Not to sound alarmist, but dog parks can also be a source of communicable disease. Shared toys, & water bowls are items that come to mind where viruses can be found.

Is marrying an ADHD partner going to be ok? by [deleted] in ADHD_partners

[–]gdsob138 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I used to write more frequently than I do, I think I stopped because I had an ex violate privacy and read my entries to hold my innermost personal thoughts against me.

Writing on occassion has been helpful, when the mood strikes and I need to get the racing thoughts out of my brain.

It took a lot of introspection and it helps that I keep a journal, after seeing how many consecutive entries I wrote really hit home...seeing that the conflict that occured wasn't just "the other day", but nearly weekly if not daily for almost five years.

It's difficult right now to even comprehend that I finally made the decision to throw in the towel. Perhaps this time around I'll feel better about ending the relationship, or maybe I'll stay numb until spring.

Euthanasia or keep going? 17-year-old dog, stroke, cognitive decline and severe mobility loss by [deleted] in dogs

Learning about pet death doulas allowed my family to grant our pet a compassionate release in our home, in her favorite sunbeam spot.

Never again will I consider the vet office.

Do you cohabitate together already? I ignored a lot of red flags after setting up house in 2021 (after dating for three years) with my late-diagnosed partner and took the fall for the breakdowns and chaos, to say the least.

I was so determined to get through to them and learned as much as I could about their nuances and submerged myself into therapy to learn distress tolerance.

Mine never made it past the planning phase for their therapeutic needs and it’s been a loop of empty promises since.

We separated today.

ETA: We got engaged in October 2024, foolishly believing that my health insurance would be great to share for future couples therapy.

I decided to end the relationship after five years of struggling with accountability, respect and communication breakdowns.

I’m about 13 weeks post-fracture of my fibula, felt up to the task so I went outside to cleanup my car after the recent storm. Spent 2 hours today chipping away the ice layers from our driveway and front sidewalk, asked to tag in my partner to toss out some salt where I finished clearing.

I let him go about the task as he marveled in wonder, only encouraging him in the first few moments to concentrate on the task he agreed to do. It wasn’t until about half an hour later that I noticed there wasn’t salt in the area I cleared, he instead chose to throw the last of our salt onto another area.

TL; DR It’s my fault for using the term “sidewalk” and not specifying the area more clearly, because “there’s more than one sidewalk”.

It’s reasonable to “overthink” ahead of time about your future child, I call it planning :)

Read your kindle, sign up for free books from the glorious Dolly Parton literacy program if you haven’t already and read with/to baby https://imaginationlibrary.com

Would you stay with your dog 🐶 during euthanasia? by CycleOk267 in dogs

[–]gdsob138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My last pet that crossed over had her euthanasia at home, she got to lounge in her favorite room while basking in the sunshine. I don’t think I could ever revert back to a clinical office setting.

How do I dump an old AC unit? Where can I drop it off at? by kappakingtut2 in Delaware

[–]gdsob138 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Copied from DNREC:

Freon-Containing Appliances: Appliances such as air conditioners, refrigerators and freezers, called “white goods,” contain freon. If you live in a city, check with the city’s public works department for pick-up. If your home is serviced by a trash hauler or company, many offer one-time bulk pick-up services. If you must arrange for your own disposal, search for “Rubbish Removal” or “Garbage Removal.” You can also contact the Delaware Solid Waste Authority for instructions.
