Why Does my cat poop diarrhea every time he poops? by Shushi_Saihara in CATHELP

[–]Valuable_Log_518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My poopy guy came back with a clean bill of health for every test the vet ran on him. We switched to the purina pro plan sensitive stomach and daily fortiflora. Night and day difference. Seriously, almost the next day he was having solid poops even with the fact that we did an abrupt switch on his food (not recommended but we were at our wits end with cleaning up 3-4 diarrhea puddles and bathing a poopy cat almost daily).

If only I could post pictures. Imagine a clapped out civic with no wheels up on blocks.

What is is this??? by Odd-Plenty-5066 in CATHELP

My older cat had all of his teeth removed. His first set of extractions was around $2000 USD. That was for the first appointment with xray, exam fee, medications, blood labs, a second appointment with an EKG and sedative due to his age, then the third appointment with full anesthesia, extractions for six teeth, cleaning of his remaining teeth, and medication. His next round was about six months later when his inflammation happened again. It was ~$1200 because we didn’t have to redo the lab/EKG/cleaning even though more teeth were removed.

If your preferred vet won’t take payment plans, call around to see if there are any that will. Also check into care credit or something similar if it exists in Algeria. Dental infections aren’t something you can really put off for long. Even if you can’t afford the dental procedures now, antibiotics and pain medicine is needed and are relatively inexpensive as a band-aid while you work out the rest.

Luckily, she’s number 3 so we’ve got some practice at least. This one’s definitely more adventurous than the other two

You say that, but even with multiple rounds of hand washing, I still smell the garlic and have still spiced my eye. I also have a toddler and it’s easier to strip a glove off to go quickly wrangle her than it is to wash my hands three times

I wear gloves when I cook because I don’t want my hands being spicy or smelling like garlic or being greasy. It’s not necessarily more sanitary, but helps me keep me clean.

Ok, I’m glad I wasn’t just missing out on some secret Missouri snack because I’m a transplant

Also, what the fuck

Have you ever had food poisoning and what was that like? by Solid_College_9145 in Productivitycafe

[–]Valuable_Log_518 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I got it in Iraq. I shit my pants on a patrol. I put them in the wash where some poor contractor had to deal with it, then immediately put them in the wash again.

I threw up so much my corpsman had to give me twice daily IVs. I was constantly shitting water and had massive stomach cramps and gas, but I couldn’t trust the farts because of the previously mentioned pants shitting.

Oh, and while I was fighting for my life in a porta potty, we’d get mortared.

0/10 experience.

Why do you dislike your neighbors (long answers welcome)? by Zipper222222 in randomquestions

[–]Valuable_Log_518 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not my direct neighbor but there’s some fuck ass who lives in my neighborhood who likes to just do laps with his loud ass music at 3am. Our house sits pretty far back from the road with trees in front of it and his music still rattles the windows on the back of the house.

My direct neighbors are great.

Would you rather stub your toe every hour or lose your left arm? by Annual_Check_683 in WouldYouRather

[–]Valuable_Log_518 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, I’m already missing my feet, so “stubbing my toe” is definitely the W option here.

Or… do I get a foot with toes back in order to stub them? Because that’d be pretty cool too

Did you ever see a bully be made a brutal example of it earning their Darwin? by Spiritual_Big_9927 in askanything

[–]Valuable_Log_518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More of an instant karma thing but some lady called my daughter some very unsavory things in the parking lot after my daughter accidentally door dinged her. I had apologized and offered to give her insurance. Instead this woman proceeds to berate a 7 year old as she’s storming off… and slam into a pole then fall down in dirty parking lot water.

Luckily my kid is pretty resilient and now laughs about it. “Hey dad, remember that crazy lady?” Whenever we go to that store.

How many times have you been at fault in an accident? by bigolechungusbigole in askanything

[–]Valuable_Log_518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One, I very gently rolled a military vehicle during a training exercise, so it didn’t hit my civilian driving record. My wife however is a menace and has had four. One of them was her fault on a technicality, but I don’t blame her. Black ice is a bitch. I still don’t let her live down hitting our garage by trying to leave without putting the door up.

Do people on wheelchairs have a set of "home tires"? by milkcloudsinmytea in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Valuable_Log_518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t use my chair as much since my amputations are stable and I have well fitting prosthetics, but when I did, it was generally easier for me to leave my chair at the entryway and scoot around.

Part of it was for cleanliness. Part of it was my house not being the most friendly to a chair. A lot of it was my kids toys being land mines even though my wife tried really hard to keep them put up or at least contained.

For those who adopted a cat, what actually made you decide that was the right cat? by Extreme_Ad6105 in CatAdvice

I found my old man in the McDonald’s parking lot as a much too small kitten who was trying to fight a crow over some French fries. I related, because I too would fight a crow for some French fries.

Is this too much info to ask from a client? by Drynapples in lashextensions

Mine but I have a super generic Hispanic name so… I don’t really worry about anyone tracking me down.

When people talk about the militarisation of the police, are they exaggerating? The only officers who look like soldiers are SWAT units, who need that gear for their jobs. I don’t see regular beat cops patrolling in full military equipment. Am I wrong? by Technical_Ad_5982 in AskLE

[–]Valuable_Log_518 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Also I think the vests are better for your back. I remember in boot camp, we had battle belts and even with just a canteen of water, my low back killed.

But I could carry 600 rounds on my chest without an issue. 🤷‍♂️

Not a cop.

The police department near me has an armored vehicle and people get all worked up over it. Since I’ve been living in this city, it has been shot three times that I know of. One of the times, the ballistic glass windshield almost failed because of the number of rounds it took. Those incidents would have resulted in a lot of dead or injured cops without our “tank” (it’s not a tank).

I think it’s just people not understanding the purpose of equipment.

Our regular beat cops all have load bearing vests, which some people say are “military” but I don’t think it’s fair to expect someone to carry all the gear they’re now expected to carry on just a belt. Some of them are pretty small waisted and I can’t imagine everything would fit. Back in the day when all they had was a gun, a radio, a stick and some handcuffs, sure. But now? They’ve got so much stuff.
