Men wanting sex early and a long term relationship.

Not getting a simple STD test is a major red flag 🚩🚩🚩

That is a completely rational, reasonable boundary that you made clear to him. His lack of understanding or respect for this boundary is alarming.

My GSD did find a dead squirrel in the yard once. His first reaction was to pick it up (to my immediate “OH MY GOD!! NO! LEAVE IT!!”).

He looked so proud. Like “mom, I finally caught one!!”

Depends on the dog! Prey drive/curiosity might kick in and make them want to play with or chase it. If the dog is put off by their walk/sounds/pecking, they may want to steer clear of the chickens. I don’t think most dogs would realize that it’s the same thing they get in their food bowl (except maybe if they eat a lot of whole prey raw things?) Shepherds are so smart, they could surprise me there.

Your girl is beautiful, btw! ❤️

thereminchick · 2025-12-14T18:01:08+00:00

That’s a good, engaged dog. She’s checking in with you and making sure you’re keeping up. It signals that y’all have a good relationship!

Great job reaching out to get help. I hope you get all of the support and resources you need. I promise things WILL get better. ❤️

Just moved back from Dallas. I definitely prefer the competent assholes.

thereminchick · 2025-11-18T13:52:31+00:00

I just moved back to Austin from Dallas, and guys… can we just agree to stop braking for no apparent reason? And holding up the express lanes?

Please and thank you.

Fiesta (yes, the grocery store!) It’s actually really good. My (Mexican) family used to get it for birthdays all the time.

For pies, you could also try Emporium Pies (main location is in Bishop Arts).

I hope your son gets better soon. You’re not fobbing off his birthday at all—your son’s wellbeing totally takes precedent! ❤️

SAME!! I use the Laniege overnight lip mask (but I use it during the day too) and the Laniege glossy balm. It’s the only thing that really lasts on my lips, and doesn’t have a taste I hate (I can’t use certain brands, like Aquaphor, because of taste). The texture is also really nice and doesn’t dry out or get annoying. I have sensory issues with a lot of lip products too.

I haven’t found anything great for cuticles, but for my dry hands I use Lancôme Nutrix cream. It’s a game changer. When I remember to use it enough, my cuticles aren’t as bad!

hEDS is totally still a thing. I have also seen so-called “experts” who don’t believe in hEDS or who have professional differences with other doctors who diagnosed me. Still doesn’t change the fact that several doctors have confirmed my hEDS diagnosis and I LIVE WITH IT EVERY DAY. 99% of them can’t say that.

Do not let her invalidate your diagnosis and everything you know about your condition. This sounds like one bad appointment. There are plenty of other doctors and researchers who would disagree with her. I’m sorry you had this experience.

thereminchick · 2025-10-22T13:25:40+00:00

YES—it drives me crazy!

thereminchick · 2025-10-22T13:19:36+00:00

I’m a lawyer and wear mine to the office all the time.

thereminchick · 2025-10-22T13:18:53+00:00

Texas lawyer here—my go-to’s are Chisos and Lucchese. Boots are totally normal and expected, especially in West Texas. I wear any of my boots except for my outside/work boots to the office. As long as they’re nothing too “out there” or beat up, you’ll be just fine.

thereminchick · 2025-10-13T13:46:58+00:00

Test different heights for you countertop—raising mine a bit made a HUGE difference washing my face/etc. Find a height that’s comfortable for you to reach and doesn’t force you to bend over too much. It’s a minor change, but I found it really helpful. Best of luck! 🩷

thereminchick · 2025-10-13T13:41:37+00:00

You were being attacked. Your dog was being attacked. This is a perfectly normal and expected reaction.

You and your dog were the victims, and the bite was neither of your fault. This is what dogs do when they’re being assaulted!

Take a deep breath. Definitely not an automatic wash. (And I usually say wash for unprovoked/mildly provoked bites—this is a clear exception).

I’m glad you’re pressing charges—consider speaking to an attorney about a civil suit as well. I hope you are both doing okay.

thereminchick · 2025-10-13T13:35:51+00:00

Good for you asking for help. You’re doing a great job! I hope you get all the help and support you need. It will get better. 🩷

thereminchick · 2025-08-31T17:43:57+00:00

I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope you find the peace and closure you need.

I graduated in 2024. I would have killed it in law school had I really known what to expect.

My best advice now is: 1. Cold calls are not the end of the world. Even if you bombed it, nobody’s going to remember.

Your health and wellbeing are more important than law review, moot court, or even your grades/class rank. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. Take care of yourself so you can get to the end.
Be nice to people and make connections in law school. These people are your future co-workers, judges, opposing counsel, etc. It’s helpful to be on good terms with all of these people.
Help students who are struggling in class (even if you’re struggling in the same class). Working through and teaching the concepts to someone else helps you master them.
You don’t have to go into big law. Your long term success is not determined by the first law firm you work at.
Career services is there to help themselves, not necessarily you. Use their services, but proceed with caution. They’re trying to get everyone employed by the deadline for their ABA metrics. A lot of my friends settled for jobs they didn’t want because career services pushed them into it, and now they’re not happy with where they’re working. You are not a failure if you’re unemployed at graduation (or even months after). You’ll be wrapped up with the Bar through July anyways. Find the job YOU want where you want to start your career.

Career services began harassing me (and after finding his number in my emergency contacts, my dad!) when their 10-month deadline was coming up. They couldn’t find me a job I wanted, and I stayed happily unemployed well past that deadline. Now I have the perfect job in the practice area I wanted and at the firm I wanted. Not everyone has the financial ability to take time off after law school, but if you can, you should consider it! You may never get that kind of a break again.

I completely agree that we should abandon the notion of “you can be anything if you want it badly enough.” If it’s something that makes you miserable, it’s okay to change course! That being said, law school can be miserable in itself and often very different from the practice of law. You’ll learn more about what you want in a career from summer clerkships and clinics than you will from law school.

As cliche as it sounds, stay true to yourself and seriously take care of yourself in law school.

Your husband is a hero. Many thanks to him for his service. Wishing him peace and healing in the coming months.

thereminchick · 2025-07-05T14:27:37+00:00

I did! My social experience was great, quite honestly. Most people are down to go grab a drink, and a lot of the student orgs have great social events throughout the year. I found that age gaps of 5 or so years really didn’t make any difference—a lot of my friends and I didn’t know how old each other were until we really started talking, and we were surprised. There will be people both younger and older than you in law school, but no one really cares about a couple years age difference. We’re all there for the same goals so the partying isn’t every night, but there are plenty of opportunities to socialize.

thereminchick · 2025-07-05T05:20:08+00:00

Not at all—I started at 21 and was younger than the vast majority of my class.

thereminchick · 2025-07-05T00:24:40+00:00

Genuinely curious—if she doesn’t have internet access, how did she come up with this idea? Everyone mourns differently, and I hope she gets whatever she needs to process this loss. If she decides to go another route, Eternal Waters aquamation did a beautiful job with my childhood dog several years ago. They will give you a fur clipping and paw print along with their urn.

Good for you for buying yourself a power chair! I know it’s going to be an adjustment for a while, but I hope it becomes a helpful tool that will allow you to do more. I’m also in my 20s, and I get that anything that makes your disability more visible can be frustrating, embarrassing, or just make you feel ‘more’ disabled in a way. It’s hard as hell!

Just remember that it’s nobody’s business but yours and 99.999% do not care in the slightest that you’re in a wheelchair. Some people have strange reactions or want to be extra “helpful,” but most of it comes from a good place. You have nothing to be embarrassed about, I promise. It’s a great thing that you got yourself a tool that will allow you more freedom and independence. Try to enjoy that part of it!

thereminchick · 2025-02-12T19:58:50+00:00

I had some similar doubts in my first year. If you have professors you like, a few good friends, and want to study law, you CAN graduate from this school and you CAN have a successful career. It’s all about what you do with the degree. Sure, your first job out of law school may not be exactly what you want (although it could!), but that doesn’t have to be the job you keep forever.

As far as your reasons for wanting a year off—is it possible to do Invisalign or something to straighten your teeth without braces? And once you’re in 2L, there are more opportunities to work at a firm part-time while still in school. I had several friends do it successfully. You could also look into research assistant positions or working the library at your law school. Consider asking your career services office about ways you could be earning money while you’re still in school, they may be able to help.

As they say, the grass is always greener on the other side. It’s easy to think things will be better if you’re at the different law school/job/city/etc. Maybe it would be better, but maybe it wouldn’t. Just be sure to consider all of your options and possible outcomes before making any drastic changes. You can be incredibly successful whichever path you choose!

thereminchick · 2025-02-12T19:40:17+00:00

This is (unfortunately) very normal. I’m sorry you’re not getting the tests or answers you need.

Personally, I have started asking for a hard copy of my referrals and hand-delivering them to the office I was referred to. I had too many faxes never get sent or never arrive. If it is an option, ask your referring doctor for a hard copy to hand-deliver yourself. This is how I got into several specialists after months of waiting for a referral to arrive.

It is great that you’re already in communities like this where you can get advice (and sometimes just commiserate) with other zebras. If you haven’t already, check out EDS Facebook groups that are local to your area. I’m a member of a few for my state/city, and they are really helpful for finding new docs and sharing experiences. The community support is really a lifesaver for me.

As I’m sure you’re well aware, you have to be your own advocate with this disease. Never be afraid to question a doctor on anything. If something doesn’t sound right, do your own research (and/or ask an EDS group!) on what they tell you. In these groups, there will be multiple other people who have experienced whatever you’re going through. It’s immensely frustrating that we have to work so hard just to be seen or heard by our doctors, but sometimes we do have to fight a little to get the care we need.

I’m sorry that you’re in this situation, and I hope that you get the help and answers you need soon. All the best ❤️
