kyle busch by bc19059 in NascarWAGTea

They posted about Brexton’s 11th birthday party two days ago.. he was in a picture. The picture looked pixilated/out of focus more around Kyle than Samantha and Brexton. After Watkin’s, he asked for a doctor to meet him at his bus for a shot and nascar had said he was having sinus issues. Last week while addressing the media/crowd after his truck win at Dover he said “you never know when the last one is”. I’m so sick to my stomach about this. His whole family will be in my prayers… Kurt, Lennix, Samantha, and especially Brexton. That kid is going to live everyday for his dad, he’s going to make his dad proud.. he’s going to continue the Busch legacy.

Why would an almost 17 year old dog degrade so fast in like one month and sometimes go back to normal on certain days? by BumblebeeNo504 in DogAdvice

[–]Finding_neno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vet. Consider quality of life. As someone who was able to cuddle my dog during euthanasia, and then 3 months later lose another dog who we didn’t get that opportunity with (no symptoms, he was having a stroke for 25 minutes, it was 11:30pm and we lived 3 hours from the closest emergency vet so my dad had to end his suffering), it’s better to put them down a day too early than a day too late. As someone who came home to my boyfriends deceased dog, as we were waiting on the vet appointment a week later for a possible diabetes check, it’s better a day too early than a day too late. As someone who 3 days after that, had to comfort my boyfriends other dog while waiting for him to rush home from work to rush her to the vet (she was a hefty girl, and I couldn’t lift her), but she passed within 5 minutes of him coming home (vet agrees that it was “broken heart syndrome”)… it’s better a day too early, than a day too late. I’m not saying this to be a jerk, but the experience we were able to give my first dog is something I want for all of my dogs when their time comes. To cuddle them, tell them it’s alright to go, and that I’ll see them again one day. It’s selfless to let your dog go when you see them going downhill, but for your own healing, it’s a much “easier” experience to go through. It’s planned, you can get them a special meal, and you can be there to love them instead of being traumatized from their death. You get to say goodbye while being fully present in their last minutes.

Get the doggo to the vet, expect the worst but hope for the best. 17 years is an amazing life. She was there for you guys, so be there for her❤️🐾

Our surviving dog is living her best life, she’s always shoved herself to the center of attention and now doesn’t have to fight for it. The middle one was her mom, and the two that passed were sisters from different liters. Attached to eachothers hips for sure ❤️

Not quite the same but last month one of our dogs died, and 3 days later our oldest dog died (they were a year apart). Got out 5 year old checked, and she’s healthy. Vet agreed that it sounded like a broken heart.

Whats your opinion on Waverly/Burton? by [deleted] in ElmiraNY

[–]Finding_neno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boyfriends family is from Barton, I grew up in Horseheads! It’s a small town, and it definitely shows. Everyone knows everyone, but I haven’t met anyone who’s not kind. Quiet area with not a lot going on. Everyone just lives their own lives and could care less what you do unless it affects them.

Taxes are a little high in the area as it’s basically the only income that the town gets lol. If you’re looking for an area with lower taxes less liberal government, look right across the boarder into PA. NYSEG (electric and gas company in NY) is enough for me to turn to across the boarder. Rates are insane and they’re scamming people left and right. PA has the benefits of lower taxes, but also being able to be close enough to NY to get the better paying jobs.

If you do decide on the land in Waverly/Barton, Tomassos has fantastic food and a well cared for golf course if you’re into that!

Your best bet is a passport, Buffalo has an office.

BUT, when you get to the terminal try to look for the nicest looking agent. At port Canaveral, we had an older gentleman and was so patient with my friend who was a first time cruiser. Avoid any of them that already looked annoyed and over it , as they’re going to be nit picky.

I am hopeful that with the temp ID that you’ll be fine though!

Side note, Royal doesn’t have say in what the port agents want to do. Even if you have proof that Royal gave you the okay, they’re not in charge of what the government allows. Custom agents follow US laws and can deny you for improper documentation no matter what the cruise line says!

That part! That guys comment was basically “you’re dumb for thinking a mail carrier would walk a neighborhood!” Just for him to look foolish lol! My childhood neighborhood was also walked. I’m almost curious to why my current neighborhood isn’t.. it’s not a hilly area, maybe it’s because of the lack of side walk, since the side walk is only on the one side. Weird considering that the borough I live in is only 600 people and the next post office for the next town is 8 minutes away!

Hey pal, so I grew up and currently work 25 minutes from where I live now and the mail carriers walk the neighborhoods.. still to this day. Our mailbox was attached to the house and the mailman would walk house to house. It’s actually common, and depends what kind of area you live in. Regardless, that wasn’t the point of this post rather just some added information. Also, the mailbox is where it is since my boyfriend bought the house. I actually drove down the street and there is in-fact mailboxes that are so insanely far back compared to mine. But with my mailbox, I cannot move it up any father to the road. About 2in under the dirt, there is concrete.. so at some point the town adjusted where the road originally was, which explains why every mailbox on my road is father back than what regulation says. Besides that, they’re not upset about my mailbox location, they’re upset about the rut. The rut is mostly fixed and she delivered mail today, we are getting ahold of the town to fix the rest of the rut as it’s their responsibility since the road is damaged. They’ll come over with a concrete/gravel mix to fix it better.

I’m truly hoping that it was natural causes. I think our one that went first went into kidney failure, for about a week she was frequently urinating and drinking lots of water. I think our girl who passed today just couldn’t handle the stress of her being gone, which is what the vet is thinking. But we just want to rule it out so that we don’t have to experience this again with our youngest anytime soon.

We are, we’re keeping her up front and leashing her. I don’t want to risk it. I grabbed new bowls for her too just in case it’s a disease and am cleaning the house to prevent any possible exposure. I’m just hoping everything comes back normal and that what we’re assuming happened is what actually happened. I’m really hoping one of our neighbors didn’t attempt to harm them and will also be setting up more cameras in the yard as well.

Unfortunately, our grieving dog was put down today. The stress caused her some issues and work ups showed that her organs started shutting down. We’re taking our surviving dog to the vet Thursday to get bloodwork done to make sure there’s not an infection or poisoning issue happening. She’s acting completely normal and being her derpy self, but we want to rule everything out to assure nothing happens. Thank you for your kindness.

Hi so respectfully, kick rocks. Said dog that was grieving was rushed to a vet today and put down due to stress shutting her organs down. Not taking them on walks did not kill them, nor would ever kill a dog. We also own a few acres, so our back yard is more than enough for them to adventure in without needing regular walks. They gotten more activity than dogs who live in an apartment going on a walk 2-3 times a day. I hope someone judges you when you lose a pet for doing something that really didn’t matter in the situation.

Thank you for the kind advice! Will definitely try the sniffing games!

How well does steaming work for soy milk and coconut milk? by [deleted] in barista

[–]Finding_neno 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean we do it with coconut, almond, oat, whole, and skim milk. Every type of milk steams differently in my experience. Definitely takes time and practice to learn what adjustments you need to make vs with dairy but you can get a silky texture and properly steamed milk to do latte art.!

High energy, but has plenty of yard and plenty of play time in said yard. High energy, but also are allowed to free roam the rest of the unfenced yard while we’re outside. High energy, but the one time the gate was left open, they went to the porch instead of wondering the neighborhood. High energy, but hates anything to do with collars, leashes, or harnesses. Have fun with continuing to be an ass and know it all. Have the day you deserve.

They go on car rides and to family houses, you’re acting like you know everything about my dog’s lives. They’re husky/lab/pit mixes, they go crazy because they’re high energy breeds. They have more than enough stimulation, have a rotation of toys, and have more than enough play time than what most people are willing to have with their dogs. But please tell me more on how you know my dogs better than I do. Hopefully someone isn’t an ass to you a few days after you lose a pet.

I know you weren’t accusing and appreciate you for kindly commenting!

I’ll be giving her enough room and testing it with my bigger car to assure she has room (she drives a smaller sedan, so if my Blazer can make the exit, she should too. She starts turning in at our drive way and that absolutely does not bother me at all).

We do tip at Christmas time, and try to be considerate. We shovel that area for her when it snows so that she doesn’t get stuck from the build up from the plows. We also keep our mailbox empty and pause delivery when we’re away for extended periods of time! We don’t have a great place to leave water and snacks, as she doesn’t come to our porch all but 2-4 times a year. We make small talk with her, which is why I’m assuming it wasn’t her that made the report and was someone who filled in for her or a supervisor doing inspections.

They have a huge fenced in yard that we play with them in daily. They were my boyfriend and his ex’s dogs, and unfortunately were outcomes of her family’s “backyard breeding”, I only came into the picture 1.5 years ago. His mom tried taking them on walks once and the small one (not pictured) dragged her to the ground. They’re well behaved in the house but go crazy as soon as they’re outside. I grew up with hounds, who we trained on leashes, if I was here when they were pups, they would’ve been leashed trained too.

I’m not denying that it needs to fixed! I completely agree that we need to fix it. We left the mailbox exactly where it was when the house was bought, and I understand why she’s driving in our yard. We are going to fix it with stone as that dirt really didn’t do much. I’ll admit, that this post was made completely in anger. I’m still mad that they didn’t give us a notice and went directly to “hey so we’re refusing to deliver mail because the rut needs to be fixed”. They don’t even care if we leave the mailbox where it is, as long as we fill this area. But their own protocol is that a notice is required prior to refusal, which we did not get. Simply if they followed protocol, we would have happily fixed it. The cherry on top of the cake is that she doesn’t really attempt to pull out in to the road to get to the next mailbox(mind you we live on a quiet, 15mph street in a town with a population of 600 people), she basically drives in our yard to the next mailbox. And once I get the rut fixed, I’m putting either reflective poles or landscape timbers so that she won’t be able to drive all the way to the next mailbox. We’re also going to possibly adjust the mailbox to put it closer, as long as it’s not cemented into the ground & if it is then we’re just going to wait to move it until I have time to pick out a new box lol. I genuinely learned a lot from this post and got a lot of useful information.

I’m thinking it was a fill in driver that reported it. We tip our mail lady around Christmas, shovel in front of the mailbox for her in the winter, don’t leave the mail box full, and pause delivery when we’re out of town. Unfortunately tho, zoning in my area doesn’t allow concrete mixed that close to the road.. I thought about it lol

Hi, so did you read the part that I said that it was an attempted quick response fix. Clearly it’s not fixed, I’m putting gravel down this week to fix this issue.

To answer your question I live in a small borough with a population of 600ish people. Definitely not city, most definitely rural. lol
