There is a yellow lab in our neighborhood that can and frequently does, jump the 6ft privacy fences. The owner knows this is a problem, and still lets him out unsupervised. I feel like this is considered negligence, because there's a chance that this dog could get hurt. Either hit by a car or end up in the wrong yard with a territorial dog who attacks him. I'm worried about the dog, but the owner refuses to listen.

I am wondering what can be done (perhaps without having to call animal control, but i will if it's needed) in the state of Colorado. Because this pet owner is irresponsible, has other dogs, and doesn't listen to reasoning. He just makes excuses.

I was just sitting on my couch when I noticed that my Samsung S5 phone seemed to have restarted itself. Fair enough. I ve seen that happen before.

But this time is different. When I went to unlock it, my lock screen was back to the original one that came with the phone, and the setting for the screen black out had changed back to 30 seconds and the two buttons, the back and window/menu, no longer vibrate when I use them. What the hell happened??

My friend s boyfriend got tomorrow/today off of work. They re going to a concert.

He got the day off, and his employer scheduled him.

I ve seen it happen more than once where I work as well. Is this even allowed? It seems like it shouldn t be. Especially on events that were asked for months in advanced. and they were specifically told "yeah, you can have the day off for this or that"

I watched it a long time ago and only remember the beginning. She was a jumper for the track team and was practicing. A boy set the bar for her, and she accidentally broke her previous record. Anyone know it?

So I was on one of my regular websites typing out a message and all of a sudden, when I was ready to hit send, my mouse pad was completely unresponsive. I double tapped the circle I would normally tap to unlock/lock it, and nothing. I have the HP pavilion dm3 but this is not the same problem that most users have. Those users can still move the mouse and right click. My computer has also completely changed. Not my background or anything like that. Black and the task bar is almost like an older version of windows (I have 7 or visa, wasn't mine to begin with). I don't know how to fix this, please help

Alright so last year I got a Canon EOS rebel T3i 12.2 mega pixel DLSR camera (that is literally as specific as it gets) and this year for my birthday, I got the "amazon basics" remote that SAYS it works with the Canon EOS rebel body. However I have followed it's instructions to a T and nothing is working. There's no "remote image" next to the things it's supposed to be. I have even switched out batteries too. no difference. how do I get this to work????

As someone who was in an emotionally abusive relationship, it hurts to be told that what I went through isn't real, just because my scars aren't visible. Newsflash, the scars of physical abuse, the ones that people ask to see when telling me that I'm a liar and went through "fake" abuse, go away. Those aren't permanent, most of them anyway. Now I'm not saying that those who are physically or sexually abused don't have emotional scars, they often do.

But the thing about emotional abuse, the thing that I have read that makes it worse, is that it's subtle and happens everyday. I know I honestly wish he would have punched me, I'd rather have felt that punch and wait for the bruise to heal than deal with the deep emotional scars that I'm left with. Scars that may never leave.

But I don't get why people say it isn't real. It's a fact that it is. It's a real form of abuse and a lot of people deal with it. But then people dismiss it and basically add to the situation and make it worse.

So i am 19 and loving at home while I go to school. Every year my mom makes an Easter basket for my step dad and i, but she never gets one. So this year I decided to make her a basket. It probably won't have as much as what she does, but I made sure it's only things that she likes. So I got a people basket, purple "grass", two purple flower clips, a purple stuffed octopus and a while bag of reeses chocolate peanut butter eggs.

Her favorite color is purple. And the candy is her favorite. I also made her a purple octopus for Christmas and thought it would be cool to buy a different one.

But I an afraid of her not liking it. Also for Christmas I learned how to make a ruffle scarf and made one for her too. But all she could do was soot there and complain that it wasn't long enough and that I should have made it longer and given her the first one I made. Trouble is, I have never gotten to keep the first thing I made because it was always for someone else.

I'm terrified that something won't be good enough and shell do what she did at Christmas.

So This morning a radio station that my family listens too had a sale of vinyle records. My mom liked one of the songs and wanted to go. Now we already go and sit out for the stations CD every year, getting up at 5 in the morning and sitting out in the cold (it's practically winter when this thing is set up) and I hate it. But my mom expected me to go, and this morning she told me I had a choice. I had no idea when this thing was starting, where we would be in line or how long we would be there and I had work at 12. So I opted to stay home. Come to find out she's "disappointed" with me because I didn't go.

I wouldn't have a problem spending time with her if 1) She was so purposely embarrassing (yes she does it on purpose and tries her hardest to embarrass me when she can) and 2) she tried to do things we both enjoyed, not just her. But instead she sits there and expects me to enjoy things that she forces me to do or enjoy when she's embarrassing me.

The same goes for my dad. He always wants to take the whole family fishing. only problem is, we all hate it. But he constantly insists. and expects us to enjoy it.

So my question is this: Why is that parents expect their children to WANT to do something that they have no interest in and ENJOY things they are forced to do? Why can't the parents try to find something they all enjoy?

I'm not saying all parents do this, but it does seem like a lot do.

A friend and I have a mutual crush. We just admitted it to each other yesterday. I wish that we could act on it, I know he's a great boyfriend, I've seen him in a relationship.

As great as it is knowing that the feeling is mutual, he has no desire to act upon relationships right now. He wants to put his schooling and other things first. I understand and respect all his decisions.

But my last relationship was so toxic, and this past year after breaking up has felt so lonely, having this knowledge makes thing so much harder. I mean, we were talking with a friend who had walked by and sat down with us, and while she talked, he and I glanced at each and smiled in a special way. It meant something to me.

But I need to move past this crush. I know it won't go anywhere, and I don't want to be hung up on a guy I can't have.

I mean, I am trying to sleep and I keep thinking about kissing him. Or being with him, and I know it can't happen.

So what can I do? I don't want to lose out friendship. It means too much to me, but if I can't move past this crush, I know I will screw everything up

I doubt I would, but I want to if you were me, would you?

We're friends. Have been for a while. But yesterday we both admitted our feelings for each other. However he's unavailable for reasons other than another girl. So I've accepted that long before this moment.

But knowing that we have mutual feelings and that I may never have a chance to actually be with him...I'm so tempted to just kiss him...just once. But I'm afraid.

If you were me, what would you do?

I have a friend that' ive known since high school. We weren't really friends in high school, I think most of my friends, he really didn't care tog et past the annoying exterior right away. But we became friends over summer. That's when My crush developed. But I pushed it aside....tried to anyway.

We also now go to college together and have spent our in between class time just hanging out and talking. And it's nice. I really like having him as a friend. And since he's mentioned that he is really not focusing on relationships right now. I respect and understand his reasonings as well.

But yesterday....he was talking about how he's been distracted lately, mostly by girls. One he had told me about that he just kind of....freezes up around. and then he asked if he could be completely honest with me. And admitted that he has a crush on me.

I both felt my heart rise and drop. I was reading him right, and I told him I understood and that I had been fighting that feeling too.

After out last class (two different classes for each of us) we sat down and just started hanging out. A friend came over and started talking with us. And he and I looked at each other at one point and just shared that kind of smile that gives you butterflies. After the other friend left, he and I just hung out and talked and it was just....nice.

But it won't be going anywhere, and he mentioned that, because he was talking about how hard it is.

I just don't know how to continue now that we've admitted our feelings

Hello. I am working to get certified by the craft yarn council to teach crochet. However I have a problem. I have to make "swatches" of different stiches but I am stumped by the phrasing of one.

"Double crochet, working the first row under

2 loops of the chain."

What does this mean? It makes absolutely no sense. Please help

I want to be a pen pal, but email is easier. Are there any websites that pair people up to email back and forth. I thought it might be nice to be an email pal with someone in the military so they had someone to talk to.

My mother and father split before I was born. Two months after I was born, my eldest brother was conceived. My father spent 2 years of my life avoiding child support. And then it took another 3 years for him to want anything to do with me, and I don't think it was because he wanted me. I think it was because he wanted to make sure his money was being well spent. My mom thinks it's because his wife wanted him to since she didn't get a relationship with her biological father.

For quite a while I was naive and happy to visit. Not realizing that I shouldn't have been. I didn't have a bed for the longest time, then I only an air mattress that my youngest brother at the time used when I wasn't there and then lost that and was back to the floor. Then I went to futons I couldn't fold down into the bed position. When I finally had a real bed they traded for a crappy bunk bed with a desk on the bottom. It was so hot, with such a crappy mattress I ended up sleeping on the floor.

As the years have passed by, I have felt less and less like family. I feel like an outsider. I stopped wanting to visit a couple years ago when they kicked me from my room in the house they had recently moved into, to the unfinished laundry room, just because they couldn't handle my brothers fighting (and yes, that is what they told me). They promised to finish it and then never even tried. I am finally again in a "real" room. Except that its the "game" room, a total mess, and nothing like a place I would call my own because the bed doesn't have my sheets, all my stuff fits under the bed and I have access to neither of my TWO blankets, neither of which has been provided by my father. (Guess I should mention until my grandparents got me a quilt, I never had my own blanket at my dad's or pillows. I still don't have a normal pillow. I have a chair pillow and a beanbag chair...once again neither was provided by my father).

recently I was told I couldn't go visit (not that I really wanted to) because they weren't going to be home. And then I ran into my brother and great aunt while I was at boondocks and she told me about a family camping trip and asked if I was coming as if she thought I had been told. Needless to say I was pissed. When I got home I called him, upset and explained. And he told me he didn't know it was such a big trip and that he and my step mom were getting a weekend alone. So I asked where he and her were going, and they weren't going anywhere. So he lied. (He told me and this is almost an exact quote, "You could come up but you'd be stuck on the front porch step because we won't be home).

But all of a sudden I'm the bad guy because the trip was my grandparents' idea. But He ignored the fact that I mentioned not wanting to go up for a while anyway. The last time I opened up to them they basically tossed aside my feelings and once again they did it and made me the bad guy.

I want to clarify (I had hung up on him because my step mom started yelling and I could hear her through the phone). But I'm afraid of him not listening and her getting involved.
