2024.05.14 08:28 BlackSeranna On Brainwashing
So, since I grew up the way in which I did, I wasn’t completely socialized. Compared to some kids in my class, I was very social, but I digress.
As I aged, I found myself being more of an observer than a participant. Participating didn’t always work out for me because when I tried, I always screwed something up. I didn’t get the jokes, I couldn’t tell who was being serious (that definitely would have helped me as a young kid and teenager). It wasn’t until I met my spouse that I learned dry humor, and how to recognize it.
Being in the position of an observer has afforded me a lot of room for thought. Like, there was the time in college where my roommates and I were hosting a party. This giant of college kid was mad at his girlfriend - he was drunk and screaming at her (I think some other dude said hi to her).
The man had her pinned up against a wall, one hand on the wall to the left of her head, the other punching the wall to the right of her head.
I was yelling at him to back off, and I was going to insert myself in between them because, as a kid, that’s what I had needed but no one did it for me.
It would have been stupid but the guy made me furious. My boyfriend pulled me away and held me and said, “Wait until he calms down and kick him from the party.” Hey, it was the 1990’s, and I was young. He was young. He ended up being right.
I thought about that girl a lot - wondered if she ever dumped her brute of a boyfriend, or did she stay with him? Never found out.
Later on, I was put in an untenable position where a family member was about to up end their life over some woman - they were going to abandon their kids, their family, all of it.
I managed to get through that, but after all is said and done, and I look at the facts like they are playing cards laying on a green velvet-covered table, I saw how the woman brainwashed him.
1) she kept him from sleeping more than five hours a night;
2) she made up situations to where he was the only one who could solve it for her, such as she pretended like an old boyfriend was chasing her in a car and she needed my family member to keep her safe;
3) she isolated him from his kids;
4) she tried to get him to sign for her to get a new car, and she promised she’d pay for it but she couldn’t buy it unless he signed for it. (Fortunately, he didn’t).
5) she told him what to think. If he tried to think for himself, she wouldn’t leave him alone until he agreed with her. His family were the bad guys. He needed to see that.
5) finally, he was to replace his own kids with hers. He was expected to accept this new family in lieu of everyone he knew and used to love.
It’s a tall ask, you know. And yet, every year, you’ll hear or learn of someone who did go down that road and never came back. Or, they came back but there was no back to go back to.
My job, in dealing with this family member, was to pick up the pieces and deprogram them gently.
You think to yourself: “this wouldn’t happen to me because I’m way too smart. I make educated decisions.” But, near as I can tell, smart has nothing to do with it.
Brainwashing works on how open the subject is to modifying the way they think, and their need to be accepted in their new group. I guess it’s like training a dog: good stimulus equals a reward, bad behavior earns a punishment, either physical or mental.
The subject must also think that their previous way of thinking was sub-par. They must have a low opinion of their intelligence.
Of course, a lot of you guys and gals may already know how it works, or heard about it on a documentary.
It’s different to have a front row seat to, though. Really surreal.
Right now, I have a family member that I am not close to, he is being manipulated hard by his current girlfriend. I see all the signs of what she is doing, it ain’t my first rodeo.
I tell his daughter, “I will do what I can to help, but I can’t talk to him. He doesn’t like me. The only way he can be saved is you and your brother get together and see if you can get some physical distance to happen between this woman and your dad.”
So far - everything we’ve predicted has come true: she’s bled him dry, financially. He went from having a nest egg to selling off all his assets. He has signed on to buy property and vehicles with her. She made him lose his job.
What’s next? His daughter cares for him, but he wasn’t a model dad by a long shot.
So I don’t know what to do there.
And just recently, another family member washed up on my shores. This one is young.
The brainwashing in this case is mental and physical abuse.
In this case, I created a team of three people to work together to help this person see who they are really with.
My job is to create a safe zone for them. Another’s job is to be there and be the person all the secrets are told to. And the last person is supposed to be the persuader, the person who helps this family member stick to plans, to say what is expected without being pushy or negative, so that they don’t go back to the old life.
One of the people on the team said to me, “How are we all talking about this so calmly?” The subject of the conversation was sitting right there in the room. I said, “I know, it’s surreal. But this is how we have to do it. We are going to solve this.”
Delicately stepping, delicately stepping.
I think to myself, had I washed up on my mother’s shores with a problem like this, she would have kicked me back out and said, “Figure it out for yourself, I’m not going to help you. It’s your problem.”
I always knew I was on my own, and I can’t say I didn’t screw things up royally from time to time.
But, also, I know that had I had help, maybe things could have been better for me later. I’ll never know. I still don’t know the answer.
I choose to help. I choose to take my emotional side and shove it in the back, and then find out the chinks in the opponent’s armor.
He may have a lot going for him, but it is not my family member’s job to fix him, to make him a better person. He could be the most brilliant person in the world - but you can’t save some people from themselves. He is harmful, and nightmarish.
Battered person syndrome. It’s another form of brainwashing, where the woman/man doesn’t think they should leave, because there are all these good things about the partner that, if they could just change, would make them the perfect life partner.
I’m beginning to think it doesn’t matter if it is drugs, or being beaten and having Stockholm Syndrome - it’s all a form of brainwashing.
I’m lucky enough to have a good team to work with me.
I was thinking today, as I was still coughing and getting over this horrible sickness I’ve had for three weeks: I’m tired. I don’t want to deal with nonsense but I will because that’s what family does.
We are blessed, no matter what. I’m feeling lucky. I’m glad I’m here for it.
I know my mom would have handled it differently (she had to go through it herself). But, I don’t think life should be so fucking hard. If we work together we can do a job better. No one should have to go through these things alone.
You lift up the next generation so they can climb the mountain a little more. I just want people to get further than I did.

2024.05.14 08:26 LittleDonut14 My 4 month old puppy is pooping under bed.
I have a 4 month old puppy. She's very smart and picks up thinks quickly. She has been house broke since not even 3 months. She knows how to sit, stay, come, and even does things that I'm training her for as a service dog. Which is just weird that in the past 2 or 3 weeks she just started to poop under the bed. She can barely even get under the bed too, which is just weird. When I house broke her she was doing great. She would go by the door and bark once for a number 1 and bark twice for number 2. In the past weeks she has only ever barked once. I think in these weeks she has only barked twice 4 or 5 time in total. These few days she been in her custom made crate. (It's big without a top) She NEVER pees or poops in her crate. And every 3 to 4 hours I let her outside, but at night I let her out to get some training done and play time. (She loves playing with my kids.) She still is a pup. But without fail she will go under the bed and poop at least once or twice, one time she did it 3 times in one night. It kind of all started when our neighbors got a dog. I can't even tell you how many holes I had to fill and how many time she has come in very dirty. She gets a bath every week, so she's got used to baths, but it's getting harder when its 3 to 5 times a week. I have 2 kids, and I don't want the smell to stink up my whole house and the dirt to get everywhere. I don't understand what's going on. Is she just afraid of pooping outside cause of the neighbors dog? I thought that too, but she's very good with other dogs and the neighbors dog looks friendly and just wants to play. (Neighbors dog is a puppy as well, but is outside 24/7.) I can understand her trying to play with the neighbors pup and her getting dirty, but poop has to stop. I just don't understand. After all these years, I've never had this happen before. Please help!

2024.05.14 08:24 TheLotStore Exploring Opportunities for Land Sales Near Me
 | Exploring Opportunities for Land Sales Near Me submitted by TheLotStore to u/TheLotStore [link] [comments] If you're a landholder or investor aiming to explore opportunities for land sales in your vicinity, then this is the perfect place for you. The real estate market provides a broad array of options for land sales, and by grasping the current panorama and potential opportunities, you can make astute investments and optimize your returns. In this article, we'll delve into the various categories of land sales on offer, the crucial aspects to contemplate when evaluating land for sale, and the potential advantages and hazards linked with land investments. Whether you're keen on residential, commercial, agricultural, or recreational land, we'll furnish you with the facts you need to arrive at informed decisions and seize the opportunities in your local area. Understanding the Categories of Land Sales When it boils down to land sales, there are several diverse types of properties in which you can invest. Residential land encompasses parcels of land zoned for detached houses, condominiums, or townhouses. These properties are typically situated in suburban or urban areas and are frequently marketed for residential development. Commercial land, conversely, encompasses tracts of land zoned for commercial or industrial purposes. This type of land is commonly found in locales with high population densities or robust economic expansion. Commercial land spans from petite retail lots to extensive industrial expanses and can be employed for an array of uses, ranging from shopping centers and office buildings to production facilities and distribution centers. Agricultural land incorporates farms, ranches, and undeveloped land suitable for farming or livestock rearing. This type of land is characterized by its fertile soil, water accessibility, and proximity to markets. Agricultural land can be utilized for crop cultivation, livestock grazing, or even niche farming operations such as vineyards or orchards. Lastly, recreational land encompasses properties predominantly used for open-air activities like hunting, fishing, hiking, or camping. Recreational land can be found in rural or wilderness areas and frequently showcases natural amenities such as lakes, rivers, forests, or mountains. This type of land is sought after by outdoor enthusiasts and nature aficionados in search of a retreat from urban life's hustle and bustle. Assessing Land for Sale When scrutinizing land for sale, various crucial factors warrant consideration to gauge its potential value and suitability for your requirements. These factors encompass location, zoning regulations, access to utilities, environmental considerations, and market trends. Location stands as one of the most pivotal factors to ponder when evaluating land for sale. The appeal of a location can markedly affect the land's value and its potential for future development. Components such as proximity to major thoroughfares, public transit, schools, shopping centers, and other amenities can enhance a piece of land's allure to buyers and developers. Zoning regulations also hold paramount importance when appraising land for sale. Zoning ordinances stipulate the allowable usage of a piece of land and the types of structures permitted on it. Grasping the zoning regulations in a specific area is vital to ensure that the land you're eyeing aligns with your investment objectives and development plans. Access to utilities, such as water, electricity, and sewage systems, constitutes another crucial consideration when evaluating land for sale. The availability and cost of these indispensable services can notably influence the viability and expense of developing the land. It's imperative to contemplate the potential expenses and challenges linked with connecting the land to utilities when gauging its investment potential. Environmental considerations also wield substantial importance when evaluating land for sale. Factors like soil quality, topography, natural hazards, and ecological features can impact the land's suitability for development or agricultural purposes. It's imperative to conduct comprehensive due diligence and environmental assessments to spot any potential risks or constraints linked with the land. Lastly, comprehending market trends and demand dynamics in the area where the land is situated is indispensable for making enlightened investment decisions. By scrutinizing extant and projected land values, development activity, and demand catalysts, you can gauge the potential for future appreciation and identify viable investment prospects. Advantages and Risks of Land Investments Investing in land offers a plethora of potential advantages, but it also comes with its own set of risks. Understanding these advantages and risks is crucial for making prudent investment decisions and mitigating potential challenges. One of the principal advantages of investing in land is the potential for long-term appreciation. Land is a finite resource, and its value can appreciate over time as the demand for real estate escalates and the available land supply diminishes. By procuring land in strategic locales and retaining it for the long term, investors can reap the rewards of capital appreciation and amass wealth over time. Land investments also present flexibility and customization opportunities. Divergent from developed properties, raw land can be employed for a broad array of purposes, from constructing residential or commercial developments to engaging in agricultural or recreational pursuits. This flexibility empowers investors to tailor their land investments to their precise aims and adapt to evolving market conditions. Furthermore, land investments can furnish a shield against inflation and economic uncertainty. Land is regarded as a tangible asset capable of retaining its value over time, rendering it a potentially attractive investment option during periods of economic volatility or mounting inflation. By broadening their investment portfolios with land holdings, investors can safeguard their wealth and enhance their overall risk-adjusted returns. Nevertheless, investing in land also harbors certain risks of which investors should be cognizant. One of the key risks linked with land investments is the potential for illiquidity. Land generally constitutes a less fluid asset compared to stocks, bonds, or other financial instruments, and it may take longer to sell and realize a return on investment. Consequently, investors must be prepared to retain land for an extended duration and possess the financial wherewithal to weather potential downturns in the real estate market. Another risk of land investments is the potential for high carrying costs. Owning undeveloped land can entail ongoing expenses such as property taxes, maintenance costs, and financing outlays. It's critical for investors to carefully evaluate these carrying costs and contemplate their impact on the overall investment performance. Furthermore, land investments can be subject to regulatory and environmental risks. Alterations in zoning regulations,land use limitations, and environmental decrees can impact the potential evolution and worth of land possessions. Shareholders should carry out comprehensive investigation and seek lawful and environmental proficiency to minimize these hazards and ensure obedience with pertinent statutes and decrees.

2024.05.14 08:19 one_day_at_noon I (32F) am hurt my (34M) fiancé didn’t support me getting a couch and I can’t tell if it’s irrational to be upset about it or if he was in the right to be pissed?
TL:dr- my guy got upset at me for having to haul a sectional down 3 flights of stairs, even though I didn’t KNOW it was on the third floor, and I’m simply upset he was angry at me over something I didn’t know and made something I was so excited to get into an unpleasant experience
To preface I adore furniture. Not only did I use to sell furniture, my mother reupholstered furniture and I wanted to be an interior designer. One of my proudest achievements in my life was decorating my first apt in amazingly nice furniture pieces over 3 years while living in poverty. One of the saddest things was having to sell all the furniture. I pintrest furniture. I scroll Facebook marketplace for furniture as a pass-time and daydream. At one point in my life it was the MOST fun hobby ever to go on day long trips to travel to other states to pick up cool furniture I’d found there. So you could say furniture is a deep love of mine.
What’s troubled me is in the last 4 years we had to downsize ALL my furniture because moving into a VERY small living area. The sale of all the furniture went into our saving. His hobby is house plants- a much easier hobby to fit in a home. So about half our living space is dedicated to his hobby. I’ve been pretty miserable unable to decorate for 4 years, and I’ve been pretty open about this. We’ve also been saving for a house so while I don’t begrudge him spending a 100 or so a month on his hobby; there’s no room to justify me spending say 200 on an antique writing desk we can’t fit here.
About 4 months ago I found my dream bedroom suite. When I saw it was a dream I mean I’ve been looking for this EXACT furniture set every week for almost 8 years. I found it, for $400 for what’s around 8k worth of furniture- it was a 6hr drive and a headache to pick up. Without help to move it I missed out on the set. I was devastated. It was actually really upsetting because it’s something I knew I’d never find again in my price range. He reassured it me wasn’t a big deal and that I’d find it again. I won’t, I know, because I’ve been looking for that set for a decade. I explained to him that this was a passion and a great love of mine, it makes me feel at home in my space and expressed where I live. Relaxed. I explained how important decorating my home was to me and how glum I’ve been not being able to do it for years now. I asked him if next time we found a piece that worked in our budget if he would REALLY make an effort to help me get it because it was really important to me that he support my hobby the way I support his: I’ve learned about every hobby he has and listen in earnest, memorizing all the little things so I can talk to him about it. He likes to collect mugs- I made him a mug display, he likes to garden-I buy him exotic plants, he likes dinosaurs-I take the day off work to drive 2hrs both ways to pick up some rare dino collectibles. He says he will and I’m ecstatic, and begin talking about all the great adventures we’ll have collecting interesting pieces for our home.
One day he says the couch is old and hurts his back, he mentions it for about a month. I’m exstatic! Because it’s the only piece of furniture we have to sit on in our small home. I’m dedicated to finding us a really really nice one second hand, one he’ll like too, one that has back support, one we can cuddle on. I hunt for a week and he vetos several that he doesn’t like but I find a $2000 couch in good condition for 100. I’m so excited it’s actually in our budget, it’ll fit in our small space, it’s perfect! I feel accomplished, I feel motivated, I feel EXCITED to decorate the house. This is the most excited I’ve been to buy anything in YEARS. I’m giddy.
When we get there to pick up the couch we realize the sellers didn’t happen to mention it was on the third floor. It’s a sectional but lightweight. I specifically picked so we could arrange it in our tiny space to have lots of little spots to read. And I can tell instantly this is going to be a problem. He’s going to get upset. I’m so worried he’ll be upset I try to overly positively handle everything- and get injured several times just trying to get it over quick and simple. And arm of the couch slams me in the throat and my hand gets rammed into a wall blood bruising my thumb. He’s uncharacteristicly unconcerned I’m hurt. All the climbing makes us both sick and shaky, so I suggest we sit and wait to fill better in the Ac before driving home.
When we head back I become very aware he’s not talking to me. He’s angry. I already know it. I try to apologize, to make things better, to explain I didn’t know that it was on the third floor and wouldn’t have got it if I had. That it was just a great deal and worked great for what we needed and it was in our budget (it’s almost impossible to find anything in our budget) and that we wouldn’t have been able to get anything near as nice so cheaply, that I’m sorry I know it was more than what he signed up to help me with and if I had known I would have paid family to help move it or thought of something else. I know his annoyance is justified. he explains it to me and to his merit he does it calmly, but he’s still upset at me- not just for the stairs, but for the drive, and for getting a sectional to begin with when “all we needed” was a cheap small love seat, he doesn’t GET IT and he’s pissed
He tried to be nice about it but he’s miserable and mad at me and doesn’t at all get why I was excited over it. By the end I feel a bit choked up, and teary eyed. I’m not a crier but I suppose he must have seen me tearing up because he clarifies he wants to support my hobby but doesn’t get it.
Yes things went arry but I thought it was almost a funny mishap, it wasn’t too bad getting the piece, we saved thousands of dollars, it’s the only NICE piece in our house and I was so excited to impress him with it. That he was angry, that he wasn’t even worried I was hurt- just ripped through me. Getting that piece of furniture, the first piece of furniture we bought together for our first home together meant a lot to me. To try to show him I wanted us to have something nice together I moved our old ripped up couch out by myself, scrubbed cleaned and arranged the new furniture by myself and moved every piece of it I could by myself. I also cleaned and arrange the living so that he could comfortably sit and enjoy the new seating in a well organized clean space. I stayed up for hours doing it alone till my body ached. But he’s still upset with me and I’ve lost all the “happiness” I had to decorate with him, I just feel embarrassed and sad. I don’t think I’ll be able to ask him to go with me again to get a piece, I don’t think he’d want to. It all just got so bungled. I just feel…. Like it was a missed opportunity to laugh and make a good memory, now it’s a bad memory I think will stick around.
I had hoped we’d travel together getting new pieces and making new memories. Now I just know we never will.

To preface I adore furniture. Not only did I use to sell furniture, my mother reupholstered furniture and I wanted to be an interior designer. One of my proudest achievements in my life was decorating my first apt in amazingly nice furniture pieces over 3 years while living in poverty. One of the saddest things was having to sell all the furniture. I pintrest furniture. I scroll Facebook marketplace for furniture as a pass-time and daydream. At one point in my life it was the MOST fun hobby ever to go on day long trips to travel to other states to pick up cool furniture I’d found there. So you could say furniture is a deep love of mine.
What’s troubled me is in the last 4 years we had to downsize ALL my furniture because moving into a VERY small living area. The sale of all the furniture went into our saving. His hobby is house plants- a much easier hobby to fit in a home. So about half our living space is dedicated to his hobby. I’ve been pretty miserable unable to decorate for 4 years, and I’ve been pretty open about this. We’ve also been saving for a house so while I don’t begrudge him spending a 100 or so a month on his hobby; there’s no room to justify me spending say 200 on an antique writing desk we can’t fit here.
About 4 months ago I found my dream bedroom suite. When I saw it was a dream I mean I’ve been looking for this EXACT furniture set every week for almost 8 years. I found it, for $400 for what’s around 8k worth of furniture- it was a 6hr drive and a headache to pick up. Without help to move it I missed out on the set. I was devastated. It was actually really upsetting because it’s something I knew I’d never find again in my price range. He reassured it me wasn’t a big deal and that I’d find it again. I won’t, I know, because I’ve been looking for that set for a decade. I explained to him that this was a passion and a great love of mine, it makes me feel at home in my space and expressed where I live. Relaxed. I explained how important decorating my home was to me and how glum I’ve been not being able to do it for years now. I asked him if next time we found a piece that worked in our budget if he would REALLY make an effort to help me get it because it was really important to me that he support my hobby the way I support his: I’ve learned about every hobby he has and listen in earnest, memorizing all the little things so I can talk to him about it. He likes to collect mugs- I made him a mug display, he likes to garden-I buy him exotic plants, he likes dinosaurs-I take the day off work to drive 2hrs both ways to pick up some rare dino collectibles. He says he will and I’m ecstatic, and begin talking about all the great adventures we’ll have collecting interesting pieces for our home.
One day he says the couch is old and hurts his back, he mentions it for about a month. I’m exstatic! Because it’s the only piece of furniture we have to sit on in our small home. I’m dedicated to finding us a really really nice one second hand, one he’ll like too, one that has back support, one we can cuddle on. I hunt for a week and he vetos several that he doesn’t like but I find a $2000 couch in good condition for 100. I’m so excited it’s actually in our budget, it’ll fit in our small space, it’s perfect! I feel accomplished, I feel motivated, I feel EXCITED to decorate the house. This is the most excited I’ve been to buy anything in YEARS. I’m giddy.
When we get there to pick up the couch we realize the sellers didn’t happen to mention it was on the third floor. It’s a sectional but lightweight. I specifically picked so we could arrange it in our tiny space to have lots of little spots to read. And I can tell instantly this is going to be a problem. He’s going to get upset. I’m so worried he’ll be upset I try to overly positively handle everything- and get injured several times just trying to get it over quick and simple. And arm of the couch slams me in the throat and my hand gets rammed into a wall blood bruising my thumb. He’s uncharacteristicly unconcerned I’m hurt. All the climbing makes us both sick and shaky, so I suggest we sit and wait to fill better in the Ac before driving home.
When we head back I become very aware he’s not talking to me. He’s angry. I already know it. I try to apologize, to make things better, to explain I didn’t know that it was on the third floor and wouldn’t have got it if I had. That it was just a great deal and worked great for what we needed and it was in our budget (it’s almost impossible to find anything in our budget) and that we wouldn’t have been able to get anything near as nice so cheaply, that I’m sorry I know it was more than what he signed up to help me with and if I had known I would have paid family to help move it or thought of something else. I know his annoyance is justified. he explains it to me and to his merit he does it calmly, but he’s still upset at me- not just for the stairs, but for the drive, and for getting a sectional to begin with when “all we needed” was a cheap small love seat, he doesn’t GET IT and he’s pissed
He tried to be nice about it but he’s miserable and mad at me and doesn’t at all get why I was excited over it. By the end I feel a bit choked up, and teary eyed. I’m not a crier but I suppose he must have seen me tearing up because he clarifies he wants to support my hobby but doesn’t get it.
Yes things went arry but I thought it was almost a funny mishap, it wasn’t too bad getting the piece, we saved thousands of dollars, it’s the only NICE piece in our house and I was so excited to impress him with it. That he was angry, that he wasn’t even worried I was hurt- just ripped through me. Getting that piece of furniture, the first piece of furniture we bought together for our first home together meant a lot to me. To try to show him I wanted us to have something nice together I moved our old ripped up couch out by myself, scrubbed cleaned and arranged the new furniture by myself and moved every piece of it I could by myself. I also cleaned and arrange the living so that he could comfortably sit and enjoy the new seating in a well organized clean space. I stayed up for hours doing it alone till my body ached. But he’s still upset with me and I’ve lost all the “happiness” I had to decorate with him, I just feel embarrassed and sad.

2024.05.14 08:03 CulpableSnail It's odd but is it a scam?
Hi all, bit of an odd one.
I'm selling an expensive bit of kit (value citlrca £5K) via some specialist Facebook groups here in the UK. I have a buyer from an EU country, he's asked all the right questions, requested the right videos/checks etc.
He's flying into the UK, getting a train to my town, with a view to buying. He's sent me a pic of his ID, and I have seen the public details of his company where he is pictured. His Facebook profile also appears genuine.
The only oddity, if it is one, is he will come with a female friend who now lives in the UK and she will bank transfer the funds to me there and then if sale agreed. We did talk of an international bank transfer but that would take 5 days and I get not paying a huge sum in advance.
Is there a scam here? I can't see one and no alarm bells are ringing for me, it just feels odd.

2024.05.14 08:02 likemindedstars What happens to parents reported for fraud dole bludging
I am conflicted and need to know what happens to a parent reported to the NDIS and Centrelink for fraud. Do they get looked into? Arrested? Fined? I know using carers allowance for my brother on just herself is wrong but without a job she could start starving and neglecting us more.
Anyway since I was around 10 she had stopped working and refused, she neglected us and spent money on lavish food, jewellery, hair salon, nails other expenses with her sisters. This was on Centrelink but I unfortunately didn't have much proof as I was a kid. Then around 15 again she didn't work whilst I did and helped my dad. Apparently she wasn't paying the schools and to this day with my 10yr old brother, she still isn't paying school fees...her parents did the same.
She doesn't help my dad with mortgage, the worse expense, she does apparently help with electricity and water but it's been turned off many times I remember. The main issue now is with the NDIS money she bought a "service dog" for around $1200, lied to my dad it was free and that dog has torn up 2 doors and the backyard. He's costing more and she's not even fixing anything he broke. Saying he's a toddler and the doors were old anyway. After finding out the price me and my dad said since we can't afford it and repo may get involved, to sell him and honestly my mum hasn't trained him and hardly walks him (once a week) he's a big guard dog and she does show affection but ...I really don't think anything or anyone interests her. I believe she is not capable of loving or being selfless, she hasn't for many years, she's definitely mentally ill but she has been arrested for aggression issues by me and my sister before. She even records us and threatens to arrest us but atp as an adult I can't do much about it since no one really believes or cares, especially in our over policed area.

2024.05.14 07:53 oceanic109 Mini Dachshund compared to other small breeds size
 | Has anyone noticed how much stronger, stockier, and just all around beefier their tiny dachshund looks compared to other small breed of dog? My dachshund is only 10 pounds and usually shorter than most small breeds half her weight but she is incredibly beefy compared to them. Was walking my weeny one day and ran into a few chiuahuas and miniature pinchers, I thought my pup was so tiny in my mind due to her shortness but I couldn’t believe how frail compared to her the other dogs looked. Not only did she look more muscular but even her skull and bones looked far more robust and wide. I know they were originally bred for hunting and were actually incredibly agile and strong for their small sizes but she is the complete opposite of a hunter so I always thought she was pretty far removed from her ancestors. submitted by oceanic109 to Dachshund [link] [comments] I’m a dog groomer so I have seen many many many small dogs, the only small dog that have a similar frame with the same type of robustness I’ve noticed might be the miniature schnauzer, just much more taller. Beagles are supposed to be similar but I’ve noticed them to be more chunky rather than athletic. But that just might be the ones I’ve seen |
2024.05.14 07:51 ZomBwalker Love and Loyalty Eternal
 | My son celebrated his 11 th birthday last weekend . His uncle got him a new cell phone. A Samsung a53 . A fairly mid range phone but a pretty big step up from the kiddie phone his mom and I had gotten him when he was 8. So of course he ran around taking pictures of everyone at his party.some turned out good others were blurry, mainly because he cant hold still long enough to take the picture i pressumed..lol..but this one, .initially of his uncle and his dog Murphy caught my eye. The camera caught the wrinkles and the obvious tear in the couch he was sitting on. The same place they always sit when they come by . this battered and old but very comfy sofa sits in the family room for the kids and pets to abuse untill it falls apart... so Murphy would always wind up in there with the kids, usually in that spot like he was babysitting them, lol. My brother therefore never wanting to be far from Murphy ( a service and esa dog) would gravitate to this same spot . So the picture wasn't that unusual except for one thing. submitted by ZomBwalker to u/ZomBwalker [link] [comments] Murphy died in January .in fact It was the first time my brother had been to my house without him in over 14 years. Of course I've blown up and cropped the picture for privacy and because The original confused my son..not scared. But you could see excitement but s certsin unconfiratble nervousness in his eyes. We are not a spiritial or faith based family . My wife loosly practices some Buddhist type philosophy and I am an atheist and paranormal skeptic. My teenage daughter however is a full on believer if the paranormal . Snd she was going giddy ballistic over it as she showed it first to my brother, who didn't seen surprised in fact he just smiled and nodded as tears welled up in his eyes...then my my wife who studied it and eventually just bit her hand over her mouth ads they all backend Mr over to too look at it. She said in an obvious attempt to calm everyone down" thats just the cracks in the couch , right?" MY brother got up so we could all look at the spot clearly. Which honestly, after seeing the pic, I didn't even need to see. My brother shook his head and said "nah,..." And we both said nearly at the same time... " Thats Murphy." My daughter my son and his friends pretty much took pictures of my poor brother and that spot endlessly the rest of the day.. it obviously was beginning to get to him so he left a bit early but was thrilled about the entire day . And for the first time since the dog died he actually smiled and seemed happy. He even held the door to his car open and called " lets go home, Murph!" Like in the old days...it was a bittersweet end to a very odd day. My son is constantly asking to go on ghost hunts with his sister now and is stuck on these stupid teen ghost hunter channels on youtube ESPECIALLY SAM AND COLBY WHOM MY DAYGHTER SIMPLY WORSHIPS! UGH... Thank God he's got his own phone to watch them on , anyway! SO... Thanks Murphy for bringing life, ( afterlife), and excitement back into this family. Its so full of PARANORMAL ( adjacent) ACTIVITY now!..lol...or as my son wants to call his ghost hunting group now " THE PAW-RANORMALS"... to which my daughter simply rolled her eyes and sighed "eh...no." Whether or not you were truly here in spirit...or simply nagahide cracks in a 20 year old sofa you've certainly lit a ghostly fire under our hum-drum butts Youve shown my kids and my brother that love and loyalty Is forever. ( especially a dogs) So , Paradoilia or paranormal, Thank you.! And though we sleep better knowing youre still watching over him and that he's not entirely alone,... if you could just convince your pig headed dad he STILL needs to get a LIVING service dog that would truly be a miracle. Do I believe any of this ? I'd like to. But shadows cracks and wrinkles in an old sofa where the dog used to sit seems stuck in my stubborn head.... but as my wife says..." life is only as magical as you believe it is. Maybe a little belief in a little magic couldn't hurt." Maybe. We'll see... |
2024.05.14 07:46 ThusSpakeChase Never thought I'd be here
I'm a veterinary technician with some training and behavior experience. Not an expert by any means, but not a novice either. I lost my soul dog of 14 years, a Rottie mix, in March. I raised her from 8 weeks and we were inseparable. My lifestyle consists of hiking, camping, backpacking, and generally being outdoors, and she was up for all of it.
Two months after losing her I started to feel like I'm ready to start again, so I began researching and gearing up for a new puppy. A few weeks later I met a scruffy little 14 week old terrier mix at a rescue and felt an instant connection with her. Her foster had her for three weeks and described her as confident, outgoing, and smart.
I'm now three weeks into the adoption and I regret to say that I haven't felt a bond with her since that first day. She's so skittish and on guard all the time that she won't play or accept treats anywhere except inside my apartment. She's terrified to go on walks and can't even relax in the backyard. She acts like there's a monster outside the fence. I've not forced her, and I've done everything I know to do as far as positive association and gentle introductions. She's just constantly worried about something. And she's so independent that she doesn't look to me for comfort or guidance, and that makes bonding tough. I feel like I don't have a companion, and that's what I really need in a dog.
On top of everything, my elderly cat passed away of kidney failure today. He was very old and had kidney disease for years, but I can't help but feel that the stress of a new puppy in the house played a part, and that makes me feel really guilty.
Now I'm considering returning the puppy to the rescue because she's not a good fit and I feel like a failure and a terrible person. She's good in so many ways: smart, doesn't nip, crate and potty trained in a few days.. I'm just struggling to bond and I don't think she's happy with me and doesn't seem like she'll be able to enjoy my lifestyle of camping and hiking. I think she would benefit from living with other dogs because she doesn't seem to get much comfort from her human. Has anyone else been in this situation or had thoughts like this? Do you think it's valid to consider rehoming her after three weeks?

2024.05.14 07:39 Used_Seaweed4829 Remote Data Entry Job Scam?
So, I have been on the hunt for a remote entry level position for a while now. This company called Avstera Therapeutics reached out to me, via text, saying they would like to interview me for the position. I received a “Verification/Hiring code” to use for the interview. The interview process was via Microsoft Teams, text only, and I texted with a lady called Megan. The entire process lasted about an hour, and almost 10 minutes after the interview concluded, I was offered a job. I was offered $30 an hour during two weeks of training, then $35 an hour after training. So naturally, I accepted. I just started training last week and they said they would pay off my credit card debt on the first day of training, so they gave me an account and routing number to use the pay the debt and it said the payment posted and all was well…. Until today, which is a week later and the credit card company denied the payment due to insufficient funds. And they sent me a check for “office equipment” and my bank said they will not deposit the check. I’ve been “training” for a week now and the only things we have discussed is credit card payment and the check for “office equipment”. I’m starting to feel scammed and like this is a little too good to be true. Has anyone had this experience with Avstera Therapeutics, or am I being scammed??

2024.05.14 07:34 parrishkaha reactive dogs online?
two questions:
1) I've been taking daily videos of Toccio, not just when he's being adorable, but to document his response to training, and his progress, and our challenges and struggles. I did this for myself, but I don't think I've seen a youtube, insta or tik tok channel that does this- documents the ongoing challenges and successes of one dog and their human. Have any of you seen something like that?
2) Has anyone ever tried to create/host a regular online meet up for care-takers of reactive dogs? Like, on zoom?

2024.05.14 07:29 0beklenti Why shouldn't I buy a Forerunner 55 in 2024?
I've been researching Forerunner models around €250 for a long time. I'm considering the Forerunner 55, 165, and 255. I briefly tried the 255 before.
My expectations are: - Body Battery - Sleep tracking - Training suggestions - Connecting to a chest strap - Sending heart rate data to Zwift or a bike computer - Create and send training from garmin connect for cycle and running
I really like the AMOLED display on the 165. Touch isn't important to me. I'm wondering if the 55 would be sufficient or if there will be a Forerunner 65 soon or if the 165 is already its successor.
The 255 offers many features, but I think I won't need many of them, like the triathlon mode. If I don't go for an AMOLED display, the FR 55 seems more reasonable, although it's already a few years old.
I find Garmin's product line confusing. I'm very undecided. The Coros Pace 3 and Mi Band 8 Pro are alternatives, but I really like Garmin as a brand. Can you help me decide?

2024.05.14 07:24 RinkyDink1629 How can I, as a team lead, make night shift more bearable for everyone/run more efficiently?
I would like to start off by saying I might become a team lead soon. Yes I know these are big goals for someone who is just a team lead, but I like to set my sights high. If that happens, or even if not, I would like to make my mark by making night shift run more smoothly/make it more bearable for the higher leads and team members as well.
What is the problem?
submitted by RinkyDink1629 to ChickFilAWorkers [link] [comments]
What is the problem?
- I have noticed that day shift goes about as well as can be expected, considering everyone must be good at their jobs or else we’ll sink and metaphorically drown. However, my qualm with night shift’s inefficiency might lend a hand to improving the rest as well.
- The problem with night shift, or so I assume, is that the staff is mostly highschool kids who (probably) don’t have to pay rent & have been drained from school prior to clocking in. Most of the time, as our store’s location is located in a very busy area (made $12.4m last year) centered near many other businesses and schools— we get SLAMMED with no hopes of running the shift efficiently. There’s the school rush, dinner rush, and pre-close rush…and sometimes they all blend together too.
- Some resulting issues include:
- Dining room being a mess because there’s only one person and it gets crazy busy at night; but we get comparable rushes in the day and people often manage DR by themselves. This goes back to general cleanliness within the whole restaurant.
- People forgetting to stock their own areas/walking away without readying themselves/others for the next rush. This makes it far harder for the main stocker to handle their job, and they are already typically someone who is not acclimated to stocking since common stockers call out/have things come up that night. Must we train people on stocking more?
- Order accuracy, and again why is this a far more common issue at night rather than day? We have several replacement orders made at night so there is plenty to be fixed.
- I’m unsure if the main issue is pre-existing fatigue, supremely how busy we are, or just plain apathy by most of the staff. Would it be wrong to assume that? :0
- Ultimately my goal is to lessen the mental/physical workload on the team as a whole, but hopefully for other leads too because that will result in better team treatment/management.
- If we’re talking results that look good for me/the store as a whole (I GUESS😹)— a generally smoother night shift could lead to shorter wait times which would equate to more sales since more customers would be inclined to stop by due to speedy service.
- If I had to consolidate my overall goals into three core values, Chick-Fil-A’s winning heart strategy says it best:
- Clean & Safe Environment
- Fast & Accurate Service
- Genuine Hospitality
- I could assign a position where a particularly skilled person floats between dining room and a secondary stocking position.
- Assign leaders to specific parts of the restaurant each night.
- I.e. “Jeff” would be in charge of iPads, which means he’s having the other fellas sequence the cars correctly (we have a two lane DT which merges into one line, yes it’s difficult). So on and so forth for Front Counter and the Drive Thru interior.

2024.05.14 07:15 dirganddahlias Losing it with my 3.5 year old
My daughter is 3.5, I love her and she is driving me absolutely insane.
There was no switch at 2, or 3, her behavior has just slowly been ramping up over the past yeayear and a half. She is constantly demanding “her” music, “her” shows, screaming no at her baby brother, screaming no at the dog, and giving conditional affection to mom and dad depending on how much we are willing to give her her way.
She screams and clings to me every day (3 days a week) when I drop her off at daycare. I haven’t been able to give her baby brother any attention at drop off because the morning is spent trying to get her settled without too much drama about being dropped off. So the daycare teacher requested trying something new, setting the expectation that I will walk her in, give her a big hug and kiss and turn around and leave. So yeah, still no time to tend to baby brother who is also going through separation anxiety.
I pick her up today, play “her” songs on the way home (Taylor Swift). She’s jamming, we’re talking about her day, I’m telling her I’m so proud of her for being a big girl at school. Come home, make dinner while we’re still listening to Taylor Swift. She refuses dinner. Pizza bread, zucchini, and applesauce. Says she doesn’t feel good and wants cheerios. I check her throat, it looks red, maybe she isn’t feeling well, give her cheerios. She requests to watch some TV. We watch “her” show (Scooby Doo). Time for bed. Fights brushing her teeth. Screams bloody murder when I try to brush her hair. I finally lost my shit and yelled at her to knock her shit off before she wakes her brother up. Take her upstairs and finish brushing her hair while she’s SCREAMING.
I apologize for losing my patience with her. Ask her if she wants a hug. She says no and wants me to leave her room. Requests daddy to read to her and stay in her room for bedtime. I leave feeling sad and guilty, and knowing that I get to do it all over again tomorrow starting with a horrific daycare drop off.
This is mostly just a rant but also is she acting this way because we are just spoiling the shit out of her? I only work 3 days a week. The other days we usually have something planned, swim, gymnastics, lots of outside time now that the weather is getting better. I go back and forth between “this is normal” and “this gentle parenting shit is bullshit and my child is spoiled and needs much firmer boundaries”. I never was the type to sleep train or withhold meals if they’re not willing to eat what I made and stuff like that but I’m starting to question my methods.

2024.05.14 07:07 czaranthony117 I got a Dog (small dog breed) and I think my housemates dislike me:
I (M28) moved in with a couple that are a friend of a friend type deal. They (M28 and F27) own a home together and have 2 other housemates living with them. We are all working professionals. Upon moving in, the dynamic was great. I'm always at work or gone from the home so I rarely interacted with them, rent is always 2 weeks early, I keep the place clean, I don't bring guests over. Additionally, they have 3 cats from the couple and 2 cats from one of the other housemates. I play with the cats and will sometimes clean their kitty litter area if it gets too messy, I don't expect anything out of it I just genuinely like their cats.
When I moved in, part of my lease agreement stated that I could have a dog. Prior to signing the lease and prior to moving in I had voiced that I intended to get to get a dog. Several months later I was out and about and saw some puppies, I went up to view them and one of them was crying and then crawled on me. I picked the puppy up, it stopped crying then peed on me.. I immediately knew that was my dog. I'm not one to get emotional and act on impulse but I knew that was my dog.
I called up my housemates (the owners) and told them that I will likely get a dog by the end of the weekend. I texted so that I could have it in writing that I was going to get a puppy, the puppy was to stay in my room away from the stay in my room to quarantine just in case it was sick. I am going to come home every day for lunch to feed the puppy, play with him, feed him etc. Additionally, I was going to limit the amount of hours I worked to put a lot of time into my pup. I also stated that if it didn't work out, it would hurt my soul but, I could easily re-home my pup and have him stay with my mom.
I f*cked up and ended up getting the dog that day but several hours later, making sure my mom was okay with possibly taking the dog if it didn't work out. I got my dog on a Saturday and that day I bought all his necessities, including a travel bag/crate to put him in so that I could keep him off the ground just in case he was sick with something and I didn't know.
That Sunday, he stayed in my room, and I quarantined myself in there as a precaution. I made an appointment with a Vet for Monday (2 days after I had got him). I took half the day off of work so that I could take him. I spent a LOT of money to get him evaluated and tested for possible transmissible diseases that could get the cats sick. I asked the vet all the right questions in terms of the do's and don'ts about puppy health. Specifically asked, "can my dog get the cats sick?" The Vet said "not unless my dog is sick and the cats get around him or specifically his poo." I followed up with, "Can the cats get my dog sick?" He said, "not unless the puppy is in direct contact with the cat's feces." I continued to quarantine my pup, got him some artificial turf, began to crate train and potty train immediately. I got his results quick, by Wednesday... he came back with a clean bill of health and had an appointment that following Saturday for his first dose of distemper (parvo vaccine). He got his first parvo vaccine and was given his first dose of topical anti-flea medicine. During this visit, I asked the vet two questions 1) Can I start taking my dog out in my backyard to potty train him? 2) Will my dog get the cats sick? Answer: 1) So long as you know that no other dogs have been back there to pee/poo and he's not in direct contact with pee/poo. 2) No, especially now that we know that he is not a carrier of anything.
At this point, in order to potty train my dog, when I catch him squatting in my room, I'm picking him up and taking him to the door, having him ring (touch a bell thing), and taking him to a specific spot in the back yard. When he's done, I carry him back in or stay outside with him to play a little since we're confined to only being in my room and the backyard. After which, I carry him and bring him back in. I'm kind of in my own world as I am really happy but I begin to notice that the owners are being passive aggressive, they aren't asking about the puppy or how he's doing or even saying "hi" to me... hell .. they haven't even made an attempt to meet him. It didn't hit me until I asked one of them if they wanted to meet the puppy and they responded with "nah, I'm good. I'm okay." I was immediately thrown back thinking to myself "who doesn't want to meet a puppy?"
I came home from work one day, put the puppy in his case and took him out to play/poo/pee. I brought him back in and I finally heard the business. The girlfriend was pissed to the point where you can hear that she wanted to cry (that cracked voice sound). "I can't believe you did this, it was impulsive. You got the dog without even asking us. He can get our cats sick. He can bring in fleas, we're very serious about fleas. You did not discuss this with us. We had a similar situation with our last roommate that didn't take care of his cat and neglected it." It went on and on and on. I calmly responded with, "Please do not equate me with another individual. I took my dog to the vet not even 2 days after I got him, since then he's been in my room and in my room only. He already has one of his shots, is on anti flea meds, gets his second dose April 20th and third May 18th." She emotionally goes on and on and effectively makes it sound like I'm incompetent... I'm an electrical engineer... I'm not stupid by any means. I got her questions answered but she still requested that I carry him in his case despite already establishing that he cannot get the cats sick, whatever, I'm still honoring that request.
We are all talking normal again but still, they have not made an attempt to meet the puppy nor ask about my puppy. They just see me taking him out to the backyard or leaving with him. The only puppy related thing they asked is that I spray water over where he pees in the backyard because it can kill the grill. My puppy is 4 - 5 lbs at 10 weeks old, he pees milliliters, we have san augustine grass, this grass is literally unkillable short of not watering it (this request I do not honor as I just found it completely irrational, when he gets bigger... sure.. right now though?).
I feel like I'm walking on egg shells here. I want to move but this place is 25 minutes (without traffic) from my job and is affordable. I have three options 1) Move out further from work and get my own place. 2) Move back in with my mom who lives 55 miles away from my job. 3) Re-home my dog. First two options mean that I will not be able to go home for lunch to take my dog out to pee/poo and play/eat. Third option, is the nuclear one and I don't want to touch it.
I don't know how to go about this, I know I jacked up by impulsively getting the dog but he's here and I'm making it work but at the same time feel like I'm keeping him prisoner in my room.
My housemates are cool, they're well educated and nice people but man, they are passive aggressive as heck. It kills me that they won't even acknowledge my puppy, he's done nothing wrong. I kills me more because he loves people and gets excited to meet new people. When I'm gone at work, he does not cry, bark, etc. He's just chill'n with his music (low volume), chewing on his toys, searching for snacks that I've hid in his play area, sleeping or waiting for me. My housemates legit do not have to do anything, I have not asked anything of them and it kills me that they won't even acknowledge him.
How do I go about this?
tldr: I got a puppy, am a responsible owner but owners are being weird about me having a dog despite it being okay on lease. I don't want to move due to proximity to work.

2024.05.14 06:49 QuillBlade Can Medical Alerts Be Taught?
Hi all,
I'd like any advice on acquiring/training a medical alert service dog. When I got my current service dog, medical alert was not something I was looking for. She just began alerting on her own as a puppy. All I had to do was shape her alerts into an acceptable behaviour in public. But she won't live forever. I won't need my next service dog for another 3-4 years, but I'm beginning to worry how I'm going to find one. I don't want to go back to life without the alerts. I'm willing to shell out the money for a good program that can tailor tasks to me, because my next dog needs to be able to alert, respond, and guide. But I don't know where to go.
Can alerts even be trained? Can they be taught from one dog to another?

2024.05.14 06:37 vipperron [WTB] T2, SBA3 with FEER or similar cheek riser, 1913 Folder that Accepts Milspec Stocks
Got the bug again to completely switch a bunch of my setups around. Looking to pickup a few things:
submitted by vipperron to GunAccessoriesForSale [link] [comments]
- Aimpoint T2, any condition as long as glass is clear, don’t need frills like aftermarket mounts or KAC or anything - $650 for great cond.
- SBA3 with FEER or similar cheek riser for some kind of giraffe mount. Black or FDE - $120
- Ideally an Alpha Beam stock from MI but something that folds off a 1913 extension and takes Milspec Stocks - $100
