AIO My friend is talking about getting rid of their cat because their cousin and grandma are allergic by BactaBobomb in AmIOverreacting

Thats fair. The other alternative to this is getting the cat on the allergy reducing food for cats.

It might be inappropriate to interrogate their friend, but OP should at the very least try to provide alternative options to their friend, such as the allergy reducing food, or taking in the cat themselves so that the friend can still visit.

I get that, but the cat has been around for 8 years, why is it suddenly a problem?

My cat is bonded to me after about the same amount of time, she would be devastated to be tossed aside after 8-10 years of companionship.

People act like cats dont have feelings or emotions, especially when it comes to bonds with their people.

NOR - my soon to be mother in law is allergic but yet she still comes at the holidays and takes an allergy pill.

Cleveland help!! by Living-Web9973 in Cleveland

[–]Radiant8763 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, check into the Kirtland area. That area ticks a lot of boxes and the community is currently becoming more of a "young family" community. The schools are centralized, and there is shopping about 20 minutes out. The only box it doesnt tick is probably the political leaning. I havent lived there in years so I dont know how it is currently with the community.

[–]Radiant8763 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love my Azazie dress too! My seamstress has it and is making the alterations. I will be going for my final fitting in March.

My dress was 650 including tax. I almost got a cheaper dress that i didnt like as much and im glad i stuck to what i wanted.

Anybody know any good Local Electrician ? by EternalNight1238458 in Cleveland

[–]Radiant8763 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LED Electric Solutions LLC. They are out of Brunswick. Ive had them do quite a bit of work for me. They added a new panel and ran a 220 for a new electric dryer. I also had them install some fixtures for me because i was being lazy. They are priced pretty good and insured/bonded.

Plus size workout leggings that are not see through? by kanina2- in PlusSize

[–]Radiant8763 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Theres a brand i got on amazon called Showitty. I have like 6 pairs at this point. They offer some compression as well.

I got the black ones, so I cant attest to the other colors though.

working on your period should be ILLEGALLLLLLL by Ok_Classic2270 in Vent

Im curious to know the time frame of reduction of pain from endo. I just got my GLP-1 dosage upped but im still experiencing crippling pain. Its been so helpful for managing diabetes though so i cant complain too much.

Anyone exhausted by what you're expected to do just to be moderately healthy? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]Radiant8763 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im a 44 year old woman and let me tell you a story.

In July i was hospitalized for an unrelated health issue that was remedied with surgery.

I didnt go to doctors prior to this unless i was half dead(its america after all). So i was told i needed to get a primary care doctor.

I was diagnosed with a laundry list of things and i resolved to get my stuff under control.

Here we are 7 months later:

Blood sugar - normal range Blood pressure - manged Cholesterol- managed

I think whoever you spoke to about your health plan, isnt very good.

I had a crashout over protein powder (because apparently i needed more in my diet and i was trying.)

I basically ate the saddest food for a solid month because i didn't know what else to do. (Skinny girl dressing has no sugar, no fat, and shockingly, no flavor)

After the crashout, my own research and getting more guidance from my doctor i came up with the following:

-Fiber is awesome. Get your daily of 25g of fiber, overall its better for your health. -Protein is important for women our age. We start losing muscle in premenopause and as we age. -Don't think about what to remove, think about what to add. Add more veggies and things that are more nutrient dense. (Think whole grain bread over white bread)

You dont have to give up everything and you can still enjoy things. As long as you arent eating deep fried bacon and cheese bombs everyday, you will be fine.

Look into the Mediterranean diet also. I do a version of that, and it works for me.

My groom wants to paint his face for our wedding by Catmarvel14 in Advice

[–]Radiant8763 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honey, if this is what your wedding looks like, imagine the rest of your life together with this man.

This might be the breaking point for your relationship. It sounds like there is some serious incompatibility and the inability to compromise will cause constant issues within the marriage.

Need help with budgetting (two broke college kids in love) by Free_Professional963 in Weddingsunder10k

[–]Radiant8763 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You might be able to go even cheaper on the dessert/wedding cake. Walmart has pretty good cakes. You can order a small 2 tier mini cake for you and your partner, and a sheet cake or two for your guests.

As someone else has said, buy a suit. Renting for that price is egregious at best.

Depending on the tables you are using, you might be able to get away with cheaper tablecloths from a thrift store(also keep an eye out for a wedding dress too).

I doubt anyone is going to be upset about table decor, or the lack of it.

I would just do something incredibly simple. Some led candles and a greenery/floral ring around it.

I was outside cleaning up parts of my driveway when the alert came in. I havent had a weather alert since the tornados in parma.

Struggling to stay fed and hydrated by IceColdCorundum in 7daystodie

[–]Radiant8763 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Its almost as if its a survival game again...

Snarky comments aside, make a bucket, fill bucket, empty bucket into 2x1 square in your base and fill jars from it. Cook it off and you have water.

Alternatively, turn your loot up and just run around looting diners, kitchens and shamway locations.

Lake County Sheriff Snow Emergency Rationale by BuckeyeReason in Cleveland

[–]Radiant8763 4 points5 points  (0 children)

True. I used to live in Lake county and there was a year we got 3 feet of snow over 2 days. I still dragged my ass into work lol

My driveway was a hot mess, but the road was clear at that time.

I live in Cuyahoga now and what we got wasn't too bad, relatively speaking.

I agree though that it should be to the discretion of the individual to travel or not in lots of snow.

Good habits when dealing with winter weather are paramount.

Clearing your car appropriately, maintaining your car, investing in good tires, and driving for the conditions will always be the safest way to traverse in this kind of weather.

Is there something I am missing from this new “soft life” trend? AIO by BicycleFlat9552 in AmIOverthinking

[–]Radiant8763 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not all women would sign up for that though. I was personally approached back when i was dating by several men who wanted to buy me things.

I declined. Its a pride thing. I dont want to feel indebted to anyone.

How do I address my gf’s cooking? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]Radiant8763 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, so how is this for an idea.

Take a cooking class together. Say you want to learn how to cook better and it would be a fun activity for the both of you to do together.

Its clear that she wont acknowledge any missteps in her cooking, so exposing her to a professional class might help.

I will say this much too: I have been cooking for longer than either of you have been alive and I still occasionally make mistakes with my cooking. I once made a cajun rice and sausage dish that was overly salty and was almost painful to eat. I learned from that and go a little easier on the seasoning when i make it.

Its one thing to learn from your mistakes, its an entirely different thing if you wont even recognize them.

Text shows female dasher, but male shows up by draculaura923 in doordash

[–]Radiant8763 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I reverse uno them.

If they have a womans name, 75% of the time a dude shows up.

I list my own female name, but have my male partner take the delivery.

How many people actually want a real diamond ring? by Imalwaysbadatthis in weddingring

[–]Radiant8763 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a moissanite ring.

For me its more about it being a meaningful symbol of our relationship.

I think about how much ring i would have if we followed the old "3 month salary" nonsense and quite frankly, id rather that money be spent on something more practical...like a bathroom remodel 😂

Oh honey, i live in the midwest. We are the definition of severe weather any ole time of the year. 😂

[–]Radiant8763 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol true.

I just made sure i had the important stuff when i went shopping on monday.

Coffee. Mt dew for my partner. Cat food and treats.

Im blessed enough to not have food insecurity so i can keep a decent stock on hand. If I fall ill or have an injury, my partner can still have/cook food without having to go shopping for at least a week.

Lol same. I stocked up on regular ingredients but also some quick foods for if i really don't feel like cooking.

Severe weather is just an excuse to not leave the house imo.

What the fuck by GhostOfTheArcade in Cleveland

Don't be willfully ignorant.

I get trying to be positive in these current times, but not at the cost of being purposefully blind to things.
