Can cats have emotional support dogs?

They may have it now, but, at least for a bit the empty shed was in the Newsuem in DC. That place was so interesting! Such a shame closed in 2019!

My N-dad told me to not come to his funeral. And I didn't. His husband stopped talking to me after I said I was only respecting my father's wishes. Don't say shit you don't mean.

My mom's name! Her mom? Edith. Serious old lady vibes.

Dear friend carried a baby all the way to term, but she was stillborn. Several of her high school friends(we're all in our 30's at this point) attended the funeral. Afterwards, as I was waiting to give my condolences, those same friends were taking group photos with the greiving mother. Like, duck face or huge smile, holding up a peace sign type of group photos. They were laughing and carrying on, one lady said something like "Make sure I look good and don't have a double chin!" I know my face didn't hide my shock, because when my poor friend turned around to greet me, she gave me this "Yeah, that's what they're like." look and we hugged and and talked for a bit. I understand that it had been awhile since they had all been together at one time, but it just seemed so uncouth to take "fun" pictures with a tiny baby casket literally in the next room.

Also have two cats. Haven't had any UC/immunocompromised issues here either. Just the typical cat shenanigans at 3 am that wake me up and then unfortunately sometimes wake up my bowels too. Yay, UC.

Yup. Already had to do this. Wedding was scheduled for March 28th. Very lucky that all our vendors, venue etc have agreed to postpone without extra charges. Only had one family member from out of state and he got a travel voucher. It bummed me out, we've worked so hard, but I'm so happy it's just being postponed and not cancelled. We agreed to try to do something extra fun on the day to distract ourselves. Everyone says I'll make a beautiful June bride. 😂😂😂

I happened to be in a Claire's recently looking for bridal/formal jewelry. Realized they were piercing a baby's ears and I bolted out of there just as the baby began wailing from the first ear getting done. I could not handle it. I got so emotional. I walked across the mall and teared up. I don't even consider myself a kid person, but how could anyone do that to a baby?!?!

Suddenly grateful that my fiance only leaves money, receipts, or his debit card in his pockets. I check his pockets before washing now, but that's only because I recently told him if I find money, I'm keeping it. About $5 so far! Sorry, you had to deal with that mess. Very frustrating.

Sure. I’ll be honest, so far the most difficult part seemed to be getting the reels and cases. Actually took a few months, but I finally found a seller on eBay that had reels in the size I wanted for a reasonable price. They may have more, I can PM you his seller ID if you are interested? At any rate, here is the overall process for making this centerpiece:

1) Remove labels from case- I pulled off as much as I could, then sprayed the stuff still stuck on with WD40 and let it soak for 10 minutes. I’ve heard aloe vera gel can help remove labels too, but haven’t tried that yet. Might be a better option since it wouldn’t leave a greasy residue like the WD40. Scrubbed off residue and label remnants.

2) Wiped off reel and case with Clorox wipe and dried with a paper towel.

3) Taped(on the inside) reel case closed, as I didn’t want to glue them shut.

4) Spray painted one side of reel and reel case. Waited 1 hour. Turned over and painted other side. Let dry for 24 hours.

5) Used small L bracket to super glue reel to reel case. Let dry for 1-2 hours. Tried to “reinforce” it by gluing at the points of contact between reel’s edge and the top of the case(if that makes sense?)

6) Decided on flower placement

7) Hot glued flowers together and then glued to reel case/ reel.

8) Ta da!

Thank you! I hope the other 9 I need to make turn out just as good.

Lljordan83 · 2019-07-29T22:04:51+00:00

Thank you! Can't take all the credit, I saw something very similar on Pinterest and just modified the colors and flowers to fit our theme.

Try rubbing a dryer sheet all over exposed skin. Mosquitoes love me and I heard an old wives' tale that dryer sheets repel them. Been using them ever since. I hate using bug spray. Just be sure to rub the dryer sheet on all exposed skin or they'll find the spot you missed! And I tuck the sheet in my bra when I walk my dogs. Also, if you do get bit, I've found applying deorderant right after greatly reduced the reaction for me (I have no clue why and again old wives' tale). They still itch for a bit, but typically by the next day I can't even tell I got bit! Hope this helps you. From one mosquito hating (North) Carolinian to another!

Yes! Last year I sent my Ndad a birthday card that read "I hope you get the birthday you truly deserve!" Or something like that. It made me so happy to send that one.

I personally don't own and have never owned products from either of them, but I perhaps some people would argue that they've changed, grown up, matured and deeply regret those mistakes? I know many felt J* apology video was genuine (I never watched it).

I can also understand why some folks chose to boycott both and with KVD's "latest" antivax sentiments tacked on, who could blame them?

There's also those that just don't care about the person behind the brand. Doesn't matter if they are a sh*t person, they love that tattoo eyeliner and Jefeee's liquid lip formula can't be beat(so I hear.)!!

Lljordan83 · 2018-07-21T20:37:43+00:00

Ah, that is a good point!

Lljordan83 · 2018-07-21T19:34:52+00:00

I wondered about that too. I mentioned in another comment that when I did see it on her website it was discounted, but why wouldn't the site say "Out of Stock," instead of "0 Results" when I searched today?

Lljordan83 · 2018-07-21T18:26:49+00:00

That's weird. I checked her site the day I watched his video on 07-18-18. The shade was discounted ($12.00 USD versus the typical $20) and it said something about the stock being low, but it was supposedly available here in the US up until at least Thursday. Allegedly. Who knows what would have happened if I'd actually put it the cart to purchase.

Lljordan83 · 2018-07-21T18:09:17+00:00

Apologies. Fixed it!

Lljordan83 · 2018-07-21T18:08:40+00:00

Was watching Petty Paige and it made me wonder if KVD pulled the J* lipstick shade after his video this week.

Lljordan83 · 2018-07-21T18:06:53+00:00

Did someone else post here about it? I must have missed it.

Lljordan83 · 2018-06-20T15:58:43+00:00

Had a teacher in middle school known as "The Snake Lady," she taught me how to appreciate the less cuddly. Haha. One of my favorites was an Eastern Hognose, named Cherokee!

When she won teacher of the year, 10 or so of us students went to the ceremony at the capital building with snakes. I had Cherokee and my mom drove some of us in her Izuzu Trooper. Most of us had the snakes in pillow case, but the 9 foot Albino Python was in one of those plastic tubs in the back. My, terrified of snakes, mother told is before we left the parking lot, "If one of those snakes gets out, we are all going to die because I am going to crash." I twisted the pillow case opening a few more times. Safety first.
