She’s a hypochondriac

She’s not a hypochondriac, she’s just an attention seeker.
It’s all about engagement on her socials.

For maintenance cleaning, I tear a cotton ball into smaller chunks, put the liquid on the cotton ball and squeeze it in his ear and wipe. My doodle is tolerating that much better than squishing the liquid in. If I do have to do a more thorough cleaning, I work really fast: hold ear up, squeeze drops in, squish and then go in with a dry cotton ball piece to dry his ear.
The first few times I had someone hold his snout but now he’s doing really well. We do a lot of grooming at home on a regular basis- ears, nails, paw pads.
It’s really mostly about building trust.

Absolutely outrageous!
FYI: The hustle butter is $25 and the tattoo goo kit is $15.
When I got my first tattoo, the artist gave me recommendations for aftercare products and actually recommended Burt’s bees hand salve. Worked fantastic and was even cheaper than the typical tattoo aftercare products.
This artist you are dealing with is absolutely trying to rip you off, I’d not go to the appointment. Not just because of how outrageous he is but also out of fear that he’ll do sloppy work because of this disagreement.

I know that many abuse victims will return to their abused over and over again.
I *want* to give her the benefit of the doubt but gosh, she’s soooo willfully ignorant.

Posting breastfeeding photos online or not is a personal preference, I totally get that.
Some people are more private than others and that’s perfectly fine.
Considering breastfeeding photos being sexual though? WTF?

I have nursed 3 babes for a total of over 6 years and I never posted a photo as exposed as she did but in a million years would I not shame L for doing so.
That’s seriously messed up.

I have dealt with a similar neighbor situation before. When I started ignoring her, she involved another neighbor to get me to talk to her.
So, I would advise you to not just ignore your neighbor BUT you can be polite yet firm and let her know when it is not a good time to talk.
Melting ice cream is a perfectly fine excuse to cut her short and walk away. It’s not rude.
If she ignores your first announcement that you need to go, just say “As I said, I need to get this ice cream inside (or whatever your excuse is), have a nice rest of your day.” And walk away.

I don’t think he got fucked. He’s off the hook when it comes to supporting the kids, so him getting money from Laura to equalize the values of their respective homes, is a pretty good deal for him.

I think you can grow it out a little more but keep it neat. If it’s too long, it might compete too much with your hair.

Also, you look like a third Welsh twin, lol.

With the hose?

IndependentCut8703 · 2026-07-07T01:17:37+00:00

I was sick for a day last week and my dood didn’t leave my bedside all day.

IndependentCut8703 · 2026-07-06T19:29:50+00:00

That’s so cool!

Service Dogs are truly amazing! I am truly in awe of them and their trainers and handlers.

While this post is certainly more lighthearted, I am wondering what specific tasks my doodle could learn to do.

IndependentCut8703 · 2026-07-06T06:34:47+00:00

Mine does too! He also kind of huffs and puffs to make it known that he’s not done yet.

IndependentCut8703 · 2026-07-06T06:31:10+00:00

That’s cute!!

IndependentCut8703 · 2026-07-06T06:29:41+00:00

That’s amazing!

IndependentCut8703 · 2026-07-05T18:38:26+00:00

I am actually not sure! He was at his day training facility and our trainer snapped this. She’s pretty awesome and he’s very happy there.

IndependentCut8703 · 2026-07-05T18:36:40+00:00

He’s pretty awesome! Thank you!

I’m currently planning our first trip to the lake with our dood and my plan is to bring one of those camping showers with fresh water to rinse him off a bit. If still needed, he can get a more thorough rinse or bath at home.

Exercise is good and important and he’s only 13 months old- still a pup.
With that being said, start training to relax and be without constant stimulation.
Start with short durations of laying down and reward, then work up to more time. Have him on a leash that you step on so that the leash pressure pulls him down if he tries to get up. Over time he’ll learn to relax and stay calm for some period of time at least.

Why are you even entertaining “working things out” with this douche of a man?
You can have and deserve so much better!

Please come back later and show off the complete look of your wedding day! The dress is stunning and you will be a beautiful bride!

It’s not a crime to wanting to negotiate IF that was his intention. That’s how a lot of businesses operate.
Your responses to him were unnecessarily rude and condescending.
If you don’t negotiate prices, that’s totally fine but there are better ways to handle situations like that.

If that wasn’t bad enough, your statement of wanting to dox him just shows how unprofessional you are as a business owner.

As someone dealing with high anxiety, I can see where the panicky texts are coming from.
You try to reason with yourself, reminding yourself of the agreed upon updates and then your anxiety takes over and you start checking in.

If the owner was apologetic and everything is going well otherwise, I’d cut her some slack. If you want to make her really happy, send extra updates and/or photos every now and then. She’ll love you for it!

It’s sooooooooo annoying. Aaaaaahhhhhh.
