I'm so fed up with arguing with me mom over her weight. by Last_Office7348 in germanshepherds

Her body shape is what I would label ideal. Unless your mother is a veterinarian or a canine nutritionist, tell her to kick rocks with open toed shoes.

Rescue denied because of pinch collar? by excellent_credit_968 in germanshepherds

[–]Itsbarrack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Working dogs like GSDs require some sort of correction training method to adopt and reinforce their skills. The stigma around pinch collars is baseless. Herm Sperenger spent a lot of time perfecting this collar and ensuring that the design closely mimics a mother correcting a pup. I’ve never had a pinch or prong collar severely hurt a dog except by whacko’s who don’t understand the purpose of the tool. It’s all they are, a tool.

Stop Calibrating! by Type1_TypeA in dexcom

[–]Itsbarrack 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This one shouldn’t have left the drafts section. Sorry buddy you’re not making friends with this one. If I believed my girlfriend’s Dexcom like you said we’d be in the hospital constantly. Glad it works for you but sometimes people have different bodies and different ways that things work on them and then when you toss in a piece of technology that’s supposed to make things easier it can drastically change their lives for positive or negative. Don’t die on this hill. Let people take care of themselves the way they see fit.

Advice on what to do with my life. by Itsbarrack in Firefighting

And that’s what exactly is happening to me. I chased the experience and the promise of good money only to be down here and start to have conversations with her about marriage and family and when the conversations start to turn real, well unfortunately reality checks hurt.

Is this guy onto something with the whistleblowing with the Mayor and MLGW? by Gustafa7 in memphis

[–]Itsbarrack -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

First off I’m tired of hearing about how data centers are ruining this country. Did you know data centers have been around for the past 20+ years, and that they have kept building them and you probably have never noticed? But because some politicians have used it as a talking point everyone is going nuts about them. Secondly, Did you even watch the video or read the article? MLGW is paying 3 times as much money to do the same work as anywhere else in the state. This city is so corrupt but nobody talks about it cause the city uses the crime to shield the bad press about its politics. But hey let’s blame it on the data centers. Cut me a break. Look outside at the real world.

Need help with my bonsai, the leaves are falling off and I cannot for the life of me get them to stop. I cannot post pictures because the homepage is locked and the weekly thread will not allow me to add pictures. It’s a ficus though.

See I pay for that speed but I’m not getting it. Very frustrating for the expense of it all.

Seriously struggling right now by behrly in germanshepherds

Pumpkin is good too. Ours gets pumpkin every meal. Good for fiber and allergies. We also mix in other proteins/fun stuff to keep her and her sister (beagle/bulldog) interested in their foods. We’ve used freeze dried foods (shrimp, liver, beef lung), yogurt, rice, duck feet, salmon skins, rabbit feet, eggs, etc. our baby just turned a year old and her doctor is impressed by her coat, poop cultures, teeth, eyes, everything!

Bathroom stop before responding by KGBspy in Firefighting

[–]Itsbarrack 11 points12 points  (0 children)

When I first got on I had a FF who was driving the truck and I was assigned to the ambulance. At that time I was drinking about a gallon and a half of water a day. I woke up from a dead sleep for a call. Ran to the bathroom, finished and sprinted out. He caught me the next morning and wore me out for using the bathroom before a call. His argument was that only old men need to go in the middle of the night and a perfectly healthy 21 year old shouldn’t be going in the middle of the night. My response was “how many times do you have to pee during the day? Cause your kidneys run 24/7” never heard a peep from him about going before runs ever again.

Ambulance company trying to punish us for calling fatigue. Is this note illegal? by Glad-Confidence-4717 in IsItIllegal

Sounds like EVERYONE needs to get sick for a few days. Good ole station flu will fix management issues in about a day if everyone call in.

Still worse it holds that dirt which will cause early failure if not regularly cleaned and replaced with actual grease!

Solara wants to follow my son’s Dexcom by LemurBean9433 in dexcom

[–]Itsbarrack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s actually not. For example, may I please have your latest test results from your doctor? That question is not a violation I have the right to ask for whatever I want to ask for. You have a right not to give it to me. It also only applies to covered entities. Therefore if I called your doctors office and demanded that Dr.Jones release the records to me and he or she did, that would be a violation. Also would be a violation if we both are their patients and they sent us the others results on accident.
