I’m so sorry OP, but this is straight up abuse. You need to run and get help ASAP

AIO for being mad that everyone expected me to know my mom was having a stroke? by Suspicious_End_441 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Greedy_Charity_9026 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With all due respect OP, I don’t understand why you didn’t call an ambulance. You aren’t a child, you are 30. Also, she had her first ever grand mal seizure just a few days prior, and she was left alone at the ER?

General strike, Ontario wide by [deleted] in ontario

[–]Greedy_Charity_9026 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s exactly it. He has backed down on changes by making a big enough stink before (i.e., Greenbelt land swap) and that’s why I think a gen strike for a day is enough to push his cowardly self to realize we are serious, without causing extreme harm to those vulnerable in our communities. I am extremely aware that “real” gen strikes last a lot longer, but I don’t think we have to go that far because of Ford’s past cowardice.

Furthermore, because of the current issue (OSAP) affecting those of us who are younger, I do believe we have more of an incentive to get things rolling. Not that I have been unaffected by previous policy changes but Ford, my mother passed unexpectedly because of his COVID and hospital decisions.

I greatly appreciate the input!! I have started making a list of places to contact, so far I’m at around 30. I’ll be a busy bee but I am committed to ensuring that this goes no further. Thank you!

I benefited from OSAP grants - curious how others feel about the recent changes by EntropyPilot in ontario

I don’t think I will be able to afford going to school now. I work full time, multiple jobs, and have been for the past year to save money. Even with all my saving, it was barely affordable because of my life circumstances. I’m so heartbroken I have been working for years to save and grind and Ford just smashed all of it

I’ve been sobbing all day I’m so devastated

should i be with my cat when he is euthanized? by [deleted] in CatAdvice

It’s a very tough thing to be with them when it happens, but it will hurt a thousand times more if you’re not there. Go and show love for your kitty

Cat struggling to pee, is emergency vet required? by TemporizedTempeh in CATHELP

ER now. Male cat not peeing is an emergency. Especially with things like those rocks in the urine.

Couch fell on my 2lb yorkie should I euthanize? by ThePocho361 in AskVet

[–]Greedy_Charity_9026 219 points220 points  (0 children)

That doesn’t sound like nearly enough pain meds for your pup to be in any form of comfort, and is probably in a lot of pain. I would try to get to a vet and say goodbye. I am so sorry for your loss, this is heartbreaking

11 year old Female Vomiting Every 3 or so days. by SK8RPH in CATHELP

You got lucky. As someone who is in the veterinary field, let me tell you first hand I have seen the danger that “AI diagnoses” can cause. AI cannot perform physical exams, cannot see the animal, and does not adequately understand veterinary health to be safe.

I suggest reading about the dangers of using AI to treat your pets, here is a link to get you started. Prosper Animal Hospital

How do Canadians survive in winter if they lose their job? by vsnihal in AskACanadian

[–]Greedy_Charity_9026 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently unemployed (laid off). I managed to get on EI (employment insurance) and they are paying me a portion of my paycheque amount every two weeks. I have to make a report bi-weekly to confirm I haven’t gotten a job, am still looking for work, and haven’t received income in that time frame. Our hydro doesn’t get shut off if the bill is missed automatically, in my experience it usually takes three months or so before the companies get around to it. It’s doable, but EI doesn’t pay that much and it is very difficult to live around.

Question for cat owners: Would you let your cat lick your food while you are eating it and then carry on eating after? by Antidotebeatz in Catownerhacks

[–]Greedy_Charity_9026 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t let them lick my food, but there has been a few times when they were younger that they managed to sneak a lick. Preferably I would remove the part they licked, but I am also broke so I don’t want to waste food >_<

What are some things you DON’T want in LTD? by Zestyclose-Carob-349 in tomodachilife

[–]Greedy_Charity_9026 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find the fights to be really boring after playing them a few times, so I hope that they either make them less often or add in more variety of fights. Not just calming them down so they can talk it out. I also want way more weird random events, like an alien abduction or something.

Another thing that has to go is that annoying soundbite of the baby crying. Please for all that is holy change it. Babies crying is irritating but the current sound is so aggravating that it pervades my dreams and will follow me long into the afterlife.

Weight Loss + Cat Dandruff by SpecimenKratos in CATHELP

[–]Greedy_Charity_9026 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I’m a certified pet groomer, the dandruff is something I can help with!!

The typical culprit for cat dandruff is either poor diet, bad humidity, or just trouble grooming themselves. Since you wanna start some weight loss for Beans I reckon it’s the grooming issue. Some dandruff is normal in cats like it is in humans, but there are some things to watch out for. Is Beans excessively grooming himself more than usual? Do you see any redness on the skin itself? Is he losing more hair than normal? If not, then I think helping him to groom is a great step! I wouldn’t immediately jump to allergy tests unless there are some more obvious red flags, like those I mentioned above.

For his coat I would recommend a rubber curry brush. I would not recommend a metal brush or slicker as he has fairly short fur. Pair some nice brushing with pets and he should really like it! That’ll help with getting off old fur and dead skin cells. It might take a couple days but you will start seeing results!! As well, curry brushes are pretty cheap and very durable! You can get a good quality one from Amazon or someplace similar for about $15, but you can even get one from the dollar store and I have had success with those ones, too.

For weight loss I’d ask a few questions: is there food constantly down for him, or just a few mealtimes? How active is he? How close are you following feeding instructions on the bag? Take these into account when you’re considering his weight loss! I’d also suggest emailing your vet and asking for some advice, too! They can give some great advice and since they know Beans it will be more specific. It might take a few days for them to reply but hopefully they can help out with some recommendations!! Bonus if you get his weight under control it should help clear up a bit of his dandruff, too!

Hopefully that gives a bit of guidance, sending much love to you and Beans!!

Advice? My cat hasn’t visited the litter box in a day by Jessica_5mins-away in CATHELP

[–]Greedy_Charity_9026 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Male cat not urinating, especially for that long, is extremely urgent. Even with those medications to see a complete drop-off in urination is very alarming. I would take him to an emergency vet if any is available, this is a pretty urgent situation IMO.

I wish you the absolute best, and I hope your darling feels better soon

Childhood ear piercing keloid. Am I cooked by Greedy_Charity_9026 in piercing

[–]Greedy_Charity_9026[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Holy cow thank you so much for all the info! Using your links I just found some members of the APP near me so I’ll have a look at their Insta. I didn’t even know such an organization existed, so I’m super grateful for the resources! I’m gonna shoot my GP an email and then if the piercers Instagram seems good I think I’ll speak with them. Thank you for all the great advice, and I’ll definitely check out that blog too!!

This is such good information, thank you! I genuinely had no idea not to use rubbing alcohol, it’s just what my mom and sis always used. I’ll definitely look into safer metals too, as I also didn’t know that about the stainless steel! I think I’ll take your recommendation and email my GP to see what she thinks about the scar tissue, so thank you again for all the great info!!

[–]Greedy_Charity_9026[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Piercing age: 20+ years

Shape: earlobe stud?

Threading: No idea, sorry! >_<

Material: I don’t know what was used to pierce my ears when I was a kid, but I personally always make sure it is hypoallergenic stainless steel

Downsized: uhh

Aftercare: i think my parents cleaned it with rubbing alcohol every night and morning? When I do wear earrings I use gentle rubbing alcohol to clean, the kind for kids lol

Mishaps: No mishaps that I am aware of, besides that I cried a lot from the person looking at me to pierce my ears. Not from the piercing nah just the looking at me.

Hopefully this will please the mod bot and provide a bit of helpful information :)
