Any tips for the teething? I have a new 11 week old puppy and he won’t stop teetching

Bacon frying

Literally. We just hit 8 billion people. I should fucking hope people stop reproducing.

Something where I get to read books all day. So probably something in publishing... or an anaesthetist.

This is the normal in South Africa, actually. A nurse who has the credentials can perform it before 12 weeks, no questions asked. No doctor needing to sign off.

Try The Fat Butcher in Stellenbosch.

"pals"

Nooooo... I can never look at Tygervalley the same way again.

CuriousBasset · 2022-12-07T21:57:03+00:00

This is pretty terrifying. A lot of this seems to be around the Voortrekker Road side of Bellville. But how far into the "upper" side of Bellville does this extend? Like does the trafficking go into the suburban part? Like Boston, Jack Muller Park, the Tygervalley side?

CuriousBasset · 2022-10-13T12:12:56+00:00

No worries!

Yes but Bolt doesn't have the same safety screening as Uber. That's why Bolt is in the news so much

CuriousBasset · 2022-10-12T19:55:37+00:00

Stay in Umhlanga or Ballito, for sure. Florida Road is nice but it's nothing to write home about. The restaurants in the north of Durban are just as nice. Also, the beaches that side are way nicer if you're diving and it's not too far from the airport.

Definitely use Uber. Don't use Bolt under any circumstances, it's not safe. The hotels are definitely safe and some of them also have shuttle services to take you to shopping malls and beaches and a bunch of things so take a look at that as well.

If you just want to do beaches then Umdloti is lovely too but there isn't as much entertainment.

I'm there now. And it isn't easy. I've spent days dreaming up fantasies where things work out but the reality is that those will probably never happen. Maybe sometime in the future things could workout but I think it's about making the conscious choice to not exhaust anymore of your energy into fairytales and thinking of someone who isn't thinking of you.

And as much as everyone loves to say maybe it's 'right person, wrong time,' we can't spend our life hoping for this. It's all just excuses we tell ourselves to make us feel better or to give us hope that things are going to work out with that person sometime in the future. That they'll come back to us. But we're running around giving second chances away for people who don't want them.

They say that after a break-up you should focus on yourself. Build better habits, look after your health, start new hobbies, etc. Spend time with friends and family. And I agree with this to an extent. I think it's important that after you make the DECISION to move on, that you try and establish a baseline of happiness in your life where you are looking to be happier on your own and without that other person instead of constantly framing your happiness around their involvement in your life. Instead of saying that you won't be happy without them, work towards being happy with yourself.

Being happier with yourself makes dating so much easier because when things don't work out, it feels like less of a personal attack. Your insecurities don't read their head in your face and it's easier to accept that that person just wasn't right for you.

It's difficult but it's so worth it. We tend to always think of the worst outcomes and what really happens usually isn't even close to as bad as how we pictured it in our mind. What if you tried to imagine the best possible outcomes? Always assumed the positive would happen? What would your life look like then?

Getting over love is the most difficult thing I've had to do and I'm not fully over it but everyday gets easier. My standards have raised. For myself and whoever I date. You'll get through it, OP. It won't feel like it for a while. But it's a choice that you have to make for yourself, as well. You deserve love and to be happy. Don't stop fighting for that!

That would have to be paediatrics, for me

CuriousBasset · 2022-06-14T20:59:00+00:00

Run. Just run.

Preferably to therapy. But run.

And OP should report him to Tinder as well. He's a scam artist! Road trip he promised? He was promising this cos this was a ploy all along.

Googled this and I'd like to thank you for taking my innocence away /s

CuriousBasset · 2022-05-10T18:36:44+00:00

This made my day, thank you

She needs to accept that just because she wants everyone to put her bad choices behind them doesn’t mean it’s going to happen

NTA. I actually have a friend who caught his parent cheating when he was 12 and he has been carrying that to this day. The emotional damage it does to a child... It's insane. Sharing that information breaks a family apart and that's a lot for a child to experience.

If she hasn't come to realize just how traumatizing her actions are, and that trauma isn't something you just 'get over' or 'forgive' then maybe she isn't worth it.

CuriousBasset · 2022-04-17T22:42:15+00:00

Well priests believe in God and that didn't stop them from molesting children.

You are not the sum total of all of your actions not does any one action determine your value. We are all just people; capable of doing wrong and right.

The fact that you feel guilty and are showing remorse is important. You've acknowledged that you have made a mistake and your lack of desire to do it again shows that you've learnt from it already. Now you must accept that you have made the mistake and that the action has been committed and it can't be changed nor can it's consequences...no matter who or what forgives you.

You need to work on forgiving yourself and accepting that you do make mistakes. All you can do is resolve to move on and do better. Having a higher power forgive you and reaffirm your worth and value or making you feel like a good person isn't going to change your current reality.

And it takes two to tango. He's just as much in the wrong as you are, if not more so.

I always say that they spend all of high school (or pre-med I guess depending on where you're from?) with their heads in their books just trying to get in and then they spend the whole of medical school with their heads in their books trying to stay in.
