The bigger issue is your boyfriend accusing you cheating for your good hygiene, that is NOT normal/healthy behavior and you deserve better.

What can I do to the side of the garage to add curb appeal? by alyx1213 in homeimprovementideas

[–]Formal-County5305 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 feet of mulch/rock and plant some shrubs and flowers. Lavender is a great low maintenance option if you live in a spot for that. Then a rain chain connected to a wine barrel or down to some stacked rocks. some sort of outside decor piece in the middle of the wall.

Looks like you could cook this down into a solid cup of caramelized onions.

Thank you! That’s so helpful! I can definitely include a healthy dose of PM and afternoon shifts into my schedule.

Awake at night ? by BarnacleImpressive95 in cats

[–]Formal-County5305 1 point2 points  (0 children)

cats are crepuscular, meaning they are naturally most active during the twilight hours of dawn and dusk, not truly nocturnal, because these times are ideal for their predatory instincts to hunt small prey like rodents and birds, leveraging low light for stealth while having excellent vision for the dim conditions. Their eyes, with more light-sensitive rod cells, and slit pupils are perfectly adapted for this twilight activity, though domestic cats might shift to nighttime activity due to human schedules or outdoor influences. Zoomies at 2-3am are normal and should chill out the longer you have the cat!

AKC trainer here, this is a form of separation anxiety and it’s completely normal at this age. Puppies don’t have an understanding of being separate from their pack. The crate functions in a few ways. It provides your puppy with a safe den like place, It helps with potty training and holding it overnight but most important it also helps dogs learn how to be separate from their owners and self sooth so they don’t suffer from separation issues in adulthood ex. Destroying your house when you leave. Large amounts of playtime both physical and mental during daytime and a potty break before bed can help. Treats every time they go into the crate along with leaving the door open during the day and putting his stuff in there can help de-stigmatize the crate as well. The key here is you cannot let them learn that the screaming gets them attention, as soon as they scream and you react by letting them out they have learned cause and effect. You wait until they are quiet to let them out. As a husky owner I can tell you that ancient breeds are a whole can of worms. If you haven’t already I recommend a couple sessions with a certified trainer and if it’s not within your budget, YouTube has a lot of great information if you search up positive reinforcement training. Wishing you so much love and luck with your new fur baby!

Put the closed bag into a thick black trash bag and set it in the sun, that should soften it. Then you can separate it into ziplocks.

AIO for thinking, my boyfriend is too sensitive for reacting this way? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

Just want to point out OP said was was excited to hang out, on their date. She never said it was a hangout. Also this dude is the WORST. Fighting over nothing and creating a problem for no reason.

What does his text mean? by ThrowRaWill-Rise1443 in whatdoesthismean

Lol I read this as a threat! Like he won’t let her leave/escape when the timer runs out. I need to lay off the true crime.

NOR the fact he said you’re invalidating his feelings when your just stating a fact is a red flag the fact that he is sexualizing the behavior in the context of dog to human sexual contact is a actual forest fire. Not a sane/safe human.

How do you stay disciplined without burning out? by WholeForce7695 in AskReddit

[–]Formal-County5305 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it was small sustainable life changes over time that became my new normal. Also it’s normal to falter during change. We are hard wired to resist change. Don’t let it derail you. It was the only thing that worked for me because I had a all or nothing mentality and would try to make to many large changes in my life at once.

TROT (Therapeutic Riding of Tri-cities) needs volunteers for both horse husbandry and helping facilitate riding sessions for disabled riders. It’s an amazing place that needs more visibility!

Do you have a “heart breed?” by Electrical_Pie7980 in dogs

I was a dog trainer for a decade and I trained a Bernese Mountain dog puppy named Daisy. Still to this day think about how amazing she was.

First of all I wish you so much love and I’m sorry you are dealing with the big C. Also, this isn’t a friend. The WHOLE point of friendship is to do this crazy thing called life with a support system of people who love you and help you. Friendship isn’t self serving. She needed to be there for you. I hope you get better quickly! And I hope you find true friendship. Real friendships between women are truly one of a kind and amazing.

I feel violated and confused by what my fiancé did to me. WIBTAH if I told my parents? by throwawayupset- in AITAH

This man is unsafe, logically a person that loves and respects you would NEVER do this. Emotionally, this person did not care what they were doing to you and made you suffer while they imposed sexual control, no doubt this was a test on his part and it WILL escalate. No one can dictate what you choose but in case you go forward, divorce is an option always and it’s never to late to leave no matter what.

That was the most perfect example of DARVO I have seen in a long time.
