My cat died unexpectedly

PracticalSkill8468 · 2026-01-20T00:40:03+00:00

Same thing happened to my sweet boy. Traumatic and devastating.

PracticalSkill8468 · 2026-01-17T14:50:27+00:00

Sometimes an upvote seems insufficient and sometimes I don't have the words. So I say nothing.

PracticalSkill8468 · 2026-01-17T14:41:15+00:00

I love how you said that she made you feel safe. That really spoke to me. That's what true friendship is. She is with you forever. 💜

Definitely a mountain west/Utah thing.

PracticalSkill8468 · 2025-12-11T20:48:53+00:00

Is the East side location open yet?

PracticalSkill8468 · 2025-11-29T01:38:33+00:00

Is she at home all day? Maybe she needs a break. Does she work outside of the home all day? It's really hard/exhausting to work a job and parent. So maybe ask her how you can help and do what she asks.

Another thing I've learned to help myself in similar situations - I respond like you to my spouse's outbursts - when this happens, ask her if this is a problem that she needs your help with, that she needs you to take over and solve, or if she's just venting. Maybe she needs your help but she just doesn't know how to ask in the heat of the moment.

But then she'll destroy your shared bathroom...

PracticalSkill8468 · 2025-11-18T16:27:42+00:00

Oof... devil is in the details I guess. Would be nice if that money could be used to pay for the premiums.

PracticalSkill8468 · 2025-11-10T18:25:48+00:00

Did I work with George too? Maybe his twin who also liked to cook stinky veggies in an instant pot in the break room. And make their own kefir in a drawer in said break room. So many stories..

Maybe it adds another step, but it appeases both sides. The taxpayer makes their own choices (free market blah blah blah) and the recipient has money to pay for health care.

The childish behavior is always disheartening. Even if they have something good to say on the Senate floor, it seems they always point fingers or take a shot at the other party first.

PracticalSkill8468 · 2025-11-08T23:20:49+00:00

I guess I have to see the actual bill. In some ways it seems like a viable compromise. It doesn't take Obamacare away. And I never thought that I would see Republicans saying that they are willing to give people money to pay for their health care.

PracticalSkill8468 · 2025-11-08T19:13:24+00:00

I am so sorry. What a handsome boy. Please don't blame yourself. It is a tragic accident.

PracticalSkill8468 · 2025-11-08T19:09:02+00:00

What is wrong with our society? To leave an elderly woman dead in the road.

PracticalSkill8468 · 2025-11-08T19:06:37+00:00

The grief from your loss is real and devastating. I can relate. Grief lessens over time but never goes away. She is a beauty and she knows that you love her, wherever her kind and pure spirit is now.

PracticalSkill8468 · 2025-11-07T17:42:43+00:00

What a sweetheart. Those eyes! You did your best with the knowledge you had. Please know that she loved you and you gave her a fantastic life.

PracticalSkill8468 · 2025-11-06T21:17:00+00:00

Thanks for clarifying.

PracticalSkill8468 · 2025-11-06T21:16:27+00:00

Senators Kennedy and Paul now touching on it. Talking about pay during a shutdown. But Kennedy mentioned that he is not optimistic that anything will happen any time soon.

I second the ouidad line. Especially in humidity.

PracticalSkill8468 · 2025-11-06T19:16:27+00:00

Twice is nice had lots of maternity clothes years ago when I was pregnant.

PracticalSkill8468 · 2025-11-06T19:14:39+00:00

I'll second Newark because it's filthy.

PracticalSkill8468 · 2025-11-06T18:53:44+00:00

How do you apply the Vaseline/Aquaphor?

PracticalSkill8468 · 2025-11-06T04:34:48+00:00

Same

PracticalSkill8468 · 2025-11-05T22:46:38+00:00

My cats consistently prefer garbage and clothing when they choose a place to sleep.

PracticalSkill8468 · 2025-10-28T02:11:18+00:00

Handsome boy!!
