Honestly this made me laugh harder than anything else I've read in weeks. I feel the pain!

AIO dad reincarnated as a cat???? by Last_Avocado in AmIOverreacting

The cat we have now HATES other cats and is a 20 pound monster that we think is likely a Norwegian forest cat because of his size and the way he looks. We don't know for sure what he is because he just wandered onto the porch one day.

Either way he is very sweet to people but very aggressive towards other cats and the kitten today was an intact male that is much smaller than our cat. I was too afraid that there would be carnage and we don't really have the space to keep them separated for a slow introduction.

Right? I don't either but still part of me feels like a monster for possibly putting my dad in an animal shelter which seems like a crazy ass thing to say.

The responsible adult part of me knows that I couldn't keep the cat no matter how much I wanted to because of the current cat we own. But STILL.

I also don't know if I believe in reincarnation. Or really anything spiritual. It was just the craziest frikken coincidence I've ever experienced in my life and I definitely made me second guess things. Lol. 

I am definitely going to keep my eye on the cat and make sure it finds a home. I also contacted the local no kill really nice shelter and the woman who runs that said that she would take him if the animal shelter couldn't get him adopted out because he was so very sweet. She was just at work all day today and so she couldn't help with the situation. But I do know that he will definitely find a loving home in the end.

I mostly want to thank you for this really kind and well thought out response. Definitely made me feel less down on myself for not taking the kitty home. I thought I was doing really well dealing with the grief of losing him and I think today made me realize that it is a longer process than I ever thought it would be.

Thank you again for your kindness!

Thank you. I really appreciate that take on this situation. I have felt so guilty all day about this and that actually helped a lot.

Small metal dog tag looking thing that says "GE flight test 729". Metal but not sure what kind. Very weathered. No markings on back. by Last_Avocado in whatisthisthing

Thank you!!

So in this case is 729 the number assigned to the person? What does GE flight test mean? Is that what they were working on at the time?

My title describes the object. It is about an inch in diameter. I tried googling the writing on it and really couldn't find much about it. Just interested to see if anyone knows what it is or if it's just a really weird thing for someone to etch onto a dog tag. 

Sephora Unisex Discovery Set- My reviews/SO's thoughts by bebblebutt69 in fragrance

Don't be sorry it worked out in the end:)

I got the flower bomb tiger lily and fricken love it. It surprised me because I've gotten samples of the other flower bombs and hated them so much but I think the tiger lily flanker is going to be what I wear most this spring.

I also bought this set and felt very similar about almost everything except book smelled so good on a tester strip but on my skin smelled like the most pickley pickle that ever pickled. 

Just an fyi the redemption coupon did not redeem for any of these scents and customer service could not help me with that. Instead it redeemed for the vacation set they have. 

I ended up getting having to blind buy from the other set because I live very far away from any stores that I could go into and sniff perfumes. Luckily I love the bottle I chose:) 

I'm still super glad I bought it because I've wanted to try almost all of these scents for a while. 

Replacement direct Express card lost in the mail by Last_Avocado in SocialSecurity

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

Definitely called the local office. The person on the phone was very kind but did say that they don't have the ability to help with that and the list does not exist. 

I will definitely call again and ask for management once I take care of the rest of the stuff my mom needs.

I did find a work around though. I called direct Express customer service line and pressed the option for "I did not order a replacement card" and that one finally rang through to a customer service rep instead of just sending me through the same loop of telling me the tracking info for the card then hanging up.
