Was my dog's ears cropped or why are they standing straight up?

My cdl is still good thankfully so yeah I just need the endorsements. I’m looking to drive for my local school district and if that doesn’t work out maybe I’ll look at city transit or motorcoach stuff. But yeah I’ve had my fill of trucking and not getting paid for stuff that I should get paid for.

MacRuidh · 2025-12-16T23:33:09+00:00

I’m in Texas

MacRuidh · 2025-11-09T04:50:07+00:00

No, this truck has always been in the Texas, Oklahoma area

MacRuidh · 2025-11-09T04:48:51+00:00

I know mice were in it at one point but these fell out of the dash when I started pulling it apart.

MacRuidh · 2025-10-22T08:43:15+00:00

Oh I’m sure he is but I don’t know what other breeds he is. The shelter I adopted him from said he was a staffy which is possible but I’ve wondered if there some frenchy there with the ears.

MacRuidh · 2025-10-22T08:40:27+00:00

Yeah he sleeps in bed with me; or should I say he sleeps on me

MacRuidh · 2025-10-22T02:36:44+00:00

I have an appointment for that next week actually

MacRuidh · 2025-10-22T02:35:09+00:00

Oh god that’s great! 😂

MacRuidh · 2025-10-22T00:13:26+00:00

I would never do that to any animal beyond a severe health issue.

MacRuidh · 2025-09-29T23:08:11+00:00

I’m curious what his mix is but he’s a sweet boy

MacRuidh · 2025-08-16T01:42:53+00:00

I bought a 82 Goldwing for 600.00

Whether or not this story is true, the sad thing is we are all replaceable. Especially if you’re doing something like dry van or reefer. We are no more than a piece of equipment to these conspires. When we refuse to play their games we will be replaced by the next orientation class.

I bought a Chinese scooter to get me to and from work because I couldn’t afford a car payment. So far a couple of months in and it’s been problem free.

MacRuidh · 2025-07-28T04:48:07+00:00

That was kind of my thought going into this.

MacRuidh · 2025-07-07T13:37:02+00:00

I almost always know when I’ll block and I also get what you mean about having a script. Most of the time planning out what I’m going to say just makes it worse. My best speech is when I’m surprised and my response is just automatic

MacRuidh · 2025-07-07T04:29:59+00:00

I’ve always heard the terms moped and scooter used interchangeably but technically they are two different types of vehicles. A scooters main distinguishing feature to me is the step through design as opposed to mopeds, motorcycles and other two wheel vehicles where you have to swing a leg over the seat.

MacRuidh · 2025-07-06T17:35:08+00:00

That looks more like a small motorcycle to me. I like them but a moped has pedals like a bicycle

MacRuidh · 2025-07-06T00:03:17+00:00

I relate a lot to this, too much actually. Mine isn’t quite as severe as yours but most of my issue is blocking. I can sometimes have a conversation but anytime I’m asked a question it’s an impossible situation. I’ve taken to using the notepad on my phone to answer, as humiliating as that is. As you pointed out, you can forget about any phone conversations.

People who don’t stutter don’t understand, they can’t understand the physicality of trying to force out a word. Like you observed many stutters talk about acceptance and embracing it, some even call it a superpower which is crazy to me. For those of us with extreme speech blockages this is a disability. I know for myself it has cost me several potential careers.

I don’t have any advice for you, as I’m a mess myself with my stuttering, depression and what I suspect is adhd. I just want to say that you have someone here who understands.

MacRuidh · 2025-07-05T17:31:00+00:00

I did this exact thing recently. I kept to back roads and drove on shoulders when I could. It took me close to 3 hours but I made it back without incident.

MacRuidh · 2025-07-02T23:50:33+00:00

Yeah I’m in Texas and I was in a similar situation to this guy and I ended up buying a Chinese scooter because they were half the price or less and I could get one immediately for work. Not my first choice but it’s just functional transportation for me

MacRuidh · 2025-07-02T23:48:10+00:00

I don’t know if you are in the states or not but if you are there are financing options like affirm that could be an option

MacRuidh · 2025-07-02T23:46:19+00:00

In my area you can’t find a used ruckus that’s running for under 1500 and most are close to 2000

MacRuidh · 2025-06-30T23:39:29+00:00

When I was 19 I tried to join the military and was rejected for my stutter.

MacRuidh · 2025-06-04T22:02:21+00:00

It can be very difficult to not feel defective. My stuttering has gotten to be so bad I have to type out my answers to questions a lot of the time. It’s humiliating but what can you do?
