It is disturbing the peace if they bark incessantly.

In Reply to: What to do about a neighbor's yapping dog? - going nuts!
We have a bark collar for our dog and bring her in if she's barking. She barks at anyone that walks by, which is what I want because she's our guard dog. Our neighbors aren't so nice. I've gotten to the point where I just lean out the window and yell, "SHUT UP!!!!" I don't like to involve the cops or animal control because our neighbors are the type to retaliate.

Whining incessantly anonymously on a message board is far from "fighting back and standing up for
your rights". Sheesh. That's how silly you all are. Blah, blah, blah on here 24/7 and I guarantee you that's the extent of your yaw. Otherwise, you'd be sharing some pertinent communications you've had with the people who MATTER - like your supervisors, managers, etc. And I don't like change? Sweetie, I go with the flow and have changed with this career every step of the way - starting back typing on a manual typewriter with 8 colored carbon copies and matching colors of "liquid paper" and listening to tapes, and now using state-of-the-art platforms with voice recognition as well. I'm happy, and still love my job. Thank you for your unstated concern! You have a problem with your work flow, dictators, you call your superiors and have it taken care of. If they don't "change" it to your liking, that's your answer - the handwriting is on the wall, so to speak! You're getting what they want to give you regarding work! Pounding your chest in words on this message board under an assumed name is nothing short of ludicrous. and over and over and over and over and over again....ya, ya, ya, cherry pickers, Indians, cherry pickers, Indians....yawn yawn. Ya take up good board space and don't realize how totally FOOLISH you look... snore.... But its your "breath", and your precious energy wasted, so go for it!! Heavens you should direct your complaints to the proper channel!!!!
I don't, but my neighbors do and all it does is bark
yap, yap, yap, yap all day long. Enough to drive anyone nuts. My kids have nicknamed him "Yappy." A woman I work for also has one and hers yaps all day long too.
So if you don't mind the constant yapping, go for it They're still awful cute even with their little jaw flapping. :)
They don't always bark for a reason
Everywhere I've ever lived (and I've moved around like a rolling stone) there has been at least one dog in the vicinity that barked to enjoy the sound of its own voice. Plenty of them bark out of sheer boredom, just like people who run their mouths to fill the silence. Many of them do it when their owners are gone, and behave when their owners come home.
I've had to train all my dogs not to bark. Kudos to people who at least make an effort. A lump of coal to those who don't feel happy without the din of several yapping dogs 24/7. Its noise pollution, give other people a break and train your dogs.
Very disturbing ..
I was hoping it would make me feel better about that whole family situation, but it just made me feel worse
I saw it and it was disturbing.
So My Space is living in the real world? What a concept. I think I'll pass.
Disturbing!
It's totally amazing to me what they get away with. I have another example--Mom was taking care of an uncle's affairs and noted that he was billed for a mastectomy. Not that men never have mastectomies, but we knew for a fact that this uncle did not have one. We contacted the insurance company who responded that they would perform an investigation. After a couple months, we received the response and results of their investigation. They determined that, because the procedure was documented, that they had no choice but to pay for it. We contacted them again and argued that the documentation was a either a mistake or a downright lie, but they kept repeating that the documentation was there, not just a billing error, so it must have happened EXACTLY AS REPORTED. According to them, uncle MUST HAVE HAD A MASTECTOMY because THE DOCTOR SAID SO. Amazing, isn't it?
My husband had a weird sense of humor. But, I sure didn't appreciate it when I found out, after his death, as mentioned in a report from 5 years previously that he had told a psychiatrist that his wife had been institutionalized for 5 years for psychosis. That staff psychiatrist did not bother to contact me to verify the information; he just dictated it as my husband had said.
So, I think it is very important that we obtain our medical reports and make sure that corrections are addended to them.
a bark?? I thought it sounded like a cat!!

That's sad and disturbing all at the same time.
No wonder we're not taken seriously.
Buy a bark breaker from pet supply catalog (sm)
PetEdge (they are also online) sells a couple of products for kennels that issue corrective noises for barking. You can install certain models outside aimed at the nuisance and it might train him not to bark.
I just heard it! Sounded like a bark to me, but could have been a "woo".
Too funny!
warning - this may be disturbing and offensive to some...and then, maybe not...
There has to be some way to convey to you what is on this video. My hope is someone else will also step up and try to answer your questions, as I get very sick to my stomach even thinking of it.
I also do not want to offend anyone who maybe would not want to be subjected to this, you know, who might open the post not really knowing what is in it and then read it.
With a video, you open it, or not, at your own will.
Imagine the chickens you see either on TV or if you ever were around a farm. They are outside running around, spreading their wings...doing things that chickens do instinctly, or naturally.
Now imagine from the time they are born, they are never allowed outside, ever; but are in fact placed in coops the size of maybe the top of your desk, with 9 other chickens. There is no room to spread their wings. They never once spread their wings from birth to death, yet having that desire because it is a natural function and part of their ability to clean themselves, to mate, etc.
Now imagine their beaks being clipped off (the area with most of the nerve endings) with some kind of hot iron type machine, so they can not peck each other to death, like they will from the stress of being in tight quarters.
Now imagine 'chicken' fights, as they are so cramped and upset, fights until death, and the dead chicken just rots beside the others. Maybe the chickens are so hungry from lack of food and water, they even eat it because they have water and food routinely withheld so that they will produce more eggs. Imagine that life for years, never getting out of that coop.
Now imagine after being given growth hormones, their bodies become so big their legs will not support them, so they fall over and starve to death, again, in the coop with the other chickens.
Imagine as they are never able to wash or groom themselves. Imagine being electrically shocked in the metal cages to stimulate the egg-laying...
Now imagine they do not produce eggs so they are now ready to be slaughtered for their meat. They are literally grabbed and thrown violently into the backs of trucks, with broken bones and wings, injured, in trucks extremely hot, for who knows how many hours until they get to the slaughterhouse.
Now imagine being placed on what looks like a conveyor type apparatus, hung by their necks and being wisked by some type of blade that slits open the neck.
I could not watch certain parts and had my eyes closed, but I will never forget the sounds of this kind of treatment/death as long as I live...
These places are not clean, the chickens are not clean.
It is easy to see where the avian flu comes from - we (meaning mankind) have created it by the filth we allow these chickens to live in.
I can not even write about the cows, pigs, turkeys. Is beyond belief how they many times do not even anesthetize the cows before castrating them.
Dairy cows may not be treated so bad while they are producing milk, but a Huge percent of our meat comes from dairy cows who no longer produce milk. Their life may be pretty decent for a while, but it is what happens to them afterward...
I can not even go on...it is a nightmare.
I find it pretty darned disturbing.

You should do as much for peace.
You are rude and immature and obviously not so enlightened. Good luck.
I'm sorry. I was just trying to make some peace.
:(
Peace to you as well. Isn't that what John
was all about?
He didn't care about the money. He just wanted everyone to be peaceful and understand that peace, love and kindness to all mankind was all that would matter.
It's a sad world with all of the hate and anger when there is so much to see and do and be thankful for.
I honestly think that John Lennon would have been absolutely mortifed, had he lived long enough to see all of the hate that has made our world crazy.
Like John said, "All we are saying. . . is give peace a chance."
My hero too, luv him, peace to all.

rest in peace!!!!

All he was saying was Give Peace A Chance...nm
:)
Ah finally some peace!! I guess those
people who kept calling and calling finally decided to give up. Not sure why or what happened, but when I emailed the phone company to tell them what had been happening, maybe they actually did trace it and the people decided to stop. Whatever the reason, I am sooo glad!! Now watch them call- lol!! They were calling 5 times a day. They only called once yesterday. Whew!!
All we are saying is give peace a chance.
may Patsy rest in peace
Thank you for speaking up. I could never understand why everyone wanted to condemn that poor woman. Seems to me that all the people who wanted to condemn her are the sickos.
ahhh finally some peace and quiet, thanks!
s
Why don't people practice peace and love,just
zz
Maybe for a sense of security and peace of mind. sm
I always feel like good things don't last forever and I need a safety net. Weird, I know, but I always have this fear that if something happens to my IC client, I will fall back to having nothing.
Change is always constant in this field.
Does that make any sense?
"perhaps" poster above is right. Peace and Love will lighten your load. sm
I once worked a summer holiday shift by myself and transcribed something so awful that I tear up when I think about it today. It was the death of a 3-year-old, and I got ALL the 5 dictations regarding the course of this little girl. Give me the "vanity" surgeries on holidays anytime. It is not up to us to make a judgement about who "deserves" treatment, it's just our job to transcribe it correctly. The work you transcribed may have been boring, but that lets your mind drift to loving thoughts about your own family and how you will all be together soon. Like the above poster says, turn your mind to loving thoughts, even for the patient you have prejudged, your heart rate will lower and believe it or not, the day will pass more quickly.
Dana Reeves died last night at the age of 44. May she rest in peace! nmsg
