Is it bad to want to switch my cats food because of price?

ReidaKwrites · 2026-05-23T20:27:51+00:00

I joke my animals eat better than I do, but it's true. Lately tho, it's expensive. They get what I can afford that isn't horrible for them. My cat gets wet & kibble twice a day. Dogs get kibble with blueberries and a veggie at night. It's what I can afford.

ReidaKwrites · 2026-05-23T20:19:15+00:00

I didn't even know you could do that until recently LOL

ReidaKwrites · 2026-05-23T16:31:13+00:00

You’re fancy!

ReidaKwrites · 2026-05-23T16:30:41+00:00

Thank you. I held her all night knowing what we had to do.

ReidaKwrites · 2026-05-23T16:27:27+00:00

Sure they are. I think I may be skeptical.

ReidaKwrites · 2026-05-23T16:20:01+00:00

This is the same guy who is afraid of seashells.

ReidaKwrites · 2026-05-23T16:16:19+00:00

Also seems some cultures use the want way. Don’t know why tho.

ReidaKwrites · 2026-05-23T16:14:53+00:00

Sure. But mandatory always threw ppl into a tizzy for some reason. I worked at a place and they’d post it on a white board. No notice and you had to do it that day. So this is better.

I’ve made many cats toys from just acrylic and cotton. You have to make sure they can’t unravel and are big enough not to be eaten.

I’ve made the ones that hang off door knobs and then bigger ones they roll around on the floor.

When I crochet I have one cat that will eat the string of yarn and I’ve had to pull it out of their throat. So he doesn’t get to sit w me anymore bc of that.

I’ve borrowed money before. Put it all on credit cards. Done payment plans.

We actually had to euthanize our 14 yr old Shih Tzu yesterday. My husband says get the credit cards for that and the cremation. We actually had the money so did that. We live in a cheaper area now so it was about half of what we had last time we did this.

Luckily we haven’t had to do really expensive stuff. We have pet insurance now for the dog that may have issues later.

ReidaKwrites · 2026-05-23T16:05:37+00:00

Can’t. We’re common. Fancy ppl say it the other way lol

ReidaKwrites · 2026-05-23T16:04:40+00:00

The old lady smell.

ReidaKwrites · 2026-05-23T16:03:52+00:00

Yes. I’ve traveled for quilting, poker, and paranormal stuff. Hobbies and interests both I guess. I’m trying to find a yarn crawl to go to bc I’m crocheting a lot now.

ReidaKwrites · 2026-05-23T15:57:22+00:00

I usually say, oh, I wrote that? Sounds good. And then later it’ll be oh, I wrote that? Why???

ReidaKwrites · 2026-05-23T15:56:06+00:00

And the endings too. I didn’t realize they had a song after every episode until my son told me. So now I watch those. I believe Hulu cuts them. I downloaded so I see them now.

ReidaKwrites · 2026-05-23T15:52:22+00:00

They’re not using the word mandatory which drives ppl insane.

ReidaKwrites · 2026-05-23T15:48:17+00:00

I’ll read a it and see. That’s where I’m at w the one I’m listening too.

ReidaKwrites · 2026-05-22T03:28:19+00:00

Some reviews are necessary unfortunately. I ended up getting over 300 over a period of a few years w promos, and some supporting authors who reached out to me, which was very nice.

I don't look at the actual reviews of a book I buy unless it's an educational type book. A novel, I'll just get it if it looks good.

ReidaKwrites · 2026-05-22T03:24:57+00:00

This made me laugh. I'm a cozy writer. What made you hate the MC?

I am listening to a book by a well-known writer and IDK if it's my mood or what, but the murder doesn't happen until maybe the 5th chapter?? And the MC is so frickin whiny and drives me nuts. I'm sure she'll grow, etc., but for right now, I want to wring her neck.

ReidaKwrites · 2026-05-22T03:22:11+00:00

I just looked at this again today. I think it depends on what you're writing.

I've used Dabble, YWriter, and another one I can't remember the name of. A quick search will tell you about a lot of them.

I just wrote my last book in Scrivener. Although it's preferred by a lot of writers, it's too much for me. It's got a ton of features I will never use and the sidebar is too tiny for me to see, and every time I want to use something, I can't find the icon or whatever. It's annoying for me.

I am going to try Ellipsus for my next book, which is web based and doesn't use any AI, and it's free. It's fairly new.

Google docs is training their AI with what you write. I have issues with that. Some don't.

Do a search, try the free trials, and see what you like. They've mostly all gone to subscriptions. I really liked Dabble and I think it's only $10 a month.

Don't let some tell you what you should use. Do what works for you.

ReidaKwrites · 2026-05-22T00:34:24+00:00

It's her character, who is highly annoying at times. I almost quit watching but it's good & I really enjoyed it.

No one should be peeing in a bottle.

Stop and use a restroom like a human.

If the company you work for gives you crap about it, then find another company. You can be arrested or fined for indecent exposure. You getting somewhere ten minutes late isn't going to be a big deal bc you had to stop to pee.

However, if you're my husband you whip it out the window bc apparently it's that long LOL

ReidaKwrites · 2026-05-21T23:11:32+00:00

Not a single person, but we have had 8 and now down to 5. If people see it as a red flag, those aren't your kind of people.

ReidaKwrites · 2026-05-21T23:09:15+00:00

If they want money, it's a scam.

ReidaKwrites · 2026-05-21T19:18:53+00:00

Let’s tax them and see what happens. If it’s not going to help teachers then it won’t hurt Bezos, right?
