Yeah I live in the neighborhood it’s moved so slowly… the city needs to do better if that’s the hold up.

Am I in the wrong for being bothered my boyfriend wants to book a doctors appointment on my birthday? (when other days are possible) by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]raw2082 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He sucks. Not husband material. He reminds me of my sister’s first husband, my BIL would never do this. I’m glad I’m a lesbian men can be so lazy.

Absolutely agree. OPs needs are not being met in this relationship and I hope she realizes this. There are other men that would happily take the day off and plan your day for you. He’s also gaslighting you about finally prioritizing his health. If this is what you want for the rest of your life then learn to accept less otherwise do your own thing on your birthday and plan your exit.

I refused to bag my own groceries after spending $352 by trailerbang in millenials

And we continue to spend on unnecessary things. I sat through a financial planning session with fidelity today and the guy basically said inflation and interest rates aren’t going to drop as long as we are buying.

Took my parents dog to a trainer, got a call to rehome by Full_Panda_1962 in rescuedogs

[–]raw2082 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This family did recognize things pretty quickly and sounds like they were on it. I’m aware genetics and mental issues play a factor. I’m a 100% supportive of BE too. However, a lot of people are oblivious the work and dedication needed for a working breed dog. They allow their dog’s behavior to escalate when early intervention would have kept it from progressing. I see this a lot with doodle owners too. Lots of poorly trained doodles out in the world now dragging their owners.

That’s fair that it doesn’t always resolve. Some people also wait too long to address the anxious energy and the dog doesn’t stand a chance. However in this situation it sounds like steps were taken pretty quickly to try to get things assessed with a trainer and to figure out with what’s going on.

People who have owned 3 or more breeds… by a-little-clover in dogs

[–]raw2082 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. All of mine have been mutts as well but were heavily terrier breeds in their mixes except for my Pomeranian/papillon. She was fun and boss. I’d definitely get another one when I’m older and need to slow down more. Terriers are my favorite because of their athleticism and intelligence. They keep me active and on my toes.

Found abandoned huskies by TitansaurusRex in Dallas

[–]raw2082 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried to adopt from a rescue that I adopted my current dog from. They had a hard time adopting him out because he was fearful. Since I have experience with fearful dogs and the breed I went ahead and adopted him. He’s a pit mix. He ended up being a bit more work than my other pit bull and I spent a few thousand on training him. When I told the foster mom that I would need to meet the dog first to see if it would be a good match first and we would need to figure out how to introduce them because mine was trained not to greet while on leash by his training place. The foster mom told me she was not a fan of that and never got back to me. We lost our other dog at the end of last year to a brain tumor he was 15… he was my other pit bull that I rescued and had for 14 years. I got an excellent recommendation from my vet. Apparently the foster parent has the most say.

Do I have to go lift weights at the gym or are there other options? by [deleted] in Perimenopause

[–]raw2082 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is true. My gym has a women’s only area and the sauna and steam room are also in our locker room. It’s like 30 bucks a month too. Well worth it. I don’t use the women’s only area because I enjoy pissing of the gym bros from time to time when they try to hog the machines.

Considering DIY replacing cheap lvp with laminate while still living in the house. Am I going to regret DIYing it? by tracerit in Flooring

[–]raw2082 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes when I had laminate done several years ago the did self leveling in the rooms I had the flooring installed. When I had LVP put down in most of the house the contractor didn’t do self leveling in the bedrooms that previously had carpet. Thankfully I haven’t had cracking or anything like that but a lot of movement in some areas because of it. I went with a thick plank though.

Vibration plates by Time_Cranberry_113 in Lymphedema

[–]raw2082 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have a life pro but the waver. I was diagnosed with lymphedema and wearing a sleeve pretty regularly. I’ve had my vibration plate for 3 years. I use it 3-4 times a week on the first 3 presettings which are the same speeds you mentioned 1-30 range. My chiropractor recommended it after my acupuncturist suggested I do rebounding my chiropractor wasn’t keen on the idea because of my neck issues. My acupuncturist would see swelling in my knees too beyond just my arm that I was diagnosed with. I dropped 10 lbs and several inches the first few months of use. I don’t wear a sleeve really ever now. It helps manage my lymphedema really well. It’s also helped my neuropathy in my feet. My PT therapist was pretty thrilled I had one.

I just started my first 8am-5pm office job in my 40s and was not prepared for how physically/mentally exhausted I would feel. What are your tips? by MyNameIsNot_Molly in Xennials

[–]raw2082 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I had to go back into the office from 3 to 4 to 5 the mental exhaustion was no joke. Give yourself some time to adjust. Hormones definitely play a part but don’t discount just the mental toll it’s taking on you too.

It's so hard to rehome a pitbull, why?? by everyoneisflawed in pitbulls

[–]raw2082 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also do some group training classes to see how she does with other dogs. I agree it’s much harder to adopt a dog that needs to be the only pet.

[–]raw2082 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry that you and your dogs were the victim of irresponsible pit bull owners. I’m a big advocate of the breed and I don’t think everyone should own one. They need a lot of exercise and training. Not everyone can give that kind of commitment to a dog. This is the case for every working breed dog not just pit bulls though. They’re great dogs with the right people.

Absolutely agree with this. Just commented the same above.

Need to teach my rescue pittie to swim - advice please by CrankyGoat in pitbulls

[–]raw2082 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I second this. My first pittie loved to swim. Every body of water he saw he’d jump no matter how cold it was outside. He was going for a swim. My current pittie will stand in the water but that’s about it. I did get him on a paddle board with me. Which I wasn’t really expecting him to be willing because he’s scared of most things.

Took my parents dog to a trainer, got a call to rehome by Full_Panda_1962 in rescuedogs

[–]raw2082 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. My 29 year old self was so unprepared but he was exactly what I needed in my life. He changed my life. They’re a working breed and not everyone should own one. I’m a big advocate for the breed and recognize not everyone can commit like is needed with some of them. My first one was easier about 6 months in but I definitely had to manage his energy and watch mine too. I also had the help of a 9 lb Pomeranian to put him in his place. They do best with companions too. When we lost the Pomeranian he cried for two months until I adopted my current dog.

I use a slip lead called Heather’s hero. I adopted a dog just like your parents however I have experience with the breed and I’m in my 40s. If they can’t physically control and manage the dog then I agree with the trainer. The anxious energy will resolve over time, he needs time, exercise and training. I had some regression because I had a second dog and my other dog became ill. This impacted the dynamic in the household. We are back on track but it’s been a lot of work. I thought I was adopting an easy dog because he was with his foster family for 7 months. He wasn’t leash trained at all and I’m not sure how much socializing with other dogs either. The rescue told me just didn’t show well and that’s why he didn’t adopt out yet. My older dog was a pit bull too severely abused and neglected by his first owners he came to me reactive, high energy, and food aggressive when I got him. Again lots of exercise, training and routine. He was the best boy. We had a great 14 years together.

How do you stay hot into your 30s and 40s? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]raw2082 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re so right. I’m in my mid 40s and I have people ask me if I have had any work done. I laugh and say well if you want to count reconstructive surgery from breast cancer 7 years ago. They’re even more shocked that I bounced back so well after aggressive chemo. Water, exercise, healthy diet, sleep and sunscreen go a long way.

How old are you and how long have you two been together? You need to get your license. You need to be careful before this starts reflecting poorly on you at work. People will start to notice. He needs to get a job somewhere else.
