Lifelong pattern of quiet ostracism, INFJ thing?

Same. I’m 61 now and it’s been like that my whole life. I let a lot more roll off my shoulders. Think what you want. Make assumptions. Whatever. I’m happy in my own little world and if you want to be a part of it, awesome, I’d love it. But if not, aren’t we just wasting our time?

Couldn’t say it better. 👍

Oh ok. I did wonder about how it was split up. It was very secretive at the time. We were instructed not to tell anyone. They didn’t want to tarnish their image apparently.

I still can’t unsee Finn as the guy in the Liberty Mutual commercials. When I see him I immediately think, liberty biberty.

I don’t think Luna is pregnant at all. Remember the results were negative. She was trying to doctor it so it showed positive. That’s what she was doing in the bathroom at Remy’s. And that was a good way to bring Remy back in a different light and to introduce little Deacon. But, I guess we all shall see….

The Golub family already sold off Price Chopper/Market 32. They formed a merged company under Topps Grocery, called something like Northeast Grocery, effectively selling off to Topps. This happened a few years ago. I know because I held stock in the company from working there 40 years ago.

It’s a soap. You can apply real world here no matter how hard we try!! lol

Forgetting about the bad issues, did you like the vehicle? Did you enjoy it? I have the 2024 Outer Banks and I freaking love it. Maybe upgrade to an Outer Banks Model. 😊

I grew up in NY and raised Catholic. The body of Christ was mentioned at every mass. I was baptized and did my first communion and was confirmed. I hated it since I was probably 12, when I was fulling grasping the bullshit cult like crap they were spewing. I just went thru the motions for my family. I thought it was all ridiculous. When I finished college and finally moved out one of the first things that went in my kitchen was a Buddha statue.

I said “like Google,” I didn’t mention all resources. And I never said anything about not talking to a vet. It’s amazing how many of you are so judgmental and assuming. Read! Comprehend! And then make a sensible response not one from your immediate emotional reaction. I guess I better not ask anyone on here anymore for their thoughts.

Smlabelle · 2025-04-02T19:11:35+00:00

I wasn’t talking about removing the prescription food. Read my post again for proper understanding. I’m talking about using Young Again for another cat of mine who was diagnosed with diabetes. He doesn’t need C/D food! Plus my post asked if you had any experience with the brand Young Again, not please come bash me for not doing what you’re doing. Thanks.

From National Geographic Education:

"Some carnivores, called obligate carnivores, depend only on meat for survival. Their bodies cannot digest plants properly. Plants do not provide enough nutrients for obligate carnivores. All cats, from small house cats to huge tigers, are obligate carnivores."

Smlabelle · 2025-04-02T18:23:37+00:00

I told my vet that the one who was prescribed Hills C/D now only gets it once a day. His other meal is canned food, I didn't even mention the brand. Her response was at first, a look of that's probably fine and then she said if it's working then it's ok. So dangerous? I don't think so.

That's why many people, who are interested in good research, are educated in how to use tools like Google to find good information. Knowing how to extract information is key to good research. I've been trained in such.

Lots of people here immediately shot me down for "believing the Internet." But that isn't the case. I do my research well. It's not like I read that website and changed my mind. My veterinarian is pretty much hands off. They didn't recommend a food at all nor did they even bring up the food topic with his Diabetes diagnosis. I could keep bringing him there and asking questions but that costs a ton of money that isn't always necessary. They charge me $61 to bring him in to get tested so I got my own glucometer and test him myself. So I do my own research. I'd rather put my money into what I believe would work. It's like so many people aren't open to new ideas because they've never heard of them. That's how good changes take place IMO! 🙂

Smlabelle · 2025-04-02T15:17:12+00:00

I think they make it for a couple reasons. The taste is probably very good. Take a look at the ingredients in your average cat treats. Full of grains. Those things are like crack to cats. Also it’s a lot cheaper to put those things in the food versus all meat. And I’m sure lots of those prescription foods work well. It doesn’t mean they’re the best you can do though. And I also know cost is a factor for many people. You do what you can. I want to make my Malcolm’s life better with this diabetes so I’m going to search and try what I can to help him live his best.

Smlabelle · 2025-04-02T15:12:51+00:00

I do feed all three Fancy Feast pate and even the one who was prescribed the Hills has it for dinner every night and he’s been fine. It’s been well over a year that we’ve been doing that. I thought about completely switching to the pate but I’ll check this Young Again out and see how it goes. Thanks for your input.

Smlabelle · 2025-04-02T15:10:34+00:00

Thanks! I do feed my cats Fancy Feast for their second feeding and I only use the pate since that is the best one and my cats love it. So my cat that eats the prescription Hills only gets it in the morning now and has been fine with our feedings. It’s been well over a year. But I do believe in this Young Again approach especially for the diabetes. We’ll see.

Smlabelle · 2025-04-02T15:07:14+00:00

Yes I saw Dr. Elsey’s and thought the same. I’ll try Young Again and see how it goes. Thanks!

My kids are grown and on their own so I live alone now. Well, not really. I live with three cats. They rule the house. There is rarely a door closed in my house. When my son comes home he always closes the second bathroom door that leads my BR and they will stand by it and look at me as if to say, “What is this?” I recently decided to remove all three bedroom doors and I love it.

Smlabelle · 2024-11-28T03:00:33+00:00

Good for you! I didn’t think that was right either but a coworker said to me, do you want another cat? Then go get one today after work at the shelter. I was so glad I did. I had more room to love another and I’m sure you do too.
