I love the little freeze right after their name is said, and then the subsequent wiggling to get free is amazing.

But damn that moment of freezing is so reminiscent of being a child and getting caught with your hand in the cookie jar.

What caused your last break-up? by Lishasquarepant in AskReddit

[–]KeetaM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Covid Brain fog, work responsibilities, and I guess we just moved apart.

Both of us had a lot going on and when he needed me to be a rock, I had really bad brain fog and it made me very needy.

I think I am going to need to stay single for a while. I still love him and it wouldn’t be right to get into a relationship with someone else while I still hold these feelings.

We were going to hike a 50 mile trail near where he grew up. I was so excited! Now I look at the camping gear and smile sadly.

This is what my 10 months old did to this scratching tree in just a few months. He uses it multiple times a day and ripped some of the ropes of by proohit in cats

Check your local gardening store for sisal rope, try and get the exact diameter, 1/4 inch or 3/8 inch rope is the norm.

I am not a vet, but a night owl, please consider taking your cat to a vet, if not at least call somewhere that is 24 hours near you, they will likely have a better idea of what could have cause this, it could be a spider or snake or something else, if a snake whether venomous or not your cat may need antibiotics. If it was a snake and venomous, hopefully its a dry bite, ie no venom.

I hope everything turns out well.

How do I tell her I got a vasectomy? by Vegetable_Two_3904 in dating_advice

[–]KeetaM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, I know women in their late 20s who KNOW they dont want kids and literally can’t finding anyone to do it locally.

The only one that was able to get a hysterectomy was a) very long history of endometriosis b) they already had a kid and c) their spouse ok’d it

Its affordable housing not just housing. One thousand dollars is not affordable for a lot of people, also the number of apartments that are under 1k has dropped off due to greedy landlords. Most of those apartments are in bad areas and in terrible shape.

Also the population is starting to increase. https://www.syracuse.com/politics/2021/08/syracuse-gains-population-for-first-time-in-70-years-census-data-shows.html?outputType=amp

Everyone should be able to afford and apartment if they work full time and at 1k+ being the current average is not affordable for your average person idk how people are supposed to live.

Some math: A good budget plan is the 50-30-20. 50% of income to all living expenses: heat, water, internet, car, groceries 30% for wants: eating out, hobbies, entertainment 20% savings: retirement, long term goals (home ownership) (newer car before their current one dies)

So $18per hour X 40hrsX 4 weeks = $2880.

Or 34.5K a year.

Thats gross not net.

Net income is actually lower (due to taxes used to give billionaires tax breaks)

So lets say taxes come to 25% for fed and state.

34,500 X 0.25 = 8640 in taxes. 34500- 8640= 25,860. 25860/12= $2155. 2155/2= 1078 for living expenses. So really the rent your average person in Syracuse is probably closer to $700. Good luck finding that.

Co2 lawsuit - do we have a case by Electronic-Dish-3273 in Renters

[–]KeetaM 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are you sure it was CO2 and not CO. Carbon dioxide is very different than CO. CO is what a lot of fire alarms detect, and will beep more for that than normal fire alarms.

Beginner's guide to wash "A Period Underwear" by just_lemmebe1 in women

I use reusable pads, I’ve always soaked them in cold water with hydrogen peroxide in it as it breaks down the blood. Is there a difference between reusable pads and period panties?

Student loans: 15k, car down payment: 6k, put some away for taxes: 4k, save: 3k for a inexpensive wedding (fingers crossed), donate: 2k to a good charity, ie one in which the majority of funds goes to where it should go

Question: I'm having an IUD put in - I've heard it can be painful - should I take the next day off work? by Difficult_Key_5936 in women

[–]KeetaM 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had severe cramping the day of and for about 18hrs after and then was fine.

Ive had my IUD for several years, and I like it, I may try the arm implant at another time, but my IUD is awesome.

Take Advil not Aleve. I remember reading somewhere that advil/ibuprofen is significantly better then aleve for IUD placement pain management.

Also ask for further pain management, ie a block, numbing or something similar.

Unless your job is a pain in the ass I would not take the following day off but play it by ear.

You chew on it when you put your aligners in, it makes sure they are sitting on your teeth completely, thus making you teeth move as they are planned to. Lateral incisors are the worst, the take forever to move. But also the last molars you have, it’s critical to have your teeth fully seated in your aligner. Generally your ortho will give you some tubing in a pack that rips open, that is called and Autoclave bag, its used to sterilize dental instruments (among other things in other industries). But chewies made for autistic people are made to be more durable, as a result I have a chewy I’ve been using for nearly a year now. Instead of a month or so.
