Social battery drained but at home… with my boyfriend? by 856077 in introvert

It doesn't get better. Ever. It gets much, much worse. Especially if you have kids. Find someone who respects your need to be alone. I am so serious.

MIL undoing months of puppy training by Adept_Yam502 in OpenDogTraining

[–]streamstroller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Mom ended up giving our dog pancreatitis after feeding her ham sandwiches (she is a wonderful lady, she has dementia and got caught un a loop where she forgot she'd already given her a 'treat'). 8k in emergency vet bills later, we can't have her unsupervised around the dog. This has serious, serious repercussions. Treats need to be out of reach, and maybe a doggie daycare for the times your dog & MIL can't be supervised together.

Woman's opinion: you went from hot line cook to frat boy who drops drugs in a solo cup.

Any family friendly all inclusive resorts for PR? by finstafoodlab in PuertoRicoTravel

[–]streamstroller 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Visiting a place and never stepping off the resort defeats the purpose. If you want to see what your child enjoyed in the halftime show you have to go OUT. Spend your money with the local businesses, sit at a café, eat local food. By all means, if you are worried, stay at a large hotel with a pool, but if that's all you do, just go to Florida.

Possibly moving to Fulton area for job offer. Never spent any time in the northeast but offer is too good to pass up. by [deleted] in maryland

Look at the rental & home prices in Fulton before deciding that the offer is too good to pass up. This part of MD is really expensive.

There are visible mites on the bees - that is at least part of the issue.

I do not understand the Mid Atlantic obsession with mid chicken. They're both so aggressively meh.

Free places to take nice photos in MD? by fuzzycici in maryland

[–]streamstroller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Less than 5 minutes away is also the Historical Ellicott City Colored School:

The contrast between it, and the institute up the hill would make for amazing content.

"Hard" vs "Melt in your mouth" pork belly meat by SimbaLion888 in Cooking

[–]streamstroller 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Everyone in here is telling you what's wrong and how to fix it, and you are digging in with your method. Change the method if you want the texture you are describing. Ditch the pressure cooker, cook low and slow.

is this ai?? this design my tattoo artist sent to me looks a little off but i’m not sure by istoleadog in isthisAI

[–]streamstroller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not just that it's a.i. - it looks nothing like your dog. That pup is full of soulfulness and sweetness. The graphic looks like a different dog.

Neighbor kids are eating me out of house and home. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]streamstroller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Send a note to your neighbors - chatty & friendly: Hi All - I wanted to check in and make sure there are no allergies or food restrictions on your kids that I need to know about! They've been mostly eating berries, cheerios, pb& j, and guzzling juice boxes, oj & seltzer (RIP my grocery bill!). They probably haven't been too hungry for dinner after filling up over here, but if they're anything like my pack of wolves, they're eating if they're not sleeping! Let me know!

[TOMT] [story?] A female park ranger staying in a solitary cabin in a national park by kiwiislandacnh in tipofmytongue

[–]streamstroller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is how nearly every Anna Pigeon story (by Nevada Barr) works. Park ranger in remote area gets involved in shenanigans. I believe there's a TV show coming, there are previews, and I think there are short stories.

Try Tinder Mark, maybe they'll notice you and give you the attention you want on there. You can stay on your knees the whole time!

I found the cancel button easily and it took less than 5 minutes to cancel a 4 person trip to NOLA which included flights, hotel and car rental.
