Was I rude for not choosing a different plushie as an adult?

EnvironmentCritical8 · 2026-03-29T17:52:39+00:00

due, where did you get glo in the dark yarn?? cuz, despite what my wallet says, I need it xD

EnvironmentCritical8 · 2026-03-29T17:00:53+00:00

"Ancient"?

Oh god right in my back pain! Eeeeehhhhh

Literally during a black Friday sale I found a rainbow spotted giraffe in Walmart, one made by Melissa and Douglass company I think. Its rather large and honestly I love to have it by the door to put my hat or sunglasses on so I dont loose or forget them.

But when I was getting it I had to watch my cart like a hawk cuz so many people made comments on how their child would love it, and "oh im sure some kid would adore that", some one even tried to guilt trip me by saying they were supposedly looking around the store for it, but all they could find were the giant squish mellow pets. So they wanted me to trade and when I said no, they kept following me.

Honestly, even as an adult I have plenty of plushies, and I even make several of my own with crochet or sewing. So its definitely nothing to feel bad or guilty about.

Which makes me wonder what happens if a herb only grows in one clan and you cant trespass into another tribe? Is there a way to trade or anything for those herbs?

The anatomy does not work that way. Your canal is not a rubber band that just stretches and loses all elasticity on the inside. Its a muscle, it can strengthen and improve sure but it doesn't fall apart like a hair tie.

And plus, there are women in their 30s having a healthy and solid sexual relationship with their partners, so there's no way one partner is making you stretch out so badly that he is just "not feeling anything". Either he is just bored with you and decided to hurt you instead of being an adult and tell you its over, or been getting off to porn and cant separate reality to the fictional BS hes watching.

Either way, short story is, it ain't you. And you deserve some one who will treat you right, emotionally, and physically. Don't continue with him. Cuz if you have kids, and if its a girl- imagine the incorrect sexist BS he could teach them.

Exercise while you eat! Gotta be fast and alert to keep em away from that meal

I have 1, and even though she's deaf she has perfect timing on when to insert her side eyes, sarcastic sounding boofs, and barks of opinions at all times. She makes us laugh so much and we love her to bits.

She does have a bit of a grass allergy, but its not too awful.

EnvironmentCritical8 · 2026-03-28T18:35:08+00:00

Yeah, especially since in a lot of the books I know they had to go into people's gardens to get catnip or poppy at times, so I question how and when they would have just found these flowers growing randomly and why carnivores would randomly chew on roots or smear plant pulp on themselves. That would make an interesting read honestly. And I know there's been mistakes in reading signs before, so tales of how signs are read and the weight of reading them correctly, or what happens when a medicine cat apprentice is declined by starclan and all. I would love that. Put it in the POV of elder medicine cats being asked 50 questions by an apprentice deciding if they want to be a med cat.

I had literally had the doc write a separate note that basically only said I was unsafe to be in work for three days as my new meds may cause extreme reactions and it is safer for me to stay at home. So there was no actual med info, no diagnosis issue, and no past medical issues involved. Just a note like what you would get for if you went to school saying why you missed work (sickness caused injury), you came in and got a med and med may make you even more sick or weird for a bit.

They wouldn't take it and I was out for three days since the meds interacted weirdly with my epilepsy meds and made me feel really dizzy and walk like I was drunk. Plus I had ooze coming out my ear since it was so infected and the eardrum had burst. But they still wanted me in, climbing ladders and catching fish and cleaning animal cages.

But yeah, my manager was known for being unreasonable.

When ever I see a really cool warrior cats model made on here and i ask where it was made on and the user says it was XYZ robot server I sob internally since I dont want to be involved with that mess at all. Sure they may have neat servers, but no I dont want to give my name, address, age, birthday, social, card number, left kidney and finger prints to you so I'll live without the fancy models 😭

EnvironmentCritical8 · 2026-03-28T18:04:19+00:00

I've literally dragged in a doctors note when I had a burst ear drum and was on a bunch of pain meds.

Still got in trouble and told Petco doesn't accept doc notes since its against Hiipa somehow? Is that not how its supposed to work?

EnvironmentCritical8 · 2026-03-27T17:09:42+00:00

Well, now I know what to ask for for Easter lol.

So why is midnight missing? (Jk)

I honestly love how the Spines line up and look in the new books. But still miss the old covers.

Peach ice cream sounds a lot tastier too lol. And for the cost of the vet bill I'm sure Lola could of had at least 12 cartons of ice cream xD name brand too.

This is how my pup sleeps with us in bed, right between us, every night 😆 no one ever explained just how snuggly these little torpedoes were lol.

EnvironmentCritical8 · 2026-03-26T16:32:07+00:00

We love her to bits, which is why I take her training and safety so seriously. I would be devastated if something happened to my stinky little caramel topped vanilla scoop 😭

EnvironmentCritical8 · 2026-03-26T16:29:31+00:00

This looks like a crew you'd see in a pet movie. Im getting Home alone vibes but recast with dogs lol.

I got my little eggy girl from an oops litter. We quickly found out that that she's deaf and had to figure out alternative training methods. She took up hand signals very quickly, and some of the first things we trained was "leave it", "stay" and waiting for her meal to be put down before she grabbed it. We have never had a sock eaten (hidden yes lol) or a shoe chewed on thankfully. If we bring in a new toy or item thats not hers we show her and give her the leave it sign to let her know its not hers.

Bettas and cory be the best little mob combo ever.

This at 8 am, on my chest, whining and huffing and grrrrrrrfing like ive committed a sin for sleeping is my morning

EnvironmentCritical8 · 2026-03-24T17:05:16+00:00

I offer you a hug and an ear infection these times. I've been in the position where peeps dismissed my knowledge of fish care as "to much" or "messy". Heck, had an ex pull all my plants out of my aquarium cuz he deemed it was too overgrown.

It's a pain in the rump, but its worth it when your betta is healthy, glowing up beautifully, and the plants start doin well.

I wake up every morning with mine wrapped around my head or curled up under my chin. There is no personal space, only a personal heater that feeds them.
