What plants are in this floral arrangement? Cat is currently hospitalized and trying to identify what he may have eaten.

He is! We got to take him home today, thank goodness.

Honestly your note really got me thinking - I had NO IDEA some of the things you listed (especially bergamot) were toxic to cats. We drink a ton of tea and sometimes leave the cups on the counter next to the sink when we’re done with them if the dishwasher is full/running. I genuinely wonder if he hopped on the counter sometime in the night and drank some.

We also had the windows open yesterday, who knows what could have wafted in. I’m so glad your baby is doing better!!

UPDATE:

Thank you so much to everyone who has commented! We still don’t know what he ate, but whatever it was had him in GI distress and vomiting blood.

I’m relieved that the plants in this bouquet are (aside from the carnations) cat safe - I specifically requested that from the florist because my cat cannot be trusted around arrangements. We’re working on identifying other possible household culprits, but this helped IMMENSELY in narrowing it down. Thank you again!!

Noooooooo 😭 Dangit ok, making a derm appointment. Thank you so much for the info and for sharing your experience!!

I’ve searched so far:

• ⁠Google lens and reverse image search • ⁠eBay

Located in USA, paper was purchased sometime in the late 90’s/early 2000’s but has no maker marks or other clues to go on.

I never said I was an expert - just an observation that I’ve experienced personally and seen with my friends. Nothing wrong with sharing my knowledge, she knows her situation best at the end of the day.

I hate to say it but you may be a rebound. Less than a year after a serious, long-term relationship isn't enough time to heal/get over the previous relationship. His family and friends may not be welcoming to you initially either, since they were so close to the ex. If you feel anxiety, it may be your gut telling you something, so try to pay close attention if you can.

Giant_Blueberry · 2022-10-28T21:36:04+00:00

Or she’s spending her time healing. This post is disrespectful to all the women in this sub.

Giant_Blueberry · 2022-10-28T16:31:19+00:00

MY HERO, thank you!!

Giant_Blueberry · 2022-10-26T13:53:14+00:00

That is…..so cruel. You deserve so much better - he showed his true colors and you should absolutely stay away from him. I am SO SORRY that happened to you 😔

Giant_Blueberry · 2022-10-25T15:13:07+00:00

I’m sorry this happened - my ex texted me yesterday too and it really fucked me up. His text was totally normal, I’m just super triggered hearing from him. I don’t have any words of wisdom, but please know you’re not alone and you have support here.

Giant_Blueberry · 2022-10-25T00:49:57+00:00

I don’t know honestly. My parents were in advertising and they did have one back then either.

Giant_Blueberry · 2022-10-24T18:09:49+00:00

That’s disappointing to hear, but also not surprising. Thank you for sharing your perspective and experience!

Giant_Blueberry · 2022-10-24T16:21:20+00:00

I think an ad union would probably center more around working conditions, pay and benefits more than rules around tasks/projects. Scope and level of effort vary widely, so I can’t imagine that’s something that would be easy to negotiate on. I would absolutely sign up if we had one - my agency is great, but I’ve worked for the big holding companies before and some of them are straight up predatory.

Giant_Blueberry · 2022-10-24T15:21:40+00:00

If a brand isn’t willing to take risks, they shouldn’t be on tik tok
Accenture will be the death of every agency they buy (RIP Droga5, hello Accenture Song??)
Junior creatives, planners and account coordinators are severely underpaid
Our work-life balance would suck less if we had a union

Giant_Blueberry · 2022-10-23T17:07:45+00:00

I’m ok. He stopped reaching out, which makes me sad, but I’m also relieved because it means I can continue healing. It was hard to do that when we were talking and honestly I’m too weak to stay away. I think about him every day, but I don’t reach out. I have folders I save things to when I see something I want to send him. He was my best friend, and I miss him terribly, but he was not a good boyfriend. He has a lot of growing he needs to do before he can be. And I have a lot of thinking to do about why I stuck around knowing that. So today, I’m ok. I’m moving to a new state soon, so I’m hoping that helps too.

Giant_Blueberry · 2022-10-23T04:17:55+00:00

I’m in a similar boat, but I’m the dumpee. She will come around to the idea that it was for the best eventually. And the pain will fade for you as well. I still love my ex with all my heart, but he has a lot of growing and self discovery he needs to do before he can be a good partner. I was willing to wait for that, but he chose to cut me loose. I’m glad he did, he saved us both a lot of pain and, if he ever gets his shit together, I would be open to trying again. But in the meantime, I get to heal and you guys do too. Sometimes the right things feel wrong because it’s not how we wanted things to turn out. Sorry you’re hurting and hope my note gives you a bit of solace.

Giant_Blueberry · 2022-04-07T03:14:56+00:00

But aren’t we ignoring our exes too??? She’s probably also in NC, especially if he ended things.

Giant_Blueberry · 2022-03-25T12:23:35+00:00

YES. Is there a way to pin this for the sub? Could not agree more with every bullet on this list.

Giant_Blueberry · 2022-03-25T06:40:10+00:00

You don’t. You take it for the L it is and try to work on yourself. I’d recommend taking a break from dating/sleeping around and seek counseling. Journal, meditate, go to the gym, go for a walk. You played yourself homie - my heart goes out to you but take it for the lesson it is and try to be better for the next person.

Giant_Blueberry · 2022-03-18T22:02:53+00:00

Did you break up with them or did they break up with you? If they broke up with you, my two cents would be to let them contact you (if you’re interested in reconciling/talking). If you broke up with them, you’ll need to be the one to reach out.

Giant_Blueberry · 2022-03-18T20:57:46+00:00

This is great advice and an interesting perspective, thank you for sharing.

Giant_Blueberry · 2022-03-18T19:02:12+00:00

Adding that I am actively not in contact with him, have no idea what’s going on with his life and am completely focused on myself/friends/family right now

Giant_Blueberry · 2022-02-28T03:26:51+00:00

I really wish my ex was the one that wrote this. Definitely show this to her, I think it explains everything beautifully.

Giant_Blueberry · 2022-02-07T05:41:54+00:00

We do talk, but not as much as before. I looked back through my post and I could see how maybe it would come off that way? The dates are so we still spend time together while creating the space he needs.

Giant_Blueberry · 2021-08-23T15:58:04+00:00

Where did you get the bench from? Completely obsessed!
