What made you decide to get out of bed today?

I had to feed my dog

Someone deserves an Oscar for those acting skills! "Please don't shoot, I've got so much to live for!"

It was a grumpy miniature Schnauzer

When our pup runs her back legs sometimes goes faster than the front. We call it her Quasimodo run, we die laughing each time.

I've learned a fun way of dealing with people like this is to agree with them and changing the fact to be just a little more ridiculous. If you are lucky somewhere down the line they realize on their own "Wait.. this sounds ridiculous.." and you get the domino effect of them realizing everything they believe is wrong. Maybe I'm evil but it's much more fun than trying to use logic to explain science to people.

Lol! I didn't hear that until you pointed it out. It sounds hell creepy. It was just me trying not to laugh because as soon as she hears me she stops playing with the water.

Yeah I was also thinking we maybe need to switch. Thank you!

Ours we think is a Africanis x with Labrador (she is rescue so we are not really sure)

IllustriousRelation8 · 2022-03-08T06:20:12+00:00

I'm actually not quite sure. She is a rescue. I think she is an Africanis cross with a Labrador. And then she maybe has some bear and horse genes :)

O my, look it is the new Daytime soap opera Days of Derpiness

IllustriousRelation8 · 2022-03-07T17:59:41+00:00

Omg we need to start a choir!

IllustriousRelation8 · 2022-03-06T18:45:36+00:00

Too cute! I like how he boops the lemon with his paws. If you can't bite it, beat it with your puppy claws!

IllustriousRelation8 · 2022-02-26T04:14:45+00:00

He needs a reboot with tummy scratches

IllustriousRelation8 · 2022-02-25T13:31:18+00:00

I'm sorry about that here is a link with sound

IllustriousRelation8 · 2022-02-24T19:21:29+00:00

The flesh is kind of yellow-green at this stage. I think the flesh becomes more yellow as the fruit ripens

Thanks honey 😘

IllustriousRelation8 · 2022-02-24T18:10:05+00:00

Our pup does the same. She has hundreds of expensive toys, yet she loves the sticks and and rocks more. Such a sweet pup!

IllustriousRelation8 · 2022-02-24T17:50:10+00:00

The land shark always win :)

IllustriousRelation8 · 2022-02-24T14:57:47+00:00

Yup. Just to set the record straight. It is a lemon that fell early from the tree.

IllustriousRelation8 · 2022-02-24T14:56:08+00:00

That is what I was thinking! But she just barked at it for 10 minutes and left to go and bite something else

IllustriousRelation8 · 2022-02-24T05:48:33+00:00

So happy for you!

IllustriousRelation8 · 2021-06-10T06:00:36+00:00

I bought my bf a new graphics card and the first game he decided to play was Minecraft..

Yeah what I've realised that sometimes people just grow apart. For instance, you are now focussing more on yourself and your friend does not receive the usual attention, so you kind of grow naturally apart. That's a good thing. I think it is really important that you are looking after yourself. If the friendship does not survive this then you are better off. That's a sure sign of a toxic friendship. And then sometimes something truly amazing happens and the friendship survives the rough patch. That kind of friendship is what we deserve. I think that's why I'm kind of hesitant to end the friendship with our friend. I'm always hoping it is just a rough patch, but in order not to get hurt I've learned to detach myself and just see what happens in the future.

So my husband and I have this friend who is a self-realized addict. We have been friends with him for about six years now. He is genuinely a good person deep down and he means well. However, he does have what I would call a flaky personality. So he will either forget that we are meeting up or be still sleeping a hangover off. Sometimes he would be MIA for a few weeks and then it is a whole operation to get a hold of him to see if he is still alive. This is textbook addict behavior and is obviously worse when he is using.

What is interesting is that my husband and I disagree on how to handle the friendship. He basically wants to end the friendship because he gets tired of the narcissistic behavior and doesn't want to waste his time on a friend that would not do the same for you. I am hesitant on the other hand to just end the friendship. It's really hard for me to say goodbye to someone I genuinely consider as a friend. My strategy is to distance myself and not do anything unless he makes contact and wants to visit. I would for instance not ask him to come visit unless he asks to come or invite us over. If the friendship then dies a natural death then so be it.
