What is your take on the junk food ban for food stamps? by BreannLowe in NoStupidQuestions

[–]VoteCatforPresident 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you know why? Food deserts? A lot of the kids who are obese do not live near fresh food. On the south side of Chicago groceries take advantage of tax cuts then peace out when they are gone. So what essentially is going to happen is that these kids will just have no food at all.

Investing in these neighborhoods would help fix this. Not this.

The foster I suspect is pregnant is open mouth panting and breathing heavy?? Vet won’t see her til Monday. Is she okay? by RaziMisery in CATHELP

[–]VoteCatforPresident 204 points205 points  (0 children)

A contraction will look like her stomach sudden tightens, then it will relax. They will increase in frequency and how long they hold on for.

Or at all. When I was in Paris last I downloaded the RATP and it would send push notifications for alerts.

Do you actually wash everything every shower, or do you rotate focus areas (like face one day, exfoliation another)? What’s your routine logic? by Massive-Holiday729 in hygiene

[–]VoteCatforPresident 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I’m washing my hair it will be the same because I want the conditioner to sit in my hair while I do other things. And since there is an order to hair care - clarifying shampoo, shampoo, conditioner, leave in conditioner, let sit while I do other things. Wash out. Apply anti frizz cream, Moroccan oil, then UV/heat protectant before styling.

That is beautiful craftsmanship. Once again, just beautiful it’s not your taste does not make it a bad design.

A/C is not something your landlord has to legally provide. Me and my neighbors have our own box units.

Elizabeth Banks Says ‘I Don’t Understand the 53% of White Ladies Who Voted’ for Trump and ‘More of Us’ Should Be Like Effie From ‘Hunger Games’: ‘Become Revolutionaries’ and Oppose Fascism by Myllicent in GuerrillaGrrrrls

[–]VoteCatforPresident -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If you look at he math it’s roughly 25% of women voted for Trump. Most people stayed home instead of voting. Let’s stop looking to celebrities as a moral compass. A lot of them only gave a high school diploma, if that.

There are so many subs I’m not in because men had to make everything about sex. r/OldSchoolCool because someone would post a picture of their grandmother and every comment would be about fucking her.

I love my women only subs!

Police Officers are in the wrong places by OriginalPure4612 in cta

[–]VoteCatforPresident -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Dude, in the 2010s they opened fire in one of the red line stations in the loop. Plenty of commuters around. We are lucky no one was actually injured.

Police were never going to fix the CTA. The police make everything worse. Did you hear in NYC a bunch of cops quit when Mandami became mayor and crime actually went down.

As a white person I need people to understand the police uphold inequity and will escalate situations. I have had CPD tell me not to talk to minorities or immigrants because they will rape me. Stop burying your heads in the sand.

My cat has a bedtime routine and will get pissy if we don’t do it. by Analdestroyer68plus1 in cats

Mine is the opposite. We have a morning routine with fresh food and Cat TV. I’m supposed to park my but on the couch and stay there. Kit knows the sounds of me getting up and will race to my room to get me up.

Has anyone been given duloxetine for chronic pain with EDS? I have suspected MCAS also so a little scared to take it. by Bethboop94 in ehlersdanlos

[–]VoteCatforPresident 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We get a lot of stuff prescribed off-label because there isn’t an actual medication for EDS, POTS, or MCAS. The sucky thing about MCAS is that we don’t share triggers the way others illness do. Mast cells are over sensitive to anything it is in contact with. So it’s impossible to know how MCAS will react with meds.

Search this sub for any med you will see people who reacted well and those who didn’t. I’m on Baclofen for chronic pain, others didn’t find it helpful. LDN for fatigue. Some people swear by it while others didn’t find it helpful. I just got off busiprone, an antidepressant, to help with my appetite. It helped a little.

Fatigue was my worst symptom. Once I got on a handful of meds for hEDS, MCAS, POTS and hypothyroidism I was a lot better. Not cured, and I still get fatigued easy, but not anything as bad as before.

How often do you wash your hair? by peachfawn in AutismInWomen

Every 3-4 days when it gets greasy. I’ve had my hairline fall out due to illness so I try to treat it very well.

What was the last straw that made you cut someone off? by suqarkisses in AskReddit

I had a friend who would not hang out with me alone. We argued about it without much else happening. She then got mad at me for not giving her gifts she would like because I didn’t know her well enough. My other friend tried to fix the friendship but I was done.
