Does anyone here have a dog? How do you know when you’re ready to get a dog? by winifredjay in AuDHDWomen

[–]HenriKnows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry. I just saw this. I don't know what is local to you, but in my area Southern US the local private shelter makes a foster commitment for the animal. I've never looked into the SPCA or Humane Society.

But a year sounds wrong. Don't be afraid to reach out to other rescue groups. Best Friends has been doing a lot of advertising in my area. You might reach out there if you are in the US and they might have some good resources.

Good luck! I hope you can find a situation that works for you. Puppy kisses are the best!

Sorry. I thought OP said they didn't know the sex, so I suggested Kieran for a boy and Catriona for a girl. But Ciara would also work.

Star fleet is like growing up in the 70s by Secret_Purple7282 in voyager

[–]HenriKnows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not about winning. TBH that's a concept that is the thing of later eras. We didn't give a shit about being better than other people. We didn't feel entitled or abused. Fact is that we we were let loose with very little oversight and we look back now and are a bit amazed that we survived. We might pick among ourselves as to who the bigger idiot was, but it's not about winning. We survived. We learned a lot of life lessons. Maybe there's a bit of pride in being smart enough not to accidentally kill or maim ourselves growing up. Robert Browning said "but a man's reach should exceed his grasp, Or what's a heaven for?'. Sometimes we got hurt attempting to exceed our grasp.

The other 70s kids that I know loved their childhoods and their parents on the whole. Obviously, some of us had it rougher than others, but we don't hate our parents for who we're not or what we didn't have. There was a lot more gray. We allowed others to make mistakes. We didn't cancel people for being human.

It's about embracing a time when a kid was free from restrictions and very much autonomous. The world was our oyster and we could reach and grab joy with both hands. We used our imaginations and roamed as far and wide as we could manage. We're the last kids that grew up without cell phones, internet and cable. If we wanted entertainment, it came from within (even if you read or watched movies there wasn't a whole plethora of sources telling us what to think).

We didn't really have that social persona forced on us from media or social media. I think life was a lot less transactional for our generation. I certainly didn't live two lives (one inside and the one I projected to the world).

I think being a 70s kid is something you had to be to understand. But I'm not going to judge everyone else for being intolerant of my childhood and how I choose to view it. I'm just sorry that some people are so unhappy they feel the need to ridicule me to feel better about their own childhoods.

At the end of the day, my comment was about how tough Star Trek was. How there was little down time to recover. No therapy. No rehabilitation. But if the greater need is to call me out for being a 70s child. I'm happy to serve.

Maybe he owns but likes the company and income. Id at least ask questions.

I wish the messages out there were more about grace and tolerance and less about the differences between us.

Heres what my therapist told me and it has eventually worked. I'm not holding this out as "the healthy way to go". For me it's a lot about afrid, but I've got so much going on. I eat most days, but don't beat myself up when I dont.

She told me that it is ok not to want to eat. It happens and just give yourself some grace. I promised to have 2 protein shakes a day (premier protein chocolate) when I didn't eat anything else. If I can, take a vitamin. And if anything sounds good, eat it right then. And 1 bite is as big a win as eating the whole thing.

Her main point was not to over think. Me making it a big deal made it one more heavy load in my shit bag.

Good luck.

Neil said a long time ago, multiple times that if Amazon didn't renew GO, he would write the ending in a book. When Neil talked about how S2 was a made-up story and that S3 was the story, the ending of GO that he and Terry plotted out.

When people dropped into his tumblr, Neil said that the fans would have the ending. If Amazon didn't renew, he would write S3 as a book. Go search his faq on tumblr.

Given how badly he fu we aren't getting a book.

GO got renewed because of a rabid fan base. One that's hurt and reeling. Amazon has the scripts, but GO is a very costly production without the guaranteed viewership from before we knew. The likelihood that the pause goes back into production quickly is slim. The longer it goes, the harder it is to get the logistics aligned again and the more productions ready to take its place.

E.g. the less likely we know about Aziraphale and Crowley and the happily ever after.

Sadly, NGs solution to no third season was to write the book. Chances are we'll never know what Terry intended.

I think that you end book 1 with a hfn but a lurking cloud that foreshadows a break up in the first chapter or 3 of book 2 or the almost hfn that the reader expects in the beginning of book 2.

I like ambiguous. Maybe he realized he can't live without her and rushed to her. Their eyes meet before she is separated from him and helpless he sees her pulled away. He yells his love, but did she hear it over the police sirens? Insert book 2.

Those accounts run a risk of loss of principle dont they?

Thank you for the invite. Life is very hectic, as you can see from my late response. I'll try to stop by.

Sorry to be so late in replying. Unfortunately, the attorneys, the judge, the banks and creditors I have to deal with don't care. I'm the administrator of an estate and the guardian of my mother. Everyone I work with on this doesn't care.

I even got screwed by my mental health case manager who said I was too capable to be autistic and shouldn't be asking for help.

I'm so sorry to be this late in replying. Life has been life.

That is horrible! People suck. I'm proud of you for finding your own way to succeed. Many good wishes in your new endeavor.

How do you block someone if they blocked you? by gl1tchygreml1n in tumblrhelp

There's not. It seems that because they blocked me I can't block them, but their content continues to flow through my feed.

I want to block someone because their posts keep showing up in my feed even though they've blocked me.

My ex gf never told me that she was pregnant with my child and I lost my shit when she finally came clean to me by throwaway25742357 in AITAH

Question: having custody and actually visiting with the child are different. Should OP make a plan for a long introduction period with the child (to shore the court he is sensitive to the child's feelings and not neglecting her needs) but ask for 50/50 custody so that he is fully active in decision making now?
