Awwww this hits hard I'll always remember the German shepard from when I was a kid she had such a gentle temperament.

I saw a video on YouTube showing how to use them for knitting gloves, you can still buy plastic versions

If anything I have the opposite with my garmin watch that shows my heart rate. I've gotten used to seeing what my heart rate does just before I have a panic attack. This has really helped me 'catch' myself before it happens and calm myself down. I've not had one for over 2 years.

Here in the UK we have a shortage of builders electricans plumbers etc, mainly because my millennial generation couldn't get trained, there was a focus on only taking on experienced people, with apprenticeships seen as old fashioned, so very few offered them. In fact apprenticeships have only come back in the last 15 years or so in a big way because the government subsidises them. The thing I remember vividly were a few newspaper articles talking how lazy my generation were, when we were literally cut off from decent employment opportunities.
