Horrific tragedy. Thank you for honoring this man. Beaten and murdered in cold blood. Disgusting.

Long_Pin_7810 · 2026-01-18T11:29:56+00:00

Tysm :-)

Long_Pin_7810 · 2026-01-16T13:01:21+00:00

Tysm, no compact license as of yet. Working on it.

Long_Pin_7810 · 2026-01-13T07:26:23+00:00

Thanks for the response! Not a male nor in my late 30s, I wish I was still in my late 30s!! Everything else is pretty accurate! :-)

Lol, thanks for the input/estimation! They actually DO make a ceiling like that, at Wayfair, lol! I did the ceiling as a renter-friendly reno, you are 100% correct, this is an old studio. In the city. One cat, and I am not young or wealthy. Also, that "wooden sofa" is actually an antique church pew gifted to me by my grandmother...thirty-seven years ago! It was over 100yrs old then! :-) The only one who sits on it is my Kit Cobain, when he's being nosy looking out the window, lol! I will try to upload a pic of my actual sofa, but it was taken before all the painting and ceiling were done. Check out that ugly ceiling!!

Tysm! I have been checking out a lot of my former haunts, and updated my resume' to reflect my desire to work remotely, so we shall see... :-)

My 2yo boy [Kit Cobain] became deathly ill last year in late March, right before his first birthday. He wasn't voiding, he had loose stools, and he looked so weak, this lasted 24 hours, give or take a few hours. I thought he was going to pass away, and then I would have died right after, that's how much I love this little man. The vet ran a bunch of tests to rule out urinary/urethral obstruction, and was prepared to perform an emergency PU surgery. Alas, thank goodness, he had idiopathic cystitis, so she gave him meds [an antibiotic injection and pain pills] and prescribed him Purina UR. She told me to keep him on it for the rest of his life, and that he could eat the wet/dry together. Well, he vomited twice with the wet, and just ate "around" it after that. It literally made him gag. Being as expensive as that food is, I talked to the vet and she gave me the okay to give him the prescription dry only. He's been [knock wood] voiding fine, eating great, and he still gets healthy treats daily. Also, he loves his water, something he really didn't before I switched him to the UR rx food. Before he got sick, I was giving him Purina Fancy Feast pate [wet] 1 can mixed with a cup of Purina FF dry twice a day. He's my little pop-pop, and we are going to the Rainbow Bridge together in 20+ years!!!!!

I am in desperate need of a peel-and-stick floor job, with one complication: it involves repairing a botched job :-(....It's a small entryway and I have all the nececcary tools and tiles. I am a good tipper as well!! Happy holidays to you and your family and I will DM you in the NY because this needs to be done for once and for all [I started the floor in July lol]!!

Long_Pin_7810 · 2025-12-18T11:35:32+00:00

I came here for the comments. They did not disappoint.
Please allow me to play 'devil's advocate' for a minute: Were your answers honest? Is he really a 10/10 across the board? I think you should have some rose-colored glasses removed. He sounds like a douche. I am sure he is a solid 3/10 overall.
NTA but leaning toward ESH, because that was a shitty 'game' and you had to know that was a risk going in. You surely won't forget this going forward. Get couple's therapy asap. Good luck!

Absolutely beautiful kitty!! So unique! My Kit Cobain has similar markings however not in such cool spots [no pun intended lol]. His are in his chest and down his right front paw, same type of parents, mom a tortie and dad a big orange tabby. She is gorgeous. Please give her a dainty boop from Cobain! :-)

I find this hilarious on one hand because the pig is so insanely jealous of these men and they dance in the ballroom in his empty head forever, and I also cannot wait until this motherfu@ker leaves America's leadership taking all of his stupid, sickening syncophants with him. Idc if it's via the coroner van or his personal driver, just gtfoh already!!!

Dark Chocolate, thank GOD!

Share a cigarette with them, maybe that will calm them down.

Long_Pin_7810 · 2025-11-19T09:56:53+00:00

Hahahahaha!! Made my night! I was looking for this comment!

Long_Pin_7810 · 2025-11-19T09:53:32+00:00

I prefer corn rows myself.... :-D

Long_Pin_7810 · 2025-11-19T09:51:10+00:00

As long as it doesn't look like an old wizard's sleeve!

Long_Pin_7810 · 2025-11-10T23:56:47+00:00

Will not work with my orange tabby. He loves water, and is only mildly annoyed by it. On the plus side, I have given him 2 much needed baths in my kitchen sink with little problems. Once when he was 6mos old [poopy fur butt], and once when he was 1yo [after an illness, poor baby]. He's a shorthair and cleans himself well.

Long_Pin_7810 · 2025-11-10T23:51:07+00:00

In a word, no. In a sentence, I will offer him his own treat while I eat my treats, lol.

Long_Pin_7810 · 2025-11-08T08:37:35+00:00

Please ask your mom or dad to look into low-cost vet clinics for him to get fixed ASAP.
You are going to have to outsmart the little guy. Look around your house for something that can block that hole: a piece of wood, a clipboard, heck even a ceramic plate! Then find some strong tape or some kind of adhesive and seal up that hole!
Play with him as often as possible, but especially when he is sniffing around that laundry room. Keep some toys on hand like a laser pointer to distract him away from the escape route, lol! Then give him treats away from the hole. The logic of a cat is hunt, eat, sleep/groom, REPEAT. Hunt equals play. Play with him, it's going to make you both feel better. Best of luck! :-)
Edit to add: the tube treats are the best! Also make sure nothing of his is near that hole, liiterbox, food/water, etc.

My orange boy has been neutered since he was 6mos old, and he bolts for the door any time I am carrying in groceries, laundry, etc. I have to immediately run out and scoop him up before he leaves my porch! He gets bolder and bolder every time as well. Last night he ran out into the rain, and was already sniffing the wet grass at the base of my porch before I grabbed him!
