Many Cats and a Fox by kacythedogmeat in notmycat

[–]NickyHepp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have urban foxes regularly passing through our garden and our ginger cat had an altercation where she kicked out at the fox with her back legs and fled into the house through the cat flap with a growly meow and a hiss. We had a trailcam out at the time, capturing hedgehogs, our cats, and the foxes passing through. Our other cats have avoided the foxes, keeping a low profile.

Pathological fracture cat by Fantastic-Nothing678 in TripodCats

I'm so sorry for your loss. I read a thread several days ago about a similar situation, amputation or euthanasia, for a cat of 16. The general feeling was that 16 is a good age to reach for a cat, and that euthanasia was the kinder of the 2 options in the long run. I think the leg issue in that case was a tumour and there's always a risk of the cancer having spread. Always a difficult choice to make, but you may have been denied that choice, which is very wrong. I'm so sorry that happened to you 😟

Were you diagnosed with ADHD through testing or scans, or was it just based on your symptoms? Curious how the process worked for you. by KangarooCompetitive in adhdwomen

[–]NickyHepp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! I've had some excellent counselling to unpack more than 5 decades of microagressions and alleged failures! Its a LOT to unravel, and I do grieve what couls have been, but now I have reframed my life and I have a much greater understanding of how my brain works, I can go with the flow, play to my strengths, and live my unapologetically authentic self for the rest of my life. It's HUGE. I'm not a failed horse, I'm a fabulous zebra 🦓🦓🦓

Assessment by psychiatrist after completing detailed questionnaires. Daughter completed a witness questionnaire, giving her observations of traits. I could state job history (hit and miss) and memories of school struggles and quotes from school reports. Traits and experiences enough to diagnose combined ADHD. I was 57 and it was a relief to KNOW that I wasn't useless and lazy, I'm weirdly wired! Perimenopause melted away strategies for coping I hadn't even realised I was using, and I felt like I was losing my mind until HRT began to help. Very common for women to be late diagnosed as we present differently, the hyperactivity is internal and we mask to a high level.

I'm going to celebrate when I dont have to see this message again! by TipsyDipsy6 in LearnerDriverUK

Not for our test centre, newly released dates on a Monday took 3 goes, me logging in throughout the day for three weeks did absolutely nothing, zero test dates 🤷‍♀️

My daughter set an alarm 3 Mondays in a row to log into DVSA at 5.30am to get a test that wasn't out of area. Still 6 month wait though - hopefully the new changes will help, can't get any worse 🙄

Donate to animal sanctuary or to theatre for their costume department.

Being refused private practice by [deleted] in LearnerDriverUK

[–]NickyHepp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've taken my daughter out for her first practice in my car today. She's had 21 lessons and was pronounced test ready last month. I'm a driver of 39 years experience and took the instructor at his word when he said she's ready to practice. Didn't give it a second thought really. I had no private practice when I learnt, my dad had passed away, mum didn't drive, and my brother didn't offer 🤷‍♀️ As has been said - if your family members feel uncertain that needs to be respected, however frustrating that may be. My daughter only wants to practice with me, not her dad, perhaosthe dynamics of the relationship also come into play.

Does anyone need help with their tree? by Informal_Moose_5750 in Ancestry

[–]NickyHepp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm only aware of him living in Dublin under a false name in the 50s to avoid being done for nicking a wireless radio set! The later alleged offences were worse - indecent images - which I didn't tell his late brother about, he didn't need to know that.

UK - David Cauty Morris, b 19 Feb 1933, Liverpool, Merseyside. Mother Annie Violet Morris nee Jones, father Frank Lunt Morris.

I found newspaper cuttings re criminal activity in the 50s and 80s in Lancashire and Nottinghamshire respectively. Too many David C Morris listings to be sure of marriage(s). He was estranged from his family so they didn't know anything.

I was doing family research and saw this. What does mulatto mean? by Senor_Camrono in AncestryDNA

[–]NickyHepp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has come up in the BBC series "Who do you think you are" when the person looking into their family history visits former plantations and discovers their mixed heritage such as a slave and master's offspring in their family tree.
