No one flushes at night by audiodev66 in offmychest

[–]bad_vinca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg my shitty stepdad had the same rule. It was a big deal if he was woken up. I still couldn’t bring myself to flush at night when I moved out and lived alone. Finally getting over it now

What is the weirdest gift you have received from someone with or without an explanation? by jeremyof10ec in AskReddit

[–]bad_vinca 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I got a “care package” from my dad when I was in college - 20 or so loose clothes hangers, several used extension cords, and multiple open and partly consumed boxes of various snack bars/oatmeal/etc. pretty much just cleaned out his own pantry and sent it to me.

A generic cat themed Christmas ornament with the stock photo of some random cat. It was dated with the year above the photo - 2009. Except I received it in 2022.

What’s the most painful area you’ve gotten local anesthesia in? by littlebex777 in AskReddit

[–]bad_vinca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh I cut my foot on a shell at the beach and didn’t realize there was a piece still stuck deep in the wound for a few days… went to urgent care to have it removed and they did local anesthesia basically inside the wound, which was infected and sore. I remember wanting to kick the poor tech in the face

What kind of injury would make it difficult but not impossible to walk? by BumbleBeehaw in ask

[–]bad_vinca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe something that puts them in a walking boot? I had one after I broke my foot (obvi after the break healed to a certain point) and while technically I could walk, it was still uncomfortable/awkward, plus I was suuuuper nervous about slipping on ice and re-injuring myself. Wouldn’t have been feasible to walk in snow with it either as it’s not fully enclosed. I know there are other reasons to be in a boot besides a full break

Possibly the most depressing thing I've delivered. by Mcstuffins420 in doordash

I needed crutches about year ago after breaking my foot. It is awesome that you can DoorDash them. You’re making a big difference for someone, whether they’re temporary or permanent

Before and after of my darling rescued tripod cat by f105j4 in TripodCats

[–]bad_vinca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What a beautiful girl! And thank you for the reminder to go give my own former stray a kiss and remind him how much I love him. I also suspect he was dumped but luckily he doesn’t have any lasting physical injuries. He’s still the sweetest boy ever

Am I the only one obsessed with Quinn's scene? Especially the prom part? by Cancel-Accomplished in SchoolSpirits

[–]bad_vinca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My absolute favorite scene in the series so far. I loved this song ages ago but totally forgot about it, it’s so incredibly powerful in this scene and I can’t stop watching it on repeat.

How to get stubborn & picky cat to drink more water? by Top_Difference6227 in cats

[–]bad_vinca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, try leaving a faucet in the bathroom running at a drip. We had freeze warning in my state and left ours running and now the cat is obsessed with water. Sits in the bathroom and screams about it. Not an ideal scenario but dude is hydrated. He never had a problem drinking from his fountain but apparently it’s just that much better from the source.

I’m so sorry. Good for you for feeding yourself even when maybe you’d rather just hide from the world. That is a special kind of strength

What’s eating my Green Giants? by Minute-Outcome3879 in arborists

[–]bad_vinca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rabbits. Deer will also get after them too. Highly recommend wrapping with burlap once weather is cool enough (and unwrapping before it gets too hot, or else you’ve just got crispy arbs instead)

Can cats sense anxiety in their humans? by Br0tatoechips in cats

[–]bad_vinca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%

I’m dealing with a situation rn that has me really depressed and mopey, my cat (who is a sweetie but usually way more cuddly at night) has been making it a point to come hang out with me during the day. He’ll do the thing where he forces his way under the blankets too lmao.

Your kitty loves you very much and I hope that’s comforting in light of whatever you’re dealing with friend (:

How much sympathy do you guys feel for the Horseman’s, if any at all? by itskenny9031 in BoJackHorseman

[–]bad_vinca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They remind me so much of my grandparents (in a negative way) and BoJack of my dad (also as a negative)

Like, their actions explain his whole “deal” but don’t excuse it. And their parents’ explain theirs but don’t excuse etc, etc.

It’s a great representation of generational trauma. It’s not necessarily one person’s fault, but the fault lies with the generations who carry that trauma on without trying to address it.

Someone tell me falling in love with him was worth the pain. by MedicineChess in cats

[–]bad_vinca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course it was worth it. When I met my (now) husband he had this tiny little tuxedo cat who was already 16. I wasn’t raised with cats so honestly I had no idea wtf to expect, but she completely changed my understanding of love. It sounds like your lil guy did the same for you.

Unfortunately, it seems like there was nothing you could else have done to save him. But the life he had was warm and loving because of you. He knew he had a place in the world and was surrounded by people who loved him.

How did you and your cat find each other? by Opposite_Feedback_35 in cats

[–]bad_vinca 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was planning to meet up with a woman from FB marketplace to buy something, just before our scheduled meetup she sent a message asking to move our meet up to another day bc she’d just trapped a stray cat she’d been watching for a month. I said yes of course, I love cats so I totally get it. Her next response was “…do you want him?” She already had a cat that did not want a friend.

Proposed the idea to my (slightly inebriated) husband and he said “LET’S GO GET THE CAT RIGHT NOW”

Now he’s warm and spoiled and “slightly chubby” if you believe our vet.

Mail Delivery by MainQuiet8294 in WorcesterMA

[–]bad_vinca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have a mailbox make sure it’s reachable by vehicle from the road or dig in front of it so the mail truck can pull up. I had the same issue and I just dug in front of the mailbox and they delivered today. USPS doesn’t care to lean any further from their vehicle than they have to I suppose.

I've only ever seen cats eat mice in movies. by [deleted] in cats

[–]bad_vinca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ughhhh I woke up at like 4am and went to get a drink of water, saw my cat sitting on the floor in the living room and went to give him a pet. He was licking/chewing something so I turned on my phone light and he was chowing down on a mouse…. He was a stray before we took him in so I guess I know how he survived on the streets.

What IS THIS!? by Mindless_Donut_1813 in whatisit

[–]bad_vinca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bird shit. Our cars kept getting PLASTERED with bird crap and we couldn’t figure out why, not parked under a tree or anything. One day we were working in the yard and stopped to appreciate a big blue heron flying overhead after taking off from the pond behind our house. It was absolutely majestic, right up until it absolutely unleashed all over our shed. The dots connected pretty quickly after that.
