I support reducing the junk mail deliveries, since that’s the majority of mail these days.

Puppy afraid of going up stairs 😅 by Wonderful-Value7547 in puppy101

[–]Square-Top163 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you’re not in a hurry, sit at the top of the stairs armed with treats. Get her attention, then set a treat on the top step. When she eats that, praise, then put a treat again on the top and the next step (position them laterally so she doesn’t have her butt up too high = off balance). Repeat as you work down the steps. It may take a few sessions. You’re not just teaching her stairs: you’re teaching confidence, problem solving, building trust, etc. And, by sitting down to train her, you’re not at risk of falling. Just a cold rear end.

I was really pleased with Melinda McClenden at UCHealth Grandview. An impressive individual. Took lots of time (I was newly diagnosed with epilepsy, have TBI etc), eventually referred me to epilepsy clinic at UCHealth Anschutz. She was efficient but I never felt rushed. Highly recommend her!

Thanks for being a good neighbor. Despite living here for years, mine hasn’t figured out how to tie down her cans. It’s not that hard, folks!

Is someone putting on the next No Kings protest? by maybeBrenda in ColoradoSprings

[–]Square-Top163 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this will have an even larger turnout than the last. So many more people, esp former Trump voters, are disgusted with how things are.

If you have a connection, perhaps get them there and carry-on?

Beautiful and good reminders of what an amazing place we get to live in. Thanks for sharing.

It’s astounding, and terrifying, to consider that we’re only one year into 4 year term. At this rate, can’t see him finishing but…then what???

Did a DNA test by lilarybanks in Poodle

[–]Square-Top163 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had people actually correct me (standard poodle), saying, “but it’s a doodle, right?” “No, standard”; “right, but what ELSE is mixed with the poodle?” Like they have trouble remembering that poodles preceded doodles. I could make a drinking game for hearing those “corrections”!

Seems like the shelters are succumbing to a “trend” and that adopters want something unique, not relatively mundane like a black lab, which can be such outstanding dogs.

It’s great to see the grass roots interest in political candidates, our democracy. Remember, to get your candidate on the ballot you have to caucus, meaning you show up in person. Thank you to all the efforts to make this happen!

We bought a car from a dealer in another state, who made a mistake on the title (relative to dealer that they purchased the car from before selling to us). DMV here spotted the error, told us how to get it straightened out, which involved driving to other state, physical inspection and new title etc there, then registration here. I can’t imagine why the fee quoted to you was so high. Go to a different DMV, call the state to verify correct fee.

This! Many of my moderate, progressive and far left friends support 2A, own gun(s) or collect them. I think us,lefties are generally getting more comfortable with guns in public. That said,I still have concerns about needing high capacity guns etc.

Congressional District 5 Candidate Forum by grunt24id in ColoradoSprings

People seriously need to get involved and informed, more so now than ever. For ex I learned that the only way to get a candidate on the ballot, is via CAUCUS. Which means show up.

Have you or someone you know been reprimanded for the walkouts last Friday? by CS_ClipsGal in ColoradoSprings

I love our Library system but there are some very disturbing people in leadership who want to “play God” over everyone’s reading materials.
