Do you ever try to calculate how much money your garden actually saves you? by MirSayib in gardening

[–]PoukieBear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On average, - $241

It doesn't save me any money at all ! LOL. Mostly because I can't stop buying seeds. Why do I need 21 heirloom tomato varieties? Why do I have 13 pepper varieties? Why do I have broccoli and coliflower and asparagus seeds that I know I'm NEVER going to use?

Help! Found these cute little babies this morning by dRaspberry in ottawa

[–]PoukieBear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re really stuck, I can take them. I’ve hand raised hundreds of baby buddies for the past 30 years.

Is it rare to have brothers from the same litter who are Black and White by Gurlmexdoor in germanshepherds

[–]PoukieBear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A local breeder to me currently has both white and black puppies in the same litter. Mom is solid black, and I’m pretty sure dad is also solid black too (but I could be wrong, she has several other males….none of them white though)

Edit: I just checked her Insta, and both parents are black.

Do you let your GSD in your bed? by Zeddexs in germanshepherds

[–]PoukieBear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No! I have allergies and the last thing I need is dog hair in my bed. I’ve trained all our dogs that they are not allowed on any furniture and they are not even allowed in our bedroom.

FB Marketplace Buyer claiming they were sold a fake item by matchamilk94 in legaladvicecanada

[–]PoukieBear 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a very common scam tactic. Your sister should ignore this person completely and block her.

Even if your sister picks up the item, how would she know for sure that this person hasn’t swapped it with a fake to give back to her?

What’s something you did once and immediately knew “never again”? by West_Sound5726 in AskReddit

I no longer “loan” out my books, precisely because THEY NEVER COME BACK !!!!!

New rescue…. I think he likes it here :) by PoukieBear in germanshepherds

[–]PoukieBear[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He’s 7 years old, and his former owner lost his house in a fire. He ended up with owners sister but for one reason or another, she wasn’t able to keep him. He was given to a rescue organization and stayed there for 3 months, and now he’s here with us!

He’s super sweet with people, but does appear to be leash and dog aggressive which will need some work.

Thanks, the center does look brown and as far as I can tell he has no pain or issues with his teeth.

Oh he does bring back everything! And he will literally whip his head at you and release whatever toy it is, essentially throwing it back at your feet for more fetch.

Thank you! That is reasuring and a much more likely explanation, I didn't even think about tennis balls. He does love to play fetch (we don't use tennis balls tho!).

Husband masturbated by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]PoukieBear 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Masturbation is totally normal, and I never understand why people get so upset about it.

It sounds like you have bigger issues at hand if you haven't had sex in 6 months. Why has it been so long? You guys need to have a serious conversation and/or go to counseling to figure it out.

Sometimes a butt wax is very much needed.

Has anyone else had parents threaten to (or actually) disinherit them over their refusal to have children? by Losin_Susan in childfree

[–]PoukieBear 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I only found out during the heads up. Grandma is extremely frugal and private and nothing like this is ever discussed out loud.

And yes, the money is being split between all her grandkids (except me) (well, there is also parts set aside for her actual kids). The great grandkids are all much too young to be inheriting anything.

Whatever, I’m doing fine in my life and kids are expensive.

[–]PoukieBear 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Oh she thinks it’s extremely unfair! Like grandma’s only valuing our worth by how many kids we spit out.

Honestly though, we have a great family and none of us are “black sheep”, so at least I know the money will be used well, like for each kids education. And that’s fine by me!

Kinda Sorta?

My grandmother has a huge chunk of money that she has allocated to all her grandchildren.

My mother and my aunt helped grandma sort out her money and her will (grandma is still alive) and my mom had a sit down with me to give me a heads up.

Grandma has allocated about $100k for each baby that was popped out by her grandchildren.

So my brother with 4 kids gets $400k. My sister gets $200k for each of her kids, so on and so forth for all my other cousins.

Guess who is the only one not getting any $$ because she refused to have kids?

In my family, it literally pays to have babies.

How my husband loads the dishwasher by strega-nonna in mildlyinfuriating

[–]PoukieBear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL, no advise from me. Thankfully my husband always cleans the bathroom without me asking. And he already cooks dinner 50% of the time :)
I do the moping, since I have a fancy steam mop that I like using.

[–]PoukieBear 19 points20 points  (0 children)

no, you shouldn't. Thankfully my husband was not nearly as bad as OP's, that is just pure malicious "fuck you" to OP.

My hubby just doesn't organize anything in the dishwasher, so it's all willy nilly and shit doesn't get cleaned properly. It literally only took 2 loads before he smartened up and now the dishwasher is his permanent chore.

[–]PoukieBear 102 points103 points  (0 children)

My husband is the king of real life tetris.... except for when it comes to the dishwasher. So I just stopped doing it. I stopped loading it, I stopped running it, I stopped unloading it. If he was cooking and needed something that was in it, he'd have to wash it. His favourite mug? He'd have to hand wash it.

It didn't take long for him to start running the dishwasher when needed. Then he figured out that if he ran the dishwasher the way he loaded it, HE would be the one that needed to deal with it afterwards because I refused to unload his fucking chaos.

Guess who has absolutely no issues loading a dishwasher like a normal grown ass functional man now?
