    I don't do it any more but I got great pleasure out of ripping out the pages of my leaving cert copy books and flushing them down the toilet a dozen pages at a time... Very therapeutic.

    When you do, and I hope you do, I think you'll probably wish you'd done it a lot sooner :). Either way, I hope you feel better soon.

    Children sometimes need to be disciplined too. Would you recommend the same method?

    How could you even compare disciplining a dog with a child? Not many would discipline kids with an airsoft gun, but then again, not many would discipline them with a shock collar, either.

    Not many would use then with dogs either.

    Dogs feel pain in the same way humans do.

    Considering the link between animal abuse and human violence I think it's a valid point.

    It's completely illegal and in my opinion anyone who thinks such behaviour is acceptable is disgusting.

    And there are disciplinary techniques involving mild pain used to rid bad behaviour in dogs (the aforementioned shock collar, high-pitched noise emitters) that I don't think are anyway appropriate to be used on children.

    Would you mind linking such studies? I'd be very interested in taking a look at them.

    I wouldn't use anything that would cause my dog pain. If by high pitched noise emitters you mean a whistle I do use one of them. I dont think it causes her pain though.

    Please tell me you have his email address? If you do, You can reserve garden sheds in Argos with it, he'll get emails telling him his garden shed is reserved and ready for collection!

    I don't have his email address sad to say lol that would have been brilliant tho. Reminds me of going to work one day when I lived in the UK. Driving along minding my own business when suddenly this big huge fecking seagull flew straight into the front of my car. He was obviously a kamikaze seagull cos I was going pretty fast and he hadn't a hope. I just kept going and got to work . Got out and started picking pieces of seagull out of my headlights and bumper and so on still very much in shock. One of the bosses came out and asked what was up and noticed the flurry of white feathers stuck to the car. He was quite sympathetic and headed off quickly. I ran into my colleague who used to be with the police for years and asked him would I get I to trouble over killing the seagull. He laughed told me no I'd probably get a medal .

    Made myself a cuppa and turn on pc. . Opened my email to find every one of the gits working in the company had sent me pictures of seagulls and those who couldn't find pictures of seagulls or were too lazy to look sent me pictures of pigeons . The boss had ran in breaking his hole laughing and told the whole place.
    I was known from that day onwards as The Seagull Slayer . B@stards whole lot of em lol

    Thank you so much. The only person I could talk to is my brother but he's planning his wedding so I don't want to bother him with my problems.

    When I was a kid we went to a Lab on a school science field trip. In a bizarre sequence of events I got bitten by a radioactive hamster. I now spend two hours a day running on a treadmill and can gnaw through plasterboard. I often wish them feckers had been experimenting on spiders.

    Tell one person, and you will feel instantly better. A problem shared is a problem halved. Its more common than you think the person you choose to tell may have suffered a bit too but you may not have realised. Plan to do little things that make you happy and the big things eventually fall into place.

    There is something wrong with you if you think shooting with a pellet gun is appropriate discipline for a dog.
    A dog is not a human and cant be compared on the same terms. Sometimes pain as a form of discipline is necessary in keeping an animal in line. This bloke didn't have any other option and it got results.

    I'd be more bothered you didn't tell me if I found out. That's what families are for. I've two siblings both with depression and I'd kill them if they never told me. You need to share this with someone. Is there no one you feel you can tell?

    It's probably a competition thing and she's only too delighted to be texting the ex because it means she's going to have one up on the sister as he now wants her instead.

    2) I like to torment my neighbour who is not very nice by posting him hundreds of pictures of garden sheds with no note or anything. Just the pictures. I hear him talking about them to other neighbours and its doing his head in that he can't figure out why he is getting them or who us sending them lol shhhh don't tell him I want to get another month out of it at least lol

    I like your style catkins.... Tell me a little more about how you do this..... Do you post them by mail?, whet do you get the pictures from?

    Just thinking I could something similar :)

    Genius. I will use that idea in some shape or form in the future to prank someone :-)

    Corporal punishment was once considered appropriate for children.

    This is just revolting.

    I could not care less, just like the neighbour couldn't care less how his animals are effecting the people living around him. I tried, believe me I tried everything I could to talk with my neighbour about the dog barking situation.

    After 4 to 6 weeks of asking him to do something about it he just said that I had to talk to the property letting company.

    When they couldn't help me I took action.

    But hey you spend 48 hours out of 72 hours working, get home at 9am to a dog bark constantly until till dinner time you WILL change your tune pretty quickly.

    Wouldnt you?

    If you have their mobile number its even better. They get a text telling them to check their email. So they don't think It's a mistake with the email. I like lady shavers, garden sheds, anything playboy. Tis gas.

    I have to say, I know you feel. I'm going through similar issues myself but, like you, I can't open up about them for a variety of reasons.
