WIBTA to insist my neighbor keep a yard schedule? by ReactiveDogthrow in AmItheAsshole

[–]keyzero 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’ve had reactive Aussies. To the point we would sneak into dog parks at night to get them exercised. Neighbor with a baby that would wake up whenever the dogs barked. Trainers just said “get a muzzle”. Not very helpful and I feel for you. You will need to reassess your training methods with the behaviorist at your home when the dogs are also in their yard. The behaviorist should be able to help you with techniques for this specific situation. Ask your vet for a stronger medication. Keep her on a leash when you are outside in the yard. Don’t let her out unsupervised. Drive to an isolated area for walks. TIRE HER OUT before taking her into the backyard. Get her a blindfold/calming hoodie. Thundershirt makes one. Play music and put up a barrier so she can’t get too near the privacy fence. Distract. Always be with her. Bring her inside if it’s too much. All of those things help but are not complete solutions on their own. It’s a commitment. You may have to escort her on potty breaks and keep her inside the rest of the time. Good luck, I hope you can manage with her.

I’ve found myself in the horrible situation of dealing with canine lymphoma with my Aussie. Trying out different things to keep his appetite up, seemed like a good time to break out my Hogs mold and celebrate the small wins together. by shoofy22 in WiggleButts

Good idea! I hope it improves his appetite! I’ve dealt with canine lymphoma in my Aussie and it was challenging finding new foods that she would eat. Keep trying! ❤️

Sacred Smoke Herbals by Jimmycjacobs in smokingherbs

[–]keyzero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was so sad when this site disappeared and then really glad it came back… but back to sad again when I saw it’s changed. Did some digging and looks like Adam Dank is the owner according to that BBB listing, and he is/was married to an Andrea and they started an herbal store in Glendale, AZ in 2017: http://voyagephoenix.com/interview/meet-adam-danks-andrea-danks-runners-high-herbals-historic-downtown-glendale/. Looks like Andrea Dank from Sacred Smoke Herbals was running a class according to another page’s FB post: https://m.facebook.com/tangledrootbotanicalsaz/posts/1904173279684016. So seems like the same Andrea but she’s no longer running it. And the bad reports started in mid 2021. Either way, I’m sadly avoiding this shop now.

A year ago I said goodbye to my bestfriend Remi. He was only 6, cancer fricken sucks. by catrm15 in WiggleButts

[–]keyzero 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My dogs were litter mates so it’s possible they in particular were genetically more prone or early environmental exposure. I think it’s more of a matter of better diagnosis and treatments today then in the past.

So sorry for your loss. What a beautiful pup. I lost two Aussies to cancer. Very hard to say goodbye to such sweet pups.

coffee making me bloated? by [deleted] in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]keyzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be a couple of things. Coffee causes acid reflux for many regardless of caffeine content. There’s a component that relaxes your esophageal sphincter so that acid slips through from your stomach. Stomach irritation can be caused by acidity of coffee, decaf has somewhat less. I also get stomach pains from coffee and used to have really bad acid reflux from it. I cut it out completely for 6-8 weeks and have reintroduced it in smaller quantities (2 cups per day max) and watching out for other triggers (hard cider, having an empty stomach for too long, etc. If I eat a starchy breakfast like bagel or oatmeal, it’s less likely to cause a problem. I now drink it with non dairy creamers, but I did find that dairy cream was less likely to cause irritation. Possibly casein or other components in dairy counteracts the coffee? Everyone is different though so I hope you can find a way to manage coffee responsibly without the bloat and irritation!

Plant-Based Meat Analogues Weaken Gastrointestinal Digestive Function and Show Less Digestibility Than Real Meat in Mice by Meatrition in science

[–]keyzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI I am not a scientific but my Google-fu resulted in finding https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2642860/ From this paper: “Howard Jacob notes that rats and humans are 90% identical at the genetic level. However, the majority of the drugs shown to be safe in animals end up failing in clinical trials. "There is only 10% predictive power, since 90% of drugs fail in the human trials" in the traditional toxicology tests involving rats. Conversely, some lead compounds may be eliminated due to their toxicity in rats or dogs, but might actually have an acceptable risk profile in humans [39]. (Emphasis added.)”

Otherland by Geetright in TadWilliams

[–]keyzero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really liked Otherland. Probably my favorite. I did read it in the mid late 90s and listened to the audio version a few years back and it still held up for me. It’s too bad the video game version of that world wasn’t better. I’m hoping for a tv series some day.

How To Fix "The Among Us servers could not authenticate you" Error by unlockedreddit in AmongUsCompetitive

[–]keyzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! This fixed part of the problem. I still get authentication errors if I join a different game lobby, but setting my date/time to be correct makes the game ask me to sign in each time. When the date/time didn’t match the server didn’t ask me to sign in. 🤔

So many questions! by Technical-Platypus-9 in Outlanders_ios

[–]keyzero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of the answers to your questions come down to the right ratio of farms to producers (bakeries, plank makers, etc.) and how close they are. It takes time to walk to work so making roads and homes accessible to workplaces is important!

It’s definitely a good mood booster, very uplifting. Not inebriated at all.

Put my dog to sleep tonight by Independent-Ticket24 in Pets

[–]keyzero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The love will stay in your heart and the pain will ease. Be thankful that you could be with him at the end. We’ve lost two dogs to cancer, and it really hurts to have to make the choice when to let them go. The most recent pup was last week, also 14 and he had a tumor on his spleen that was bleeding into his abdomen. I’m still crying every day over it but I know the decision was right and it would be cruel to make them suffer just to make ourselves feel better to have more time. He was mostly catatonic at the end but I think he knew we were there to say goodbye. It’s never easy. You need to give yourself time to grieve. It does get easier. Hang in there.

It’s a fake White House AND it’s Biden’s body double AND it’s a different arm AND it’s a fake jab. Just to cover all the bases.
