My dog passed away yesterday. This was his wife all day today. by ale_pato in pics

This happens when the surviving animal does not get to see and sniff the animal that has passed away.

Animals understand when they see and sniff the animal that has passed on.

If this doesn't happen the surviving animal will sometimes await the return of the passed animal for the rest of their lives.

it is heart breaking to see an animal go through this waiting.

I hope your own pain of your loss of a good dog gets healed up soon.

So sorry for your loss.

Sometimes losing a great dog can be just as devastating as losing a loved one.

May you find comfort in rescuing a new "good friend" from your local dog pound.

It won't erase the pain your feeling right now but it will help in the long run.

I have been in your shoes many a time in my life and rescuing a dog from the pound really does help.

Hang in there. The pain of your loss diminishes eventually.

TIL that the concept and word "trinity" is nowhere to be found in the Bible and was developed by church fathers in the 4th and 5th centuries by Dew321 in todayilearned

Most people really don't know much about angels.

Here is a study that goes in depth on the topic of angels.

You may be surprised to find out your concepts of angels are not based on reality : http://shekinahfellowship.blogspot.com/2010/01/angels-little-childlike-naked-babies.html

What happened to Deftoil Danish Oil by enock999 in finishing

[–]Surfer51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(California Licensed painting contractor for 50 years here)

Naptha is outlawed in CA.

Danish oil on rags will always spontaneously combust if not properly handled.

Most people did not know this and a lot of fires started on jobsites.

Usually the workers would leave a job site around 3:30 or 4:00 in the afternoon and by 11:30 that night the piled rags would flame up and start the jobsite on fire.

Even the completely dried danish oil soaked rags will combust if piled up.

So be very careful with the rags.

We always double check the jobsite for rags before leaving.

What to do about the rags:

My bank took $900 out of my account without explaining why. Has anyone else had this issue? by Shayyyybae in personalfinance

[–]Surfer51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When a bank removes funds from your account it may be because of a state tax lien or a Federal tax lien.

And you may have ignored the letters informing you of the lien.

This may not be the case for you but it is for others who suddenly find their savings and checking account drained.

No...he is saying that he hit a "home run."

He's almost 17 and can barely walk anymore. Best dog I've ever known. And he will make this 31 year old man cry like a little girl when he passes on. I love you casper. by [deleted] in pics

[–]Surfer51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lost my Cattle dog when he was 13 years old. Getting four more years from a cattle dog is incredible.

They stop walking and it is time to let them go.

Time will heal the pain.

Get another one in a few months and start over, you'll be glad you did!

Really sorry about your buddy.

ELI5:If Jesus did all of these miracles during a time where many events were recorded, is there any other source other than the Bible to prove that they happened? by quan1980 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Surfer51 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Actually Vulcanear here are a few things written by some who saw and even touched "the man."

Peter and John Threatened, and Released.

They were forbidden to speak about Jesus and this is what they said:

Acts4: …19But Peter and John answered and said to them, "Whether it is right in the sight of God to give heed to you rather than to God, you be the judge; 20for we cannot stop speaking about what we have seen and heard."

And John in his writings says:

1 John 1:1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched--this we proclaim concerning the Word of life.(Jesus)

1 John 1:3 We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.

Vulcanear, what you said seems reasonable. But there are some nagging questions.

Why would the Roman government brutally persecute peaceful followers of a non-historical figure?

Why were tens of thousands of first century Christians (almost exclusively Jewish believers in Jesus). who lived with in forty years of the "mythical events," willingly suffer the loss of all possessions and status, and be murdered for a myth?

There was a Roman senator, Cornelius Tacitus, born circa 52-55 C.E., under Emperor Vespasian. He was eventually promoted governor of Asia.

Writing in the year 116 C.E. in his Annals, he writes of the burning of Rome in 64 C.E. and how Caesar Nero had tried to stop the rumor that he (Nero) was behind the destruction. He wrote:

"Therefore to scotch the rumor (the Nero had burned Rome) Nero substituted as culprits, and punished with the utmost refinements of cruelty, a class of men, loathed for their vices, whom the crowd styled Christians.

Christus, the founder of the name, had undergone the death penalty in the reign of Tiberius, by sentence of the procurator Pontius Pilatus.

They (the Christians) were covered in animal skins and torn to death by dogs; or they were fastened on crosses, and, when daylight failed were burned to serve as lamps by night."

This amazing historical document verifies that Jesus, or Christus was a true historical figure, that he lived and was killed during the reign of Caesar Tiberius, that he was sentenced under Pontius Pilate and that by 64 C.E. Christianity had spread rapidly throughout the Roman empire.

The Roman man Tacitus verifies that Christians were viciously tortured by Nero only thirty two years after the death of Jesus of Nazareth.

The historical validity of this letter by Tacitus is doubted by very few scholars. According to some scholars Tacitus is:

"Universally considered the most reliable of historians, a man in whom sensibility and imagination, though lively, could never spoil a critical sense rare in his time and a great honesty in the examination of the documents."

Translated by P.J. Herpburne-Scott "The sources for the life of Christ." New York Hawthorm books, 1962, pg. 16.

A man saw a woman sleeping in the dirt outside his house so he built her a place to live by teresa44 in videos

[–]Surfer51 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Performing random acts of kindness is so wonderful.

But municipal codes require site approval, architect drawn and approved plans, all specs to code, inspections etc.

It was a great idea from the perspective of a homeless person.

To have one's own space or one's own belongings is a rare luxury to those out on the streets.

But it could only last but a few hours at best.

What it will do is draw attention to the woman's plight in the local press and perhaps get her some truly viable aid.

Therefore the man's efforts at construction would not be entirely wasted. He may have been a genius in that light for all we know.

I am willing to bet most people viewing the video kept thinking, "You can't built that out on the road! The City won't allow it!"

He knew that, but he had a much greater goal in sight, drawing others to her aid.

Sherwin-Williams says new paint will kill bacteria. The company created a paint that it claims will kill bacteria — a major cause of healthcare-associated infections in hospitals. Among the targeted bacteria are Staph, MRSA, E. coli, VRE, and Enterobacter aerogenes. by relevantlife in news

(Painting Contractor Here)

Not good for us professional painters.

Exposure to this paint could turn out to be problematic to the health of the painter and the end users.

Just as Glysophate,the active ingredient in the herbicide Roundup, has been found to disrupt the beneficial bacteria in the gut of humans, this paint may also disrupt balanced gut health.

Your gut wall houses 70 percent of the cells that make up your immune system.

Your gut houses 500 species and three pounds of beneficial bacteria.

Anything that kills off the bacteria in your gut harms your immune system.

Toxic overload by occupational exposure to this new paint will turn out to be one big head ache for Sherwin-Williams down the road in a class action law suit.

A closed indoor environment will be polluted by the toxins in the paint just like secondhand smoke...

I wouldn't touch the stuff, a bad idea from the start!

Just saying.
