Thanks! Bella has general anxiety that spikes with loud noises, storms, fireworks etc. and the CBD has been a game changer for her. We just go to a local dispensary (we’re in B.C.) and they sell pre-made dog cookies and CBD oil—the oil we give her is 1:1 CBD:THC and at 40lbs she gets 1 drop (which is 1mg CBD/THC)…

I have one dog (the other is not a big cuddler), a glass of wine and hockey on the tv. Dog is stressed because the Instant Pot is cooking dinner but her CBD oil cookie should kick in soon so she relaxes.

Yes! Many now are GPS-enabled (this is new in my area though so we are working out the kinks). It can give you some independence back and allow you to stay in your own home. Please let me know if you decide to go that route and how it works for you!

Thank fuck Trudeau is out of touch with mainstream Americans. Religious rights should not override human rights, and I’m personally thankful for a PM who is standing up for women’s rights. Yeah a company’s beliefs should not affect who they hire and train, but if you are applying for federal funding should those…

I work in emergency services and we deal with Life Line type companies all the time. I’m not sure where you are but some of them are fantastic services and in addition to a fall-detected type alarm, many have a daily check-in time where if you don’t check in they will attempt calling you, and if no answer your…

I can’t wait for this to be me, in about 30 minutes when I can finally leave work. Couch, wine in hand, dog(s) in lap. I got a large tattoo on my side on Thursday so no heavy exercise for another day or so (which is driving me stir-crazy). Have a good evening! (Love your hair, btw!)

I’m so, so sorry for your loss. Sending you love and hugs. He sounds like an amazing man.

This time of year is so tough—everyone paints such a happy picture for themselves, and in so many cases it’s not accurate. This year I cut out a lot of friends and family who were really toxic and though overall I feel good about my decision and know it was the right thing to do, it’s been hard over Christmas hearing…

I am really, really dreading Christmas. The family drama is far worse this year than usual, since ~8 months ago I cut communications with my dad down to the barest minimum. He’s an alcoholic, refuses to take responsibility for his actions or go to therapy/AA, and turns into a huge bigoted asshole when he drinks and I…

I’ve recently started my dog on it for her anxiety and it has been life-changing. A local dispensary (in B.C.) makes CBD-oil dog cookies, and now I just supplement her meals with a drop of CBD oil.

My husband and I do this too. Not tonight because I am stuck working a nightshift, but he did text me earlier this evening: “It might be the red wine talking (it probably is the red wine talking) but I love the new X Files.” Saturday night and he’s home alone, drinking and watching X Files with our dogs.

I say “No kids for us!” and if they keep pushing, “I’ve been spayed, thanks” or “What I do with my uterus is none of your business, thanks.”

I *love* my Kindle. I bought my first one a few years ago when I was going on a 6 week backpacking trip, and haven’t gone back! I have upgraded (and replaced the upgrade when I forgot it in a hostel in Phnom Penh) and especially love the Kindle Paperwhite I got last year.

I definitely see progress! And increase in weights you’re lifting *fist bump*

This may be hidden in the greys, but here goes anyways! Feels like none of my friends really “get” this and hoping I can get some feedback from anyone who does see this.

I just want to say how sorry I am. There are many good suggestions here. You and your husband are in my thoughts.

I am stuck at work all night and don’t get paid the extra “fall back” hour *grumble grumble* BUT my good news is I found out I passed an exam I have been studying for for 2 years so now I am awaiting an interview for a supervisory position.

I was on a 6+hr flight last week and a parent let their child sing FOR THE LAST HOUR OF THE FLIGHT. I guarantee you, no one wants to listen to that shit. I would gladly hurl that child at a singer instead of rotten tomatoes!

Not every piece of shit can resist making the event all about them, though. That’s the scary part about being related to the POS, and having a large event where you know the chances are fairly high that they will cause drama. My husband and I struggled with inviting my dad to our wedding, even discussed eloping but I…
