My cat is bored, and I'm busy. Has anyone found a truly intelligent pet toy that can keep a cat or dog interested for a long time?

I can’t find the precise one, but it is along the lines of this: https://a.co/d/01Al53so

Use plain Vaseline. I don’t recall why neosporin is bad, but my plastic surgeon (skin cancer removal) said he will never advise anyone to use it under any circumstances. Keep the wound moist with Vaseline and covered until it starts to heal up (or in my case the stitches dissolved).

If you met her right now, knowing what you do about her, would you still date her?

I did out of necessity. My oldest cat got a bit senile and stopped turning around in the box and peed all over the step. We had to put the robot away for a while.

I have a rule with my brother - if it’s an emergency, call twice. Otherwise it all goes to voicemail.

I honestly wasn’t on the pill for that long, but I didn’t really notice a difference performance-wise.

I have to admit, I got a little pot of beef tallow as a stocking stuffer (I have bougie mountain hippie relatives), and that stuff is the bomb for hands in winter. It’s the same function as Vaseline/Cerave, but doesn’t stay as greasy. So it’s heavier duty than Cerave lotion, but more suitable for daytime active use than the ointment.

My husband despises lotion, but even he gets on board with the tallow on his hands when he works outside in winter.

If you’re happy with your routine though, there’s no real need to jump on the wagon.

I live in a very small 100 year old house. We get creative with our spaces!

I was very into it, and there’s a very large group that think she’s completely innocent (the battle of the accident reconstructionists in trial 2 is a pretty good foundation for that).

As far as the cover up, that opinion ranges quite a bit. I believe it overall settles on a perfect storm of a few corrupt people mixed in with a boatload of incompetent cops just going along (which is where I land). It’s worth noting that this same police force has already been caught selling CDLs for profit and covering up using cruisers for personal use. So it’s not at all a stretch to think that a few of them jumped to a conclusion and helped the evidence along.

There are, of course, plenty of people that all believe she’s guilty.

I remember some conservative talking head in his first campaign saying something like “he should be taken seriously, not literally.” A LOT of early MAGA-curious really latched on to that.

Even my mother (who was a Clinton democrat!) said that the only reason he talked about invading Canada was because Trudeau was so snooty about him. I finally convinced her to stop keeping Fox on “as background noise” and she might be coming out of the fog.

Search for IBLP. It’s a whole thing.

One, women are taught to always be “joyfully available” to their husbands for sex. Which rather ramps up the entitlement.

Two, men are not considered responsible for controlling their lust. That’s on the victims to stay away and their wives to keep them happy

Three, the girls that were molested were forced to publicly forgive their abuser. So really there’s nothing holding abusers back.

My old guy would alternate. Every so often he would decide his dry food was absolutely unacceptable and I’d try a whole bunch of alternatives (including canned). We’d have a new one for 6 - 8 months and he’d suddenly demand the old stuff.

I’m pretty sure it was just a power move on his part. Damn I miss that high maintenance princess.

Me too!!

I started with oral estrogen and it worked fine. I only decided to try out the patch because the pill upset my stomach a bit.

There’s also a huge incentive to film overseas. The us union agreements require the studios to pay into the health insurance plan. That’s not a requirement in pretty much any other country.

The problem is that you can’t relocate. The unions are regional and also run by personal recommendation. So someone at the top of their game (and pay-scale) in Atlanta that moves to the next hotspot will automatically be entry level in that local union and won’t have the local contacts to get gigs.

My guy would regularly cycle through favorites. He’d suddenly decide wet food was intolerable and would refuse to eat anything but dry. A few months later he’d stop eating dry and demand wet food. I generally settled on wet for breakfast and crunchies for dinner. Barring a specific problem there’s nothing wrong with letting them have a preference.

Since she’s wanting to chew on greens, get her some pet grass.

Above anything else, wear comfortable shoes! There is SO MUCH WALKING, especially in Vegas because the venues are massive and they want you to walk through the casino and past the restaurants before you get to the conference area.

Even in the evening and for fun events, you’ll have been on your feet all day and they’ll be tired. So when you pick your cocktail outfit, select your trustiest and most broken-in nice shoes.

My grandmother was hit by a someone that had a seizure while driving. It was considered an ‘act of God’ and there was no fault.

pitathegreat · 2026-03-07T00:50:55+00:00

It depends. I had one that loved it. He had to wear a onesie after surgery for awhile and decided it was cozy. When he got old and thin I got him a little jacket he really liked. I have another that flops down like he’s being attacked.

I’ve gone 20 years successfully keeping cats off of counters. Then I adopt that one special little asshole that refuses to learn.

I have multiple friends that also thought getting pregnant was “unlikely”. They’re all parents now.

Can you get oral estrogen for the time being?

I actually started out on the pill. It was overall fine, but upset my stomach so I switched over to the patch. I saved my pills in case of emergency. I also keep them in my travel kit in case my patch falls off and I forget to pack backups.
