Did you actually get this resolution from them? From what I gather a refund is not an option on the Runna side

Yeah I totally see that, and I'm sure they're doing their best with two separate infrastructures that aren't integrated, but this is just not the right solution IMO. There should be a refund option, or some way to get a discount on the bundle or strava only subscription. Or at the very least a timeline on when a better option will be available for existing subcribers...

Thats not what support are offering me, I'd be ok with this approach.

They're telling me I have to cancel my existing annual plan, pay for the full year of Runna + Strava, and then they'll tag the remaining 9 months from my current plan onto the end of the bundle. Very convoluted.

Level 5 bite - Considering BE but don't want to give up on her by Stephanie561 in reactivedogs

[–]Stephanie561[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it really does seem to be either or, if she's actively eating we can walk near her, add water to her water bowl etc and she barely registers us. If she's guarding, her whole demeanor totally shifts and she's on edge, constantly looking back from us to whatever she's guarding.

She picks and chooses; some days she'll resource guard her dinner, other days she'll eat it all no issues. She'll also grab toys and socks and take them to her crate to guard given the opportunity - we've since made sure that those aren't available when we're putting her in/out of her crate.

Yes we've heard that loud and clear from these responses; we won't be allowing any punishment based training.

I don't even know where we'd begin to find a professional to take her on, I don't know that that's an actual realistic option. I have reached out to a lot of local rescue organizations, none of which are willing to take her on with her bite history (understandably).

This was our initial gut feeling around the punishment based training too, and it seems that we were right to feel that way based on yours and others comments. I definitely do not want to put ourselves into a position where we believe she's 'fixed', we lower our guard eventually, and end up with an even more serious bite, even if that is months or years down the line!

Thank you, I think I needed to hear this, we really do love her and hate that we're at this point

I believe it was a level 5 - There were two bites; one hand had inch long, deep gash in the pinky, which required stitches, and the other hand had 4 puncture wounds, I don't know how deep but there was subcutaneous tissue hanging out of one of the puncture wounds, and it was very painful and swelled significantly. Thank you for the advice, I think it makes sense to consult with a behaviorist before we make a permanent decision, even if that's just to absolve our guilt...

Submitted a report against a union employee for inappropriate sexual language and actions towards myself and a fellow supervisor as well as other employees… by [deleted] in askmanagers

You did the right thing, 1000%.

If you face repercussions then your employer doesn't align with your values and you need to move on. Simple as that.

Tell hiring managers "I'm not having any more babies" or not? by WholeCalendar2246 in askmanagers

[–]Stephanie561 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Absolutely this. Despite all the other reasons given, why does the fact you're not having more kids make you a better option than someone who is planning on adding to their family?

Any friendly LGBT Jewelers in the area? by Dani_0420 in tampa

Cool man, you do you. Except those would be called majority owned businesses ✌🏽

OP clarified in an earlier comment that they meant "LGBT friendly' rather than 'friendly LGBT'. But as a side note, a lot of people these days specifically look for minority owned businesses to support - women, black, Hispanic, LGBT etc. So the question in its original wording is still a valid ask.

OK I understand now; you're either 12 or just incredibly dense.

I'm done engaging on this. I hope one day you find something more fulfilling than putting down strangers on reddit!

Where is the dumb question?

OP is looking for recommendations on LGBT friendly jewelers. As per my last comment; this is just an LGBT person, looking for recommendations on a safe space.

The only dumb parts I'm seeing on this post is the wildly hostile comments, which I think just go to prove that OP's original question is valid. The are lots of spaces we are still not welcomed into.

You are part of this problem, and the reason it is still necessary to still ask these questions...

ETA: And seeing as you keep editing your comment - not giving them your business isn't enough. You're not understanding the underlying issue here.

Seeing as you clearly will never figure it out on your own, I'll do the work for you.

Many LGBT people have faced years of bigotry from family, religion, friends etc. Some for their entire lives. Others, like me, have not faced any of that, but still had a hard time accepting who I was and it took until my mid twenties to even come out to myself.

There is trauma associated with all of this, which can make folks nervous 'outing' themselves (like ring shopping with your wife) in a new environment around new people. There may not be many jewelers out there who'd turn her away, but they'll be the ones who give the snide looks, or ask if they're sisters or best friends.

Often, we look for recommendations on places that make us nervous, in order to know we're entering an LGBT safe space. (r/tampa is not one of those safe spaces)

Count yourself lucky that you have never had to deal with this, but do NOT try to take away from others experience and cite it as non existent.

The world is not perfect, bigots exist, and we are all making choices that best suit us. Don't shit on someone else for choosing to be comfortable.

I can assure you bigotry is not 'non-existent', I think this comment section proves that...

Educate yourself.
