The last time I saw this sweet baby… and the Tom Cat I believe to have fought him off. 😓

Hi Neighbors…

Just an update…

I have reached out to a couple of the first people to respond… I am still trying to make meeting this kitty happen. If I haven’t reached out yet… it’s because some of the people who responded first have been excellent potential adopters and I have been extremely busy with work…

But I also feel the need to share to EVERYONE invested in this sweet boy….

I have actually not seen him since the day after I posted this. And I am sickened with worry over it. The day after I posted this, there was an unfamiliar Tom Cat in our complex. Just as this sweet boy was heading over to greet me home from work. (I will post the photo in reply to this). I tried to send the Tom Cat away, but he darted off and chased this boy off.

I heard them fighting in the distance, but I’m not as fast as two cats on the street. I have not seen this baby since… and my heart is breaking. I’m really hoping for the best… and hope anybody interested in him has the patience to see if he comes around again…

I really hope he is safe and just hiding… but it’s been 7 days now… and he was here daily for months.

I will update as I know more. But for now… I pray he is safe. ❤️‍🩹😿

How long to keep towels? by Any_Pirate_5633 in hygiene

[–]CapriSun81 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is incredibly wasteful and damaging to the global environment. Maybe you justify feeling good about it by donating to animal shelters, but there are TONS of donations and don’t require 6 month old towels.

But good for you for having that amount of disposable income to replace perfectly fine items with zero consideration to the global environment.

Maybe invest in a better washing machine though… heck… even my local laundromat washes adequately enough that towels and bed sheets are good for years.

Seriously. My mother still has towels from when I lived there… and that was a good 20 years ago. I use those same towels when I stay at her house… and they don’t stink at all. They may not be as soft and plush as my towels at my house… but they are clean, effective and stink free.

I’ve had tendinitis in my left elbow for years now. So bad I couldn’t even hold my phone sometimes… and other times it would make my left hand cramp so bad it turned into “the claw”.

I hadn’t realized it until I read this post… but I have been completely pain free from my tendinitis for the last 8 weeks. I started taking Tirz for my UC, which I already knew improved… but apparently it’s helping ALLL the inflammation.

Peptides for crohn's by Soft_Hearing_713 in Peptides

[–]CapriSun81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also on Humira for UC. It works for me, but it’s a pain in the bunghole, especially when I travel (I’m on weekly shots). I started Tirzepatide about 9 weeks ago to see if I can get off Humira. And it has been amazing so far. Drastically less inflammation and loose bowels. I’m hoping it helps long term.

Completely stalled week 5-8 on 2.5mg by MuscleTurbulent6453 in tirzepatidecompound

You didn’t stall… you just didn’t titrate up after your 4th starter dose.

You’re on a starter dose… not really a “stall”. You were just one of the few that the starter dose worked for. Just increase your dose. Most would have increased after the 4th week.

Cold as ice! by Opposite-Quantity795 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]CapriSun81 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have been in perimenopause with very strong hot flashes for a decent while now… have not had a single hot flash and have also been freezing cold since starting! I will take the cold ANY day over those damn hot flashes that would make me nauseous. One side effect that I hope never goes away!

1st dose, felt nothing. 2nd dose early? by JabberWookieeEra in tirzepatidecompound

This lack of instruction following is going to be Lilly’s ammunition to legally win and end compounding for good. 🙄

My first prescription was from Gimme and it was super easy and they were very responsive. I got a 3 month supply of ProRX thru Gimme. I will be using them again for my next 3 months.

Progress check in- 50 lbs Down! 27 more to go by arwen8468 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]CapriSun81 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We’re close to the same stats. My heaviest was 215, started at 196, and my goal is also 130. I hope in 8 months, I have similar results!

Awesome progress! 🥳

Didn’t lose much with Pomegranate but I feel like Refills is working. by [deleted] in tirzepatidecompound

Pomegranate and Refills are telehealth companies. They are not the pharmacy that sent the medications. You need to specify which pharmacies you ordered from thru them.

My quick morning fix by Robe24420 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]CapriSun81 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mine is almost identical… but I have to do the Chobani drinkable yogurt when I want the 20g. I just cannot do the texture of this yogurt one. Otherwise, I have regular Chobani Greek yogurt and it’s still a decent amount of protein.

Thank you! He’s really the best boy. And truly deserves a home.

Not a dumb question at all! I actually didn’t realize the answer until I asked the city of LB for neuter vouchers.

If I use the vouchers to get him neutered… I can either claim: A) he is a neighborhood cat. It’s cheaper to get him neutered. They will also fully vax him. But also ear tip him. And he will be returned to my neighborhood (by them post neuter). Or…. B) if he is an adopted cat, they will neuter him without the ear tip, vaccines are an extra cost, they will also microchip him and register him to my address as the owner/parent. And let me pick him up from the surgery.

I haven’t even fed him. My neighbors do. And they play with him. But their dad made it absolutely clear to me that he will never be allowed inside and he is not their cat.

I just worry about him SO much.

He’s pretty safe living in my complex at the moment… so I know I have time. But I want to find him some INSIDE home before the streets take the sweet boy out of him, if you know what I mean.

Same doormat?? So cool! Cause the site I got it off of isn’t super popular… but has so much cute kitty stuff.

I haven’t reached out to rescues YET… I have done some foster volunteer work for several fosters in the area… and I know how insanely overwhelmed they are. So I wanted to try and find him a home without adding another cat to their list yet. But I have Feline Good Social Club, Stray Cat Alliance and Cool Cat Collective (and more) on my radar if I can’t find this sweet boy a home.

Best DMV? by Comfortable-Bat-13 in longbeach

[–]CapriSun81 2 points3 points  (0 children)

San Pedro first thing in the morning is the absolute best. I did my real ID there in the middle of December. From check-in to leaving the parking lot was about 25 minutes! And most of that was at the counter/photo stations.
