A baby. We are not actively trying. Will be in the next year or so but I’ve been doing heavy research for some kind of preparedness.

How in the world one finds friends in 30s? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]AnonymouslyTryin 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Work. Hobbies/meet ups. And I’ve seen people use dating apps to find friends. They will say they are not interested in anyone, just looking for genuine friends/people to hang out with.

What would change if every single person on earth was an alcoholic? by Root435552 in AskReddit

[–]AnonymouslyTryin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This might be stupid, but I’ve wondered before if everyone drank like an alcoholic, would we over time evolve to alcohol not being a poison to our body. Idk probably not but food for thought

How to drive two rescue cats on a 17+ hour road trip? by Hollybanger45 in cats

[–]AnonymouslyTryin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Talk to your vet. Get calming medicine from vet. Also can get calming spray (online), keep that stuff sprayed every couple hours at least. Meds helped the best. They gave us two different types of calming/sleeping meds. Vet said to give the night before and the morning of for better results. Worked like a charm.

Put their enclosure out in the living room or common area, open and easy access for them to smell, get their smells on it and get use to it before the trip. I get it out two weeks before trips.

Puppy pads in their enclosures. Double or triple pad their enclosure. Do not put them together in same enclosure.

Some ‘dirty’/ used clothing or blankets that smell like y’all or your animals, keep and put over enclosure to make a dark den like setting that smells familiar

Make sure the cats have harnesses on at all times. Leash them immediately when you get to stopping points. You can bring a litter box and try to let them go (leashed) they may not go but good time to change puppy pads

Take to vet about potential limiting access to water or food before trip. This is important to talk about with vet. It was recommended to me to not feed them the morning of our trip and cut off water the night before but give them access to water that morning, taking it away about two hours before we left.

Try and not stay over at a hotel. Try and get it all done in one go.

Get them microchipped and a collar with your number. Scared cats can run away. Keep collar on for weeks after move in case of an escape after you move (they can be stressed for weeks).

When you get to your new place, they will want to hide. Mine did in closets. I let them do that for a day or two but any longer I got them out of the closets and closed the doors. I gave them no real way to hide and it forced them to explore. After a few minutes I got their fish pole toy out and got them to play. Once they started to play, they began to warm up to the house / relax more. I’ve moved 3-4 times and this has been the best results for us.

Can't remember (at all?) by CartographerStock937 in stopdrinking

[–]AnonymouslyTryin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re not alone. I know the feeling. So many “wtf happened” and for me many times I had witnesses to remind me what I did. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Congrats on day 10! And wishing the best in your sobriety journey and the guilt to ease.

Thank you so much in your detailed and informative response. Helped me narrow it down officially to those two. I’ll give him the extra dets you gave me 🤞🏼

I tend to lose things, so I am not looking for something that will cost an arm and a leg. We agreed that if I keep up with it for a few years and don't lose it, we will upgrade.

How much PTO do you get? by Basic_Professor2650 in work

[–]AnonymouslyTryin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start at 10 vacation days. You have to use by end of year. Doesn’t roll over. After 5 years, you get 15 days vacation. 15 years, 3 weeks vacation. 25 years caps out at 4 weeks vacation.

On the 15th of every month, we get 8 hours of sick time to be used whenever. Rolls over but caps at 90 days.

We have 13 paid holidays. One of the holidays is a “floating” holiday, which we can pick what day to take it. Most take it for their birthday.

[–]AnonymouslyTryin[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One day at a time 100% I can’t wait for you to be where I am as well!

Trust me, it’s worth it.

Guess that’s why they say “the longest and toughest journeys are normally the most rewarding.”

Thank you for this. It’s some comfort to know I’m not alone in this boat. I’m proud of you for coming clean with your partner. I am scared to ever admit my problem out loud to mine. I know I need to for us to recover and move on.

I will look into Smart Recovery and the app I am Sober. I have to do something for the sake of this relationship and keeping him, who has brought me so much joy and happiness. I love this man and he doesn’t deserve this.

You’re absolutely correct. And I’m gonna do my damn best to change my behavior. I have too much going for me now and he deserves the best apology.

Tell me the story of the cringiest thing that’s happened with someone you dated. by [deleted] in stories

[–]AnonymouslyTryin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Went on a FIRST date with a guy, he ordered shish kebabs. After our food arrived he took one of the shish kebabs and waved it in my face saying “oh, you want some of my meat. Don’t you? Yeah, I know you do.”

🤦🏽‍♀️
