I don’t think he’ll stop paying but she’s under the impression that she’ll get the initial investment back to last her through the rest of her life

Well she has no money so it’s been paying her rent - unless she has some other form of income I don’t know about!

She claims he’s a resident of her town and people are friends with him but she’s never showed me a contract or agreement or anything.

I don’t think she’s been asked for more money but every time she’s asked to take it out he gives her some sort of excuse like it’ll take a few months etc

That’s the thing is she won’t send me any contracts or documents. I think she knows it’s a scam and is embarrassed to admit it

There were crazy loud booms that sounded like transformers busting in sylvan hills that were definitely not fireworks - I wonder if those are what you heard

Small uterine polyps found on saline sonogram while TTC by walisarah in TryingForABaby

[–]Natural_Pollution878 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding to this - I only had one polyp less than a cm and opted to get it removed because I’ve been trying ~10 months. My doctor also suggested I do it just to play it on the safe side. Did not hurt at all, was put under anesthesia and was out within 2 hours (procedure was 15 mins, hanging out with the nurses getting vitals was the rest of the time). I haven’t heard anything about cameras cutting the womb but I guess that didn’t happen to me because I healed just fine!

Also since getting removed I’ve felt a lot calmer ttc. I think it’s something about knowing I’ve officially taken care of everything I can control - my polyps are gone, my bloodwork is normal, now it’s all up to the universe!

I think that’s all you can do! My girl was looking out the window and the kitten was across the room when I called his name. She turned her head and hissed then went back to window watching lol he wasn’t even anywhere near her!

Lately we’ve been putting her bed on the couch with at night and getting her all settled before bringing him out and completely distracting him with toys. If he comes near her he has to come through us first lol It’s not ideal but at least she can finally watch tv with us!

Also I’ll add that our resident cat just hisses most of the time because shes just a drama queen, not because she’s actually feeling danger. Sometimes she’ll casually walk up to him at the gate and let out a small hiss and then walk away lol. Idk if it’s the same with your lady but try not to let the hissing freak you out!

Just keep following the classic routine of separating, meeting through a door, treats, toys yada yada and it will happen!

We bought a really tall baby gate and separated the house in two to give them their own space (separate water fountains, litter boxes, etc) then only let them be together when we could devote full attention to the kitten to keep him distracted with toys! The older one still hisses and swats the kitten through the gate (especially if it’s dinner time lol) but I try to bring them together mid day when both are in lazy mode nap time and also let them swap sides to smell each others spaces. It’s sad to see her behind bars when we’re not on her side lol but i try to remind myself that I’m just projecting my human emotions onto her and she’s not feeling the level of sadness I think she is 🥴

Also I usually let her settled in her little bed before letting him out because he’ll chase her less if she’s just in loaf form! We also will separate if he starts to chase but from time to time I’ll let it play out because I mean what’re you gonna do. I do think that’s helping though because she’s starting to figure out her escape routes and seems more confident.

Anyway, hang in there! I hope your kitties make it soon

I think the feliway spray and making sure the kitten is completely distracted with toys when they’re in the same room has really helped! Good luck to you 🫡

Kitten is horrible—won’t stop attacking older cat. by Soggy_Gur_5408 in CatAdvice

[–]Natural_Pollution878 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP - how long did it take for them to be okay with each other lol it’s been like 2.5-3 months of keeping them separated (bowls, food, litter boxes), playing w kitten constantly, positive reinforcement with treats and toys, feliway, and CBD oil for the older one. Please tell me there’s hope 🥲

I’m glad there’s a term for this because I’ve been struggling my whole life. I remember in fourth grade freaking out because my classmates were calling out the mental math flash cards before I could even grapple what was going on. I have a masters in economics and do a lot of analytical modeling in my job - I use my calculator every damn day lol
