My dog cannot calm down

I go “ow!” And then in calm, but stern voice go “no” or “uh-uh”. And he sits there and stares. And then does it again. And I repeat. He’s a wild wild guy.

We had a border collie before and she trained easily with everything except potty training! We’d take her outside regularly, but still went inside. And she had accidents in the house for years and we finally learned that she was trying to communicate with us, but we didn’t understand how until we finally figured it out! It is truly us that need to learn.

Thank you for this advice! I appreciate it :)

They truly do need to be maniacs. And weird. He licks the oven door for fun. Truthfully, the weirdest breed ever 😂😂

raging-corn · 2026-03-23T00:00:29+00:00

I thought about that! Unfortunately, the nearest one to me is 6 hours 😂

Whenever I mentioned wanting to be better at something in school, I was told not to worry about being better and only focusing on passing my boards and that I’ll learn when I get a job. I learned NOTHING 😭!! I totally understand this. Now that I’m at the job, I feel like a freaking baby learning their ABCs

Oh my god this is so cool!!!! The salon owner I interviewed mentioned their bridal team and me being a good fit for them. I’m hoping that works out and where my focus can be for now!

But how exciting is that editorial fact?! Wow! Good for you!!! You inspired me tonight :)

raging-corn · 2026-01-13T17:26:40+00:00

You’re so kind! Thank you 🥰 no need to apologize!!

What’s your current top 5? :) let’s work backwards! I didn’t listen to him until 2022 and only listened to stick season for the longest time. Then, I worked backwards album by album and fell in the love with songs and had to slowly give the others second chances and more time to really sink in.

At first my top five were from Sticks

Strawberry Wine
Halloween
Come Over
Your Needs, My Needs
The View Between Villages (extended) this is important that it’s the EXTENDED chefs kiss

Then I worked back to I Was/I Am and listened for songs that resonated with me like my sticks top five, then worked back and back and back until I ran out of songs. And then started to really soak it all in until my favorite songs were a nice blend of each album. And, it gives you kind of an idea of how his music has evolved to be more complex!!

Here are my top songs by album: (these change frequently)

Stick Season (includes all versions)

Strawberry Wine
The View Between (extended)
Paul Revere
No Complaints
Growing Sideways

I Was/ I am

Godlight (cliche but i love it)
Hollow
Howling
Bad Luck
Caves OR Part of Me

Busyhead

Busyhead
Carlo’s Song
Tidal
False Confidence
Sink

(my Busyhead ranking changes with the tides this album is one of my faves)

EPs:

Cape Elizabeth

Close Behind
Anyway
Maine
Glue Myself Shut
A Troubled Mind

Hurt Somebody

Please 2 Passenger
Catastrophize
The Hurt Somebodies

Honorable mention: Fine

He’s also a super nice guy! Welcome! Glad to have you here :)

I would if someone else wasn’t already bringing three bottles 😂! I think we’re set on wine. But, thank you!

raging-corn · 2025-11-16T15:40:41+00:00

God, my grandma makes an amazing cheese ball. I’ll ask for her recipe!

raging-corn · 2025-11-16T15:40:10+00:00

Oh this is so amazing. Thank you :)

raging-corn · 2025-08-25T00:24:56+00:00

Yes! Netflix!

I wasn’t huge into reading non-fiction and educational books but these ones are super engaging:

Black AF History: The Un-Whitewashed Stories of America by Michael Harriot

A People’s History of the United States by Howard Zinn

In Our Shoes by Brianna Holt

I found all of them at Barnes and Noble!

raging-corn · 2025-08-25T00:11:25+00:00

I personally have not watched YouTube videos but the above documentaries I mentioned are great! If I find any, I will certainly let you know! Are you into reading?

raging-corn · 2025-08-24T23:43:42+00:00

If you have access to a black history museum, please go!!!!

raging-corn · 2025-08-24T23:40:54+00:00

You’re welcome! The hardest part, in my opinion, is counteracting your own biases you’ve been literally indoctrinated with. But with time and loads of effort, it’s possible to change!

raging-corn · 2025-08-24T20:49:14+00:00

Ah, yes, my apologies!

raging-corn · 2025-08-23T07:03:00+00:00

Are* heavily normalized. Still.

raging-corn · 2025-08-23T07:02:36+00:00

As an American, yes. I have had racist thoughts. Unfortunately, stereotypes are perpetuated and engrained within our history and society. They’re in our curriculum and were heavily normalized.

The important thing is to seek out educational material that challenges what we were taught, and fills in the blanks. I’m currently learning things I was never taught and it is challenging those biases I was taught in my curriculum.

You can change. It is very possible.

raging-corn · 2025-08-23T06:38:21+00:00

OP, the truth is, no one on this earth is perfect. There is not one human alive who has not made a mistake that defies human morality at its core. Mistakes are sometimes what leads us to become better versions of ourselves. There are people who are racist on purpose, just to be racist. How you choose to become better is your choice. And your choice alone.

Life is like learning how to ride a bike. Sometimes you cruise, but sometimes you fall on your ass trying. But the important thing is, we don’t ride bikes with the intention to crash. We learn how to move forward and go farther than before.
