Almost all the time when a dog is alone and barks it's because of separation anxiety. They want company. It's not hard to train them to stop it, but it takes time and patience.

We're on a acre with a lot of trees. We have a lot of squirrels due to a couple of the trees are walnut trees. Our Redbone will tree them and start bawling, but if I open the door and tell her to hush, she'll stay at the tree but won't make a sound. Train them when you first get them and life is a lot easier.

what grinds my gears right now is wbb player Britney Griner getting out of jail sooooooo early when she clearly broke a law with drugs being brought into a country that were against the law. me and several coworkers were talking about this today and saying how if this was just some normal jane doe and not a high profile person that they would still be in prison. pisses me off seeing celebs get treated different than us nornal john or jane smiths

Stopped at a McDonalds this morning. Ordered a breakfast burrito and a large mocha. Got to the pickup window and see the mocha is already being made. Clerk hands me the burrito and asks me to pull into a penalty box saying it will be a couple of minutes. I say "No thanks, the mocha is right there." She gets pissed walks over, puts a lid on it and sticks it out the window without a thank you. I said "Thank you very much and sorry to ruin your day". The icy stare burnt a hole right through me. lol

Love that you referred to it as a penalty box haha.

Never takes a couple of minutes, either. Wonder what her deal was, how does it benefit her to make a customer wait and add more uncompleted orders to her queue?

That Harbaugh was on the verge of imploding last offseason, recruits crappy and is in the CFP. That grinds my gears.

(I do like that he has the balls to put some moral beliefs out there in this politically woke and correct society. Thank God for ND's ACB - she is a major screw you to the Woke Crowd.)

"Stopped at a McDonalds this morning."

First mistake right there

My Friday morning ritual:

A warm, buttery sausage, egg and cheese biscuit. A large fountain Coke.

I sit in artery-clogging, diabetes-inducing bliss at my desk for 15 minutes while perusing IE, before I have to *actually* start the day.

Then my gears are grinded consistently by almost everything about the automotive industry.

Not sure what his crappy recruiting from this cycle has to do with them making the playoffs in 2022-23, they're roster returned a lot of production from last year and the B1G was an absolute joke this past season.

We'll see how they do in the playoffs.

You paint such a pretty picture, that's poetry right there

Based only on what I see at the gym, Gen Z is dressing themselves like it's 1987 all over again. Dudes rocking mullets, short shorts (appalling), Champion hoodies, and high top sneakers. This group of 20 somethings together looked like a scene from the breakfast club. I don't really care, I just don't understand why.

Of all the bullshit verbiage that shouldn’t get to me but does,… damnit THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A BONELESS WING!!!! Enjoy your nuggets you fucking five year old
There's a great spot in SE Michigan, Detroit Wing Company.

Every time someone mentions buying "boneless" from there, I have the urge to kick them the fuck out.

Are “boneless” wings, wings? No
Do they taste like wings? No
Would they satisfy a wing craving? No

Are they still delicious? Yes

I have to revisit these damned reaction videos that are the new hotness... Some video of someone explaining something on one side and the person posting the video on the other side giving over-the-top shocked face to it all... I guess I shouldn't hate bc they have to be making money or else these things wouldn't be in everyone's damned feeds but all they are doing is posting someone else's video with a side-by-side of themselves getting all wide-eyed. Of all the stupid shit that could become popular and make people money,....

Exactly. Two separate cravings. The false name doesn’t offend me.

I’m still a sucker for Bdubs BOGO Boneless Thursdays every now and again. Great deal, good sauce variety. Takes me back to the glory days, going to $0.25 boneless wing nights with my teammates after walkthroughs on Thursday nights. $10 for 20 boneless wings, a Pepsi, and a tip was super affordable for a high school kid lol.

My boy Baker is a bust

My team did get beat up north by all three yalls

And my QB prob did that shit with those dolls

I’m still standing here saying, “Fuck the lame ass Bengals.”

My greatest sin as a football fan in general was dying on the hill that Baker was the best QB for Cleveland. I thought his attitude and “refuse to lose” bullshit would be exactly what they needed… I’m so sorry.

Now excuse me while I watch Burrow compete in his second-consecutive AFC Championship Game.

This is spot on. I have multiple fantasy football drafts at Bdubs every August/September and these trips basically satisfy any "craving" I have for Bdubs. Go there twice in a week or two span and I've had enough.

I always tell people who give Bdubs a ton of shit: it's really quite simple. Their wings are cheaper than the good places, and considerably lower in quality. You get what you pay for. If you are in the mood for $15 frozen chicken nuggets with adequate sauces, Bdubs is fine.

if you're in the mood for WINGS, I wouldn't recommend going to Bdubs. Their traditional are like chicklet wings compared to the places worth going to.

Amen, I never get real wings at Bdubs lol.

Almost any neighborhood bar or burger joint is better in that regard, not even considering legit places that specialize in wings.

It’s so,… idk man,… seeing some idiot play someone else’s video and just give shocked face for their own clicks,… rubs me wrong
The 'net and changes in culture have definitely opened up some odd business models. OTOH, I guess it's better than them being unemployed (and unemployable) and living off the public dole. Does make you scratch your head at the number of people who'll pay for such nonsense.

One of the craziest Internet/weird-money-making schemes I've heard of was actually a bit on a TV show, but I'm sure it's not far from the truth. On an episode of Law & Order, the detectives went to an apartment looking for a female college student who had supposedly been selling her used underwear online. When they got to the apartment, there were a bunch of old women there. The cops assumed the girl they were looking for was one of the women's granddaughter. Nope. The college girl didn't exist. She was just a fake face & name to advertise the used undies. It was the old women who'd put them on, rub them around on their hoo-ha's, then sell them, falsely claiming they'd been worn by the young, pretty, and totally fictitious college girl. That scene made me laugh.
