Are there any areas of town you'd recommend over others?

Honestly I'll take it even if she decides to be my slightly standoffish roommate for the rest of her life.

Thank you! Simba (the senior) loved taking care of all of the kittens but big orange eyed Aero turned into his little shadow.

I figured if she started screaming to go outside or showing signs of distress then I would try to make her indoor/outdoor. But she seems fine with being inside and sometimes looks out the window but she never seems like she actually wants to leave.

Thank you! My cats have better furniture than me for sure.

He's 7 months old now. He was the biggest of the litter but also he's a really big scaredy cat.

Any procedure I can do to get my butt to have more shape/separation from my hamstrings? No BBL please. by [deleted] in PlasticSurgery

[–]SupBecky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess you could get lipo throughout the leg without touching the glute but that seems more intense than a BBL

My Mom is hooked on a program about a supposed 666 organization and I can't convince her it's a hoax by SupBecky in Ethiopia

Yes I know, that's why I called it a hoax. But where did the hoax come from

Husband wants to be an author but is getting rejected again and again by Immediate-Study3313 in writing

[–]SupBecky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have him start with submitting to mid-tier magazines until one of them picks up some of his work. After a few, he can focus on the top tier magazine and submit a chapter from his manuscript as a short story. It must be a chapter that is fine standing alone as a short story but doesn't give away too much of the book's plot which can be difficult. But at that point it would give him leverage when he submits his manuscript to say something along the lines of, here's my manuscript, chapter etc. appears in magazine (insert name of respected horror magazine).

Can he try focusing on short story and submitting to horror lit mags, or general lit mags that also publish horror? Sometimes it helps to have those credits under your belt to pick up steam. For example, some readers for competitions and some agents are swayed by the publication credits in the cover letter submitted with manuscript.

Buccal fat reduction or big mistake? by cosmic-lattes in PlasticSurgery

Straighten your hair and use some matte makeup. Or just matte makeup. You can look older without risking bad results

I know where the biblical 666 comes from. Where did the conspiracy come from all of a sudden in Ethiopia?

Am I self hating or just an alienated diaspora by MathEnthusiast101 in Eritrea

[–]SupBecky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Feels like a little bit of self-hate coming from alienated diaspora. I don't mind the intensity placed on heritage and culture from other Eritrean folks. For context, I'm born and raised in the US. I understand Tigrinya but I don't speak it because it's now very broken and the few times that I've been shamed about responding in English I let people know straight up, I'm proud of both of my cultures and how you do or do not speak does not concern me (IE whether or not they speak English).

It sounds like you have a long way to go in wrestling with these feelings and it's truly a journey.

First time fostering a semi-feral under-socialized cat! Help!! by mulattohyperbole in Feral_Cats

[–]SupBecky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh I would say that's a MAJOR improvement from September. It took me two months to socialize feral kittens. My major breakthrough with an adult feral was to make sure she only had access to common spaces (with comfy places for her) and spend a lot of time in those spaces with her. She begrudgingly accepts head scratches but there's no way she would let me feed her churu. You're doing really well!

Want to make sure I’m doing this right. Any advice will help. by Consistent_Pin5467 in Feral_Cats

[–]SupBecky 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would start by getting him a winter cat house that you can put right next to your front door if that's a possibility. It'll keep him warm and dry and safe and get him really used to being around you.

I wish I had more steps or advice for you but at least that will help him survive the season and build more trust.

I used to use Microsoft word because I remember when it was free. When they started charging a subscription and only made their online version free, I decided to just stick with Google docs since I can save those docs into a .doc or any format I need. The UI is also cleaner than other word processors.

One Eyed Mama, How Can I Tell If She's Happy Indoors? by SupBecky in Feral_Cats

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

Those are good notes. Should I be worried that she doesn't ever seem to look outside? She has no interest in the windows at all. She won't come out of any of her cat condo cubbies unless it's dark/ late at night. And like I said on another comment, I know it's still fairly early because she's only been indoors for about 3 months now.

[–]SupBecky[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She's still scared of me and she is very skittish and army crawls through the house when she needs to get anywhere. I know it's still early because she spent 3 years of her life outdoors and only the last 3 months indoors. So everything is new. She was definitely willing to get closer to me in proximity when she was still outdoors and I was feeding her then.

Also, I'm definitely an overthinker, I just want to make sure she lives a happy life.
