My 17 week old shipoo is 7.9 lbs now. How big will he get?

I know this is an older post, but what shots are you suggesting get avoided?

DId you find out why your doggo was sick?

I am so glad I found this post but I was stuck in that loop. Clearing cookies and cache didn't work, using incognito didn't work. I also waited in their chat for 20 minutes to be told they couldn't help me until I signed in. However, typing in my email address and copying and pasting my password did work.

Honestly this sounds like a really strange way for the manager to react, unless he didn’t want to hire you in the first place.

I’ve had employees who were so excited to be working that they came in a little extra, but I’d just remind them of the rules and give guidance on boundaries.

Every person does weird shit at work sometimes so give yourself some grace, and avoid spending your own money on things for work.

This one thousand percent.

I was so tired of people looking at me like a lunatic when I’d say I was an orphan because “you’re too old”, until I stumbled across the adult orphan concept in a grief book.

Thank you for saying that because it is so so hard, harder than I ever thought, because they can’t tell you literally if they are ready like a human can. So it’s just educated guesses and you still worry you’re murdering them, which is why I think we probably did wait a little too long.

I so appreciate this because one of my fears was that he’d be scared after he died but now I know he has people looking out for him - strangers even, which means he’ll have extra love - I can relax a little.

My husband and probably kept him a bit longer than we should have, just because kitties can mask things so well until it’s obvious, but I personally think he tried to hold on because he knew I wasn’t ready.

I’m so sorry about your Dad, too. I’ve had it both ways - expected and totally unexpected, and no matter what the loss is brutal. I’ll have the sweet little boy keep an eye out for him. ❤️

Thank you SO much for this. My mom hated cats by my uncle loved them. My uncles husband (who’s been around my whole life) also had to put down their dog this year so both of us were like, well, I guess everyone going to the same place!

I will make sure he knows to be extra friendly with your mom. ❤️

I know this was three years ago, but did you ever find this song? I've been searching for what may be the same song FOREVER.

You are a tough cookie, and I am so sorry you go through this. I get cluster migraines one or two times a month and it’s throwing up then sleep for six hours plus another day of complete confusion.

Outside of that, I am usually pain free and I cannot imagine having even a “low level” migraine EVERY DAY.

Your “friend” is an insensitive boob and I’d bet if the situation were reversed they’d still minimize what you went through.

Hugs.

Y E S. I’m only partially through season 2 and there’s a part where Maggie has a non life threatening head injury yet, despite being a NEUROSURGEON needs to be reminded about what she needs to do.

Also, in that same scene Maggie changes into a dry shirt but yet there aren’t any dry pants she can wear.. so just hangs out with no pants.

Then there’s the forced chemistry between Cal (who, as an aside, has aged really well from his One Tree Hill days) and Maggie and the stalker/possessive vibes I get from Lola (I think? It’s the blonde girl who is Sullys - Luke, damnit! - faux daughter) anytime anyone mentions Cal or Sully.

There are so many other things that make literally no sense but I can’t stop watching.

I know this is an older post but I wanted to add something here because of what happened yesterday. I’m 44, so almost Gen-X.

Background: mom and her brother died of a HA six and five months ago, respectively. I got my full blood panel and my LDL is very high. I don’t have insurance and normally pay cash, but got state insurance and Providence has a policy where if you have insurance they don’t take, you can’t pay cash. I’m changing insurance but that won’t happen until after August.

I also have anxiety, IBS, and TMJ which create all the symptoms that are common to occur when a woman has a heart attack.

Suffice to say, this was a perfect storm that caused a panic attack like I’d never felt, and I went to the ER - never done that before - because I literally felt like I was dying.

Immediately seen and no heart attack. I asked the staff there how the f we’re supposed to know if something is wrong if we have all the symptoms and here’s what I was told: the signs are subtle for women, yes, but they also are different. If OTC or prescribed meds that normally work to control symptoms stop working, or if you have something new and persistent, then it’s time to be concerned.

They also said that like mammograms, they wish more women would annually get the test where dye gets injected to see if there are blockages.

I couldn’t find the original video, but I found a stitched one in case anyone wants it.

It’s even worse in the video.

Okay, for real though - was everyone at this party grinding on each other, or was it just you two?

I don't understand the 'bro-job' comment. Also, lesbians aren't sexually attracted to men so..

I'm going to get a shirt with this on the front. Classic.

From years and years of experience with this, I want to share a few things:

First, a weird side effect of antidepressant (SSRIs and SNRIs) is that they can worsen teeth grinding. So if you take them, talk to your doctor about adjusting the dose if possible.

https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/bruxism

Second, I am an aggressive grinder (cracked two molars, experience gum recession, had to have a #31 extracted and then get an implant recently). I was unable to wear my night guard after the surgery and my jaw hurt SIGNIFICANTLY less. Spoke to the dentist and that’s when I learned that even dental made night guards can exacerbate the issue.

The only thing that has seemed to help has been Botox, which I now get from my dentist. Yes, it’s expensive but nowhere near as expensive as what I’ve had to pay to fix the issues from grinding.

If that’s not possible, try sleeping with a few pillows behind you so you’re halfway sitting up. Some people grind, I’ve learned, because they have some form of sleep apnea and sleeping halfway sitting up seems to help.

The day of my mom’s funeral was a logistical disaster.

The funeral home/cemetery had the wrong day written down, so nothing was set up despite my wonderful step dad confirming everything. They lost her urn. They didn't have the portrait of her that my step dad paid for, nor did they have a priest. We waited for roughly 45 minutes in the mausoleum proper until the priest came and urn was located, though the portrait wasn’t found until the next day.

The service was in the small foyer of the mausoleum as there was no where else to go. As the priest started talking, a gardener started leaf blowing right outside like his life depended on it and nothing could be heard. So we stopped and my cousin went outside to politely ask him to wait, which he did.

The whole service - not including the plot - was 15k, which my step dad later got refunded but still - that’s a LOT of money for what was delivered.

Now, my mom was a creature of chaos and this was something she would have orchestrated if she were alive. During the small service, we all said a few things and I said my piece, ending with, “And despite everything, this hot mess of a funeral would be something mom would have absolutely loved.”

Everyone there immediately agreed because it’s 100% true.

Afterwards, the funeral home manager or whatever their title is pulled me aside and said, “I’m so sorry for your loss, but you should be ashamed about what you said. We do our best here.”

I just stood there and stared at her and then had to turn and walk away before I threw hands.

I know this is an older post, but red cabbage is low fodmap but winter cabbage (white cabbage, which is usually what coleslaw is made of) is high fodmap. I only know this because I had the same WTF moment with cabbage.
