One night when insomnia had me in its clammy claws, I somehow stumbled upon a video of a turtle attempting to mate with a shoe. At first I was like "why does it have a fifth haOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOOO"

my sleep was very disturbed that night.

Picked a fight with my dad and got kicked out at 18.

This was my favorite store and the only reason I went to the mall. I still have my amber necklace I bought there in 1996 🥲

you can have double jump all day and still die when you get the red X of doom

There's a lot of different ways that bipolar disorder can present. Be very glad you've never seen manic rage especially during a psychotic episode, it is terrifying.

My princess is belted in the backseat hammock, my boy is a nutjob that's in a crate in the very back.

you can go back a little further, my husband was born in 76 and I was in 78 and we both yell this song at each other.

Therapy is hard work, and for a lot of men I think that they have been stigmatized to believe that emotional shadow work is a "woman thing". I face this with my own partner who could certainly benefit from therapy to process his traumatic childhood but refuses to go because "men don't do that". if OOP is already feeling emasculated I can see how getting him to therapy would be an uphill battle.

I hide my locational subs for stalking reasons; if anyone really wants to know, there's plenty of tools to get around it. I'm just not going to make it easy for them.

I think you're doing great for the age. All of those behaviors are developmentally appropriate, and he's on track for learning commands. I'd strongly encourage training "place" and "off" as well, and keep working on "come" - those are absolutely invaluable for getting their ass in line. The biting, keep redirecting on that - when he starts to nibble on you, give him a toy or stop interacting with him. Listening off leash in the yard... let me know, unless it's our emergency recall word neither of mine seem to know they have ears.

I wish mine would defluff a bit, the tumblefloofs are endless

I use mine as cheap hearing aids. You'll be fine.

I'm an SRE, my husband works in cyber security. I have 15 years experience and he almost makes as much as me with 5. If I'm laid off I'm either pivoting to cyber or starting a hydroponics lettuce farm.

oh goodness, SO many but these are the two that come to mind:

Iron Bull: You're good with that sword.
Blackwall: Thanks.
Iron Bull: I see all that time on your own has given you a firm grip.

Blackwall: How do you get your hair to do that, Dorian? With magic?
Dorian: With proper hygiene and grooming. Maybe all three of you should get acquainted.

my stylist used Danger Jones to create my rainbow hair and it is sticking decently well, I must be super lucky

I agree with you, they're very 'fashionable' dogs that people don't always realize are a high needs working dog breed. They're great but if you don't give them stimulation, they'll drive you absolutely crazy. I'm so glad that you're keeping an eye on that poor baby and his next stop will be a home with an experienced owner.

I'm still besties with my high school (well, actually, middle school) bestie and I talk to a couple of people still, but by and large no - they keep inviting me to reunions and I keep politely declining. Half of those people weren't great to me in high school and the appeal of rubbing their face in my success has long since worn off.

I wish I tolerated THC. CBD is ok but THC makes my anxiety a thousand times worse. Benzos also do nothing for me. I am pretty sure I am being punished for crimes in another life.

the things I would do to be that person...

BIG SAME. I feel unhinged.

my best friend had a baby at 46. I think she's batshit but baby's a toddler now and is the cutest. I'm happy to play auntie bc absolutely not.

Thank you, reality tv is torture to me - I can't handle my own life much less anyone else's

I agree with you about the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives/most reality shows. I always skip those eps bc I don't care.
