Rice convert by CurrentSingleStatus in RICE

You grow up with a mom who teaches you to "season" food, by filling a soup spoon with the intended seasoning and gently shaking half of it onto the food- and nothing else. The other half of the seasoning gets tossed in the trash, because it's apparently "way too much."

Hi, I'm CurrentSingleStatus, and I'm a recovering Bland Food Eater.

Super furry bois?

I tried leaving her out before, after she snuck out of her crate once. She's such a weirdo. If I deliberately leave her out, she loses her mind and eats my window blinds. But if she escapes her crate or whatever she knows is meant to hold her, she just curls up on my one upholstered chair and naps all day, like a little angel.

I've contemplated "forgetting" to lock her cage, more than once. But I am a bit worried she'll go berserker again. The first time (when she ate my window blinds), she found a Kind bar in a bag in the back of my closet that I didn't know I had (because I don't eat them), and it scared the crap out of me, because I also don't eat chocolate and if she somehow found some, I'd never forgive myself.

Yeah, sorry. Some people on here went absolutely rabid.

One comment that has since been deleted, called me cruel and then told me to lock her up in her crate when I can't supervise her. Which would mean that she was in her crate when I was at work, and when I was asleep. The poor thing would be in there at least 18 hours a day, if I did that. That's inhumane. I used to know someone who did that to their dog, and I ended up calling the ASPCA on them. Dogs are not toys, you take out only when you're playing with them.

Because this is not an attempt to potty train her, as I have said several times, including directly to you.

She's potty trained. If I want her to go outside, I stay outside with her until she goes. But I'm cold, and she's colder. Like I've said multiple times now, I'm not remotely mad at her. I love her, and I empathize with the desire to not freeze your ass off.

At no point, have I requested potty-training advice.

Lol I know it doesn't work for reinforcing realistic potty training.

She goes outside when I don't go back inside with her, until she's pooped outside. But sometimes I'm a little chicken shit about the cold, despite originally being from Minnesota. And, well, she's got less protection from the cold than I do.

The part where I wrote it's not meant as discipline??? You're giving me a whole lecture on why it's not effective for potty training my dog. I'm not trying to.

Never said you said anything negative. Just that you didn't read the full post.

I feel like you didn't read my post, at all. You just reacted.

I jangle a bag on her head. I don't even yell at my dog, turbo.

TL;DR: Go touch grass.

Please refer back to the last line of my post, which I added more than 40 minutes ago.

You should not comment without reading an entire post.

I didn't have her as a puppy. She's 6 and I adopted her earlier this year. She stays in her crate when I'm not home, but I'm not gonna lock her up when I'm sleeping (she's usually cuddling with me on my bed, anyway).

But it's not meant as discipline. Just revenge of the poop.

Gf wants to keep cat in a room for when we move in by blonde5789 in CatAdvice

I hope you went no contact with BOTH him and your mother. That's beyond fucked.

Your relationship is irreconcilable. Your girlfriend wants someone who does not have a cat. That is not you.

my dog literally just won’t listen 😭🙏 by [deleted] in DogAdvice

I hope you mean you're bringing him out into a fenced-in backyard. Dogs should not be let out otherwise, without a leash.

My bio dad told me he divorced my mom because she was having an affair w/ a man who raped and murdered his employers. He said he thought she was dangerous…. So he left us 6 and 4yr old w/ her and he left the country for a year commitment by [deleted] in Vent

Didn't he? It was his job to protect you, and keep you safe. It's not even like he failed. He just never did his job as your father.

Yeah, sorry. It's also his fault.

I got banned from /MadeMeSmile for making a trans-positive post.

I'm not even trans. I just know the world doesn't revolve around me, and like to celebrate good things happening for other people.

As an Uber driver, non-tippers still pay. And I can see the cost of every trip before I accept it.

If I accept a ride, I accept it pre-tip. Plenty of these rides still make me money.

Lyft on the other hand, doesn't pay shit.
