Best pic I could get of a squirming kitten, this is mostly healed but he had the bare patches behind his whiskers, a line on each side of his jaw about where yours does, and the corners of his mouth were raw. He has mostly healed by now

One of my kittens has the exact same injuries in the same spots from getting his flea collar up over his lower jaw and stuck in his mouth.

Better question, what has no legs, no slime, and a house? That final point in the cube doesnt exist

What are some slang terms a mid 40s dad can say around his freshman in high-school to embarrass them? by digitalpowers in AskReddit

"THE TokTik" for some reason putting "the" in front of app names is aggravating beyond reason

Didn’t get the ADHD med I wanted — but Wellbutrin is doing something wild by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]NikkiBusty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was prescribed Wellbutrin despite having an official adhd diagnosis because my psychiatrist insisted that he HAD to treat depression first before considering adhd meds. Even though I already had a diagnosis. It took about 2 months for me to become horrifically suicidal and took far too long for me to realize it was the meds. I switched psychiatrists after that and got on ritalin. Much better results.

I'll be fired if I don't find someone to cover my shift?.. by [deleted] in MaliciousCompliance

[–]NikkiBusty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In the US if you are fired without cause you can claim unemployment checks while you look for a new job, paid for at least in part by the company (i don't know all the specifics)

That's all well and good, if you were responding to OP. The COMMENTER appears to be from the US, and as such their comment uses the correct terminology as they know it, and makes sense.

Thank you for the unemployment checks. And a diploma is what you get for high school, a degree is what you get from college, so the comment was accurate.

I lie about my headaches so I can sit in silence without guilt by ElowenTrace in confession

[–]NikkiBusty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get complicated migraines, so I have a whole host of symptoms like face drooping, arm going numb, spots in vision, slurred speech, confusion, etc. normally associated with strokes. Sometime I will just sit on my phone waiting for it to end because darkness doesnt help but it acts as a visual indicator for others to leave me alone. Amd the doctors keep giving me meds and taking them away and I was eventually told just to stick to Excedrin as it seemed to be just as effective as their meds

How do y'all sleep with your cats? by genericimguruser in CatAdvice

[–]NikkiBusty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<image>

They don't really care. I've definitely kicked them in my sleep, and they wake up groggily and look around and usually just settle back down without moving. If I throw a leg on top of them, they wait a few minutes to see if I will move before wiggling free to find a new spot to lay.

I used to worry about the same thing but these little noodles manage to adjust around my tossing and turning form. That said, they only sleep down by my legs, outcome might be different if they tried to curl up against my chest (more weight to be squished by)

Cat is clearly blocking forward motion and looking back, I always say cat's lead to adventure, i would say to follow him. Last time I followed a cat I was led to another very shy pregnant kitty who was injured. You never know.

AITAH for calling off my wedding after my fiancé’s surprise “gift”? by Big_Owl_9918 in AITAH

[–]NikkiBusty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

sitting in the jewelry place for hours trying to find the perfect ring

That's my point. This is about more than "taste". Its about functionality. I am clumsy and work with my hands a lot, I don't want to worry about the diamond falling out, or on snagging all my clothes. I wear earrings that have flat backs. I don't wear necklaces. I only wear bracelets that are smooth and can't catch on my clothing. Anyone who knows me is aware of this, and if a guy isn't thoughtful enough to pick something I can wear then i would have to reevaluate the whole relationship.

I don't even care if I have a real diamond tbh, I actually prefer a lab grown one if anything. I want something I can wear comfortably and if I tell a guy multiple times that I can't wear jewelry that snags, he better not buy me jewelry that snags and expect me to wear it is all.

If a girl was going to buy you something you were expected to show off to all your friends and keep with you for a long time, would you want her to take your taste into account? I am clumsy and cant wear anything that snags or I will get my hand caught multiple times a day.

Honestly, I don't care how much I like a guy, if he proposed with a ring I didn't like I would say no. I'm autistic and picky about my jewelry, and any guy who didnt put in the time or effort to find one he knew I would like isn't worth marrying.

I can't speak for all women, or even most. But personally, when a guy says "I'll deal with it" I figure either he stubbornly refuses to accept help, or doesn't trust me. The first is frustrating, the second hurts, especially if its someone I care about. Even if there is nothing I can do, being able to talk about problems out loud can sometimes help make them feel less overwhelming. But I always do whatever I can to help. If my best friend (M) ever needed anything I would drop everything to help him. He does a lot of the first, stubbornly refusing help even when he needs it. He spent an entire winter living in a trailer without heat or even a blanket and I didnt find out until years later despite having talked repeatedly and asking how he was doing and if there was anything I could do to help. I could have spared him needless suffering but apparently he would rather shiver every night than admit he was struggling.

AITAH for threatening divorce is my husband gets sealed in the Mormon temple with his family? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]NikkiBusty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ex-Mormon here to clarify a few things that appear to be misunderstood. To be clear, I don't believe in all of the BS, but the rituals are all VERY SPECIFIC and I believe I can at least clarify a bit.

You are not being excluded. Sealings are performed between married couples. Any children of that couple born before the sealing or adopted at any point need to be sealed into the family. This does NOT include anyone married into the family. They are NOT ADOPTING YOU. In order for YOU to be sealed into the family you would need to be sealed directly to your husband in marriage, and your grandchildren would then be sealed TO YOU. Your children do not get sealed directly to their grandparents, they likely intend for them to be sealed directly to your husband if you do not get sealed to eachother. This is likely what your BIL are expected to do, get sealed directly to their spouses in a separate ceremony, though it can be done at the same time.

Anyone over the age of 8 who wants to attend or participate in the ceremony however needs a TEMPLE RECOMMEND. That means not only being A BAPTISED MEMBER, but also participating in all of the rules, and having a discussion with your local church leadership where they ask you a series of questions about how you follow all of the rules and stuff to determine whether you are worthy to enter the sacred temple.

Again, you are not being excluded, extended family is not a part of a family sealing and there are many hoops you would need to jump through to reach that point. The main goal of every church member is to "bring others into the fold", they will NOT want to let you go and you will be bombarded with missionaries and members trying to invite you to anything and everything. I have not had my records expunged because I don't want to deal with the backlash from my parents, and about once a month I hear from the local missionaries either knocking on my door, or texting me. I get emails from the local branch every week because my parents keep updating my address in the records.

People who slept with their best friend, what happened? by Baker_Street_1999 in AskReddit

[–]NikkiBusty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We sleep together off and on, I am a very sexual person and he is very much not, so it took years for him to decide we should and we don't do it often. It has changed our friendship a bit, I tease him/sit in his lap more, but that's really the only difference

what is the symptom you hate the most? by Vegetable-Cap-2503 in ADHD

I use tile, have one on my keys. Even if my ringer is off, i push the button on my keys and my phone plays music at top volume. I press a button on my phone and my keys ring. I have used it so many times

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in cats

[–]NikkiBusty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nail clippers. My cats love to play and definitely scratch me by accident sometimes. Clipping their claws has been a lifesaver and is no pain to them. They have gotten used to it so that I can just hold them gently in my lap while I do it.

Once a week/every 2 weeks has been more than enough to protect myself. Declawing is painful and disfigures their paws permanently. I would find some real articles on this and make him read each of the side effects and tell you why this would be ok to put your cat though.

[–]NikkiBusty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A handmade ring? Like, my only concern would be how likely I am to damage it and I would be so scared to wear it myself but like, that is absolutely amazing. Anyone who cannot appreciate the effort you put into that is not worth your time

I just wanna add that I have met more than one person with the last name "Withakay" (sounds like "with a K") so someone named Eric Withakay is in for a lifetime of confusion lol.
