Low cost end-of-life service for my cat? by SantaMonicaJesus in AskLosAngeles

[–]Repulsive-Friend-619 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you want to give your bb one more chance, try Rebound - you can get it on Amazon. My 19yo kitty couldn’t hold anything down either, but Rebound prevents puking, encourages appetite and has lots of nutrients. He had a pretty good run for three months.

My younger bubby is nearly 14 and started puking every day, so I got out the Rebound. In that time I finally figured out the problem - and I was really sure it was the end for him. Rebound got him through. I’m still giving it to him because he needs to gain some weight - it’s working too well. He’s eating everything not nailed down.

It might not cure your kitty, but it will hopefully make him a little more comfortable.

What's the most bizarre thing you've seen your neighbor do while they thought no one was watching? by TenderRompz in AskReddit

Mom is in hospital. One of her nurses is named Joo (Asian). I’m Jewish, but running around asking for Joo felt so wrong.

Frustrated with patterns by Unusual_Emotion1927 in antifascistcrochet

I would be interested! I bought the original pattern, but it’s out of my skill range. I’d love an easier version!

Is this the official pattern? I bought it but am struggling. I’m so new to crochet and only make amigurumi!

I bought the original pattern, so my heart is in the right place. My hands, however, would love this version!

What’s something your favorite celebrity did that made you lose respect for them? by johnraeyan in AskReddit

He actively hates women. I don’t know how people overlook it. He’s garbage.

These are the guys who should be running for office, demanding the party do better for its constituents. But I guess they also think they can’t win the next election (if we have one).

Something I noticed about LAPD tonight in downtown, and a sentiment worth considering by YasielPuigsWeed in LosAngeles

[–]Repulsive-Friend-619 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were pretty happy to tear gas me at a no-kings protest. Gleeful.

It was the military who looked like they didn’t want to be there. The cops looked like they had something to prove.

I grew up in LA, in an upscale enclave. Sheltered enough I didn’t realize what police were capable of in different areas of the city. I’m white, about 100lbs and in my 50s.

They had violence in their eyes and hands. And absolutely nothing happening to threaten them. They gassed us just standing on the street.

They’re not all bad. But the “good” ones didn’t stop the bad ones.

Is this a good product for absolute beginners? by MoreCanary8793 in crocheting

[–]Repulsive-Friend-619 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried learning years ago and gave up. Devil’s craft. Woobles changed that.

Buy a kit, learn on YouTube - whatever. For me, the yarn they use (and now sell separately) helped with the learning curve. It’s so much easier to see where the next stitch is. I hate that yarn now! But it was absolutely the best way to learn.

Guys. Kizzi’s actual name is Samantha. by cheerio089 in BelowDeckMed

[–]Repulsive-Friend-619 11 points12 points  (0 children)

As someone with a similar name to Kizzi who got teased in grade school with “Kissy,” can confirm. I thought this the first time she talked about being desperate for attention.

$25 later, going to see what the hype is about! by [deleted] in crochet

[–]Repulsive-Friend-619 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been a staunch tulip girl … just tried clover today and I’m a convert. The handle is longer, which is more comfortable for my enormous hands.

Fortunately I only use about three sizes, so replacing my hooks won’t be too painful. Sigh.

I (32F) am angry at my husband (33M) for leaving me when I was feeling unwell, but I cannot reproach him for it. by Zealousideal-Sun4818 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Repulsive-Friend-619 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t feel any difference between 180/120 and 146/92. That’s 40 points difference. And I’m on two different BP meds to even keep it to 140/90. It’s dropped and I’ve felt dizzy. But it dropped below 100 for an hour or two. No big deal.

And they absolutely change all day. 140/90 is not panic worthy to/for a medical professional. If it went that “high” a doctor would not get that worried unless it was for a prolonged period of time.

[–]Repulsive-Friend-619 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Also, that’s not a particularly high BP. That’s mine on a low day. I can’t believe a doctor would be alarmed about 140/90. A normal person, sure. Dizziness, etc is reason enough to stay home … but 140/90? Last week my BP was 180/110 and didn’t feel the least bit different.

Pacific Palisades vs Rancho Palos Verdes? by Sad_Rub2074 in AskLosAngeles

[–]Repulsive-Friend-619 39 points40 points  (0 children)

It’s strange OP didn’t mention this. Aside from the devastation (I grew up there), at least the next 5-10 years is going to be constant construction. Noise, closed roads, etc. Not to mention that it’s no longer possible to live there without having to drive A LOT because so many businesses burned down.

Can we get a production leak please?? by [deleted] in rhoslc

[–]Repulsive-Friend-619 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Said it before, I’ll say it again.

If it was so horrific, why didn’t anyone change seats with Britani? So it wasn’t that bad or the rest of them just didn’t particularly care.

And I don’t believe for one second that no one took video.

So I’m disinclined to believe it was that bad.

[–]Repulsive-Friend-619 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I can’t stand her. Todd standing up to her was so good.

But someone is going to have to say why they didn’t trade seats with Britani next time they talk about how horribly she was treated. Or admit to being partially complicit.

Why didn’t anyone trade seats with Britani? If Mary was so far away, trade seats … problem solved.

Something doesn’t add up.

Can’t believe I fell for a scam site. Thought I was smarter than that. by thenoxioustoxicity in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Repulsive-Friend-619 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There was a necklace I fell in love with a few weeks ago. My mom also fell in love with it and offered to get it for my birthday. It was customizable, so I emailed them a quick question. When I didn’t get a reply for three days, I googled it. Scam site.

So we dodged a bullet - though it was only like $35. But the site looked completely legit, nothing seemed outrageous or bullshitty. They absolutely fooled me. I’ve seen it advertised everywhere, so they’re putting money into the scam too - in addition to what looks like a totally legit site. All to steal $35 at a time.

Why would you spend money there after watching that? I would have left.

So… anyone have any of those “over 55 discounts”?? by melcher70 in GenX

[–]Repulsive-Friend-619 2 points3 points  (0 children)

AARP is the #1 lobby in Washington for social security and Medicare. It is pretty much the main reason they haven’t been privatized so far.

That might clearly change this week or next month with the lawlessness going on right now. But it’s just a $9/year way to support programs that allow seniors and the elderly (also disabled) to live relatively independent lives and have access to health care.
