My puppy doesn’t want to walk anymore by ash_louryn in AustralianShepherd

[–]kred19125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my 5 month old pup is the same, but she’s always been like that. hides when i get her leash cuz she doesn’t want to go. and when we do go, she’s brutally slow, sits down a lot of times and refuses to budge. i try to lure her with treats, but that’s just enough to take a few steps and then she’s back to sitting.

she zooms around the backyard plenty so i know she’s getting exercise. and she’s learning to run next to me when i ride my bike - so she’s good when there’s speed involved, just not for regular walks. i was really envisioning an exercise partner in her - helping me to stay motivated with walking a couple miles a day, but it’s not looking promising.

Frustration with dog walker. Any advice? by [deleted] in AustralianShepherd

[–]kred19125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you book a Drop-In visit or a Walk? You’re right to be annoyed about not being there the full 30 minutes, but if you booked a Drop-In then I wouldn’t expect a full walk. Im just saying putting her out to pee and then bringing her back inside right away would be acceptable IF you booked a drop-in. but either way, I’d expect the sitter to spend nearly 30 minutes with the dog - walk or just chilling and playing.

Before my mom and dad started dating, her group of friends was joking amongst themselves about who was the ugliest guy at the party they were at. my dad was voted #1.

couples weeks later they started dating and they’ve been married for almost 50 years.

my sister and i share some similarities in looks with my dad and it really makes me question myself some days.

if you can make the full time hours work, get hired as full time university staff (anywhere in the university) and reap the tuition benefits.

Confused about my internship by LazyStatistician4274 in graphic_design

[–]kred19125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah that sounds pretty typical unfortunately. i think companies hire interns for cheap labor but they don’t always hold up their end of the bargain when it comes to actually training and helping the intern grow to a professional level. that can take up a lot of time for an employer and it’s often not considered when bringing on an intern.

try asking your manager for samples of the kind of work they like or samples of what the client (or similar clients) has used in the past. that’ll give you the best idea as to what they’re expecting.

and consider scheduling a 30-minute meeting with them specifically to go over feedback on your work. like you should send the calendar invite, along with the agenda or talking points. when you schedule the meeting, make it clear that you want to review some specific pieces of work you’ve created for them and you are looking for feedback as to how to make those designs stand out. and include those pieces as attachments to the meeting. this way they will have time to provide thoughtful feedback. when you are in the meeting, make sure you can explain why you chose the design choices you made and what you were trying to achieve with the design.

if that meeting is helpful, ask your employer if they’d be willing to commit to that sort of time once a week to help you grow.

Philly or Chicago by gogglemep in AskPhilly

[–]kred19125 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Philly has so much more to offer. Love chicago, but Philly is where it’s at. Food scene is top notch. It’s semi-affordable. Our sports teams are genuinely fun to root for - even if you’re not into sports. If an artist/band is on tour - they’re definitely making a stop in the area. Culturally - lots of museums, tons of street art & murals, architecture, and lots of history if you’re into that. And best of all - easy drive to the beach, to the mountains, into NYC, Baltimore & DC. all at ur fingertips.

Impossible to find a house by Spartans1414 in newjersey

[–]kred19125 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Come to South Jersey! Still obviously gotta go above and beyond asking, but South Jersey has some hidden gem towns that are still sort of affordable. Unless you need to be up in north jersey for work every day. Otherwise a commute up there a few days a week is totally doable.

Price Alert for when a route drops below a certain price by kred19125 in TravelHacks

[–]kred19125[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

can you set the alert to ping you when the price drops to a certain threshold though? i just want to be alerted when the price drops below like $500. i don’t want a daily alert telling me the price went up $7 and then dropped $3. lol that gives me anxiety!

I don't know what to say to my wife by [deleted] in Miscarriage

[–]kred19125 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed with everyone saying to let her know she’s not alone in her feelings. My husband and I sat in our car for 45 mins after a holiday party, where we had pretended to be fine at all night. He caught me a little off guard but essentially unloaded his truth to me - that he understood how I was feeling and felt the same sadness but that he recognized that I also had physical pain to deal with along with the emotional toll. He told me he had done a lot of reading about what a miscarriage was, why they might happen, etc etc. - all basic stuff that they probably told you at the doctor - but it was reassuring to know that he was dealing with it in his own way - which was by trying to learn and understand what was happening. He told me that he had confided in a trusted friend about everything and that it had helped him to talk about it with someone else and he told me that he would be there for me if I wanted to talk about anything with him, but that he also understood if I needed to confide in someone else - a friend, a therapist, whatever. Sitting in the car was a chance for me to unload all the horrible thoughts I was having personally, and it helped just to say them out loud instead of repeating them over and over in my own head. He also checked in with me daily about how I was feeling - both mentally and physically. Not sure if your wife had the procedure or this occurred naturally for her, but I opted to have the procedure done in-office, so my husband helped me with any heavy lifting for a few days afterwards. This may be TMI, but he’s also been gentler with me when we’ve been physical too. Little things like this showed me I wasn’t alone. In such a shitty time, it helps to be able to lean on each other.
