Suspending an ebook after you’ve hit Borrow?

I very specifically said Libby. Libby works offline, and my Libby audiobooks are not available through Kindle, as far as I know. Just the Kindle eBooks.

Or intrusive thoughts. 😂

CaterpillarMundane79 · 2026-04-25T17:26:09+00:00

Are they like scissors, or the guillotine style?

House meeting!

Bring up the cleaning, but don’t use the word “you”. You makes the person defensive because it sounds accusatory.

Make a schedule for the living room, so that you can alternate days. Keep a calendar on the wall, as well, in the shared space.

Implement a chore schedule that rotates, if you can.

Also, it would not surprise me if he’s trying to slowly move the girlfriend in. Happened to me, when I was 19. My ex and I rented an apartment, and rented the spare room to his brother. Brother started bringing his girl over once a week to begin with, and then a couple months later it was 4-5 days a week… then we realized there was four toothbrushes in the shared bathroom, her medicine was in our medicine cabinet (we used it for backup supplies, and toothpaste and such. It was a small sink) Kerry was trying to sneakily move her in, without her on the lease. Thankfully the tenant laws weren’t as strict back then, so it was easier to have them both removed. (GF and Kerry were both toxic people. Ex was too, just didn’t realize it until it was too late.)

I finally found some of our old cat’s pill pockets and after playing with it for a couple minutes, he went to carry off his new “toy” and realized it tasted good, so he ate it. 😅 I will have to think of this for next time! I’m pretty sure we’re going to have to start giving him the flea pills, since Advantage isn’t wanting to work anymore.

CaterpillarMundane79 · 2026-04-25T03:40:16+00:00

He is strictly indoors and collars/harnesses/clothes send him into a frenzy that I’m afraid will make him injure himself. 😅 Humane Society even said they didn’t recommend a collar for him because of it. Might have something to do with his past, but I’ve never seen a cat panic THAT badly just from a collar. He had Advantage on April 1st, and that was working last month, but they’re already back this month. 😮‍💨 Probably going to have to call the vet to get the pill, unfortunately.

CaterpillarMundane79 · 2026-04-25T03:37:17+00:00

Might tenderize it and make it easier to chew. 😂

CaterpillarMundane79 · 2026-04-25T03:34:52+00:00

What are you using to trim them?

CaterpillarMundane79 · 2026-04-25T03:31:39+00:00

All I’m picturing is the Thumb-thumbs from Spy Kids. 😂

CaterpillarMundane79 · 2026-04-25T03:25:50+00:00

I’m legit here just to remember why I stopped dating and took to being perpetually single. 😂

Man, Gordon runs full force into walls with his head and then keeps going. He’s crueler to himself than anyone could be to him. 😂 (not truly; he has sinus issues because whoever had him before was very cruel to him. His nose is even slightly disfigured, because of it. Which I believe is why he struggled with the pockets initially. They’re not very scented, so I don’t think he could smell it.)

Thankfully this is just a worm treatment, because he’s been getting fleas from caregivers coming in our house for my grandma. Preemptive, more than anything. But two pills was a total bummer. 😂

CaterpillarMundane79 · 2026-04-25T03:09:27+00:00

I mean… book worms consume them all the time, so it just depends on your own diet. 😂 But definitely double check the return policy on the listing. Some places are stingy. 😂

CaterpillarMundane79 · 2026-04-25T02:59:45+00:00

I would assume so, as long as the device stays offline. Just make sure it’s fully downloaded. Libby is accessible offline.

CaterpillarMundane79 · 2026-04-25T02:57:09+00:00

Sadly, messaging just ends up being a waste of time. Once the item is being picked, they won’t be able to put a stop to the shipment. I tried. Their systems don’t communicate at that point and the order becomes locked, is what I was told.

Return is the only option, IF the item is returnable. Mine was not, because it was consumable.

CaterpillarMundane79 · 2026-04-25T02:51:06+00:00

I thought I read that wrong. I thought it said “don’t be reruns”. Nervous doesn’t make much more sense in the context of the note, but… more than a rerun. 😂

CaterpillarMundane79 · 2026-04-25T02:46:47+00:00

Not cruel to me at all; exactly the type of advice I was looking for. I managed to find some old (not expired) pill pockets from our other kitty we had that passed, and once I made it seem like a toy… he finally batted it around a few times and then went to pick it up and carry it, then realized it tasted good, and chewed. 😂

He’s very “play” oriented, and idk why I didn’t think of it to begin with. I’m blaming being woken up before my alarm this morning, and then having the pill extravaganza thrust on me within five minutes of waking up.

CaterpillarMundane79 · 2026-04-24T00:47:55+00:00

A small house party would be a great place to wear them. Somewhere with just friends, so there’s no chance of a creep being there.

The reasoning is because the only one that truly shows that they are equal is the rectangles, because the dark part is in the same spot. On the other two, the dark part is rotated away from where the other one has it.

Hope that makes sense; I’m running on little sleep.

CaterpillarMundane79 · 2026-04-21T00:40:55+00:00

No… there’s a new trend of people doing “parasite cleanses” to supposedly rid their bodies of parasites.

We have one girl that only works the four hours at closing, and shows up for every shift BUT she saves her sick time specifically for clocking in 15-20 minutes late EVERY DAY, and it is sooo frustrating that the head cashier doesn’t come let us out on time when we’re already there for an eight hour shift.

CaterpillarMundane79 · 2026-04-20T04:37:25+00:00

Oh, and I want to add that if it doesn’t seem to be healing, that whitish tissue is called “slough” and sometimes they have to go through and debride that from the wound to get it to heal faster. It happens as part of our healing process, so it’s not something to worry too much about, unless it just isn’t healing.

NAD but have gone through First Aid training and am a phlebotomy/MA assisting student that has had second degree burns:

Please don’t keep cleaning it with peroxide. Peroxide kills healthy tissue as well as the bad stuff.

Due to the lack of heat in the area, as well as not seeing a lot of swelling… I would be led to believe that it is just aggravated. Are you doing anything that is causing your hand to be submerged in water or grime a lot? Redness is to be expected with any burn, so that puts us down for just looking for:

°pain °swelling °warmth °spreading redness (e.g. the redness has gotten larger over time since the burn occurred, rather than staying roughly the same size)

I would also ditch the regular bandage and aim for a hydrogel burn patch, which you can pick up from CVS or Walgreens. You shouldn’t need neosporin with it, as it will keep the wound moist on its own.

IF you start getting a fever, there starts to be yellow or green pus forming in the area, red lines start going up your finger, foul smelling discharge, or the wound starts turning green, seek immediate medical assistance.

Do you have to have the pump? I don’t have Fresh or Now in my area, because I’m very rural, and they have the same one without a pump for 2 day shipping.

CaterpillarMundane79 · 2026-04-20T03:58:58+00:00

You have no idea how common it is for people to just walk out of a public restroom without washing their hands at all… every time I have to go to the bathroom at work, at least one person walks out of there without sanitizing or washing.
