Actually, depending on the type of support she needs, the dog may not be able to provide the proper help. If the dog is trained to stand between her and strangers, or needs to be able to nudge her or paw at her if she is about to have a panic attack, the dog is unable to do her job. Also, the dog has likely not been…

I would also add that momo507 is belittling the hard work of the people and organizations that train these impressive animals.

I work at an organization that trains service dogs. They help out veterans with PTSD as well as help with physical tasks in a veterans life as needed. PTSD sufferers can show a number of symptoms. Some put them in danger. The dogs are trained to know the symptoms and react accordingly. Nudge, bark, get help, bring…

Thinking to self "Wow, her posture is impeccable!"

I'm in the Baltimore suburbs and our annoying truck has the annoying he-LOOO too. I'm one of the ice cream grinches. It wouldn't be bad if he didn't park outside my townhouse for hours with it blaring. It's also more of an Ice Cream Pedophile Van, not so much a truck...

People still care about you. Is there any method of direct messaging on here? I'd love to give you my personal email address so I could respond sooner. I know you're capable of making it through this dark period

I'm still thinking about you and hoping you're making it through your bout with depression. Give your cute dog an extra cuddle for me tonight please!

I know plenty of women tend to look for relationships that reflect how the woman feels about herself. I haven't really looked for the phenomenon in my male friends, but we socialize women to find so much wrong with themselves, that they look for the same in relationships.

3 weeks is nothing. You're supposed to still be grieving. It's been 5 months since my ex left me and I'm still grieving. Every week its just a little bit less, but it's still there, and a major part of who i am today.

OMG, please don't do this. Please call the suicide hotline again. And then please visit a therapist who can help you work through why you keep feeling this way. Perhaps you need drugs, and there's nothing wrong with that! Some people's bodies just don't make the right chemicals.

You're definitely going to have some selection bias here though. Previous experience in religion teaches "touching yourself is something to be ashamed of, don't do it!!" and it took me a while to figure out they were SO wrong...

Love this :) If I ever end up in Utah, I'll make sure I wear my corsets out!

Actually, they've supported animations since 1990 (when they were 3 years old as a specification). We just didn't use them that way often because of bandwidth capabilities. Remember the flashing "under construction" gifs of the 90's :) Also...<blink> tags...remember those!? Terrible idea!

.gif is an extention. They can be animated or not. This particular image, however, is a jpg. Everyone wins?

I live here on HoCo MD. This county has repeatedly had amazing education, police, low crime rates, etc so that we always rank in top 10 lists year after year. Columbia is a true community. This is the last place you'd expect a public domestic shooting. But it even happens to us. With such a broken system I have no…

I was actually thinking about this recently. I have no moral qualms to polyamory. Feel free to let your freak flag fly free around me as long as your quirks are all consentual.

Yup, he is :)

Generations span about 20 years. Gen X was early 60's to early 80's. Baby Boomers were from the 40's to the 60's.

Not illegal to discriminate based on a young age. It's only discrimination if it's against those 40 and older. (http://www.eeoc.gov/laws/statutes/…)
