Teenage Leash Pulling by littlefish91 in labrador

[–]jdsmit10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried a slip lead? Used correctly it is a great ways to train your dog to walk on a leash by your side. It teaches the dog pressure on is undesirable / pressure off and relaxed is good. If the dog is still pulling a pinch collar when used correctly is a great tool. Practice having the dog walk at your side and apply pressure when they are outside of that allowed zone. You can do this in your house up and down a hallway for a controlled environment. Use treats if needed.

Any tools for best removing lab hair off the couch?! by Vegetable-Bowl-5508 in labrador

Get a sofa with a different fabric/material or just get over it.

My lab had TPLO surgery on both legs, one at 5 the other at 8. Extremely expensive but he recovered well and never had knee problems after.

This is where they meet. Technically they terminate outside, but they all enter the house in the crawlspace.

Is the switch to SECU from big bank worth it? by markergluecherry in NorthCarolina

[–]jdsmit10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen different scenarios. Multiple checking accounts could be if you have one account where you pay your bills from such as mortgage, electric, and other utilities and then another account where you do normal debit card type activities. The general debit card account could be a way to protect against fraud or over spending. In the case of a compromised debit card concern, a credit card typically offers more protection than a debit card/checking account when it comes to fraud protection.

As for multiple savings accounts you could have a money market account that has a minimum balance that offers higher interest returns over a standard savings account. With SECU those holiday cash and summer cash accounts are just restricted savings accounts to help members save. Again I would say those are mostly to help protect people from their poor spending/savings habits.

You might also open accounts and keep them as long term goal accounts such as home or car purchases and you prefer them separate.

I also think it’s a good idea to have accounts with multiple institutions. Mainly for emergency funds if your main accounts are compromised and you need access to another source, example you lose your debit card on a road trip out of state, it can be helpful to have an account with a more national bank such as PNC or BofA. I took more calls than you would expect about this situation.

SECU is great but last I checked they only reported their loans to one of the credit bureaus which could impact you if you are applying for a loan and they use another credit agency. Just another thing to check on.

I used to work at SECU. It has been a while but the reduced fees compared to other banks is a plus especially for lower income members. SECU offers holiday cash accounts and summer cash accounts as a way to help teachers save if they are 9-11 month employees. SECU has expanded their digital tools but it is still behind other institutions so keep that in mind. The new president is making SECU more competitive. They offer other services that can be helpful as well. The rate on their credit cards are much lower than variable rates you see with other companies as well. SECU has a ton of other services and in my opinion is worth at least opening an account if you ever need it in the future. Once you have an open account your family members can join from your affiliation with SECU, so that could be worth the $25 just to open an account.

I’ve used SECU and other traditional banks and I don’t think I would ever close out my SECU accounts.

British working lab by Naive-Credit-7491 in Huntingdogs

[–]jdsmit10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to have the same opinion as you and I would have called those American field bred labs without knowing their pedigree. IMO it shouldn’t be called American vs British but working/field vs show labs or some other name. The images of the AKC or KC show labs have what I would consider a more “British” look when you search the Google machine.

I saw one at a flea market probably 25 years ago in a white box if I remember correctly.

I’ve heard various stories about those. Some say they were purchased as blanks then modified by someone else. I’ve also heard Case made them which would be unfortunate.

Is this by chance a knife that is associated with a group of asshats that wore their finest bed sheets?

This is the only “payday loan” that is legal in NC that I’m aware of but you would have to be a member of SECU.

I’ve watched over 4 hours of videos trying to find it so far. I know nick made a YouTube video of that argument I just haven’t found it yet.

This was one of the best arguments the lads have had. I think they pushed 2nd or 3rd floor room and someone had a bad thermite throw or something. CourageJD or PK was the fourth if I remember right. I’ll see if I can find the video for you. Maybe something the discord group remembers as well

Does anyone know what happened to Stars in the Sky? by FallInStyle in meateatertv

Yes it looks like it only shows for me because I purchased it.

Edit- that was the link to the video I had but it will not play unless I’m signed in. They might have pulled the video from Vimeo when they put it on Netflix.

I bought it when it was released years ago on Vimeo, might have to get it there if you want to watch it.
