I have dealt with anxiety since I was 19..I'm 36. Not that it's gotten better, but I do think the older you get and unfortunately the longer you have had to put up with it, it does get (at least for me) a little more manageable. If I am at work I will usually tell myself "ok time to just keep busy". I will try to find…

We got him a crate that is actually meant for 30-45 lb dogs so that he would have extra room to move around. I think I am going to continue to work on getting him into a routine of eating in the morning even if, as someone here suggested, I lace his food with broth or something else to entice him into eating. Hopefully…

I put his food out for him in the morning when we wake up (he sleeps in the bed with us). I leave it out from about an hour and try to get him to eat but he is not interested at all. I gave him a treat this morning just so he'd have something in his tummy. He eats good in the evening. Usually when we are all gathered in…

Crating him all day is not the long term solution. I'm not thrilled about it,but the idea is that by having scheduled meal times and being crated he will learn to hold his pee longer and be better house trained so that we can leave him out in the house when were are gone.

Thanks for the feedback! We spend a lot of time outside with him when we are home to make sure he gets enough exercise and play time.

I don't think that's really a fair statement to make considering most people work 8 hours a day and still manage to keep pets. We are home everyday by 4:30 and every weekend.

He seems ok with the crate so far. He was used to being confined to some degree already. Is it ok that he is only eating in the evening? I don't know how else to get him to eat in the morning. He's always been a picker and not so much a sit and eat everything in his bowl at once.

I have to sleep on the the side of the bed that is closest to the door.

Well, shiiit!

This thread helped me pass a good half hour out of my boring work day. Quite entertaining. Two thumbs up!

Dear Younger Me, Don't be so quick to believe everything people tell you. Not everyone is a good person. Do not lose yourself. Don't rush. Have as much fun as you can in your twenties because hangovers in your 30's are like death. Love, Me

My dog is almost 2 and still gets up in the middle of the night to potty- it sucks.

I have a hard time with Mayo and wine.

This is the problem with the DIY treatments. I am supposed to be moving out of my current house in 2 weeks. I refuse to bring my stuff into a home with a flea problem. Unless he agrees to have it treated by a professional, I am cancelling my contract.

Is it sad that I don't even know what my job title is???? I'm just gonna go with Jack of All Trades.

7am- Get up / see oldest child off to school 7:15-8:30am - Shower, get myself ready for work, and get 2 younger kids ready for school 8:40- Drop younger kids off at school 8:45-4:45- work, commute 4:45-8:00- run an errand if needed, cook dinner, dishes, maybe do a load of laundry, catch up with my kids and fiance 8:00- All…

Awe! This is sooo cute! It sounds like it could be a movie! I love it!

I'd tell you to go get a Muffuletta from Central Grocery or Blood Mary and a sandwich from Maspero's or some creole/Italian food from Adolfo's.

I live currently in New Orleans where I was born and raised. I lived in Las Vegas for about 5 years when I was in my twenties. I hated it. The people in New Orleans are as eclectic and full of culture as our great city. The people in our city have deep roots and often never leave. And if they do, they always come back. It…

My electric bill can get up to $350 during the hottest months of summer. During the winter the lowest it has been is $40.

Speechless....

Good point... I hadn't thought of that when I was being envious and petty. You really don't know what people are going through. Now I feel bad.

Amen. As if NO ONE ever said...I wish I looked like that, or I wish I had a house like that, or I wish I had straight hair like that instead of curly. I mean everyone is envious and petty at one point or another.

:D

I was making the point that if it is just all about CICO then this girl should in theory be larger than what she is. I also made the point to say "I am fighting with my body sooo hard" acknowledging that obviously everyone's body is different and gains/loses/maintains in a different way. For someone on this side of the…

She says she never exercise and can't stand to get sweaty...maybe she's lying. It's sooo annoying though as I am counting the calories in my chicken breast seeing her scarf down Taco Bell.

Turn on the water...and spray

This is a rental. Apparently though and inspection was done at some point if they had to disclose that there was mold/ mildew on the property.

There was no explanation on the mold/mildew disclosure form. My agent has reached out to the owner's agent for an explanation. He said that he thinks it's a paperwork error...not sure about that.

I usually drink red wine during the week. I usually have a few glasses during the week. Beer is for the weekend. I'd rather drink Bud Light but lately it's been just regular Budweiser.
