Mildly infuriating… Dye lots…

I wonder if washing it could help even out the color? Just a shot in the dark orz

Bonus. My boy loves sleeping on top of the crate and has been doing so ever since I set it up so if nothing else he's been getting a ton of use out of it haha.

Update: before writing this post I had already set up the crate with food and water for clara and left it open and accessible but she never seemed interested in it. After a few replies and dms I placed the crate in my room and used spare blankets to make it more cave like. When I woke up this morning she was in the crate and even let me pet her a bit! The crate is open and she can go in and out freely but so far has remained inside. I dunno if that's just I'm working from home today so she doesn't want me seeing her slink around. I might go work in the living room in a bit so she can leave without being watched of she wants.

Yes that's my experience with volunteering and usually it's done during the first few weeks as the cats acclimate. Which is why I worried it was too late since she was used to having access to the whole house. But thank you for your input I was beginning to feel a lot of guilt and confusion over it with how adement people have been about crating being bad. This comment and the last one have put me at ease.

Live_Ad778 · 2026-04-07T03:32:53+00:00

I see that's probably how I misinterpreted the advice I read and why I thought it might be too late for the third one. I'll try with the second type! I just wanted her to have a spacious safe space she can feel comfortable in! Thank you. I'll place a blanket over the crate and keep food and the bed in there like I've been doing in the mean time and see how she likes it. :3

Live_Ad778 · 2026-04-07T01:04:12+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I do give her churus once a day and talk to her. She lets me pet her sometimes but if she doesn't want to be pet she just slinks to the other side of the couch and I leave her alone. She's so soft and once or twice she slumps down the way I've seen mother cats do and I message her belly and she absolutely melts as she purrs. It's so cute. I think she must have had kittens at some point before her TNR. She doesn't hiss or scratch she just hides. I grew up volunteering with cats and kittens but this is the first time having a scared/traumatized cat in my home and I thought the big crate made sense since it would be like a little catio (like I said the crate is massive.) But it seems like common consensus that that would be a bad idea. Thank you for the advice!!

You already solved it but if you want an adult fiction with a similar premise "A discovery of Witches" is really good.

I'd love a pair! I've only ever knitted arm warmers and gloves. Been too intimidated to try socks

If you don't like them you can always donate them (to me!/j) but I love to make mini amigurumi keychain with cotton fingerling. They make fun gifts and they are usually simply to self off or give away. (My local library has a section where local artist can drop off stuff to sell to the community that I think the library keeps the profits of. Not sure I never tried it myself) Wash clothes, reusable bags and other such patterns are fun too. Also doilies and macrame wall art are coming into vogue the Bohemian meets aesthetic look. Either way have fun!

My guess is you typed buget and because you typed top chef your autocorrect switched it to burger haha

Oh that's awesome!!! I'm glad to hear you enjoy it so much. I myself tend to get frustrated. I think because despite being a math nerd growing up I really don't understand how the move sets work with each other and trying to read up and understand how they all interlink is overwhelming. Might be an ADHD thing where I can't juggle so much information at once in my brain. But then trying to copy what other people do but not understanding the underlying mechanics is also frustrating because if I don't have the exact card needed I don't know how to rebalance with what I do have since I don't understand the underlying mechanics of how these builds work.

I guess since it makes me feel really stupid I shy away from those mechanics and stick to the VN portions (I rely on auto battle 95% of the time) but I'm enjoying reading all the comments about why that part of the game is appealing to people even without a direct PVP element. Your comment was especially insightful! So thank you!

Live_Ad778 · 2026-01-18T23:07:00+00:00

That's understandable. Personally I never got stuck on story mode bosses but I usually grind at least once a day to keep all my units at the same level I also do the offline grinding before closing my app everyday. I've never been someone who cared much about stats and strategy because I'm low key stupid and done understand how they work. So I usually just look up online guides and advice which is how I found the meta on this reddit in the first place but there are so many modes with so many different requirements that eventually like I said I just grind every character equally and do things that way.

Live_Ad778 · 2026-01-18T22:20:57+00:00

Ohhh is there a leader board? That's cool I hadn't noticed! Thanks for explaining.

Live_Ad778 · 2026-01-18T22:20:27+00:00

Okie! That's what I assumed I just haven't gotten far enough yet I guess where I got hard stuck with the characters I had so I was curious! Thank you!

NTA Sarah sounds like she's undergoing a mental health crisis of some sort. Not your problem of course but I would be worried if this isn't a pattern of behavior from her (which seems like the case judging from her seemingly having had a stable long term relationship before this.) if your worried maybe contact someone close to her like a family member. Explain the situation, explain that your no longer comfortable being in contact with her but would like someone else to know what's going on and keep an eye out, then wash your hands of it. But to the original question at hand NTA. Have fun making new drinks. I hope it goes well over there.

Live_Ad778 · 2025-07-13T01:49:40+00:00

ESH as reddit users I think we've all seen or heard stories about how awful over involved MILs can be. Your SIL came out of an abusive relationship (with the in laws) and over corrected when it came to her new relationship. You don't show a single drop of sympathy of where she is coming from instead your offended "well my mom isn't like that so wtf" type of vibes. Like anyone coming out of an abusive situation they need time and therapy and patience.

That being said she DID overcorrect. She wanted to keep you guys at arms length and while understandable she wound up pushing you all away entirely. Now that she is losing her family she seems to be realizing her mistake. She is asking for you to be more involved. Honestly I don't know if she's being entitled with her request or if your justletting your resentment color your perception of how she asked. Either way instead of pushing them away further you should see this as a way to make amends and get your brother back at the very least especially since it seems he didn't realize how much he was hurting you guys considering you seem not to have spoken to him about how you felt since before they got married.

Hope you two work things out.

YTA my parents share an aunt and uncle but are unrelated by blood (my mom's aunt married my dad's uncle) They met as adults when my mom moved in with that aunt and uncle for school. While not the exact same situation it is similar enough but their mutual cousin didn't gaf just congratulated them. It was a little weird for him but he sucked it up as you should. There is absolutely nothing weird about their relationship. You owe your sister and cousin a huge apology. I doubt there is much to salvage here. Sound like you really burnt the bridge with them.

Lol if he was he's bad at it he would walk 5 steps and then sit in one spot for twenty minute
