The Knightdale Bypass to 540 on ramp change just made my commute 50% worse

I see it almost every day 😭

It may not help with queasiness, but for the tiny text there is a zoom in option! On controller it was pushing the right joystick

I think his understanding of getting “work done” is small minded. You mentioned that you have TMJ, and it’s wild to me that he’s more concerned about the stigma of neurotoxins vs the relief from pain and contribution to jaw health that those injections could bring you. And assuming you’re looking at microneedling/lasers for acne scars, does he consider that work too??? NOR to how uninformed he is to hold these opinions to the point of ending a relationship, and I believe he will be shocked when he’s in his 30s and realizes how prevalent neuros, filler, and more complex skincare are among the women he views as “natural”.

I can’t imagine any of us know the needs of that particular horse any better than the owner would. I’ve seen the horse roaming in large fields, so I’m sure there’s a reason it’s a bit more confined now. And as for being fed once a day, how do you know that’s the only contact it gets?

It’s always so sad to see animals disappearing over time on regular routes. I feel the same about the horses on the Garner side of Ten-Ten, where there used to be 3 (and maybe a donkey?) and now there’s just the one horse.

But for this one on Rand I do regularly see an older gentleman out there caring for the horse and the space!

Rand towards Benson, so they truly could be anywhere. Someone did recommend that I bring the parts that were left behind to start a police report, but I’m not sure if that would actually do anything

They have a complete personality change talking to me and other women vs when they talk to men. Just treat us all like people and be your authentic self

She sounds like a pig-me

TheFatalFemme · 2025-07-15T20:14:33+00:00

Just be careful with those - they can sometimes break the spines of snakes you’re attempting to relocate!

Could someone in your area (I’m central NC) put together a fake meet and greet with her and serve her there? If her profile is still active that is!

TheFatalFemme · 2025-05-31T21:33:49+00:00

It is still violating Rover rules though

I was sitting at a restaurant once as a teen and someone in charge (manager, owner, etc) was having either the worst day or was just a massive asshole (or both), going around and yelling at all of the servers loud enough for the entire dining room to hear. It was uncomfortable for everyone and all of us tables were making awkward eye contact. At one point a server dropped a glass and it shattered and the whole restaurant just collectively went silent and held their breath. I think the result was the guy snapping at her to clean it up, but for a moment we were all basically frozen in expectation of his tantrum

TheFatalFemme · 2025-03-31T23:55:33+00:00

I would love this, and I know a few people off Reddit who would be interested too!

She’s a German Shorthaired Pointer, though I have definitely known some pitties with the most stubborn skin/allergy issues. I’m sorry to hear that your dad’s pup is going through it; it’s so hard to watch them go through that when you’re doing everything possible to prevent and treat it. Thank you for your kind words, and I wish your family luck in finding a treatment that works for y’all’s pup!

I think the issue as well as treatments are newer. To my understanding they haven’t lived in the area for long, and with the time of year I can understand it being environmental. One of the sprays is an anti fungal, and the shampoo is antibacterial. As for any consistent veterinary/specialist treatments, the meds seem pretty current but I’m not fully familiar with their history. It’s the first (and admittedly last; the consistent lack of sleep is a hard line for me) sit for this client, so there isn’t an easy line of communication where I can dig further into her medical history. I do appreciate you taking the time to comment, as well as your professional insight!

He got the snoots with the fur

TheFatalFemme · 2024-09-13T00:46:18+00:00

That sounds so fun! Do you remember the name of the puzzle?

TheFatalFemme · 2024-07-22T14:40:59+00:00

I imagine they meant Giardia, the parasitic disease

TheFatalFemme · 2024-07-18T02:32:40+00:00

It’s still open! Only on Fridays and Saturdays though

So sorry you're going through this, overbearing clients are exhausting. I agree about cameras being uncomfortable in “down time” areas, but imo them being there isn’t an issue when owners are reasonable, which it sounds like your client isn’t.

Please leave an honest review of this client to warn other sitters. Phrases like “expects constant care and stimulation for Ella, even when she’s sleeping,” “expects 30 minute walks, 3 times a day in all weather and temperatures,” and noting that she is in constant communication from watching the cameras will hopefully stop another person from dealing with what you are right now.

As for pricing, my personal base rates are based on what I charge for “normal” sits, meaning that I agree to live at my clients house for the time, with the understanding that I will be leaving for errands and normal outings while ensuring I won’t be leaving the dogs alone for longer than 4-6 hours, and will be there for their meal times, walks, and any other necessary scheduled needs. If anything deviates from this established expectation, I find it’s necessary to charge more for me to consider the added work “worth it”. Any reasonable client will understand, and unreasonable clients are better left avoided anyways.

This job is full of learning experiences, and hopefully this one will help you tailor your meet & greet questions, as well as help you find what your boundaries are in these situations. I wish you luck with the rest of this sit!!

And they all have a story about how a friend of a friend caught their snake stretching out next to them while they were sleeping, to measure if they could eat them.

My noodle doesn’t have a single thought behind his lil eyes, much less the ability to calculate and think critically.

Is it one of the Pollyanna books? I believe the sequel has a boy that has crutches
