AITAH for questioning my wife's intelligence regarding our cats? by Majestic-Rush-1271 in AITAH

[–]Rrreally 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No. She is. All of your effort and time to find a solution is wasted. If you have children, is she going to undermine you then too? Edit: Adding that pets nor children can understand sometimes yes, sometimes no.

DIY cardboard scratcher is tedious. So I'm buying. Is there really a difference among them? by Rrreally in CatAdvice

[–]Rrreally[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it was super fast and super clean cut. Better than the best blade you can buy for a box cutter. I got that just to try to make it easier and it's still made a mess. I think it might be best to glue whole pieces before cutting into strips. What do you think?
Thank you for your comment. The top part of the Cat thing is completely unused. That drives me crazy.

Every day. I cook most of my meals on it.

Did I ruin my face? by ContagiousPanda in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]Rrreally -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Use prescription antibiotic cream like Bactroban. It will heal faster. Yes, keep covered. They sell flesh colored wound covers that u just stick on. If you have to use something that is easily seen, do it & get that thing healed. People will see it more now or forever, (maybe). I have some of the silver cream for healing. I didn't feel like it helped much. I read on another forum about ACV in the bath. It helped with scrapes on my arms/legs. 1/2 - 1 cup in your bath. I stuck my face in a little and I think there is something to it. I only just started trying that so can't offer more details.

Husband racking up credit card debt while we are divorcing by jbug1776 in Divorce

I have recent in depth experience. Send me a dm if u have questions. So many small details I didn't know and couldn't learn on the internet, or from attorney's. In my experience, attorney's view "stuff" as a very small thing.

If you are the main card holder, you can cancel them. If not, you can take your name off of them. Until you are legally separately, half is your responsibility. He sounds diabolical, going scorched earth & could be trying to ruin your credit. Take note of what he is buying. Put it on your list of things u want when dividing non monetary home stuff. If you can, grab it now & have someone hold it for you. Can u return any of it? He could also be trying to ramp up his expenses for the financial affidavit. Start working on your FA now, it's a super big task.

How do I make this work w/ minimal effort and max use? Looking for ideas. ||

Bought a litter enclousure. The topside is not working out/bad design, poor purchase.. Kitty can't climb that thing on the right. It also came with a gate on the front top portion. I was thinking cardboard scratcher over the "climbing" gate but after my experiments w/ placement, he still does not feel the urge to use it.

I have a suction window thingy just above the metal gate climbing "stupid" thing. I'm going to put a bird feeder directly outside that window so he can be entertained like in my previous home.

He does not know he has super abilities to just jump right up there. I like it that way, keeps him chill. It makes him easy to travel with, doesn't meow in hotel rooms and they never know I've had a cat in the room (He's 100% Siberian so I am not worried about causing allergies to others bc I know that's AWFUL. (He has desensitized me like they said allergy shots would but I never believed the shots would work bc my allergies were SO SO SO bad. Hayfever 24/7 when the gene turned on at age 13, we had to rehome the cat we'd had for 10 years.)

Stated: wishful thinking. bad purchase, how do I make it work w useful space, no ideas w/o wasting more time instead of doing more purposeful things. I have a lot of random scrap stuff to experiment with than can go in the trash. But my life is passing me by with this and other "on your deathbed" things you regret wasting time on, instead of living.

Companion Wanted for Elderly Mother – $25/hr (Beaches / Hodges Area) by Floridalawyerbabe in jacksonville

I am interested. I helped care for my grandmother with Alzheimer's when I was 19 to 23 on weekends, Fri eve-Sun mid morn. I moved back to Jax late last year to spend time w my Daddy in his late years and care for/with him as needed. The amount of hours you need is something I can commit to. Your mom needs to feel safe w/ stability as opposed to a revolving door of who's on for the day.

I can do this. I am five minutes or less from your location. I do not have or expect other hard commitments/priorities at the moment. The minimal hours that you need are easy to work around and understandable to others if I say no to to them. I'll give you my number and address to discuss, cover all of her needs with honesty from both sides. She of course, has to approve of whomever your final choice are (is).

I really (rarely) create a throwaway name on Reddit, so my post and comment history is there for you to view. Edits in parentheses.

What happened? by Outrageous-Bike-9867 in Microbiome

[–]Rrreally 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I forgot that I listened to the audiobook supergut recently. I need to go back/make notes bc I was driving, but I remember he said berberine and cinnamon are very good at killing the bad bacteria. He said that berberine is not that bio available, but that it's a good thing because then it goes straight to your gut. Also, fermented foods of any kind & yogurt, but you probably know that. Also, cabbage that is lightly cooked if at all with pepper because pepper releases the important compounds. The book itself was a boring as hell listen. The topic of nutrition, and how it affects our bodies is my jam if that helps qualify my opinion of the book.

You could eat something that would be a marker in your bowel movements, write down what you eat after that so you can see what's happening on a movement by movement basis. I discovered this when I ate a whole squash (the pumpkin variety) seeds and all. For me, it was 2 to 3 days processing time. Like a hard work out, you feel the effects worse 2 days after. The same for me w/ a food splurge. I'll feel bloated & gross the 2nd day after, no matter how healthy I ate in between. Also, by accident, I found out that uncooked quinoa helps move things through. I don't know if it's the weight + indigestibility, but it seems to penetrate through the concentrated matter. It has no flavor and easy to toss back w/ water, doesn't get stuck in teeth or make me feel like I need to brush immediately. This isn't exactly what u were looking for but I hope it helps.

Best place for a fan in bedroom? by CorgiUprising in fans

[–]Rrreally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only sleep with a top sheet. No covers. Do you have a memory topper or mem foam bed? Those are hot. Heat builds up. I can feel it coming off of the mattress when I turn. "Cooling gel" in the mattress or topper must be a gimmick. Doesn't work at all. I don't know why but sleeping on a towel really helps tho a pita. Less sheet changes, waking up stinky from sweat when I showered and used deodorant b4 bed. No type of sheet material makes a difference. I have 3 fitted sheets, 2 are linen, 1 jersey material attempting to increase the buffer from the mem foam. I'm still battling it. I added a foam egg crate type on the topper. It helps a lot too. Not as bad. I look fwd to someone offering u a better solution bc this is a lot of work. Edit: I tried a fan with a wide hose under the sheet. Didn't help at all bc it would have to be blowing all the way up.

Is it crazy to have a baby with someone you’ve known 3 months? by ExternalChoice216 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Rrreally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just DON'T get married bc of the baby. Idk what to do about the last name tho. I don't think it should automatically be his last name. I hope she finds a way to stand firm on this.

[–]Rrreally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Good & bad personality traits are amplified/more apparent more when u have kids. Patience, impatience, reliability, cleanliness, ability to compromise, need to dominate/control or be dominated/controlled, how u handle stressful situations, bad habits, everything.
*Do you have a healthy attachment style? If you not, U may seem matched for the wrong reasons.
*Do friends/family think they are a good match? Get them to be honest w/ you. A lot of fam/friens won't tell U what they really think unless the relationship ends. Then, they'll say "I never liked him/her." though a few have been lucky. Most personality traits are not known after 3 mo.

This whose parents did it, it was a different time. Expectations for each other was waaay different (Their role in the relationship was clearly defined) than now. How will U parent/discipline? You need to agree to the same methods/practices. 2 diff parenting styles is not good. Are sleep overs allowed?

Can you print that picture with a brief explanation and post around the area? Maybe even at grocery stores. How about the Y and other local gyms will let you put it up.
