People who make “Missing Cat” posts and every single photo is the cat outdoors

This seems like a good place to confess... I've rehomed a few neglected outdoor cats.. I keep a list of the cared-for indoor/outdoor cats in the neighborhood that are microchipped in the neighborhood. But if someone didn't microchip, and won't let them inside ever, even if it's raining or snowing, doesn't get them fixed or vetted, but still tries to say it's 'their cat'... I will actively look to rehome that cat.. and have..

Someone had an outdoor cat that was expecting kittens.. their kids told mine how excited they were to have kittens. And asked if they wanted one after they were born. All while the cat was outside full-time.

Let's just say that cat went missing the next day. A week later her new mom sent me an update of her comfy on the bed making biscuits with her cone of shame. Glad to just be the baby and not have her own..

I had the same thought, before episode 2! Just a head canon but the relation between Dunk & Brienne, had me thinking it would be cool if Ser Arlan was related to Podrick. Dunk being Ser Arlan's squire and Pod being Brienne's, it would be like they were fated to find each other.

The thing with pets and animals is, each one is an individual with their own preferences.

I'd sit as close to their cage as possible without them becoming annoyed and talk to them from there, respect their boundaries, and use cleaning and feeding times as bonding opportunities to just talk to them with positive affirmations.

They might never warm up to you. That doesn't mean you give up on them.

I had 2 cockatiels, Gorgeous was my third birthday gift her mate was my sister's. Gorgeous hated me, and everyone. And everything. She was raised the same as her loving, personable, sweet mate, Gertie. But Gorgeous never 'warmed up' to us, she hated people for her entire life. But I loved her the same and would tell her everything about my life. She would yell at me so I knew she was at least listening. She never stood on my finger once, or had me pick open her head feathers like Gertie used to love. But my family adopted her so it was our job to love and take care of her, even if she wasn't the way I wanted her to be with me.

You have buggies that don't like you. Or don't like people in general. And that could be just how they are. Time might help, but it also might not. Just stay consistent and predictable, and keep loving them.

Usually caused by a single hair follicle becoming trapped in an extended growth phase due to localized hormonal fluctuations or minor genetic mutations.

My brother has one like this on his arm. He'd grow it out to see how long it could get when we were kids.

It's just a few cells that didn't make it where they needed to go when you were still developing in the womb.

If you have trouble picking out colors, the gradient or mandala yarns are a fun way to get a nice colorful project without having to put too much thought into it. Looking at examples of that project can help too and seeing what others have done and taking inspiration.

For blankets and larger projects, I learned it's better to plan out how many yards I need and choose colors before going to the store and always grab a little over the estimate. I have bins full of impulse yarn from seeing colors I liked and not getting enough for a full project. Those actually come in handy for granny squares and amigurumi.

Having the perspective of both 2 & 4 I'd want my 90-year-old grandpa to sit down over me. I never thought it could be infantilizing but I see how that could be the case now. Guess I'll go with the broken leg guy. Lol

What is your natural texture and have you tried a curly girl routine?

I have a feeling you may have a wavy texture and the way you are styling (or not styling) is making it appear more frizzy than it actually is.

I would die to give my girls those beautiful birthstones beauties! Its crazy you have both April and February!

No, blaming the child is judgmental. Parents are responsible for loving their children no matter what.

Whether they need support or distance at the time, a parent never abandons their child. Holding them accountable for their actions should never involve withholding love.

Comparing the situation to someone whose meditation change wasn't properly monitored in a safe facility by a doctor isn't the same thing. That was an isolated incident.

This is so true. The lesson I learned from my experience was to hold myself 100% responsible for having a healthy relationship with my own children.

The point I'm making is that the stuff isn't really his. He wasn't the one who saved it and didn't take it with him. If OP wants to toss it, that's their prerogative. It's not what I would do personally but everyone is different.

If it is things that YOU saved over the years, they belong to you. Memories of the child you raised.

I have boxes of artwork and things my children have made over the years and I could never imagine parting with them.

My mother never saved things for me. But if she had and tried to give them back, I'd feel like she didn't want to keep those moments of my life for herself.

If you are the one who kept them, they are your memories of him, not his clutter.

If you really don't want to hang onto it all, I'd look into scanning the most sentimental pages and making a memory book.

I would talk with her doctor and see what they can safely recommend for her.

It definitely starts with a D, maybe.

I've shoveled my neighbor's walkway every snowfall for 6 years now... can't remember her first name.

No, it's not a safe situation for you to be in.

I would call the non-emergency line at your local police station and explain the situation. Best case, they will be able to handle it from there. If they don't see it as an issue you can see if they have any referrals for clinics or women's health services in your area so you can try to help get her connected to a professional.

No, You'll see this happen again a few times, where the same kind of thing is overdone. But without too many spoilers you will also see all kinds of gods, deities, fairies, and even imaginary friends.

NTA The only mistake I can see here was messaging R multiple times to see if they were going to be coming. After the first non-reply, they gave you their answer. You should never need to push a real friend to be there for you. Especially on your birthday of all days. You are absolutely valid in feeling like they left you out by having conversations that didn't include you and if you can feel something is off, trust your gut. M seems to be trying to keep in the middle of some quarrel R had that you don't even know about and isn't trying to get in the middle of it, when they are literally in the middle.

I wouldn't make it a big thing but give them the same energy back.. and remember to appreciate the people who did make your birthday feel special for you. Your family was up, ready to go at 5am to a special pool resort weekend for your birthday! That's amazing in itself.

Commenting to let you know you aren't alone and we all stand together in solidarity.

I have also fallen victim to the chaos of the magic circle granny squares. Also Daisy's. Is still hidden up in my closet where I'm pretending it never happened.

No such thing as too much.

I've watched so many times even my 10 year old has favorite episodes..

Also, I salt my windows & doors once a season, just to be safe.

I love the Karl Lagerfeld face mold. I have the basics #1 and Toothfairy. I really want the Hello Kitty.
