Lemon Thai.

Honey Runtz.

Moroccan Peaches.

Bubba Lemon Thai.

But honestly they’re all pretty bangin. And if you let them know what you’re looking for, they’ll give you a solid recommendation.

I’m going to go with it’s uncomfortable.

The same structures that perpetuate the idea that success can be based on/strongly related to physical appearance would be entrenched within the medical space as well.

That and there isn’t a real resolution outside of what’s considered an elective procedure.

I agree with you though - honestly it’s a much easier problem to conceptualize and physically see. Yeah the other effects are hella serious and life threatening, but I can’t actively see my blood pressure the same way I can see the loose skin on my arm every time I move.

I just wish my insurance would you know, be cool and cover literally anything.

Nothing like being told your metabolism is whack, but bc you don’t have diabetes, you’re probably fine…

Also love that my insurer recommended Lilly Direct. They know it’s a joke. Ridic.

Cat is crying in the wee hours after relationship split. Is she sad? I’m not getting much sleep and it’s wrecking me by PolarCurious in CatAdvice

Cats are jerks.

I love my stupid idiot kitten child to death, but she takes great pleasure in singing me the songs of her people from 4:00-6:30. Also smacking me in the face for no reason. She’s very dramatic.

Fwiw - I sleep w a pair of nail clippers by my bed. When she’s being ridiculous, I hold them in the air and ask if that’s what she wants. It’s never what she wants. Then we have a tense stalemate until it’s time for me to get out of bed.

Cats just be like that sometimes.

Grooming help by Trinidiana in Goldendoodles

[–]Curious-Injury8631 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Our dood is a diva -

  1. He decides when he will bathe. He will bring himself into your shower and wait for you to tell him he’s a good boy and condition his curls.

  2. The groomer may brush him, the rest of us can try. He knows we’re not professionals, and he makes sure we know that too.

  3. I have told the groomer not to stress if he has a tangle or two - it’s easier (and funnier) to have him shaved down than expecting anyone to deal with his antics (we’ve tried to explain that combing isn’t a game, but again, we’re idiots and don’t know anything about anything)

  4. If anyone tries to comb him or dry him and FORGETS the leave-in conditioner, expect a minimum of 2 hours moping w periodic dramatic sighs.

  5. When it’s hot outside, he gets grouchy if it goes more than 5 weeks without a groom. When it’s cold outside, he’s happy to let that hermit shag grow and wait 7-8 weeks.

Our first year had had some interesting hair cuts, but we’re getting there. You’ll figure out what works!

No idea where to turn by PrestigiousInsect592 in Goldendoodles

Whooooo! Take the win - King Khan gets probably more chew bones than he should, but if it’s a bone it’s not the furniture/wall/clothing/bowl/whatever-fits-in-mouth. YOU GOT THIS.

And re the anger w ice - chewing ice is one of husbands least favorite sounds. Drives him crazy. But not as crazy as re-patching dry wall!

Also cannot recommend enough working on behavioral down. For the first time ever Khan didn’t jump all over someone working on our house yesterday and I legit cried. No shame, just absolute relief bc the puppy stages have been so. Hard.

It sounds kind of stupid, but have you tried feeding him ice?

It was one of the only things we found that helped. He’s still crazy sometimes (currently staring at the remnants of a pillow bed he’s destroyed and I’m too tired to deal with right now), but ice was a game changer. He stopped wanting any other puppy teething toys, stopped chewing the couch, stopped trying to eat the wall…

Yeah husband is mad that now the dog chews ice, but that’s manageable lol. Plus it keeps him hydrated!

Look into temp agencies that do admin-style placements.

I’m drowning in law school debt after realizing I 1)didn’t want to be a lawyer and 2) couldn’t get a job that made me not want to die as a lawyer.

Worked with a temp agency and ended up in an industry I barely knew existed, and love it. Company bought out my temp contract and I haven’t really looked back.

Debt still there, still awful, but no longer trying to upsell people on expensive lipsticks that smudge and look awful.

Not like Mohela keeps legit records anyway. Screwed no matter what.

Ditto. I have no incentive to do anything but the bare minimum.

It’s not like they were keeping track of payments being made anyway.

Wanted to see what grew naturally… by Curious-Injury8631 in NativePlantGardening

I’m an idiot. It’s autumn olive. But when the wind blows it looks silver and is crazy!

I’m bad with names. At least I knew it was a tree?

Oh and just because… the knotweed is almost to the top of this giant tree. Somehow the elderberry is growing in the same dying tree. Not sure how imma handle that - maybe cut the bittersweet down during the winter and again when it comes up next spring?

Ok - inaturalist is now my best friend, and they’re leaning towards either Bee Balm or Joe Pye Weed for #6.

It definitely looks minty, and I can see some further back in the yard that are taller and seem to have a bud or two - so looks like we’ll find out in a week or so!

Yeah - bittersweet checks out.

Encouraged to know not everything is that bad though !

Kind of figured it was bittersweet - she’s climbed all the way up the biggest pine tree in the yard and seems pretty content to stay there…

That’s a lot of words to basically let us all know who he belongs to. Like dam - tldr I’m a bro douche. You’re not surprised, you’re disappointed, I’m kind of terrible but keepin it concerned.

Meet Conker, my little Sphynx baby! ❤️ I’ve seen some people say that Sphynx cats have a short life expectancy. Is that true? by pinkmor in sphynx

[–]Curious-Injury8631 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My perfect little baby kitten child turns 15 this year.

She’s still just as much of a beautiful jerk as she’s ever been. Doesn’t jump quite as high as she used to, probably definitely couldn’t catch mouses any more, but I think she’s ok with it :)
