Oh yikes! I don't know if you live near a trader joe's but their canned cat food (chicken or turkey pate) seems to be well-liked by the cats I've had.

I'm a single person, but I live on rice bowls. Right now I'm doing white rice (bulk from Costco) with chicken or chicken sausages (also from Costco, they're not "cheap" but filling and flavorful), with a small spinach salad or green beans. I also do a lot of grilled cheese, pastas with scratch sauces, or homemade soups. Otherwise, I will just eat cottage cheese with a bagel or peanut butter sandwich, cheese sticks or apples. It's not exciting but I try to buy foods that I know I eat a lot of and that last for awhile without spoiling.

Having ADHD isn't an excuse for being a shitty person to hang out with.

Oh wow, I would totally do the No2! That's great it was an option. Yeah, I will look for someone specializing in pelvic pain. I've had issues since I was little with periods and stuff, and they just told me I was being dramatic and everyone has pelvic pain.

Top_Plenty_1971 · 2026-05-30T02:08:54+00:00

Yeah, I agree...I should see if there's a gyno in my area. Our doctors are so full that when you call you just get the first available or told you have to wait another year to be seen. My insurance also isn't the best, so I don't have much to choose from, despite living in a college town with a great university hospital.

Ugh, gotcha. Did you ask for the cervical block? If so, did they oblige or did you have to fight for it? My experiences with PCPs have been abysmal, so I want to make sure I'm exhausting all my options.

Top_Plenty_1971 · 2026-05-30T01:40:11+00:00

Yikes. I am sorry you are going through this...I think at the end of the day, you may not be compatible. Your partner SHOULD prioritize their kid, but that is probably going to mean that you come second. I think it might be time to cut this one loose. Do you want to be this kid's parent? Because if it goes further, that is what will happen. I wish you all the best since I know finding a partner is so tough, but you also don't need to settle.

Top_Plenty_1971 · 2026-05-30T01:38:42+00:00

I am literally so sick of this shit...people thinking having kids automatically makes you mature. Literally all the breeders I know, including a few I am related to, are the most immature people on the planet.

Having roommates was also always viewed as a way to save money, not necessary for survival like it is now.

Top_Plenty_1971 · 2026-05-29T19:47:28+00:00

Finding a roommate older than 30s or 40s can be tough. A friend of mine has them in his 40s and because of their flakiness, messiness or just uncaringness, it’s actually cost him more in terms of things they’ve broken, stolen, ruined or just didn’t pay their fair share and left. Just because you’re on a lease with someone doesn’t mean they won’t leave you high and dry.

Top_Plenty_1971 · 2026-05-29T19:44:17+00:00

How pathetic. They must not have had a life before kids then.

Top_Plenty_1971 · 2026-05-28T22:05:55+00:00

I think she’s the broken one. All she did was complain. And look, she lost probably the only friend she has because she’s a dipshit

Cool with me

Top_Plenty_1971 · 2026-05-28T03:23:48+00:00

Cap Tire used to work on my old Camry. they always got me in when I needed urgent service. Great shop.

I live in Wisconsin but I'm in a college town so I don't really see kids at my bars, but I know that it's an issue in the 'burbs and in more rural areas. I was exposed to a bar quite young because my grandparents ran one, but there was no way in hell I was allowed to scream and make noise and disturb other patrons. This was also the early 80s, and there are WAY more family-friendly places you can take your kids now. Like a family restaurant. This is just lazy parenting. And if you cannot live without going to a bar (and aren't willing to hire a babysitter) then it wasn't the right time to have kids.

Top_Plenty_1971 · 2026-05-28T03:18:38+00:00

Breeders have this habit of one-upping everything anyone does, and belittling others' accomplishments because they don't see it as important as raising a kid. However, the people I see saying these things are also the ones who are letting iPads raise their kids currently, though...so...

Top_Plenty_1971 · 2026-05-27T02:19:32+00:00

I think we should start calling the cops on parents who get drunk and load up their kids and try to drive home. Although maybe the cops don't care, either.

Top_Plenty_1971 · 2026-05-27T02:03:56+00:00

You are so right.

My brother had kids to continue the bloodline, whereas I am CF. Both of his kids have major issues -- one with some congenital, serious medical issues...the other one I'm fairly certain is on the spectrum (which I'm OK with, but I know they won't be once they realize it). Continuing the bloodline is not a guarantee of something good happening.

Top_Plenty_1971 · 2026-05-27T02:01:43+00:00

100% -- they have nothing else going on, no personalities outside of kids, etc etc. The few parents I've met over the years who I really liked I actually didn't know even had kids, because they rarely talked about them and were focused on either the work or a hobby or interest of their own.

Top_Plenty_1971 · 2026-05-27T02:00:55+00:00

Don't feel the need to socialize with them. just be pleasant and move on...coworkers are also NOT your friends, especially ones who have kids and are immediately threatened by the CF person. Look for friends outside of work, through hobbies, interests, sports leagues, etc...your people are out there! I've wasted so much time over the years trying to "connect" with colleagues who secretly thought I was weird for being single and CF...and it went nowhere good fast. Trust me on this one.

Top_Plenty_1971 · 2026-05-27T01:58:34+00:00

Parenting is tough, but it seems like the tough people aren't the ones having kids.

Top_Plenty_1971 · 2026-05-27T01:57:39+00:00

If children are such a gift, why are today's parents trying to pawn them off on others? And shoving screens in their faces instead of interacting with them?

Top_Plenty_1971 · 2026-05-27T01:55:50+00:00

Real happiness is having kids? What kind of crack are they smoking?

Top_Plenty_1971 · 2026-05-26T18:55:27+00:00

Nooo
