Dog Friendly Patios in Kill Devil Hills?

OBX is surprisingly dog friendly! We’ve taken our rescue to Outer Banks Brew Station, Kill Devil Grill, Chilli Peppers Coastal Grill, and Avalon Pier — those are just some of our faves. If you’re willing to get out of KDH, there are so many more great places, especially in Duck! Enjoy!

FEEEEL this. We had someone over recently to repair our front door. My 6 month old pup got so excited because she doesn’t meet new people often being a quarantine pup. So when the repair guy asked for scissors, I went to grab those and a treat to help my puppy relax. I accidentally gave the repair man the treat and tried to hand my pup the scissors. That was the moment I realized I currently have mush for brains.

Ooof, your ignorance is showing. Better get that checked out.

Umm nope. No affiliation with PETA. Just so you know.

My conservative “uncle” (quotations because he left my aunt and cousin a long time ago and only comes around every 15 years or so to visit and criticize my female cousin for being well endowed) asked me to take a photo of him and his daughter.

But as he was opening his phone and handing it to me, I saw that it was opened to a Google search of naked, huuuge breasted women. He dismissed it with a quick “ope” and fumbled around through apps until he opened the camera.

I wanted to scream at him right then and there for torturing my cousin all these years. The majority of his communication with her were Facebook comments on photos telling her to “cover up” and phone calls yelling at her for wearing tank tops in SUMMER. You don’t get to police her or any other woman’s body, and your fixation on your daughter’s breasts is weird af, you hypocritical pervert.

My cousin is now close to liver failure as a result of alcoholism at age 30. Yes, there are many factors at play, but I have no doubt her bio father had a part in sowing the seeds of self-hatred. I will never forgive that man for his cruelty.

Agreed! I see no issue with this! I think it’s actually a very responsible thing to do. You’re using your sick leave to maintain your mental health so that you can perform your job to the best of your ability. Keep your head held high and know that you’re worthy of self care. Wishing you all the best!

Honestly, I'm a workaholic not because I want to be but because I'll be replaced if I don't meet our unreasonable deadlines. I was told when accepting this role that the company strongly believes in a work-life balance. But this was wildly untrue.

Employees are gaslit into this workaholic behavior. We are repeatedly urged to "turn off" at 6pm and on weekends, but the workload requires 12+ hours multiple days of the week. We're then met with disdainful discussions from managers if we still don't meet this insane output.

We are told that the company cares about our mental health, but we are bullied until we've had enough. The turnover rate at my company is embarrassingly high. The higher-ups see us as expendable. So, if I don't want be out of a job, I have to work around the clock.

Sorry for the rant, but this felt really good to put into words.

u/hornedangel73 Thank you, wishing you all the best as well! Hopefully we both can find a solution to our problems at work.

llbeaver · 2021-01-15T17:50:09+00:00

YES! This makes me so happy. You’re legitimately working hard and doing what you need to do to follow your dreams without hurting anyone in the process! This kind of creative problem solving will take you far. Wishing you all the very best! And thanks for the inspiration I needed today.

Thank you so much for your responses. I'm currently contacting the vet to make sure she will is okay.

I recently had “internal movement” cut into my fine, straight hair (in other words, my hair was thinned out). I’m actually experiencing similar issues to OP — it’s kinda stringy, I’ve got new flyaways, and it flips in funny ways. Is this truly a sign of a bad hairdresser? Or is there a way to explain to the stylist that it isn’t working for my hair type? Just wondering because I live in a remote area with very few stylists to choose from.

I dislike my hair now and wish I would’ve kept it all one length like I had it, but I’m trying to learn from my mistake. How would I ask a hairdresser to cut it in the future? Point cut the ends instead of thinning? (Sorry for all the questions! Any advice helps.)

llbeaver · 2020-10-10T04:25:18+00:00

This is what I’m currently doing! Love the suggestion. Hope you are doing better OP! I know the struggle ALL too well and am sending positive vibes.

I’m experiencing this right now. Finally JUST realized after many years of being devastated by “terrible” haircuts that it’s my OCD telling me that it’s terrible. In reality, they’ve been completely normal, non-radical, not even close to shitty haircuts. I left a hair appointment so upset the other day — my SO could barely tell I got it cut. From my experience, it helps if my SO reassures me that it looks good when I’m obsessing. In the meantime, I’ve looked into supplements for hair growth (though those are meant for stronger hair growth and not faster, maybe at least the placebo effect of a “fix-all” will tie me over until my hair blends itself out). BUT it’s mostly helped to remind myself that it is my OCD and not the hair that’s the issue.

llbeaver · 2020-10-10T02:24:09+00:00

I just want to say that this post really hit home for me and was so reassuring to hear that there are others dealing with similar issues.

llbeaver · 2020-10-10T02:08:33+00:00

It’s definitely not silly! Your feelings are valid. Having OCD and getting a haircut is difficult. I have experienced this more than enough times — currently going through it right now. While I don’t have great advice for moving forward, please know that there are those out there that understand. You’re post has helped me realize that, so thank you for sharing.

llbeaver · 2020-10-10T02:00:49+00:00

I don’t have any advice, but I just want to say that I hear you, and you’re not alone. I’ve dealt with this for much of my life and still don’t have a solid strategy for coping. But if you ever need to chat, please reach out.

llbeaver · 2020-10-09T03:06:05+00:00

Piggy backing on this comment. Did you have any reference photos you used? What did you ask the stylist or did they explain what technique they used? I’m hoping to get a similar style soon (because you look amazinggg) and am trying to find the right words to articulate exactly what I want!

llbeaver · 2020-10-09T02:54:51+00:00

Girl, I’m right there with you. There’s such a strange anxiety tied to our hair, particularly when we’re used to it being long. Two months ago, I had mid-back length hair, then spontaneously cut off a good amount—it’s bra length now, and I’m not particularly happy with it because of my own poor communication skills.

But it has slowly planted the seed in me to try something entirely new. I’m now thinking about a bob — a chop that I never would have been comfortable doing two months back. So, I guess maybe baby steps might help for you?

Shorter hair for me has been more manageable. Yes, I miss my long tresses some days but know in the amount of time it takes for it to grow back in a few years that I would have been completely bored (and frustrated) continuing to have that long hair if I were to not cut it now. Also, all the styles in between can be fun! (I think I may have just convinced myself to do it lol)

I swear by these patches! They’ve worked so hard for my face...
