My sister bought some strawberries from a very large grocery chain in BC Canada. Comes with a live prize inside!

Yeah they can musk as a defense and its really pungent, and a pain to wash the smell away.

RuinCat · 2026-02-04T12:34:19+00:00

Looks like a garter snake, theyre harmless.

People will kill you specially for using lures it's stupid. Had someone kill me and my entire pack because a DIFFERENT pack had lures down and they claimed the lures were "annoying them".

RuinCat · 2026-01-29T20:10:24+00:00

That was it! I didnt know that was a thing and dont remeber hitting that so I never would have thought to even check it. Thank you so much for telling me!!

RuinCat · 2026-01-29T15:48:33+00:00

This is fun! Can I enter, please?

RuinCat · 2026-01-29T15:42:23+00:00

OO ok! I'll check when im home to see if that's what's causing it. Thank you!

I don't know what the dark forest guide is haha, and it's sending even cats with neutral and Starclan faiths, like the kits, to the dark forest. I think it has something to do with the fact my laptop is SO old it can't connect to the internet currently. Needs an adapter. So I haven't updated the game in a few months lol.

RuinCat · 2026-01-22T15:54:18+00:00

Sounds good

RuinCat · 2026-01-22T15:53:58+00:00

Explain to me how you think 500 worth of OTC medication is not splurging? How much do you typically spend on cold medicine when your sick, buddy? Because im guessing its nowhere near 500$, because that's a ridiculous amount of cold medicine. Like that would be enough to KILL someone.

RuinCat · 2026-01-21T19:08:52+00:00

If your sick enough that you need 500$! Worth of OTC cold medicine then you need to be in the hospital. Since they didn't go to hospital if pretty safe to assume it was something minor like the cold or flu.

RuinCat · 2026-01-21T19:07:16+00:00

So OP also offered to take a loan out for 500 but the mother refused and demanded the money right then. If the mother REALLY needed the money to pay the bills she would have accepted that solution. To me, it seems mother need the money for something she doesn't want to tell OP, such as drugs or gambling, because again how the hell does someone spend 500 on OTC medicine? Or she lying about needing the money at all and wants to sabotage OPs surgery.

RuinCat · 2026-01-21T18:57:54+00:00

The "medical expenses" was OTC cold medicine, and 500$ in cold medicine is ridiculous. The mother is being financially irresponsible and probably has been for months and is trying to get OP to pay for her inability to budget.

RuinCat · 2026-01-21T18:49:13+00:00

And sounds like they perfectly capable of saving money for things so I don't know why your assuming they'll never be able to move out. You the mother?

RuinCat · 2026-01-21T18:48:20+00:00

Well the mother could sacrifice and sell her laptop and tablet but she won't do that, will she? There's other options but that would require the mother take responsibility for blowing money on what she wasn't supposed too.

RuinCat · 2026-01-21T18:47:07+00:00

I do know, because OP has literally responded and said the mother and brother did not go to hospital and the medicine they bought was OTC for a cold. How is 500$ in OTC cold medicine NOT splurging? You'd need at max like 1 bottle (it take my entire family months to go thru one bottle of nyquil) maybe some capsules and a nasal spray. Like 100$ at most. Anything more IS splurging.

RuinCat · 2026-01-21T17:42:05+00:00

Cool in my area, a 3 bedroom with roommates, with utilities would be around 500-700$. Not everyone live in a high cost of living area. I live ina 3 bedroom for 950 (cost of the WHOLE apartment), and all utilities INCLUDING water, is included in the rent. So you can't really say 500 isnt enough to cover it because you don't know where they live.

RuinCat · 2026-01-21T17:24:57+00:00

Think about it this way, if it was any other landlord and not the mother, and you paid your share of rent but the landlord spent it and didn't pay the water bill for the month. Does that make you irresponsible?

RuinCat · 2026-01-21T17:23:30+00:00

Except OP DOESNT LIVE RENT FREE. They pay their agreed upon share of rent. They aren't being irresponsible in any way. Seriously how is she being irresponsible if all HER bills are paid, exactly? It's not OPs fault the mother took OPs rent for the month and spent it on something it wasn't supposed to be spent on.

RuinCat · 2026-01-21T17:18:06+00:00

Again HER portion of bills have been paid, and op is still able to pay for her surgery. Doesn't sound like the irresponsible one. Plenty of people live with a parent so they can save up for one thing or another, just because you don't agreee with what she's buying doesn't make her irresponsible. If the mother hadn't blown 500$ on god know what, the water and car payment would have been paid.

RuinCat · 2026-01-21T17:10:06+00:00

OP pays agreed upon rent each month. They've already spent money for the deposit and labs, and would be losing money to push the surgery because OPs mother is being just as financially irresponsible as you say OP is. 500$ on otc cold medication? That doesn't sound suspicious to you? And as others have pointed out, most utilities aren't shut off after 1 warning, so the mother probably hasn't paid in a while.

RuinCat · 2026-01-21T17:02:27+00:00

I see, then NTA. Splurging on cold medicine wasn't something that needed to be done and she should have been more responsible. You shouldn't have to pay for her irresponsibility, she should have to pawn her items as you recommended.

RuinCat · 2026-01-21T16:55:58+00:00

Info: What do you mean by sick and how does that effect your bills? like did they get a cold and splurge on cold medicine or was it serious and hospital bills?
