Pitbulls love to maul small children. why the fuck do people own these ugly, hyper-aggressive, dangerous animals. Like as a society we just get rid of pitbulls, like why is it the "dog" in all these stories are always pitbulls: they are literally bred to be aggressive.

And mud in the spring

Came here to say I've done this when the reg expired 😂

Looks like wiscasset

Ignorant ass people downvoting this. Sorry our family's reality doesn't fit your ignorant narrative.

Nice one!

I'm surprised at that, regarding your pup. I've worked at multiple shelters and they usually go out of their way to NOT say pitbull, for a list of reasons. My experience would say the exact opposite of what you have stated regarding "most shelter dogs".

Mardens.

My parents got a great deal on a scratch & dent stove at The Major’s Furniture Store in Farmingdale. It had a big scratch down the side that was hidden by the counter after installation.

I remember going to a WWE show at the auditorium in the middle of July...It had to have been 90+ degrees in that building...

>you’d see that I’m in no way against trans people.

You want to go against modern medical consensus and deny trans people basic medical care.... all because of some deranged political agenda.

Essentially you want to murder children by denying them medical care because you don't think trans people should exist.

And in your twisted mind you have convinced yourself that you "are in no way against trans people". Lol, what a joke.

>No, there is not a consensus that kids must be provided gender affirming “care”. There’s not even a consensus that the earth is round,

There is medical consensus. There is also scientific consensus that the earth is round.

Pretending "there is no consensus" because of a few extremist outliers is ridiculous. That isn't the definition of consensus.

>How is saying “kids should be comfortable in their own bodies” tryin to kill them lol?

Oh? Do you also want to teach young boys they shouldn't go to the gym to get more fit?

Or is changing your body to fit an ideal only bad if trans people do it?

You are really deranged enough to believe you have "figured out the answer to trans treatment".... and that it's just a matter of body positivity? LOL, fucking hell, what a lunatic you are.

Dude, you need to call the medical boards that determine best practices for trans treatment!!! Tell them you have discovered the answer!! All it took you was a few minutes of randomly pulling bullshit out of your ass!! REVOLUTIONARY!! hahaha

>Sounds like your the one putting the idea in their brain that if they don’t transition they can commit suicide.

You are a joke. You belong in the circus with such mental gymnastics haha. You can't even come up with coherent rational arguments..... this is really the best you have? hahahaha, how pathetic.

That’s your privilege certainly, and I’m not here to criticize. I would however say, that you should be careful not to exhibit a panicked, petrified demeanor around a dog that approaches you or your child, or it will very likely make the situation worse.

Most shelter dogs get labeled pit mix if they have short hair and any kind of pit feature. Heck, my very clearly a yellow lab mix was labeled as pit mix when I got him. So, just something to consider.

I will say, Maine does have a big problem with off lease dogs that owners swear are friendly and elderly people with dogs that are just too energetic for them. I’ve had my dog snapped at a few times now by untrained dogs owned by elderly people 75-80+ who just cannot control the dog. And, unfortunately, I think a lot of people are also adopting dogs from shelters, and shelter dogs tend to be more challenging and can have unpredictable pasts. I do think people end up with aggressive dogs from shelters that were not forthcoming with the behavior of the dog. I say this as someone with two shelter dogs (not pits before anyone downvotes). They are not aggressive but they are high maintenance dogs that needed a lot of socializing and training, and their personalities were not what the shelter had described.

If I got a dog again, frankly, I’d adopt a puppy of a predictable breed. There’s also an issue with these rover and dog sitting apps because anyone can become a dog sitter because they like dogs and need money whether or not they have experience with training dogs, which, clearly, can be really dangerous.

Not a bad idea. I'm currently in Virginia, from the deep south. Taking some time to explore places I've never been that I think sound cool, Maine being one of them. And yes, I can do exactly what you suggest and take the tentative route, thanks for the reply.

I was quoted 1k in the past and as I said in the post I split the subsidized and unsubsidized costs in your op. Plus not everyone has two kids in daycare at the same time. The number isn't crazy but even if we go with a full 1600, no subsidization for two kids the budget works. It just gets tighter.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks.

Those are real numbers so it's a bit wild to say they are unrealistic.

I grew up with dogs so I personally don’t have a fear of most breeds. When it comes to children though, I’m extra cautious when big dogs are near. You just never know

$300/mo for student loans? $1000/mo for daycare? And you say I'm the one throwing out unreasonable numbers?

My sibling was bit in the face by a lab. Almost got their eye. People assuming all labs are ok isn't great either.

My aunt and uncle had a similar issue with a lab. It bit my sibling in the face. Then bit two more kids and a grandparent after that. But because it was lab, the rescue just assumed it was good to go.

$1k a month for daycare?! Where do you think you would find that? For two kids I was paying a little over $1600/month.

It’s crazy how many assumptions you’re making and wrong assumptions at that. If you stopped being so blinded by hate you’d see that I’m in no way against trans people.

It’s not possible to be a woman if you are born a man, you can look like a woman and talk like a woman and act like a woman but you will never fully be a woman. On the other hand anyone can be gay. According to science males are males through and through, from our bones, to our faces, to our genitals. In order to fully be a woman you’d have to change all of that and it’s just not possible. However, if you just want to be called a woman that’s totally possible, I have no problem respecting what someone wants to be called

No, there is not a consensus that kids must be provided gender affirming “care”. There’s not even a consensus that the earth is round, so it’s crazy you think there is a consensus around something with a lot less data and research. The reality is there are SOME doctors that believe it’s acceptable for a kids to undergo these treatments.

How is saying “kids should be comfortable in their own bodies” tryin to kill them lol? Sounds like your the one putting the idea in their brain that if they don’t transition they can commit suicide. Sounds like you’re the dangerous one, suggesting kids kill themselves if they don’t switch genders.

Yep. Pretty much agree, except right now there’s no official law regarding removing snow from cars in Maine. Personally, I carry a “Snow Joe” roof rake for my car. Has a rectangular dense foam pusher on one end of a long pole. Takes maybe five minutes to get everything off. Our other car has an extendible brush/squeegee with a scraper on the other end of the pole.

But it’s common sense. Not just for the hazard you present for others but for yourself when that ski hill atop your car avalanches over your windshield when you stop.

My wife and I leave the house at 630. Hence the 4 hours. If this guy thought it was working a typical 9-5 he might have been right, but im not.
