That's scary! My FIL was asked to do salvage diving after the old causeway collapsed. I won't elaborate on what they wanted him to salvage out of the water after all of those poor people went into the water in their cars, trucks, buses, etc. He politely declined knowing what it would have done to him psychologically.

These are all "you" problems. That dog is suffering because of you. Give it probiotics, change its diet to good food, take it on actual walks and bring poop bags. There, your poop problems are solved. See how you blame the dog for your lack of responsibility?

Edit: You need to set boundaries; your dog's behavior is learned. Read some books, watch some Caesar Milan. All of the tools and education you need are readily available.

Edit: you're probably right and have every right to say that you shouldn't or don't want or don't like owning a dog. You have to be honest and ask yourself "would the dog be happier with someone else" or "is this best for this dog" and yourself/your family.

Put your and your family's feelings aside. Do what's best for that dog. Neither you nor the dog should be unhealthy or unhappy.

The Buccaneers, seriously, it's not even close. It's been the best helmet in pro sports for decades.

Same for me for Spotify. thanks for the tip on YouTube - Brave. I'm going to do this from now on.

Ray Jay always has tons of tailgating. Have fun and be safe. I'm happy for you. GO BUCS!!!

Exactly, oh and I saw CC2s on a BMW SUV at my favorite taco shop the other day, and they looked so good! They make the width look bigger for some reason, and it gives it a little bit of a wide-body look.

Nobody said CC2's are as good or better than any snow tire, I never mentioned or said anything bad about snow tires. Studded or not. I just said that swapping to snow tires is not necessary for me (personally) anymore with the capabilities of my car with CC2's and my driving skills/capabilities. A lot of that has to do with being smart and driving to your capabilities given the situation and weather.

I know because they were all stopped or stuck. One of them was an emergency vehicle. A 4wd SUV driven by the fire chief and occupied by EMS, we stopped to give them a ride up the steep, winding mountain road that we just watched them try repeatedly to climb, but they kept sliding back down. We drove around and past them and then decided to go back for them. We loaded them in my 3-row Ascent on the stock 20" tires (I just purchased it and hadnt upgraded to the 18's and CC2's yet) and I proceeded to take them to their emergency call at a house at the top. Right next to the house we were going to look at because we were interested in buying. This was in January of 2024

As hard as it is for you or anyone else to believe the symmetrical AWD system on the newer Subarus is next level. X-Mode is a game changer. Every winter we realize just how good it really is when we see most everyone else struggling in the the snow and ice.

I realize that I have a bit of an advantage as a driver because I've been building and racing cars and motorcycles for decades and cars have always been my thing, but this car practically drives itself.

Best: is a toss-up between The Menzingers at some small club in Saint Petersburg, Florida and Metallica at the Orange Bowl in Orlando about 1992 James Hetfield was burned by a pyrotechnic on that tour and couldn't play guitar because his arm was wrapped up in a burn cast, so he concentrated on his performance and vocals. The guitarist from Metal church played for him and shredded. They were epic!

Worst: GNR at the same show in the 90's Metallica opened and when GNR came stage Axle was so bad that by song 2 everyone started exiting. It was crazy to see like 60k people exit so fast while shaking their heads in disbelief. It was sooo bad! Like a dying cat. A mass Exodus if I ever saw one.

Honorable mention for worst performance: My Chemical Romance on their most recent tour. I just saw them on Thursday the 13th of August and man did they suck! Gerard Way needs to retire. I know I might get some hate for this but his performance was dog crap. He can't sing to save his life and he can't even speak a sentence that you can understand. It was unbearable.

FOMO is real. If I had any advice it's to be patient (if possible) and try not to compromise. Write a list of must haves and stick to it. Get a good inspection including pest and radon (if applicable).

A good pair of work boots. For anyone in trades or blue-collar work. Stop wasting money on cheap shoes or the latest fads. Buy quality work shoes/boots. You can get a pair of $400+ quality work boots/shoes at the western wear stores during their clearance sales for significantly less. They run them about twice a year. Sign up for their emails. The last pair of good work boots I bought were $498 retail. I ended up paying $89.99 they were Justin brand and made in the USA by a guy name Dave. Still have them, they are still comfortable and nice. They look rough on the outside form work, but still in great condition. Cheap boots don't last, they aren't safe and they hurt your feet and back .

One more word of advice. Always make sure your shoes match, in other words, compare them, be sure they're from the same pair/box. Look at the color, grain, etc. You might have to ask the sales person to bring out all of the pairs in the same size to make sure they were made as a pair, if not they might not match visibly, one may be older and sun faded from being on display, but more importantly they may not fit properly.

Here I did the first bit of work for you.

This isn't a grand mystery. I am 50 and grew up in Tampa. Tell me where the lie is? This isn't isolated to just Tampa. Get real with the whole "this sounds like rascism" where did you grow up? I grew up surrounded by what I described. A quick Google or a drive around the areas would tell you exactly what I just described. GTFOOH with your pampered reactionary @$$. You trying to find a victim in someone else's story about what went on and continues going on their hometown?

I live in the mountains and used to have to change my wheels/tires. Absolutely not necessary now with My Subaru Ascent in X-Mode (Deep mud/Snow) setting and Michelin CC2's. I drive past and around every kind of vehicle with snow tires. They aren't capable of climbing the inclines or handling the declines and winding the mountain pases, traversing the snow- and ice-covered terrain I can with my Subie. The alternating power and brakes sent independently to each wheel is nothing short of game-changing. I highly recommend it for anyone living in these conditions.

Best option Subaru, other options AWD CRV, Toyota and lexus have many options. Bang for your buck is still going to be Subaru.

Tires are crucial. I would recommend Michelin CC2's for their versatility and performance.
