Furthermore, these girls are almost never interesting from a friendship point of view. Teenagers are intellectually and emotionally too immature and I can't stand many them to tell you the truth. I am sure there are those that are very smart and mature even at their age, but I have yet to meet any. My unfulfillable fantasy is someone who is mentally and emotionally at least my age, but remains physically 15 indefinately. I understand that this is not possible.
Here's something. My puppy's going into training to be a service dog (as soon as we find the right place) and I am scared to freaking death to take a dog anywhere in case someone gives me a problem about it. Sure, they have all of the "service dogs welcome" shit, but I don't think anyone really means it.
Well, I was looking at all of the crap you have to buy for Service dogs, and much of it seems to center around trying to avoid getting into trouble with people. Like, vests so it's obvious, patches so it's obvious, even little cards with the laws printed on them so you can hand them out. They sort of set you up for it.
