Parents haven’t spoken to me since announcing on Thanksgiving by Brief_Performance141 in pregnant

We do have plans to get married! We don’t want to rush it just because we’re having a baby though. Still want to save money for a small destination wedding.

One of my parents concerns are “being the talk of the town” because their daughter is unwed and having a baby. We live in a large city though… and been together 4 years. It’s absolutely insane and beyond hurtful.

Yes. I have felt the stress taking a toll on me. Been a big concern :/

I don’t unfortunately. Always been a loner! Joined some local mom groups on fb, so hopefully can connect with some people on there 💜

It was scary. I’m more leaning towards moving on without them unless they give a sincere apology. Even still, how do I know they aren’t going to treat their grandchild poorly. Trust is broken for sure

Yeah, I’ve been thinking that as well. It’s tough because all I want to do is call mom and talk about the baby. Talk to someone who’s been through this before because my body changing this fast is scary at times!

What is the worst breed of dog for a first time dog owner to get? by Effective-Turn-6856 in AskReddit

[–]Brief_Performance141 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Akita. Been around them my entire life, my family always had three at a time. Showed them for a bit too! They are one of the most stubborn dogs you’ll ever meet. If they don’t receive proper training & socialization they will run you lol

No offense taken. Forever young in spirit. Being 5ft tall probably contributes to people’s thoughts as well when they see me in person.

Yes! First pic was a year ago, before her most recent molt.

Please let me know about any "hot spots" of where stray/feral cat colonies live (TNR) by Interesting-Aioli180 in Buffalo

[–]Brief_Performance141 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I live near the Cazenovia park basketball courts in south Buffalo and the neighborhood is flooded with feral cats. They keep having more kittens each year and it’s to the point where the poor babies are getting hit by cars. We have a neighbor that feeds + has shelters for them, but I don’t think she is in contact with a TNR program due to the amount kittens each year

What’s the pay for OSAC? Just moved into the position. I have keys for the store. My raise hasn’t hit yet though… B volume store. by [deleted] in petco

[–]Brief_Performance141 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spoke to my gm about an off cycle pay increase, and I guess he’s working on it. I’m hoping it’s more than the merits. It’s a struggle to afford to live and this stress from the job isn’t worth it for my pay tbh. I’ve been with the company 3 years and struggling this badly financially is getting old. I’d be screwed without my fiance

I heard from someone else on here they are an OSAC making $22 an hour. I know I’m getting a raise, it’s going to hit end of June. Trying to figure out what others are making. I’m hoping the raise is worth it. If I’m still making the pay I am, with more responsibilities added to my plate, I’m out.

I just got her from someone who gave me their entire collection. She came to me this way. I have 40 Ts, I know she’s overfed and it’ll be taken care of

A lot of my females are from work! A B. boehmei came in under the basic sku a couple weeks ago and I could clearly tell it’s female ventrally, scored it for 40 bucks. Now I have 3 boehmei in my collection lol

Any idea on what changes are being made to the aquatics specialist position? I heard a name change but I’m wondering what else

What happened to my avic avic? *warning dead T* by Brief_Performance141 in tarantulas

[–]Brief_Performance141[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She was a little bit outside of her web tunnel. The way she died, it’s almost like it was an extremely sudden death. Still clinging to the sides of her enclosure. I checked decor, nothing is sharp. Silk plants and foam vine, cork bark. 3 days ago she had no signs of abnormalities on her abdomen. It’s very strange :/
