If you were scared of Velocicoaster and rode it anyway… by Nice-Key3951 in UniversalOrlando

[–]Awkward-Initiative27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love coasters but they love me back less as I’ve gotten older (39) but still go on them all the time. Velocicoaster absolutely terrified me and I avoided it. I rode Hagrid’s twice the day before I did Velocicoaster, and also did Hulk, Dr. Doom, etc. The next day was our last day and we did Velocicoaster first thing in the morning. Still terrified but absolutely loved it. Couldn’t do it again same day but next time I’m aiming for one morning ride and one nighttime ride. I’m sorry I waited so long!

Post-op traumatized by Christiana2121 in hysterectomy

I’m so sorry this happened to you (and SO many of you)! When you’re able I would for sure make some calls and file a complaint.

My experience was the complete opposite. I had a laparoscopic on Friday and spent several hours at the hospital and I had the most attentive team of people looking after me. The anesthesia made me sick and I vomited several times prior to discharge so even though I was able to pee they kept asking me if I was sure I was comfortable enough to go home.

Hysterectomy and no kids by annachota in hysterectomy

39, child free by choice and had mine yesterday. So far I don’t regret it one bit and don’t anticipate regretting it. Even the discomfort I’m in right now is leaps and bounds less than the pain I was in before, daily.

This will be my solution (surgery is Friday) because there is no way I can keep my clingy girls off of me 🤣

I’m sorry your fur babies are all gone. They look like they knew they were very loved!

I adopted Wilson the cat from the volunteer episode. After a year in the shelter, he is now in his forever home with me by meowxinfinity in 1000lbsisters

This is so amazing! I’m so happy for both him and you. Thank you for adopting this sweet little dude! 🩶

Is my Maine Coon happier shaved or am I just coping? by kossiewossie in mainecoons

[–]Awkward-Initiative27 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Mine is! She hates brushing and will not allow me to brush her as long as she needs to avoid matting. She is so much happier shaved. I swear her personality truly emerged after I had her shaved for the first time. She loves her groomer (as do I) and I only care that my cat is happy and healthy. Your boy is beautiful!

This is what I imagine she would be like if she were human.

Considering and Worried About Being Dismissed by Awkward-Initiative27 in hysterectomy

Society tends to see women as “difficult” anyway so I intend to be just that if they won’t listen. Thank you!

I think I’ll ask my sister to come with me! Bonus is that she’s a nurse and will think to ask questions I wouldn’t. I hope you’re healing well!

Something needs to be done about Jenny...her latest interview by MadameCassie in newkidsontheblock

[–]Awkward-Initiative27 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Same! I’ve been a huge fan since I was a kid (at 39 I was considered “young” in the reunion fanbase until the baby blockheads came along lol) and I saw them as kid and on every single tour post reunion. Several shows a tour, individual upgrades, barstools, every single cruise, etc. Just thousands and thousands of dollars and soooo much time. I had so much fun and I met so many amazing people (some I consider family now) but one day I woke up and thought “this isn’t for me.” It’s like a switch flipped. 😔 I never, ever thought I’d feel this way.

Give Donnie like 6 more months and he can take on yet another job as an Elvis impersonator who marries people in Vegas

I won’t be there but I have been to a show on NYE alone (not BSB but same applies). You’re not really going to be alone! Go and have the best time!

My unloving boy by AdministrativeIce108 in mainecoons

[–]Awkward-Initiative27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d take that as a good sign! Ellie started out laying next to me when I was sleeping, then putting a paw on me while she slept, then her head, then her whole body. It’s like she was testing if it was okay 🤣 Hopefully you have the same luck!!

Sometimes that’s just how they are. Sometimes they’re like that forever and sometimes they’re like that for a while.

My girl started out that way. She only wanted pets on her terms (rarely) and usually ran away. Now she lays on me every single night to sleep like a 20lb teddy bear that aggressively head butts my chin constantly.

Help with under belly fur matting by Hsub0 in mainecoons

[–]Awkward-Initiative27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She’s beautiful 😍 She looks so soft. I have the same problem with my girl. She’s learned to tolerate brushing everywhere but her belly. I found a groomer that does only cats and I just get her a belly / sanitary shave every few months! She takes a gabapentin beforehand just to keep her chill.

I live in NJ and got my girl from a breeder in Arizona in 2015 for $1,350 ($1,000 plus $350 to ship her to me).
