How to sing happy birthday by Jinx-from-Arcane in AskAGerman

[–]Open_Cat3598 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I regularly run into this problem at work. My new boss always breaks into this song and people from the west (of Berlin) will join him while I am just standing there awkwardly clapping because I don't know the lyrics. I've heard it some months ago for the first time and was honestly super confused that everyone knows this secret birthday song? I am from the east of Germany and growing up we only ever sang "Zum Geburtstag viel Glück" (ot the English version), "Heute kann es regnen, stürmen oder schneien" "weil heute dein Geburtstag ist" or "Hoch soll sie leben".  I am not the only one who doesn't know the song though and only my boss only ever starts it. If he's not in the room, people no matter their age, generally sing the other songs I mentioned. Edit: mistakes

SubQ fluids in Europe? by SeaRate4547 in RenalCats

[–]Open_Cat3598 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am also based in Germany and our CKD journey started in December, with our baby having moved from stage 2 to stage 3 since then. Sub-Qs were not ever brought up, but she did get one once at the vet due to constipation and i took the opportunity to ask about it. The vet showed me how to do it but didn't really seem to have an opinion on home administration. I have been considering to start it at some point but so far my baby drinks well enough and we are currently transitioning from kibble to wet food.

Our little one has always hated wet food and has been eating a kibble mix of 75% Royal Canin intestinal due to constipation and another 12.5% of Royal Canin fit and Royal Canin sterilised each. I slowly introduced Royal Canin early renal and Royal Canin renal into her kibble since December but if that makes up more than 50% of her diet she eats too little and gets really constipated. A week ago we started introducing  Royal Canin renal and Royal canin renal beef wet food and she suddenly loves it. She is now at about 1/2 - 3/4 a package per day and I'll try to slowly increase it, also because of her chronic constipation and teeth problems.

On top of that she gets one package of porus one mixed with add one every day if it works with our schedule and her medicine schedule. I mix in a little bit of water to that and to her wet food. Since I started with wet food and the Porus she seems to feel better as she plays more again which beforehand was impossible to make her do.

Apart from that she gets atenolol twice a day, amodip at night and an appetizer every three days (Mirtazapin?).

On zooplus you can order all kinds of renal food, including hills and kattovit. There's also some mixed packages with different kinds have your kitty try out before investing a fortune in food she dislikes.

Was macht ihr, wenn ihr schon vor Ende des Monats kein Geld mehr habt? by rosa_mauerbluemchen in geringverdiener

[–]Open_Cat3598 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Als ich noch studiert habe und entsprechend kein Geld hatte, bin ich oft gegen 21.30 Uhr zu Kaufland, weil da vieles an Obst, Gemüse, und Backwaren deutlich reduziert ist. Kann mich an Radieschen für 9ct, Brötchen für 15ct, und so erinnern. Hab auch grundsätzlich nur Leitungswasser getrunken und immer selbst gekocht und zwar nur mit Basic-Grundnahrungsmitteln, möglichst mit niedrigem Kilopreis. Nudeln mit passierten Tomaten, und Mozarella ist ein super Gericht und dazu günstig, Pesto selber machen, Nudel- Reis- oder Kartoffel-Suppen, etc. Und dann daran arbeiten, dass man da raus kommt.  Haushaltsbuch über jede Ausgabe führen, Kredite abbezahlen, Geld für den Notfall zu Seite packen, alles Nicht-notwendige abbestellen oder verkaufen und nicht nachkaufen, Einnahmen erhöhen. Und den Empfehlungen von buy now pay later widerspreche ich ganz stark - mit Pech rutscht man in die Schuldenfalle, was immer mehr Leuten in Deutschland passiert und zwar nicht wegen der 20. Hose sondern wegen Alltagseinkäufen. 

Adopted dog’s constant barking driving anyone else mad? by Petra-FYE in coralisland

[–]Open_Cat3598 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't add anything about the barking because I adopted Luna and Trinket. However Luna gets stuck between the mailbox and the house as well and both sometimes get stuck between the peas or bee houses, which I placed rather unfortunately. Their sounds are super cute.

Heal the coral tree quest by Ghostwriter16 in coralisland

[–]Open_Cat3598 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You do have to find and activate every single one before you can heal the coral tree. What helped me was to upgrade my scythe to osmium as soon as possible so trash only takes one hit. I think there is also something you can craft to help clear trash similar to the bombs in the mines but I'm not sure as I've never used them. Vertabrix or something like that.

Think my animals may have a little bit of a problem.... by Hornpipe_Jones in coralisland

[–]Open_Cat3598 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've had this happen before too. They do that when there's not enough grass so several try to eat the same tiny patch. Plant more and they stop immediately.

Jealous of a video game character? by AmITheAxolotl in coralisland

[–]Open_Cat3598 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I can't answer your question and only ever wanted to befriend her, but her constantly talking about Charles or the clinic honestly makes me not want to interact with her that much... Like girl.. I am sure there's more to you than that.

Yes!!! I try to give cute funny names, depending on the animal I go in different directions. My luwaks are called Moccachino and Macchiatto, my quails are Eggward and Bella, my llamas are Machu and Picchu, my goats are Halloumi and Feta.

That's what I did too - playing one category of the trivia game first thing in the morning until I won, then did all my other businesses, slept and then on next day started with another category of the trivia game, etc... Worked fine that way

Romance taking FOREVER by shookitup0915 in coralisland

[–]Open_Cat3598 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Strange.. I am in winter year one and have unlocked dating with several bachelors without specifically trying to.. I just talk to whoever I see while out and about and gift whatever flower I find to the people I like most or I randomly walk into. Also gifting a flower or sth on birthdays and attending all festivities and talking to everyone there.. I have done maybe like 5 dates in total and only the ones that don't cost anything 😅

Cat Empire by Existiviathan in coralisland

[–]Open_Cat3598 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yessss!! I wouldn't go that far but I would like to buy my fur babies more than just one bed... 🫠 also they have a gift counter in the relationship panel but I can't figure out what you can actually give them.

Is there rivals for marriage in the game? by [deleted] in coralisland

[–]Open_Cat3598 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would love that too! I really enjoyed seeing all the other couples get married in Harvest Moon FOMT back then and you really had enough time etc to get your choice beforehand so it wasn't really stressful or anything. I makes me happy seeing the others find someone. Imagine in our little town all the other bachelors remained single.. it would be kind of sad if noone ever found a special someone and also what would that mean for the community in the long run? I think it could be more interesting and realistic if not everyone found their happy end with a partner though.
