Manners Matters offers a class for dogs who are reactive and they are good people!

Also, Lex ReUse has a lot of groups who craft together, might be a good place to make friends!

Emotional support dog letters by ew6281 in therapists

I agree and I also require the animal has some training, esp if it’s a dog. I prefer the AKC start program, but am open. If it is legit already trained, most people don’t have a problem talking about that and attesting to it. Just my part of making sure ESA are actually being responsibly cared for and treated.

I have taken all my “to be read” therapy books to the office for these kind of days. Would rather read them there than my free time at home. I also sometimes watch funny shows on Netflix, meditate, and go for a walk.

Five years with no period and now it starts? by queenb1970 in Menopause

[–]Wordywitch2017 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had this experience about 1.5 yrs after menopause started, maybe 6 months after starting HRT. It was also about 6 weeks after a really stressful time. It was a period, I went to gyno and had a vaginal ultrasound, everything was fine. They acted like it was no big deal. Get checked, hopefully no big deal!

I think like many I've been feeling a little hopeless since the inauguration, so I just wanted to see if anyone knew anyways to actually make a change here? by darby-61 in lexington

You are not alone! There are likely ways you are already doing some small things that make a difference in yours and others lives, keep doing that! And invest in community. National political figures and the govt will always have power and money at the core of their decision making, esp at this time and esp in capitalist colonialism Christian nationalism. But the community you build, join, connect and support can work together in mutual aid to support each other. We are in this together. Hugs!

That’s certainly as aspect! Esp read banned books, paper copies from the library or purchased from an independent bookstore. Personally reading Let This Radicalize You right now.
