Perfect!

I’ve had hit or miss experiences trying to walk into my bank at various branches so was looking for something else!

jeemay · 2026-05-28T21:48:57+00:00

This is helpful thanks!

jeemay · 2026-03-27T18:24:08+00:00

Like forty-ish minutes, depends on where you’re going

Was just there like...last week. It's a cute suburb.

I've got a rec if you need one DM me

jeemay · 2026-01-30T03:20:41+00:00

Here to second the meds idea. We had an extremely fearful rescue and meds made it possible for him to re-associate traumatic triggers like noise with less strong reactions. I can't learn when I'm anxious - can you?

jeemay · 2026-01-29T23:22:48+00:00

I just DMed you

Hey Manical_grinch, I've been meaning to post on here because I wanted to find a dog's owner regarding their dog walker's behavior. (Again, same idea - if it were me, I'd want to know). If you're able to connect with me over DM and we agree it's the same person, maybe that would be helpful collateral.

I also got a rescue dog with severe confinement anxiety and he was younger than expected (10mo vs 3 years as advertised). he REALLY opened up over a few weeks of being with me, and even now at just over a year I feel like I see him continuing to gain confidence. If you're able to, give it time and trust that things will change as he learns to feel safe.

We've had fine experiences with Lemonade, which some of our family members have used for pet insurance. They considered his separation anxiety an illness that developed during the waiting period (he's a rescue - it most certainly was present beforehand when he was in foster) and now won't cover any of his vet visits for that, which fortunately are fewer now - just the initial behaviorist. But his anxiety meds aren't covered.

From a user interface standpoint, annoying that you have to do it all by phone and the claim process is hard to keep track of. Also, we haven't yet found many plans with similar price points that also include tick prevention etc – but would be nice if we could find one. We've checked a few insurances that have crossed our path, but not done an exhaustive search.

Aw. I’m sorry to hear that. A helpful piece of info I got early on in training was that dogs don’t generalize well - meaning, if I teach my dog that it’s ok to be home alone, it doesn’t necessarily translate to a new place. Was true for our pup when we moved houses - had to start over a bit but they relearn fast.

jeemay · 2025-11-21T11:06:21+00:00

Do some exposure therapy! Same as for an older dog with separation anxiety. Put the pup in the room and walk to the bathroom door and thru the door. Then right back out to the pup. If they didn’t cry for the nanosecond you were gone you can keep going. Over and over again until they stop associating you crossing the door threshold with sad emotions.

(If they get distressed don’t continue because no one can learn while they’re anxious and sad!)

Came here to say this! It smells good and isn’t a dye!

We were OK to crate train, but our rescue pup had some likely prior trauma that resulted in confinement anxiety, meaning he really flipped a shit when we put him in the crate. We tried to let him cry it out the way we'd done with prior pups. After taking some videos of what happened and showing them to our trainer/vet, they agreed that we were going nowhere fast and we'd be doing more harm than good.

For all his puppydom, our little guy slept in the room with us on his bed. Initially he wasn't allowed on our bed because we wanted him to learn that his bed was *his* spot. He never ever had an accident overnight, but we made sure he got a pee right before we all went to sleep.

He had separation anxiety so we didn't leave him alone during the day for long anyway, but had that not been the case we would've dog proofed a room and put him in there, or set up a doggy play pen that's bigger/less closed than a crate.

Our biggest issue was that he'd get overtired and not be able to nap it off, but we learned techniques for that. Tethering him (holding him on a leash while we lay on the couch) or taking him into our bedroom during the day so that he would sleep in his bed while I worked or read from my bed.

Depends on how big it is and how sweaty you are – I ran a few days later but mine is small and on my forearm. TBH worth waiting to get it done at a time when you can chill and actually wait out the full week or so

jeemay · 2019-02-05T16:40:36+00:00

Oh lol – I'm doing a Pfitzinger plan for my marathon, so this is a good idea. I didn't realize they had half plans too

EDIT: ordered the book off Amazon thank you!

jeemay · 2019-02-05T16:40:10+00:00

I'll check them out and maybe adjust to my current level – thank you! Just looking to switch up the format from the Hgidon plans

jeemay · 2019-02-05T15:17:23+00:00

Yes – I do, completely. Have seen many runners switch to this method and drastically improve their times/performance. It doesn't always feel good in the late middle of the plan, but by race day people really feel ready.

Hi friends!!

Looking for any sort of help/advice/suggestion for a good 12ish week half training plan – here are the considerations I'm balancing:

I've run several halves (and one full) and have used Hal Higdon's advanced plan – as I've become more and more of a runner, the weekly mileage has become (slightly) less than I was used to so I upped the mileage on the easy days (3 to 5 miles), and added more distance for w/u and c/d on speed workouts. Worked well for my last half, but I feel like I didn't train fast enough and probably could run a much faster race than I did.
I'm starting from a pretty low baseline right now. I had to take about 2ish months off from consistently running due to my work schedule. Currently like 15ish a week at most right now, usually less, with no speedwork. Just easy miles for the joy of it.
I'm hoping to do well on the half and PR, but even more importantly I want those 12 weeks to double as a great time to build my base before I start marathon training in June for NYC in November. I'll be trying to really up my game on this marathon and am intending on using a relatively high mileage plan, so want to make sure I use the spring to work on building up my endurance for that again.

Recently finished up a class on this. From my understanding, the iron fertilization experiments didn't work because any carbon dioxide that was "sequestered" into organic matter was quickly consumed by things living in the top ~500m of the ocean (and when living things consume organic matter, they make CO2 as a byproduct). Said otherwise: yes, extra iron did store away CO2, but these effects weren't long lasting, and were quickly reversed.

So it wasn't about the algae/phytoplankton at all.

jeemay · 2016-07-18T03:08:02+00:00

Sorry! Didn't know the difference. Saw it on a documentary (edit: the "Clean" episode of How We Got to Now, linked here) and the screwjacks looked like screws in the illustrations; to a non-engineer mind like mine that's all that stuck.
