no they do guide training in spring. they’ll hire you as long as you’re physically fit enough to steer/control a raft full of people.

They pee on themselves enough. Good idea!

You could pee on your children to mark your territory, as peaceful alternative

My living room heat pump will make our large open concept living room, dining room, kitchen area with a cathedral ceiling go from 68 to 75 in under an hour according to the wall thermostat. It is fantastic to have. Can't wait to see how it cools in the summer.

Nah not to fight, just to give the pits and GSDs a good scare. I’m thinking Irish wolfhound for size, I like the idea of some wolf in there for sheer scariness.

You're asking me what kind of dog you should get to fight off other dogs?

If I were to make a wild guess, I'd probably say some kind of wolf/dog hybrid. But I'm not exactly a professional dog fighter

Bad parenting?

How about you fuck right off. One of the best and sweetest dogs we've ever owned.

What is wrong with you people?

Well that's just bad parenting on your end. No better time than the present to fix your mistake!

He stole my plate

Stfu already you only prove your ignorance with each comment

>I don’t understand why you’re calling me names.

Because you are a monster that wants to deny children healthcare, knowing it will kill them??

Like, you literally want to murder children.... and you can't figure out why people might not like that?? lol, what's wrong with you?

Seriously, what ...is....wrong...with....you? Do you stand outside of childrens hospitals screaming at the doctors to not give the kids chemo also? "IT'S PERMANENT YOU KNOW!!! IT'S PERMANENT!!~!!!!!!!"

Haha, your stance is just completely insane. But because you watch fox news, you think it's a reasonable position to have. To just randomly decide YOU are the expert in a random area of child care / medicine and demand kids stop receiving care. All from some batshit crazy political agenda to attack minorities.

"BUT THE CHILDRENS PENISES!! WE HAVE TO SAVE THEIR PENISES!!" Can you even hear yourself? You are OBSESSED.... even after being told that type of surgery is very rare (even in adults). But, again, you've read a couple headlines on fox news....so YOU ARE THE EXPERT NOW? Fucking ridiculous.

Ah yes, SNOW. The finest vanity plate in Maine.

That's 100% not true. There are many reasons why a shelter would try to not use the word pitbull when describing a dog, but it is absolutely NOT because "they know they aren't safe as house pets".

The absolute worst case scenario for a shelter is a bad adoption, for many reasons. Shelters have nothing to gain, and alot to lose if they're having adoptions end poorly.

First and foremost, most of these dogs are mixed breed, so let's get that bit out of the way.

Now, as an example as to why a shelter would avoid using a pitbull label on a dog? Many places (apartment complexes, condos, gated communities) have self imposed rules that don't allow certain breeds, and often it includes pitbulls. So by avoiding that label, shelters are increasing the opportunities for the dog to find a home.

That’s totally fine. You can believe that. I just think that we should tone down the discourse under this post specifically out of respect for the victim and move this discussion to it’s own post. Again I don’t think anyone has done anything wrong, I just think it would be a good idea to discuss this somewhere else.

And go to the site I suggested to see why that data is skewed. There all “pit bulls” because someone said they are.

Did you see the post I was responding to? I was addressing the guy saying you needed $150k to raise kids here.

I know the average Mainer makes less than me and I'm happy to be comfortable with what I have even if I wish I had more. I just used my situation to address the ludicrous idea that you need $150k to have kids here.

I was in highschool in 2005. My debt is a very realistic number for attending a state school and graduating within the past decade.

It’s amazing because all of the data is self reporting. My sister has a dog that you’d call a pit bull if you didn’t know what you were talking about. She did a dna test, has nothing that you’d expect in it, I don’t even remember what it is. But if it attacked someone, it’s a pit bull.

I don’t think they should die. They should however be sterilized and breeding them should be banned.

I'm a full time Maine resident. My income is low for what you see on this sub. Total household income for my wife and I is around $82k. I have a kid still in diapers. Paid for my car in full and my household shares 1 car. We don't like having a car payment. I feed my family for less than that most weeks and we eat pretty well.

I imagine you probably make more than I do individually and if you have a working partner probably more on a household level. Unless your a paraprofessional in education who make a true pittance.

Just because you don't want to believe what I'm saying doesn't make it un true. I've been very cautious with money over the years and I've been good with it.

Maybe post your budget if you can't make what's going on work? Someone could steer you in the right direction.

Edit: I want to add I'm really not trying to be a dick and I would gladly try to help on a budget. This site just tends to believe everything is impossible and there's nothing that can be done to make a situation work when that is often not the case.

Good Eye!!

True, I’m not actually arguing that there’s anything wrong with the breed. Police use them instead of short haired breeds because they’re hardy in cold weather climates also.

I don't have an HSA eligible insurance. We have an emergency fund and have never been in deep medical debt because we can afford our Copayments.

Not everything is gaslighting just because you don't like to hear it. What point is there to lie about finances on reddit of all places?
