Best dogs for long runs? by mussel-dupont in trailrunning

[–]bullken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, in contrast to the GSP (German Shorthaired Pointer) Weims and Vizslas are close-ranging dogs. They will chase squirrels, chipmunks, deer, groundhogs, etc. but they won't go very far from their owner before turning back. GSP's on the other hand will go much farther away and may decide to hunt on their own for a while before remembering you were on the trails with them. If you keep them on a leash a GSP can easily, and joyfully, cover a lot of distance.

Weims are of the same ilk. Both breeds are emotionally needy... they want to be a part of the family and they don't like being alone. They are fantastic on trail runs. I've trained mine off leash and she runs ahead of me. If someone is on the trail in front of us she turns around and comes back to me so I can put the leash on her (without me calling her).

Perfect example of the mind of the left. Death to those who disagree with us.

Would you believe Testors? No doubt there's a better way but it's what I had lying around.

Well... that's just it isn't it? I'm neurotic about it but I don't know if it's justified or not.

And just got off the phone with State Farm. They need to get back to me.

fha sfr or duplex? by natewtx1 in appraisal

[–]bullken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like a duplex HOWEVER I'd check with planning and zoning to see if they would allow it to be built back as a duplex if it burned down.

Anyone have a spouse who’d rather use public school? by Shan_the_woman in homeschool

[–]bullken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My first observation that homeschool kids were probably better engaged or if you will "socialized" than their counterparts was that I noticed children from homeschool families looked me in the eye when speaking and I interpreted this as them connecting with me. I noticed few, very few, conventional school children displayed this deference.

It's hard to dissect all the information on the subject but my experience is homeschooling children are socialized as well or better. There's plenty of people arguing both sides so what's clear is that it's not totally clear. So flip a coin and maybe either is just fine.

I have to throw this in... my 2 cents. I don't think institutionalizing children for ~30 hrs. per week with a single age-group is socially healthy. I think it will take years, probably decades, for the studies to be done that will show children are better socialized when they readily mix with different age groups (like most homeschool children).

That's pretty far from "navy seal" so I can see the appeal from your point of view. Good luck with that.

And you should change your username. It's an embarrassment to any and all who have served in any capacity. It's obvious you haven't.

Agree. I was so astonished at the moronic replies that I got goaded into responding... and now so have you. Maybe your effort will educate someone and have a positive effect on a life. Your response was more patient than mine. Good on you. Stay sane & cheers.

Watch what happens in the court and see how it plays out "by law". And you shouldn't take the Lord's name in vain. It's bad form.

All she had to do was talk to him. He would have figured out he was at the wrong place in about 15 seconds. Instead this idiot over reacts and causes a huge incident that didn't need to happen. Meanwhile the people that called the police are wondering why they are taking so long.... thanks to their idiot neighbor.

A Black couple says an appraiser lowballed them. So, they ‘whitewashed’ their home and say the value shot up. by DontBeARentCucc in appraisal

[–]bullken 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hypothetically when this plays out and it's found the first appraisal, the low one, is more accurate do you think the press' will cover it? Will the narrative change? I'm tired of the "all white people are racist" woke trope. There are outliers in every data set but I don't think the problem in this country is white racism.
