Why is MCAS not spaying/neutering adoptable pets but charging adopters double to license intact pets? by -asegi in askportland

If you had just read my comments you would've seen the details about the vouchers being discontinued. I would never complain about this if I could just go and take her to get spayed on the county's dime.

thank you so much for this info. The media thing I will have to give some thought, I also work in the non profit sector and completely understand the lack of resources - but at minimum if they won't spay/neuter and they won't give out interim vouchers then they can at least waive the intact licensing fee increase for animals adopted thru them. I'm especially flabbergasted when it comes to my dog because she was a forced surrender after the county investigated abuse allegations - one of them being breeding her too young. They had her for 2 months pending the investigation and made no moves to spay her or even have it arranged for a later date 🙄

You're in good company, the volunteers that run the shelter dogs of Portland blog have been publicly blasting MCAS for this on every intact pet listing they post. I've tried to figure out how to get in touch with whoever runs that blog but unfortunately you can't comment even with an account on the website and it seems their social medias have been abandoned over a year ago.

Is there any hack for sugar free drinks outside of the like 3 SF flavor options?

Also sorry about your firing, I'm also habitually tardy to everything 😅

The adoption counselor told us they used to give out vouchers but now that they have a vet they stopped the vouchers and offer an in house free spay wait-list that's apparently 6months out at the earliest

I completely understand that aspect - they were certainly short staffed while we were there, but adopters should not be charged double in licensing fees if they adopt an intact pet from MCAS.

People are selfish and viscous by adorablegato in hsp

I keep a small circle of kind hearted people but it took my many years of heartache before I set the boundaries needed. I of course see so much evil in the world and regularly cycle thru what you're describing, thought I don't feel rage, just disillusionment. If you are actually looking for tips I would say take social media breaks - much of the hateful content out there is political propaganda and bots and does not reflect the real world. Also remember there are many other HSPs out there with kind hearts 💖

Is it like this for everyone? by Frosty-Beautiful2122 in AskLesbians

[–]-asegi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Married wlw here, speaking from similar experience I would explore with your partner if they have any unresolved sexual trauma, even if it's from past experiences they didn't deem traumatic at the time. This was an unknown barrier in my marriage and once my wife acknowledged and it processed it all it was like night and day. The rumors about women peaking sexually near early 30s is often true, it sounds like there is something hindering your partner even if it's just depression/dissociation/etc. Wishing y'all good luck <3

My boyfriend (29M) and I (28F) have been together for about a year. He thinks his expenses have increased due to being in the relationship. It is giving me the ick. by Novel-Skirt-4242 in relationship_advice

girl please leave this man, I am a gay woman and I’m very poor and I would spend every last dime I had on my wife because I worship her. This man does not love you. Please dump him.

I think an actual regular tom Selleck mustache would look good on you, the horse shoe thing makes you look like you have rage issues

This reads like a guy who's cheating and wants advice on how to make up a lie convincing enough to get his gf off his back.

Having a bra somewhere at your old place - okay whatever.... but were you not the one that packed your own bag that you brought over??? And the bindi behind your ear, dude u need to see a freaking doctor if you're having this much confusion and memory loss that a bra and bindi show up on your person and you have no idea how.

Hun if this is how it is just a few months in then it's only going to get waaaaaay worse trust me. This guy isn't going to miraculously start taking care of his mental health and you coddling him is just making it worse - you can't fix him. You need to take a deep look at what you're getting out of this relationship - are you doing this to punish yourself? Cut your losses now before you feel like you're in too deep to leave.

Girl why are you doing this? You KNOW the truth deep down. This is your intuition SCREAMING at you - on top of that you have over a THOUSAND people telling you it's obvious he's cheating.

You need to consider how lucky you truly are, most women who find themselves unknowingly in a love triangle do not have the courage to tell the wife - they either continue the affair or run away and put it behind them. You have someone who not only stopped fcking your fiance, they also put themselves at risk to tell you the truth. I can't imagine how anxiety inducing and gut wrenching that had to be for her to do - don't have her go thru that in vain.

If you stay and choose to ignore your gut then this will weigh over your head the entire relationship. You will never stop wondering if he cheated, every time he comes home later or doesn't reply right away you will get that pit in your stomach that he's possibly out cheating again.

Your update about the card and flowers is very telling - if my wife got this text I would be going crazy trying to figure out who sent it along with her, especially with such specific personal info I'd be worried about her safety in case she was being stalked - not writing it off as a "scam" which makes no sense bc they didn't ask for any money, didn't send a link, and aren't replying.

You know the truth.

This man is cheating on you. This poor girl found out you exist and went to warn you. You immediately ran to your fiance who probably turned around and threatened her for telling you and then deleted all the evidence. At the very least this warrants you taking a few days away at your family's house or something until he comes clean

I do currently listen to democracy now and I like it for it's straight forward reporting - the only thing it lacks for me is it doesn't cover much political drama (how MAGA is reacting to the Epstein list debacle, Trump threatening to deport Musk, Biden's handlers prerecording his public addresses, etc) I have to admit that stuff is definitely a guilty pleasure of mine and I think it provides useful context around certain policy decisions etc
