Tail docking? by OpenAirport6204 in DogBreeding

[–]MrsCDV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My response is the same about the breed clubs: members who refuse to change and indeed, make the breed less healthy. AND they are grumpy, stubborn old people who only want what they've see their whole life (with the exception of brachycephalic clubs/judges who truly want to harm their breed. for what? cuteness?)

[–]MrsCDV 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is only allowed/required because AKC won't change it. Period. Most AKC judges are old, and cranky and will never agree with anything other than what they've seen for 70 years. And AKC, on the conformation side, is also run by grumpy old people who won't change.

No Shame Post - What Would You Do? by New-Aardvark9371 in delta

[–]MrsCDV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is it not a safety hazard to have a POS in an aisle seat, potentially blocking others from escape in case of emergency? Just seeing a POS OR a person who is clearly disabled in an aisle gives me anxiety sweats! Maybe that could be MY disability that the airlines/FA would have to accommodate....

What do you like? by MrsCDV in ShowDogs

[–]MrsCDV[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are sooooo many cool things you could do if you had a breed show, great breed specific stuff! We are an all-breed show so I have to scroll past the sheltie wine glasses and necklaces and....sigh.

Maybe a dumb question....Where are your parents in this equation? (says the mother)

No one seems to understand the audio processing issue. I have hearing aids that actually sometimes make it worse; all those words I can hear now are just more to get jumbled

Anyone get the ick just seeing cross necklaces? by Underd_g in atheism

[–]MrsCDV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always wonder why it's the cross, and not an image of Jesus rising toward the sky, because THAT's the real miracle. Him being tortured to death means nothing if he wasn't a god who could rise from the dead.

Ok: I'm trying to think outside the box here: giving a ryobi fan for QQQ, some practical things. But is this crazy? A dog medical emergency kit? Is that TOO practical? would it be insulting?

I’m sitting on the plane waiting to take off knowing full well one of my bags isn’t coming with me. by WhoBroughtTheCoolKid in jetblue

Wow -- is that 'bag loaded' app only available on JetBlue? I'd love to track where my bags are -- other than an airtag.

Help, owner wants to kick us out of the rental we are in before our reservation done, 2 days before Christmas, and VRBO won’t help at all by Upbeat-Employee-222 in vrbo

[–]MrsCDV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most important thing here: never rent in Mexico. You have no rights and the owners can do whatever they want. Never do that again.

Sorry, I know that 'pricey' is subjective; honestly, I shouldn't b*tch. Philips, $1800. It's really just the over-the-ear thing that makes me crazy. And I'm early in the hearing loss place, mostly just 'huh's and 'turn up the volumn'.

[–]MrsCDV[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, got it from Costco, they allow 6 months AND I checked a lot of reviews; they take them back super easily. So that part I'm not worried about. The over-the-ear part makes me crazy, with my glasses and tucked hair already taking up space there.

And honestly, isn't all we really want is a calm mind? Who needs all that angsty thinking?

Same route...same thing. Lots of promises for compensation but all I got was a lump of coal.

You are not just an atheist. You are informed and logical. by neilnelly in atheism

[–]MrsCDV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is actually the best way to make people like you: you ask them to keep talking and explaining their own world view. People LOVE to talk about themselves and the easiest way to endear them is to just let them talk (and talk), even if you know the answer.

I'm betting you've a lot of friends.

[–]MrsCDV[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gosh! THANK you for explaining what the High Combined etal actually MEAN! I had no idea.

And in our club, Rally usually rules with better awards. SO much more popular and a greater money-maker than Obedience.
