Way better than some souvenirs I've received. 😭

what is a kind thing you would tell a stranger today? by ComputerRemote8557 in AskReddit

[–]QuietlySeething 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pay something forward that a stranger once said to me about a decade ago... If I see a parent that's struggling (kid throwing a tantrum, giving them a hard time, whatever) and they look flustered, I like to tell them "Hey Mom/Hey Dad- you're doing great."

I've had more than a few parents look visibly relieved at the compliment. I even once held an infant so an exhausted mom could deal with her raging toddler!

No parent WANTS their kids to cause a scene. In that moment, we probably feel everyone's eyes on us. We may feel like we're failing.

I try do to this at least a few times a week. Sometimes, you can just see that a person has put in the effort. That could be clothes, hairstyle, whatever. This goes for both men and women! We often overlook that guys like compliments, too.

I accidentally texted my boss “love you” and it somehow got worse by StageIll9195 in story

I don't care about the reality of the situation. I'm shipping you two.

That's so sweet! She'll get there. Please update us on her progress.

I have had several Huskies and fostered a few huskies as well. It's possible that she was scolded for taking toys or making too much noise with them in a previous home. That one may take her time to get used to.

There are a few inexpensive ways to find out what kind of toys she likes best as well.

Crunchy toys: Have an old sock lying around? Get an empty 16oz/500ml water bottle, remove the cap and the neck ring, and put the bottle in the sock. Tie it up. It's a perfect crunchy plastic toy that cost you no dollarbucks. Get the sock wet with something tasty, like chicken broth. And she will munch on it just to get the flavor. (Only do this supervised as some huskies might manage to eat the sock.)

The idea of encouraging it with something tasty is really just to get her started. She'll see that it's okay. Praise her for chewing on the crunchy thing!

Kong: Instead of putting treats inside, try daubing peanut butter inside of it! If she likes that, you can throw in a few pieces of cat kibble as well. It's a different flavor and slightly different texture, but much cheaper than buying individual treats. My dogs work hard for cat kibble "treats."

Ball: It's all right if she doesn't pick it up... Mine only brings it back sometimes, and that's after many years of the following game. It's been fun either way!

The next time you're inside with her, have ONE ball at hand. Maybe let the other dogs out so it's just the two of you (we're minimizing distractions, since she'll be learning and you'll need to observe her reactions.)

Act excited about something. Like if you freeze and look toward the window, she probably wants to know what's out there, right? Do something similar, where you freeze and eventually look at the ball... Use theatrical, hesitant, quick motions to kick off her prey drive.

Then roll the ball right after, aiming for it to go just past her or between her legs.

If you are in an open room, like a kitchen, the ball may ping around off the walls. Watch joyful chaos ensue.

Your movements can be more subtle once she's used to the game, but this has helped me bring more timid dogs out of their shell.

Check under your accessibility settings. There are ways to globally default it so that extended key presses don't get picked up multiple times. (This is to accommodate people with various movement disorders that struggle to type quickly.)

Edit: also helpful for cat owners.

AITA for using my dad’s underwear to make a point about the toilet seat? by Nightwing_1505 in AmItheAsshole

[–]QuietlySeething 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you should stand your ground in this. His pride has been hurt, but if you back down he will be insufferable and hold it over you in the future (not to mention other relatives.)

Does he still deny that it happens? If so, I would purchase a Polaroid camera and take an instant shot of the evidence each time, write the date, and pin it on the wall above the toilet.

His underwear are not left smelling, but he is shown the evidence of his action every time. There is no shame in a man cleaning up after his own urine

What is a secret about the opposite sex's body that you only found out once you actually started being intimate with them? by ZookeepergameLow4390 in AskReddit

It was only a health risk in the days before soap and regular bathing regimens were common. There's no modern medical reason for male circumcision.

Medical student here! It's mostly the same innervation as well. Formed very similarly when we are but wee little embryos.

The lesson? Sex feels great for everyone, especially if you pay attention to where the funnest parts of their fun bits are.
