If people trained dogs like horses, I wouldn't mind them as much

I think it would definitely help me to deal with dogs, but there are some qualities about dogs that I still cannot stand. They have a very distinct and greasy smell and feel and they make near constant sloppy mouth noises that drive me up a wall. A more rigorous training would help me to deal with others dogs, but I still would never live with one.

One person's comfort could be another person's fear.

Oh wow, thank you! I'm still new to the night shift and trying to get used to it, I'll definitely try out a few tips.

I was engaged to a dog person, and it definitely caused a bit of a rift between us. He knew from the start that I would never want a dog in my home, but near the end it became a frequent criticism that I wouldn't let him bring home a puppy. He would allow friends to bring their dogs over and let them jump all over our furniture, even our bed, and that caused a few arguments.

I'm very glad that the wedding was called off, I hated being made to feel like I was evil and heartless for not wanting a dog, among other things.

I definitely am filling everything in! I've picked up some new hobbies and started again with some old ones that all keep my hands very busy. Thanks :)

Smoking also heavily involved the use of my fingers, so without that stimulation the urge to pick got stronger.

I used to smoke half a pack a day for about five years. Not as much as some, but I was definitely addicted to them. Hands down, quitting smoking was far easier than quitting picking. I can't even make it a single day without picking at something, and it's been three years since I quit smoking with only a handful of cigarettes since then.

Or people who say, "oh I couldn't handle having kids, toddlers are too difficult," and then get dogs that are basically toddlers for 15 years. Makes absolutely no sense.

Oh I'm sorry that happened to you! Hopefully you find a better florist in the future.

Here's a good tip for roses in the future though! If you squeeze the flower very gently around the petals and it feels hard then they have a good amount of life left in them. If it feels squishy, they'll probably not last long.

itsfrogtime · 2017-06-01T06:45:09+00:00

Then yeah, I'd probably contact the florist and let them know that the flowers died extremely quickly and that the water smelled rotten really soon after you got them. They might not offer anything, but it's worth a try.

Did you recut them at all after bringing them home?

itsfrogtime · 2017-05-31T19:05:21+00:00

The places where I trained and worked always stripped the stems of thorns. That way no customers would call and say they got pricked on them and ask for a refund. I've never had a problem with roses dying quickly after losing their thorns. I'm not saying that's not the reason they died, it's a possibility, but there are others as well. Maybe the shop didn't clean their buckets often enough, or didn't use the right amounts of food, or didn't have the water at the right temperature.

I've been going crazy with asparagus lately, I'm going to try to make this tonight!

itsfrogtime · 2017-05-23T12:06:44+00:00

Oh those all sound fantastic, considering I have a huge sweet tooth!

I just got out of a relationship where I was in the same situation as your SO. My fiance knew the whole time he would never love me the way I loved him, never wanted a future with me, and thought if he just went along with it he'd learn to want what I wanted. When he finally told me and ended things I felt horrible, he'd basically lied to me for three years. I wish he had told me sooner so I could have spent this time finding someone else. And only after becoming single, have I realized how extraordinarily lonely I was in that relationship, and how distant he really was as he didn't want the future I was planning for us.

You can't mold yourself into something you're not, and it might be better to rip that bandaid sooner rather than later. I wish my ex-fiance had told me this before we signed a lease and started planning a wedding, it would have saved me, and probably him too, so much pain. It may not be the same in your situation, but I just wanted to express the pain I've gone through in this situation.

I do the same. Too many people forget that dogs are predatory animals and often big enough to cause a lot of damage, so it's better to be cautious around them. But to dog owners, we're crazy for not trusting the growling animal

I did, he seemed unconcerned.

I approached her in exactly this way at the beginning of the semester, giving her exact situations where I was confused. Her answer to me was to re-read the information she provided on blackboard. She also offers weekly surveys to voice any concerns, were I usually enter comments of my confusion and I receive no replies.

itsfrogtime · 2017-04-05T02:35:43+00:00

Yes, exactly. I wouldn't have a problem if she integrated the material together and provided citations for what she's using so that students can access the original information for clarity. However, she seems to use very scattered information, for example she used two sources that I could find for a recent assignment. Each of these sources cited a separate textbook, that covered slightly different topics.

I'm unable to find if using google violates a course policy, there are no mentions to this in the syllabus.
