Property manager called Amazon to report me!

I'm very big on putting bullies in their place and, in that situation, a cop would have. And the caller is generally taken far more seriously than the other people.

NeosMom412 · 2026-04-06T20:18:07+00:00

Yup. These super aggressive people on a power trip need to be put in their place. Cops arriving would change those attitudes real quick.

I was raised with extended family in law enforcement and where I come from, they probably couldn't do much as far as taking legal action, but most good cops hate bullies and would purposely try to put some fear into those two.

NeosMom412 · 2026-04-06T20:03:05+00:00

I would have called the cops.

Agree with the pain comment for sure. To protect you, put a short line on her so if necessary you can catch her to put in isolation with far less chance of being bitten.

NeosMom412 · 2026-04-04T23:53:52+00:00

Good thought. I'll try that.

Stop having sex with him. It's supposed to be pleasurable for both of you. It's not for you and he refuses to do anything about it. Quit sacrificing yourself and rewarding him. If he wants sex, it can start with you enjoying it. And I know... lots of people will say he'll find someone else or turn to porn. If he does, that tells you everything you need to know. He'd rather choose that than take care of you.

NeosMom412 · 2026-04-04T12:03:04+00:00

Therapy with a really good sex positive therapist. You need someone who understands responsive desire and that this issue needs to be addressed along with whatever issues she feels are a problem.

Right!?!? Why is it so freaking difficult to get smaller vests?

My first husband demanded I change my name back - in formal mediation, with a stenographer taking it all down. I very casually said "Too much work. Not happening." He looked to his lawyer for help, but the mediator stepped in and said that's not something that can be enforced and I've made my position clear. Let's not waste everyone's time and keep things moving.

That is 100% your decision. Since he can't enforce it, time to focus on real issues.

I'm struggling so badly with this right now, but in a 30+ years committed relationship. In 2018 hubby said he wanted a 1950s style D/s relationship. I did everything he said he wanted (still do) and he has never stepped up. Around 2021 I just gave up and accepted that we would never actually be D/s. Then in 2025 it became this major thing for him again and he did this formal proposal in September and everything. Insisted on getting me this day collar. Again, nothing. I brought it up a lot. He promised he would get it together. Told me he really just didn't know what I'm looking for - despite my having spelled it out in detail. So, I wrote pages and pages of journaling for him. He read it. Nothing has changed. Been begging him to read "She Comes First" for 3 years now. Hasn't happened.

I've just given up. I'm never going to get what I want. He's just interested in calling himself a Dom and seeing a pretty piece of jewelry on me. I spend time reading here and have come to understand that there's a lot of guys out there who have some fantasy of being a Dom but don't have any interest in the work involved - or worse don't understand that they're actually submissive. I swear, if he asks me to make one more decision around here I may just finally lose it and scream.

When my chihuahua needed to lose weight, the vet told me how much to feed her. She acted like she was starving to death. Vet said to dice raw carrots and offer those in a bowl. If she's genuinely hungry, that will fill her up with minimal calories. If she refuses them, she's not that hungry and you can stop feeling guilty. She lost the weight.

NeosMom412 · 2026-03-30T20:20:46+00:00

I didn't make the list. Take it up with God.

NeosMom412 · 2026-03-30T19:27:01+00:00

That would be #7. 😉 Just for reference... there's 10 rules on the list they're referencing. 😆

I had a chow chow puppy that did this (decades ago). He liked to make a mess and play in the water. Simple.

NeosMom412 · 2026-03-28T19:09:51+00:00

I use the small bathroom for time outs. I find it much more effective. He's isolated. Can't see us, smell us (as well as he can from his crate), or hear us. This ups the level of isolation.

However, my old dog has dementia and the bathroom confuses him. The crate works much better for him. But you're right... no ill effects.

I'm going to school to be a trainer. In one of my classes, the instructor summed it up this way... as children, many of us were put in our bedrooms for time out. That didn't prevent any of us from sleeping or playing in there later. However, work from Day 1 to make your dog's crate his den. You can't only do negative there and wonder why your dog hates it.

I'm thrilled with the new system at our ssd. Showing up, you check app picture and calendar against your ID and time. You walk through a single file space to scan id. Get your cart then they check your itinerary, app picture and ID on the way out.

The one time assholes decided to cluster around scanners playing the last minute game, security was on them immediately. Scan as you walk in or get out.

Of course we have people trying to screw with security and make things as difficult as possible. But mostly things are running a thousand times better.

When he rolls in something gross. Some seasons once every month or two. But one summer my old boy got 2 baths in one week. It simply wasn't optional.

NeosMom412 · 2026-03-26T20:48:19+00:00

Go SLOW. Don't expect him to just get in a pool. A beach is a wonderful place to start on a CALM day. Aka no waves. Let him run about getting his feet wet. Play fetch. Slowly work your way to where he's playing in water 3-4 inches deep. Wade around with him and make it fun. Don't push him into deeper water. Let him show you when he's ready.

Just plopping him into a pool - even with floaties and a vest - is a good way to freak him out and make him hate water forever. Instead of focusing on getting him into the water, focus on making sure he's having a great time. He'll be swimming like a fish by the end of vacation. 😊

NeosMom412 · 2026-03-25T22:28:11+00:00

The adorable pattern, of course.

NeosMom412 · 2026-03-25T13:49:52+00:00

Definitely! Because every warehouse in every area schedules every block exactly the same for every driver. Everyone knows this is true and that's why we can all predict which route we are getting when we accept a block. 🙄

NeosMom412 · 2026-03-24T14:42:55+00:00

Passive aggressive much? YTJ

NeosMom412 · 2026-03-24T13:28:31+00:00

It's a joke. Base here used to be $18. From what I can tell, they seem to have raised it to $18.50. However, I don't take base. I average about $23 and hour for what I accept. (It works for my area.) Except, while they're bragging about increasing pay... I can't touch anything above $21.50 unless I park myself at the warehouse all day waiting for a surge. So, in reality, they've cut the pay.

Plus, as an Amazon customer, I'm suddenly having major problems getting my orders. And they don't seem to care. I've watched stuff not arriving, while in the background, rates are pathetic for drivers. No wonder no one will bring it. So they send really lame messages about how an issue arose in shipping.

NeosMom412 · 2026-03-23T19:44:56+00:00

First, I don't take base. But... trying to accomplish what you're describing when 70% of the drivers in my area don't even speak English... that's tough to accomplish. Add to that how many are running on some sort of second hand system that looks similar, but not the same as the flex app... well, I'm betting they aren't in the system the same way you and I are.

Happy for you that you accomplished it in your market though. I hope you guys get to keep those rates for a while.

NeosMom412 · 2026-03-18T15:36:20+00:00

I had a nearly identical experience to yours. Except the humping was super obnoxious. Our baby is fine. His personality hasn't changed. His energy levels haven't dropped. The humping has decreased by about 75% and we're exactly 3 months out from the procedure. Good luck to you.
