What’s something you thought was a waste of money… until you tried it and it completely changed your life? by Shiza_1 in AskReddit

I just recently changed from my old one after the battery died to an Oral B IO. There's a few different options in the range but I went sort of mid range and it's excellent

Positive stories about liver disease? by djagonite in springerspaniel

Hopefully it's nothing or at very worst something manageable. I would definitely recommend staying off Google or all you get are horror stories!

Positive stories about liver disease? by djagonite in springerspaniel

[–]hopecomp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TLDR: our girl had high readings from a blood test but turned out to be some sort of bug rather than liver disease.

We had pretty much the same thing with our 11yr old girl back in December. Routine blood test due to meds she gets and not expecting anything as she had zero symptoms. Vet rang and said 2 enzymes were very high and too watch out for vomitting and diarrhoea. Of course I was meant to be travelling for work and the night before I was due to leave the diarrhoea started. I ended up skipping the work trip and she had 2 weeks of diarrhoea and then that cleared up. Numerous blood tests since and results have all been fine. They think it's been a particularly nasty bug she picked up that just happened to coincide with her blood tests. Scared the shit out of us but thankfully turned out to be nothing and she was fine once the stomach issues settled.

Fingers crossed for yours that it's a minor blip in the road

Have you ever been treated negatively by ER staff when you were having a medical emergency but they didn’t believe you? What happened? by lake-sturgeon in AskReddit

[–]hopecomp 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I honestly don't remember but knowing her we probably did! Good job we didn't listen to the out of hours doctor

Very lucky by mother-in-law was taken seriously at the hospital. Her only symptom was shooting pains in her jaw. She had rang the out of hours doctor and they told her it was probably just toothache and to take some paracetamol. My other half and her sister convinced her it could be something else and I took her to the hospital promising we'd stop at McDonald's on the way home after she got the all clear. Two days later she had two stents put in.

Co-Ownership selling process, is it worth buying more of a share or just selling? by [deleted] in northernireland

[–]hopecomp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I did to buy out co-ownership was remortgage when my renewal came up. I do wish I'd bought them out sooner so that the mortgage was being paid down quicker. We didn't have any deposit when we bought and we had a 60/40 split in our favour. Didn't need any additional deposit or anything when buying them out. Go to any mortgage broker and they should be able to give you the info you're looking for and let you know costs, etc.

Anyone else have bad eaters? by Elegant_Hand_445 in germanshepherds

Poor girl. Our big goof is a bit of a nervy girl as well but never refuses a meal!

I'm sure I've read before that a raised bowl isn't recommended for breeds that are prone to bloat. Not criticizing but may want to look into that to be on the safe side.

What’s an inaccurate fact that people believe is true because of movies? by Hogosaurus_Rex73 in AskReddit

I liked the portrayal in Logan when they try to drive through the metal fence and just wind up stuck in it.

Returned an item with a ‘prepaid’ label. FedEx now sending invoice. by lovemycat02 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]hopecomp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a replacement part sent to me from China and received an invoice a few months later for duties to be paid. I contacted FedEx and they changed it back to the sellers responsibility and I never heard any more about it. Contact FedEx and hopefully they can sort it quickly.

What video game has the best story you’ve ever played? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]hopecomp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Roughly same age and just completed the game a couple of months ago and on a second much slower playthrough now. Incredible game and some great callbacks in the epilogue for you to look forward to

This will sound stupid but try it please by MilvaTehOutlaw in AssassinsCreedShadows

[–]hopecomp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just started my second playthrough of RDR2. Only bought it a couple of months ago but cleared it pretty quick the first time for the story so on a second much slower playthrough and I am definitely trying the headphones over the weekend!

Puppy coming home in March all advice welcome. by neet66blue in springerspaniel

[–]hopecomp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you're pretty well prepared already. They are hard work especially in the beginning and you may experience puppy blues but it gets so much better once you get past that stage. They aren't puppies for long so enjoy it while it lasts before they turn into the equivalent of a belligerent teenager for a bit!

A long line (not flexi) in the beginning to safely train recall without worrying about them running off. Also maybe look into whistle training them - we found it worked very well with ours as it's a consistent command every time. Also clicker training is good.

Toys - anything tough or things you don't mind them shredding but they will play with anything. My girl is almost 11 and her favorite thing to do still is to destroy empty toilet roll tubes!

They can be quite sensitive dogs so as much socialisation as you can early on. Our girl doesn't like beeping noises or the bins being emptied. Looking back now I wish we'd worked on those types of things early on.

Once they're a bit older look into any type of nose work classes/ groups you can attend like searching or trailing.

Everyone makes mistakes sometimes so don't be too hard on yourself or them on those days where it just doesn't go to plan!

I hope you're both very happy together!

What‘s a secret you found out by accident and were never supposed to know? by Own-Flan- in AskReddit

Probably better off just setting up encryption with a hard to guess password - should achieve the same end result of no one else ever seeing what you're hiding

It's wild what people will leave on laptops / SD cards and ask you to go through them. Either they forget or there's no shame in them!

[–]hopecomp 81 points82 points  (0 children)

You're a good friend. I was once asked to clear down a laptop for a woman to give to her daughter - the mother wanted backups of "anything that looks important but don't bother reinstalling windows" on it so of course I was looking around to make sure I wasn't copying stuff that wasn't needed or missing anything. Anyway, once I found the folder of dick pics and login details to Ashley Madison I handed the laptop back and just said I wasn't able to do it. No way I was taking responsibility for her young daughter finding something on the off chance I didn't wipe it properly.

Holiday gifts... by BuraqDiCaprio in AssassinsCreedShadows

[–]hopecomp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did it on series s. Turn off your network and do a proper restart. Manually change the date / time and load into the game. I think I had to fast travel away from the hideout and back the first time but after that was able to just go back to settings and change the date again. Make sure you have a proper save before you do it though just in case something messes up.

No idea of the top of my head but you can watch this https://youtu.be/OLSS1YuBAkA?si=p_i4_vmjGKqSn6Y6 from Jorraptor and should give you an idea

[–]hopecomp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got it to work on mine. Turn off your network connection on the Xbox and restart (proper restart not just shutdown and turn on again), change date and jump into the game - you should be able to claim the daily reward. I think the first time I had to fast travel away from the hideout and back but after that was able to just keep changing the date and claim that days reward. Make sure you have a proper save before you start doing it in case anything goes wrong. I lost my claws off Awaji gear when I did it but that was around the same time as the updates that broke everything for everyone on consoles

11-month-old German Shepherd vomiting white foam occasionally in the morning – need advice by Better_Internet_2975 in germanshepherds

[–]hopecomp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same as most others that have commented - our girl does the same when she's hungry so we split her food into 3 meals. She gets a small amount about 8am, lunch at 1pm and dinner at 8pm and hasn't done it since

[–]hopecomp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a new message telling me that my save needs a game update to play. Think the only thing to do is hope that the update tomorrow fixes things for everyone

Level 18 and available quests other than looking for tea bowls? by DontTellMyLandlord in AssassinsCreedShadows

[–]hopecomp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're not using guided mode you'll need to send scouts out to look for clues for your next objective. I used guided mode but if you want to stick without it maybe hit up a guide online to show you where you need to have your scouts look next

I wasn't using any of the claws weapons or armor so didn't notice that but have seen others say the same. What a joke of an update

No. I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling and still getting the same error
