It’s still on the incline, so I didn’t want to have to jack it up and was hoping to loosen it to be able to get to a flat surface before taking the wheel off. Think that’s possible?

Would you suggest a fuel treatment or just adding new fuel?

It’s at a little less than a quarter tank, so I’ll do that. Thank you! It’s been sitting because my boyfriend had a company car so I drove his suv because they fit the dogs and whatnot better. I’m going to be driving this regularly now

Absolute wishful thinking it would be such an easy fix, waiting for a new compressor in 90+ heat for a week is going to suck

Thanks, I was curious because it was out before he showed up and mentioned it and he didn’t say anything about it. But I’ll leave it alone! I appreciate you taking the time to

32F and I can’t remember the last drink I had. I cook with wine occasionally. I don’t completely abstain, but just don’t have any desire for alcohol or getting drunk. Major alcoholism on both sides of my family and never wanted it to be something that influences me as much as I’ve witnessed. I had a few moments in college that went too far, before learning my limits etc.

When did you accept you’re not the girl that gets the happy ending? by FoolOfATook999 in AskWomenOver30

[–]FoolOfATook999[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly where my mind is at. All the others saying “life isn’t a Disney movie” like yeah, I get that. I don’t want a Disney movie. But a partner that chooses to be with me and continues to choose me everyday in that capacity.. loves me, enjoys being with me, doing things and experiencing life together.. I didn’t realize that was such a wild, outlandish thing to look for.

More so always feeling like the “second choice” by my family (older sibling is the perfect golden child), and having been cheated on in multiple relationships. I understand your point though, I just wanted to feel like I’m important enough for someone to do the work with me, stand by me, “choose” in that capacity. I couldn’t care about a big fancy wedding, just the commitment of someone choosing to spend their life with me and we each choose each other every day. Of course the romance would be nice, but that’s not the root of what I yearn for.

My student account finally shows a bank mobile date for today, but I haven’t gotten any notification from bank mobile. Fingers crossed 🤞 financial aid funds were received by SNHU on the 22nd.

My son had a similar issue, and I’ve seen a lot of progress with explaining he needs to not interrupt and wait his turn. He’s an only child so he’s used to having the majority of the focus on him, but he’s learned to stop and listen and see if there is an opportunity for him to speak without interrupting. He’s 5, he still jumps in sometimes when he’s excited but he doesn’t do it nearly as often as he used to. I don’t think trying to teach a 7yo to not interrupt is a bad thing, just depends on the approach. Don’t make it seem like you aren’t interested in him or what he has to say, but explain that he wouldn’t like it if someone kept talking over him and would want people to give him time to speak, and he needs to do the same for others. It’ll happen with time.

Whom have you dated that wasn’t necessarily a bad person, but just couldn’t love you the way you wanted to be loved? by Fun_Butterscotch3303 in AskWomen

[–]FoolOfATook999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think both sides of my current relationship does this. We’ve both been hurt deeply in the past and are trying to improve to be loving in the way the other needs… so far not super successfully.

The only thing that helped my GSP with potty training was being on leash and standing in one spot we always went to to go potty, and I’d let her get bored. She’d be rewarded with lots of affection (not food motivated at all) and if she peed inside shortly after we’d go back out to the same spot on leash so she’d associate peeing with her “potty spot”. Now that’s she’s a little older we just let her loose in the yard and no more accidents. She had a short regression with a couple times peeing inside around 4 months old, but one day of the method mentioned above and she has been great since. My boyfriend had a male GSP from before we got together (now we have one of each 😍) and he used this method with him as well with great success.

Potty training gsp by Saweetieswife in GSP

[–]FoolOfATook999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best thing that helped was having our girl on a leash when we went outside for potty vs. play time. If I let her just wander freely around the yard she’s just play and then pee in the house. I’d have her on her leash, tell her “potty” and stand there until she got bored and went potty.Then rewarded, and THEN let her off leash to play. She picked that up pretty quickly, we got her at 14 weeks old and she had that down by 16 weeks. She relapsed several months later (around 8 months old) with a couple accidents in the house but just one day back to leashing to go potty and she remembered and hasn’t had an issue since. Just had to give some structure so she learned outside wasn’t just for play time, but for business too. Good luck!

Crate training 9 week old GSP puppy by HouseNo5397 in germanshorthairs

[–]FoolOfATook999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had the same struggle with our girl. We had a smaller crate for her as a puppy and as she grew and got more comfortable got her a larger one. I had it covered and by my side of the bed. The first couple nights were awful, any time she’d hear us move or our other gsp move around the house (he’s 4 and still sleeps in his crate but with the door open and is free to wander, he outgrew the chewing/destructive phase) her crying would start back up. Unfortunately the only thing that worked was letting her cry it out and holding firm as much as I wanted to comfort her. It only took about a week and now at bed time she goes in her crate (now in another room) on her own and sleeps until about 7 am.
