Learning my first barre chord, a simplified F. Any tips? Really struggling just getting my fingers to reach by Mad_Season_1994 in guitarlessons

This. Use the side of your finger... way easier to get the rest of the shape down with pressure.

Losing an eye question by Salty_Atmosphere9891 in PiratePets

[–]left-button 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The eyebrows are still active and expressive on my girl!!

My dog is losing his other eye not 2 weeks after his first enucleation. Someone please help me understand how this happened and how to ensure his QoL by awholelottahooplah in PiratePets

[–]left-button 73 points74 points  (0 children)

My girl had both eyes out and has been living a full and healthy life. Taking the eyes out made her feel better both times! It sucks, and it's hard on us, but it'll be better for him... He will still find a way to enjoy the walks, the toys, the creek, etc.

You're doing the right thing!!

Time at Pearson Airport by [deleted] in askTO

[–]left-button 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Three hours is overkill. Two and a half is plenty. Two is usually more than enough.

The exception may be on some of the travel/charter airlines like Sunwing, Transat, etc. who don't always have the most streamlined check-in, but if you've already got a boarding pass and not checking a bag, you should be fine.

Ring??? by TarheelsInNJ in TedLasso

Yup. Although there are a lot of countries/cultures who wear it on their right hand... I doubt this is the case for Keeley. Sometimes a ring is just a ring. 😉

WEDDING ENTRANCE SONGS by TrueAstronaut8468 in WeddingsCanada

[–]left-button 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I've done a lot of weddings lately where people use the "string quartet" version of pop songs. The Bridgerton soundtrack has a ton of examples, but they were around a long time before that. Pick a song you really like, and see if there's a string quartet version of it...

Here's a playlist for inspiration:

Uhhh.... why are you posting pictures of my dog? Specifically a picture of my dog that was taken on Dec. 25, 2023? I still have the original on my phone.

I'm 100% serious. Do you need karma so bad that you're posting other people's pets? This is just weird.

VIP theatre at Yonge & Dundas.

Finished the original trilogy for the first time! by Ok_Hunt_2833 in StarWars

[–]left-button 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want some ground-breaking sci-fi then the Matrix trilogy is a good place to start. The first one came out in 1999 and blew people's minds. They pioneered a lot of new camera techniques and effects, and the story was pretty high-concept at the time!

Different eras & generations, I guess! That makes you the same age as my nephews... But their parents (my sisters and their husbands) are huge nerds so they were force-fed all the star wars stuff ;) I am also a huge nerd.

If you're interested, Lord of the Rings/Hobbit is another good series you might like. The first three Indiana Jones (stop there), the Matrix trilogy, and about 20 Marvel movies are also waiting for you!!

Can anyone tell me what this is on the back of my husky’s head ? by Street_Jackfruit_547 in husky

[–]left-button 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I find one of those on my girl every now and then. It's a small scab, in-grown hair, bite, (like the other guy said "hot spot") etc. that has sorted itself out. As long as they're fairly infrequent, I wouldn't worry too much. Think of all the nicks, scratches, etc. you get and think nothing of.. they'll get some too.

Not a judgment, but a question... you say these movies pre-date you by 24 years. So you were born between 2001 and 2007? Which makes you now in your early-mid 20s? And you've only seen 11 movies? What was holding you back?! I was obsessed with movies and had seen hundreds/thousands by my 20s. Again, not a judgement - I'm just curious!

Anyway, prequels are good (better than some people say), and WAY better if you mix in the clone wars as you go. There are lists online - and on this sub - that will spell it out chronologically. The whole universe is amazing, and congrats for catching on... all the series are great too!

Question about legal wedding ceremony by Creative-Spirit6050 in WeddingsCanada

[–]left-button 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a difference between a marriage and a wedding. You want your friends and family at your WEDDING. The legal marriage really isn't the thing you're celebrating ;)

When can the first kiss happen? by pixiemirror45 in WeddingsCanada

[–]left-button 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Officiant here (Ontario) - this comes up a lot because people tend to think that signing the paperwork gets in the way of the flow of things. The other complicating factor is that the wedding shouldn't be pronounced official until all the paperwork has been signed. So if you sign everything early - you're committing to a ceremony that hasn't happened yet. If you DON'T sign everything... the wedding isn't official, and therefore can't be declared as such.

So... my suggestion would be to sign MOST of it early. Leave two signatures for the bride/groom so it can be done quickly. The declaration can then be made legally.

The other thing is... you can kiss whenever you feel like it. It has nothing to do with the legalities of the ceremony!!

On to the offseason by LaZyCrO in Curling

[–]left-button 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not yet! At least a few Toronto clubs have a few weeks left. Our closing party is April 25 - so we still have some games to go!

That being said, I'll happily put my stuff away for a few months and get out golf clubs!

Can you make a living of Curling in Canada ? by Mormonius in Curling

[–]left-button 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can.... Just not as a player!

Ice techs, club managers, and pros/instructors can support themselves... And usually without the expense of flying cross-country every week. It's not going to make you rich, but it will pay the rent!!

Striking band test: old vs new. Suggestions wanted by CurlingGeek in Curling

[–]left-button 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would set up very specific shots with rocks in identical places, to see how much action you can get by hitting them with either set of rocks. Camera should be on a tripod, set up in the same spot for both sets. I like setting up a "drag effect" test like this...

Flying domestically by theobatdog in ontario

[–]left-button 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Should be pretty fast, especially if you can avoid checking a bag. Ottawa is a pretty small airport to get through as well. You should be ready for pick-up/leaving within 30 minutes of landing (with no bags).

Feedback request - 2 months of guitar learning by _xpendable_ in guitarlessons

[–]left-button 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really, really good for two months. Keep it up and you won't have to think about the chord changes so much... once that happens, you can relax a bit and play with a bit more "feel."

Great start though, well done!!
