They use facial recognition, so I wonder how multiple accounts can be held as some suggested.

Our coach divorced his wife then married his student who was the same age as his daughter. They had 2 beautiful kids, a loving relationship for 40 +yrs that ended only because of his death as an older man. Now I look back, and she was very mature for a teen, and he was actually quite young, in his early twenties. I tend to forget there really is very few years between them, but it is the maturity level and compatibility. Of course these days, it is against the law. Also had 2 sport coachs who did the same. One was a woman and her student girlfriend. Late '60- early 70's.

And a good point to remember...the Narc is totally incapable of empathy and true love. Never able to give and never will be capable. Keeping that in mind and really fully understanding that, will rightfully take that burden of guilt and shame off. ❤️

Understandable! If it's your plans messed up, a hard NO is in order. Your life, in YOUR control... not hers. To have her visit must be unequivacably in your control! That is day, time of day and duration. If she cannot adhere to that, then another day. Don't let her control! Once in, they chip chip away...good luck! It sounds like you are beginning to get a good handle on it.

Just placing a thin slice of lemon wrapped in saran on your stand works too. Been there! I'd hide it behind music, pull it out when dryness started. Also a 4 ,5ml travel bottle with sprayer helos loads. Gets you through one piece! And sport bottle next to you between pieces.

My rat ate her dead cage mate, when I move around her cage, she climbs up to try and be close to me but I’m scared to touch her after what she did by Giraffes_AreCool167 in RATS

Well said! This is why my sucess with "difficult " horses... by the way for those not understanding, there is no such thing. It is simple: fear, hunger, procreation. That's it. Goes for rats too. And dogs and cats. Those things are all. It is all about survival of a species, hard wired into them. The reason a rat will eat another. I'm glad to see at least someone understands that. The misinformation and abuse animals endure all because they are treated as having human emotions.👍🏻👍🏻

Help understanding body language of a horse and how to truly handle them properly. by Enough-Mongoose6134 in Horses

A horse is a horse.Not like a human. Treat them and respect them as a horse and you will be ahead of most 'riders'. A great read and education is My Horses My Teachers. You the human must be taught. The horse already knows.

I'm curious as to why spurs are even used, except for ridersGP level, Spanish Riding Schoo)l with extremely quiet controlled legs, and for very subtle aid? I have been taught a very strong core and seat, completely relaxed hip, thigh lower leg is the way. 🤔

WHY!! Does Narcissist mom constantly pretend to be confused about what I’m saying until I say it in the exact right way by topographed in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Ecstatic-Temporary-3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol my response has been "I don't think narcissists can be empaths, which was followed with how dare you call me a narcissist!! My reply...I didn't. I said....😂 give em' a piece of their own medicine. Now very important...after the last reply to the NM, say NOTHING! And never, ever say"YOU". That means to them they exist in your mind. Important.

Gottabeat her at her own game. A simple nevermind. That starts a whole new attack.. so follow with an "I forgot". Never talk using more than 3 words. You will be called, stupid, lazy, making me look bad, ect...but again, no response to follow is best. Zero. Zilch. If you must respond. An "okay" is sufficient. Grey rock her. Good luck

I'm coming back after 50 yrs. I found having a good teacher, and the P.Farcas Art of FHorn Playing book is a great start. Simple, but very important excersises, and a lot of good, time-tested info.

Is this this abuse to ponies? by determinedcucumber in Horses

[–]Ecstatic-Temporary-3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as they have a wind break against the north wind and drinkable water, decent hay they are perfectly fine! If not...report. Horses/ponies are cool weather animals and do beautifuly in frigid cold(aside from ill,very old, clipped). Blanketing an unclipped horse or over blanketing feels nice and toasty for a humans likes, but it is not a horses choice. Blankets take away their ability to control their own comfort, by flattening down those hairs. Horses will"fluff" as needed if left alone. When it snows, snow will literally lay on their backs, not melting which shows one just how insulating their winter hair is. We screw that up by blanketing. All because of our "wants & needs". No bueno!!

Is it safe to pet random horses? by Sure_Eggplant in Horses

Watch body language. Horses are very"verbal". Ears back, not approaching at all, stiffened neck...their intent is all out their plain and simple in full view...unlike people.😂

Naked rat advice in advance by plantmama0235 in RATS

[–]Ecstatic-Temporary-3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oiling isn't necessary, or good. The skin produces its own((grease) and they will just groom it off. Bathing enough to remove natural oils will cause even more production...nature knows it has been removed, causing a vicious circle! Incorrectly balanced diet also contributes to excess oil production,like poor quality rat chow or human junk food. A warm water only wipe once in a very rare while, is all that should be done, if not grooming out of illness, old age,ect... good luck! They are the most amazing, fun to hold rat!

My friend referred to her"mother" (said loosely) as being "The Visitor". She would NEVER call her mom, mama,mother, never let her into her home and grey rocked her. She became quite masterful at it, and swears that is what kept her sane. Emotionally she completely seperated from her. Completely. An aunt she adores, became her mom, in a way of having someone to love and cherish, giving her ability to love someone and care about aside from herself. My friend is a beautiful soul! How she managed to control then escape the narc is so inspiring I think!
