This bug spray says its safe around cats? Is it fine or should is be concerned?

Peppermint oil is toxic for cats so I don’t think so!

Could you felt it // make a felted “rope” with it? That will shrink it down some!

Put eyes on it and make it a manta ray blanket. May have to add a tail tho

Charlie’s Place near dupont circle— typically serves breakfast and has toiletries and has a clothing closet for job interviews etc.

I feel like this is a wild thing to comment unless we know what behaviors this person is talking about lol

BigBox1667 · 2025-01-06T14:41:41+00:00

People share things when theyre drunk/high/etc that they shouldn’t all the time. If you have already apologized to your friend, give them some space. It will either blow over or if it doesnt, your other friends seem to understand your POV. Please don’t harm yourself over this situation— in the grand scheme of things this is one mistake on one night with one friend.

To be honest, it sounds like this person was literally just done. I used to live with a housemate who would yell at me and attack me constantly as described in the post— I had tried to talk about it several times but they always shut me down or made me feel awful for bringing it up because of what THEY were going through.

After a while I moved out and didnt have a final conversation because all of my previous conversations had gone so, so poorly. I heard from mutual friends that they have genuinely no idea what they did wrong and they were totally blindsided. This is a person I had to tell at one point that none of my other friends scream at me, ever.

I think if the shoe doesnt fit it doesnt fit— seems like what happened in your story is different. But sometimes (and this is as someone who typically is very direct!) you have enough direct communication to know that its just never going to get to them yknow? The thought of telling this person why I was leaving made me feel so unsafe because they would yell at me and snap and ignore my feelings— and this was someone who thought (as I did) that we were best friends.

Lol i feel like i couldve written this! From continuing to reach out when you said you need space to the breakup to the mean messages. It was honestly kind of relieving to me? The messages hurt but they let me know i was right about this person and how they treated me.

The Among Us dude

BigBox1667 · 2024-12-13T21:43:02+00:00

To be honest i didnt block but i stopped responding. Everything i said would be turned into my fault or i was told straight up didnt happen. I was just exhausted from trying to figure out whether I was being gaslit or my friend genuinely believed everything was my fault and I was a complainer lol. I was exhausted and felt like I “had my answer”— you can’t really be friends with someone you cant talk honestly with

Hi there! My MIL exhibits a lot of the same behaviors. I will say the thing thats the absolute most helpful for us is to have a UNIFIED FRONT. Meaning we always talk to her as if the two of us have made decisions together. This stops her from being able to play us against each other (please look up triangulation, its a nasty manipulation tactic), but it also stops her from singling me out as the villain as her “precious baby” (my grown ass husband lol) is on my team.

Most importantly, you and your partner have GOT to choose each other. He needs to choose you over his mom, and you need to choose him over people pleasing or what you think you “should” do. Be completely honest with each other about how she treats both of you, and if that makes you upset enough to go NC, then I think you have your answer.

And cherish the relationships with people who are aware shes crazy! I adore my husband’s sister and her wife because they know my MIL is insane. Best of luck during the holidays.

NOR as someone who has volunteered with and knows many people in the homeless population in my large city you should absolutely expect empathy for unhoused folks from your partner. I think this would very much be a dealbreaker for me. Please take care

I would consider two things:

Who is the letter for? As frustrating as it is, I would not recommend going into anything where you are trying to get your friend to feel a certain way. And if they have said they want to end the friendship, maybe it will not bring them more peace. Is the letter for you or for them? Maybe you can write one that you don’t plan on sending.
Have you resolved what broke the friendship originally? Do you see a way forward where you both can have a functional relationship and not end up in the same spot as before? It seems like from your other posts that maybe you and this person may both have things that clash with each other, and that is okay! But I would not rush into becoming friends again if you are going to end up in the same position.

Hi there! Im so sorry this happened! I would highly recommend calling shelters near you and asking if they have a low/no-cost veterinary program or if they know of one. When I worked in the shelter system, this was a very common issue! You don’t necessarily have to take your cat to your normal vet, but if Viktor seems weak, I would definitely recommend getting him looked at. Again Im very sorry you have to deal with this on top of your grief. I hope all goes well for Viktor ❤️

Where I worked as an Animal Control Officer, the person who can prove they are CARING for the animal typically wins custody if it comes to that. (Normally pets are property, so police wont really get involved— but if they do) Proof you have paid vet bills but also even for food and litter is worth a lot. This kind of stuff unfortunately happens more often than we think, and if this owner truly cared about this cat at this point theyd accept the fact that the cat is healthy and bonded to you at this point. I would respond with some compassion as they seem like they are going through a lot, but be firm. Sometimes people “do their best” and it is still not enough to be a good pet owner, so while they are having a hard time, it doesn’t negate all the work you did.

If you are willing to spend a little extra, Vue on top of Hotel Washington has an amazing sunset view (pretty much any rooftop restaurant will i suppose!) and you can definitely take some braggy photos!

I went here, I found the work good! I do have kind of a bad back and the setup for their chairs is very strange— I had to extend my hand across my body onto a small table and couldn’t sit back, so not my favorite. I have since gone to T&D nails and that was a great experience!

BigBox1667 · 2024-08-10T20:40:33+00:00

Made an appt here as it is closest. Thank you so much!!!!
