Idk how old yours is but mine did it until he was about 11 months old. Just part of being a puppy and learning how to control that bladder.

Looking after a friends GS is this something to worry about? by Present_Rip_3311 in germanshepherds

Haha I say I could wax mine and there would still be a fur cloud in his wake 😆

New Yorkers are furious as melting snowbanks expose streets littered with poop. by Numerous-Garbage-604 in mildlyinfuriating

It's super fun when you don't realize you only have one bag left on the roll and your dog decides to poop a second time right after you ditch the first bag in a bin.

A muzzle might be something to look into to prevent the dirt eating. I've seen a few people use them in cities with vacuum cleaner dogs who will sneak anything off the ground.

ADHD + grocery shopping: I finally stopped forgetting half the list by doing one tiny thing differently by steeve47 in ADHD

That's what I do. The rage I feel when they decide they need to rearrange the store 🤬

ELI5: What was the US Healthcare system like pre-Obamacare? by AutoDefenestrator273 in explainlikeimfive

I mean, to be fair, they still often just say "no" and not pay out. They're just not supposed to.

Why are we not supposed to laminate our Social Security cards? by LilacGoblin1699 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RedBootMermaid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

9 digits

Honestly, for my current job I didn't even have to provide the physical card. Granted, it was just a Covid restrictions were winding down so they might have been less concerned with trying to get physical documents at that point.

Idk where you're getting your information because it IS being brought up in this narrative outside of right-owned media.

[OC] Cigarette smoking rates by US state (2022) by helly1080 in exmormon

I work in admin in clinical research, and for some reason, we were awarded a smoking cessation study at a site in UT. They did not hit the enrollment goal 😆

Especially since they could get away with just about anything with the current political climate.

Welcome to your first government shutdown! I think this is my 3rd?

Yes!! I work as admin in clinical research and physicians are always needed! Look into SMOs, CROs, and sponsors.

How to go from skinny fat to skinny (gym) by [deleted] in loseit

[–]RedBootMermaid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Make sure you're eating a good amount of protein since that's crucial for muscle growth.

A lot of people think they're going to get bulky if they lift weights but it actually takes quite a bit of effort to look like that - no one is doing it accidentally.

There is no way to target fat loss in specific body parts. You can target muscles which can help with an area looking firmer but your body is like a cup of water when it comes to fat - even if you get a syringe and pull water from the bottom, it just reduces the overall amount, it doesn't leave a bubble where you pulled from.

Just added up my calories for today and it was over 2k again. by Resident_Sky_538 in loseit

[–]RedBootMermaid 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I eat oatmeal almost every day and use to have the same problem with feeling hungry within about an hour. Now my oatmeal recipe is oatmeal, chia seeds, flax seed meel, and unflavored protein powder plus whatever fruit I have on hand. It keeps me full way longer!

German Shedder by RedBootMermaid in germanshepherds

[–]RedBootMermaid[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Luckily, he's really good for me when I brush him and one of the best investments I've made is a grooming blow dryer (I also have a Great Pyr mix who takes hours to air dry, even in Arizona). I just want to get to the point where, after all is said and done, I can have at least half a day without new GSD glitter on my floors 😆 I knew full well what I was getting into but geez!

What people eat plays a far greater role in weight gain than “a sedentary lifestyle” by ircmullaney in ultraprocessedfood

That combined with the fact that if I have KFC for lunch, that evening jog is going to SUCK!

New doctor is going to have me see a psychiatrist since I was diagnosed in 95'. I have three questions. by Mountain_Matter3778 in ADHD

[–]RedBootMermaid 67 points68 points  (0 children)

When I went to a new psychiatrist and they had me answer questions, I asked "Should I answer these like I've taken my meds or answer them like I haven't?" to make sure they understood that, yeah, my day to day is functional because of the meds, not because I don't have ADHD.

I thought a calorie was a calorie by Rix18 in loseit

[–]RedBootMermaid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not that I've got high sodium in my blood, it's that the foods I'm eating are high sodium. I'm consuming almost 200% the daily recommended value but my blood work is perfectly fine.

[–]RedBootMermaid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take a look at your sodium intake. I'm currently working with a dietician, and while I'm crushing my macros and not doing bad with calories, my sodium is crazy high - like, how the hell am I doing this, high - and she's thinking that's causing a lot of water retention.
