What puppy should I get?
So I have been wanting a puppy for a long time and I've never had any pets when I was younger and I am an only child. I've always wanted this companionship with a pet and to raise them myself. I've decided to get one puppy. I will love the puppy with all of my heart and am very excited to finally get one haha
I'm having trouble deciding which breed I want, a few of my options are:
Bichon Frise
Corgi
Golden Retriever
Dachsund
Shiba Inu
I've done a lot of research and these are some of the dog breeds I am considering as a first-time owner, what do you all think? If you have any other suggestions please let me know as well!
I'm so excited y'all -
Those with executive functioning problems, what has worked and STAYED with you?
I was admitted into the psychiatric ward and was subsequently "diagnosed" with Aspergers. I placed "diagnosed" in quotations since it is ongoing. I also have ADHD. I really really REALLY struggle with executive functioning. I really suck at sticking to things and my surrounding areas fall apart quite easily if I do not stick to shit. Like, say I am supposed to clean every Sunday. For some reason or another, say I went out to eat with my friends for brunch instead of starting my cleaning schedule on Sunday morning. This results in me not cleaning for sometimes weeks because I find that I am unable to get back on "task". It is the same for grocery shopping. Technically, I am supposed to go every Friday night. If I don't, I could spend an entire month just ordering out and struggle to actually go to the grocery store. It is very annoying and frustrating. You may ask why don't I just pick-up what I was supposed to do on the following day? Because of my autism, I can be quite rigid and... -
Confused About My Sexuality
So for the past year I have had absolutely no interest in men at all. Then about six months ago I started working with a trainer at my gym who is a stud. She is so gorgeous and has the most amazing eyes. Anyway, she's married and very happy with her wife. But, she is very flirty. I wrote it off at first as it just being her personality. But in retrospect it felt like more; she was always telling me how pretty I am, kept asking me to maintain eye contact with her (I tried to avoid this since I felt like I could drown in her eyes and totally show my hand), telling me how sexy my legs were getting and how she wanted to see me in more revealing gym clothes.
So she told me recently that she's leaving the gym and how much she'll miss me and I've been crying and a total wreck since she told me.
It's so confusing to me because I don't understand my feelings about this at all. I've never been attracted to another woman, but with her I felt like I was really falling in love.... -
We Need to STOP Doing Black Businesses Like This
It never fails. It’s the same routine every time. A woman posts her lash brand, hair brand, clothing boutique, etc. A flock of birds swoops in once the product goes viral to say it can be found elsewhere for a fraction of the price. The comments shift from praising the business owners creativity, presentation, and overall brand to “omg thanks sis, I almost bought this!”/“wow heauxs really be out here scamming.” Actually, that right there. That’s where I want to start. Where do you girls get off on calling business owners scammers for marking up a product as if you don’t expect them to turn profit on what they’re selling? I’m tired of people being so short-sighted and ignorant when it comes to small businesses. Especially small black business.
I will never understand the gall of a person to see someone building their business from the ground up and say “I bet I can find this on aliexpress/alibaba.” Like it’s one thing to find it for yourself, but to come back to their page and tell... -
Rugs in the kitchen or bathroom, YAY or NAY?
I was watching some Studio McGee videos and I noticed that they tend to add runner rugs in the kitchen and in the bathroom. I love rugs, they make a home look more inviting and are important in interior design as they anchor the space. That said, even though it looks beautiful I would never put a runner rug near the kitchen stove or sink. Whenever I cook there will be some mess on the floor. There is always some bread crumbs, onion peels or rice grains that somehow land on the floor. Then there is the occasional accident, like a raw egg falling ,some milk or oil spilling on the floor. I sweep or mop my kitchen floor everyday. To me rugs in the kitchen are beautiful but totally unpractical.
The bathroom which is often a warm and humid room, seems to be the perfect environment for mold to develop
