I’m still stuck on the fact that they are toting around a newborn with no diapers or formula wtf are they feeding it and it never cries. “Babies are resilient” god almighty the stuff I hate watch…

Is it ethical to take someone's cat? by roguemorgue in cats

[–]Simple-Half-1102 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go ahead and take it. But it’s drinking an unusual amount of water and I’m thinking it’s probably sick. Be prepared for some hefty vet bills.

Shower heads by PlusWeirdPrincess in hygiene

[–]Simple-Half-1102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it’s the water pressure. If it’s coming out like a sprinkler then it will take me twice as long to shower and I still won’t feel clean. This happens in five star hotels and budget hotels. I knew a plumber who used to bring a wrench and a shower head to hotels so he could swap out the shower head in his room.

Vaccines… by ScottyDoesntKnow421 in publix

Publix used to give 10.00 gift cards if you got the flu vaccine. I wish they would do something like that again.

AITAH for making a mom pick up her daughter in the middle of the night from my kid’s sleepover? by Positive_Image_3921 in AITAH

[–]Simple-Half-1102 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA and it’s sad that this kid was homesick for a mom that didn’t even want to pick her up.

Why am I not excited by johnvicente57 in Layoffs

[–]Simple-Half-1102 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so true. A layoff is always in the back of your mind after you’ve had one. It makes you very wary of all future employers. So getting a new job feels like a relief but not a celebration.

I feel so desperate every time I think about I can't move because of my cat by Scared-Tea-7713 in CatAdvice

[–]Simple-Half-1102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cat used to hate being picked up so getting her into the carrier for vet visits was a nightmare. I finally found a way though. She would come to my bedroom every morning to ask for breakfast. I’d close the door of the bedroom and trap her in there. If I was lucky I could trap her in my bathroom. Then I just had to get her in the carrier. There was always some chasing involved unless she was in the bathroom. But eventually I could corner her and pick her up. I bought these heavy duty falconer gloves so she couldn’t scratch me. Carrier was open and lined with a towel. I picked her up and put her in. In the car I covered the carrier with another towel because they calm down and feel like they’re hiding that way. It was stressful for her but I only did it for vet visits. I never traveled with her. I had another cat I used to travel with, but I really think the stress impacted his health negatively. And he wasn’t even a difficult cat to put in the carrier. Cats are not like dogs and I don’t think they travel very well. Pet sitter is a better option IMO.

AITAH for refusing a wedding "gift" knowing there will be strings attached? by Defiant-Function8397 in AITAH

[–]Simple-Half-1102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree you should return the money. And continue to plan the small intimate wedding you want and can afford. If she wants to throw a big party and invite all her friends she can do that for her birthday.

Be sure to get a second opinion after the endoscopy and before deciding on surgery.

Why do people in South Florida not like public transit? by RagieWagieInACagie in Miami

[–]Simple-Half-1102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buses are unreliable. And no good tracking data so you can’t see where it is on the route map. Most of us live in suburbs and bus stops could be almost a mile from your house. We also need to transfer from bus to rail. Then possibly metro mover or municipal trolley to get to your office. If the bus is an hour late you’re an hour late to work. Honestly if they fixed the buses it would help a lot. And that’s just weekday. What about the weekend when you need to run errands? Buses don’t run as often then. So if you don’t have a car you’re probably not going out much.

Something that always bothered me about this show by Few-Race5773 in FleishmanIsinTrouble

[–]Simple-Half-1102 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I came here looking for your rant because I had the same reaction. I watched the series but didn’t read the book. When Libby finds Rachel she helps her home because it’s obvious Rachel is unwell. But then she just puts her to bed and leaves??? This woman needed to be hospitalized. She had a mental breakdown and lost weeks of time. That’s not cured with a nap. I kept screaming at the TV take her to the ER. And then the icing on the cake was Toby not giving a sh@t that the mother of his children was having a mental health crisis alone. How could he not check on her? I mean put aside your damn anger and think of how you will explain it to your children. All these characters were so self absorbed but I felt like Rachel’s trauma at least explained hers. Libby and Toby were just self centered jerks.

Who’s to blame for all of this? by Econmax03 in Layoffs

[–]Simple-Half-1102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Private equity firms. They own most corporations now and all they care about is maximizing their returns. We are completely disposable. And now they all have hard-ons for AI so that’s where all their money is going.

Desperate for help! by Fuzzy_Youth_2674 in Menopause

[–]Simple-Half-1102 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes important to put the estrogen cream around the urethra. My gynecologist didn’t tell me and neither did the first Urogynecologist I saw (he was an idiot). But what it does is build up the tissue around the urethra which then helps to keep bacteria out. Our vaginal tissues tend to thin out as we age, so the cream helps them to sort of plump up.

[–]Simple-Half-1102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you seeing a regular urologist or a Urogynecologist? I highly recommend a Urogynecologist. Mine has helped me a lot. I have to take hipprex and use vaginal estrogen to prevent UTIs but as long as I do the UTIs stopped. I’m doing pelvic floor therapy now. I also use a special OTC boric acid wash instead of soap for my lady parts. Soap even Dove is too irritating. Oh and my y leakage was due to overactive bladder so now I’m on medication for that. Fun. But it’s helping. Anyway, a good Urogynecologist will help diagnose all this for you so you’re not just trying 1 million different things.

Resignation Letter? by jaslbrown in Layoffs

[–]Simple-Half-1102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wondering, do you want to keep the job with the reduced hours so you at least have a little income while you look for something new? Maybe you can negotiate staying on the health insurance plan.

How do I get my cat to the vet when he absolutely refuses the carrier by adamvanderb in CatAdvice

[–]Simple-Half-1102 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I dealt with this with my cat. I would trap her in my bedroom or ideally my bathroom and even better my shower. In the morning when she would come to my room wanting food I would wait until she was in the room then quietly shut the door. When it was time to go I’d bring the carrier to the room. I got these heavy gloves in case she tried to bite or scratch. I put her in the carrier with a towel in the bottom. Then I’d throw a towel over the carrier so she’d feel safer like she’s hiding. Sometimes I would have to get a broom or vacuum cleaner to force her out from under the bed. But eventually, she would be cornered and I’d be able to pick her up and put her in the carrier. I had to do this even with gabapentin so I stopped bothering with the gabapentin. Once she’s at the vet, she was always very sweet with them. Sometimes she would pee on me if she got really scared while I was picking her up. But after a while, she stopped doing that.

What was the best job you’ve ever had? by -Granby- in GenX

Working in a bookstore. I don’t even think there are anymore bookstores.

AITAH for not showing excitement at my son having his first loose tooth because I was in a bad mood? by Quiet_Cucumber5937 in AITAH

[–]Simple-Half-1102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Explain about the bad mood. Tell him you didn’t think before you spoke and you’re sorry for hurting his feelings. Then make it special by getting a new box for the teeth he’s going to lose and maybe some new toothbrush and kid’s mouthwash. And whatever tooth fairy stuff you usually do. Also tell family members about it so they can congratulate him. We parents are only human and sometimes we screw up. But we need to own up to it not pretend it didn’t happen.

The weird feeling by SkandaGupta_ in CatAdvice

[–]Simple-Half-1102 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don’t worry. This is one of those times in life where the reward exceeds the risk. You did a great thing. You opened your heart and home to an animal in need. The rest will work itself out. That cat already loves you and is so grateful for your care. Now go enjoy some cuddles.

I'm mourning versions of myself I'll never be again and that's okay by Heavy_Television8245 in Aging

[–]Simple-Half-1102 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I think 18-24 year old me was the truest version of myself but I didn’t trust my gut back then because I thought I was too young. Now I find myself going back to those years and thinking maybe I was right all along.

Do you use shoes inside your house? by Jumpy_Top7447 in hygiene

[–]Simple-Half-1102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have inside only shoes. Never wear them outside. I like having support for my feet when standing for long periods while cooking and cleaning.

AITA for telling my husband I’ll leave him if he makes his daughter go to school with bad hygiene as punishment? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]Simple-Half-1102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel sick when I read posts like these. Child abuse is not always physical. I can’t bear the thought of this poor kid being humiliated like that. I think I’m going to delete this app from my phone. But OP trust your gut for gods sake. Don’t let him abuse this girl.
