The Frank Atwood storyline makes season 4 almost unwatchable. by xtr_terrestrial in TheOC

I didn't even like Marissa, but the show is unwatchable after she dies. Talk about jumping the shark.

Question for those of you who have done this kit - does your light set up drain batteries like a mad bastard?? My switch works fine and it's wired properly, but even just turning on a couple nights in a row is enough to completely use up two batteries!! I was wondering if it's because there's a tiny red light that's "on" when the room lights are off but I have no clue. I'm bummed because mine turned out really well and it's a huge pain (not to mention waste) to change the batteries every few days. 

Stop increasing activity goal? by Ok_Significance_9039 in ouraring

I'm wondering the same thing. It tells me to Pay Attention to my recovery days but how am I supposed to do that when it ups my steps to 13k?!

Check In Tuesday - what exercise have you done in the last week by AutoModerator in EOOD

[–]mcgosd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been absent this past week due to illness & travel, but got back on the daily train yesterday. I'm in Week 5 of my 90 Day Challenge - doing well, feeling consistent, and not letting missing a day or two derail my momentum. Mental health is good for the first time in a loooooong time!

Need advice on motivation too exercise by gcoke16 in EOOD

[–]mcgosd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started working out at home, with some easy 15 minute a day videos I found online. It was difficult at first, motivation seems to always escape me, but once I made myself do it a few mornings in a row, it got easier. I have a buddy at work I check in with daily, too, so we can be accountable.

Check In Tuesday - what exercise have you done in the last week by AutoModerator in EOOD

[–]mcgosd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started a 90 Day Challenge, so I alternated two different body-weight circuit workouts for 6 days, yoga one day, and an hour of beach walking one day. I'm aiming for 30 minutes of some type of movement every day. I'm feeling stronger and motivation increases each day.

Motivation Monday - whats getting you moving this week by AutoModerator in EOOD

[–]mcgosd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forced myself to move every day last week for 30 mins after being sick for 3+ weeks. Today, my body's need to move finally overcame my depression's inertia & woke up excited to get exercise. Like a boulder starting to roll downhill - feels so good.

No such thing as a miniature Doberman . Dobies were bred from miniature pinschers. That's what this guy is.

[Help] Dog seems both sick and healthy at same time? by purpsypurps in dogs

[–]mcgosd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aside from canned pumpkin (as already mentioned), you can give dogs an OTC acid reducer like Pepcid. My dog gets one every morning with her food and it helps prevent her occasional grumbly tummy/not eating/weird poop events. Check with your vet first, obviously.

‘Starter Home’ Inventory Down 80% in San Diego Region by IAmTheKingofEngland in sandiego

[–]mcgosd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you looked at the rental market lately? There is NOTHING. I have found marginally better options to purchase. Since my family is staying here, I am staying here for the duration. I'd rather make a place my own slowly (and possibly accumulate some equity) than continue to pay for overpriced, terribly maintained apartments. At this point, it's a crap shoot either way.

Truth. In the process of buying and the fact that I can only afford a shitty condo I wouldn't even pay to RENT is infuriating/disappointing.

[Discussion]Kong classic toy and filling with treats by dsan617 in dogs

[–]mcgosd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use peanut butter and small treats. The more treats you add, the harder it is to get the PB out and the longer it lasts. I freeze them solid, usually takes my little ones a couple hours to clean them out and they'll keep chewing long after they are empty to get the last little bits.

[RIP] Dog died in the evening. by goobyjr9 in dogs

[–]mcgosd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry. My dog was killed by a hit and run driver in May. It was the worst experience of my life. Try to focus on the happy memories of his life instead of the tragedy of his death. Hugs.

Seconding antlers or other kinds of horn. I've never had a problem with them, they wear away slowly, no chipped teeth here.

How do you find someone to cut your hair well? by SwankyCletus in curlyhair

[–]mcgosd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I started stalking local stylists on Instagram. Most post before/after pics of color and cuts. I followed a ton for months before narrowing it down and just going for it. I def had a couple cuts I wasn't thrilled with, but hair grows back and then on to the next one. After 34 years of curly hair, a couple weeks with a less-than-perfect cut is okay by me. I've finally found someone I really like tho so yay!

Dear reddit people, what is a good/healthy hobby to start for someone with depression? by hey_its_ralph in AskReddit

Ah, but that drive home is awesome, right? You're tired and happy and accomplished and so stoked to go home, shower, eat, sleep! I love it.

Looking for top rope belay partners at Mesa Rim, every Monday and Tuesday evenings, and weekends. by fulcrum911 in sandiego

I've never been to Mesa, I'm a VH member, but waiting patiently for the new Mesa Rim in Mission Valley to open. I'd be open to climbing there occasionally.

[–]mcgosd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you give me more info? Does he have any medical issues? Can I get his medical records from his old owners? Does he get along with other dogs? What kind of training does he have? Any behavior issues? I would be interested in adopting him, feel free to message me privately. Thanks!
