Re: Off Topic 2010

Well, worked sucked.

The two Red Bulls I drank (one at 10:45 at the start of the shift, one at 5:00 when the dinner shift started and I realized I'd be there awhile) helped, but it was too busy to have a chance to work on either of the two girls.

Though, I didn't find out dumb-as-bricks brunette is more than likely single and the blonde is easy and is still "flirty" - for lack of a better word - so that shouldn't be too hard if I feel like going for it.

And now that the Red Bulls are wearing off I am incredibly tired.

Re: Off Topic 2010

Man, when I was trying to help keep my roommate's dog from peeing in the house, I have to admit the only method that worked was swatting his *** when catching him in the act.

I had read a bunch of articles online detailing what to do, such as buying specific carpet sprays that do not contain ammonia, since it's the ammonia smell in their own urine that makes them "refresh" the scent.

I tried ignoring the dog when he misbehaved... didn't work. I tried a suggested method of putting coins in a small container that would make extreme noise when rattled, then violently rattle the container when he was bad... didn't work.

I do understand that dogs can't comprehend their errors if not caught in the act, so rubbing their face in an earlier stain does no good and they only think you are being randomly cruel.

So I tried something new ( I have a lot of time on my hands ), and decided to somewhat "stalk" him at night after she (the roommate) had gone to bed and watching him was up to me... I was playing a game and noticed he was getting a drink at his dish, I walked up to the edge of a couch where he always peed and stood motionless. Sure enough he turned around after getting his drink and flipped his leg up to squirt on the couch, I jumped out and yelled at him "NO! BAD!" and spanked him (honestly not very hard, he's a small dog and I'd feel awful if I actually hurt him), and he looked up at me with absolute terror in his eyes. After that, he seemed to figure it out.

But then we moved to a different house and basically the very first night he peed on her brand new couches, possibly to mark the new territory. She caught him in the act and swatted him and yelled at him, it's been nearly a year at the new place and he hasn't done it since. I don't know why, and maybe this is only specific to this particular dog, but the only thing that seems to work is spanking his rear when catching him in the act.

Re: Off Topic 2010

Are you sure that's the word you meant?

Those shock collars do hurt! (If they are the same ones used on those fence thingies). While in college my roommate got one of those things and dared me to shock myself. HOLY **** THAT HURT!!!!!!!!! WOW! I thought it would be annoying like a static electricity shock, but it was painful like if you accidentally put your finger in a live electrical outlet. I only shocked my upper arm, but for a good 4 or 5 hours afterwards, my hand and wrist were spazing out on me. Man that was not one of my more brilliant ideas. lol.

There are a number of variables you need to first consider. First and foremost is that dogs have a coat of fur that insulates their skin. Second, did you just rest the contact point against your arm as it would rest against a dogs neck or did you press it on your arm? Finally, if the bare skin of your arm was even the slightest bit wet from sweat then that would have amplified the effect of the shock.

Re: Off Topic 2010

So i'm VERY pissed and happy at the same time

I'm happy because I got POTG honors and got the "Bring the wood" bat (which is really aluminum...) because I "called out a guy and pancaked his *** for the out-of-reach TD". Not my words, but our Linebacker's. idk. I just remember hitting him and looking to see if our HB got the TD. (We were in a power I with our Tackle over, 2 LB's, a DE, and a HB)


...mad because we beat a team that went winless in district last year (and beat a 2A school because 12 players had swine flu) and lost to, say, the Eastern Michigan of LA 5A football only won 27-19. Our goal was half a hundred. The sad part? It was 21-0 at halftime.

But I have Sonic, which is really my school's most prominent tradition behind the alma mater.

Re: Off Topic 2010

NEVER Physically punish your dog, It is unnecessary and downright cruel. Hell you can easily train a dog using no Negative punishment, by withholding praise that would be punishment for the dog.

I might've remembered that part wrong but at least I had the concept right to a degree.

Re: Off Topic 2010

A good disciplinary action for dogs is to get a squirt bottle, fill it up with water, and spray them in the face when they are doing something wrong. It is harmless yet effective


Unless of course the dog in question enjoys water being sprayed in its face (yes this happens) and will try to eat the water

Re: Off Topic 2010

Add some white vinegar with water to that squirt bottle and you got yourself a sure fire way dog training tool. You don't even have to make contact with them, just the smell alone in the air drives a dog nuts. Vinegar to them is like the human version of being skunked.

Got to the point now all i have to do is pick up the bottle and my dog will walk away and sit down somewhere. Squirt bottle, the one that can mist is the best kind.

It will stop a dog from barking, jumping, chewing, getting on furniture and anything else they don't suppose to do. My dog loves water but he don't like being mist at with a squirt bottle that is for sure.

Well guys, this is probably my last post for a week. I'll be heading down under, so I will probably be relatively incommunicado. Take care, everyone.

Re: Off Topic 2010

Australian football is on my espn2 and espn classic. Not a different game, the same one.

Feel free to answer the following questions:

1. Why is Australian football on tv?
2. Why is it on two channels at once?

Geez, what happened that 2nd half? At least your guys got the win though. Also lol at the aluminum bat for "bringing the wood".

I believe we have a new Eastern Michigan of Washington football up here. Through the first 4 weeks, the team has been outscored 266-0. They just got beat tonight by the second worse team in their league 64-0. It's pretty sad.

Meanwhile, my old high school ended up winning 35-0 over the #10 team in the state. Possibility they could be #1 in the state next week.
