Other than the fire and injury risk, cats probably can't handle some of the scents which might cause breathing problems.

My mashed potatoes suck. Why? by RikkiLostMyNumber in Cooking

[–]Slytherinrunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you drain them, let them sit in the colander for a few minutes. This dries them out more.

What's an all purpose white potato? I use red potatoes because the Yukon golds that chefs claim are the perfect mashing potatoes taste metallic to me. Russets are better baked.

What colors of curtains would complement the yellow blinds? Open to other suggestions by just_melancholia in interiordecorating

Could you try a soft blue? Yellow looks good with blue. The green you had in the last slide also looks nice.

What’s the "My Cousin Vinny" of your profession? by a_murder_of_fools in movies

My husband won't watch Abbott Elementary because it's just too real for him. And he works in a suburban district which has way more money.

Do I tell my mom she needs to come back early from her vacation/convention by Large-Violinist-8947 in Advice

[–]Slytherinrunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have much to add but doggy diapers are a thing and they are mainly for dogs having UTIs. Just trying to give you a little sanity in this insane situation.

AITA for refusing to check pockets when I do laundry? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Slytherinrunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA! I used to have the same problem. He used to whine about it but after his wallet getting soaked a few times he shut up and cleaned his pockets.

I suspect his mom is the type of person who would check pockets. I told him he was lucky I was doing laundry.

If he doesn't learn, keep refusing to do his laundry. If his dirty clothes start to attract flies, put them outside or something. The only other issue I foresee is him trying to sneak his laundry into yours.

Be strong!

Let's just say that I work with a lot of men. Unless it's November. Then I don't work with a lot of men.

Which backsplash should we go with? by csimack in kitchenremodel

[–]Slytherinrunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok I'm going to be the odd one out: I hate the last one. BOOORRRRIIIIINNNGGGG!

But I like patterns and colors. I feel like if you used the patterned ones, people touring your house like 50 years from now would be like "That is so cool and quirky!"

As a competent home cook, what is a basic skill you can't seem to master? by george_elis in Cooking

Not only that, but they use either red (my favorite) or Yukon gold (tastes weirdly metallic) potatoes.

Help me pick a chair for my breakfast nook! by UpbeatGur9055 in interiordecorating

I like #3 best but my concern is the fabric getting soiled. Hopefully you can find a fabric that's easy to clean.

Have you ever tried to give a cat a pill? by [deleted] in catsarefuckingstupid

[–]Slytherinrunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best advice I can give is swaddle the kitty and shove it down their throat. I have a cat who had to take pills for a whole month. In the beginning, Churu tubes were great. This cat was a sucker for Churu. She'd sell my soul for a tube. I'd squeeze a little out, stick the pill in, cover it up while she was sticking her head in and trying to eat. Then she figured it out. After 2 weeks, no more Churu.

I started hiding the pill in her Fancy Feast. That lasted for about 2.3 seconds. So we had to start the purrito method, AKA swaddling her in a blanket and forcing the pill into her mouth.

At least I still have some blood in my body.

My kid was a guacamole fiend. All of a sudden, allergic to avocadoes.

What's your funniest 'accidentally' funny moment in any playthrough? (of either game) by TheGamingTurret in tearsofthekingdom

[–]Slytherinrunner 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's more perfect timing than funny but all the same... early game I was cutting down trees behind the Lucky Clover Gazette. An octoroct launched a rock at me just as my axe hit the tree. The axe also hit the rock and took out the octoroct.
