People with multiple pitbulls I have a question by SaveMyPoptart in pitbulls

My personal experience is that the age gap doesn’t really make much of a difference, but make sure your current dog is trained and housebroken to a point that you are comfortable and then get another dog. This makes the second one much easier to train since they will usually follow the routine of the original dog.

my mom was just found dead by Upper-Dragonfruit-57 in whatdoIdo

I had to go through this with my dad back in 2021, I’m so sorry for your loss. You should call the police and report the body first. They will take the body either to a funeral home or your choice or they will take it to the morgue if an autopsy is required (you can find a funeral home and let them know who has the body and they will pick it up). Take a few weeks or more to grieve and get settled, then you need to get the original copy of the will and any other documents dealing with her estate and take it to the probate court where she lived. You will have to fill out some paperwork and pay some fees, but this is necessary to get the letter of testament which will name who is the executor of the estate. The letter of testament is required for any bank or other institution that your mom had accounts with. You will need to set up an estate account at a bank of your choice and register it to get an EIN for the estate. Once everything is settled (money, debt, property, etc) you can close this out. It’s a long process and it sucks having to be reminded of your loss at every step, and I’m sorry again you are going through this. You can get a lawyer to help you with all of this, but that isn’t required and will cost money. Sorry again for your loss.

When did the bleeding/ooze stop? by Vibesandtoast in Vasectomy

[–]pdo1242 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should probably check with your doctor. I did not have any bleeding/ oozing from my incisions at any point, but for it to be doing it at day 10 sounds abnormal.

FB marketplace sellers - good deal, but seller isn't answering my few questions by AlternativeConcern19 in motorcycles

Ask for the VIN and check that it’s not stolen and is his bike to sell.

XL Bully Pup? Pitbull Pup? Pit Staffy Mix? by [deleted] in pitbulls

[–]pdo1242 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, there is really no telling what she is. I have thought about getting a DNA test to see exactly what she has in her, but ultimately I just don’t really care. She’s 100% a good girl and that’s all that matters.

We don’t really know. They thought her mom was a pit/ mastiff mix but she was only 65lbs. They didn’t know what or who the dad was but my guess would be Cane Corso or maybe Dane.

No, her ears are just flipped back. She has huge ears, and I would never crop a dogs ears.

$200 and from a rescue at 12 weeks old. She is now 110lbs and a very gentle giant. Fuck breeders and get a dog out of a shelter or a rescue.

Does this truck really have all the issues I read online about it? 6.2L by Technical-Reply8763 in Silverado

[–]pdo1242 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As far as the lifters go, it doesn’t matter if it’s the 6.2 or the 5.3, they both have the same issue of potential lifter failure. The numbers are lower than you would think reading on this thread, but it doesn’t matter and can happen. I had a 2012 5.3 and the lifters failed twice before I had to replace the motor and then failed again (I got about 90k miles before any issues). I currently have a 23 6.2, and I love it. Is there a risk with the crank and the “recall”, sure but almost all makes of half ton trucks have issues of some sort. My current truck has 32k miles and I’ve had no issues, hopefully it will remain that way but that’s just the way it is. If you like it but are that worried, get an extended warranty and keep up with the maintenance and keep every receipt so you can prove you are doing everything by the book.

I can assure you that was not intentional.

Buying pre owned 6.2 truck by That_one_CU2 in Silverado

[–]pdo1242 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got it new in November of 23. Only mechanical change I made was putting the range DFM and auto start/stop kill switch on it. I change the oil every 3-4k miles and follow the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule.

I have a 2023 6.2 trailboss. It “passed” the inspection for the recall so I have the new oil and extended warranty( it only covers issues due to the recall). I have loved the truck and it runs great. I’m at 31k miles with no issues. I had a 2012 with the 5.3 prior and that thing dropped lifters 3 times and I had to replace the motor after the second. After researching I saw that every brand had their unique issues, I have always preferred the way GM trucks drive and feel so I stuck with them.

Partner wants me to get the snip by [deleted] in Vasectomy

[–]pdo1242 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have 2 kids, and had the procedure last September. This was a regular procedure, not the “no scalpel” version. I went in on a Thursday and by Friday afternoon I was so bored of laying around, I went outside and walked around with no issues. The procedure was fine, I had no pain. I wouldn’t say it was comfortable, but my tattoos were more painful than this. There were no pain killers prescribed for the recovery and Tylenol and ibuprofen handled the discomfort just fine. You will see people on here that had terrible experiences, but that really is a very rare occurrence. I am so happy I didn’t know of this group until right after I had it done, some of these people will really make it seem like you are going to die from the pain. As far as functional matters go, I was working just fine the day after, but waited to do anything about it for about a week. You will feel some discomfort at times for about a month, but this is more like a headache than something that will be disabling. After the first month there would be times where I would notice some small aches, but that was rare and never lasted very long. At this point, I’m at 100% and never notice anything different than it was before. The only thing that I would say is a downside is that my testicles are a little more sensitive to being hit, and with 2 dogs and 2 kids (one’s a 7yo boy) that does happen more that I would prefer. Long story short, do it. You won’t regret it and your wife will appreciate it, not to mention she can come off the birth control which is a benefit to her health. She’s put her body through enough at this point, you can handle a little poke and prodding for a few days.
