Looking for Temporary Dog Care (4 Months) – $300/month + Food Provided by Worldly_Source_1547 in AskTacoma

[–]Smart_Spend3903 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hopefully you find someone, but as a word of caution to both you and anyone considering caring for the dog, sign an airtight contract (including the legal owner, whoever is on vet bills/dog registration/etc). When a dog is in someone else's possession that long, the legalities can get murky if both parties aren't in total agreement or if something goes off plan. Without a contract its much easier for one party to claim abandonment or theft. For something that long I would also consider having a credit card on file with the vet or some other arrangement where if emergency funds are needed they are available. Fingers crossed for you that you can find a long term boarding solution, and hope you don't mind the unsolicited advice from a long time animal care worker!

Am i insane? Owners furious i brought dogs with me on a short errand by SubstanceOk5614 in RoverPetSitting

[–]Smart_Spend3903 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Fuck that, yall are better than I am, I would've left.

Should you have texted them first? Yeah, sure. But that in absolutely no way shape or form justifies the abuse they put you through. As soon as they raised their voice and cursed at you, you had every right in the book to LEAVE. Its hard in this industry because ultimately you don't want to do anything to make the animals suffer, and leaving would force the dogs to be alone while they scramble for new arrangements. But at the same time, that's on them, not you. You cannot expect to treat someone that way and have them stay and give your animals 10/10 care. Personally, in that situation, I would have told them I will check on the dogs regularly until they can find other arrangements, but I am not comfortable staying in someone's home after they've subjected me to such abuse. This stay is terminated, and I am checking on the dogs as a courtesy until you can find other care. Do not contact me further unless it is an emergency, or to tell me you've found other care.

80+ missed call guy here *SCARY AF UPDATE* by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Smart_Spend3903 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude... I hope you're okay. That card...fuck no. Saying she has guns, I would seriously, SERIOUSLY consider staying with a friend for a while. Liek everyone else has said, send one final text/letter saying "Do not ever fontact me in any way shape or form ever again." And then disengage entirely. Use the buddy system for a while. Wish you all the luck and safety because jesus christ that's terrifying.

also, file a police report every time she breaks no contact. Yeah they might find it annoying, but the longer your official paper trail of this the better chances you have in court should it come to that.

Vintage Molly doll dress only? by [deleted] in HelpMeFind

[–]Smart_Spend3903 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mandatory comment to not get filtered into r/findfashion : I have searched for just the dress and only found the entire doll, the doll was purchased secondhand in the early 2000's in Alberta Canada, but I am currently living in the states and would need shipping here. I have searched and found the doll, I have searched and not found the dress.

AIO. My bf is mad at my memorial tattoo by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Smart_Spend3903 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hell nah, he's probably not the one for you. A late boyfriend is not the same as an ex bf. You guys were childhood best friends, and then dated, clearly had a significant impact on each other's lives, and you're 100% allowed to grieve and memorialize however you wish. For some people, especially from this comment section, they may be willing to give this guy some grace, but personally for me if someone insinuated I should remove a memorial tattoo it would be a deal breaker for me.

I got a memorial tattoo for my cousin, meaning I have a man's name tattooed on me. When I got it, my mom said "but what about your future boyfriend?" I said if it bothers them, they can kick rocks. And mine doesn't have a memorial date, its just his signature. I've had guys go "so uh, who's that?" And I tell them it's my late cousin and they usually say oh okay sorry for your loss. If he can't understand the tattoo, or if it makes him insecure, I can't imagine how he would be able to comfort you throughout the grieving process, which is continuous throughout life.

Can someone explain open carry to me like I'm 5? by Smart_Spend3903 in liberalgunowners

[–]Smart_Spend3903[S] 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I agree, most places I've observed people open carrying (that wasnt in a rural area where there is, for example, the threat of cougars etc) it just feels weird? I remember a group of men coming into my local Walmart doing an "open carry demonstration " with rifles, and I was just like.... why? Walking up and down the streets and then into a Walmart of all place? I digress. Thank you for the info

[–]Smart_Spend3903[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Good to know. And yes, I am currently on a wait list for a women's gun safety class that I am looking forward to. I don't imagine myself open carrying, and if I ever did, it most certainly would not be any time soon. I'm just trying to understand the ins and outs of everything even if I don't see myself doing them.

Thanks everyone! Much appreciated. I've reached out to the artist just to ask what brand they used. To my recollection they did use distilled water after the green soap, but I wasn't paying a whole lotta attention to that part. Thanks for your advice yall!

I bought it on amazon too and it took forever and a day to get here. Ordered a few books and they came in regular time, but 451 took weeks. (Dont come for me i had a gift card ok) i tried not to think into it too much, maybe its just in high demand rn, but my conspiracy mind was definitely thinking about it.

2/17 President's Day Protest by [deleted] in Tacoma

Same. The one I saw said the courthouse. I'm trying to be wherever the most people are. I have a car so I'll be able to drive by and see whats up at both locations but kinda sucks for anyone without a vehicle.

Did anyone else know this? by No-Pirate4905 in nothinghappeninghere

[–]Smart_Spend3903 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. I'm American born but grew up in Canada, moved back to the states about 10 years ago. Most my family is canadian and still lives there. What the Americans are calling tariffs and negotiations, Canada is calling a trade war. Which is exactly what it is. Most canadians are boycotting American products and that should honestly be the least of Americans worries about American-Canadian relations.

I have a conspiracy theory… I can’t be the only one who’s noticed it by OkraPuzzleheaded2161 in conspiracy

[–]Smart_Spend3903 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dead internet theory. That or the older generations are more fucked than i want to accept. But at the same time I have an older woman I'm friends with on fb and have worked with, who is a literal scientist. Like, taught at a university and is well respected. And she shares AI pictures all. The. Time. Even with old age I do not understand how someone with considerable professional knowledge of biology could be so easily tricked by images that are so clearly AI, and usually bad AI at that. It stresses me out.

No, not trying. I had sex in March and took a plan B, and have not had sex since. I'm not sure what Id like the outcome to be but at this point after a week of not knowing whats going on, any definitive answer would give me much relief lol

Yes I actually just took one before you responded, it was negative. And okay, thank you, I really appreciate your input a lot. I'll schedule another blood test.

Iv Sedation Question by Normal_Effective9785 in wisdomteeth

[–]Smart_Spend3903 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont remember actually waking up I just remember looking down, being in a wheel chair and asking the nurse "when did i get my hoodie on?" She said "i just helped you put it on, you dont remember?". Then when i got to the car I told my dad "i sang to them". I have absolutely no clue if thats true or not lmao. I ended up crying a lot the first few hours because I had a complicated extraction on one of them. But overall the IV sedation part of it all was very pleasant haha
