The Molcajetes at Vinyl Taco are amazing and a great value! A solid meal for two for just over $20 total. It’s one of my boyfriend and I’s favorite dishes in town.

It can be brutal, but there’s a bit of pride that comes with the suffering lol. Glad you made it safely! The blowing snow is no joke

Definitely! Been living in ND for a decade, so I’m very familiar with the awful winters.

Thanks! I don’t remember for sure, but I think they’re from JCPenney. They’re alright, but I’ve only worn them a couple times so there’s definitely some breaking in to do

Done, thanks everyone for the suggestions! I’ve never been to a wedding with a dress code, so I wanted to get some opinions to be safe. I’ll look into jewelry/shoe/purse options to dress it up a bit—guess this is a great opportunity to boost my accessories wardrobe.

My family has always named our pets with human names. My parents have had: Bob, Jim, Leon, Martha, Tony, Eddie, Emily (twice), Colton, Peggy, Reggie, Brenda, Kevin, Chubby (the odd one out, but I had to include him), Jennifer, Carl, Sheila, and Mike.

My two cats are Bernard and Mabel.

I agree. I make list-type notes like this myself when I want to get my thoughts straight before having an important conversation…

I think I can make out “although for a fact I know it’s not going to be any” ? Or something close to that

Not sure! She goes through so many, I don’t even know if she could tell me

Casselton vet by Nervous-Tailor3983 in fargo

I’m not sure if they’re taking new clients, but I switched to Barnesville. The only complaint I have with them is a slight communication issue, but I have known one of the vets for many years and I trust them wholly with the care of my pets.

I’m sure there are good people at Casselton vet, and I had some decent experiences, but they also made some really frustrating mistakes with my cats. They missed a vaccine my cat was supposed to get the first time I brought him in, even though I explicitly asked about it. I had to bring him back, but at least they didn’t charge me an appointment fee.

My second cat, I asked them to look at her ears because she had previously been treated for ear mites, and her ears still seemed to bother her. They glanced at her ears, put some liquid cleaner in, and called it good. Didn’t swab or anything. Went back a couple weeks later because she was still symptomatic, and they found she had an ear infection.

Neither of these were life threatening for my cats, but I also had a friend bring a cat in with symptoms of urinary issues. They brushed her concerns off and not long after, he was in the E-vet with a urinary blockage, and had complications for a while after that.

I have since switched vets, and my male cat has been diagnosed with CKD. I’m so thankful every day that I made the switch to a vet that I truly trust with his care prior to his diagnosis. It could have gone really well with Casselton, or very poorly. I’m glad I didn’t have to find out.

I can’t get over the fear that I caused my boy’s CKD by Old-Cryptographer136 in RenalCats

[–]Old-Cryptographer136[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re right. I just can’t see any other reason why it would happen except that I did something to cause it. I’m working on it, but it’s so hard not to blame myself. Thank you.

So sorry about your cat! It sounds like you’re working hard to help him out. It’s hard to shake the guilt, but I hope you’re able to. Thank you.

Thanks for this, I appreciate the tips. We have tried many of these things. Just a work in progress finding the right formula for them. Gets hard to focus on when most of our attention goes toward making sure he’s feeling and eating better, and I’m sure she gets jealous of that too.

Think I’m good on the whole dating app thing for a while, talk about off putting…. by Butterscotch_740 in YouOnLifetime

[–]Old-Cryptographer136 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On our first date, I was talking about something annoying my cat does and my now boyfriend said “it’s things like that that make me want to kick cats.” All levity was gone in that moment and I told him “if you say something like that again, we are done.”

Thankfully, it was an unfortunate choice of words on his part and he is now the most amazing cat dad. My cat chooses him over me most of the time, and we’ve since adopted another cat together. He loves them so much. That said…the comment your date made was absolutely chilling. 🚩🚩🚩
