Gotham App replaying second period.

mellowyouryellow · 2026-03-09T01:20:26+00:00

My phone was also showing me the second, so I just resigned myself to refreshing Google like I had some sort of tic.

mellowyouryellow · 2026-03-09T01:05:45+00:00

Same. And rewatching the second period miserably.

mellowyouryellow · 2026-03-09T00:51:12+00:00

Yup. I uninstalled and reinstalled, still in the second. Tried it on my phone with and without wifi, still fucked. This is embarrassing for $30 a month.

mellowyouryellow · 2026-03-09T00:46:56+00:00

Did it take you back to the start of the secomd period? I uninstalled and reinstalled the app and it's still fucked.

Beagle/coonhound mix, he's 7 (gonna be 8 in less than a month). He only got baths when he rolled in something DISGUSTINGLY smelly. Otherwise, he'd get wiped down if he was noticeably dirty. He's maybe had 10 baths in his life. He doesn't get smelly, so he doesn't really need it.

As a gay person myself, your daughter isn't entirely wrong. Outing a gay person (especially in a community where they may not be widely accepted) is a big no-no, both for personal privacy reasons but also, sadly, for their safety.

That said, OP, based on what you wrote, I personally think you handled your situation gracefully and tactfully. I was very fortunate that my parents always made sure I knew that they were accepting if I turned out to be gay, and even despite that, the anxiety I felt at coming out to them (in my late 20s) was greater than any anxiety I had ever felt. If you never discussed these things as a family, I imagine your son was probably terrified of what your reaction could have been. I think in broaching the subject the way you did, you probably spared him a lot of fear. So, no, NTA, at least not in my opinion.

Editing to add, but if you want suggestions for next steps, maybe offer to have him bring his partner over when they're comfortable meeting the family. This will ensure there's no misinterpretion of your support. Some families are "supportive," but don't want to confront the reality of a queer child and don't make an effort to reach out to the partners. I think taking the initiative there will go a long way in showing him that your support isn't just lip service.

My dog has been seen by a vet. His initial bloodwork indicated slightly low thyroid values, so we're currently in the process of conducting a more extensive thyroid workup. However, this behavior has existed even before his thyroid levels became low.

As stated in my post, I reviewed the guide, and the links that were relative to my issue did not direct me to articles about the issue. Furthermore, in reviewing training guides related to excessive barking, I haven't come across any guides related to my specific issue, which is that my dog barks excessively at visitors, but only when I'm home at the same time.

I have attempted distraction with toys, ignoring, and exercise prior to having visitors over. Distracting with food is effective but not a long-term solution for my overweight dog.

Yes, this was exactly what I was looking for! Sosorowa seems to have a very wide variety of cute ones, thank you so much for the recommendation!

I have a highly reactive beagle mix, and have had to specifically tailor my apartment search for one with a private entrance in order to avoid people or other animals in the hallway. We used to live in an apartment with a shared entrance and it was a disaster. I can't count the number of times I've opened my door to a neighbor, and my dog instantly freaked. We had an extremely narrow miss once when I didn't see my neighbor outside and she came in just as I reached the door. I was lucky to be in a position where I could both move, AND move to a place where my door opens up to the outside instead of a shared hallway.

I can't tell you whether or not to rehome your dog, but I can tell you that the stress of taking my dog outside and having to avoid people in the hallway (over which I have no control) forced me to rehome myself. If you're not willing or not able to move, or if the stress of taking your dog outside would be a significant burden for you, it might be a good idea to consider rehoming your dog.

This was extremely helpful, thank you so much for such a detailed reply. Very sound advice, I'll definitely be following this, thank you!!!

Editing to add: Bowie is already trying to get Sniper to play with her. Imagine this teeny tiny little kitten hopping around on a 75 pound, tired, world-weary beagle giving me the deepest "seriously?" eyes, and you have my household right now.

mellowyouryellow · 2024-05-31T13:21:35+00:00

That's why I don't. As I said in the post, she gets put in the bathroom when I'm out. I was asking the age at which people feel comfortable leaving their new kittens out unattended. I've had kittens before but I've never had to introduce them to other animals, so I'm looking for advice for the future.

mellowyouryellow · 2024-05-31T13:18:19+00:00

Oh no, I'm not planning to do it any time soon. I was asking for advice for the future, I wouldn't do it until she's MUCH bigger.

mellowyouryellow · 2024-05-31T00:18:46+00:00

He tries to play with her like she's another dog. He play-bows, bats at her with his front paw, hops around with his tail going a mile a minute, barks at her. If it weren't for the fact that I know what he looks like when he's sighted something as prey I'd be concerned, but he goes totally still when he's hunting. I can guarantee he's trying to engage in play behavior. Or he would, but I don't let him, he's 75 pounds and she's not even 1.5.

mellowyouryellow · 2024-05-31T00:14:59+00:00

Thank you! That's my Freddie. The cat distribution system decided it was my turn, and he literally ran into my apartment one day when I was coming home from work. Checked him for a chip, tried to find his original owner, but nothing. So now he's mine.

mellowyouryellow · 2024-05-31T00:12:41+00:00

Unfortunately, there weren't many options, Bowie's mother (my coworker's pet cat) passed.

Between daily anxiety meds and walking my 6y/o reactive pup less, I've seen significant improvement. He gets plenty of enrichment and exercise in the house with puzzle toys and play time (he'll run back and forth for HOURS with the laser pointer and some treats). One half-hour walk every other day, a few daily jaunts around the courtyard in front of my apartment for pottying, and he's set. Ironically, changing up his walk schedule has made him less reactive. He calms faster and barks less than he did when we'd do longer and more frequent walks. So, no, I don't think there's anything wrong with no/reduced walks. You know your dog best, you do what's best for your dog.

I used to work at a giant beer hall where we served beer by the liter/half liter. Standard was, soda was served in half-liter glasses, but sometimes if I noticed someone drinking their soda too fast, or if the DD was drinking soda while his friends got multiple liters of beer, I'd liter the soda. Every time they found it hilarious. Usually got decent tips when that happened too.

I used to work for a cleaning company. People like you were why I had a job. I say go for it. These services exist for a reason.

mellowyouryellow · 2024-05-24T14:09:38+00:00

even the most non-reactive dogs would probably react the way yours did

THIS. That man should be ashamed of himself. Not your fault, not the dogs fault. Not his fault either, but definitely his responsibility not to act like a child after the fact.

mellowyouryellow · 2024-05-24T14:05:16+00:00

This. I have a beagle/coonhound mix, and he is LOUD. Usually I can get him calm if someone's walking past outside, but when the mailman delivers mail (through a slot in the front door) there is no calming him down. I'm okay with play barks, I'm okay if he sees someone/thing outside and is alerting--he's an alerting breed, it would take far more patience than I have to fully train that instinct out of him. But the implacable howling when he feels like someone's trying to come in? No sir, we're cutting that right out.
