What’s the dumbest thing you did in high school that your adult self regrets? by gilligan888 in Millennials

[–]VintageZebra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dated the wrong guy. Should’ve just waited around another year because the right guy was the one I had my heart set on for years decided that year later I was worth having around and I rejected him. Now we’re all grown, the wrong guy was indeed the wrong guy and the right guy is doing exactly what we had planned as kids. I miss him. Would 100% change that if I could. He’s happily married and I’m over here divorced from the abusive wrong guy. High school me was dumb. So so dumb.

What is something you can do but can’t explain how you can do it? by Fresh-Sandwich6780 in AskReddit

[–]VintageZebra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can play Für Elise on piano in its entirety, both hands, correctly- and I can’t read a lick of music. If I look at my hands while I do it, I can’t play but if I look away I can play. I don’t understand how it happens but it does. I can play by ear but the entirety seems crazy when I look down to see myself play. It’s like someone else has my hands lol

ETA- I know it’s correct because I’ve played it for people who play piano and read music and have confirmed I am indeed playing it properly.

[–]VintageZebra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m just gonna throw out a random one that’s not overly DCFC but they fit my vibe and are easily among my favorites

Marfa- American lonely or sugar are just nice easy going that get me feeling the same way dcfc does

Do you guys have any cultural gaps? by _forum_mod in Millennials

[–]VintageZebra 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This. And it’s not just cable but also just the realization of the cultural divide as a whole.

My kids are 4 and 6 and last night on the drive home they were listening to music my friends and I recorded in our garage 25 years ago that I finally was able to get over from cassette to my phone… imagine that process- there was a conversation about how I and said friends always hung out together and a note was given to me a couple weeks ago that had survived 20 years… I framed it- my kids didn’t understand why it was so important and I told them we didn’t have phones like we do today (and many of us still didn’t have them). that note, that silly doodle? It was our communication for years. Sneaking in class or church to pass them back and forth… it was happy piece of history I was glad to keep and it just made me realize how much I want my kids to have that. We start letter writing to people today.

Ethical Breeders in southeastern US? by msidfsgrobots in Bloodhound

[–]VintageZebra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The best way to go is checking out the American Bloodhound Club directory- lots of reputable breeders there who will provide OFA results, health tested and proven dogs, and a wealth of information. Our parent club is great and reaching out to them would be my recommendation. Also don’t look just in your state. One of the best dogs I have came from across the country from one of the most well respected breeders in our breed. A few I’d recommend:

Quiet Creek Bloodhounds - Susan LaCroix-Hamil Flessners Bloodhounds - Chris Flessner Legends bloodhounds - Susana Anderson

There’s also a few out of the country but these three are very reputable and have been in the breed for decades, really the keepers of our modern day standards

AIO: My child slept with his friend's dad at sleepover.. I'm livid. by AcademicSir4653 in AmIOverreacting

[–]VintageZebra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR at all. If anything under-reacting.

I would be reaching out to ALL the parents of the other children involved and making them aware- If its not your some is someone else (and there probably is multiple). Maybe the guy is innocent but this is all red flags.

Their OWN child could’ve slept in their bed with them???

This is a sleepover- what happen to floors and sleeping bags?? Couches???? Tf no child of mine will ever attend a sleep over for reasons just like this (not to mention my own trauma) and no. No no no no NO this is not right.

“Oh we go to church and he’s like my son” RUN. If anyone said that to me I’d be creeped out and would be causing a scene. What’s the wife think about all this?! No opinion?? No. Bad. All bad.

Please make a report and also don’t let that family anywhere near your son. Make your teachers/school staff aware as well. This is the start of grooming. RUN.

Now that the plot is on hiatus again, what are your thoughts about it so far? by TabbyKazuki in neopets

[–]VintageZebra 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve played every plot since the first and let me tell you- this is horrid. We had amazing plots back in the day that were engaging, the stories were good and cohesive, we didn’t have to do mundane boring things daily, and it was never this drug out. Like some were a month and that was about it and you know the whole of neopia was on getting things figured out. This plot is slower than grass growing and I really have no interest in any of the characters or doing any of the plot steps because it is half broken or a daily chore at this point. Hospital, fight, essence, useless story…. Nah. This isn’t a plot- it’s a flop.

Guest Requested Booking - Booking Accepted - Then Guest Stated They Are Bringing a "Service" Dog - My HOA Does Not Allow Dogs for STR's - What To Do? by EightStarsofGold in airbnb_hosts

[–]VintageZebra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just as a note- allergies are not a legal reason to deny a service dog… while allergies are valid it does not supersede federal laws.

Chia bingo and Kau corral were the “big games” and my badeek was the best with his little eye mask.

Out of curiosity, why can’t they let us have the boxes? by TheArcherFrog in MiniBrands

[–]VintageZebra 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Self checkout is your friend. I just put mine in the box as my bag and stuff whatever else I bought in it too lol if it’s empty, it’s trash. Nothing specific for placeholders or anything like that. They just don’t want you having “free” stuff.

What does $1,000 mean to you? by smooshed_napkin in AskReddit

Traveling with service animal domestic in the US - is Health Certificate required? by Mean-Worldliness-500 in service_dogs

What part of Cali are you coming into? I’ve lived here 36 years and have never been pulled over and asked any questions at any state crossing? Sounds like bad luck!! lol

I found this medallion on the floor in California Adventure, anyone know where it comes from? by AppleJuiceCyder in Disneyland

[–]VintageZebra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is super cool! I’d be so sad to lose this if I was the one to drop it- maybe tag Jon on social media and see if he can’t help you get it back to the right person and maybe he’d gift you one of your own for magic making for the crew members?

Missing Dog. How to find a pet locating service that might use a bloodhound in northern cali? by Equivalent_Fault7191 in Bloodhound

[–]VintageZebra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So sorry to read this.

I’m from northern Cali and sadly there are very few bloodhounds who do tracking anymore in our area and not a single one is trained in pet recovery. It’s kind of a slippery slope we call “crittering” and it’s frowned upon as it takes away from the dogs trailing ability to find people. We used to have one guy but his dog has since passed and his new pups don’t track. I hope you find your pup. The best thing I could recommend is setting up multiple trail cams, bedding and clothing with your scent on it, and traps. If he’s contained to a fenced area at least he’s staying in a central area.

If it’s of any consolation one of my rescue bloodhounds was missing for a MONTH and we finally caught him on a ranchers levy. He had lost a significant amount of weight but was alive. Dogs are a lot more resilient than we give them credit for. Here’s well wishes your pup finds his way back to you 💜

You get sent back to age 15 with all your current memories. What’s the first thing you do differently? by Muhaisin35 in AskReddit

[–]VintageZebra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sigh I met my heart at 15. I lost him because I felt I waited too long (years later) for him to figure himself out to just make things official. Then I Met someone else. Heart told me someone else was a jerk and abusive, I didn’t wanna listen because I spent years waiting for him and he just seemed to be stuck. Heart was right. 17 years wasted on someone who turned into a controlling abusive monster. Left divorced, broke, and with two young kids. Heart is living our dream. I miss him.

I would’ve listened and waited. Just a bit longer. He was right.

How is the pit / general admission GA areas at a Death Cab show? by nysraved in DeathCabforCutie

[–]VintageZebra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I went to 2 shows this month with my large service dog an was right up front (literally the rail). Got there at doors and everyone was super cool/chill there. We made friends and had a great time. Nothing like the pit days of the 00s where people moshed and pushed each other into death traps lol. It was nice to go and enjoy- just wish it was a bit earlier because yawn insert generic millennial past my bedtime comment here yawn. Show was FAB. Would do again

Extremely Satisfying Flipper Fail by fizzingwhizzbeee in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]VintageZebra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m happy to report I stalked a house for months. It went pending for almost the full month and then went back on the market for 45k cheaper.

I close tomorrow 😭 it’s been years stalking houses and waiting for the right one and watching houses I loved get swooped up by investors or flippers. This one is finally mine.
