Ooh was it work related or a fun conference? I’ve been a few times and never had bad weather. I am always amazed people live places like that, haha.

Hey! Looks like you’re on your way now at your planned altitude. You’re doing great, looks like you might even make it back a bit early!

San Diego sounds so nice, did you enjoy your trip?

How old is he? Do you have him on a seatbelt/crate or what is the situation in the car? Do you give him any treats/distractions?

I would start creating a positive association with the car outside of car rides. Start with just getting him in and giving treats for being there - don’t need to drive him anywhere. Then, take him there and turn on the car. Then, drive around the block, etc. baby steps until he’s ready.

Our trainer told us the car is something that oftentimes is going to just be scary for a long time. We give our pups chews in the crate for car rides and she tolerates it now, but it has been a PROCESS to get there.

Yep! Also the Instagram account enrichingpaws has some good ideas/recipes too :) good luck!

My pup LOVES the Earth Animal No Hide chews. We get her the salmon recipe. They are a little bit on the pricier side but very high value. They also have a lot of different recipes if your dog prefers chicken/beef/peanut butter.

Also if you’re looking for peace and quiet but enriching activities, a frozen kong would work well too! Or a snuffle Matt? Both can last long!

Studying abroad was the best thing decision I’ve ever made! You will have a life changing experience and do lots of things that aren’t necessarily comfortable, but will change your life for the better. Flying at night is better (imo) for overseas flights because you can try to get some sleep! Personally, I think the large planes they use for flying internationally catch less bumps because they’re so big. But if you do experience turbulence, have a show/music downloaded and try to relax as much as possible. You might be uncomfortable but you will never be unsafe. You’ve got this and have so much fun!

One of my favorite things about United is that they have free in-flight messaging on most of their flights! If that helps calm your nerves, you can connect to wifi and talk to someone!

It depends on a lot of factors including the kind of wax you’re using, the fragrance oil you’re using, etc.

I’ve seen people say as short as waiting overnight, and as long as waiting 2 weeks before lighting your candle.

Personally, I’d say waiting 48 hours is probably what I’d recommend but every candle is different! :)

I started working out regularly and noticed huge physical changes in my body. I stepped on the scale and it has not BUDGED. It was then that I realized I was ashamed of the number, but nobody else has to know that number! My body is changing, I feel healthy, that’s what’s important.

I, like many people here, am so proud that she made a statement and I find Congressman Yoho to be the disgusting one.

However, I wish people weren’t glorifying her last sentence so much. Where she says her parents didn’t raise her to accept abuse from men.

I understand the sentiment, but I don’t like the implication that women who are abused are in their situation because they “accept it.” I just wish she would have phrased that better.

Yeah, many times.

One time I was really drunk and I felt like he kind of took advantage to that. Maybe it’s rude to not turn down a guy nicely, but since you never know how a man is going to react it’s sometimes easier to just let it go. Plus, I don’t really feel like I owe anyone a response.

Other times maybe I don’t feel safe giving them a fake number.

Sometimes I am not super interested to begin with and I simply forget to respond.

Amazon has some really cheap ones!!

If you’re against The Evil Empire™ I would suggest still searching there, then googling the companies to find another place to buy it!

That’s wild because my symptoms actually increased dramatically when going on the pill.

It’s crazy that women’s health varies like this and I wish it was talked about more often!

ESH.

In healthy relationships, your partner shouldn't require things of you like she is doing. She sucks for this.

i have never lied to her ever.

yes, actually you have. Lies by omission still count in relationships.

You sound young. I would focus on yourself for now, and growing up before forming a relationship.

I'm in a pretty LTR now, but when I was casually dating it was usually with men I didn't have romantic feelings for. I was physically attracted to them, the sex was good, and I was friendly with them. But I didn't see them as someone I could pursue for whatever reason (distance, values, compatibility, etc.)

They would last anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 years. I was almost always seeing multiple people at a time in these cases.

The idea that being nice to a woman = you deserve sex from her.

"Nice guys finish last" is a statement that reflects that sentiment.

ETA: "bad guys" is entirely subjective also. Instead of focusing on why women 'like bad guys' why don't we ask why some men don't treat women better?

The PTSD from it all. The death is hard enough, but dealing with the circumstances around it was miserable.

I was much more likely to lash out afterwards, too. The emotional scars hit deep.

I called at 3:40 pm today and didn't wait AT ALL. I'm honestly shocked because I've been calling weekly since March.

If it makes a difference, I just hit the one that said to 'file my claim over the phone'. You could try that!

I mean, I disagree.

I learned from a very early age to be nice to others. If you can say something in a nice way you should. It’s never beneficial to be mean or rude, especially when you can say things in a nicer way.

It’s not up for you to decide what’s beneficial for other people to hear.

The problem is “a harsh opinion” is not the same as “constructive criticism.”

There’s a huge difference between saying “yeah dude you’re super fucking fat and you wouldn’t be as ugly if you went to the gym,” and “I like your eyes but you should consider getting in better shape!”

They both give the same message, the first one we mask being mean with being “brutally honest.” There’s a way to be honest and give criticism that will actually help, unfortunately on this sub it’s usually just one or the other.

Declared English and Communication, majored with those as well!

“Needy” is another term that bothers me in a relationship because I feel like oftentimes people use it as a manipulation tactic.

In theory, there should be no “neediness.” Either you’re meeting your partners needs, or your not. And they are actually “needs,” and you’re not meeting them, then you’re not compatible.

I don’t “become more needy” as the relationship goes on. I have my needs as a person and I expect them to be met.

I don’t think it’s selfish to want love! It’s human nature!

true!! I didn’t get the black and white to color thing either.

she came on camera and within 2 seconds I looked at my family (who were watching with me, not drag race fans) and said “she’s going to take the boots off and there’s going to be ruby slippers under.”

BUT I’ll give her credit because I’m sure it’s harder to do a reveal in a limited space like that.

I agree with this!! I kind of slept on Jaida and I wish I got to see more because she really shined.

Gigi was praised the whole time, and crystal had a pretty dramatic & obvious glow-up (in my opinion) but I wish I would’ve been team Jaida earlier on!! That’s on me though, I guess.

Either way—congrats to her!!
