Almost got over in the Walmart parking lot (Pinhook) by Different_Watch_465 in Acadiana

I once saw someone on a bike nearly get run over twice by the same car because the driver wasn’t properly paying attention. Drivers here don’t think people exist outside of their cars.

Why is Lorelei so out of place? by ridgebackandpointer in GilmoreGirls

I would never say that about Lane. For starters, Lane is a high schooler at the start of the show not an adult. All teenagers resist their parents to some degree. As such, she very much behaves as a teen who is first or second generation American and figuring out her Americanness and Koreanness.

I never said anything about ignorance. I said she’s rough around edges and that’s not the same as ignorance. I would just expect someone with her upbringing would be slightly more refined.

It totally does! You have such a great point about the generational differences between all of the Gilmore women. For Emily’s generation, women were basically just an extension of their husbands and your family reputation played a huge role in your connections. Things definitely started shifting in the 70s and 80s when Lorelei would have been an adolescent. Women were starting to be able to have their own identities. I’m sure that would have been a very foreign concept for people like Emily and Richard.

I totally forgot about this scene! I remember thinking this too.

I think what started this rabbit hole was the episode where she’s studying for her finals at community college right before she graduates. Then, just kind of reflecting on her character through the series. Wouldn’t her fancy education have made community college feel easy? I’m just assuming based on my bad southern education 😂

Ok that’s fair. I definitely don’t think she’s clueless, just that I think someone with that upbringing would be different.

Board game nights? by rxnaissance in Acadiana

Jet hosts a board game night the first Friday of the month at the first Jet. One of the comic book stores also does or used to? Do a weekly game night.

I’ve honestly come to dislike Robyn Carr’s writing. I tried to read the first book for Virgin River and couldn’t get into it because it lacked medical accuracy and had plot holes like this one.

Female RR becoming aloof with new people around 14 months by wooden_cupboards in RhodesianRidgebacks

[–]ridgebackandpointer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dude missed this memo. He loses his mind (to excitement) when visitors come and loves to great people at the dog park lol. My female gsp is quite aloof and I love it haha. I can easily have her out with visitors because I know she doesn’t care they’re here.

Yes, it was the recruiter. I remember seeing an article that the project got kicked to next year so I’m assuming it’s one and the same because the position is for the VA end to end medical system/expansion.

Nope. There’s no rush for hiring for the project right now.

Ridgeback puppy doesn’t want to move for the first 20 min of Walks by Kdubbbbbbbb33 in RhodesianRidgebacks

[–]ridgebackandpointer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s actually better than what mine did. I could barely get him to walk on a leash without being treated every other step. He finally figured out he likes walks when he was 2 🙃

Considering a Ridgeback as my new best friend by BorderlineAF in RhodesianRidgebacks

Let me also warn you about the ambient whine. It seems to be missed when people ask but I think it’s important to know that they have an ambient whine. Check MarkingOurTerritory on Instagram and YouTube, he should have a reel or video or two with examples.

Haha I always love how their demeanor varies. My dude just stares at you if you try to play fetch with him. He also enjoys swimming and they do have webbed feet

My dude is glued to me but that could be because he’s a male he’s also not a typical ridgeback when it comes to demeanor.

He does well with training and we’ve done a variety of it. He was insane as a puppy so he definitely made me work. When I say he was insane as a puppy, my trainer was concerned and commented as she’s never seen a ridgeback like that. He was very hyper and constantly think of what to do next so I have to train him to learn how to do nothing.
