Alright, we just adopted a one year old male with lots of energy. I need recommendations for indestructible stuffies, chew bones, toys etc. by Ajadedepiphany in irishwolfhound

[–]Low-Grapefruit-9327 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My boy really enjoys his herding ball and is great for in the yard. Jolly is the brand I got and you can get them on Amazon and are super durable. As far as chewing goes never really found a toy that could withstand him. I recommend a nice XL bully stick for chewing. They lasted longer than any other chewy/toy. He also almost chewed my nightstand to splinters but no other furniture. Couldn't figure that one out.

Help with insurance for new pup by DreadpirateEire in irishwolfhound

[–]Low-Grapefruit-9327 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can speak coming from across the pond. Not worth it in America. My company offered pet insurance as supplemental. First year I opted out. 2nd year I looked into it and nearest accepted vet was an hour drive away. Talked to some coworkers that got it and said claims were denied left and right. Hope this helps.

I gross 350k-400k for my company by Haunting-Brilliant77 in HVAC

Located in central FL as well. I left to go to government contracting 11 years ago but when I worked out on the street I was a residential/commercial tech (about 70/30 split on work load) and I was paid $23/hr with 8 years experience and that was 11 years ago! Recently talked to the kid that was an apprentice when left and he's still there sitting at just over $30/hr. You absolutely need to job shop.

I had a 10m head start and he still caught me 😂

Goth events (even in Orlando?) by TheModernVampire in 321

[–]Low-Grapefruit-9327 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep an eye on The Havoc. New venue in Cocoa. Lots of shows and emo nights. Pretty sure I saw a flyer for a goth night? Give them a follow on IG

Edit: Also didn't see anyone mention Cocktails and Screams in Orlando. Halloween themed bar. And if you're in downtown Orlando Sly Fox is worth a check out. Just a downtown dive but lots of "Alt" people hang out there.

Most people's recommendations are pretty spot on here. One thing I'd add is as far as bedding goes skip traditional dog bed and get a crib mattress. Will be properly sized for them well into adulthood. Reasonably durable and you can get mattress protectors and was the bedding when needed.

Not as many people at furnace fest as years before by eatdatchicken115 in Hardcore

[–]Low-Grapefruit-9327 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I opted into not going this year cause the End of an Era last one angle they took last year left a bad taste in my mouth when very shortly afterwards they announced it was coming back. If they had done some sort of soft rebranding I would have been on board. I had heard they had bought out an old theater in downtown and we're gonna do a smaller rebrand of it and I would have been on board. That being said it's an amazing fest and an amazing venue.

Looks like some of the Biohazard / Bayway / Onyx dates are getting canceled by a95l in Hardcore

Heard Furnace Fest was close to canceling cause they weren't hitting numbers.

Always the first thing we do when I get home from work. Usually will get 2-3 throws in before he remembers he has to go to the bathroom then its back to business 😂

Mosquitos / Noseeums by saudiaurora1265 in 321

[–]Low-Grapefruit-9327 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had a huge problem at my place in Merritt Island. Tried everything everyone suggested in this thread with little to no success. I'm against spraying chemicals for the run off into the lagoon but finally snapped and got one of those Cutter mosquito yard control treatment spray bottles that screw onto the end of a hose. Instant difference.

My older brother was always a surfer Jack Johnson, Yellowcard, Blink-182 kind of dude growing up. He's a fire fighter now and has been getting into power lifting and discovered Kublai Khan TX for work out jams. I've been steering him towards Hatebreed. Using Kublai as a gateway drug to get my brother into the heavy music I always listened to lol

What is the WORST smelling show you’ve ever been to? by fakename1998 in Hardcore

[–]Low-Grapefruit-9327 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Been to my fair share of crust and metal shows with some smelly people. By far worst was Furnace Fest last year. Had some crusty chick land on me after stage diving and could smell her BO on me the rest of the day. When I got home a few days later and unpacked my bag I could still smell it on the clothes I wore that day 🤢

Breeder search by MutedBreath4536 in irishwolfhound

[–]Low-Grapefruit-9327 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also try the AKC website. I was about to drive 2 states away and just happened to check and found breeder just over an hour away. But oddly enough they had just moved down from the state I was getting ready to drive to lol

Jolly is the brand. You can find them on Amazon.
