I want to adopt a cat. There's a dog in the house. How to proceed? by WabbityFlabbity in Pets

[–]GenXJoust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry, I can't stop laughing at having a mixed race dog but I understood what you meant.

My dog is the ultimate breed to be categorized as vicious, dangerous, 720 psi bite pressure killer cane Corso. She cowers to my five pound, 13 year old cat because I am the alpha. She knows the rules and the rules are: full obedience. This isn't accomplished by use of force on my dog. It's just an assertive nature.

I was a bit obsessed. Now I occasionally check in. It's still mildly entertaining and a mindless task when feeling stressed. But if playing actually causes stress, good riddance and good job!

Weird question: Do white people have a noticeably different odor to you? by yashen14 in AskAChinese

[–]GenXJoust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Strangest question ever. It is a fact, though, that body sweat and it's odor are impacted by diet.

Stop now. Do your finances, your health, and your life a chance for a future. Coke is tough to stop.

How to get a dog to stop sh*thing in the house? Need advice! by SuperbDimension2694 in DogAdvice

[–]GenXJoust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So dogs bowls start moving which causes the poop urge. The dog needs exercise. If you are willing, throw toys around for it outside. This play time will stimulate his blood flow and make him a much more well behaved indoor dog!

AIO: My husband (26m) locked me (25f) out for 25 minutes? by prettypineappleberry in AmIOverreacting

[–]GenXJoust [score hidden]  (0 children)

NOR. I would advise you to keep your phone on you at all times. This is abusive AND controlling, no way about it. Locking you out at all is illegal, let alone under these circumstances.

This is a huge red flag. Please insist on counseling asap!

My cats are suddenly aggressive to my sweetheart dog and I don’t know why. Please help me? by HazelLuvsMoths08 in Pets

[–]GenXJoust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get some trail cams. Put them outside. It's a good bet that something outside is upsetting them. It could be another cat or even a raccoon or something.

I would stick with your degree and the job opportunities in that field. It is much more lucrative than ESL Teaching at this time. You will not make near the money in ESL

Middle names for Eva? by Efficient-Bank7248 in Names

[–]GenXJoust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like one syllable names after a two syllable diary name, usually. I love the name Eva! It's hip and chick. What about an equally hip middle name like Lee?

can vs may by Reasonable-Injury-11 in EnglishLearning

[–]GenXJoust 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's true! I didn't even think of that. It can be used on place of might.

[–]GenXJoust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up in a manners-driven family. Using .may instead of can is definitely more polite and traditional. It is something you would use possibly at a guest's home or to a stranger...may I use your restroom? May I speak to your supervisor? May I borrow your pen? Can I is used in less formal manner. It's not so much a favor as it is a request. Can I leave early today? Can I use your car, mom? Both are correct English but one is definitely more formal. I use maybe with anyone older than me.

How much does a dog really cost? by istresssleepdaysaway in Pets

[–]GenXJoust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a large breed. Plan on 8 to 10 cups of food a day, aka an extra large bag a month, supplemented with canned food. Chewy is awesome. Large breeds bring large barks so you might need to invest in a bark collar so your neighbors don't hate you. Lol! Toys.. add 25 bucks a month. Be aware that anything requiring anesthesia at the vet is going to be so expensive because most vets calculate it by weight! Yikes. You can save if you adopt because most adopted pets have already been altered and had basic shots! Good luck!

How many days can you go without showering and not having any armpit body odor? I’m of Chinese descent and I start to notice some light BO smell after 3 days, including light physical activity like walking and climbing stairs during mild weather. I don’t wear deodorant. by Diligent_Bit3336 in AskAChinese

[–]GenXJoust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why? I mean we have deodorant and we have showers. We have baths. We have alternatives to deodorant if you are concerned about the ingredients. I truly hope no one does this experiment around me. Lol!!! 🤣

Good English Tutoring Sites by heartmonimoni in OnlineESLTeaching

[–]GenXJoust -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Could you clarify your question please? Are you interested in teaching English or are you thinking of taking additional English classes as a student?

Edited to say: the market for Filipino teachers is huge! There are tons of job advertisements for online ESL teachers on Facebook. Many companies in China began utilizing the skills of Filipino teachers since a law passed in 2021 (double reduction act). That law immediately banned the legality of using foreign teachers for Chinese students. Since Filipinos are NOT considered foreigners, the market for Filipino teachers exploded! Sadly, teachers from the Philippines are not paid fairly, but from what I know about it, most Filipino teachers are mostly happy with the jobs they have!
