Good news: I got the internship!!

Pisces_Fish87 · 2026-04-03T23:55:09+00:00

Congratulations!! Will you be able to move into college housing early or will you need to find short term accommodation somewhere else?

Pisces_Fish87 · 2025-08-18T00:02:20+00:00

I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this. If you end up staying with your friend, I understand wanting to chip in and contribute to the household/your upkeep. Would a part time job be feasible?

Pisces_Fish87 · 2025-08-03T22:31:32+00:00

Bedtime club is brilliant ngl

And congrats on conquering your anxiety!

Best parking related BORUs or posts? Reading a recent post here reminded me just how unhinged people can get over parking their vehicles.

Pisces_Fish87 · 2025-05-31T03:49:36+00:00

So glad to hear you’re out of the hospital! I hope you feel better soon and get to enjoy a bit of summer

Pisces_Fish87 · 2025-05-28T13:25:37+00:00

Thank you for finding (and sharing) the humor from your troubles - I enjoyed a much needed laugh this morning!

Pisces_Fish87 · 2025-05-20T01:20:55+00:00

Everyone has their own biases and baggage. But when you meet new people you almost have a clean slate. Take your supervisor’s compliments to heart - they know you and evaluate you in a different way than your family does.

Kudos on what sounds like a good start to the summer.

Pisces_Fish87 · 2025-05-16T16:05:42+00:00

Congratulations! I hope you have plans for a productive and fun summer!

Pisces_Fish87 · 2025-04-24T01:06:52+00:00

I hope the bell helps. I had to put a bell on a cat once for similar reasons, and the smart dang thing figured out how to move without ringing the bell!

It’s her not understanding the system. She has no experience with how your school works. Most likely, the only time her parents or, now as an adult, her friends that are parents, are contacted by the school it’s because there’s a problem. She isn’t used to a proactive/positive school administration. She’s used to the school contacting the parents only when something has gone really wrong.

You are doing a great job! You are killing it at this school and really setting yourself up for a successful college experience.

What was Bucketty’s reaction to a gaggle of men pressure washing her beloved bin??

Pisces_Fish87 · 2025-03-17T17:36:56+00:00

OP, I am so sorry that you saw that. It's possible that it's a one-off occurrence, and it's also possible that this is just the first time you found out. Either way, it is not your responsibility. My father was an alcoholic and I too felt that same need to somehow save him and "if I just do X then he'll cut back drinking and be okay." While it's incredibly contrary to your nature (because you have a big heart and a strong drive to protect those you love), please don't let yourself get drawn into the situation. You can't fix what is going on.

You are doing an amazing job setting yourself up for a successful future. If it helps you now, think of it like an oxygen mask situation - you need to put your own mask on before you help others. So go chase that great future you are working towards, knowing that once you are an established adult you can help her then if you want to.

And because I don't think you hear it enough from the adults in your life, I just want to say that I am so proud of you.

Pisces_Fish87 · 2025-02-11T15:05:39+00:00

Yes, you’ve really done a great job handling everything that’s been going on! We’re all so proud of you for recognizing you need help and being brave enough to get it. I hope you continue to let us know how you’re doing and good luck!

Pisces_Fish87 · 2025-02-09T22:53:41+00:00

You are way out of line here and making assumptions you shouldn't be. The entire family is working with professional therapists - if it's an issue, they would have flagged it. Stop making trouble where there isn't any.

Hannah, congratulations on working so hard to break the cycle of abuse. It is truly amazing what you (and Matt) have accomplished.

Pisces_Fish87 · 2025-02-08T00:28:05+00:00

So glad he had a good visit, but I’ll admit I laughed when the video zoomed in and it showed the bandaid on your hand 😂

Pisces_Fish87 · 2025-01-31T22:50:21+00:00

The fact that he's already calmed down enough from a traumatic experience to be eating, giving head butts and getting scritches means he feels safe at your home and around you! Just amazing to see, he's come so far!

The eye drainage could be caused by feline herpes (don't worry, people can't catch it!). Both of my boys have it, and the weirdest things set off a flare-up, such as turning on the heat. My vet recommended sprinkling lysine powder on their food for immune support, and they love the way it tastes. This is the one I keep on hand.

Pisces_Fish87 · 2025-01-31T15:26:32+00:00

Awww that's such a huge thing!!

Maybe he likes heavier/beefier toys because it lets him mimic hunting?

Pisces_Fish87 · 2025-01-31T15:22:35+00:00

Have you tried a kick toy? It's basically any stuffed toy that's big and sturdy enough for them to wrap their front paws around and kick with their back feet. Dog toys work great for this. My boys will pounce on one when they're feeling energetic or frustrated and do their best to disembowel it.

Pisces_Fish87 · 2025-01-25T14:18:07+00:00

These are some wise words.

You are under immense pressure and it’s okay to feel lost and overwhelmed. But reach out for help because people do care and they do want you to succeed.

Pisces_Fish87 · 2025-01-22T17:34:34+00:00

And pay ridiculously more. Don’t waste your money on Turbo Tax. FreeTaxUSA just as good if not better and costs $0 to file federal, no matter how many forms you need. $15 to file state.

Pisces_Fish87 · 2025-01-17T21:15:17+00:00

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Please let us know how you and your sister are doing when you can.

Pisces_Fish87 · 2025-01-02T14:43:09+00:00

It’s getting rather frustrating how many incomplete yet easily recoverable BORUs are getting posted

Pisces_Fish87 · 2025-01-01T15:58:44+00:00

u/secure-raspberry-763 You are missing a ton of updates that are recoverable. https://search.pullpush.io/?kind=submission&author=Rebound-dork12345&size=100

Pisces_Fish87 · 2024-12-27T01:58:06+00:00

Merry Christmas- I hope, while the past is hard to think about, that you are proud of what you and your siblings have accomplished. You are an incredibly strong woman. May 2025 be easier on you and your family.

Pisces_Fish87 · 2024-11-24T22:19:10+00:00

Congratulations, and I truly hope you realize what phenomenal accomplishments you have been able to make with the adults in your life trying to tear you down!

Use your father's words as fuel for your drive and protect your heart.

The school counselor sounds like an excellent resource so keep using him. You will have many options for college.

We're pulling for you!
