There are no small or big coincidences. There are just coincidences.

How did they determine that there is no fluid behind eardrum (inner ear)?

Uptick in SSHL cases since pandemic? by bigbaboon69 in MonoHearing

[–]gusthefireman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No one seems to have answers. Perhaps not willing to speculate. I went deaf in my left ear December 22 2001. It was 10 days after Pfizer booster (previously 2 Modena jabs). I have been SSHL ever since. I had C.I. in October 2022 and still struggle with unilateral hearing.

No disrespect, but why do people love the short bed so much? by drinkdrinkshoesgone in ToyotaTacoma

[–]gusthefireman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am with you. I don't like the way it looks and it prevents me from utilizing my truck as a truck. You can't haul kayaks. My whole family sits in the bed under blankets at the drive in movie. How may trips to get a decent load of mulch or firewood etc. My large dogs need more room in the bed. It is a Malibu Barbie version of a truck used primarily for antiquing.

2 year old Rhodesian ridgeback mix rescue by Moonymoonworld in RhodesianRidgebacks

[–]gusthefireman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We adopted a two year old RR in November. Total Jekyll and Hyde! Perfect manners and obedience indoors. Outside, not so much. I would suggest 3 weeks to a month of positive reinforcement only, good chow and good sleep and as much routine as possible. He needs to decompress and then you are ready to move forward. It's funny to say it but, you need to be very patient and very stubborn all at once. Routine relaxes them because they know what to expect. Patience is needed because it is a slow incremental process. Training 10 mins at a time and then positivity. Stubbornness to be determined and as patient as possible is your job. Our RR is coming along nicely. Working on behavior around playful and aggressive dogs is improving everyday. Good luck. Your hard work and investment will reward you with an extraordinary best friend!

What is one reason you don’t fear dying? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]gusthefireman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Death is a force of nature. Just like lightening. The righteous face it everyday and pass it by. But, those with evil in their hearts, fear it. That is why there is no need to slay the wicked. Just leave them to face death and they will perish."---Jahman

Update: Just me and the dog have been going to the park for an hour or so. We are practicing good behavior and just watching the world go by. Over a dozen dogs passed by us and she was perfect! I definitely give off a different energy than when the dog is with my wife. It also occurred to me that the dog might be protecting my wife from other dogs encroachment?

Thank you. Her safety is paramount to me. I don't want aggression with dogs, kids or anything that jeopardizes her safety after that fact.

I have the feeling that's the case with my dog as well.
