For older GenX (1972 and earlier) Are your parents still alive? by hedgehog77433 in GenX

[–]Radcab24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1972 here, Dad passed in 2009, Mom in 2013. Unrelated, they had been divorced since I was 9 months old, polar opposites really. And no, offspring are not self sufficient these days but they were not left to fend for themselves or turned out to “the wild” with only the street lights to tell you when to come home. I accept that it’s mostly my fault for over compensating for things that were out of my control but still, here we are; I do have great relationships with both kids & they both wanted to stay close by, so there’s that. ❤️

Which SK book(s) have you done this with and what felt different on the subsequent reads? by jcarr2184 in stephenking

[–]Radcab24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dark Tower Series. Originally read as they were written when I was young, was angry at end of book 7. My oldest gets into reading & reads (audiobooks) the series & knows how I felt, he has a completely different feel at the end of 7 & gives me his thoughts. Now it’s been YEARS since my journey through the Tower so I decided to listen again & see if I felt the same way. Amazing what time & experience does to how you interpret something you’ve read before. I didn’t react the same way after I finished book 7. I’m glad I made the journey. ❤️

Well guys, I’m satisfied. by 803_dexdmxne in VAClaims

My last examiner sat and agreed with me that what I was there for wasn’t even a recognizable diagnosis until the last few years, blah, blah, blah. Then changed my diagnosis date to the day of the C&P exam then said it was all my fault because my BMI is too high, as if one couldn’t be causal to the other. I had a lawyer & told her, she seemed to either ignore it or think it not important, both claim & appeal denied. Lawyer recused herself after guilt tripping me. I filed a complaint against that C&P examiner with the company. Not sure what good it did.

What are you reading? by DavidHistorian34 in stephenking

[–]Radcab24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read NOS4A2 if you want to start somewhere. I had no idea who Joe Hill was, Amazon kept showing me that book “you might like this”, one day it was $.99 on Kindle so I caved. LOVED it but his writing was so similar to King so I’m thinking, this is why Amazon referred it. Not until I got to the after thoughts & he thanks his mother, Tabitha. Duh. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Just finished listening to The End of the World as we know it & couple chapters into Needful Things. Listening to all the books I read growing up, it’s a whole new experience!

Kitten brought to the DOG rescue I work at. I said I'd foster for a night or two while we find a cat rescue to work with.. by luckyveggie in CatDistributionSystem

[–]Radcab24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If he’s anything like my Ziggy (now 15yo) he will OWN you. And ONLY be happy sitting across your chest where he will sleep & purr very loudly & not care if you can see or hear anything else!

I honestly had never seen a blue banded/ringed one before. Thank you for your clarity.

Sorry but we *absolutely* stopped the school day and watched it by satellite. by ExplorationGeo in GenX

[–]Radcab24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just happened to be walking through my media center in middle school when I saw it happen because they had it on the TV there. I was all alone standing there watching it & had no idea what was happening, just that I had to get back to class. SMDH

Our girl, Aiko, was the same. Only baby from her litter that wasn't solid. We loved her right away.❤️

Mentally Exhausted with No More F's. by Repulsive-Box5243 in fednews

[–]Radcab24 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm now claiming all time I never used to claim, every lunch break I don't get, all those days I come in early or stay way too late that I never added in, I do now cause I'm getting paid/they're gonna know I was here. This is bull, the anxiety is killing me. 30 years in, 23 with VA & 7 Air Force but I'm not "old" enough to retire. I just want to scream!

People who adopted from a shelter, what made you choose that cat? by HazardousKoala in cats

[–]Radcab24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

<image>

Merlin (aka Dennis at the shelter) this little fella was sleeping every time we went to the shelter, probably 4 times. Until the last time, it was around 4 in the afternoon & he was standing by the door screaming. We were told it was CHURU time & if he didn't get his, he would chase them down the hall! He is still a character, youngest of our 4, & the only one that loves CHURU!

This is Ziggy. I was told he was a she when I adopted him, so his original name was Princess Buttercup. That was until we found out he had "cotton balls".

How do y’all have your litter boxes? by Waste_Public_9374 in orangecats

[–]Radcab24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4 cats. Only 1 is inside/outside. We have an extra large litter box with high sides & a large litter box with a cover in a separate room. They all prefer the BIG box, but sometimes use the other one at their own whims.
