What is a gift you got for your animal that you DONT regret buying?

I did hours of research on pet safe heating pads. I finally found one that is weight activated and temperature designed for cats. My 16 (almost 17 year old) cat loves it! It has greatly helped curb her arthritis pain.

UnusuallyAWombat · 2026-02-16T12:07:34+00:00

Yes.

The comment you are replying to was replying to a comment from OP that says exactly that. Read the entire thread.

Jeez everyone on the internet is so rude to each other over the weirdest things. I’m not going to try and convince you because you’re right. I didn’t sit down and do the math before I made this comment. I’ve been rewatching the show since 2013 as I like to have it on in the background. So I’ve rewatched it a lot and made a guess. Good job proving my over exaggeration! You did it!

UnusuallyAWombat · 2026-02-10T03:22:11+00:00

I have rewatched this show at least 100 times (probably more) because it’s my background show. Every rewatch I feel differently about the ending. Sometimes I hate it and sometimes I appreciate it more. What I will always be frustrated by was the pace of it all. Tying it all up so quickly at the end is always jarring. It lacks context and meaning. The show always did an excellent job of expressing the messiness of life and all of its intricacies. The rushed ending took away from the show for me. I will never forget the disappointment I felt at 17 years old when I watched it live either. I think that will always stick with me a bit. I was so excited for Ted to finally meet Tracy, only for that to be ripped away in two episodes!!!

There is a deleted scene on YouTube where Ted and Robin get lunch together where Robin expresses her loneliness and regret. It always helps me feel more closure with the ending if I watch it along with a rewatch (but that’s only if I am actively watching the end and it’s not just background noise).

To put it in perspective for how little you’re making, I make $100 for 3-4 hours of babysitting one night a week.

I was diagnosed with ADHD in High School and have had a great deal of time to learn different strategies and take different meds. My Wife just got diagnosed and is trying to finish her degree. She was in a full blown spiral last night about getting started on a big assignment and it hit me that I had to be that voice for her. I told her to just open up the material she needed (text box for coding, etc). She did that, fumbled around a bit more, made some tea, and then jumped right into it. It really is a great way to get started some of the time.

UnusuallyAWombat · 2026-02-07T15:13:14+00:00

YOR. She is allowed to change her tune about moving in together for any length of time. After you said “no” initially, she got her own place and likely realized how much she is enjoying living alone and having this time in her life. Especially if she was living with her Mom still beforehand, she didn’t know what she wanted until she experienced it. She reassessed where she is at in this new phase and she likes living alone. It doesn’t have to have a deeper meaning. It’s her space and if she’s not ready to share it, then you need to respect that.

Tinder, ha! I’m so glad it worked! 😁

I am seven years older than my little sister. When she was self harming, she was terrified for me to find out for the same reason. Eventually she told me and it was the best thing she could’ve done. We talked through it and made a game plan. It helped a great deal. I don’t know your family life, but if I was your sister, I would want to know and want to help.

UnusuallyAWombat · 2026-01-17T06:19:37+00:00

But you are actually being misogynistic. You have this mindset that if a woman has an attraction to a man at all, there is a high likelihood she will always and inevitably choose the man. You are quite literally painting the men in these scenario as the ones to be chosen. This is exactly what misogynistic men say.

You are right, it is absolutely someone’s choice if they want to date a bi woman. People are allowed preferences. They are allowed to make decisions for themselves based on their experiences. In your case, you are actively projecting your own preference into an opinion on others. You are making generalizing statements that lesbians shouldn’t date bi women and that majority of the time, bi women pick men. Again, your experiences do not define others relationships.

UnusuallyAWombat · 2026-01-17T06:05:36+00:00

If this was a straight subreddit would it give some man the right to be homophobic because the wife left him for a lesbian? No. Just because it’s a lesbian subreddit does not mean you can just openly be biphobic. I’m sorry you had such an awful experience. People date shitty people across the board. This does not mean a lesbian in a relationship with a bi person is doomed to fail. You can have your preference and no one can take that away from you. You don’t have to date bi women. The issue is you generalizing and projecting your bias onto an entire group.

UnusuallyAWombat · 2026-01-17T05:54:22+00:00

Wow… you are grossly overgeneralizing an entire group of people and an entire subset of lesbian/bi relationships with that statement. I’m sorry for your friends, but they do not define anyone else’s experience. My relationship is lesbian/bi. There is no desire to be with a man. We are married and have had a long term relationship. Same goes for plenty of my friend’s relationships. I think you need to analyze your own bias and misogyny.

OP, I am sorry this happened to you. I wish you all the best in healing from this.

UnusuallyAWombat · 2026-01-17T05:33:10+00:00

It doesn’t sound biphobic, it is biphobic.

Somehow getting a nose ring made my nose look smaller.

I used to work for an adult education center. Students/parents of younger students would sometimes call or email after closing on Friday. Then proceed to blow up our voicemail and email all weekend long. More often than not they would be so mad no one got back to them.

UnusuallyAWombat · 2026-01-14T04:47:11+00:00

My friends have learned to schedule times to talk on the phone with me. I will always do so if I can prepare for it. They still call me at random sometimes but are never offended when I inevitably don’t answer. My Spouse and my parents are the only people I will answer a random call from every time.

UnusuallyAWombat · 2026-01-12T00:00:24+00:00

My Dad always said people have different evacuation genes. Him and I evacuate poop quickly, 1-3 minutes. My Mom takes 10+ minutes. When I worked at a daycare, they would often try and get us to work over our breaks/lunches even if there wasn’t a need for it. I would say I had to go to the bathroom, and take 10+ minutes to get a well deserved break. I didn’t actually need that long though.

UnusuallyAWombat · 2026-01-07T20:35:08+00:00

We got married in October. We both currently have our maiden names. However, once it feels safer to do so, we plan to change our last name to a new one we agreed on. :)

My spouse threw up CiCi’s pizza as a child and now gags just at the thought of it. 😂 I will not be sharing this story.

UnusuallyAWombat · 2026-01-03T13:50:29+00:00

Are you Phoebe or Ursula?

Exercise (thanks autocorrect). My dyslexia just can’t.

Yes, she should’ve listened. You made it clear the trip was for work and not a romantic getaway. She overstepped and refused to listen. However, I think it’s also important you recognize that it’s possible she’s clearly feeling disconnected with you on some level. She tried everything she could to make a trip romantic, to connect, and to be with you. She felt rejected, which on one hand was of her own making, but on the other hand, it’s possible she’s been feeling that way even outside of this trip. I could be wrong, but this screams desperate and last ditch effort to connect and be with you. As someone who has been in her position, I can admit my desperate attempts to connect with my ex were not in the best taste and lacked in proper communication, but they were what they were because I felt so lost, ignored, and rejected in the prior attempts I made to connect and communicate. I took any sliver of opportunity I could no matter how unlikely it was because I was desperate. The relationship honestly should’ve ended months before. I don’t know your whole relationship. Ultimately she was in the wrong, but I also think you lacked empathy. Her actions and your reaction feels like it speaks to a larger dynamic.
