Dog is 8 or 9 and sadly we have to get rid of her. Had her for six years, kind of bummed but we got lucky this time. The one bite was two inches from her eye. If it helps at all, pretty much this exact same thing happened to my younger brother when we were kids when he tried to give the family dog a hug (bite right next to the eye and everything) and he turned out fantastic long-term.

Besides some bruising and the stitches I don't think it will be any long term damage. My five year old is taking it like a trooper and thanks to Zootopia she understands that the dog "went savage" and has to move to a home without small children.

BrianS81177 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Made it through the first thanksgiving without my dad. It really didn't sink in too much because I had to go to work right after dinner (stupid black friday midnight sale bullshit) and worked a full week's worth of hours over the 3 day weekend, so that helped a little. It was a little harder on my mom and sister, because they weren't as busy as I was but they're handling it ok. I think we've all moved past the point of "so sad you immediately tear up" and are more in the "sad, but still able to function" realm. I'm pretty sure Christmas is gonna be hard on us though. Thanksgiving was never that big a deal to us, but Christmas was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanksgiving was never that big a deal to us, but Christmas was. When my wife's dad passed a couple years ago every holiday was rough for them the first year or so. Even if the other days were relatively fine, the first Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Year/etc. without him led to somber moments for sure (New Years was especially rough when she heard his favorite song at a restaurant) It does get better over time, but it's sure to be a rough one. Best wishes to you all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabe Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Dog woke me up around 4:30 or so this morning. I rubbed my eyes to help wake up and, all of a sudden, my left eye felt like it was on fire. It felt like I had something in there that wouldn't come out. Worked on it awhile, flushed it, and so on. No joy. Went back to bed, hoping it would feel better after sleeping some more. No joy. Another 30-40 minutes of working on it. No joy. Decided to go to urgent care, called in sick from work and called my mom (man, it's nice having her live 3 minutes away now instead of 2000 miles!) to give me a ride. Got seen right away and they had me do an eyesight test. I covered one eye to test my bad (left) one. Nurse asked me to read the 7th row. I started laughing - couldn't even read the TOP row. Got checked out by the doctor who did some black light testing. Diagnosis? I have a scratched eyeball. Bad news is that I still have discomfort and cloudy vision though I can read for short durations (maybe not enough to work yet). Good news is that it's not a serious scratch and should fully heal in a day or two. Just have to use some antibiotic goop on my eye that gives me green poop. Lovely.

Ryan Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 At least you can read with the one eye when need be. You probably had something on your finger as small as a piece of dirt or your finger nail itself is enough to do that. Unless it was some cruel trick by your dog. Plotting for months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabe Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 That would be the cast doing the plotting The eye is much better, I'm thinking I can work tomorrow. It's been weird missing work when I "feel fine". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Sad to see so many folks going through rough patches lately. I hope that everyone is doing better. Things have been a bit stressful for me too lately. My very significant other's son was in a car accident last week (he's fine) and her 2006 Toyota Corolla was totaled. As of Sunday, she's now the somewhat proud owner of a 2016 Nissan Rogue. She's been going on and on about a new vehicle for a while now and now that she's got one, it is setting in that we've got yet another expense aka her auto loan payment and that has thrown a bit of a wet blanket on what should be a pretty festive occasion. I'm happy that she has a vehicle she can rely on, but all she can think about is that she has yet another thing to budget for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 My girlfriend was in a head-on collision yesterday. She's hurting, but ok. The car is totaled. Actually, I'm sure both cars are totaled. The other driver had to be at fault. My girlfriend was traveling through a green light and the driver across from her didn't wait to turn left and turned right into my girlfriend's car. So we got that going for us...

Ryan Posted December 1, 2016 Author Share Posted December 1, 2016 Thankfully, she's okay Craig. That's all that really matters. Hopefully whatever you have covers things. Now, back to talk of Chief Wahoo's Misophonia about Jewish women and Pakistanis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBaltimore Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 When reading Jerome's post about Misophonia i thought initially it was a cover-up for something else. Quick Google search shows it's a real thing, certain sounds do attribute to that. So if that's a real thing then that sounds like a pretty bad way to go through life.

My wife has a slight case of this, with her it's just the sound of people chewing food. The more tired she is, the more sensitive she becomes to it. So if we're watching tv late at night, there is no chewing while fast forwarding through commercials and no crunchy snacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 What is that effect where you see a word or phrase that's new to you and then all of a sudden you see that same word or phrase in multiple places? I had that yesterday with Misophonia. I saw the post on here. Then throughout the day I probably saw that word in a few other places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted December 1, 2016 Author Share Posted December 1, 2016 It's not very well catalogued or studied pyschiatrically/scientifically, but it seems to be a real thing. My friend gets it bad if you're smacking your lips when your chewing to the point she'd have to leave the room. Other things trigger it too. No one's really sure how to classify it.

Ryan Posted December 1, 2016 Author Share Posted December 1, 2016 Yeah, that's what he's thinking of. When I first heard of the worst misogyny used regarding Eminem about 16 years ago or so I saw and heard the world all over the place seemingly for a few weeks. Not in regards to him, just general use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Yes, you definitely cannot or SHOULD NOT just call the President of Taiwan. That's idiotic. But people have told Trump that it's stupid and he's endangering everyone. So this was his response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted December 3, 2016 Author Share Posted December 3, 2016 Is that common public knowledge? Also, yes it means you shouldn't take the call if you value diplomatic relations with the biggest country on Earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
