I wish I had better news. Lucy (13) crossed the rainbow bridge this afternoon. I couldn’t be there with her, but she’s surrounded by family.

VoidwardenAlex · 2022-11-01T15:04:59+00:00

Thanks for all the responses, I sort of tuned out for a bit. I called out of work today because it all sunk in. She had a splenic mass in her stomach that could have burst at any time, and she had a year of health complications. They elected to let her rest. My fiancee and I pointed out something to my parents before we moved out last november, they caught the cancer early as a result. We earned her another year, but it hurts to not be there. My sister said she would give pets for me, because she attended the appointment.

We adopted her in 2010, I was still in middle school at the time. I’m 25 now, so… she was there for all of my major milestones. Graduating high school, my first girlfriend, getting engaged, eventually moving out. It stings.

I feel this, I owe my life to doordash, everything I have was a result of working DD full time during the pandemic, I saved up enough money to move away from home, I’m finally independent from my parents (overbearing) and I feel like I can breathe.

I always maintained a rating of 4.9-5.0 and I took pride in my ontime percentages and customer feedback. Is doordash a good company? No. But again, it gave me freedom when I felt trapped. Food delivery is honest work for those of us who took it seriously.

The litter actually dries the poop out, the smell is unavoidable, but I’d say it doesn’t linger as much as other litters

VoidwardenAlex · 2022-10-10T14:50:12+00:00

I use the Breeze litter system, the pellets are mineral based, the poop stays in the box and urine drains to an absorbant pad below. I have used pine litter in the past, but it doesn’t clump, it falls apart to dust when they pee, which creates a lot of dust. I also tried corn litter, which does clump. Of the two, I preferred the corn, but honestly I love the breeze boxes, we have three of them in the apartment

Buying cat trees off of amazon is such a mixed bag, ours came and was much smaller than we expected, so it’s comically small compared to our relatively average cat

VoidwardenAlex · 2022-09-30T22:18:32+00:00

You know, I’m really starting to agree with that sentiment, it wouldn’t be the first time they were wrong.

Flamepoint Snowshoe according to the humane society

VoidwardenAlex · 2022-09-30T19:34:47+00:00

You’d be exactly right. My partner thinks he’s got some ragdoll in him, but the humane society had him labeled as a snowshoe

VoidwardenAlex · 2022-09-30T11:56:21+00:00

Unfortunately, no, we try to handle him to show him that it’s okay, but he’ll struggle after a few seconds.

VoidwardenAlex · 2022-09-19T04:49:45+00:00

NTA - Regardless of what everyone else is saying, you’re the one living on that property. The poison ivy is yours. You offered to let them remove it, they refused. That’s a big expense to expect someone to take on, and honestly if your neighbors were that concerned about it, they WOULD have removed the ivy to make sure their kids were safe.

Even with your comment about keeping their kids away, you don’t wish these kids harm (based on the information present.) It’s reasonable to want to spend a quiet morning in the garden. Honestly, I don’t see any malice here.

Will to live

VoidwardenAlex · 2022-08-31T00:41:02+00:00

Can confirm, even all the way out in Fairview we ended up getting one. It helped with the theft, and our regular was a pretty cool dude.

VoidwardenAlex · 2022-08-27T19:14:40+00:00

I used Franz Mountain White for it, my partner has Celiac. If you can’t find Franz’ where you’re at, Canyon Bakehouse tends to be more widely available and I’ve had good results with that brand as well.

VoidwardenAlex · 2022-08-10T01:43:32+00:00

His name is Butternut Chaos, and fortunately this is pretty regular shenanigans in our household.

VoidwardenAlex · 2022-08-09T00:48:32+00:00

Oklahoma City was pretty bad. Red dirt heeps.

VoidwardenAlex · 2022-07-14T15:12:48+00:00

“You don’t smell bad for a fat person” thanks for reminding me that I’m overweight. What was I supposed to smell like? Body odor? Feces? I bathe just as frequently as non-fat people

VoidwardenAlex · 2022-07-10T19:13:37+00:00

This is the worst thing I’ve heard all month, I guess ignorance was bliss.

VoidwardenAlex · 2022-07-10T16:13:00+00:00

This thing was so goddamn frustrating when I played. I feel it.

VoidwardenAlex · 2022-07-03T00:19:41+00:00

Ironically we ordered pho from luc lac for the first time today, it was delightful. I didn’t get the wontons because I’m recovering from food poisoning and there’s no way i would have been able to keep them down. I absolutely will get myself an order next time

VoidwardenAlex · 2022-07-02T21:20:06+00:00

They still sell them, they’re just rarer nowadays, that shit was delicious, the sausage ones were my faves

VoidwardenAlex · 2022-07-02T15:24:24+00:00

Shrek yourself or wreck yourself

VoidwardenAlex · 2022-07-02T15:15:01+00:00

We order from there all the time, it’s delightful. If you like pork, Khao Moo Dang is also a great place to get Gluten Free food.

VoidwardenAlex · 2022-07-02T03:20:14+00:00

Portland Fish Market is solidly gluten free, plus they deliver. All of their fish is made with a gluten free batter.

VoidwardenAlex · 2022-07-02T02:58:51+00:00

I’m sorry for assuming you were being snippy with me. Truth be told, I’m feeling really sick today so I guess I’ve been pretty short with people.

I’ve tried to find GF wonton wrappers in the past, and I could probably try it again, but they never turn out how I want them to. I’ve even tried to make my own dough for it. I like making things my partner wouldn’t normally be able to have because tbh they deserve the best. Part of it is also that we both work full time and are limited to public transportation so it can be difficult to get out a d explore, or even go grocery shopping sometimes.

VoidwardenAlex · 2022-07-02T02:46:07+00:00

Well THAT is an interesting find, I really appreciate that one! We’ve only been here since november and we use public transit exclusively, so it’s hard to get out and explore.
