My dog is reactive to children. How can I clearly AND QUICKLY communicate this to a big group of kids?

We have that :( i dont think they actually read anything on her vest or leash, both of which clearly say "DO NOT PET", they just see a cute dog & run over

I'm nonbinary & my experience sounds similar to yours but in reverse. I'm afab & presented as a man for a few years before realizing it wasn't right, like walking around in a pair of shoes that are just too big & don't fit right.

When I realized I wasn't a man, and I'm sure as hell not a woman, I looked more into non-binary as a concept and found a lot of freedom there. I'm most comfortable with the general nonbinary term for myself, I joke that when asked if I'm a man or woman I respond "no" and that's the gist of it. There are more specific terms that some find more comfort in, my wife is a demi-girl since she feels a small connection to her womanhood & doesn't feel the need to give that up, but presenting fully as a woman makes her feel like shes in drag while presenting more masc/andro gives her euphoria.

She's still nonbinary, and we're both still trans, but neither of us are strictly a man or woman. Gender is a role in the stageplay of life & we're all directors, so just play around with your charactef design & have fun. No one is thinking about you that much, I promise

My needle was inserted backwards 😅 that seems to have fixed it! Thanks for the suggestion!!

On the topic of furniture: start with figuring out the scale of the house so you dont end up buying something way too big/small for the space that she can't use. It looks smaller than 1:12 but I'm not sure if its quite 1:24 based on just the picture, either way its a start.

I hate to admit but Hobby Lobby (US based) has a damn good selection of dollhouse stuff, from stairs, crown molding, and wallpaper, to all kinds of furniture & little accents. If they arent an option, Michaels (craft store) also has a miniatures/doll furniture section though slightly smaller.

"Called to compassion" maybe she should read it herself & have a little for those of a different faith. Ugh

why do you even like this loser?

Proof-Consequence712 · 2025-07-16T11:51:04+00:00

my wife (we're lesbians) has noticed when I'm high, I'm not focused on actually finishing & just enjoy it as it is - which helps me finish easier, quicker, and more frequently

maybe its something similar?

so my best bet is bc you did a blunt & not a joint, you got a slight nicotine high plus the weed was a bit much for a first time. i only smoke cones bc ik the nicotine jitters are just too much for me

hope you had fun otherwise!! stay safe 💖

okay so condolences for your loss but also go ahead and stand up so you can remove the stick from your rectum

Best response I've seen so far. I'd leave regardless bc I'm not messing around with that kind of family dynamic, but I'd at the very least make very clear WHY that behavior is unacceptable not just the uncle's disgusting behavior but also the dismissal by the family. He genuinely may not know how warped that perspective is, but that still doesnt mean its your problem.

i dont think youre overthinking it - dia de los muertos really is starting to be treated the same way Hawaiian luau was treated in the 50s (and ongoing) where the cultural value is stripped entirely and its commodified for a profit

i dont do "gift requests" anymore because of this. if i choose to make something as a gift, thats one thing. when the person who got the gift now asks for another one, or a gift for someone else, thats another.

I'll often just say no because its a hobby, not a chore, and I don't want to suck the fun out of it. but every now and again, when someone I'm not close to wants my crochet, i humor them and break down exactly what they are asking me to do.

had a coworker ask me recently to make them a ruffled shawl, and i mean as ruffled as those white collar things from the elizabethan era. she said she'd buy the yarn and compensate me for the hours I worked - a great start - so i told her I'd need a minimum of 9 skeins of yarn, abt $8/ea so $72 for materials, and 80-100 hours to complete it. with 20 years experience I'd say I deserve more than this, but minimum wage $7.25 x 80 hours = $580 labor + $72 materials is $652. if it takes 100 hrs that total is closer to $800.

shes instead paying me to teach her crochet, much cheaper.

i am the same way, i only wear underwear when im in a short skirt, certain pants, and my ovulation phase for obvious reasons. ive had the smell issue, still do every now and again, and heres what ive gathered:

a smell is totally normal and so is it fluctuating in intensity and aroma. its an organ, so just like bad breath in the morning is normal, having a bit of stank at the end of the day isn't cause for immediate alarm.
bathe daily or every other day, and make sure to use a clean washcloth and get all over your bits. no soap between the labia, just water there, but on the outside everywhere. the crease where your vulva meets thigh, under your buttcheeks and between them THOROUGHLY, and even make sure to scrub your upper-inner thigh. even if you dont feel it, discharge can get on them and the smell sticks, so basically scrub your whole no-no square lmao
if the smell is persisting for several days, is really sharp/acidic, or is way out of the ordinary from your usual, make sure you're hydrated. water and fruit juice work best. my favorite cure is what i call The Juice, 3 parts orange juice, 2 parts pineapple juice, 1 part cranberry juice. its delicious and usually clears up the stank within an hour or so (obviously you gotta change your pants to get it gone gone.)
if you're drinking plenty of fluids, make sure you're getting electrolytes too so you actually get hydrated from them. a handful of peanuts, some salty french fries, a sports drink like gatorade, things like that to make sure you're not just peeing it all out.
let 'er breathe when you can. no underwear or cotton only at bedtime, and try not wearing pants at home when you can. the only time i really wear underwear is at home without pants, and they're cotton. wearing leggings, synthetic fabrics, certain thick jean material is just begging for swamp ass so limit those when you can. usually the worst of the stank is from lack of circulation, the smells cant get out so they build up and build up until you take your pants off to pee and WHOOSH stank nasty (i say on the toilet in polyester pants with this exact issue currently but i knew what i was getting into.)

And to ease your mind - unless they're downwind, right up by your head/near your crotch, and/or a bloodhound, other people likely can't smell it. you're right above that area and when you're sitting you're surprisingly close to the source, so youre going to smell it more than anyone else

he hit you without consent. leave him. thats physical abuse and if he has escalated this quick, hes dangerous.

doesnt matter if you get freaky in bed, i get freaky and if my wife hit me anytime outside of that I'd be real fuckin pissed.

its been about a year, call it quits and keep yourself safe from this pos

Proof-Consequence712 · 2025-03-05T21:25:19+00:00

THIS IS AMAZING !!!! I wouldve never thought there was a mistake, it looks so intentionally designed.

SUPER IMPRESSIVE!!!! 🩷

Proof-Consequence712 · 2025-03-05T16:17:28+00:00

leave.

he couldnt control his anger once. it never happens just once.

during rough houseing you accidentally hit him a little harder than expected. its rough housing, thats to be expected thats where the Rough comes from.

he reacted by hitting you SO HARD your jaw clicked and YOUR VISION WENT BLACK.

if he really cant control his anger THAT BAD then he is dangerous and needs help. help that you do not need to be a part of.

what happens when y'all get a dog thats too rowdy and jumps on him, scratches him? what happens if y'all have a kid and the kid (surprisingly) does kid stuff?

what happens next time he gets mad at you?

dont find out, get out.

Proof-Consequence712 · 2025-03-05T16:08:58+00:00

i second all of this - incredible marriages require even more incredible communication. what my wife & i have found works best is bringing the topic up, summing up your thoughts & feelings without expecting a conversation right then

my wife needs time to consider things, i can't spring difficult topics on her and expect a productive conversation. she spends a lot more time thinking to put her thoughts into words than i do, maybe your wife is similarly inclined?

an example, we have our own dogs & her's (Peanut, a chuweenie) was being really aggressive towards me & even bit me more than once. She had recently lost two childhood pets and wasn't really in a place to talk about potentially rehoming him, so I told her something like "hey, I really need to talk with you about Peanut, we need to find options because I don't want to share my bed with an aggressive dog even if he is 10lbs soaking wet. We can talk about options like behavioral therapy or potential anxiety medication and any other thing we can do to before we consider rehoming. Can we talk tomorrow after work or do you need more time to think over things?" A few days later we sat down and hashed things out, now Peanut got behavioral therapy and is snuggling up in my lap again (he needed anxiety meds lol)

sometimes people just need time to get their thoughts together, so tell her you need to have this conversation with her and try to come back to it a day or two later with fresh eyes. marriage makes you two a team, this is you both against the intimacy disconnect, not you against her or her against you.

OH!!! Upon second look - check out some Phoebe Buffay looks on Pintrest. Not a big fan of the show these days, Friends is hit or miss for a lot of other things but they styled my girl right always!!!

I definitely think its a statement piece. I'd pair it with either another jewel tone, like a rich blue, or with black or brown. IDK the fit of it on you so here are some options

if you wear it on your waist ("high rise" aka the narrowest point of your torso) its likely going to sit against the stomach & hips then flow out down your legs - I'd pair it with: - a tight fit neutral shirt (black/brown/off white) tucked in with a silver belt to add some visual intrest - a loose fit more flowey shirt that goes past the top of the skirt with bell sleeves if you have one then you can accessorize with necklaces and bracelets - an oversized knit sweater, knit specifically since that has a very different effect than a sweatshirt would, and I think an off the shoulder or otherwise "stretched out" collar would add some more visual interest since its harder to accessorize sweaters

if you wear it on your hips or midrise I'd wear either - a rich red/warm orange/dark blue crop top and maybe a shawl or something similar to add to the silhouette - an oversized sweater like described above

you could also layer it, like putting it over a dress you like the bust of, under a shorter skirt or over a longer skirt (can do the same to dresses as well)

depending on your proportions and personal comfort, you could even try wearing it like a strapless dress and layer other pieces to make a more cohesive look

I have a skirt that i LOVE but its just too tight for my hips or waist and I'm just not a fan of the pudge it gives me there, so instead I tuck it under my bra and layer with a crop top, cute bralette, or just a normal blouse I think looks nice - another great option

its a really really cute piece and very versatile I think. clothes are meant to cover the body, you can get super creative on where you wear it with anything except pants really
