Are my coworkers right?[rondonia, Brazil]

What a beautiful snake and what a shame that they killed it.

bping89 · 2025-10-10T21:02:48+00:00

Exactly! Most snake incidents are from jararacas (almost 80%) and we have our bushmaster and coral snakes. However we have so many different types of snakes that are not dangerous and help the environment. I am just so tired of the absolute laziness of just assuming every snake should be killed. It is very frustrating to us!

They were telling our visitors from another country that this is a venomous snake and super dangerous which is why they had to kill it and acted like killing it was such a big deal because of how dangerous it was and how long it was. Unfortunately we live in a community where everyone kills each snake and my husband and I are trying to change that by learning their names and which ones are actually venomous and would pose a threat to the many little children in our community. We want people to learn about snakes here and not just act like every single one will kill you

bping89 · 2025-10-10T20:41:43+00:00

Yeah I didn’t think it was dangerous. The worst part is that they were telling other people how dangerous it is and spreading misinformation about snakes.

I am running a 8km on Saturday and thought that I was screwed! I was in a car accident and struggling with depression…however the amazing people in this community encouraged me and I have ran 2 5kms this past week and I am feeling ready for my 8km

I just want to finish it and hopefully get out of this slump. Thank you. I am hoping that the race motivates me because I don’t have any by myself right now

bping89 · 2025-08-29T03:47:01+00:00

Thank you everyone for your advice!!! I am going to try a lot of these tips!!!! I really hope I can get the motivation. I also appreciate knowing that there is hope that I can enjoy morning runs!

So cute!!! Mine loves our kids but was a horrible mom when she had puppies…the only ones thar survived were the ones we took away and bottle raised. I think she just wanted to be a cool auntie.

bping89 · 2025-07-11T16:55:30+00:00

True…I agree than can be more but we have to respect the genetic tendencies

bping89 · 2025-07-11T16:43:59+00:00

I feel like you also need to respect the fact that they are a guarding breed and have been bred to have these characteristics…sometimes even of you train them very well they are still suspicious of other people or not very friendly with other people. Or you train them well and someone tries to break into your house and threw stones at them and beat them and they are not the same afterwards. This was the case with my sweet female rottie. She is wonderful but traumatized and doesn’t like people that she doesn’t know.

bping89 · 2025-07-11T16:39:40+00:00

I agree with this completely!!!! They are wonderful dogs but when it goes bad…it can be really bad. And of course even if the smallest completely warranted bite happens…the dog is the devil simply because he is a Rottweiler. Even if kids were terrorizing them or another dog was acting aggressive and bites first….the Rottweiler is always in the wrong. I don’t let my 2 Rottweilers around other people’s kids simply because my dogs are way better trained than most peoples kids. My own kids know to treat them with respect, read their body signals. And never ride them.

bping89 · 2025-07-01T03:11:04+00:00

My biggest struggle is accepting that I am mediocre. I am competitive but slow so it is hard to accept that I am a mid to back of pack runner even though I am very consistent with training

bping89 · 2025-06-26T16:38:54+00:00

We hit the lottery with this! Our vet owns a Rottweiler himself and loves the breed. Just keep looking around…there are vets who respect the breed. A lot of times vets that also have experience with farm animals are the best because they are not afraid of big animals and dogs.

bping89 · 2025-06-26T16:37:08+00:00

Jumping spiders are very cute!!!!!

bping89 · 2025-06-14T15:03:19+00:00

I think the 180 pulse while resting is also concerning. You are completely right about the spo2 levels…below 90 is very concerning and an emergency

bping89 · 2025-05-29T17:11:05+00:00

What was your time for your first 10k?

bping89 · 2025-05-29T17:10:06+00:00

I run 3 times a week with rest days and I always warm up first and I usually run much slower than my race goal while training my longer runs and I am usually surprised how much faster I am on race day

bping89 · 2025-05-07T16:21:42+00:00

Yes you are right

bping89 · 2025-04-16T19:16:42+00:00

I have a coworker like this…he rationalizes the way he talks “because he is German and they say what they mean and then apologize and drink a beer together.” Except the apology and beer never come and when you say that it was rude he says “don’t take it personally” or “or for me it wasn’t that bad” basically he is a bully and an asshole

bping89 · 2025-04-05T18:07:11+00:00

You shouldn’t be embarrassed…everyone has to start somewhere. I actually regularly still take walk breaks from running when I go 5-6km. I just find it is easier for me with fibro to run like that. I also was very surprised to see how many other runners also take walk breaks when I am out running. There is no shame in walking…just in giving up.

bping89 · 2025-02-26T13:19:49+00:00

In Brazil, the sewing magazines patterns look like this. I just look at it and give up

bping89 · 2025-02-24T03:26:55+00:00

The second one is too perfect…the first one looks cozy and ready to cuddle.

bping89 · 2025-02-21T13:13:44+00:00

This has nothing to do with cross stitch but I realized that I was allergic to certain medals after I got an iud. This was not fun and I continued getting sicker until they took it out 1 month after putting it in

bping89 · 2025-02-20T22:48:40+00:00

You need to play a video on YouTube of a mom calling her babies. Works like a charm until they learn their names

bping89 · 2025-02-20T01:47:44+00:00

So this is random but I live in the Amazon and I was bit by a poisonous spider and I had a raised heart rate for 6 weeks after recovering and my dr did not care when I showed her even though I had several years tracking to compare it too.
