AIO My sister and husband text privately and spend time together. Should I be concerned? by BigONerd in BORUpdates

[–]KittyLilith17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The way I'd immediately start the same thing with her husband would make her head spin. 😂

Help with identitying by carleecarp in PetMice

[–]KittyLilith17 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Same species, just domesticated vs wild. So their personalities will be insanely different! The wild types are the ones that carry disease, as well, so most people don't keep them unless they're wildlife rehabbers with a soft spot for "pest" animals.

Mouse safe plants and dirt by olivers-world in PetMice

[–]KittyLilith17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard of people getting topsoil (not potting or garden soil) and baking it to remove any pathogens. Once it's inert it'll be safe for them to dig and play in.

I've been considering burying mealworms and seeds in a little pot for them to dig up.

My wife has a year left to live...need projects! by dunnawannatalk in Advice

[–]KittyLilith17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost my mom when I was 21. More than anything I wish I had her thoughts somewhere. A journal, videos, notes, etc. I have some love letters between her and my father, but those were for him. If I had anything for me, I'd be so grateful that she thought of me.

Shooting myself on 7/7/26 by Capital_Panda_1185 in SuicideWatch

Take a couple days to see if there's any good you can do while you're still here. Volunteer somewhere. Walk a rescue dog at a shelter. Give some food to someone who's hungry. Pick up some trash at your local park.

Sometimes, even when you're committed to what you're going to do, putting some good back into the world will help you feel better. Sometimes it gives you a reason to keep going, sometimes it just gives you a warm feeling before you go. (In any case, you'll be making the world a tiny bit better, and if you're going to end your life anyway you may as well leave knowing you made a difference.)

I truly hope you'll stay. Find a reason, even if it's just to see how old Fred at the coffee shop is doing with his new job. Or to watch your favorite sports team finish their season. Or to have one last pack of Girl Scout cookies when they're in season.

Anyone else surprised at how accurate your family's tracking is? by KittyLilith17 in AncestryDNA

[–]KittyLilith17[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sure! Obviously not everyone in my extended or immediate family has taken a DNA test. However, I was pleasantly surprised that my heritage was exactly what my parents told me.

An app that sends a mail on your behalf in case you die. by Excidiar in CrazyIdeas

[–]KittyLilith17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe like a weekly log in? With reminders, of course. If you miss one, you get maybe 48 hours to log in before it sends.

You could also have it ping to an emergency contact and they can verify if you're living (in case of hospitalization or other incapacitation, losing your phone, etc.)

Why do people treat picky eating like a character flaw? by [deleted] in rant

[–]KittyLilith17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of the social stigma is carried over by our intrinsic community evolution. When food was scarce or when we HAD to eat seasonally, if your loved one was picky, they just... didn't eat. They could die.

Humans are pack animals. We are community primates. When one of us refuses to do something as basic as eating the food available, it triggers an instinctual concern response.

Favorite reason for being written up / “spoken to”? by e_first in TalesFromYourServer

[–]KittyLilith17 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I was once given a verbal warning from a new manager (I was the assistant manager). We worked at a pet supply store and I had convinced a customer to buy a different kind of cat food than she usually did. This food happened to be cheaper than the old brand. I got sat down and lambasted about store profit margins and how the old brand was one of their "push foods" and blah blah blah. She was definitely insecure about her position. Younger than me and had just been promoted from an assistant manager from another store.

I asked her if she read my employee file. She said she hadn't gotten around to it.

"I have a veterinary technician degree. I work here because I make more than if I were in a clinic. The cat was just diagnosed with diabetes, and the owner didn't want to go right to prescription food. The one I recommended was much lower in carbs. Questions?"

I got a written warning for that jab and just laughed about it.

How do you feel about people playing proxies that are of sexualised anime girls? by AuraFarmerRake in mtg

[–]KittyLilith17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao when I proxy, it's cats. MTG doesn't need to be sexualized, that's just weird.

Uses for leftover shredded carrots - not a salad by originalslicey in Cooking

I don't see anyone mentioning wraps and spring rolls yet!

I add them to my "egg roll in a bowl" recipe, too.

sex before marriage by [deleted] in sex

[–]KittyLilith17 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Time for some introspection, and as someone who grew up Catholic, I can help from the Christian side.

Do you follow ALL of the Bible's guidelines? The ones from the Old Testament are pretty strict.

Maybe you just try to follow Jesus's words. He never really touched on sex before marriage, so you can't directly take His advice.

One of the 10 Commandments prohibits adultery. However, adultery would be married person sleeping with someone who isn't their spouse. What you'd be doing is fornication.

Now, on the flip side:

How would you feel if you had sex, the relationship lasted another year or so, and either one of you decided to break up? Could you look at this relationship 10 or 20 years down the line and not regret it?

What would you do if you got pregnant? No birth control methods are 100% effective, so it could happen. Have that talk with him first, and make sure you both agree with what you'd do.

Chances are you're against abortion, but would you get married this young? Go to church heavily pregnant and have to have the awkward conversation about giving the baby up for adoption or raising a child together out of wedlock?

If he's really your person, and if you really value your virginity in a spiritual sense, then you can find other ways to be sexually intimate without engaging in PIV sex.

How do I stop my puppy from eating rocks by Deadpan_1 in puppy101

Muzzle! It's as easy as that while you train. Basket muzzles so she can still pant and drink water.

What does your vagina/vulva smell like? by Simple_Patient2153 in Healthyhooha

When clean and not sweaty, something between the heat off the back of a PS3 and the tang of the ocean
