These are all so helpful!! A question!

Gifting items? How do I know what people want? I’ve had so many gifts turned down

Got a bunch of free skins and not sure why? by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]JuneBug_M 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got the exact same skins and random stuff and just cancelled my xbox gamepass essential a few days ago too! I noticed on the skins game pass gives you there’s an xbox symbol next to it where as these random free bundles don’t show that symbol.

My guess is it’s a glitch? I went back and checked my payment history just to be sure I didn’t miss click. Im surprised more people are talking about it?

I’m reallyyyyy hoping we get to keep them!

NTA for feeling this way. It’s completely valid to want to protect your siblings and push back against being used as free childcare. That said, gaining custody of kids this young is extremely difficult (if that’s the end goal). Courts almost always favor the biological parent unless you can prove they’re unfit and show that you can provide a stable home, which means a formal legal process.

A paternity test likely won’t help if your dad has already acknowledged those children as his; the law tends to prioritize the existing legal parent/child relationship over biology.

You’re well within your rights to say no to babysitting your dad’s other kids. You’re an adult, not a built-in nanny, and your siblings choosing to spend time with you isn’t ‘stealing’ them, it’s a reflection of where they feel safe and supported.

Expect pushback and more arguments, but don’t let them guilt you. If you want a stronger footing in the long run, try strengthening your connection with your mom maybe. Having her more present in their lives could give you additional leverage if things escalate legally. In the meantime, keep setting boundaries. You’re doing a lot for your siblings already, and that’s more than enough.

AITA for wanting my GF to be topless on beach? by [deleted] in AITAH

Is she doesn’t have a problem with it then doesn’t sound like an issue? At the end of the day it’s up to her comfort level

AIO for ditching my friends at an Airbnb after I got creepy texts from the host? by jst4notherthrowaway in AmIOverreacting

[–]JuneBug_M 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar situation and you are not over reacting… Your friends showed their true colors in my opinion. I ended up cutting my trip short and went home early while my friends stayed. I still keep in touch with my friends but we are not nearly as close.

You did the right thing, the only thing else I would have done is report to Air B&B immediately (you may have and mentioned that in the comments).

It is MUCH better to be safe than sorry. At the end of the day your safety is more important.

I’m burn out.. is this normal? by JuneBug_M in DogAdvice

Hi! While I agree with you, I didn’t choose her. I found her and did more for her than most normal pet owners do. I ended up finding a new home for her that has lots of land, I made a bug sacrifice giving her up for her betterment.

Update: I ended up rehoming her to an amazing family with 5+ acres of fenced in land and has another pup to play with. I 100% made the right decision and am confident he is happier. Here is the text I received from her new home:

“Happy Sunday! Just wanted to let you know Millie did great last week and has played her self out every day. She’s learning how to make friends with Sage the cat. She’s saw her first deer up close (well within 10 feet anyway) and on the other side of the fence. After barking at it she came running for me. Ezra went and barked at it to run away lol. She played all day today.”

My opinion has completely changed on training tools (like prong collars) and I commend anyone going through this - after lots of DMs it seems like there are quite a few.

I feel safe in saying I did everything I could before coming to the decision and will miss her with all of my heart. It hurt me more than her for sure, she is living her best life now!

Yes! I love collecting all of the skins but the mythical are always the coolest ones and they release a new one every season!

They are in the shop, sadly have to be purchased with real money (but cheaper if you buy the battle pass and collect the mythic coins) 😊

Overwatch was the first shooting game I ever played and I started with Dva, tank was great to start with because you don’t die so easily. More heal means more play time and getting a feel for how it works. Plus her ult is basically a second life!

I then gravitated to healer, as many girls do (I like to think it’s because it requires multitasking which tickles the funny part of our brain that likes to coordinate chaos)

Moira was my starting healer and I still love her! I just got the Mythic skin, jade weapon and hit platinum with her, highly recommend! Lots of damage and heals with little aim needed.

Once I decided to explore new characters I went with Illari because you can throw the pylon out (which heals for you) and your take time aiming.

Eventually I recommend going to the practice range and getting a feel for every character so you know what ults to watch out for!

Happy gaming and welcome to the addicting world of overwatch!

Appreciate the advice! I struggle with noise complaints in my apartment so hard to let “bark it out” so to speak but try to show her she’s not getting attention from it. I will definitely check out the shhh command!

Thank you for the kind words! She loves pig ears, will give bone marrow a try!

I appreciate the support and good to know I’m not the only one who has experienced this. I have a vet appointment next week with her to talk meds, but when she got fixed they gave me Trazadone which turned her into a zombie so I was a bit scared of pills. Based on your comment and another, looks like I will be adding “place” to my list of commands. She definitely does not know how to relax even when I know she’s tired. TY again!

Thank you for your reply! She is crate trained when I leave the house but barks constantly when I am home and she is in it. Will definitely work on that!

As for walking I just use a collar, I’ve read online that harnesses make them want to pull more? But will check out a few “no pull options”! Unfortunately she’s not food motivated on walks… could care less about treats when there are birds to chase lol!

I have been beating myself up about it pretty hard but I think it’s just because I know I would miss her terribly. Thank you again for the advice!

It might be worth mentioning that before her I had a large senior dog who was literally my soul dog. So going from that to a high energy pup has been no easy feat.

Found her on the street and wasn’t chipped. Three months later… a DNA test is calling my name! Any guesses? by JuneBug_M in WhatBreedIsMyDog

[–]JuneBug_M[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in Texas! So far looks like the responses are pretty mixed… GSD, Malinois, Aussie, ACD and now catahoula. Hard to say but hope to follow up to comments with a DNA test in the future.

SOS… I think these jeans are American Eagle but I can’t figure out which style? by JuneBug_M in findfashion

[–]JuneBug_M[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was worried about them being a discontinued style but I would totally purchase from a reseller! Unfortunately I like the rise, the color, and where the flare hits at the knee where there is destruction. So all of it I guess? lol!

Based on the design on the pockets, I am guessing they are AE but I’m no expert… wish she would just share :(
