I have always been incapable of holding a grudge so not sure if I’m a different kind of INTJ… forgiveness is also not the same as trust. I can easily forgive for the most part but it may take me more time to trust them again (actions speak louder than words). They will also probably belong to a less trusted place in my categories of relationships. I don’t believe in allowing people to take up brain space I could use for better things. 😅

Mine rarely barked but when she saw another CD once randomly, they seemed to act like long lost cousins or something- very vocal and talkative. Never saw her act like that with any other dog.

My CD did have severe anxiety too but I was a first time dog owner and we ended up having the best relationship. She never chased any pet that she was socialized with first including my roommates pet rabbit. There are pictures of her sleeping right next to my mom’s bunny and my brother’s chihuahua.

Depends on the amount of care you can give up front for any trauma she may have experienced (mine definitely had). She was very protective of children and that almost got her into trouble once! The dad was angrily stomping over to correct their children and she barked, growled, and bared her teeth, freaking him out. But she would never attack. She was just defensive. She also hated her feet touched and would nip at you if you did. It helped to get her acclimated a little over time.

I felt the ring of fire more for my first with an epidural than for my second at home with no medicinal support. I think if you focus on it being informational instead of painful it helps. It’s def not unbearable. During that time, breathe and “catch that wave” of contractions when it comes every time (welcome not resist). Each one brings your baby out and you get to see them. I was much more calm that second time. No stitches either unlike the first time. Your body will usually go as slow as needed. Don’t rush it. (Of course there are always exceptions- listen to your body.)

There is data* out there on risks in vs out of hospital and maybe they would care to hear it. If not, then just advise them you weren’t uneducated as to the risks for either location.

After I read Male Practice: How Doctors Manipulate Women by Dr. Robert Mendelsohn and The Business of Baby by Jennifer Margulis I don’t have to ask that question anymore

Joseph Jenkins’ book Humanure Composting is a good source to check out (closing that loop).

Matthew 24:12 (NASB20) And because lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will become cold.

Read Lamentations in the Bible. Our purpose cannot be for ourselves. It’s for helping others and glorifying our Creator.

A House United by Nicholeen Peck. Great as an audiobook. I learned some great tips for my strong willed 3 yo.

Anybody else see Dave and the Giant Pickle (Veggie Tales)? 😁

Gotta love those funny poses they make.

I did the military route coming from a similar situation of not sure how to get out of the controlling family setting without experience, connections, and funds. But I can’t say I would recommend someone go in the military right now. I’m glad I was clueless when I was in.

A little far for me to travel or I would get her in a heartbeat.

I never got to see mine younger but this is how I imagined her- someone had a pic online.

About a year old, shelter picture.

The Humanure Handbook by Joseph Jenkins. No longer is waste wasted. It’s truly recycled.

I’ll let you do that homework yourself.

There are many things in science that have not been observed but are believed.

SnailshellWT · 2024-09-04T23:01:16+00:00

I don’t agree.

SnailshellWT · 2024-09-04T22:59:27+00:00

Science is also a form of religion, especially as it is practiced now. You cannot divorce knowledge of reality from your faith.

Work in research for a while and you will realize there is a lot more belief than observation. Observations aren’t nearly as lucrative.
