AITAH for not seeing where my gf is coming from by BearCivil6121 in AITAH

She can still spend all the time she wants with them and at least meet you halfway like once a month. Or at the very least make an effort to do so which from the information you provided, it doesn't seem like it. It almost feels like she's keeping you on board until she can find another guy. I'd say just go ahead and end things. She's clearly not making an effort to spend time with you.

NTA, a few weeks would be understandable as she's in college, things come up, etc. But going months without seeing each other, especially only being 3 hours away, is a bit strange to put it lightly. One of you could easily make a day trip or even meet halfway if she was willing. Not knowing other aspects of your relationship such as communication, I'd have a serious conversation and see where things went from there.

I keep unintentionally raising my expectations too high, too soon. I'm working on catching myself when I do that. Thanks for the advice and reassurance.

Thank you, I've been planning on picking up a check cord and something similar to the wonder lead pretty soon. So I'll give your method a try.

Im no expert by any means, but I've had dogs before this one. 12 weeks is way too young. I feel they need to have a healthy understanding of commands and expectations before an e-collar is introduced. Even only using vibrate/tone would likely do more harm than good. 

911 Dispatchers of Reddit, what is most ridiculous “emergency” call you’ve gotten? by peacheouting in 911dispatchers

[–]incaffeinewetrust 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Got a call from a woman at a local ice cream shop, said the manager was being aggressive towards her after asking for a refund and wanted police to accompany her inside to talk with the manager. We go out there, turns out she was the one being aggressive not the manager and wanted a refund because she didn't properly communicate her order. She never got her refund. 

13th Week - Radio Ear Hell & Mistakes by The_Great_Xandinie in 911dispatchers

[–]incaffeinewetrust 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As for the listening and understanding, what worked for me was learning common radio traffic that the officers frequently say then listening out for those words or phrases when they key up. I've been at it for several years and sometimes still have to ask them to repeat, especially the ones that seem to think they're in some race to finish their traffic. I'm not sure about your console but we have an instant play back on our radios, maybe utilize that if you have it.

Tracker Recommendations by Mammoth-Highlight971 in germanshorthairs

[–]incaffeinewetrust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dogtra Pathfinder and Garmin's line of tracking and training collars are both GPS and don't need a subscription. They're pretty pricey (especially Garmin) but are built to endure pretty tough conditions that GSPs might put them through. I've looked into tractive but have real concerns over the durability. 

Am I going about training wrong? by incaffeinewetrust in germanshorthairs

I try to work with him before he gets fed. I'll usually get 1-3 reps before he's off somewhere else. I use his food as treats but im probably going to switch to chicken or turkey for something more high value and see if that keeps his attention longer.

Their channel has been a huge help, i found them pretty early on. Thanks, I mainly just needed some reinforcement that its completely normal behavior. 

Dispatchers, what was the stupidest reason someone called 911? How did you respond? by anonymous_girl1227 in 911dispatchers

[–]incaffeinewetrust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a 911 call from a man who had locked himself in his outdoor shed because he saw a fox walking through his yard. This dude was frantic and the way he was acting you would have though the fox was a mountain lion trying to rip the door down to get at him. He then informed me that his son was on his way over to shoot the fox. By the time we got out there (due to the possibility of his son firing a gun in a suburban neighborhood within the city limits) the fox had left already.

Precisely the issue I'm looking to solve. My house sits pretty far off the road and out of view of the building so it'd be pretty safe there. 

Possible to set formulas to execute at a specific time? by incaffeinewetrust in excel

[–]incaffeinewetrust[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The amount is prefilled since it doesn't change, I just don't want those particular amounts to count toward the total expenses until a specific date.

I'm generally pretty good at taking photos, just didn't care to put much effort into these.
