Guess what? I got a friend who knows someone, right, yeah', and listen to this. She's looking for people, and are always looking for people, for people to look after guide dogs. BUT, and this is the interesting bit, they pick them up from you at any time you want (eg, like when you're off to work) and drop them off any time you want (eg, like when you get back from work). During this time, it's like preschool for the dog, and then after 18 months they send them off to guide-dog uni or whatever it is. All you need is EVERYTHING MY NEW FLAT HAS.
It sounds absolutly bloody perfect for me. I'm going to think about it seriously ovbously, not just jump in, but it sounds great at first glance. It's charitable and if I don't like it, they'll find someone else. I'm not sure if they pay for the food and stuff, but I don't care, I'd sooner not eat before the dog anyway.

I hope it works out for you. And if it's anything like Neighbours, you could end up living with the girl who trains the dogs! Alright, she'll be an ex addict with a psychotic ex boyfriend who will turn out to be the mother of your adopted son, but still...
Our accountant fostered guide dogs. He said it was a great experience.

oooooooooooooh puppies
are very very hard to train if you've never had a dog
it's like a crash course
you should remember that they can probably take the dog away at any time and you will likely start to love the puppy and then omg it's gone :'((

And I know it'll chew through things occasionally and some of those things might be a beloved teddy or whatever.... but the joy I could get from it would be untold.
I would see it like seeing your kids graduate when it is time for it to go... and giving a blind person a chance to see (well, you know what I mean). And I've got the mindset from the start that it won't be forever, so I think it'll be alright in that department. And if I don't like it, or it doesn't work, I give it back and that's that, which you can't really do with a dog of your own.

Start early and go hard. Because I've had my pup for over a year and she's still not where she needs to be, mostly because of the cuddling and cooing and treating her like a princess. It's been hard to break her.

Let me state my case clearly, there has been a large car bomb in an allied country very close to us. At least two people are dead people are still trapped in buildings and it's happening now live all over the internet.
The first thing she says is some vague "ask me for details" post about her and her husband having an argument waaah waaah waaah.
She should be ashamed of herself, it's self absorbed to the extreme.

Now that you mention it, though, it's pretty obvious. I can be pretty dense sometimes.

All those posts above, being flippant and sarcastic, and you have a go at me?
Also, have you forgotten where you are? This is b3ta, the last bastion of irreverence in the UK.
I suggest, if you detest my input so much, you should put me on ignore and shut up about it.

Don't get on your moral high horse cock-end, it ill befits you.
For what it's worth, yes it is fairly uninteresting and you will note no one did actually ask for details, but you being petulant about it even less interesting.
B3th's post also had the merit of sparking a conversation, all be it flippant and inconsequential, which wasted a few minutes of my afternoon for which I am grateful.
I was going to say if you don't like it ignoring it is the best way to make it go away, but then I'm blatantly not taking my own advice, so I shall close by telling you to fuck the fuck off you creepy bastard.
So there.

The flow of conversation here is natural, people talk about what they want. You want to talk about a very important political event as you said, and other people who are into that sort of thing will reply. There is a differance here between B3th and CrazyBatshitAmericaphileCatAbuserPerson, in that she isn't taking over the thread with incestant negativity.
Would you rather she threadstomp and gain more replies/conversation/attention/whatever than your post, or threadjack and allow people to continue your conversation as well as hers? Ok, the awnser is you'd rather her not talk about it full-stop, but this place isn't for any individual but a collective as a hole.

but when she did something I found annoying self absorbed and almost the definition of being a beaker I had a go at her for it.
That's the way I think all of b3ta should be regulated. And yet again she's moved on to calling me ugly rather than actually addressing my point that her post was "fucking shit"

although in strict point of fact you've never seen my arse, so it's possible she was being complimentary, in theory of course.....
But I have, and she wasn't.

Its not just here, generally when you say you criticize something people go off the deep end and start spitting out personal attacks rather than actually making a case

I think it would have been OK to call him an ugly fucker if I didn't actually know what he looked like, the fact that I do, but am not a friend of his put's it in an area that makes it a bit wrong.
You hear that Chompy? I retract any comments made about your face reassembling my arse and formally apologise, I shall endeavour not to do so again.
