HI guys. Feeling a lot better now but, yesterday ... I woke up feeling groggy and that feeling did not go away ,but, I just thought it was fatigue but, later on that day... I felt extremely dizzy as if I was drunk but, I wasn't and then nausea then my heart started to palpitate. I had to leave work an hour early. I believe I was having a migraine. I would like to express my simpathy to anyone that gets migraine's regularly. My anxiety really made things worst too. I think I had bad anxiety due to the stress of it all. I was so dizzy that I couldnt function but, sometimes I get that way with my anxiety also. Anyways . I got home from work and to took some medication and slept all day and all night. Yesterday was one of the worst days I have had in a while.

Sorry you've not been feeling well. Although we may like to leave work an hour early, it never feels the same when you have to go early because you are sick. Even worse when it is the sickness we suffer from.

I hope you took a good rest when you got home and that you are feeling better now.

I like the zero carb diet because it enables me to eat meat and still lose weight.

It's been warm over this side of the pond too, we had a downpour overnight but lovely and warm.

We need the rain really bad,it is humid outside I would take this weather all winter long.
I got some of my favorite food in today they are called Little Debbie oatmeal cream pies you cannot eat to many at once because they make u sh-t lol

As we have reached autumn now, you should start seeing a bit of rain soon, but when it has arrived, you will probably wish it was sunny! That is what I am like, I wish for the hot weather, then when it comes, I wish for the cold!

janemariesayed · Oct 8, 2017

At least if the weather is warm you shouldn't be having any storms that make you anxious. Unless of course, they are hot tropical storms brought about by the hot weather. I've seen too many hurricanes over your side of the pond recently. It would make me really worried and paranoid if we had weather like that over here.

Hope you're all doing well

My fiance and I were away for the weekend at a memorial service, unfortunately. It was in a Polish church though which was nice. We had to speak Polish the whole weekend and my fiance isn't quite as fluent as I am lol. I was born there so I'm bilingual. My fiance is also Polish though so when we get married I will have a very confusing and impossible-to-spell hyphenated Polish last name lol.

My family is always kind of a mixed bag in terms of reactions to my sexuality and my fiance. I have family members that are like "You're going to burn in hell" and I also have some that are like "You're so brave and I'm so proud of you."

The one really bad thing that did happen was that my cousin spit in my fiance's drink at dinner (my fiance is a germophobe) and called us "social justice warriors" and "left-wing radicals." We had to deal with my cousins making fun of us the whole time and just generally being judgmental. Surprisingly, the family members who are closest to my age are the ones who are the least accepting. I don't know whether to blame social media, or the current political climate in both Poland and the USA.

Anyway, that's my rant about my family.
I hope everyone is doing well tonight and had a good weekend. I have work tomorrow which I'm always excited about because I get to see dogs.

If I'm not careful I'll end up bringing more of them home lol.

Way back in 2007 I believe it was we had a hurricane Sandy was her name I can remember sitting in my kitchen at three am and we lost power for about ten days ,no tv no computer all I had was a radio at least I had that but try to live with two little flashlights at night this was in our old apt we had no generator then,it was so boring and at night it was awful with no television to watch,the neighbors would sit outside but back then I didn't go out at all.It was so hard moving around in the dark I had to take my flashlight everywhere with me,A lot of people were upset that we had to wait that long for power this is elderly housing some people needed oxygen and stuff but they fixed the houses down the street before they fixed outs,then a few years later we had a major snowstorm in Oct around halloween we lost power for about four days no heat but i had plenty of blankets but after the storm we had warm weather so i ddint have worry about the heat ,thank God we have generators now,but even so just because you have those doesn't mean the tv or computer will work.I would be lost without them having no power for that long was just awful everyone kept wondering how much longer we would have to go before we got our power back.It was no fun.

Wow! Ten days with no electric, that is a bit long to go without. What a pain in the post and not good for anxiety sufferers either. You can buy rechargeable lights from Amazon or eBay which is what I had when I was living in Egypt. We had lots of power cuts there. Thankfully you have generators now so you should be okay.

Blankets are really good for keeping warm too. Also, fleecy pyjamas are very warm. Our government told the poor people who can't afford heating to wrap themselves up in blankets and drink hot drinks.

Well today was a nice day despite the fact it was cloudy out but warm I did manage to sit outside for about two and a half hours and yes I sat in the rain there is nothing more relaxing then sitting in the rain.I love the feel of raindrops hitting against my skin,
So how is everyone doing here? Love all of you ,your friend,CarolView attachment 471 View attachment 473

I don't know about loving the feel of raindrops on my skin as they would make me feel cold and wet. I really do love watching rain though, it makes me feel calm which is great for my anxiety!

Accepting this kind of sexuality can be difficult for some people because, although it is not new, it is newly legal. Some people don't understand it and are against it. Hence insulting those who have that preference. They should really keep their thoughts to themselves. I hope you and your fiance are strong enough to ignore them. You can always come on here for support. We all love you, whoever it is you choose to love.

I'm a dog trainer at the humane society and I'm also their Bully Breed specialist. I specialize in dogs like Pit Bulls, Staffies, American Bulldogs, etc. and also dogs like Dobermans, German Shepherds, and Rottweilers.
It is definitely the best job in the world

Ah YIPPEE! I love the bully breeds! The bully breeds all have a bit of bulldog in them too so no wonder they are called bully breeds! lol.
I have a boxer, they're made up of the bullenbiser and another dog I forget right now, and my puppy is a staffie cross, and staffies are a breed of bulldog. Bulldogs have such great personalities. I find that they are the most intelligent of breeds understanding sentences etc. I've seen them plan ahead in their mind which shows intelligence. They are also people lovers and really love a strong master because they like to be told what to do. It's their weakness really, that they are people pleasers but it makes them into better dogs.

I love my dogs to bits, they are my bestest of all friends.

So perhaps you could please give me a bit of advice?

When I take them out for a walk they pull on the lead. I'd like to take them out both at once but they both pull really badly and when we get to the green, my pup who weighs 20kg thinks its great fun to charge at me and loopy and with full force bang into us. He's knocked me flying over at the beach ha ha, but it wasn't so amusing at the time. lol

The dogs that really scare me are the pit bulls>I have seen so many people get hurt and injured because of them.

I see where you're coming from because a lot of people are scared of Pit Bulls and other Bully breeds- but the truth is, any dog can bite and be dangerous, regardless of the breed. I've been attacked by and seen other people get attacked by Border Collies, Golden Retrievers, Cocker Spaniels, and Chihuahuas. The first dog I've ever been bitten by was my family's Shetland Sheepdog.
The reason Pit Bulls get such a bad reputation is because when they attack, they do a lot of damage. They are statistically actually less likely to attack unprovoked than other breeds though, and they actually score very well on temperament tests

I have a Pit Bull and a German Shepherd, and my Pit Bull has a much better temperament than my German Shepherd. My Pit Bull is goofy and loving and makes friends with everyone she meets, while my Shepherd is standoffish and wary of strangers.
Any dog has the potential to be dangerous, just as well as any dog has the potential to be wonderful, it all depends on the temperament and certain biological and environmental factors

Sounds like you need to work on teaching the "heel" command

You can start by using a toy or food that your dog likes, and hold it at the side of your leg when you're walking the dog (but don't let them jump!) Most dogs will focus on the toy or the food, and will start to learn to walk next to you. Another method that seems to work well for teaching "heel" is using a shorter leash, and whenever the dog begins to pull, correct them and use the "heel" command. Eventually the dog will learn to walk beside you.

Good morning &God bless everyone,I am praying for everyone here,
