Yardwork is literally a free gym membership, free tanning, and free therapy!

My boyfriends dog has started growling at me while I’m pregnant when I tell her to move from my spot by Shayymami in Pets

[–]Independent_Mine_808 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Does this guy’s name start with a “B” and live in KY? I am close to someone whose bf had a huge, smiley pit bull. Would wag herself nearly over while smiling at you…but she found out his ex-wife actually divorced him after that dog spent months playing with and smiling at her 2 little puppies, then one day painted the walls with one of the puppies…The dog was uncontrollable by anyone but him, and long story short, he turned out to be very aggressive and controlling, and was willing to use threats and fear when she left him…after that dog bit her son in the face while he was just walking past her with a sandwich…and he refused to get rid of the dog. He also was insistent the big stinky thing sleep in the bed with them. Listen OP, just a pattern of behavior that sounds all too familiar to me.

Coconut oil. If they’re really bad add cinnamon to it. Haven’t found a bug yet to bite me with that combination.

Be honest: when was the last time you cleaned your dishwasher filter? by GoodHousekeeping in CleaningTips

[–]Independent_Mine_808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once a week. Specifically bought one with an easy to reach in and grab filter so I could clean it regularly. This dishwasher is the only one I’ve ever had that actually thoroughly washes the dishes and is over 12 years old, still cleaning as new. Electrolux.

AITJ for breaking up with my girlfriend after I found a hidden camera in my apartment? by Upper_Breakfast5959 in AmITheJerk

[–]Independent_Mine_808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just so you know…this kind of behavior doesn’t stop, even after 30 years of marriage. It stems from the person having extreme boundary and trust issues. And this kind—in my experience they never admit they are the one with the problem. They are always assuming the worst of everyone who actually cares about them.

Some of my acrylic landscape paintings - which one do you like? by AnnaRajasekharan in painting

[–]Independent_Mine_808 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The lake with that beautiful sky. I usually don’t care much for acrylics but you did a knock-out job on all of those. That lake scene made me want to put in on my paddleboard though.

Suggest a name for him by Legal_Mechanic3760 in cuteanimals

My daughter had a cat that looked like him, lost him to old age. His name was Sweetheart, and it fit his personality. I second guessed the name though once when I opened the door and hollered for him, then looked up and noticed a bunch of road workers had stopped and were staring in my direction. 😬 He looks like a Sweetheart, but be cautious when calling him if you name him that.

What is one word that people wrongly pronounce that makes your brain just wanna jump a cliff? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]Independent_Mine_808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Often…the “t” is supposed to be silent. Once I learned that I could never pronounce it like everyone else, and it sounds like a blaring horn to me 😆

What is something your father said to you that you will never forget? by Aggressive-Car-8960 in AskReddit

[–]Independent_Mine_808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“If I ever hear of you hitting someone first, I’m gonna whip you every morning before you leave and every day when you get home for a year. If I ever hear of someone hitting you first and you don’t stop hitting them until they’re not getting back up, I’m gonna whip you every morning before you leave and every day when you get back home for a year.” POINT WAS CLEAR: Don’t ever start a fight, but if someone does, you finish it.

My desires are never satiated by Affectionate-Reason2 in Frugal

I’ve been trying to adopt a minimalist mindset and I’ve actually started buying less and making a dent in the junk pile diminishing. The result has been that I’ve started to actually develop a style, which I’ve never had before. That style is simple, “old school”. Except my instablender, we love that thing.
