    And said dog ignored it. Focusing instead on loving mother figure.

    Try to perceive while you were like that did you feel like running or hiding before it? or want to fight? ,how are you after your period? are you feverish? as you could have a very new pelvic infection! Drink pure orange not concentrated you need potassium and blood sugar not! an orange drink with cane sugar dont feed the infection

    Dog V4 offers a hug and a piece of his very destroyed new toy.
    I didn’t go to my friend’s birthday party. I feel bad but there were too many strangers invited, and apparently everyone’s drunk. No thanks!
    I have a sneaky competitor who is trying to destroy my business. Ugh!!!

    No, an adult woman. She’s been sneaking around asking people what my rates are and what my qualifications are, and trying to tell people I’m running a business that isn’t approved because I don’t work for a company.
    Worst. Cramps. EVER. My cycles are really irregular too so I never know what I’m going to get. Like Russian roulette, but with more blood.

    Recommend for a laugh watching men using a period cramp simulator, i have a tens machine and its nothing like as bad as period cramp but funny to watch married men experience weak childbirth pain
    I'm not in a good mood tonight, which is rare. I'm just tired of people hurting me. This is a good way to make me bitter and want to isolate

    There are more evolved humans out there, Luca. You will find more and more of them as you get older - these things take time etc.

    Thank you :) You're a good friend to me!!

    Thank you, and you are to me. In fact you were my first befriender here! :)
    I have been eating a bit less and being very active, but still not losing any weight. My stomach is still huge. Why are my legs skinnier tho

    @Atrapa Almas, it's lovely to see males promoting F&V eating! :) In Australia there was traditionally a "real men don't eat rabbit food" mindset - very Anglo. Of course Italian-Australian men laughed at this, rightly so!

    Luca, you are also you-shaped! :)

    Look at all the things you can do outdoors with your dogs too. A body is a fine thing really!

    Polycystic ovaries will give you a swollen abdomen ,youve got to eat more iron rich foods leafy greens spinach when your abdomen isnt swollen,have white bread until you stop bleeding you dont need to be digesting fibre while youre swollen:)
    Pro dog training tip: Dogs love being talked to in a silly baby voice. I thought this was silly until I tried it myself :)

    I used to have my doubts about "purely positive" dog training too, but it has saved my fearful/aggressive/reactive rescue dog's life!!!

    I recommend watching the bionic vet (YouTube) to see that speaking in a excitable voice isn't always good ,confidence yes but very calm like an alpha wolf ,silly baby voice is like a very young puppy asking for food or an epsilon wolf (peace maker who might be controlled!!!by the alpha dog)

    Rue just looks at me like I'm stupid when I try it with him. He likes conversation. Zwi adores it though.
    I'm supposed to go to a nightclub with my friend for his birthday on Friday. But he invited some people I don't know. Now I don't want to go
    L
    Luca
    Yes, I meant being forced to interact with them. Lol. I don't mind being around people I don't know because I can ignore them. The nightclubs here are about the same but I love loud music actually! And I love dancing. I go to clubs by myself a lot, or at least I did before Covid.

    LOL

    There you go, different horses for different courses! :)

    I'm trying to work out methods for not being approached by people you don't know. Lots of garlic? But that would perhaps also repel the people you do!
    Callistemon
    Callistemon
    And maybe you can teach me to dance! ;)

    I'm OK at a bit of Scottish Highland because it's simple and I went to a group for a while, but all that other stuff...
    I am just so upset and angry about the state the world is in and I want to scream.

    I was thinking the two of you might like some music jokes. ...they are very mean music jokes! We once laughed for about two hours reading these!

    Look up the origins of some of Metallica's lyrics from their golden age. Most of it was written by James Hetfield (lead singer), and some of it is therapy for tough times he went through.

    For example, The God That Failed refers to the fact that his mom, a devout Christian Scientist, rejected all medical help when she got cancer, and died horribly. (Christian Science believes in the rejection of medicine in favor of prayer.) The song is him raging at God for not answering her prayers.
    Hex had the best birthday ever! And she even got some surprise gifts from Kodi’s service dog trainer, and my neighbors! And lots of toys!

    Luca
    Thank you so much everyone for your sweet birthday wishes! I could not ask for a better support system than the one I have on here <3
    I saw a really creepy shadow in my room and it moved away when I looked at it. I hope it was an optical illusion.

    If you don't like spiders don't watch live versions of this song, because they have big spiderweb backdrops for it with spiders in them, and the singer makes his fingers walk up and down the microphone like a spider while he's singing about it and does lots of miming. ;)
    L
    Luca
    EW!!! Lol
    Callistemon
    Callistemon
    It's very funny though. I love the song for its almost oriental guitar intro melody, for its theatrical nature, and also for how they ham the whole thing up live! :)
    Drunk lady came up to me and my dogs got assertive. An example of why I would never recommend some of these breeds to inexperienced owners.

    They will not defend physically unless there is legitimate danger. But Dogo Argentinos, specifically, are absolutely NOT for the first-time dog owner. Pointers have a territorial and protective streak too if they feel like their people are being threatened. My Podengo is also tenacious and fearless. My Newfoundland would let a burglar in tho. Lol

    You have a Newfoundland too. Oh boy. Your bed isn't big enough. Lol

    There are pics of all of mine on here lol. I sleep up against the window. They have full control of the rest of the bed!!
    I gave my dogs baths today. And I just picked up birthday stuff for Hex. Tomorrow is her birthday! She’ll be one year old already!!!

    This is a huge milestone since, if you’ve been following her story since I joined here, she had a debilitating medical condition and I didn’t think she would make it past six months. She has grown out of the condition and is able to do anything a normal dog can do.
    L
    Luca
    I got her lots of stuffed animals, including a GIANT unicorn and several other unicorns, axolotls, and a Mahi fish (my favorite Hawaiian fish, Enzo has a Mahi collar.) I got her a birthday cake plush and a giant birthday dog treat.

    So glad she is fine. I know she caused mom to stress something awful. Being animal parents is a tough job.
    I’m trying to respond to private messages. I hope no one feels like I don’t want to talk to them :( I haven’t been doing too well.

    Dear Luca, you are going to have to employ a secretary to help you with your many correspondence commitments! ;) Hope you have a great day. Feel better soon.
    L
    Luca
    @Callistemon LOL!
    I hope you’re having a great day too! It is about 2am here and I’m going to try to sleep. That might be asking too much of myself lol
    Callistemon

    No joke, but cuddling up to a body pillow or large fluffy teddy bear can help with sleep if you are a side sleeper. It's a bit like giving a puppy a hot-water bottle with a fluffy cover to sleep with when you first bring them home.
    An incident at a McDonalds near me has gone viral on the internet. I’m embarrassed to live here sometimes.
    I am becoming even more highly suspicious of everyone's motives than I was before. :/ Like I don't even know who/what is real at this point.

    Hi Aspychata. I was thinking more, in terms of feeling a change, in general. Not a lack of support, nor 'new members'. But, I know we can all experience things in different ways, so I am not discounting what you've been experiencing. I think there are new members whom have been extremely supportive and have contributed, significantly. (I felt the need to clarify). Hope you're very well, btw. :)
    Aspychata
    Aspychata
    Thanks Loren. True. It's just that crewlucca doesn't feel comfortable, I am concerned. Maybe l just miss all the members since l have been here. Lol. May you have a relaxing Sunday too.

    It's hard but the best way is to stop ruminations. People love you, people hate you. You can not do anything about it.

    And there are people out there who love you and respect you. You have a great family with four paws (and two feet)
    There are also many people who care about you on the forum ;)

    I might be across the ocean but please feel hugged <3
