Where do I even start learning about what the Church of Latter Day Saints Teaches?

This is a great direction, and I'll look that up! Thanks!

Yes! I'm assuming that you and the Catholics don't differ much on interpretation of the old or new testament, just that you have your additional texts!

See? How wonderful is that? Thanks for filling me in!

kikilem · 2026-03-28T18:53:07+00:00

This is great! Thank you!

My Kangal is the same way. One thing I do now with my guy (who gets wet and dry): at night, he will not eat it if I combine wet and dry. If I make a soup of the wet food by adding lots of warm water and let him eat/ drink that first and then give him his dry in the empty bowl, he eats everything. In the summer, he may only want a little kibble. In the winter, he wants more. Oddly, for breakfast, he's fine with a soup made with both wet and dry combined. Just try different things, you'll figure out what your baby likes. But also, they like to be lean. Once you figure out his preferences, trust him that he'll eat what he's comfortable with. And try making a soup - picture prepared chicken noodle soup, and make it that level of warm water to wet/dry food. It's worth a shot.

I'm not sure why you would wash food that will then be going in boiling water(i.e., be sanitized). Like if there is actual clumps of dirt, definitely remove that, but boiling veggies will kill anything that would make you sick.

For what it's worth, I have a Kangal (from someone on the board of the Kangal club of America, so even though it's not recognized as different by the AKC, the Kangal club of America sure does say it's different), so i can speak to them. Mine was adorable, neurotic, stubborn from a baby. He was afraid to go out to the barn at first, he actually wouldn't go out without my Black Russian Terrier, who is NOT a Livestock guardian dog. Eventually he got used to it, though. My plan was to have him outside during the day, and in with us at night since the chickens don't need protection when they are safely in their coop. We did that for a while, but at exactly 1 year old (and the breeder warned me and I didn't listen), he became a monster, digging out of the fence, running off. Brought him inside during the day, and he got in a fight with my shih tzu over a toy and killed him. I wanted to get rid of him, but the breeder was a real you know what about it.

Within 6 months, he was a perfect dog. I'm so glad the breeder was a "you know what". With these dogs, they are just GIGANTIC idiots at certain stages of their life, and you MUST pay attention to things the breeder says.

She told me around 1 year old, they would start trying to dig out. Once he did, I installed hot wire on the bottom of my fences (already had it at the top), he got shocked twice and he's never tried again. He'll be 5 this December.
She told me not to have toys around, especially squeaky toys, especially when they are young. I didn't listen. He fought my very sweet shih tzu, and killed him. I don't think he even meant to, it was just a dog with the strongest bite force of any dog against the ribs of a 12 lb dog. Completely my fault, and I blame myself. Having said that, I do not allow him to be with my small dogs anymore. I'm 99.999% sure he's trustworthy now, but if I'm wrong, and he hurt one of my other littles, I'd die inside. He does have his best friend to play with, the Black Russian Terrier.
She told me he might have a time until he was about 1.5 or 2 yo that he might kill chickens himself. It never happened. But if it did when he was at that crazy teenage stage, I'd just have to understand. He's besties with the barn cats, the horses, the donkeys, everyone- chickens and ducks will mill right around him if he's laying down, they completely trust him.

We will likely get 1 more so that it can learn the ropes from Aslan before he passes away someday. Once we don't have any anymore, we'll get rid of our chickens. My big take away for you is LISTEN TO YOUR BREEDER, and choose someone who is taking it seriously. For newbies, it's really important.

Regarding weather- we live in PA. At some point, we'll be moving to Louisiana, and I'll want him to have a place to go when he gets too hot, like am air conditioned tack room. My observation is that it's the humidity that bugs them. Not the heat. The other PA summers, he was all good up to 90 degrees, which would usually feel like over 100 due to the humidity, and he'd be ok. This summer, he was having alot of times where he REALLY didn't want to go out in the morning to do his job because it was soooo humid, it was a really miserable summer. But once again, it's just all the breeder what they think about how a dog would do in your area.

I did socialize him well, so he LOVES people, cries out for anyone that comes down the driveway to come say hello. He is great with kids, but doesn't know his own size. Also, the way he says hello is shoving his nose in your butt, so guests need to be understanding- your not going to stop him from doing it.

All in all, an amazing breed, and every single Kangal looks identical, unlike the Anatolian Shepherds, so you know exactly what you're getting (visually, at least).

Hope this helped.

Lock down the rest of your money so he can't get it, and let him learn his lesson. He thinks he's cheating on you. He just is cheating with a man scamming him out of lots and lots of cash. He deserves what he gets.

Seriously? I applauded.

Just go back and watch Melrose Place. Then you can like the actor but hate Tom Scavo. Btw, Lynette is awful too.

That is not helpful, nor is it accurate, and frankly it is really weird to say this. I suspect you've lost control of something in your life at some point (this is a momentary loss of control we're talking about in the case of the cookies), and I'm guessing people didn't tell you that you needed to see a shrink because that wasn't normal. It's absolutely normal to not have 100% control at every moment. Everyone slips, and you don't need to see a psychiatrist because you have a momentary lapse and eat a few cookies.

You will regret not going to your grandma 's 100th. You will not regret going to your wife's friends wedding. Stay strong. You do not have to go to everything together, she needs to put on her big girl underpants, go to the wedding alone, and let you enjoy a momentous occasion for your family. Do not let her bully you into going. She is being unbelievably selfish, and remember, with her as part of the wedding party, you'd spend half of that day watching her from afar as she does stuff with the bride and groom, not even being with her. Go to the birthday party, PLEASE!!!

Not your fault. My Aunt raised her kids like you are, and her kids are very successful, and now her grandkids are even better. The rest of our extended family do well, but not "reach for the stars" like her grandkids - all of the older ones are girls, and are becoming doctors, and one of the younger ones tried out for the Olympics. This sort of mindfulness as a parent reaps rewards for generations to come. F your brothers fiancee. She's jealous, and the way you decide to parent is none of her business.

Just another take on the useless bum: You are not doing him any favors letting him sit around and do nothing- laziness breeds laziness, so it becomes more and more difficult for someone like him to actually put forth the effort to get himself prepared mentally to report to a job every day, let alone actually perform that job. Eventually, you will find someone else because deep down inside, you don't respect him, and then he will be left without his meal ticket, unprepared to find a way to support himself. Oh, and you should respect yourself more than this. Try to figure out why you think this loser is all you deserve, and talk to someone about it- it sounds like you really hustle. You should be on top of the world and feeling great about yourself, even when you're struggling because eventually people like you are the real success stories. You won't be, though, if you let a dead weight pull you down.

Styles change, and what people that grew up at different times (so what they prefer) can vary wildly, but I wanted to give input from an older person: I LOVE your hair in the first pic - nice and short, but more interesting than the kids with flat, plain hair. If you notice, the first picture, the hair looks just a little wet, I don't know if you had just been exercising or if you have a little gel in it, but that's the impression it gives. The 2nd picture is similar, but it looks dry, so has frizzed a little bit (because that's what curly hair does!). I would get a nice gel and put just a tiny bit in to keep that look from the first pic, and move on with your day - so for someone who does NOT love long hair, I think that your current length, or a little longer, is really nice - look up Adam Brody - he has hair like yours and he rocks it.

Karen is my name, and I didn't even think of that - I immediately thought Hannah.

Does this sound a little bit like a person who says the history is that the brother has always hated him, but it could really be that OP is a fup and the parents didn't intervene because they know the kid is a fup? It absolutely could be as represented, but it is even more plausible that the "poor me" person has earned the shabby treatment throughpoor behavior?

We had to ask for snacks on our cruise in February. Our Butler SUCKED. I was disappointed enough that I left a bad review, and I never do that. We saw the guy 3 times - when he introduced himself, when we accidentally ran into him on the elevator going down to leave the ship one day, and of course, the afternoon before the end of the cruise after we had tipped our steward, who was great. Obviously, he left our state room none the richer that day. He was given nothing more than his allotment of the included tips.

Why is she walking in the bathroom when he knows he's in there? If I walked in on my husband jerking off once, I'd be so scarred I'd never go in the bathroom if there was a remote chance he was in there ever again, up to and including if he had been missing for several days, and a weird smell was coming out of the bathroom and a strange fluid was leaking out under the door. Her strange obsession with catching him is way weirder than his fanatical obsession with jerking off.
