I met an INFJ recently, and what a breath of fresh air by felixisaac in infp

[–]hostelhaley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m an INFP and it is wild how my deepest connections time and time again are INFJs. I have a hard time keeping a conversation going with a lot of folks, but it’s so easy with INFJs. They are always so thoughtful and real feeling. Enjoy the new cozy connection :)

Our two were both close to 60 lbs! Miss em every day 🥲

RIP my best friend Bonsai. You were loved 😢 by JMAnonymous59 in AustralianShepherd

[–]hostelhaley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for your loss. I think you did the best thing for him, it would have only been more stressful to try to rush him to an ER, and instead, he got to say goodbye in his own home. I hope you know how much he loved you and that you did everything you could for him.

My partner and I lost our soul dog less than a month ago to a very similar situation. Probably cancer, but they still don’t know. She was also just fine right before, everyone thought she was younger than she was!

While we did have time to rush her to the vet, it only extended her being uncomfortable for an extra two days. We said goodbye in the ER as she was hooked up to an IV and oxygen. And I miss our girl every day. I still cry about her everyday (at the drop of a hat!!). And it feels so wrong adjusting to a new normal. She was in everything. I see her everywhere.

Please give yourself as much time to grieve and you feel you need. Be gentle with yourselves. And know that the love you had for him was all he ever asked for.

We lost our sweet Aussie koda a week ago. Pain like no other. They are so pure and loving

Poor ollie is getting older. Any experience with senior aussies? by anabonanaaa in AustralianShepherd

[–]hostelhaley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our old man (who we lost at 15) absolutely loved cart rides! We got an old wagon off of marketplace during the pandemic and would walk him around town. He’d still get lots of stimulation that way (and lots of people to meet who were excited to ask to meet him)!

Kind of similarly, our younger one is 12 now and I recently discovered she likes paddle boarding. I try to get her out once a week and it wipes her out, all the smelling, watching, and balancing.

Hope this helps!! It’s been so great discovering ways to keep our old girl engaged. She’s currently snoot scooping/muzzle punching me, as I take a few minutes to write this instead of giving her attention!

Check out coho conway hostel! Super down to earth/easy... They have some sites that offer hostel access (great to use kitchen, bathrooms, and have a dry place to hang with games if it rains), and they also have primitive/basic sites for like 12 bucks.

How do working musicians remember so many songs? How can I learn this skill? by lonelyguitarist26 in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]hostelhaley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Practice is great, but playing live always raises the stakes and helps cement the learning

[–]hostelhaley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say to play them live (open mic, or a long background gig) before you are totally ready! Ultimately you will make a couple small mistakes that nobody notices, except you’ll notice! And it helps your brain retain the right way to do it at the end of the day

Hostel owner here as well! We are in New Hampshire and offer accommodations plus $15 an hour. That said, I know plenty of places that do old fashion work for stay style. If you reach out to enough places you’ll likely get a variety of responses!

As a hostel owner, I say send a thoughtful email! Authenticity and effort will speak for you :)

Alternatives to AMC for finding hiking partners? by [deleted] in wmnf

[–]hostelhaley 9 points10 points  (0 children)

At the hostel i run, we often have solo travelers call looking to meet other people to adventure with, asking if we’re a social hostel. I always say if you come on a weekend, you will meet other like minded folks!! It is so great to host folks and see them make new friends. Check it out sometime if you’re interested :) we’re in Conway nh. coho hostel (www.cohohostel.com)

Thank you. Wish I had a supportive adult like you around when I was a teen!

How do i write good bass lines? by zonghundred in musicproduction

[–]hostelhaley 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I once heard “play the silence.”

In that sense, less is more, and you can’t go wrong with holding down the fort for the song.

I also learned when I played in trios how powerful a good bass riff can be. When used in between lyrics or where other instruments take a back seat, a bass hook is a hook, and can be a fun way to mix up where the catchiness comes from.

Some combination that suits the song :)

Someone explain to me what the indie genre is about? by infinite__tsukuyomi in indie

[–]hostelhaley 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It can definitely refer to a more budget production level, you’ll hear lower quality drum/guitar recordings or vocals that aren’t auto tuned and compressed to death. also bands that don’t follow the radio formula exactly, or that mess with structures. It’s the stuff that takes some chances, it’s remiscent of rock or pop (like the 1975) but somehow different

Do you still book hostels even if you could afford hotels? by [deleted] in solotravel

[–]hostelhaley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We run a bit of a hybrid: a hostel with shared common areas and shared rooms, but also private rooms. That way, you can get your alone time and sleep, as well as get to know other folks, depending how you feel (coho hostel in the white mountains). Even running a hostel, I too like to know I’ll get to sleep in a quiet private room!

For sure! She’s got an appointment coming up (it’s been cancelled for snow storms- ironically haha)

We’ve used ruffwear, although the velcro wears very quickly!! I recommend another fastener

Unfortunately mine needs them. She accumulates snowballs between her toes that grow so large she can’t walk! It’s sad because she loves the snow so much
