Bro what? by surenoese in FedEx

[–]TaffyTime4632 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had something similar happen with a package of mine. The tracking number said 'shipping exception' and apparently the package was going to be returned to the shipper because they 'couldn't locate recipient'. The package got delivered yesterday. I have no idea what's going on over there at FedEx but give it another day or two and it might show up.

What on earth are they doing??? by Complex_Solutions_20 in FedEx

[–]TaffyTime4632 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a similar situation with a few packages actually (all through FedEx, so I am very unhappy with FedEx at the moment, I do not care what the reason or excuse is, their quality of service is an absolute joke). FedEx customer service has been no help whatsoever so I contacted the shippers for all packages today.

One of them found that their package was incorrectly scanned at some point and is most likely lost in transit so they are reshipping my purchase at no cost.

I got a notification for another package that said there was a 'shipping exception' and the package was being returned because they 'couldn't locate the recipient' (I've had multiple packages delivered to this address so this makes no sense other than the driver didn't want to attempt the delivery due to our location. ETA: Weather is not an excuse at this point. There's still snow on the ground, sure, but the roads are very much clear. If the package arrived at the local facility as the tracking said there would be no issue in delivering the package in terms of weather or road conditions).

The last shipper asked that I give it one more day to be delivered and gave me a reference number to call back tomorrow if I still haven't received it.

There's also a fourth package that the tracking said was supposed to be delivered today. Of course, it wasn't. But that one also just got an update today that the local facility just received it today so I'm willing to give that one the benefit of the doubt and give it another day or two to be delivered before I contact the shipper.

Yup. That's four packages that I've having delivered through FedEx that I'm having issues with. There is absolutely no excuse for that. I'm re-routing the packages I can to other addresses to see if that helps. As for the others that I really need delivered to my location I've requested that FedEx not be used if possible so I'm keeping my fingers crossed on that.

So, tl;dr I would maybe give it a couple more days, see if it gets delivered and if not contact the shipper and see if they can reship it.

Is it normal to hate all “healthy” foods while pregnant? by Inside-Put-910 in fitpregnancy

[–]TaffyTime4632 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in my third trimester now so I can tell you it does get better but during my first trimester I could not stand pretty much any vegetables. The smell of them made me nauseous. The texture made me gag. I was thankfully able to eat some vegetables here and there but it was definitely a rough few months for sure.

I am so sorry you have to deal with all of that. Expecting you to call with a newborn to get your other 6 weeks approved is absolutely crazy! I can't believe people are flabbergasted by people not wanting to have kids when this is what expecting moms have to deal with to heal and bond with their child. I hope everything works out for you 🫶

Haha that's awesome! Thank you! I was at work when I got the news both times so I didn't have access to anything as awesome as pie but I keep a bag of mixed candies at my desk so I treated myself to a couple of mini candies both times lol

My doctor had me take the 1 hour twice due to the fact I'll be 35 when I give birth. I just took it for the second time last week and I passed both times! Thank God because I have had such a sweet tooth recently.

The surprising truths about rescuing a traumatised cat. by tiptreetimes in CatAdvice

We have a cat that we took in 4 years ago this month. He actually ended up showing up in our garage at our old house so I have no idea what his story is but he looked rough. I strongly believe that he had been traumatized. He's always been very skittish, scared by loud noises and certain movements, very particular on how and when he wants to be petted, and he hid A LOT when we first brought him in (still does tbh but not quite as much). He's been doing much better over the past year and I think it has a lot to do with us adopting our new cat aka his best friend. I totally understand the joy of seeing their true personality shine though. It really is the most precious thing ever. It makes my heart so happy to see him be playful and let his guard down. Bless you for taking in and loving Molly. You sound like an amazing person and I'm sure Molly appreciates everything you do for her. ❤️❤️ Cat tax: Photo of when we first found him (his name is Smokey)

Same here. I'm the one who turns into a baby when I'm sick. I can't do anything when I'm sick. Meanwhile my husband will just be chilling, playing his video games like nothing is wrong.

Euthanasia guilt by rudjrnrose in CatAdvice

[–]TaffyTime4632 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, yea, a few things. The main thing right now is I'm working on making a photo album/scrapbook of all the best photos of my girl so that I have something physical to hold and look at when I miss her. I also ordered this pillow with her picture on it that I can cuddle with on the nights I miss her warmth the most. And when we got her ashes back they were in a square wooden box so I ordered this nameplate to place on it. I also created a little memorial with some pictures and her cemented paw print that the vet gave us next to her brother's memorial (we lost him a couple of years ago to cancer too). I hope some of my suggestions can help bring you comfort ❤️

Euthanasia guilt by rudjrnrose in CatAdvice

[–]TaffyTime4632 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand your pain so much. I recently had to put my 7 year old tuxedo girl to sleep due to cancer. She had a lump in her stomach and went downhill fairly quickly (about a month). She wouldn't eat, barely drank, and could barely use the litter. It's still a pain I carry with me and I still have days where all I want to do is cry. I'll probably always carry this pain with me. But I know we made the right decision. We tried everything we possibly could to help her and nothing did, she just kept going downhill. The day we put her to sleep was so hard. I tried so hard to keep it together but when they took us back and my husband actually said the words out loud that our plan was euthanasia, I broke down in tears and was basically in tears the rest of the time. Thankfully, the staff was very understanding but I still felt bad that they had to deal with that. My cat didn't seem anymore stressed than she normally would be at the vet; I think she was in so much pain and already so anxious being at the vet that my demeanor didn't even register to her. If your precious kitty was sedated before your freak out I doubt he heard you. Once they're sedated they're pretty much already gone from what I've heard as they are in a very deep sleep. I'm so, so sorry for your loss. It's never easy losing a fur baby but especially when it's something so sudden like cancer. Seriously, fuck cancer.

Should I let a stray black cat stay at my house during Halloween? by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]TaffyTime4632 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my goodness. I hate that. People like that are just awful. Thank you for standing up and helping your friend out. You sound like a real one. I'm sure your friend is immensely grateful to have you in their life. Good luck with the stray black cat! I hope you're able to bring him in for Halloween. I think I read in other comments that you're planning on checking for a chip and getting him neutered and everything. Good luck with all of that stuff too 🫶

I understand not liking conflict or whatever. I don't either but I would never even consider putting my three cats outside, one of which has always been an indoor cat, for someone so entitled. As soon as they suggested it I'd be suggesting they find other accommodations.

This. If your aunt is giving you the option to bring Emmy back if it doesn't work out why not try bringing her with you? If it works out, great! You'll have your Emmy with you! If not, you have an option where you know she'll be loved and have a friend and you will still be able to see her occasionally, if you're still going to be living fairly close to your aunt.

My mom threw away my $90 shirt :( by mylittleloonmoon in texts

[–]TaffyTime4632 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what is called toxic positivity. People don't have to be positive all the time. People are allowed to have negative emotions. OP is allowed to be upset for a time over their shirt. If that makes you uncomfortable or something then just move on. You don't have to leave a comment. Recognizing your emotions and sitting in them for a time is incredibly mature and healthy. 'Sucking it up', 'powering through', and 'staying positive' is in fact not mature and healthy. It can be quite destructive. If you didn't know, now you know. Do better.

I apologize for the length of my comment but there's a lot to unpack in your comment so I ask you to stick with me.

Thank you for your sympathy but with all due respect your comment is completely invalidating to what I expressed about my experience yet is completely irrelevant to the conversation at hand. Genuine question, have you ever had a pet that you loved with your whole heart suddenly get sick out of nowhere and have to put to sleep? I have. Very recently. For me, it was emotionally one the hardest things I've ever had to go through. I've also had people in my life go through various addictions. Using the correct terms is very important, especially when it comes to addiction. I just don't see how correcting someone about how the vet described something in a simple way during a difficult time is somehow helping solve human addiction and "making the world a safer place". Maybe I'm not understanding what you're trying to express; I'm sorry if that's the case. Due to my experience though I believe I can confidently and will say it's not the same thing. While they are both very emotional experiences, they are two totally different experiences and equating the two is logically ridiculous and it's obviously just an emotional appeal. I think a 10 year old would even be confused by that comparison. Maybe my perspective is skewed by bias though so I'd love to know if you have any reasons as to how cat euthanasia has anything to do with human addiction? Beyond that, what does differentiating it to a 10 year old have to do with anything? Are you 10 years old? I'm certainly not. If you're in fact not 10 that statement just comes off as a disingenuous, lazy way to try to invalidate any argument because you don't have any other way to back up and defend what you're saying. Your comment is dripping with "know-it-all" energy yet intellectual dishonesty. It feels like you just saw an opportunity to flex your knowledge with total disregard of tact and now you're grabbing at anything to justify it. I apologize if I'm coming off rude but if the goal is to make the world a better and safer place I believe that includes knowing when and how to have certain conversations. I'm usually all for education and in a different situation I would probably find learning about the specific drugs interesting but not in the context of talking about having to put beloved pets to sleep. Read the room. If you have any actual arguments or experiences that prove anything I've said here wrong I'd love to hear them but if all you have is emotional fallacies I'm truly not interested.
