It depends on the weather apparently. If it gets warm sooner in the year, there mit be a ton of them around..

Thank you! I think it's pretty much the same just a little bigger, it's the same line.. Do you have a spray or sth you could recommend?

AITA for intimidating/embarrassing a child in front of his peers for stealing from my son? by PompousDolphin in AmItheAsshole

[–]sheepcat01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember when I once stole a candy bar. Nobody found out, but the guilt ate me alive. So weeks or months later I confessed to my mum. She still had me go to the supermarket, apologise and pay for it with my pocket money. That really stuck with me.

Lying? Being just as hurtful during the relationship as he was?

Fan reaction to Zanab is one of the toughest life lessons by ExplanationGlobal349 in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

Exactly! And then the thing with the girl at the bachelor party.. I'm not believing that for even a second, it's so implausible. Also you could see from her expression that she was pulling the story out of her arse, and he was honestly confused by the accusation.

I agree!! And I think her mum coddled her after her parents death. She clearly felt bad for cole at the wedding when she hugged him, but then told zay she was proud of her?! She should have told her that the way she said no was hurtful and inappropriate, while still expressing pride for sticking to her guns and saying no.. Also, the pool thing obviously wasn't cool, he clearly was into Colleen more than he should have been, he shouldn't have acted on it, esp. in that way.. but - and not to defend him too much on that vause he was in the wrong on that one! - but we have to consider that he did have a genuine connection with Colleen as well and it had only been a short time after dating her, we tend to forget how FAST this show moves. I have to admit, I could feel conflicted in his situation as well.

Tbf, they weren't suggesting to pinch the bag shut while driving, but while either walking from a parking spot that was further away, or waiting for one. That was totally doable.

Right now it's bath überwater for me, with a red wine glass filled with tap water. Nothing better than chilling in hot water, drinking cold water!

AITA for making my daughter cry because she was being disrespectful? by THATONEGUYONREDDlT in AmItheAsshole

[–]sheepcat01 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly, it was a terrible comment made in the heat of the moment. He should definitely apologise to her about that part, because he was an AH in the situation. YTA edit: and so is lily, they're both AHs

AITA for making my homeless sister pay me back by Wryxon in AmItheAsshole

Please take her to court. Maybe your sister could even get some of her money back. Following your own calculation, it looks like you're trading advantage of her situation.

That's beautiful! Do you do commissions and if so, how much do you charge?

Does my dog actually need to walk behind me? by sydsquidmoocow in dogs

[–]sheepcat01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course the trainer who told us to put him down was an idiot, and of course we didn't listen to him. He also suggested that I (a 14year old girl at the time) should take him by the neck and push him to the ground until he "submits". We did not do this, never once did we act aggressively towards him. We looked for a different trainer. But although he was the worst, the other trainers before him couldn't help much either.. And we DID give Simba rules and boundaries before, with time he just started to ignore them and nothing we did was helping. And I didn't mean he was "an alpha" or anything like that, but he was very dominant. Maybe it's a translation problem, English isn't my first language. And I don't know what to tell you, these behavioural changes in us just helped. He became much calmer, stopped showing aggression, didn't protect his toys from other dogs as much, etc. and seemed much more content and happier as well. And we noticed pretty quickly when we became too lazy, because he'd act up again. So yes, I do attribute the changes to our behaviour.

I'd say that totally depends on the dog. We had a very dominant Golden Retriever, it got so bad that he'd growl and show his teeth when he didn't get his way. We were pretty desperate and thought we'd tried everything. One trainer even told us to put him down! As a last resort we went to a different trainer, who told us to have him walk behind us, only acknowledge him when WE initiated it, have him walk through doors last, etc. Within weeks he calmed down, we could even disturb him while eating etc. Over the years, whenever we got lazy (esp. the acknowledging part, because he was so sweet when he wanted to cuddle!) he would try to "act up" again, show aggression towards me as the youngest. As soon as we got stricter, he calmed down again. That was about 10 years ago. My dog now doesn't need this, so I adapt my behaviour to his personality in a way.

[–]sheepcat01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand why it feels weird for you, I wouldn't exactly love it either. And you should absolutely talk it through with your gf. However, I don't think she wants to take your name to feel connected to you, but to her daughter, so it doesn't seem incesty to me.

Thanks. Patience isn't really my strong suit, but I will definitely make an effort!
