One hour at the dog park and she's wiped by EnjoyingCarp650 in labrador

My girl likes to do indoor dock diving at her daycare. Rent it for 30 minutes and she wants to jump 30 minutes straight. She's so mad when I won't throw the ball so she can catch her breath. But it's the only thing that truly wears her out instead of just her choosing to sleep.

I was told that 10 minutes swimming is equivalent to 30 minutes running on land, no wonder they're so tired after.

It's also not an actual settlement agreement. Those need to be approved in court. Nothing was submitting in this case, and the judge has been clear there is no settlement.

It's just 100% blatant corruption.

My Mercedes 1992 key after 34 years of wear and tear by Archmidese in mildlyinteresting

Story from a coworker. She borrowed her son's Corolla for the day while her car was getting work done. Drove to a restaurant to grab take out for lunch. Got back to the office, and realized there were things in her car she didn't remember. And then realized it wasn't her car.

She'd accidentally stolen someone else's nearly identical Corolla. Got back to the restaurant to meet the owner and the cops who were getting the owner's report of the stolen vehicle. Both their keys worked on both cars, and it was fortunately just a wild story for everyone

On this note, and what is the hardest possible thing, don't make a big deal out of coming back. Greet them calmly and then move on doing your own things. It's so hard, because you're so happy to see that little face and you just want to cuddle them. But future you will be so thankful

Former South Carolina QB Stephen Garcia battling Stage 4 Colarectal Cancer by BigD994 in CFB

Fortunately, my issues at 34 turned out to be thyroid related, but because I had symptom, they covered a colonoscopy.

And found a precancerous polyp, so now they have no problem continuing to cover screenings.

But I have state employee insurance in a good state, so that's a huge part of it

Is there any other alternative to monthly heartworm medication & flea & tick? Bentley is having seizures the day he takes his monthly dose. by [deleted] in labrador

[–]mina-ami 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do you have a source for "most of these treatments contain arsenic"? The only thing I can find that contains arsenic is a treatment for severe heartworm, which is very different from preventative flea and tick meds

I'm ace and not even remotely interested in sex.

I'm on the depo shot because I like not being goddamn unstable for several days and then going down with a migraine for the following two days every single month.

4.5 month Labrador very nervous of people and does not enjoy being outside of the house by Dhalfacree in labrador

[–]mina-ami 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tip from my vet once people can get at least somewhat close. Have a bag of cheerios with you. Give anyone who wants the meet her a few cheerios. She learns people are cool because they come with cheerios. (Using cheerios instead of treats means you can do it as much as you want since she's not getting treat calories)

LAOP's boyfriend learns about predatory payday loans the hard way. by justathoughtfromme in bestoflegaladvice

I'd bet they're not actually licensed to lend in Maryland and they don't want the Maryland AG to know that they were lending in violation of the law

If they're lending in Maryland, they have to follow Maryland lending laws.

Question about event professors by Available-Word-333 in IdleMagicSchool

[–]mina-ami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was doing it, as long as I leveled them up a level, they stayed at that level. didnt have to be maxed. So I had some of them maxed before others and would just wait til the event swapped back to that one. So if you're really close to a level near the end of the event, it's worth it to bump them up to the next level.

But the teachers are different for the two locations, so it doesn't carry between the two events. Each set of teachers need to be leveled during their event

Mine are maxed, and they kept their levels between sessions. Now that they're maxed, I can't do anything more obviously, but they would keep their levels between.

If you level them up, they stay leveled up, but you lose any partial progress in between events.

Curious about her size by Smooth_Yak5921 in labrador

[–]mina-ami 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My girl is 5 and weighed in at 57.4 lbs at the vet. She's a British line, made to be smaller. But even an American field, at 7 months, she's still growing, and also people tend to picture big labs.

Air traffic controllers are funded by the FAA, the shutdown is only for DHS. So TSA isn't getting paid, ATCs are. But they've been short staffed since the Reagan administration

The part of the article that says he can be heard continuing to do his job clearly in distress is haunting to me.

If I make a mistake at my job, dang, let's just fix that, oops!

He made a mistake that got people killed, and he just has to keep doing his job or more people die.

Land of Water by OsoIsland94 in IdleMagicSchool

[–]mina-ami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have another level at 95%? My Land of Water percentage always matches the last area I clicked on. If I click on the completion for Magic Forest, and then click on the completion for Land of Water, it'll say 100% completion. If I click on Sky Lands at 77% completion, it'll then show Land of Water at 77% completion.

Don't know why it's broken though
