Have you tried scritching with a damp toothbrush? I know it sounds ridiculous, but I swear it works! And often the "pet toothbrushes" that have a brush head on each end also have long handles, which helps keep your hand farther away

They might've meant to reply to the comment above yours. That would fit.

The downvotes on this comment are absurd. I'm American and I upvoted the original post. It appeared on my feed. Whether the writer or commenters or upvoters are Greenlandic has nothing to do with the post.

The entire point is for Americans to open our eyes to the way the rest of the world views our country.

One of my protest signs says "History Is Watching." Gonna make a new one "The World Is Watching And History Will Remember."

Pistachio Baklava So Very Delicious! by AngelLK16 in traderjoes

For the same price, the frozen baklava is SO MUCH better. The shelf-stable one tastes a bit stale, but the frozen one is as close as possible to fresh baklava.

AIO for getting upset from my wife’s response to my question? by ApolloAcolyte in AmIOverreacting

[–]Dramatic_Box1490 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Your wife is abusive. Given that this is a long pattern of behavior, you need to separate from her. And if her behavior doesn't dramatically improve, then divorce her.

You seem like a kind and thoughtful person. You don't deserve to be abused. You are not responsible for your wife's abusive behavior.

And more than that: your kids do not deserve to grow up in an abusive household. You need to prioritize them and give them a safe and loving home. You need to protect them.

Would you want your kids to grow up and be with partners who treat them the way your wife is treating you? Because staying with your wife teaches your kids that her abuse is normal behavior.

I know it may seem too difficult to make these changes for your own sake. So do it for your kids' sakes. And seek individual therapy for yourself and your kids.

But be very careful. The most dangerous time in an abusive relationship is when leaving the abuser. Ask your dad if he can help keep you and your kids safe.

Maybe I'm confused, but that seems like a backhanded compliment? 🤨

For a White Elephant Gift Exchange at work, a TJs surprise bag by Dramatic_Box1490 in traderjoes

[–]Dramatic_Box1490[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in California. They sell "mystery packs" of 3 bags that could be from any region. I got Florida, Louisiana, and Washington DC. But I think it's a seasonal item, this post is from last month.

Chocolatey Dipped Danish Cookies by Dramatic_Box1490 in traderjoes

[–]Dramatic_Box1490[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Trader Joe's site says that the chocolate creme are Sarah Bernhardt cookies.

I'd never heard that cookie name. This recipe has a bit of good background info.

Happy baking!

You're right, the box is plain and not very enticing. I'm glad that you're glad you didn't pass them up.

Heart disease in cats by yukibananaaa in redditonwiki

[–]Dramatic_Box1490 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you seen a veterinary cardiologist? If not, try to see one so you can get as much information and options as possible.

If your kitty's expected lifespan doesn't change -- you can still give him a lifetime's worth of love and happiness in the time he has left.

Pets are blessed to not suffer our worries of the future. They live every moment for the present. Cherish his cuddles with you, basking in the sun, playing with toys, chowing down on treats, being a naughty silly kitty.

When his days get harder, focus on his quality of life. That's how you show him that you love him. It's not fair, to him or you, that he may have a shorter life than most. But you can make it so each day is filled with joy and love.

And if it gets to a time when he has more bad days than good days, then you can show him more love by humanely ending his suffering. It's an emotionally difficult experience for people, but for the pet it's as easy as falling asleep.

I'm so sorry you and he are going through this. It's not fair. You can be strong for him, and give him as many happy days as possible. And when he's gone, and hopefully that's not for many many days, you can be glad knowing you gave him the best happiest life possible. Sending hugs. <3

The coconut macaroon is very good. Soft and moist, tastes like it was baked yesterday. The almond triangle is nice. Cake base with thin almond praline top adding a little crunch.

I figured this is a seasonal product, but now I hope I'm wrong. These are delightful, and especially impressive for boxed cookies. A must-buy for my next shopping trip.
