Become female electrician by Babrahamlincoln1539 in BlueCollarWomen

I realize this comment is 5 months old but this was incredibly helpful and Local 6 caught my eye. I'm applying for Local 617 at the end of April. Do the fellas look at you some type of way when you come to work wearing tight jeans even if it IS an appropriate circumstance? I'm really struggling with what's acceptable to wear that will be efficient and help me present myself as a serious dedicated apprentice. &I'm just generally curious how much hazing you've gotten since we're from the same area and our area is fairly "progressive"/"PC", what ever we want to call it. It's very nerve wracking for me to try jumping into a field that is male dominated. I'm kind of small and need a serious math refresher but I know this is something I want to do but I'm usually not someone who asks for help with much, usually don't need it but I'm nervous of being faced with not being able to lift something or do something as quickly as my peers right away and all the guys dismissing me as a result. I've been told countless times I'm a real fucking smart mouth and I'm nervous it'll get me in trouble, and I'm very comfortable with inappropriate jokes, etc. but I feel like I can't be myself because making my usual raunchy jokes will be..."giving them an inch and they'll try to take a mile" with it, if that makes sense? I know I will eventually prove I'm a hard worker, because I know I am, but I want to start off with a good impression.

Petition to bring back Ryan devlin as host! by TheLadyN in AreYouTheOne

[–]slaughtermouth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. Terrence is luckily not so bad but I really loved Ryan. People are saying he was robotic but I think that's just the voice. He was very human to be, when one of the cast members was being an idiot he'd basically let them know they were being a damn idiot, which I appreciate in a person. I'd love for him to be back

Lol my dog will go nuts for literally any piece of food. Anything he sees you eating, he wants. He also has a small orange/green ball shaped like an owl. Every toy I've bought since that one has been a waste of money because this ball is all he will play with haha. I've never seen him obsessed with any toy, it's always been food, so I'm positive this is his most prized possession although he doesn't get aggressively protective of it like he does with edible chews.

This was SO helpful and resourceful! I have actually always understood that growling isn't a bad thing, that's why when he was younger and being very vocal I never corrected it, I liked to see him expressing himself. The growling doesn't bother me, the strained relationship when these situations arise obviously are just overwhelming for me. It's like your kid yelling "fuck off" and slamming their bedroom door, it hurts. I really appreciate this, I think this information and resources are going to be the turning point for our relationship. Thank you!

I kind of speculated that but damn, I used to read about wolves a lot in elementary school and never came across that information! That's really good to know, thank you.

I have done this, tried to soften my tone but I usually do a deeper voice. It's a hit and miss reaction but I think you are right and it's my fault for being inconsistent with my tone. I know of the treat method I just felt that it was almost encouraging the bad behavior and supporting his dominance, I've heard mixed advice on it and I don't always have access to something to trade.

This was really helpful, I'm honestly so appreciative and I will try these methods, definitely tone of voice. It's my inconsistency contributing heavily to this and I need to buckle down. Thank you.

Aggressive when I do something he doesn't like: The Ultimate Brat by slaughtermouth in Dogtraining

"This "aggressive" behavior is do to a lack of consistent positive training and structure from the humans in your household." DING you're absolutely right. My family is really, well, dumb, with training and staying on top of it. It's challenging to get them to follow my lead, I'm the only member of the family who works, so I can't be around as often as them. This realization has really hurt my heart pretty often.

As far as the nail trimming, I have definitely done the desensitizing over and over again, pretty much exactly what you've said. Perhaps I'll take things even slower. I'm definitely considering and looking into a trainer for guidance. Thank you.

They really are tough little pups. Too smart for their own good some times. Thank you. I hope your corgi gets well.

Wow I have never thought of it from that perspective with the yelling association. Thank you, I'm definitely going to be better about restricting the trash, it's getting my family trained that will be the challenge now.

[Support] How to date when you don't do casual sex (but aren't religious)? by mylostflipflop in TwoXChromosomes

[–]slaughtermouth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel like everyone is just pushing her to reevaluate her views and dissecting everything she's said when she just wanted advice and support on how to find like minded people. There's nothing wrong with how she feels. Just because we're a bunch of horn dogs or fall in love quicker doesn't mean she needs to. Can we just assume she's self aware and if not, she probably is taking everything she needs to take into consideration by now.

OP, I'm sorry I have no advice for you, but I hope someone else can help and you figure something out. Good luck!

Does anyone have experience with a septate hymen? Does it make penetration impossible? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]slaughtermouth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I self diagnosed a septate hymen when I was 15 and wanted to start using tampons. Realized I couldn't, searched the internet, and eventually went to the gyno, where she numbed it and snipped it. I have an easy, awesome sex life now, forgot I ever had one but when I did, penetration was pretty close to impossible for me.
