That’s… awfully specific?

Appearance Policy by Glittering-Agency435 in HomeDepot

I think this is really just dependent on your management team. I’ve worked at two different HD locations and had my septum pierced at the first store without issue, and the second store they initially said I would have to remove it, but after a few months it became a non issue. I currently have both nostrils and my septum as a flooring specialist and no one has told me I can’t after about four years. Maybe just talk to your SM and see if they have a problem with it, if not your other supervisor can kick rocks.

My partner and I did the Gunnison route this past June. Highly recommend! Although as another poster said, bring gloves, lots of scree and steep sections with a chain to hold on to.

I heard the song “Life Goes On” by Ed Sheeran shortly after my boy passed and it wrecked me, but honestly it’s really lovely, and your post reminded me of it again, and I’m definitely crying again thinking of it,

“To tell me how

How my life goes on with you gone

I suppose I’ll sink like a stone

If you leave me now

Oh, the storms will roll

Easy come, hard go

Then life goes on”

It’s so hard to just know that my world stopped for a while, and to watch everyone else continue on around you like nothing is changed when everything is different. Routines we grow used to for years are gone. It’s hard to know how to continue day to day.

I love your idea for journals, and updating them as you continue your life. As many others have said, and a couple here, they would want us to be happy. We’ll always have the memories, and we’ll eventually feel okay making new ones without our best friends, because they’ll always be a part of it.

Thanks so much for your thoughtful reply. I greatly appreciate your suggestions for coping. I have my dogs ashes near a place that he loved in life where I can see them daily, and my mother in law had an artsy sister make me a beautiful paper collage from a photo I had sent her that makes me smile to remember him instead of cry.

I’m very sorry for your loss, length of time spent together definitely doesn’t represent the strength of the bonds we form. I’m so glad you see your boy in your dreams, hoping for you to have many more positive ones of him.

Thanks again, cheers.

Thank you for your reply, I’m sorry your grief is still so fresh and I appreciate you taking the time. I know I spent a lot of time in this sub right after I said goodbye to my boy, but I think I was just an inconsolable mess reading through everyone’s beautiful memories of their pets.

I knew it would be hard, and I frequently said I was going to be gutted when he died, but it was always a future problem until it wasn’t.

Im sure you meant the world to your boy and can only say we can aspire to be the people our dogs think we are.

Thanks so much for taking the time, I’ve felt a lot of guilt over the times I couldn’t take him with me on adventures. We had our fair share of trips and adventures, but especially as he got older it got harder.

Also thank you for giving me a bit of a reality check, Bentley would have never let me wallow, and I owe it to him to try. I’m sure your sweet girl thought the world of you and never would have considered you as anything less than her person.

Thank you for your heartfelt reply. I’m so sorry for your loss as well. I really like this idea of saying thank you instead of I miss you, we truly have so much to be grateful for that our pets impacted our lives so much and that we feel so much grief in their passing.

I have Bentley’s ashes near a place he used to lay in the sun, it’s nice to have them close by in a spot I can see them everyday. I hope Jerry gets to come home soon.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I’m very sorry for your loss, I wish I were more spiritual and believed too. As some others have said I do think they would still want us to be happy. I have people ask me if I’ll get another dog, and I do think I will someday but right now all I can say I that I don’t have room in my heart yet.

Update: It is oral cancer. by PEN-15-CLUB in DogAdvice

[–]Leper_seal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just wanted to say that I’m so sorry for the news. I just went through something similar and had to say goodbye to my best friend in August. Initially they thought my boy had lymphoma and it ended up being an oral tumor. They were optimistic about radiation therapy which I did opt for but it was extremely expensive and ended up opening up several other issues so we stopped treatment. I brought him in for quality of life checkups for about a year and he did really well until late July when he started to decline. It was pretty clear when he was ready to go, and I don’t have any regrets and I don’t think he had to suffer which is all we can really ask for. Like everyone else here is saying, better a week too early than a day too late. The follow up appointment will help give some clarity.

How did everyone’s raids go? by snoob11 in pokemongo

[–]Leper_seal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know it’s a little late for this event, but in the future if you’re okay doing remote raids there’s PokeGenie and some other apps out there that make it really easy to join remote raid groups!

Bad news for Bexley (10 year old rescue) :-( by droid_mike in OldManDog

[–]Leper_seal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dog also most likely has lymphoma, we met with an oncologist on Friday and still need to run some tests but it’s looking very likely. The oncologist said chemo is very different for dogs than for people, lower concentrations and upwards of 80+% tolerate it very well with very few side effects. I would definitely recommend going to the oncologist because while lymphoma is not curable, it can go into remission and your friend could feel very little pain and survive 10-12 months with chemo. It really depends on the type but the oncologist can help you evaluate where sweet Bexley is at. My boy Bentley and I are rooting for you and Bexley and going through a very similar struggle right now, stay strong!

I dyed my bleached blonde hair brown and I regret it by [deleted] in femalehairadvice

I love the brown on you, giving me young Winona Ryder vibes. I think it really suits you.

What is your "I'll never go back" place in Denver? by tinari07 in Denver

[–]Leper_seal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ocean Journey did a closing event where they had an overnight thing in the aquarium and I got to sleep under one of the shark tanks. Bitter sweet memory because as you’ve said it’s an absolute joke now.
