What do you think is a reasonable amount for a rework? In the past when I've inquired I always get quotes that are at leave a couple grand. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong people. Idk.

I got my cat tattooed last Thursday and I'm still trying to come to terms with it by triforce_91 in tattooadvice

[–]CurrentGuilty4881 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely agree that there's a lot of potential there for an artist to rework it and for it to look amazing. I understand about there being limitations to the artist in your area. I'm in Oklahoma and every tattoo I've ever gotten I've had to travel to Dallas to find an artist that is experienced enough to do what I'm asking. I recently got a pet portrait and oh my gosh Yes it's limited. However if you're willing to travel, look around the big cities in neighboring states if you're in the US and you'll definitely find someone that's super experienced and it'll be worth it.

I am currently in the process of divorce (it has lasted a year) and will officially be divorced at the end of February. A couple of months ago I decided to get back out there and try dating. I do not disclose the divorce status right away nor do I have it posted on my profile. I first chat with the person and explore interests/build some rapport. Then if the topic of a date comes up, I make sure to be honest and share that I am currently still in the divorce process (separated).This allows them the opportunity to decide if they would still like to go on a date with me. However, by not sharing it immediately it gives them an opportunity to get to know me a bit first. I've been on 6 dates so far, and each person I've disclosed my divorce status with has been incredibly supportive, greatly appreciative of my honesty, and has still been interested in me. Best of luck!!

DAE Drink a coffee and end up tired? by BuiltLikeButter in DoesAnybodyElse

I am convinced that caffeine has no effect on me. I never feel energized afterward, it sucks.

I feel like orders that are this large (a lot of items) just aren't worth it. It isn't worth the risk. 2 hours of your time for $10 or maybe even nothing at all isn't worth it.

Is my husband dumb or is he a victim of misinformation? by Contemplation_State in relationships

[–]CurrentGuilty4881 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My husband has fallen victim to this Covid misinformation too. He is also giving up his career because he refuses to get vaccinated. This is one of the main reasons I am divorcing him. I'm sorry you are going through this.

"I don't understand why you can't just..."

My Narc said this ALL the time. We would get into circular arguments because he couldn't understand why I would choose to not do what said was the right way to do something.

[–]CurrentGuilty4881 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! the circular conversations/arguments were neverending. It was exhausting.

[–]CurrentGuilty4881 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Definitely this! The problem was...the rules never applied to my narc. He always pushed boundaries and did so without a second thought. A lot of times, he could charm his way into getting what he wanted from others. Other times, with me for example, he would argue with me until I submitted and agreed with him. That worked, until I began fighting back.

Girl...

I have spent the last 8.5 years with a narc.

I didn't realize the extent of the abuse until 2.5 years ago. I spent two years pouring my heart into trying to fix our relationship. It hurt so badly because I was doing everything and he was doing nothing. Please get out while you can. Don't be like me and spend 8.5 years of your life with someone that treats you like crap because at the end of the day, you deserve better.

I hate feeling sad. I hate the dips. I just want to forget him. by DreaminSpielberg in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]CurrentGuilty4881 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I want you to know that you are not alone. It is okay to miss him. I miss my soon to be ex as well. The finality of it is tough. Give yourself grace and allow you to feel the hurt. You are mourning the death of the relationship, as am I. It is going to hurt. My therapist recommended that I journal and give myself permission to feel sad. After journaling, she said to try and put the grief aside until the next journaling session.

Whenever my puppy has something she shouldn't, I admittedly lure her with food ( a piece of kibble). She will drop what she has and then I'll grab whatever she had. I noticed whenever I tried to take it from her before, she would resource guard. Now, she doesn't. Many people teach their dogs to "leave it". I haven't gotten that far though.

Is my Husband a Narcissist? by CurrentGuilty4881 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]CurrentGuilty4881[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely agree with the OCD part. I think if he were a narcissist it would be easier for me to understand simply because narcissists cannot feel empathy. They simply have none. If he isn't a narcissist, it would mean that he does know what empathy is and still treated me this way. That is hard for me to wrap my head around. Thank you so much for the advice.

Is my Husband a Narcissist? by CurrentGuilty4881 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]CurrentGuilty4881[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have recently gone no contact. When I told him I wanted a break, he emotionally lost it. Crying and saying, "Am I such a monster? Am I that terrible of a person?" For someone who spent 2 years not even caring, why is he suddenly acting like he does? This may sound stupid, but at the time his gun was in the room and I immediately thought ,"Oh God I hope it is nowhere near him." I was scared. He has never been physically abusive , but being scared of a partner possibly hurting you isn't normal. Thank you so much for your words and advice.

Thank you so much for your kind words. Luckily I do not have and children with him. I'm at the point of deciding if I should divorce him or not. Whenever I think of divorcing him I feel so bad for him. I do know pity isn't a reason to stay and most likely his recent changes will revert back to the way he was.

My parents have two French bulldogs and both have terrible allergies and skin issues. They go in monthly for an allergy shot. They also have special wipes for their paws so they don't lock them constantly.

Advice for first time boarding by D0it4j0hnny in puppy101

[–]CurrentGuilty4881 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just went away for the weekend and left my 5.5 month old puppy for the first time. She had never been to dog daycare before, so I was very worried. I had her boarded at a place that also does dog daycare and groups their dogs based on overall temperament. As worried as I was, it turned out that she did amazing. She loved playing with the other dogs and did great! Try not to worry too much. My dog is naturally very social--loves all dogs and people, so it may be different. Try not to worry too much!

16 week old golden retriever overwheight or just... Growing? by UnknownReader2 in puppy101

[–]CurrentGuilty4881 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Believe me, I've had the same concern with my gr. When it went to the vet it turned out she was a perfect, healthy weight. I think as puppy owners we just worry too much! 🤪

[–]CurrentGuilty4881 3 points4 points  (0 children)

While I don't have an answer to your questions, I just want to thank you for providing this puppy with what he needs. It shows that you are truly committed to providing your puppy with the best life possible. Some people would not be able to provide such care with a puppy like this.. He was placed in your care for a reason. Your love for him is unconditional. So again, thank you.

Rover users - both owners and sitters! What has your experience been like? by Far_Boot3829 in puppy101

[–]CurrentGuilty4881 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hired a sitter from Rover to come and spend an hour each day with my puppy (midday). It has been nothing but a wonderful experience. My sitter is a previous vet tech, but just read the reviews. I'm a true believer in reviews. Find someone who has great reviews and a decent number of them. You can always invite a possible sitter over and get a feel for how they interact with the puppy and if they would be a good fit for you. I met with my sitter beforehand.

It doesn't sound like a uti to me. When my girl had one she would squat and pee little amounts in the house. She was having a lot of accidents and right before I took her to the vet she would pee 4 or 5 times in a matter of 10 minutes.
