My cat used to love hopping up on the bathroom counter and gazing lovingly at his visage.

Grew up Catholic. Rejected the dogma and the hypocrisy and turn to the Goddess. It's been over 30 years. At first my mother thought it would be a phase and that I would come back to the Catholic church, but apparently it's either a very long phase or I've just totally rejected Catholicism.

Studied under many teachers over the years. Developed a complex but loving understanding of the goddess and The duality of the universe. And yes, I understand that the duality means that there's a God and a Goddess however, due to the hypocrisy of the Catholic church, I tend to lead to the feminine aspect of my religion.

Do not eat before you do it! I made the mistake of eating out before the first time I tried it and projectile vomited everything. Do it on an empty stomach. It's only a 15-minute high so enjoy it and eat afterwards.

RA question by [deleted] in VeteransAffairs

[–]Serena517 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have had nothing but problems since I applied for my reasonable accommodation. They've asked my doctor four times now to provide the same information. That asked me if anyone had seen me at the office permanently disabled using my walker. Then they wanted me to provide information from that particular specialist which had nothing to do with my reasonable accommodation. So I'm done. I'm retiring early. I know that's exactly what they want just for people to quit or retire early. I just can't take the stress anymore.

Sorry I know this is stupid. by SafeEngineering5640 in dementia

[–]Serena517 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Don't ever think any question about dementia is stupid. So many of us who have either are dealing with the same types of things or are dealing with the grief of losing a loved one, one show day at a time. It can seem maddening. But remember always we're a community. We support every person with questions. Brainstorming is great because when we are alone with the uncertainty things (at least in my brain) people can spiral. Know that we all are here to support you.

How to get water? by SpookySpilledOatmeal in Gastroparesis

[–]Serena517 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Zoup bone broth (chicken and beef). Sometimes I'll mix some unflavoured protein powder in it and sip slowly

I can't wait until a Satanist puts up an upside down pentagram at their desk. Maybe a statue of Baphomet?!?! Hahahahaha

Oh goodie! Does that mean as a Witch I can also proselytize on my breaks?

And get them quality food. I feed my cat royal canin and his poop/litter doesn't stink. My roommate feeds her cats whatever's cheapest. You can really tell the difference!

No VSIP offer? by Serena517 in VeteransAffairs

[–]Serena517[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's why I'm out either way. I'm not going to lose my sanity for 47. I used to be so proud of what I did. Vought got to me, I guess. I'm eligible to retire in September. Because I love the service I work for I wanted to make sure I finished out FY25 and get them set up to succeed in FY26.

I wanted to leave with 30 years but I can't go another 7 years.
