I think there was a british chick that did it too.

Victoria Stilwell. Let me tell you, her methods are both scientifically sound and effective in practice. There's a certain size of dog where it becomes necessary to have them trained insanely well so they don't hurt anyone by accident. I can't say enough good things.

Thats the one i was thinking of. Did she train your dogs, or just a big believer? Seems like a particularly glowing endorsement...

.......Victoria.

I went to someone who was trained by her and uses her methods for a few sessions just to learn, then did it all myself. I was more than a little paranoid because while I've had a lot of experience with dogs, I wanted what amounts to a small bear (Newfoundland).

It changes the level of preparation you need when your dog is 130 lbs. If he jumped up on the wrong stranger and they fell, I'm either sued into oblivion or he's put down. Or both.

For sure, I was just joshing you. As someone who was attacked by a Dobe-rott as a kid, I can appreciate someone understanding that some things are just too important to half ass.

Here's what I am wondering: why the **** can't anything ever just be easy and straightforward? "I am going to quit." "OK b***h, bye." Would that have been so hard? fml

Don't ask me what I'm talking about, my mind is a mess. I'll tell you later. Now I have OPTIONS. I don't want ****ing options, my brain can't process ****ing options. fml
I am so ****ing tired. The only thing that can wake me up is a pizza. And I have a refrigerator bursting with fish. MORE OPTIONS! I get you think this is funny, don't you, universe? You ****ing joker, you're hilarious. I don't want to see you now, but I'll see you next Tuesday, how does that sound? **** off.

This might be the most impressive one way conversation i've ever seen.

Don't cyber bully me, bro. If you keep cyber bullying me, I am going to keep all my Werther's Originals for myself and you can **** off out there and get your own hard candies.
Werther's really get a bad rap. They're fantastic when you need a little sugar but your stomach is queasy. Who doesn't like caramel???

The shitty candies are Mary Janes. Those things always collected dust at my grandma's house. I think they were once intended to be candy but eventually turned into a decoration, then an heirloom. I just looked them up and saw they were still being pumped out by the Necco company along with a bunch of their other foul edible punishments.

I haven't had a Riesen in a long time.

Also, this is a good watch:


Do you know what I did earlier, I went to watch "A Silent Voice" as you recommended, but I realized that I had already seen it - I think I had forgotten because my torrent was called something else, like "The Shape of Your Voice." It's very good, but "Your Name" is miles and miles better IMO.

Honestly, they both their pluses and minuses. I think A Silent Voice hits harder in terms of emotion, but the unfolding of everything and their connection in Your Name is something special. I think I like A Silent Voice a little more because it tackles such a hard and often unspoken topic and does much with it, making you feel every emotion along the way. When Shouka kept saying, "I'm sorry," I f***ing lost it.

For the new thread:

There is this film (live action) called "Himizu" - it's ostensibly about the relationships the guy has with his father and a girl, but the Fukushima disaster serves as a backdrop - I think it takes place in Miyagi Prefecture, which is where Fukushima is - and there's a similar scene at the end that is so great. You should watch that one when you get a chance (if you haven't already), it's awesome. Takes a bit of patience, but it's worth it. Fumi Nikaido is the female lead and I adore her.

I'll keep this in mind. That reminds me, I still need to watch Grave of the Fireflies, but I'm afraid to do it by myself :laugh:.
