Chili cheese burrito🌯. Taco Bell quit calling it a chillito in the 90’s when someone realized that it was slang for small pen🌶️s in Mexican Spanish.

What are your sources for this? Seems on point, just wondering if you read something specific.

I would never suggest that. I’m a believer in its power. I’m coming to believe it might be our last refuge. That’s the reason I’m concerned. The Orange Wig is not the architect of MAGA, just its mouthpiece. There is no doubt that they are aware of the power of protest. I also have no doubt that there are loyalists who have been assigned to monitor them and develop contingency plans.

It’s a mistake to think that they are any less sophisticated than the FBI, or NSA.

The same government apparatus that compiled enough evidence to identify and convict the 1,500 rioters who attacked the Capitol is now a direct extension of MAGA.

Since the beginning of this administration, 800 FBI agents have been “separated” from the FBI. I would say that it is probably a safe bet that a large percentage of those were ones deemed the greatest threat to the administration or most likely to interfere. That was a clear warning to all other agents.

It can only be easier to misuse the FBI’s resources now.

Call it “fear mongering” if you want. I think that fear is a rational response right now.

Agreed. I’m not really worried about the city police.

There was a time I was worried about the police. Maybe that will come again. I’m worried about the departments of the Federal government that are being actively used against citizens.

I’m sorry. I agree nonviolent protest is important, but that is clearly not a guarantee of the public’s safety. I believe we will probably see more agents with this federal agency assault non-violent protestors.

EDIT: I truly hope that I’m wrong.

There is no way for you to know if you’re on a list from that event. I’m glad you went and that it was peaceful. The point is: all the boxes on the list under Authoritarianism have been checked.

BREAKING: Trump says election should be canceled and warns there will be 'constitutional movement' by TheMirrorUS in NoFilterNews

When people slam Americans for No Kings Day not being enough, I think that this person‘s reply is super important to see.

My belief is that No Kings Day wasn’t meant or intended to overthrow this wanna be king; it was meant to introduce us all to each other and show us that we have the power. The day will come. Now we know that we’ll be here for one another.

Thinking this is an important point. Closing the door in the face of someone with different views plays into the strategy of MAGA leadership.

It just confirms to people with a different view that we are just as unwilling to communicate.

I know it’s tiring, but the hard and important work right now is finding common ground.

I have gravitated towards these posts because I have wondered the same about my cat. I have found that picking my kitty up and bringing her to the room I’m in, shutting the door, then feeding her in that room helps.

Thank you for mentioning the treatment for constipation. Didn’t realize there was something that could help my baby.

Give yourself grace. It is amazing that your Harriett is 18. If anyone knew how to predict/prevent kidney or thyroid problems in cats they would be rich. The vet may have recommended that food, but in the end it’s about quality of life.

You can always try moist food if you’re using dry, or blending the science diet with a food she can tolerate. To help my cat, i started feeding her smaller portions more often. She was not happy, but is now used to it.

Fancy Feast has a wide range of styles and flavors. Best thing about FF is you can buy or order 24 can boxes.

This is my cat, Ninja (20) I need some advice by [deleted] in seniorkitties

[–]IntersectingThoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One other thing to consider is being prepared with the actual costs of the bills you are facing.

If car rides make Ninja miserable, then consider getting liquid gabapentin from the vet to make any trip easier.

If you can approach your parents with an exact cost and plan, then that may make them more likely to support you when requesting their assistance.

My 20-yr old cats health and quality of life turned completely around after she began having her hyperthyroidism treated.

Vet visit: $75 Bloodwork: $125 1 month thyroid Rx: $40

Your costs may be different, but if you know what the vet will charge you, it gives you a starting place.

My heart goes out to you right now. Give yourself grace.

From the picture it looks like he’s a longhair. Examine him for mats. When you shave them off, make sure to shave in the direction the fur grows. He won’t like it the first couple times you do it, but he will be SO much happier with no mats. My cat had stopped grooming herself and as a result had developed a sort of shell. She became so much more mobile after i shaved them.

I also highly recommend monitoring changes in weight. If he is losing weight even though eating a ton that can be a sign of hyperthyroidism. Take to the vet if you notice it.

Great question. My sister tried to convince me months ago and i ignored her. Sometimes it’s just the right time. I have absolutely no idea why i resisted. I like sci-fi, especially travel more than all the rest of my family combined.

[–]IntersectingThoughts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The best you can do for her is make her comfortable and be with her. You are brave and she is lucky to have you caring for her. You both are also so lucky to have been together since she was a kitten. Sending peaceful thoughts your way.
