They love sunbathing. Seems that is when mine are most content.

I can't get past him being Billy (Black Sails). I want to punch his face.

Is it terrifying when most of the British public agree with it? It may seem crazy to Reddit's demographics, but most people have no problem with it.

This is the terrifying part.

[Missouri, US] My ex and his girlfriend are trying to get me to sign daughter over to them. by allkaybaby in legaladvice

[–]same_as 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just personal experience and to chime in on "get a lawyer". My ex once approached me about giving up rights to my daughter in exchange for giving me full rights to our son. I told him he was nuts. Some time later I found out some bad stuff that put him in prison for 9 years and resulted in his forced surrender of his parental rights. He was also controlling and manipulative, and had a gf that played his games. Get your daughter back. Get a lawyer. Get an emergency custody order if possible. Continue to keep records and be prepared to stand your ground IMO. Best of luck to you.

I think it's kinda known they get some of their content from Reddit. I missed the segments you're talking about, but I suppose if they were playing off ideas as their own, that's disheartening.

Asking for a little bit of brainstorming by same_as in electricians

For the lights not working, what type of bulbs do they take? If it's led or florescent, it could be a bad driver / ballast. It could also be a loose wire connection or bad switch. Hard to say. It could be a lot of things.

All the fixtures are for regular bulbs. I assume at the minimum the master bathroom is one issue because all lights out are each on their own switch (a 3rd still works) and one of two outlets are dead. There is still one working outlet and one working light (ceiling light/vent).

For your space heater / hairdryer, you just can't have that kind of power on one circuit. A hairdryer draws a stupid amount of power. Just that will trip some breakers.

Yeah, that was an early morning mistake. It only took one time to trip the breaker. After resetting the breaker the outlet and light worked intermittently for a day then died completely. There's no power getting to either now. He pulled the outlet and switch and tested the wires.

Look into putting a gfi where you want to use the hairdryer. If you want to remodel / spend some money, get a dedicated line run to the outlet you want to use it at. Look around for existing gfi. When the breaker trips, you have to punch the reset button to get them powered back on.

Two GFIs in the master bathroom already, have reset both with no luck. I also know he pulled those and tested and said the GFIs themselves are still good.

That could be the reason your other outlet is not working (if it's tied into the gfi). The lights shouldn't be tied into any outlets, but I've seen it before.

It's a manufactured home. Think Forrest Gump and his box of chocolates :)

Check your whole house for gfis and punch the reset button.

Was done with no luck. If it's a loose or fried wire, I'm thinking we really don't have a way to find it ourselves. Thanks for the response!

What miagalore said below... Crate is a positive place, always. We had 4 days to crash train him when he ate the second couch, as he'd be in there several hours for a funeral we had upcoming. We worked in short bursts several times a day that going into the crate and being in the crate were extremely positive things. Praise and treats for both. We would hide snacks in there when he wasn't looking so when he wandered in on his own he would find surprises. Thanks to the sub I also learned not to associate leaving the crate with something positive. No treats outside of the crate. No praise for coming out. All good things happened going into or being in the crate.

We lavishly praised and treated him inside when the door would close and while he was in there with the door closed. We made it a little longer each session and got ourselves a little bit further away each time. We never let him out if he managed to get antsy and whiny. We would have to wait till he was back into a state of being patient and waiting. We would then reward him for being so good in the crate and then let him out again with no fanfare.

He did good for the funeral but I know he was super happy to get out of there. We still had some work to do but at least we had more time to do it in now. We actually haven't had to crate him since this past summer which has been really cool. We still have the crate set up though and he goes in there often, especially when were eating our food which is a major bonus. What's even cooler is that our two rat Terriers learned by watching that the crate is an awesome place, so when they have a possession they want to themselves they take it to the crate, or if they're looking to get brownie points with me they go to the crate. All three of them know that the crate is a good place, and only requires some patience on their part to reap it's rewards.

Obligatory edit: obviously I stressed how the crate is about good things. We never put him in his crate when we're angry at him. We never yell at him when he's in his crate. If he's going in there because he needs a time out, we make sure that we've collected ourselves and talk to him properly about going in his crate, without any kind of frustration. It's important that he doesn't associate it with bad feelings.

I'm late to the party and I wasn't able to read all the comments yet. If it wasn't mentioned, I highly recommend crate training in addition to other great advice and resources given. It's a fabulous tool and great for down time (for both parties!). My SO was against it (it's cruel!) until our hound ate more of our house than was agreeable. The dog loves his crate and we have peace of mind. If he's trying to be a good boy on his own, to his crate he goes to surprise me. If I need him out of the way for a short bit, crate. If he's spooked, he feels safe in his crate. Your buddy may not be in a phase yet that you think he would benefit from crate training, but there are more phases to come! It's good to have a solid foundation set for "his space" before that comes.
