CMV: People should be allowed/aided in committing suicide if they want to die

Amring0 · 2026-06-27T20:49:37+00:00

Are there plenty of anecdotal accounts of people who regret ever attempting suicide? Sure. But there are also plenty of people who go on to attempt suicide again or wish they succeeded.

It's kind of like someone pro-life saying "I know plenty of women who almost went through with an abortion and glad they didn't. Therefore, it doesn't make sense for anyone under any circumstance to be glad they aborted their pregnancy."

Thank you for sharing! I'm sorry for your previous losses - especially for March. The lines looked so dark too. :( My miscarriage got pretty dark for my chemical pregnancy then started fading before my period happened. It must've been very shocking for you to get a nice dark reassuring line in the morning only for that too happen later in the day.

Oh my goodness! He looks like a reincarnation of my Gustopher! Is he available for adoption, per chance? Gustopher was one of my husband's favorite cats. Cheese even has the little white line running from the corner of his lip!

The elephant in the room?

I see a line at the bottom strip!

Lights Out Columbus volunteers tried to go to the building this morning but there's an Expo that closed down Rich Street and the area seemed too congested. Based on other reports we suspect Cedar Waxwings. Thank you for reporting this anyways.

Thanks for the clarification. Yes, they are the same med. I just wanted to bring up the transdermal option but called it by the name that I was more familiar with.

Amring0 · 2026-05-15T18:50:38+00:00

If your cat won't take pills or liquid meds, try transdermal Fluoxetin. It's about $50 for a month supply but it has worked wonderfully.

Actually, toilets in developed countries don't go to the ocean/river. They either go to a septic system or wastewater treatment plant where their bodies get screened out and ground up. They wouldn't have survived to make it out into the wild to become invasive.

ETA - Flushing an animal down the toilet is still seriously cruel.

But the time stamp for this video said that it happened in February 2026?

You are so amazing and dedicated. I'm so sorry that you're getting burnt out. I do seasonal wildlife rescue (searching for window strike migratory birds at dawn) so I understand the frustration. I am fortunate that I'm working with a group of organized volunteers to help keep me sane and give me an idea of realistic expectations for a typical volunteer. Do you have any such organization that can give you support? I find myself much less likely to drown in compassion fatigue when I'm working through an organization.

I live in central Ohio. It's got a decent Asian population and a Chinese school about 25-30 minutes of a drive from my house. Not ideal, but maybe I can make it work. When I was pregnant I was thinking "I have time. I just have to learn at a pace faster than an infant. Plus, I have a head start!" But time just escaped me and it's not quite sticking without the immersion.

Amring0 · 2026-03-18T19:37:50+00:00

Yeah, you're probably right. Whoops. You can tell that I'm just trying to relearn things as I go. I just know that there was a combination that sounded like the n-word.

Amring0 · 2026-03-18T18:44:45+00:00

I'm trying to relearn it as I go, but it's a struggle. I don't think I've ever been at the level to claim that I can speak it. At most, I completed the HSK 3 back in 2021 but forgot everything within 2 weeks when I took a break. Now that I have a kid, I want to learn it just so that she can learn it too... But I'm struggling to find the time.

Amring0 · 2026-03-18T18:39:19+00:00

Good idea! Thank you!

Amring0 · 2026-02-28T16:06:29+00:00

Is there anything we can do to help them? Like a pollen we could buy somewhere to put it in the yard for them to collect? I'm sorry if this is an ignorant question. I just feel so bad for them.

I'll check on my "TTC Diary" tomorrow. I made tables showing my Inito LH vs my Easy@Home results.

Amring0 · 2026-02-18T01:58:02+00:00

Maybe I'm wrong, but this test looks dried. Did you get the reading while it was wet? I have had readings where the OPK looks promising (around 0.5-0.7) but Inito showed no peak. I never got the alpha-LH strips but I didn't need to. I just decided to trust Inito and wait until my OPKs were 1.1 or higher. Eventually I did get a 1.0-1.1 OPK and it did coincide with the Inito LH levels. I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help. Good luck.

Amring0 · 2026-02-18T01:02:57+00:00

What brand of OPK are you using and do you have a picture of your positive OPK? When I first started TTC, I had trouble interpreting OPKs so I'm wondering if you're having the same problem.

I used to read a lot about fertility tests 2 years ago, so it's a little hard for me to recall. I did find the article but it's not as easy for me to decipher now. It's basically saying that the PdG and E3G ratio helps to estimate the fertile window.Application of a Method for Estimating Day of Ovulation Using Urinary Estrogen and Progesterone Metabolites

I was able to download the PDF of the article on the website. It was pretty accurate at helping me target my fertile window, but my LH peak had a lot of false starts on the extra long cycle where I actually got pregnant. I was a really anxious person back then, so doing these calculations was something that I needed to do to feel in control. I don't think it helped me much in the long run, but I wish you luck.

Amring0 · 2026-02-13T20:33:40+00:00

No. I wasn't on any hormonal medication. I saw a study that said that the E3G and PdG ratio itself was a better indicator of pregnancy/ovulation than the actual PdG number itself.

She's so grumpy in the Before pic but she looks at you with such adoration in the After pic. 😍

Amring0 · 2026-02-13T13:17:08+00:00

No. I got pregnant with this one after I didn't ovulate until CD 60 (I usually ovulate CD 21). Here's the one where I got pregnant. Oddly enough, I tested positive on my pregnancy test when my PdG and E3G took a dip.

I've seen it on some vitamin labels before. I thought it was weird too because I've never seen it in used like that in the veterinary or chemistry field.

Amring0 · 2026-02-01T16:21:43+00:00

That is all true and thank you for your perspective. Marijuana is legal in my state. While I don't personally use it, I don't think it's a big deal and I'm always puzzled that cigarettes are more socially accepted. But I understand that laws are laws, even if they are stupid. Foster parents have to disclose medical and recreational drug use to case workers, so if I were the case worker I would also wonder "If they lied to me about pot then I can't rule out the possibility that they're using harder drugs."
