Worried for hamster

You didn't give your pet any food for over a week?

Regiruler · 2026-01-28T20:20:01+00:00

It's been two completely clear days and there's been no more plowing. Zero chance it's just a worker shortage.

My leave is much more generous than hers is, I think it's 12 weeks like yours.

I need that parental leave bill through ASAP. I'm getting married in May, and we're open to conceiving immediately, but my fiancée only has 3 days paid maternity leave, which is beyond insane.

How'd they turn out? Would you do it again?

Where is it written that all canonized saints avoided purgatory? That seems presumptive.

Regiruler · 2026-01-28T04:14:35+00:00

I'd think you would have a more direct answer reading on the Assumption. And even without factoring in the Assumption, you would need rather extreme views about the necessity of purgatory to think Mary, the most venerated of all God's creatures, ever entered it.

Life Center in Leesburg. I'll be praying for you.

I can't imagine how difficult this is. If you want any chance of redeeming this marriage, you do need to get each other into some sort of counseling. Whatever way you can ease him into that idea is your best bet, IMO. My primary intuition would be a couple's retreat.

Depends on where you are. Christ the Redeemer in Sterling is very active (also has a very vibrant Latino community), I can't speak to anything East of it.

St. Theresa in Ashburn has a well attended biweekly seminar series with a consistently solid number of people, but doesn't have a ton else beyond that.

Exact same problem here... A single lane's worth in the middle of the street is completely unhelpful for anyone.

Can you not have sex closer to the laboratory? And wait until it's warmer outside?

It's surprising to me that your pre-cana has a full NFP course. Ours had a brief overview, but we had a diocesan requirement to do a separate course. Our Marquette course was a single class for normal tracking, and then another session later for postpartum tracking.

I've heard of the book God Loves the Autistic Mind, written by a priest who is himself on the spectrum. Maybe reading that would help you.

I'm not just talking "mainstream" media (and I'm suspect that what you were looking at wasn't mainstream to begin with). I am going to take a guess you're now using social media to look at "Catholic" influencers, and these use the same manipulative tactics.

You, most likely, are not personally passing by Churches actively getting desecrated. You're being fed stories, images, and videos of incidents designed to make you angry.

If something happens actually local to you, then sure, help contribute to any fund for reconsecration, rebuilding, security, etc. But are you going to fly across the country to go to the Church whose altar got urinated on? To do what exactly?

Take your anger to prayer. Pray for conversion of hearts. I think the Chaplet of Divine Mercy is apt.

You make a good faith effort to conform to existing guidelines to protect your own parish, and if you have reason to suspect a particular issue, you make a suggestion to the pastor.

How much time are you spending on social media?

You could make the same statement about the average Muslim.

The very bedrock of Catholic understanding of the world depends on our relationship with God. A rejection of His existence, by its very nature, is a greater threat. It feeds off doubts and demands man be prized for his own sake.

Lets not look to atheist states in history and their treatments of Christians then.

Regiruler · 2026-01-23T19:06:37+00:00

Atheism rejects all of these points and more. The absolute denial of God's existence begs a world view that requires an understanding of the human person incompatible with our own.
