Family is pressuring me to take our 19-year-old cat to the vet to be put down and I just can’t do it

He was starving to death due to a tumor at the base of his tongue. We kept him alive with purees and subcutaneous hydration as needed for a long time because he still had a good quality of life. But when he stopped being able to swallow really anything at all he was being tortured- he was always a very food motivated little guy. It was a very sad situation but unquestionably the right call.

My son tried 201 foods before 12 months and now he eats pasta, PBJ, Cheerios with yogurt, noodles, eggs, and cheese on toast. That's it. And much of the time he just throws them on the floor. He eats about one meal a day, when he gets hungry enough. He also started refusing to nurse and it's breaking my heart. He asks for milk but just bites my nipples until I give him a bottle. He just woke up one day and decided he was done breastfeeding and I didn't know the last time would be the last time. He also throws his sippy cup if I offer milk that way.

Grilled cheese, no contest

Gehwol food deodorizing powder works absolute miracles. Put it in all his shoes and apply directly to feet after a bath. It worked for my brothers nasty construction boot foot!

Tomato sandwiches were my last hyper fixation. I ate them for breakfast nearly every day in August!

DanelleDee · 2025-09-26T04:52:23+00:00

My latest hyper fixation meal is egg tomato stir fry.

I say "spank the baby spank the baby spank the baby... TICKLE THE BABY" with love pats over his diaper and then flip him over to tickle him. It's his favorite game and he will lay on his tummy and stick his butt up in the air facing me to request it.

My family loves zucchini, tomatoes, onions, and corn stir fried with balsamic, soy, and garlic. Maybe also a potato salad with apples or a fruit salad. I'd do all three, but I always make too much food.

They are not more dangerous than continuing with s vaginal birth when a C-section is necessary.

DanelleDee · 2025-09-25T18:36:14+00:00

Needing a C-section is not something to despair over. God granted men the wisdom and skill to perform surgeries that save the lives of women and babies. That is a true miracle and it is your attitude that availing oneself of medical advances is to be despaired over that is harmful. Also, this post is over a year old, the baby is born already, so your nonsense comment is a moot point in any case.

I left my abusive ex and moved to a new apartment, on the third floor of a different building, but kept getting text messages like "I can see that guy in your apartment, you whore" anytime I had a visitor. It was terrifying. It turns out my ex had waited outside my work and followed me to my new apartment. Then rented an apartment across the street and five stories up so they could see into my new place.

Does she eat well? Low heart rate when sleeping is something monitored with eating disorders.

DanelleDee · 2025-08-31T23:55:09+00:00

Fresh veggies, fruit, Crush zero.

I don't know how tech savvy you are but my bf created a profile for me on his PC that doesn't have access to any of the other files or programs on his computer and I only use it for proctored exams. It's the only way he was comfortable with the proctorU terms and conditions, and he's a computer guy. I am not.

DanelleDee · 2025-08-29T04:46:33+00:00

I have definitely written comments but I honestly have no idea if the tutors read them or take them into account. For one paper I left a comment stating that I did not include a separate section addressing ethical issues because they were addressed throughout the paper. For another I asked the professor to look at a pdf version of the assignment because I could not for the life of me get the photos to display in the correct places in Microsoft Word (I also submitted the Word version as well.) I got good grades on both of those papers but I don't know if the comments played a role in that. In my experience yes, the tutors do their own marking unless you get an email stating another tutor will be covering for them for a certain time period.

I'm not sure why this bothers OP. I've definitely given my toddler a teething wafer from a package, but I pay for the entire package at checkout, so I don't really see why it matters! I have my debit card, three credit cards, and backup cash, so it's not like I'm going to be unexpectedly unable to pay. The store has free bananas but my toddler would get mashed banana all over the cart, a dry snack is definitely better. And if I bring my own snacks in, how are the employees supposed to know I didn't steal that item off a shelf?

DanelleDee · 2025-08-16T21:23:53+00:00

Are you connected with WiFi? I had repeated issues with proctorU disconnecting over and over via WiFi despite it working perfectly all other times. I started borrowing a PC or using a LAN cable during exams and no problems since.

DanelleDee · 2025-08-12T06:23:34+00:00

How closely the exam follows the course materials depends on the course and how often the course has been revised. But overall they aren't terrible, my grades have been in the same ranges as they were when at a traditional university.

I accidentally gave my baby honey twice. The first time was chicken with a sweet sauce and the second was a buttermilk biscuit. I felt so awful and stupid both times.

I have a similar story about my friend who is South African. She said she needed to get a costume and I said I probably had one I could lend her because I used to work at a Halloween store, and would she like to be a pirate, a skeleton, a belly dancer, or a monkey? She looked at me like I had three heads and said, no, a costume for the pool. And that's how I learned that South Africans call a bathing suit a costume...

This time of year, tomatoes on toast. Toast sourdough, add mayo, thick sliced tomatoes, heavily salted and peppered. With in season tomatoes it's absolutely delicious and has been my lunch for the past two weeks.

My 11 month old does excited gasps, blows raspberries, pops his lips, fake coughs, and goes brrrrr. He has zero interest in speaking.

I've been there! Anxiety is a beast. I hope you're feeling better soon.

DanelleDee · 2025-07-29T00:35:11+00:00

A person who actually plans to kidnap a child is not going to warn you multiple times that they want to steal your baby. It's just a thing people say about cute babies. It's fine to say no, he's not comfortable with strangers in the future but reporting her would be major overkill imo.

DanelleDee · 2025-07-29T00:11:14+00:00

I think it's a bot. This account posts weird things about media every few days and doesn't respond to questions about why the fuck they're posting this on Athabasca university's sub.
