It's much more expensive to be poor now than it used to be!

Its a lot easier looking at a beautiful person these days and not feeling a bit of jealousy knowing there is a decent chance they would vote for fascism. in c/showerthoughts

I do believe that Republicans have a higher ratio of blondes and cat haters. Not sure if those things are attractive.

Thank you for sharing! I talked to a friend about 3d printing on Tuesday, saw the cardboard cutter here Wednesday, and then ordered my first printer that afternoon. My Ankermake M5c arrives Tuesday. I'm super excited but i know nothing, so these 'how I got started' posts are very encouraging. I see people talk about Tinkercad. How is it? As someone who is completely new and not a tech person, is that the easiest place to start? Once i get the hang of printing patterns i find online, i want to make scary face parts for a pumpkin (think Mr. Potato Head) and spiral notebook covers with funny sayings. It doesn't matter how bad the pumpkin face parts are - they're just going on my porch for a couple of weeks and meant to look weird. I think the only hard part on the notebook covers will be getting the spiral holes correct and getting 20 made by Christmas for my coworkers. Sorry for rambling - I'm just excited and clueless and found your share encouraging. If i make a post asking people to share pics of their first items/ideas, would that be annoying?

It's Saturday, what have you watched this week? in c/[email protected]

[–] Today 1 points 1 day ago

On season 5 of Grimm. We've been pretty dedicated, trying to watch two episodes per day, and I'm kinda ready for it to be done.

Do you donate money? How, why, why not? in c/asklemmy

[–] Today 4 points 1 day ago

I check administrative and fundraising costs. 90% of my donations are local organizations that directly impact my community, mostly the food bank, animal care and shelters, and school or student groups.

Yeah. I gave Kamala $46.50 the day Biden dropped. It was my first political donation (even though I'm old) and i was pretty excited about it. Now i get at least 4 emails per day. I finally started unsubscribing today. Seriously, I'm voting for you, but you're gonna need to back the fuck off.

When you post shit like this, you're damaging your own credibility, not his. You have $$$ and a staff! Do better!

I know people will say anyone, but realistically, if you could hand pick our next President, who would you choose? Who do you think could win?

I got a good deal on some pecan and i was planning to use it to build patio furniture. I don't know much about pecan and I'm having trouble finding much info about it. Is this a good wood for outdoor use or should i find an indoor project for it?

Cleaning out my mom's house. I hate to trash things that may be useful to someone else and some of it's probably worth some $$. I've used Facebook marketplace a couple of times. I've heard of OfferUp and LetGo but haven't used them. Where will i get the best response and $? Should i just pile it all up and do an online estate sale instead? TIA. Also, if anyone has done this and has any general tips, please share.

Have you ever scent trained a dog? Do you have experience with a blind pet? (self.asklemmy)

submitted 3 months ago by Today to c/asklemmy

14 comments fedilink

My 10 year old pup is going blind. We've been in the same house for most of her life and she's doing ok, but I'm worried it's going to get more difficult for her. She's not the smartest, but she can sit, lie down, and shake on command. I've read several articles about scent training but would like to get tips from someone who has done it. I'm thinking of using 4 different scents for bed, toys, stairs, and food/water - i know she can smell the food, but i want to make sure she can find the water bowl when she's outside. Is that too many?

One article recommended marking a path on the floor/ground so she knows where there's a clear route. Another suggested marking furniture/obstacles so she knows where to avoid.

If you have any experience with this and can offer tips, i would appreciate it. Also, if you want to share any happy stories about your VI pets, i would love to hear them. It's heartbreaking to see her misjudge the doorway or bonk into things.

Have you ever been asked to participate in a political poll? Do you know of anyone who has?
