BUT it is someone else's news. It isn't yours to share.</p> <p>This happened to me-- I found out about the birth of a close family member's baby by someone else. Simply because my family member called her immediate family, but then was focusing on the baby for the next hour or two, instead of posting on facebook (understandably!) or calling other friends/family. So the way I found out that the baby was born was by a facebook post from someone in her immediate family. It was pretty crappy, because we are very close and she wanted to call me and tell me the news-- after she spent a bit of time with her new baby. Instead, by the time she called me, I already knew. I was a little disappointed that I found out about such a big event on FB.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/if-youre-at-a-wedding-and-all-of-a-sudden#post-3224628 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 13:18:49 +0000 Rush1986 3224628@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Depends if i know them. &nbsp;If its a friend of our then sure why not. &nbsp;If its a random, probably politely turn him down.&nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/vent-seriously-stop-it/page/2#post-3224627 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 13:18:43 +0000 pigzfly 3224627@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>This thread is fantastic!!</p> <p>I found most bridal magazines to be just ridiculous - some of the dresses were so (in my opinion) hideous AND combined with these crazy poses. &nbsp;As mentioned above, the worst is catalogues of dresses with no pictures of the back!!</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/puppy-has-abandonment-issues#post-3224626 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 13:18:05 +0000 Mrs.Argentina 3224626@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Small crate with towel or sheet over it. White noise or t.v- some kind of background. Def practice it and monitor before you try leaving for real. A bored dog can pull towels and sheets through the cage and strangle themselves.</p> <p>Also lots of exercise!! At least one long walk a day plus play ( ball, frisbee, something interactive) also consider mental exercise ( working for treats, doing commands,finding things, etc etc)</p> <p>Also picking up the pup when going by dogs is a bad habit. You are reinforcing the fact that there is a problem and raising her up. Try to keep moving. Even if she has to just plant it and sit. Lift her tail up. Don't baby her either. Also try enrolling in an obedience class so you can get her out and socializing. Dogs= fun</p> <p>I have a German Shepherd who is a velcro dog and does not like to be left alone anytime outside. They are pack animals, so isolation without feeling safe like in the cave aka crate or a common familiar place causes panic. You could try hanging out with her outside and also feeding her there to help neutralize the area. </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/puppy-has-abandonment-issues#post-3224625 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 13:17:52 +0000 bellebride25 3224625@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Terriers like to be part of the family! Ours had a difficult time being separated from us, at first, as well. What worked for us was moving his crate to a more heavily-traveled area of the house. We moved it from the basement (where it was conveniently located next to the back door for potty time, but not near where the family "hangs out") to the kitchen. Once in the kitchen, puppy could see us while in the crate and, thus, did not associate the crate with abandonment.</p> <p>Once we moved living situations, there was not enough room in the downstairs "living area" part of our home for the crate. Now we keep it upstairs next to our bed. Puppy associates the crate with bedtime, or quiet time, and we rarely have a problem anymore. I think the biggest thing is just making sure the dog associates the crate with positive things, as opposed to with being abandoned.</p> <p>Another tip- try feeding the dog in the crate at meal times. another happy association to go along with crate time.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/bees-that-have-italian-greyhounds#post-3224624 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 13:17:44 +0000 Ms Hedgehog 3224624@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I noticed you said you don't like the "hair" dogs because they look like mops...</p> <p><img src="http://bios.weddingbee.com/pics/112341/DSCN0607.JPG" /><img src="http://bios.weddingbee.com/pics/112341/DSCN0436.JPG" /></p> <p>This is an example of my super sweet (and HIGHLY inteligent) Snorkie. Schnauzer/Yorkie mix. She doesn't shed and we keep her coat very short. Infact, in the first picture she was in need of a trim. I only post this to show you that "hair" dogs don't have to look like mops. You can cut their hair however you want!</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/people-other-than-the-new-parents-announcing-babys-arrival#post-3224623 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 13:17:40 +0000 bells 3224623@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I agree that births, deaths and marriages shouldnt be announced by anyone other than the immediate family.&nbsp; I dont at all understand why other people rush to mention stuff like that on facebook when the birth parents havent even announced it yet.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/help-we-hate-the-best-mans-girl#post-3224622 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 13:17:39 +0000 TwoCityBride 3224622@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>If you like him, tolerate her, who knows if the whole group dislikes her she may decide not to come. I think being that they have been in a relationship for over a year it would be rude to exclude her.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/ring-soldering-pics#post-3224621 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 13:17:35 +0000 Puggie 3224621@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I soldered mine bc i have prong set side stones with two wedding bands and the turning made them yellow faster (white gold set). Also it used to annoy me that everytime i turned my bands righside up that it would make a clicking noise and feeling. It was like nails on a chalkboard.</p> <p>I like it...but i do want something that i can wear without a huge diamond...so i may get a cheap eternity band to wear sometimes. &nbsp;It did make it a little tighter...which for me was nice bc i am always cold and the engagement rign would always turn. So now it still turns, but not as much. Plus...all my side diamonds are always lined up now. &nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/why-the-vday-hate#post-3224620 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 13:17:33 +0000 Rush1986 3224620@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I dont hate it. &nbsp;I just dont care. &nbsp;It's a made up holiday. &nbsp;And you should show your SO you love them every day not just on the 14th of Valentines. &nbsp;Thats all. &nbsp;Even when i was single i didn't mind Valentines.&nbsp;</p> <p>I guess i just dont see the big deal.&nbsp;</p>
