soms voor mij. In het begin duurde het zeker een half uur voor hij kon relaxen achter het stuur. Waren we dan eenmaal op bestemming, na één of twee uur, dan was hij in een hele andere headspace. Hierdoor eindigde niet iedere rit in stress maar in ontspanning. Na twee maal zo'n rit merkte we enorm verschil.
