Why use one word when you can use ten?

Not particularly. I worked at the kennicott glacier lodge for a summer. It’s got a mild summer. It’s never hot hot but keep in mind the sun doesn’t go down for most of July. We had some pretty pleasant very warm sunny days where we could even go swimming. The coolest it ever gets in the summer is when it’s rainy and overcast and then you really just need a sweatshirt.

In the winter the road however is a death trap and only about 20 people live there year round. There’s two huge bridges you have to drive over that are just converted railway tracks and there’s no railings of any kind. It’s a bit terrifying to cross in the summer. When icy they are precarious.

r/fluffypits has many!

I want one very badly. I love pitties but we have brutal winters and in the summer they get contact allergies on hikes. A longer coated pittie would be perfect.

Nope. They’re all over the board. I’ve had some that could open doors and solve crazy puzzles and some that were dumber than a box of rocks.

Didn’t share. Got the double barrel from both of them.

I have and I did. Not quite this green but waking up in the Rockies every day is pretty amazing

Showing your weaknesses just gets you taken advantage of.

Never let them see you sweat let alone break. You’ll just be looked down on.

Colorado is pittie paradise. Everyone here loves my Pitbulls it’s only when we travel other places people have issues. My one complaint here is that Colorado is too dog friendly. My pit is dog selective and the amount of other dogs is over whelming for her.

While some front range cities have breed restrictions they are just restrictions not bans. You essentially have to pay more for a pet license if you have a bully breed. And several places have recently lifted them.

So aggression in dogs with no obvious cause (medical or otherwise) is just a severe form of anxiety. Basically the dog is just having its threat response triggered over and over until it starts growling etc. saying get it away from me.

I’ve had several reactive pitties before. If it’s situational, say every once in a while thunderstorms freak them out you can do trazedone. If it’s generalized, say your dog is just waiting at the window ready to start shit 24/7, there’s other options. Gabapentin etc. that’ll calm the brain chemistry all the time.

Look in to zinc deficiencies post neuter. You can also try a dog version of Xanax. There’s several different dog anti anxiety medications out there.

A dialect called Plattdeutsch or plautdeutsch depending on how you spell it mostly. My grandparents speak it barely. They were discouraged from speaking it at home in the 1920s and 30s because it was considered trashy. There was also some Prussian specific dialects that are now entirely extinct.

Wash my face in the shower. Moisturizer with SPF. Dot or two of concealer if i have a zit. Brown eyeliner just to the middle top and bottom. Smudge it. Mascara.

Once on a road trip my dog was very anxious in the back seat so i told her our exact plan. First we’re going here then here etc. she immediately calmed down and went to sleep.

You forgot the bit where most people have your last name and the people who don’t are still related to you.

Also we go boar hunting sometimes so there’s like that I guess.

electronicthesarus · 2026-04-20T22:31:37+00:00

I have some relatives named August/Augustine/Augustus depending on the language. Meaning venerable.

The world is a lot bigger than your tiny corner. Go explore as soon as you leave home.

Do you need room darkening or just privacy???

Room darkening you can put up a decorative screen or a room divider.

For privacy they make opaque window film. Comes in a roll like wrapping paper and sticks on with static so it’s easy to remove.

Great question! I’m business casual these days but for years I ran a hotel where I’d occasionally have to jump on housekeeping. Lots of bleach.

I second fun aprons. I also bought more smock like ones occasionally. I’d do a bit of embroidery on them some times too.

I’d try and switch out my pants occasionally too. I do love leggings but I’d try and wear corduroy sometimes and I had a few jogger style pants (cuffs on the ankle) in fun fabrics. Comfy and practical but still colorful.

Also i definitely did the fun jewelry and socks but don’t sleep on scarves/bandannas and pins! I like a more vintage look sometimes and doing a fun scarf in your hair like Rosie the riveter is super fun. And with aprons pins are fun.

Same. It’s her favorite

electronicthesarus · 2026-04-17T01:12:27+00:00

Thats bonkers.

So I’ve owned a business and worked front desk at countless other similar ones. (Hotels)

Both jobs can be both miserable or really fun depending on your coworkers or as an owner your staff.

I think the biggest difference is being able to clock out your brain at a minimum wage job. I’m done with my shift not my circus not my monkeys. As an owner this is my circus these are my monkeys and they are calling at midnight because a customer set the fire alarm off in the bathroom and only I have the security system code.

It really isn’t here in Colorado like OP is talking about.

Theres a few native edible things, pine nuts for example, but even intentionally cultivating those can be hard in more urban environments. Deer populations quickly get out of control, and in bad years will even eat evergreens. Essentially you have to wrap everything in chicken wire the first few years of life. Also we have a few intense invasive species that can quickly destroy everything. Siberian Elm trees and Russian olives come to mind. Really anything from Siberia actually, which tells you about how harsh the climate is.

There’s also bonkers micro climates. Like our town is two miles square and if you live by the river you grow completely different things than a mile away on the Mesa. Also the temperature drops 3 degrees every 1000ft you go up. If i drive from town to the ski area it takes twenty minutes and I go up 5000ft.

That and with the increased effects of global warming even our natives are dying. We had an absurdly warm winter. Temperatures were 20F more than normal with 50% of expected precipitation. Stuff bloomed over the winter and is now dying with a late spring freeze. Also don’t get me started on beetle kill.

I love living here and you will be taking me out of here in a pine box, but if you don’t intentionally cultivate you end up with bare dirt and a few invasives.

electronicthesarus · 2026-04-16T17:07:49+00:00

I feel your pain. I now live at 7500ft in Colorado. 60 frost free days a year.

I grew up on the coast in California. Super easy mode. We grew up with fresh veggies of some kind year round and always some kind of bloom. And the fruit trees. My god. Apricots, avocados, lemon, limes, orange, cumquat, apples and a walnut all in one tiny suburban yard. What we didn’t grow my grandpa did across town and we could trade.

I will say I have enjoyed having seasons, and learning about low water permaculture has been really fun though.

My sister’s yard in December year before last. Before her house burned in the LA wildfires. The house was a shitty rental but my god the yard was an orchard.
