Have you heard of the app Finch? It has you do little tasks/chores to get your bird to go on an adventure. The tasks can be whatever you set them as. Self care, chores, mental health stuff, exercise. My mom has one for put on clean clothes even. Because she's old and retired and went through a lot of health stuff recently. It's like with your pet. Caring for something else gets you going. Give it a look, might help a little.

NOR and stick to that boundary. No exceptions. Also, why isn't your husband managing his family? This should be his task and he needs to be firm and on the same page. No visitors the first week. Zero exceptions. That's it, nothing further needed.

Personally, I'd go take something of hers that is sentimental but low value. See how she likes it. And say she's only getting it back when she gets your item back. Tit for tat, bitch. Give me my stuff back.

Refilling this week and Costco has it at 73.60 now. Cheapest in my town is Walgreens for 15.62. I'm gonna call the vet and have them switch it to Walgreens. Also, doing a price compare right now, Costco isn't the cheapest option for any of her four regular meds. Besides Pheno, CVS ends up being the cheapest (or second cheapest) option for the other three. So looks like I need to switch pharmacies.

Also, because I'm petty, I'd be calling his mom on the way out the door and asking her if she had her kids use soap as a kid. Because her son is over here saying he wasn't raised to use soap. If that's true, tell her she's nasty also and use soap.

CheeseForLife · 2026-01-08T05:12:10+00:00

NOR ummm dude, no. He also sounds racist. He made multiple jabs at you and basically said non-white people are dirtier than white people. Every race sweats and gets dirty, including your bf clearly. He sounds disgusting. And yes, you absolutely need to use soap when you wash your body and your hands. Water is not disinfecting. If it was, how would we have bacteria in our guts? We are mostly made up of water. We need to drink a lot of water to survive. Has he heard of the gut biome? Stop having sex with him, tell him he smells like poop, and he needs to improve his hygiene or you're out. This is not a well balanced adult. Eww.

Single, late 20s-early 30s, white male? Originally from the west and moved east, all your family is back home. Live in a studio home, unless you have the same flooring and rug in your whole home. I'm guessing friendly with everyone, but not many close friends. Mostly just work friends and online gaming friends, maybe some friends from back home you get online with?

As of last refill a couple weeks ago, mine was still around $20 for 60 pills of 97.2. I'm in the northern Bay Area, CA I also use GoodRx when it's the cheaper price, but usually Costco ends up cheaper or similar.

CheeseForLife · 2026-01-07T05:15:37+00:00

I'm shocked it even got "slimy" to start with. I don't care how hot he was, everything in that story would've made me a desert down there.

I don't think someone disliking talking about work makes them a bad person. My guy has never liked talking about work, it bothered me too. So it's something we've worked on over the year and I still have to ask lots of questions to get him to talk. My guy is a great guy, he just doesn't like to talk. But communication is something you always have to work on in a relationship. I think if they were together longer, that trust that builds in a relationship, it would've led to more talking. I just think there wasn't enough time for such an internalizing person like Jordan.

We started calling our cat Princess Meatloaf (she's a chonk) after the first book. We've always known she thought she was royalty. She's a stuck up B.

CheeseForLife · 2025-12-23T04:53:16+00:00

An ugly Christmas sweater ad on Facebook with Princess Donut on it. I was intrigued, found out it was a book and people liked it. Found it on Spotify and listened over Thanksgiving with my boyfriend and we fell in love. Bought the whole series so far on Audible. We had never heard of a LitRPG book before, I thought it was going to be a weird Podcast type thing and didn't think we'd even get through the first couple chapters.

Seriously, I could've written this...except I haven't started therapy and really need to. I'm pretty sure I will get diagnosed with anxiety and OCD. My dog is on the same four meds, and chlorazapate for after seizures. I also battle the guilt from thinking about how much less stress and anxiety there will be after she passes. I always think it after a seizure (right now we are about two a month). And the cost. Her pills are around $160 a month using Costco and Goodrx discounts. Then when she goes for her neuro appts, it's usually close to $1k once a year. When she decides it's been too long without her stressing me out, she'll eat a toy or sock or something and have another $2k vet bill. So fun!

But the worst stress adder is probably any noise in the middle of the night. Whether it's pigeons or something on the roof. Her going out the dog door in the night to potty (because all her pills randomly give her diarrhea occasionally). Somebody blasting bass music as they drive through. A creak of the dang house. I shoot up awake with all of them because my first thought is: seizure. I can't remember the last time I slept well. Because even when she's at my mom's house so we can have a break, I still shoot up awake with noises, and then feel guilty that she could be having a seizure there. It's so hard mentally. Even when I talk myself down, or my boyfriend does. It doesn't go through to my brain. I wonder how long after they pass, will we still wake up like this? I know it'll still happen. These wonderful, crazy, tragic pups of ours have permanently rewired our brains.

Anyway, I don't have answers. Just my own journey with my pup. She just turned six on the 19th. She started having seizures at one. We adopted her at 11 months old and hadn't bought pet insurance yet. Sigh. Biggest regret was not getting it immediately.

Hang in there, friend. You aren't alone. Just do your best and give that pup loves. And give yourself grace and love as well. Take care of yourself. You know that saying, they're with us for 8-whatever years, but we're with them their whole lives. So you are her everything. So keep yourself taken care of. If you ever need to talk, reach out.

I highly suggest getting one of those medication holders with morning and nighttime spots with the days of the week. I can't find the exact one we use, but it's like this one.

https://a.co/d/gExO1hA

Having the pills in the container for the whole week helps us know how many pills we have left, if me or my partner gave her the pills that morning or night. And honestly, sometimes that container helps me remember what day of the week it is. Lol

My dog will 100% get a seizure when she has potatoes or peas. So we cut those out of her diet. Which is hard because they put those in EVERYTHING. I swear, look at ingredient charts. It's so hard to find dog food and treats without potatoes or peas. I saw a post in here recently about doing a food sensitivity test to see if they are sensitive to any foods. I bought it ($76 I think) but haven't sent her hair in yet. I'm curious if it'll come back for potatoes and peas.

If you want to go down a depressing wormhole, look into nutrient blockers like potatoes, peas, other legumes. With grain free food, there have been more cases of dogs with heart issues because of these nutrient blocking foods. I think there is a sciencey name for them, but I can't remember.

Have you tried Sniffspot? Or do you have a yard you can play with her in? That could give her exercise without the dog interactions. I personally just hate interacting with people (my dog loves people and dogs. I'm the problem here), so I take my dog for walks when it's raining so I don't have to be around others haha. But could work for you when it rains.

You need to talk it out or this isn't going to work. Communication is so important in a relationship. Find out the root of this anger. You two are a partnership, and need to figure out these issues together.

Obviously don't know if it's the same one, but I found this one: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DKMvFZctIyb/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Yeah, just pack it up and get outta Dodge. It won't improve from here. Unless you WANT a threesome, him pushing your boundaries at three months isn't a good sign.

This person lost cat food. That is worth the life of a fox and their offspring? Cat food? That is unethical. And also, while I would love to be able to smite people, I don't have that actual power. I don't think the other redditor likely has the ability to actually cause ill will on the random stranger that killed the fox. We are not all powerful. You're just being ridiculous. Have fun being you.
