I only used it once and the guy was also really cool about it - I told him I wasn't 100% sure I needed it (confusion over time of regular BC pill taking and the international date line) but he was like, better safe than sorry, you're doing the right thing, etc. Happy Customer.

Totally - when I look at an Orangutan in a zoo, I am reminded of an old person in a home. It makes me uncomfortable as shit.

I think it's interesting how many kids who did get physically punished were only punished that way until a certain age. Try it when they get get to say 10-12 and they WILL just hit you back. It's funny how we consider it assault if you hit another adult, but if you hit someone smaller than you, whose care is entrusted…

Haha I think people just like to say "doodle". There is a little Flanders in us all...

It's probably more to do with the fact that vaccines are often grown in eggs or animal brain cultures, so perhaps she objects to this on the grounds of being vegan. But yes I'd hardly call her stupid just because her choices differ to yours.

Thank you. I for one am sick of this hypo-allergenic "doodle" craze, we now have Labradoodles, Goldendoodles, Spoodles, Cavoodles, Schnoodles, Whoodledors, Retradoodles, RetraSPOODLES and the other day, I discovered, Foodles. If people want a mixed breed pet they should go get a rescue. Stop cramming poodles into…

I tried this once while trying to get my dog used to sleeping outside (in a sleepout). 3 hours of straight barking with no response from me. I felt bad for the neighbours (and my other dog, who had to stay with her) so had to give this up in the end. I found a "No. Quiet." more effective for my dog.

This is exactly what this pup is being taught to do. I taught my dog speak, because I had read that by putting this behaviour on cue, the dog would only do it when asked. What a load of horse-shit that turned out to be!! She does that same sneezey thing with her growly-speak too.

Well that's the average, innit, they get 4 and a half hours sleep, while lucky, child-free me gets a full 10 or so.

If you drink a buttload of caffeine this can actually impair your bodies ability to use/absorb iron. Or you can get in a cycle of caffeine dependency where you don't get a restful sleep because of too much caffeine, which means you need it again the next day. Maybe tone it down gradually rather than cold turkey?

I sleep ten/10.5 hours - I work part time and I am a grad student, so my hours are really flexible. I usually head off to bed at about ten and fall asleep with no problems, and then when allowed to wake up naturally I'll get up at about 8.30. If I get up earlier I'll often need a nap later. Everyone is different but…

Yeah I remember my own pretty clearly too - I remember getting a spank in the supermarket when I had a raincoat on covering my thighs, and telling my mum the four year old equivalent of "whatever, that didn't even hurt". But I also remember being locked in the woodshed, and another couple of horrible instances where…

As I said - I was hit too, and I don't think it messed me up or made me violent - but I do resent my parents for it and would not do the same to my kids, though I choose to be child free - and maybe that's why. I'm not sure I would know how to raise them any other way. I don't get along with my parents as an adult, so…

I had jerks in my year too - I stayed a year behind and things were much better after that. :)

Mine was Prom Queen. He wore a dress to senior prom.

Hahaha that's who I thought of - not because I think she would've been mean, but because it was the first blog I thought of and it's so well known.

I prefer one of my dogs over the other and I feel bad enough about that!!

Yes, perhaps if this were anonymous then it would be less potentially hurtful.

In my country it is now illegal to physically discipline your kids - it is kind of a "zero tolerance" thing in order to reduce child abuse - if you aren't even allowed to give them a smack, then you certainly wouldn't give them a black eye or a broken bone, or heaven forbid, kill them.

It's not only puppies that find them amusing but also small children as well:
