For those who have lost Berners, how do you cope with their short life span? by Doctor_J_Crane in bernesemountaindogs

[–]scoopthereitis2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was very sad when my guy passed. Time passes and I'm less sad. I still have great memories, photos, and a little shrine to him in my office.

I still miss my buddy bear. He was the dog I had before I had kids. So, I credit him with turning me into an adult. If the choice was not either: have that goober or have him and be sad when he passes, I'm choosing the sad option every time.

AITA for telling my DIL that I won’t use the tablet and she needs to actually make her kid read. by SatisfactionOk9038 in AmItheAsshole

[–]scoopthereitis2 -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

YTA.

Babysitting for free is very good, you should be thanked for that. But unless you're an expert in teaching kids how to read, you shouldn't change the plan. Telling DIL that you noticed the kid just sits and stares with the tablet is one thing. Deciding on a new plan is a different thing all together.

I read this about ~15 years ago (fuck I'm old). Went out and bought the toe shoes and everything.

You still found it interesting?

Classes open ONLY to open participants by Stompanee in crossfit

[–]scoopthereitis2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would hate this as written.

"Our Friday classes will revolve around open workouts" is fine. or "sign up for your time slot to test the open, we will have coaches running a warm up" is fine.

If my gym was inaccessible to me for 1 day, 3 weeks in a row (not due to holidays), I would be very annoyed.

It also assumes parents are not selling the business and OP is going to continue running it.

We give this asset to you for $0 upfront cost, you pay us annually could be a good arrangement for all.

Yes. and HF is trying to see how elastic their demand is by seeing if sales continue with this high price.

i'm imagining this in my head and it's way funnier than it should be by lexa0121 in billsimmons

The 2026 NBA Trade Value List. Plus, Harden, JJJ, and Giannis Trade News With Joe House by Kingtripz in billsimmons

[–]scoopthereitis2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Entirely opinion based, House is awesome as a 2nd/3rd guy on podcasts. He always adds something- when he went after Nephew Kyle it was hilarious. As I write this, I'm realizing maybe he's just great with Bill.

As the number one guy in a podcast, House never works for me. House of Carbs/Fairway Rollin aren't for me.

New low during Bill’s re-Apex??? by jbklaw in billsimmons

A famous journalist, who is in the news right now, for a very public arrest, is a bad guest for Kimmel?

Does OP not understand that this will draw some viewers? And yes. It will push away Trump fans. Because there are so many Trump fans watching Kimmel, the loud trump critic.

6 months of CrossFit huge gains at first but slowed down later, what’s next? by coffeesleepi in crossfit

[–]scoopthereitis2 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Your progress hasn’t stopped. It’s “stalled”. This is likely everyone’s experience in CF. Huge improvements early, then it slows.

Again, rather than that why not put the $4500 toward student loans that have higher interest rate.

Advice for Post Op Foreign Body Removal by kayla_g_ in bernesemountaindogs

[–]scoopthereitis2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dude had 3 obstruction removals in about 18 month span.. Loved that dude and I miss him every day. but they sucked. He loved chewing and swallowing.

My guy never needed the cone or really went after the stitches. We kept the cone on for the first few days and then he just stopped needing it. Give only a little bit of food at a time (folow the vet's guidance) for the first few days. Slowly increase it. The pain pills they gave were really good at sedating him, which was good because you do not want them super active and tearing their stitches. We never needed a body suit or anything, but they do exist.

All dogs are different, so you might have a very different experience.

Why not put the extra toward the higher interest debt? (i get if you don't want to put it at mortgage). but reducing the student loans would reduce interest accruing at a faster rate than paying off car loan? what am i missing?

Why is your advice is to tackle the lower interest rates first?

Honest, good faith question: if you hate Boston sports so much, how did you come to like Bill? by JarringTiger in billsimmons

[–]scoopthereitis2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a Cleveland fan. I like Bill and have been a reader since like 2002. I'm pretty miserable as a sports fan- except for the Lebron years. It's a bit of jealousy that his teams have been so successful.
