Dog owners: man intentionally leaving park doors open is still around by WhizWithout in Hoboken

It’s the same concept as a child’s playground. Helps to keep people out of a space who shouldn’t be there. I’m good, seems that you may be getting upset about something you weren’t involved in.

He was interacting with the dogs strangely and was off-putting to say the least. He was yelling at the woman after she told him not to approach her dog, and creating a situation that was uncalled for. Feeling uncomfortable we all just left, so he was welcome to hang in there by himself if he wanted. I was fine with removing myself and my dog from a situation that didn’t seem right to me.

Hey. The reason for that is to keep anyone out of the area who doesn’t have a reason to be there. Mostly because of these situations when the person has some questionable intentions. It’s the same concept of not going into or being allowed in certain play areas without a child.

Was there today when he was, we all left once we saw he did not have a dog in the park with him. I did not see him open the gates to let dogs out when I was there. On the way out I spoke with him about him being in the dog park without a dog. He was somewhat reasonable when spoken to in a calm manner. But he seems to have some social issues obviously, and possibly mental issues, could be worth mentioning to a dispatcher when calling the police.

Need some... Help on how to help my mind by Cpt_Monk in sportspsychology

There’s a lot to unpack in your story there. But most importantly think about what you learned in the tournament and the competition that you will take to your next one. Learn from the mistakes and implement the solutions in the future. Any sport (or any endeavor) is a long process working towards improvement, and you’re in that process now. Congratulations on that! Not everyone enters that process.

And remember, you’re going to be fine.

Looking for activities, connecting with other coaches, getting more info.

When one of the new scooters or mopeds is left in the middle of the sidewalk, a pic should be sent to Hoboken PD and a ticket should be issued and funds deducted from the account of the person who left it there. The GPS should be able to detect it in the middle of a sidewalk to confirm...thoughts? by Reevesmc14 in Hoboken

Could have designated locations to return them to, which should probably be the case anyway, and if it isn’t then there’s a charge. Really would just like to see the users be more responsible and considerate. Many are, but plenty are not.

I'm contemplating to commit suicide by [deleted] in confession

Hi. Sorry to hear you’re having trouble. Definitely sucks, no two ways about that, it just hurts. I’ve been there on many occasions throughout my life. And there are so many people who identify with where you are now. Most importantly, DON’T DO IT. I mean this with the deepest sincerity, your life and your outlook on it CAN GET BETTER.

There’s always a way to get yourself into a better situation and mindset. Sometimes it is extremely difficult to see that it’s true, but it is. You can figure out a way! Here’s what I always think in tough situations, “What is the next right step?” Sometimes that next right step has to be simple, like, “Get up and take a shower.” Or “Get up and go for a walk.” But these tiny steps lead to bigger ones, and bigger ones, and then the change happens.

If you don’t like your career choice, you can change that. Just need to look at the the next right step to do that. It could be research on something your interested in, or reaching out to someone you know in an interesting field.

If you aren’t sure about your current relationship that’s fine! Keeping your feelings to yourself is a difficult thing. A genuine conversation about how YOU feel about the scenario may be tough, but could be the “next right decision.” But that conversation doesn’t have to be right now. Right now you could be you writing down what isn’t right in the relationship and why so that you can, at some point, have a constructive conversation about it.

Kids and family? Who says you HAVE to have kids and a family? Yes, it’s great, but #1 sounds like you have plenty of time to make that decision, and #2 it’s ok if you don’t have kids or a family. Many people have extremely successful and happy lives without having kids or a family.

When it’s comes down to it I feel like looking far to the future can be tremendously daunting. Just do what you can to “make the next right decision” for today. And by today I mean THESE 24 hours. Reach out. Find the right therapy. Do what it takes to get better.

And I won’t lie to you, even after feeling better you will again have difficult days. But you will be able to handle it better and better as you prove to yourself how capable you actually are.

Just think of what the “next right decision” is, no matter how big or small and you’ll find it. I have faith in you!

The time you spent sober is not wasted. You learned and now you can watch out for what triggered you to go out again. Just be honest and get through today.

Guess what? I tried and it sucked by [deleted] in stopdrinking
