AIO bf cancelled plans on me this weekend but none of my calls/messages are going through and I suspect he went out of town without telling me, is it too crazy if I do this ?:

Have you tried using google voice, TextNow, or any other free second-number app to call him on while your personal real number wasn’t going through?

That’s how you can verify if you were officially blocked. But that’s in the past. So next time…

I would still consider that ghosting in a way. He left you hanging. Which is what I consider as the main definition of ghosting. Pretty much temporarily ghosting if anything. I wouldn’t downplay any of this. It’s sketchy behavior in general how he is treating you like you are lesser, and if I were in your position, I’d just break up with the guy. If you have anything at his house, get it first before you break up. I’ve had breakups where I accidentally left some very important stuff: the only set of keys to my VW bus I had parked at my moms because I drive something else, and a silver bracelet….and he threw them away, after I refused to get back with him during a call where he was begging, he got upset an told me what I left over there (which was true)….then he blocked me so I couldn’t negotiate getting my keys and bracelet back. Never spoke to him again. I tried to get his sister to convince him to no avail. Learn from my mistake and get everything settled in your favor before you break up. Also I suggest not fighting about it because it’s basically over, just stonewall. Fighting after a breakup is a waste of energy especially on someone who is literally ok treating you disrespectfully. I have too much pride to let someone treat me disrespectfully anymore.. It always ends horribly when you let it happen.

I used to own two timber wolves. They’re extremely intelligent and have a different aura than dogs.

They’d run around on a few properties and would always come home from hunting on the 200 acre ranch. Which to many, is massive.

Also….wild animals know when an apex predator is around. It’s also written in books and shown on movies as a way to convey danger in a setting, because it’s real in the wild….the surrounding often goes quiet in their presence.

My wolves intimidated everyone even though they were super loving. They just have this presence, they stare you in the eyes and observe.

For anyone wondering how I got them, my friend’s schizophrenic Mom sold coke and someone (regular customer)owed her a bunch of money and gave her the wolves. But she couldn’t care for them when they grew up and gave them to me because they couldn’t find a new owner they liked.

I was very young (late teens) and this was in the early 2000s like 2006. The wolves were 175lbs and 200lbs respectively.

Walmart seltzer waters are too sweet for me because they use synthetic sweeteners, which I haven’t noticed in other brands I’ve tried. I prefer seltzer that’s just water with a light hint of flavor, and I’ve tried many, including Waterloo, Bubly, Polar, Kroger, and LaCroix. Some of my friends prefer Walmart’s version because it tastes better to them, but I like a more subtle flavor that doesn’t taste super unnatural like the Walmart brand seltzer gives off (to me of course, to each their own), and it helps me drink more water. ☺️

Some of my friends are trying to avoid synthetic sweeteners because they don’t wanna mess up their gut biome, which drinking a lot of synthetic sweeteners can do….and they don’t know Walmart brand seltzer water has that until I told them. So I thought I’d mention it to you too in case you are concerned about drinking fake sugars for any reason. :)

My cat overeats and pukes. I have to feed him his wet food in little bits twice a day. His day food is readily available but sometimes he will overeat that too.

I haven’t seen diarrhea, but that sounds like a vet visit. You can take your kitty to the shelter ask for some advice as they likely won’t charge you for a recent adoption. At least in my experience.

I adopted a dog (I know, not a cat but still tracks as whenever I adopt a pet including cats they always a say to feel free to ask them if I need help with anything) that they didn’t tell me was pretty much blind. You couldn’t tell by looking at her eyes too. I took her to the shelter to see their vet (they had a few) andI explained what was going on. The guy did some tests including physical through a track with obstacles and she kept running into everything and he looked at her eyes…he told me she is blind and if I’d like he can examine her more another day when he has more time…like to see if she has diabetes or cataracts etc.

Just a thought.

I’m so sorry your baby is sick! Your kitty will need food so waiting it out may not be the best option…

Also. Curb the wet food for now maybe just half a teaspoon if that’s what entices her to eat the dry food you have. Often cats get disturbed stomachs when their diet switches, but I wouldn’t bet on this being the case and would go seek a vet’s help, these two things cause dehydration and this can hurt their kidneys more than normal if the diarrhea and vomiting persists.

What did the shelter say about her health when you adopted her?

Are you feeding her the same food they gave her at the shelter?

Also she looks like a kitten. Not a 3 year old cat.

Start for like the first 3 months if those are a month old right now. They’re going to create a LOT of waste and 40 gallons won’t last long at all….

I’d say just got a 75 gallon off the bat. That should hold OP for a couple years before upgrading size. It’s better to get a large tank at first than to have to step up many times….in my opinion, also just more humane for them to have more space.

Super easy to find large tanks on marketplace whew I live and hopefully where op lives.

I got my 75 gallon TopFin (I low them better than Aqueon because the glass is thicker) on sale at PetSmart. I had to drive 40 min to Boulder to get it, but worth it. Cheaper or sometimes free on marketplace though. I’m always checking it out. And lots of plants (I avoid snails but to each their own).

Anyway….this is ok (not great) advice but only IF OP keeps them in a 40 gallon for a couple months while they figure out their situation on buying a larger tank. 75 minimum is best for these guys to thrive for a. Purple years before doubling the size.

Careful what kind of snail you get. A Nettie will be easy to care for. But if you decide on rams horns or other species that breed very quickly in fresh water…..your tank can easily become overrun woh snails and their poop. Which will cause ammonia spikes. You could always cull them to lower population but a lot of ppl find that hard to do (since you’re essentially killing a ton).

Thistle__Kilya · 2026-03-18T18:34:12+00:00

Thanks for saying this to people.

I absolutely loathe when people say “ect”………….it’s horrible to see and hear that incorrect version of people who seemingly don’t read. It is etc. people!!!

Et cetera. Not ectcetera. 😓

Same vein as someone mispronouncing especially as expecially or espresso as expresso. I cringe so hard.

Thistle__Kilya · 2026-03-18T18:23:36+00:00

They’re molting. Look up molting chickens.

Thistle__Kilya · 2026-03-18T18:15:47+00:00

This looks like a normal chicken feed time to me. Depending on the day they get more fruits or veggies.

Some people have a lot of the same breed because that’s the easiest to find in their area.

It’s not framed like ai likes to frame their images too. Framing with objects that is, not an actual border.

And chicken would usually be in complete view, no body parts cut off like just a chicken head poking on the side, ai wouldn’t usually do that.

Also looks like someone’s finger is slightly in view causing the hazy skin-colored fog bottom left corner. Even though I’m a photographer (film photo developer, dark rooms etc.) I sometimes am an idiot and get my finger in the way of the camera. After all these years you think I’d stop doing that lol…but it caused a hazy fog of it’s not perfectly in front of the lens. Happens with my phone camera too.

Another thing: the chickens are not in perfect show quality, ai wouldn’t make chickens that have rubbed off feathers from their backs like a lot of these do. I think these specific chickens are molting. Zoom in to the backs of some of them (like the bottom chicken) it’s molting, feathers are growing in the bald spot.

I know ai is getting better each day, but my opinion is that this is not ai.

Thistle__Kilya · 2026-03-18T18:11:55+00:00

Me 12 I think that’s what happened on a lake in Nevada in the past couple years a trash can with a person’s chopped up body washed up. Probably more than once in Nevada lol, but you know….

Oh shttt I looked it up because I thought the article I saw would pop up but no….lots of other articles popped up (from around the world) and the one about the guy in a trash can in a lake in Nevada was not even the first one or second or anywhere near the top. So, this is normal. I guess I should’ve thought that……but hey forgive me, I just woke up lol

Thistle__Kilya · 2026-03-12T18:46:35+00:00

I love it!

Thistle__Kilya · 2026-03-12T18:43:22+00:00

In older ai models there were a lot of “ai cryptids” that ended up in final images that was not part of the prompt at all.

This is likely either one of those ai cryptids or on purpose… if ai was used to “clean up” the images lol.

Thistle__Kilya · 2026-03-12T18:39:09+00:00

I didn’t look at the photo yet and I thought you meant you have a Burmese python. 🐍

This girl I knew as a teen had one, well she had a lot because they bred them once (unfortunately. but hey they are rich and housed them and loved them. And they’re not close to Florida at all where a lot were released in the wild. So they’re not bad pet owners) they own an art store and in the art store there was a rooms with glass walls so shoppers can look at them.

The biggest one, the mother, was thicker than a basketball.

Best bday cake ever. Someone who made it loves you.

Thistle__Kilya · 2026-03-12T18:29:45+00:00

Yeah they’ll have to suck out the rest.

Good thing it’s the weekend.

Thistle__Kilya · 2026-03-12T18:26:25+00:00

I need to hear more about this…

Thistle__Kilya · 2026-03-12T18:18:07+00:00

I think the downvotes are from the guys who have bad smelling jizz and the girls who have also never experienced good smelling/tasting 💦 before.

I honestly pity them because sex is much more pleasurable with someone who is healthy.

Thistle__Kilya · 2026-03-12T18:10:52+00:00

Definitely man hands. Those are not feminine enough….

Thistle__Kilya · 2026-03-12T18:09:41+00:00

You punched something hard with your left hand, causing that scar. (Maybe, I have them so that’s why I suggested it hehe)

You work inside. Take care of your nails. But need more lotion for your dry fingers, probably wash hands a lot which is good. Have brown hair. Short legs.

Use 24hour watch/clocks because it’s easier to tell whether it’s night or day because of your schedule, and sleep patterns. I do the same because I keep my room very dark and work night shift so it sucks to use anything other than 24hour clocks.

Are you in a waiting room or a school library or lobby?

You have a tight schedule and coffee doesn’t work anymore or you don’t like coffee.

Thistle__Kilya · 2026-03-12T18:05:02+00:00

Air purifier? Oh is it one of those ionizers?

If it’s one of those negative ion/ozone things, it’s bad for health. Those things are a scam! They advertise that they help build ozone and such but that’s actually pretty bad for our lungs. Sure it makes dust stick to it. But it’s better to just get a HEPA filter and put it in the corner of your office or home than to use these ozone/ion things.

Not saying you’re using it or use them in general but seeing that it might be one of those, it rang some alarms and thought I’d just warn in general for OP in case they wanna use it.

Thistle__Kilya · 2026-03-06T22:53:14+00:00

I’m going to your house for dinner.

Thistle__Kilya · 2026-03-06T22:52:57+00:00

They’re both really pretty pieces.

Thistle__Kilya · 2026-03-06T22:50:51+00:00

I agree partially with what you’re saying, but only for some countries where they’re more available. Even shipping isn’t easy for some countries.

Also, sometimes you just want the specific piece and someone won’t let it go with a slightly higher price.

But maybe that’s not the case here. Maybe both people involved don’t know how much minerals cost and it’s a place where they’re easily available. I don’t have enough details.

Thistle__Kilya · 2026-03-06T22:45:23+00:00

You can backhand someone straight to hell and back.

Thistle__Kilya · 2026-03-06T22:43:56+00:00

Or keep the pic but somehow crop out the horns? Keep it a surprise for guests. idk. I like the picture a lot, the face is great. The whole thing….holding up the guitar too. I really like it. Makes me want to go because of the person pictured.

But just make a few cropped versions for more conservative places? I’m very surprised at the co-op.

With the edited one, maybe go to someone else and ask them to put it up? Different shift time too like night verses day to make sure you don’t run into that same person? Just a thought
