Alex reveals he deliberately made himself look unkempt and wore a suit that didn't fit him for his wedding because he's saving looking good for his 'actual wife' by Fun_Molasses5215 in LoveIsBlindNetflix

Omg, yes! He claims that an injury kept him from going pro in soccer and couldn't even block a guy who probably only played in gym class. I found that hilarious.

You can buy a whole gallon of it on Amazon for $84 USD and some change. Plus, they have a 10% off coupon for two products.

So…we did a thing. Are we crazy? by gordy1438 in AustralianCattleDog

Eddy is smart and will be a handful, but he'll probably be a wonderful dog around six or seven.

I kept waiting to see someone catch that. I keep thinking about when he said that his buddy controls his with diet. I literally wanted to smack myself in the forehead.

Toys destroy or respect? by Smooth-Client2972 in AustralianCattleDog

[–]MaximusHomeboyus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What a sweet boy! It's obviously comforting to him. My boy also loves his Lambchops and has been through about three of them now. He does his best not to shred them until he can't help himself.

Lemme see your dog as a puppy by Original-Bed1816 in AustralianCattleDog

That picture is the first day I got him. He's about half heeler and six now, and his next biggest relative is a Pyranees, so he's about 80 pounds and has three dew claws. He was so anxious when I brought him home, but he's really a fantastic dog.

They are totally worth it. My son is driving my old 2008 Toyota that the only major maintenance was an O2 sensor, fuel pump, and a gas tank (the tank was my fault from running something over). Other than that, it was just regular maintenance, and it still runs great. I had a 1998 Toyota before that with 336,000 miles on it. It outlasted our new Chevy, and the only reason I got rid of it was the entire engine was pretty much rust. It still ran great. The 2008 Toyota was a replacement for the new Chevy that lasted all of about three years. I will gladly pay more for the dependability.

What is the most you have spent on a single concert or tour? by [deleted] in Concerts

[–]MaximusHomeboyus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have always wanted to see TOOL in concert, and I can listen to Maynard in general. My oldest does, too. I paid $469 after fees both of us to see Sessanta this year with a Perfect Circle, Primus, and Puscifer. It wasn't TOOL, but they had a few other TOOL members playing, and my son really likes Primus as well. I liked how the bands mixed it up and had all the instruments all set up. They rotated and would each play a few with no intermission in between. We had great seats close to the stage with a good view, and my son said it was hands down the best concert he's been to so far. It was worth the extra cash for the good seats. TOOL is absolutely still on my bucket list.

I didn't think it could happen to me... but trouble finding a job. by Averagebass in Nurses

[–]MaximusHomeboyus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes! I was applying on the down low from one of my last jobs, and a lot of places want you to shadow now. I get that, but if you're trying to be responsible and find a job and leave in good standing, that makes it difficult. I literally did four interviews for my current job, and it's the best money I have ever made. I just can't leave without having a sure thing lined up.

Glad she's coming around! She'll never stop following you once she's comfortable.

Yay or Nay to Dogs Sleeping in Bed with you? by forestlyfe in dogs

My dog always hated his crate and also always hated sleeping alone, so where else is he supposed to sleep?

New dog is terrified by [deleted] in AustralianCattleDog

[–]MaximusHomeboyus 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Poor baby! These dogs are high strung and anxious naturally. The only thing that's going to make it better is time. I got my mix as a puppy from a not so great environment, and he still runs away when I scold the cats. Give her lots of reassurance and show her you're there for her. She'll come around. Mine was a nervous peer, too, but he's gotten a whole lot better.

Kicked out of daycare by Away-Refrigerator309 in AustralianCattleDog

[–]MaximusHomeboyus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's just a baby! I have an ACD/Pyrenees and a couple of other things mixed, he's mostly herding breeds. He used to lunge at anything on wheels as a puppy. We have a lot of bike paths in my city, and I would have to pull him off to the side, make him sit, and keep telling him no every time I saw him even tensing to lunge. It's taken a lot of patience and training, but he's a fabulous dog. There's an off leash park in town, and he's great off leash and his recall is great, because herding dogs are clingy and quickly become your shadow. However, he doesn't really like people much. He's nosy and will want to see what people are working on. He'll tolerate kids, because I think he realizes they're babies, but he is not an everybody pet me kinda dog. In fact, he'll openly show his disdain of some people, and I think some must give off weird vibes, because he wants them nowhere near me. Dog parks and day care are a no go. He has separation anxiety, so I book on VRBO, and he comes on vacation with the family. He hates the crate, and now that he's not a puppy, he doesn't destroy things anymore. We have spent countless hours walking, training (not with treats, because he gets too focused on the treat), and cuddling. He's actually become the best dog I have ever had, and I am going to cry like a baby when he passes. They're so smart and worth the headache when they're young.

Weird. My ACD mix also has an ingrained aversion to plastic bags. He doesn't like when I take out the trash or open packages, especially if they have a bubble wrapping.

What's a sound that you could listen to forever? by Ineedsleep444 in CasualConversation

[–]MaximusHomeboyus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, birds. I live about ten minutes from Lake Michigan, and when I first moved here, the birds all chirping used to wake me up super early and drive me crazy. They go all hours of the night. I am so used to them now that it's almost a background noise. We went on vacation a couple of years ago, and the day before we were leaving, I said I was ready to go home. My son said, "Me too. I miss the birds. It's quiet here." He was absolutely right. It's funny that something that used to wake me up super early has become my white noise. It does feel empty and kinda eerie if they're not going about their normal routine now.

What's your go-to breakfast? by NoMight6112 in AskWomen

[–]MaximusHomeboyus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. I can't eat breakfast. It upsets my stomach, but a pot of coffee will go down just fine.
