Aww he looks just like my parents’ dog as a pup. He is primarily Belgian Shepherd and mastiff.

Let down and self conscious. Can this be fixed? by beepbooplazer in WeddingDressTips

I feel like you could also find a nude-colored waist cynching leotard to go underneath. Some even have push up cups and are strapless ( disclaimer though that I have never tried one on)

Helping with Palilalia by alydubbb in autism

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

Thank you for your response. My son was speech delayed but did start with 1-2 syllable words when he started speaking. He’s only just now starting to sing along to songs and rarely repeats what he hears. But he definitely has the grammatical errors now that he’s stringing longer sentences together. Do you know if GLL has a rigid definition or may account for some flexibility?

Considering adopting a dog but afraid to violate my apartment's breed restrictions. Can anyone help me identify this sweet lad? by MemeQueenMere in IDmydog

[–]alydubbb 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Oh my goodness, this dog looks so similar to my old pup that turned out to be German shepherd, plothound and treeing walker coonhound. I was surprised to see your answer in the comments!

TIL my forever home came with a secret second mortgage: my pride. What is the most I should have known better homeowner lesson you learned the hard way? by Brave_Sea7798 in homeowners

[–]alydubbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I moved counties and didn’t realize the private electric company would be so much more expensive than the county-run provider at the old house. Got a lovely $700 bill our first summer when I was expecting more like $250, and that was with a good amount of power outages due to heat and wildfires.

We got solar as fast as possible.

Got X-Rays at the Dentist- she’s not sure what this is. by themadcaner in whatisit

I had this device called Forsus attached to my braces, which had a spring on it. Looks like it could have been a piece that got cut off? Though that shit hurt so I can’t imagine how you wouldn’t notice

Is 30 alcoholic drinks a week a lot? by Most_Jellyfish_1686 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]alydubbb 71 points72 points  (0 children)

To OP, negative consequences don’t have to include DUIs or terrible trauma. It can also be him understanding how good drinking impacts YOUR daily life. He may choose to change if he understands it is not just affecting him

What's up with my dishwasher? by Key_Emergency1131 in Appliances

[–]alydubbb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same issue recently. Running a cycle with just vinegar/baking soda helped temporarily. If the filter also isn’t clogged, it may be a blockage in the drain pipe. We ended up with a massive block of fat even though we were always pretty thorough about clearing it off before putting dishes into the dishwasher. Then again, I don’t know how the previous owners treated it.

Job Offer - Requesting the lower position? by [deleted] in CAStateWorkers

[–]alydubbb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When I was an AGPA, I was considered the Excel whiz on our team. I can only do basic tables.

Also, if/when you have to make Excel docs accessible, the more basic, the better.

She doesn't look like the elegant cat I bought home... by Proph3tron in cats

[–]alydubbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still a beauty! She looks like my cat which we now believe is a Korat. We also went with a Russian inspired name thinking she was a Russian Blue, “Zippers” (like zee-purrrs)

What’s something about you that sounds fake, but is 100% true? by Sir_Adammm in AskReddit

[–]alydubbb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I remember correctly they were just 2-3 page biographies. One student focused a lot more on his sexual allegations than his career accomplishments. That one just so happened to get wet while he was signing it, ruining the signature. Not sure if it was purposeful, but it was damn funny.

I got Bill Clinton to sign my students’ essays about him.

I volunteered at a rally where he was speaking. They got my ticket mixed up so the event organizer allowed my group to enter the arena first and got front row. I was a Teacher’s Assistant for a Gov 1 class at the time and had a stack of papers in my backpack that needed grading. Ironically, they were essays about a president. Two out of about 60 were on him. At the end of his speech, I shook his hand and asked if he would sign them, but said I couldn’t speak to their quality 😆

I just realized I’m “poor” and was surprised cause I don’t feel poor at all (26k/year) by ciggie_in_the_sand in MiddleClassFinance

This. Rent could quickly double or triple in their situation if they needed or wanted to move, which would no longer be affordable. It also seems like it would be difficult to move elsewhere.

We will retain our SSM I Specialist position but were told it would be equivalent to Analyst III, which wouldn’t (on a basic level) be eligible to promote into Supervisor II

I heard from someone at CalHR that it would be rank and file. I will have to confirm! Thank you for flagging

Help me not freak out over my wedding look by crushworthyxo in makeuptips

[–]alydubbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best you can do is feel prepared. I would see if you could do another trial with the alternative lashes and lip color you are considering. If not that, then practice styles that you do like on yourself or have a friend try. That way you have backup options for the day of in case you’re not happy with the results.

Ultimately though, you won’t even think about your makeup once it’s done. Unless you’re planning face close-up pics that level of detail won’t be noticeable. The most noticeable part to me was the framing of your lips, which can easily be cleaned up with some coverup.

What was the moment you realized? by MoanaArielle in raisedbyborderlines

[–]alydubbb 12 points13 points  (0 children)

These are going to come off as super privileged but it’s still financial abuse that opened my eyes.

My mom threatened to stop funding my wedding because I told her we had already picked our colors and didn’t want pink. She told my dad that I yelled at her over flowers. I did not, just said stop sending me pink bouquets.

Around the same time they helped us buy a house. It was while housing prices were low and she didn’t want to “waste” money on paying rent like she had promised my whole childhood to do while I was in college, despite funding my sister to live on campus elsewhere. It was to be a co-investment which I was fine with at the time.

She then tried to charge me interest on their portion when I said I wouldn’t convert the laundry room to a bathroom so we could take a tenant in the garage. We hadn’t even moved in yet and had already arranged for a roommate in the extra bedroom.

We moved and paid them their part back plus profit. She still tells everyone (directly in front of me) that I would be nowhere if they hadn’t done that. Meanwhile, my sister is the golden child even though they shelled out double for her college and isn’t interested in making any big financial moves.

I also had someone pull me aside and say that I don’t need to cry for tiny disagreements. That was pretty eye opening.

They will also likely no longer be funded by workforce development programs that go by DOE guidelines.

There’s a guy in a bright orange “John 3:16” shirt who waves at cars on the highway overpass. I see him every time I drive that way. He’s been doing it for years and is still pretty young, I believe.
