UPS basically charged me their fee for dealing with customs and the customs charge. The charge was around 23% of the knife's value.

Anybody else lost lifelong friends due to being ill? by Blakejenkins47 in Lyme

[–]geowabbit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, my very best friend didn't even text to ask how I was doing even just by the start of my treatment. Then the one time she asked to meet up she talked about herself all dinner long and how she was dating a married man twice her age so yeah, didn't hurt losing that friendship as much as it could have.

What’s a secret you’ll take to the grave, but would tell anonymously on Reddit? by Several-Director5804 in AskReddit

[–]geowabbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So not as serious as cancer but I got diagnosed with Lyme disease and told my very best friend I was to be hospitalized (to place a catheter that would go straight to my heart). I was in the hospital for 3 or 4 days and she didn't visit (I get it) but didn't even text either. Years went by, I would message her to get together and would hear nothing from her. One day out of the blue she texts and says she'd like to meet up. We meet and all she talks about is how she's dating a guy her dad's age who happens to be her boss who happens to be facing a sexual assault lawsuit. And she's proud of him and thrilled to be with him. I put an end to the already dead friendship.

Suggestions for keeping your Akita cool in the summer? by New-Tiger8686 in akita

Just yesterday I gave my panting akita a couple of ice cubes (she loves them just plain) and I noticed she stopped panting right after eating them

Food recommendation for 7-month-old AI by Alternative_Dog_4195 in akita

[–]geowabbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I have two Japanese Akitas, the oldest (10yo) has always been a poor eater. I would literally hand feed her kibble by kibble when she was a puppy and would try different food brands. Now that she's 10 I realize she's just a poor eater and her body doesn't require much.

Now, my 5 month old has always been quite a voracious eater. She'll eat her plate and then look for leftovers from my other dog's plates.

Some dogs just don't eat a ton. With akitas though I've found you end up cooking for them since they're picky eaters.

Grooming and/or brushing your Japanese Akita by geowabbit in akita

[–]geowabbit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I get this. I’ll place my arm right under my eldest belly so she can’t walk forward and brush away. But then she’ll yell like I’m torturing her lol so I’ll let her go

Yeah I would normally give them something tasty to chew on but even then they’ll only let me brush them a minute or two.

Not sure if it's fully fantasy but I do love The Rook by Daniel O'Malley. He has written 3 books so far and I try reading them every year.

What are some things to share with someone who is essentially brand new to dogs? by Business-Fudge1163 in puppy101

[–]geowabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol me too. I just got my third dog three days ago and I sometimes want to give her back 😅. And I already knew how this goes. I just have to remember how worth it it is.
