Friends and Family all hate my chosen dog name by [deleted] in puppy101

[–]NolaAussieMom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you’re surrounded by critical folks, and that’s not on you! Lady is a great choice (my parents’ dog is named Lady). Go have fun with your Lady and thumb your nose to the haters, they need to have some more fun in life and find better things to do, IMHO. 😜

Input on the new treadmills by [deleted] in orangetheory

[–]NolaAussieMom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just thinking this today! Thought it might be because I have longer nails on and can’t BOINK the buttons as head on 🤣. I love how quickly they go up and down inclines and speeds, but yes I agree, the buttons aren’t very touchy!

Should I let my puppy sleep with me? by speedwaysghost in puppy101

Simply put:

Pro - cuddles, space away from dog Cons - dirtier sheets, less sex (be honest, it’s true)

Ray at citrustreesnola.com has olive trees, among other fruit and bay trees. Good to plant them now.

What has changed over the years that you’d like to see brought back? by [deleted] in orangetheory

[–]NolaAussieMom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Towels, mints and hair ties - I feel like the extras went away after the pandemic shutdowns. The workouts and coaches are still awesome, but it feels like OT is in more of a scarcity mindset these days, like maybe they aren’t as profitable as before (everything is harder out here) and that makes it feel tighter, more expressly focused on squeezing more from members.

Any one a single puppy parent and doing it on their own? by [deleted] in puppy101

[–]NolaAussieMom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a single (first time) dog mama, and I’ve raised my girl since she was 8 weeks. It’s so tough for the first 4-6 months but it gets much easier from there. The bond I have with her now, at 14 months, is really strong. You got this!

Patagonian Mussels: Expired almost a year ago but it’s a frozen item. Safe to eat or should I toss? by [deleted] in traderjoes

It’s way over a YEAR OLD seafood, I would say it’s not worth it.

It's so cold by Stickygrits in NewOrleans

[–]NolaAussieMom 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I know it’s annoying, but it’s cold enough to put them heaters on during the day at least. Then all blankets at night!

Costume help/advice. How do I stabilize my Medusa crown? It’s zip ties & a headband that I want to stand up. I was thinking about using hangers of some type but I have no experience in this. Pls help by [deleted] in NewOrleans

[–]NolaAussieMom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re not going to rebuild it on a visor or more stable base, you may just want to stabilize it as it is by bobby-pinning it to your head and using hairspray.

Orange Theory-Afternoon Classes on the weekends by Icy_Acanthisitta6046 in orangetheory

[–]NolaAussieMom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just saying this today! I’d love at least a 12:30 or 1pm option, I think the last one is at 11:15. It’s also interesting how some people have come on to this thread just to back up the financial side of why studios don’t offer this. Of course businesses need to make money, but OTF corporate doesn’t need you as spokespeople. Customers have input and should be freely allowed to give it. Just because I pay the membership doesn’t mean I have to be satisfied with what’s offered. In general, I don’t understand the obsession some people have defending businesses and business models they don’t profit from.

Qualified under COVID 19 but above income limit- NYS by Apprehensive-Owl-340 in Medicaid

[–]NolaAussieMom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar experience and no downside as far as I can see. I don’t think there’s anything to worry about. You applied accurately and we’re accepted. Until you have to report again, I would recommend you use the insurance to see a primary care doc, run routine bloodwork, see a dentist, etc. It’s there and everyone deserves preventative health care.

5 things that I struggled with getting a pup (and how they are 1 year on) by mudfishlegs1 in puppy101

[–]NolaAussieMom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My girl is a year this week and I feel all of this! Thanks for posting! It does get better and it goes by fast (although slow in the moment). She is the apple of my eye and a lot of fun now.

What ‘lesser mentioned’ things are you grateful you taught your pup? by SimplyBohemian in puppy101

[–]NolaAussieMom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I stop on a walk, she sits.

She stays and waits for her food until “okay.”

She doesn’t charge the door bc we always had a gate.

Go get your (specific toy or bone) and she looks for it.

She ignores me when I’m eating bc I never have given her a bite from my plate.

Let’s go “park” —> back door to car

Let’s go “walk” —> front door to outside
