| With dogs (no wait, hear me out here), the three big ways to train a behaviour are luring, shaping, capturing. Luring is when you use an incentive (usually food) to move the dog in the direction you want them to move, and then reward them when they do what you want. Shaping is getting them to do a s... |

I played it so much, I ended up with two accounts so I could sidekick myself. My husband and I and a couple of his friends once did a day long session to see how quickl... |

| I have the same 'problem' :) More than once in high school I'd go to the bookstore, buy a novel, read it that night, and return it the next day. Spending $10-12 on a novel that I finish in 3-5 hours just isn't worth it. You could try the library for comics, sometimes they stock them. Or webcomics. S... |

| You could invest in a slow cooker (crock pot). You can usually pick up a second hand one pretty cheap, either from a thrift store or a garage sale (or if your family is the kind to 'donate' to the younger generation as they're moving out, maybe ask for one), and you can even get new ones that aren't... |

| And sometimes the acronyms don't even stand for what you think they stand for. In the earlier days of WoW (World of Warcraft) before the LFG (Looking For Group) system came out and people would advertise in chat for teams for various dungeons, they would usually shorten the dungeon name to its acron... |

| You could probably simplify the decision by answering these two questions: Is there anywhere you would need the dog with you where a non-service dog isn't allowed? Would you need the dog to perform a specific task in order to help you through anxiety attacks etc? Yes would probably mean that you'd w... |

We just made a big pot the other day; all told it couldn't have cost more than $5-6, and there's a good 8 meals (1 large bowl or 2 heaping ladles/meal) in there: 29oz tomato sauce (or tomato puree if you're worried about the sugar and salt) ($1) 6 cups water (negligible price)... |

| HQ in Germany has handed down a mandate that we all must go through this online 'learning expedition' course. It's apparently supposed to be voluntary, but someone somewhere has decided that they need to make numbers go up, and so we are being forced to volunteer. Alright, fine; 2-3 hours of watchin... |

| What is making you worry? The social side, or the fact you are pretending you don't know and keeping that secret? This is one of the things I've been trying to figure out myself. I don't know why it's getting me upset, and that's also getting me upset. So far, I think it's a combination of things. ... |

Thank you for the replies.
I think the reason this is getting to me is because usually I talk through these things with my husband, but given the nature of the situation, he's one of the people I can't talk to about it, and I'm getting worked up. |
