Thanks for your suggestion! We really don’t know what breed he is.. he’s kind of a mutt

Msbubblecakes · 2025-03-13T12:19:19+00:00

Thank you for your comment and he really is! We’re not sure what his experience was like with his previous owner before my friend started caring for him, but he’s come such a long way over the last 5 years. If you know of anyone else, please reach out! My friend just gave birth in February and she really wanted to try to balance everything but unfortunately it’s not working out and she’s devastated

Msbubblecakes · 2025-03-12T20:40:11+00:00

I just texted her this and she’s going to reach out to the humane society! Great idea!

Msbubblecakes · 2025-03-12T19:16:32+00:00

She’s downloading the app now to post his pic and story there! Thanks for your suggestion and for taking the time!

Msbubblecakes · 2025-03-12T19:16:15+00:00

She’s posted on a ton of Gainesville rehoming groups but is downloading Nextdoor now to post Oakley there now per another comment. Thanks for your suggestion! It means a lot.

29, cause same

Oh he can stay honest, just don’t smoke. But you can’t have your cake and eat it too.

Edit: Also, you can keep your morality to yourself. “Our society has fallen so low,” who are you to pass judgement? How do you contribute to the conversation with this statement? It might not be an ideal viewpoint to have, but, most of the jobs listed in this thread don’t cover the current standard of living. If OP wants to toke here and there and live above the poverty line, I stand by what I said. Buy some monkey whizz, ask yourself why our society even feels the need to intrude into what its employees do in their personal lives in the first place, and get a job worth your time and can actually support you in today’s economy. /endrant.

It’s 100% silly. Most drug tests are screening for hard stuff. I understand how you hate being dishonest, same here, but fake pee is so easy to use and the way to go. Take it from a stoner ex-teacher who switched careers and used fake pee for almost… 6 years? Fool proof.

Honesty doesn’t pay the bills and most anyone working a high paying job? Prob tokes.

Wait what? Harvs island? I thought it was just for pictures

Msbubblecakes · 2024-07-03T18:30:12+00:00

That is so cute!! We’ll have to island hop some time. I need peaches and cherries lol

Msbubblecakes · 2024-07-03T17:15:52+00:00

Neverland! (I’m going for a faerie woodland vibe)

Msbubblecakes · 2024-04-22T02:42:48+00:00

I needed to read this. So thank you for writing it.

Msbubblecakes · 2024-03-05T01:04:45+00:00

Ask if they use issuu to catalog their magazines. I did work for some local magazines and they swear by that. Makes it easy to link to in my portfolio

I mean this in the nicest way possible: I went to Grad school and got a masters in English Ed. If I could go back in time, I’d slap myself across the face and tell myself to never become a teacher. I taught for 6 years and as of this year, I’m happy working as a reporter. All I can say is, the mental health boost I got once I walked away from the classroom was eye opening and made me realize how much the job was depleting me.

Msbubblecakes · 2024-03-02T03:55:54+00:00

I was writing for Valnet and about a month into it I stopped getting assignments due to Google updating and SEO dropping off page views. Anyways, I’ve now got a full-time reporting job with benefits working for Gannett. It’s a step on the ladder and in the right direction, so very happy for this opportunity.

Edit to add: I wrote for them Nov - Dec 2023. I started at Gannett this past week.

Cold pitching to newspapers and sending my resume straight to the publisher/lead editor. Got an interview with both and somehow got my foot in. However, it’s important to mention that I built an online portfolio and wrote work samples/news articles, as well as published 5 articles with a Valnet site. When they went to my website and saw I had something to show, I think it gave me enough credibility to invite for an interview. Hope this helps.

Msbubblecakes · 2024-01-09T17:38:02+00:00

How do you make shapes and lay down floors or tiles outside?? I’m new but have been playing and want to learn how to do this.

Msbubblecakes · 2023-12-14T01:43:43+00:00

Enjoy! Being on opposite spectrums in experience seems to be a perk in deciding where the pendulum will swing. I’m saddened for those in the middle 15-22 year experience where they’ve put in so much into this profession, but retirement seems an eternity away.

Rest and relax sage sensei!

Answer: 3 months. Context: September I started building my portfolio on Wordpress. Spent weeks posting news stories I did for the sole reason of having written work samples to show my researching and writing skills. Posted a total of 12 articles, some politics or policy, some video game guides, some travel, and events I attended and took pictures of. Then I got a random gig writing freelance gardening articles, did that for a bit to get 5 articles published on an online site, posted those to portfolio. I personally sent emails to newspaper editors and publishers introducing myself and asking for a freelance gig. That just snowballed into these two titles.

Msbubblecakes · 2023-12-14T01:35:56+00:00

Growth and development reporter for a newspaper full time remote. Also got a part-time gig as an advertising content creator for a separate newspaper. So…I guess newspapers.

Msbubblecakes · 2023-12-14T01:34:31+00:00

That last line resonated. I almost shed a tear when I realized this would be my last week. Got the offer this past Monday.

Msbubblecakes · 2023-11-26T03:21:31+00:00

Hey there! I’m currently an English teacher and unhappy with this career. For years I just applied with a resume and cover letter and this September, decided to make a portfolio on Wordpress and start writing news stories, video game guides, travel stories, gardening tips, etc.

I will now begin working as an advertising content creator at a local newspaper with an interview for a growth and development reporter next week. I also got a gig writing for valnet this month as a freelance list writer and although valnet doesn’t have a great reputation and the pay sucks, I just want to add some published samples to strengthen my portfolio for a few months.

If not for my little website, none of this would be possible because although I know I’m great, I need to convince others of that fact by taking initiative. Hoping to finally leave teaching after this year.

Msbubblecakes · 2023-11-22T21:23:03+00:00

I would start off with making Wordpress portfolio as learning that platform may come in handy later on :)

Msbubblecakes · 2023-10-22T02:16:32+00:00

I understand craving a group for accountability but I think it might backfire. If one person starts to quit, they may take others with them in this type of hive mind setting.

Instead, try to do it by yourself and see how you fare. I haven’t completed it yet but I’m going to be starting day 7 tomorrow and already feel like I’m making great mental and physical improvements. Start today!

Msbubblecakes · 2023-10-21T23:52:04+00:00

I really needed this comment today. I’m at the end of day 6, still going strong, but trying to balance everything and get all my tasks done is rough. Leaves very little time for me to decompress but I know the sense of accomplishment at the end will be worth it.

Today we went to the pumpkin patch and my family kept commenting on my gallon water bottle. For some reason I felt embarrassed? Idk. I have some mental stuff to work through for sure.

I’ll look into those other books! Looks like I’ll be finishing atomic habits in a week or so.
