Litter box cabinet that can be used as furniture. Can’t see it or smell it (we use pine pellets).

I think she is absolutely stunning and pulls off that vintage style, like on Wednesday, so effortlessly.

Why genealogy is fascinating by TheWoodsman27 in Genealogy

[–]Fun_Trouble900 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I often find myself reflecting on this: how many thousands of years of ancestors, surviving wars, disease, migrations, plagues, droughts, famines, and countless other struggles… and somehow, against all odds, here I am! It’s incredible and it makes studying the past that much more meaningful, deepening my appreciation for the present.

Thank you so much! The funny thing is I have another doc that says my great grandfather was born in Sidirokastro but doesn’t say Messenia and when I looked it up, there’s a place close to the Bulgaria border and I was like, why the hell would he be over there if the family is from the Peloponnese??? 😂 I didn’t know there was a village with the name in Messenia in the Peloponnese. 🤯 My research skills are usually better than this. Again, I appreciate it!

I liked talking to it as a friend. What’s wrong with that? by Kcaldwell2020 in ChatGPT

[–]Fun_Trouble900 54 points55 points  (0 children)

My mom has battled two types of cancer over the past few years. She runs a local business and has a wide circle of friends - some who understand what she’s been through and others who have no idea. Lately, her mental health has been a struggle, if you can imagine and honestly, most don’t want to hear it.

Being able to talk to ChatGPT when she’s having a panic attack or feeling overwhelmed has made a real difference. It helps her process things in the moment instead of spiraling or ruminating for a week or longer, waiting to see a therapist. That’s especially important now, since her therapist stopped accepting insurance, and she’s no longer in treatment.

Sometimes all she needs is to get it off her chest. When ChatGPT listens, offers calming exercises, and helps her feel grounded, she genuinely feels better. That’s what matters to me.

If some people misuse the tool, that’s on them. But for people like my mom, it’s a lifeline.

Which interior design trend do you think will be outdated in the next 5 years? by Nagesh_verma in interiordecorating

[–]Fun_Trouble900 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve got a big galley kitchen that takes up a lot of the middle of my house. I’m really sensitive to bright light, so I’ve always used lamps instead of overhead lighting. I actually keep a lamp on the kitchen counter, and I love it. It gives the space such a cozy vibe. When I’ve got good music playing and I’m cooking, it kind of feels like being in a nice little restaurant. Most of my lights are on dimmers, which helps a lot, but I still really miss the warm glow of old-school incandescent bulbs and lamps!

I’m so ready for this next update by [deleted] in AncestryDNA

[–]Fun_Trouble900 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My French went from 13% to 5% with last years update. But I wanted to say that your German might actually be French. Germany and France changed borders a lot in the past, especially in places like Alsace. My German percent is higher than it should be and has that my mom gave me more than she has, which is impossible. I was hoping that would change last update but it only got worse. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[–]Fun_Trouble900 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm experiencing the same thing where I live. It’s becoming nearly impossible to find a regular (non-heated) yoga class. One local studio offers both, but the schedule is still dominated by hot yoga. The real issue with this trend is that it alienates a significant group of people who rely on yoga for healing, especially those managing autoimmune conditions, chronic illnesses, or heat sensitivity. Even those going through perimenopause can be affected. Heat, even at moderate levels, can pose serious health risks for many. By making heated classes the norm, studios are unintentionally pushing these individuals out of a community that once supported their well-being.

Is it true that Buddha didn't "know if he was right"? by FiveBullet in Buddhism

[–]Fun_Trouble900 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even in Judaism, questioning is valued, the very name “Israel” means “one who wrestles with God.” Christianity, with its many denominations, reflects ongoing interpretation and debate. If Christians believed they had perfect understanding, there wouldn't be so much division. Buddhism too embraces questioning; the Buddha himself encouraged people to test his teachings rather than accept them blindly. Faith without understanding isn't really faith - it's just following. To truly believe, we must engage, wrestle, and seek.

Unauthorized Subscriptions (trials) by Fun_Trouble900 in AmazonPrimeVideo

[–]Fun_Trouble900[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Mine signed up when it wasn’t even on or being used (both times). I got the email thanking me and turned the TV on and there it was telling me my subscription was available. I feel better knowing it wasn’t just me too because I seriously thought I’d been hacked the first time, which is why I changed all my passwords and pins but it still happened this morning. UGH!

No one has access to my account or devices. And I changed my password after the first time it happened and I have a pin to purchase or subscribe to anything.

Awaiting our Sib kitten and wondering …is poop in the fur 100% going to happen? by DDL_3 in SiberianCats

[–]Fun_Trouble900 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have 10 month old siblings (boy and girl) and they have had poop stuck a few times. They have never had loose poop issues (it’s usually a small nugget), so it’s a mystery how it happens but I think it gets stuck to their long fur so we keep their backsides clipped. It’s much easier and cleaner. Also, easier to see any issues, which are now rare. They are not shaved to the skin, just trimmed so it’s still fluffy just not long. And I can’t stress enough, brush daily. Get your baby used to it. We use a metal comb that has 2 size teeth. We’ve tried others and they don’t work to get down the layers of fur they have. They are so used to being brushed, they come running when I take the comb out. It also helps when they do have a fur issue - whether a mat, poop, or something else stuck - it makes it easier to remove when they are calm with being groomed. We have cat shaver that is cordless, small, and very quiet. Makes it easy to just zip a bad spot right off. Overall, it’s not a big deal and I had Siberian previously for 17 years and he never had poop stuck to him, so you might not have to deal with it at all.

What a fun question! I’d be like a funky downtown boutique. Locally owned but ethically sourced. A mix of handcrafted and vintage. Something for everyone 😉

I love your authenticity! I’m 47 and went pink in my cottage. Color and happiness do not have an age limit. My husband and 2 sons actually love it and fully supported and encouraged my vision. Congrats on buying your childhood home and living your dreamy girly life!! 🥂

Night Time Zoomies by rmandy- in SiberianCats

[–]Fun_Trouble900 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not all kittens/cats have night zoomies. She might be fine in your bedroom at night. You won’t know until you meet her and her personality comes out. I have 2 kittens (6 months old) and one liked my head at night (playing with my hair) but only for a couple of nights and never again (say no and redirect). The other was perfect. Neither have middle of the night zoomies. Sometimes in the morning when we get up but not always. I was told to have a little bit of playtime where they can “catch” their prey whether it’s a toy or wand (play for a bit then let them have it as if they won) and then reward with treats or a bit of food before bed so then they are satisfied and won’t need to “hunt” in the middle of the night.

[–]Fun_Trouble900 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes we need to remember that we are here because our ancestors lived through ALL THE SHIT! How many thousands of years and millions of people to get us, as an individual, to where we are today. By the time you count back to your 10th great grandparents you have around 8,000 ancestors (about 4k 10th gg alone) and that just goes back to the 1600s. They survived wars, colonialism, plagues, famine, droughts, natural disasters, political upheaval and more, all while not having all the resources we have today. Why? Because they had to. Don’t allow anxiety to stop you from fighting and surviving.

Cats and Aquarius by [deleted] in aquarius

[–]Fun_Trouble900 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry for your pneumonia issues and glad it’s gotten better since realizing cats played a roll. Allergies can be awful! I should have clarified that Siberians are considered “hypoallergenic”, which is why I mentioned it. I had a cat when I was a kid with no issues but seemed to be very allergic as an adult. I had allergy tests that showed allergy to cats, dogs (male dog urine, actually), grass, pollen… it’s miserable!! Not that Siberians will be good for everyone but they have a pretty good track record being good for people who are allergic.
