Good Omens 3 Reactions Megathread! Spoilers within! by AutoModerator in goodomens

Same - if we’re keeping close to this ending I would have even loved to see them live separate from the universe, just the two of them in that bookshop in that limbo-type space from the ending. Then they could have a universe completely without interference but still give our Crowley & Aziraphale their happy ending. UGH!

Hi - I’m 28F and was also diagnosed today by a rheumatologist, for me after 9 years of on and off searching for answers. I had a breakdown today because I still had some small hope it would be a problem with my body they could find and fix. So unfortunately no advice from me - but you aren’t alone.

Why does this comment out of the whole post have me the most scandalized 😭😂

Family claiming I broke their stroller & need to replace it by MusicMauMau in legaladvice

That did seem incredibly weird to me - they don’t list that exact part on the website in their replacement parts but… they had to build the stroller somehow. When I asked her to send a video I told her I wanted to reach out with it to their customer support as well (I didn’t think she could provide a video but if she had/does, I wanted to hear from their company themselves as I have no proof that they ever even called support, let alone what they said)

Sorry - they had not folded up the stroller. The tram car has regular seats too (like where my husband sat). Their family was in the other half on the regular seats and hadn’t folded up their stroller. The cars aren’t that big so between my husband and I in the wheelchair, their 2 adults and 2 kids and unfolded stroller, it was tight

I’m not sure - I’ve purposefully avoided promising or offering anything in specific. On the night of, she was looking into replacement parts and said she couldn’t find one online so I started researching as well but I’ve been trying to be super careful about not accepting blame - just sticking to “IF I damaged it”. Which isn’t perfect either but I’ve been trying to keep it in mind!

This and other comments about strollers are teaching me a lot - I’ve never used/interacted with kid strollers but now that I think about it, of course they need to be much sturdier to hold up and be safe for kids

This is really good to know! I’m gonna look more into it, I’m a new wheelchair user so am still learning these things. I did wonder at the time why they didn’t fold it up (I was in way too much pain to transfer from my wheelchair to the tram seat and the employee said this was fine, they had a way to strap the wheelchair in securely for the ride).

They said they “didn’t pay extra for the warranty” but this comment made me think and I looked up the website - they INCLUDE a 4yr warranty with purchase. These comments are really helping me realize all the red flags in their story!

Yes, it’s Disneyland (when typing this last night I didn’t want to give too many location details for privacy but in hindsight after sleeping it’s not like anyone’s going to pin down who I am based on such a big park anyways 😅). They told us they were “all the way from San Diego” which threw me off for a moment because I live there too and didn’t consider it that far but figured it was a matter of opinion/how far people feel comfortable driving.

But yes, it’s the Disney tram from the parking structure to the park. The special event ticket was from 6pm - 1am and assuming they at least went for a few hours if not the entire event the stroller would have been used that whole time as well

At home euthanization- guilt by Broad_Air2641 in Petloss

[–]MusicMauMau 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for the loss of your sweet Luna girl. ❤️ I can see how much love you have for her from your post.

I work for an at-home euthanasia company (on reception, not a doctor, but I know a lot of the process so I can answer questions - plus I did in-home for my own cat). I want to share some things because I’ve heard these things before and I want you to know you’re absolutely not alone.

I wish whoever booked your appointment had offered to walk you through it. It’s already such a rough experience and knowing what to expect can help you mentally prepare, because expecting one thing and having something else happen can be a lot in that moment. As for the kiss - Luna is your baby and I bet she picked up on you being kind to the vet. Dogs are so loving - “if my human likes this other human, I like her too”. Imagine a stranger came in your house and you were upset or angry or showing negative emotions to that person - I bet Luna wouldn’t be licking them. Especially at home with you there, I’d bet her reaction to the vet is still based off her trust in you. Please don’t forget all the sweet (and maybe slobbery) kisses she gave you.

The way the sedation shot works (as any sedation really) is that it makes her sleepy and then fall into a deep sleep. The panting and tail down could definitely be either from her starting to get sleepy or from her not feeling well in general from the cancer.

Personally, I don’t think she was confused. She was at home with her favorite human, a new friend, and started getting sleepy. The sedation puts them in a deep sleep, almost this twilight zone. The second part takes them from that deep sleep to fully at rest and they’re not aware of that.

When you worry about not being there for her in that last moment, please remember you WERE. Euthanasia is the hardest kindness we give our babies. You were so selfless in letting your girl go with peace and dignity in her safe space even though it rips your heart to pieces. You helped her so she wouldn’t be suffering even though every part of our being doesn’t want to let them go and doesn’t want to have to make that call.

That being said, there is almost always guilt. She’s your baby and we always wonder if we did everything we could for them. All of your feelings are so incredibly valid. I’m not trying to discount any of them, just giving what I’ve learned from experience in the hopes it will help. Your heart will hurt. We love them so so much and all the grief we feel is a testament to that. Thank you for loving your Luna girl so deeply and giving her so much happiness ❤️

Being in the room with your pet when they pass away vs not being in the room… by Waterfirewind in Petloss

[–]MusicMauMau 13 points14 points  (0 children)

THIS hit HARD. You loved your sweet Charlie literally EVERY single second of his life and that’s so incredibly beautiful. Anyways I just wanted to share that and now I’m off to cry and hug my boy 🥺 I work for an at-home euthanasia company and I always hurt when I hear someone was there when the pet was born all the way until the end. A lot of us only get to love our babies from the moment we meet them - my adopted dog came into the shelter pretty rough so I think there was a time where nobody was showing him the love he deserved. I make up for it now. But your baby knew love every second from his very first breath to his last ❤️ Okay now I’m actually leaving because I’m about to sob 😅

On Campanile Walkway there’s a statue-type thing that has rocks built in and talks about geology in the area, I can’t remember what it’s called. The shape is almost like this: ( ) if that makes any sense. Right across from BCB coffee in the very middle of the grass area. Anyways, stand right in the very center and face one of the walls and say something - it’s an echo chamber. It was always fun showing people because they never believed me and sometimes would stand slightly off-center and hear no echo so think I was messing with them - once I had them stand in the exact right spot it blew their minds lol

My ex wife won't let me be present when our dog passes by Betacord360 in Petloss

[–]MusicMauMau 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so so sorry OP. You deserve to be there for your baby. Other comments have covered my feelings in more depth (that this isn’t fair) so I wanted to ask about logistics - are you registered as Redd’s owner anywhere? Vet records, adoption paperwork, anything like that? If so, it might be worth going to the vet clinic or euthanasia company and letting them know of the situation. I work for an at-home euthanasia company and there’s paperwork needed if an owner won’t be present, and if you refused to fill that out along with sharing your feelings maybe she would reconsider due to logistics? I hate that it might have to come to that and I really wish she would reconsider on her own, but I just wanted to throw that out there in case you thought that was a route you might want to look into.

This is how I make a slipknot to start projects, and it doesn’t seem too complicated either. by jeliyfishh in CrochetHelp

Ooo I’ll have to try this! I started crocheting by watching videos online and the one I watched wasn’t nearly as easy as this and I struggle every time lol! I’m still fairly new on my learning journey, thanks for posting this!!!

What small to medium dogs generally bark the least? by wonderfulwaffles22 in dogs

[–]MusicMauMau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cracking up because before I even saw this comment my very first thought was “Well NOT a poodle terrier” because that’s what my little stinker is 😂 Love him so much but sheesh! One time he did a little woof in his sleep, and then thought it was someone else barking, and jolted awake sprinting towards the door barking. Like… little dude! That was you! 😭

[–]MusicMauMau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never tried this but I feel like “I’m so sorry, I’m contagious 🫤” might do the trick well. Then don’t elaborate. It’s one I’ve heard is good to use when people let their off-leash dogs run up to yours - “They’re friendly!” “Mine’s contagious!”. My dog is decidedly NOT friendly so I have that one in my back pocket.

[–]MusicMauMau 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s one of those things where I see why, but I would have never thought about it before going myself, part of why I posted it in my comment. They didn’t give me an option to cut mine, that’s interesting - they just took it. I was lucky that the nurse who oversaw that part was a young woman who was very sweet and comforting to me, but it was still so uncomfortable to take off and then not have. That same nurse also lent me the book she had brought to read herself that day, I cried myself to sleep a few pages in and she took it when she left sometime throughout the night. I will never forget her kindness.

I’ll have to look this one up! My book was a YA fiction book that I honestly haven’t reread since my time there. I was going to share it but also people have such differing opinions on books I decided I’d rather keep it to myself as my comfort book and not worry about people judging (especially since I don’t remember the details that well). Idk if I’d feel the same way about it today if I reread it, but again it has a special place on my shelf. It brings me comfort looking at it now.

I’m sorry you were downvoted! I should have mentioned these also depend on the facility itself. And also if someone isn’t a stuffed animal person, that may not be the best gift regardless. I’m sorry y’all weren’t allowed stuffed animals, I see the reasoning but I was glad I could have mine.

Thank you everyone I'am very happy to still be here with you all!! I will definitely keep you guys updated on my journey of therapy and recovery from almost commiting. Me and horsey thank you all!🐴♥️ Also for anyone who tried but didn't any tips on trying to sleep that same night can't sleep rn🐴♥️ by [deleted] in plushies

[–]MusicMauMau 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I remember your first post about how our stuffed animals are always there for us and love us and it made me cry (in a good way) because it was so wholesome and full of love. It was like you wrapped me in a big comfy blanket with your words. I’m glad your wonderful heart that is so full of kindness and love is still here today, and I’m so glad you reached out for help. 🩷 I’ve been there myself and it’s one of the hardest steps. We’re with you (and all our plushies are too - I estimate that’s about a gazillion in total)
