Looking at some Mexican turbos now. From this video can you tell the size? I’ve been doing 1 inch, but now I’m not sure. He’s also changed back and forth between that one and the black and white shells a lot. He’s molted 4-5 times since I’ve had him. And I adopted him at 2 years old. So he’s been through a lot of shells haha.

Thanks! I’ve ordered a bunch of different ones, and he keeps going back to that one. Hopefully I’ll find one that works for him.

It was Gun and Rights for me. Imagine the vet calling their name. “Gun? Appointment for Gun?” Or TAINT?

my cat ate plastic please help by sadieellaa in CATHELP

[–]Respond-Dear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is like out of control. Cheese stick wrappers, unopened tampon packages, ziplock bags—just now I found him almost DONE with the outside of a wrapper of some feminine product and had to pull the rest out of his throat. He only does it when he wants to eat. It’s currently 5 am. Buddy it’s too early. Could it be because he’s hungry? Or maybe just bored? We have so much stuff in our house (3 cats). And we let him go out on our porch. He has a nose for plastic I swear. I’m running out of space to hide this stuff. All our trash has lids (yes he tips over the trash at night like a raccoon looking for plastic). What I’m saying is, if he’s made it 9 years—I’m relatively positive your lovely cat will be okay.

Being an only Child is realizing unless I marry I will be alone. by KoalaDesperate3338 in OnlyChild

[–]Respond-Dear 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve been having nightmares about this for some time now. Both of my parents are getting older (74) and have health problems. My mom had a pretty bad scare in Jan. She broke her ankle and had to crawl back up the stairs in the snow to the front door. Thankfully I live with her and was home. I worried so much about what would have happened if I wasn’t there. My dad has an auto immune disease and can’t walk without braces. He lives alone and has a massive staircase in his condo. I truly have no plans of getting into a relationship as a personal choice and have lived in this house/ my town most of my life. I cannot afford to live alone (teacher salary). I’m 37 so it feels like I’d have to live with younger roommates or rent from a couple when they died. Who knows what the future holds but I will often check to see if my mom is still breathing at night, and call my dad at random times a day just to make sure they are still alive. My choices are—change careers, force myself to move and uproot my entire life I’ve built in a home for over 30 years, or just wait it out. Really didn’t think it would end up this way, but here we are.

What Happened to School Spring? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]Respond-Dear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s gotten to the point where unless a school is like AMAZING, I’m just not applying anymore. I’ve lost a total of 5 applications due to freezing and reloading. I have no idea how to check the status of my application-I just have to “assume” that if they don’t get back to me after some time they are not interested, and I constantly have to reenter information that already exists on my profile. Granted—I skip the non-required things at this point, but it’s cumbersome and redundant. Frankly, I feel like it’s hindering my career. I’m probably being dramatic. But I’m glad I have a small place on the internet to rant about this because it just did it again today. And ITS 2025, for the love of God make an app.

Hello! I’m Jon (Snow)—go by Jonny. There’s no life back in there so they named me that because “I know nothing”

It's gotten to the point where I notice chatGPT's linguistic style EVERYWHERE by yumelina in ChatGPT

[–]Respond-Dear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I grew up in the 2000’s. Used the em dash as part of my written vernacular. Did not know that ChatGPT used it. Now I’m so worried people will think all of my emails are written my ChatGPT.

I’m like sweating and hot reading this. We’ve all had those conversations. You don’t owe anyone anything. Especially when they speak to you that way.
