Tell them you will call rhe police vice squad. Don't worry about these scammers.

you mean their vice manager ? theyre even saying that their involved the police in this

I started going out with my husband when we were 15 (me) and 14 (him). About to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary soon :) It just depends on the couple.

You probably helped him more than he (or you) realise.

This may have been the first time he's mentioned it at work, It's very hard to start healing if you bottle everything up and pretend nothings changed.

It also goes to show that you care. You asked about the dog you haven't seen in a while. You wouldn't have asked if you didn't care.

Don't feel bad.

Funny enough, dogs can learn to "speak" too. There's a pretty neat piece someone did on this old professor that was teaching his dog a buttload of words (can't remember the exact number), there's also Bunny the talking dog.. which prompted me to get the buttons for my dog. Once it clicked for my dog that he can "verbally" communicate what he wants (for a few things), he abuses the shit out of the buttons. Anyway... that was all to say I have something sorta relevant that's mildly interesting to add

I’ve been calling him Early Bird. I think the y softens the rl. I was hoping someone would come up with something better, but I’ll probably stick with Early Bird. :)

yep

Early is the pretty clear answer here. I don’t know if the old notion that cats respond better to names ending in a long e sound is a myth or not but I stick to it with my cats and it works for me.

Couldn't make out 50% of what you said, but it's a SCAM. Tell them you will contact vice if they keep harassing you.

This is so stupid.

Communication

Safe word

Aftercare

It doesn’t irk me at all! Where is that coming from?!

Yeah, that’s why I figured they’d really like this one, and probably why I enjoy it so much too. The story is just so clever and addictive to watch.

E.G.

>Any suggestions for nicknames that sound enough like Earl that he won’t be too confused?

Early.

Yes, he eats a chip, but does he TAKE A POTATO CHIP, AND EAT IT!!!!!!!! There’s a difference.

If you're halfway, you're definitely far enough that you could finish it in a day. I say do it today and start talking about it at dinner

How about "Al"

Honestly I’d just make up a bunch of other things to call him, like “Early” or “Greyboi” and never call him the name you hate, only variations of it that still provide the reinforcement you’re looking for. Sorry your cat turned out to be named something you hate. Maybe it’ll change as he starts showing more personality, or you’ll grow to hate it less.

So I guess “whirl” is out.

Look, if this is distressing to you, just try explaining it again to your daughter and find a new name together.

My cat was named Talia when I got her (a name I have bad associations with). It took about a week, maybe two at most, for her to understand that her name isn’t Talia anymore, it’s Riley.

nah not a fu, in this situation the kids see YOU as the embarrassed one so no harm done! They probably have a laugh abt it with their family

Yep, you done goofed. The name's adorable, your daughter's in love with it, and it really does seem to irk you. Good news is you only need to live with it for a decade or two.

Oh hang on, that's URL, not Earl.

Gahhh!
