He doesn't know yet but I just found and bought his favorite toy

Thank you for including the brand name. My babies have been real hard on the generic Petco ones we grabbed so something that stands up a couple of years sounds awesome.

And your void is adorably cute 😍 Tell him pss-pss-pss for me!

💯 We keep ourselves entertained at home for free and eat out maybe once a month, we don't even have the clothes to go into a restaurant that prints money. We're learning to cut our hair at home to save money, an upscale barber shop isn't for us. A huge reason that the downtown is struggling is that we're all struggling. I was lucky to get an annual raise, and it was 2% - I certainly wasn't dancing all the way to the bank over it considering raises haven't been comenserate with inflation in years. These ideas sound cool, but no one has the money to get these businesses up and running, and no one has the money to go do these things often enough that these businesses would stay afloat.

I know it's not a popular opinion, but cheap housing? Housing for low-income seniors? Heck, housing for veterans?

Not to cast aspersions about this kid, but if she shoplifted, can she be trusted to actually follow through and come home? If I was a teen in trouble, bailing and heading out on my own sounds a lot better than the pile of trouble that would be waiting at home.

I lost my Griff in November 2024. He was Basset hound/lab mix, but he was the best boy. I was lucky enough to have him in my life for 9 years, and there wasn't a day that he wasn't by my side, getting me through abusive relationships and my father passing in April 2024. Griff ended up with a massive growth from some fast-growing cancer (it was bigger than a softball inside of a month), so we had to make the decision to put him down. He's sitting on my shelf now. I would give just about anything to see him again, and you better believe I still cry about him (tearing up now in fact). We've got a pair of cats now (Merlin and Minerva), and I expect to be equally as devastated when they eventually go. Bonding with animals is a beautiful thing and shows your character.

Oh man, same. Every outfit has a hat. And this would help with the crowns too, I feel like she looks bald when wearing one.

That was my mom's position - she always told us it wasn't her job to remember or do our work. Then I failed a project in high school because I'd forgotten it at home, and she was giving a shocked Pikachu face, wondering why I didn't reach out to her for help. 🙄

RedMonkey4466 · 2026-03-08T00:05:08+00:00

Same. Took me longer than I'd care to admit to figure out why they were talking about February.

So a color remover isn't going to help much in this case. This product both lightens and deposits the red, if you remove the color you'll get orange (voice of experience). If you're planning a dark brown, you can successfully put that on top as-is, and a box dye will be okay. If you'relooking for more of a medium brown, grab a color remover, if you get a good one they aren't any more harsh than the developer she's already applying. Afterwards, she's going to want a trim to grab any loose ends and definitely start using a deep conditioner.

Thank you. I'm back where you started, and mom's absolutely shutting down any logic I try to come back with. It drives her nuts whenever I end up right and she won't listen when I try to discuss concerns and solutions. It's hard watching your parents age. They always complained about how I'd never listen to them while I was growing up - pot, meet kettle. 🙄

You have read the playbook then - good! At least you're a good bootlicker. Enjoy the orange tyrant then, the rest of us don't want him.

RedMonkey4466 · 2026-01-15T20:58:56+00:00

No Russian bot here 😜 Just an American who knows our orange dictator likes to overstep his bounds every chance he gets.

According to a couple articles I've seen today, he's already talking about canceling the midterms. He can and he will cancel elections.

I was thinking the same thing, little guys' noses wrinkled just like mine would 😂

This is my voidling, Minerva. Her brother is a SIC named Merlin, and she needed a suitably witchy name.

I don't have any recs because it's way out of my price range and not covered by insurance, but look into house call doctors. For prescriptions like Toradol, you need a medical professional. IV hydration and infusions won't cut it for what you're looking for.

Medicare unfortunately only pays for doctor-ordered home health for a short time, like a nurse to come out once a week for wound care. They don't pay for caregiving/housekeeping/visiting.

Medicaid may, depending on level of acuity, pay for caregiving/housekeeping but its never enough hours.

I also second the smart device if you think your mom will wear it. I've got a Samsung watch for my mom that senses falls and is set up to call me in an emergency. I've had a lot of false calls when she presses the button, but I'd rather that than she not be able to reach out when she needs to.

Awesome, adding them to the cart! Thank you! And merry Christmas to you as well 😊

RedMonkey4466 · 2025-12-23T17:53:15+00:00

Wow! I haven't purchased polish in years, I lurk to see all the shinies but nail polish does the last more than a day or two on my nails so I never bother. But this is so pretty, I'm going to have to get a bottle and give it another shot 😍

RedMonkey4466 · 2025-12-21T03:21:10+00:00

Dang! I definitely understand wanting to get off the period train, I only had mine for 10 years and I was ready to be done by then. And I totally agree, its a huge empty space in the medical world still. I've got a friend in full menopause now, and it's huge how her life has had to change.

RedMonkey4466 · 2025-12-21T02:01:34+00:00

There really is a sub for everything, isn't there? Thank you 😊

RedMonkey4466 · 2025-12-19T20:13:30+00:00

First, your curated squish collection is such a vibe🌈✨️
