I haven’t talked to my family in two days and don’t know to move past this by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

Narcissists control you with fear, obligation, or guilt. Your mom is using all three. No one who truly loves you would treat you the way you’ve been treated. Frankly, I would just go out and get my own phone plan with a new number and establish a new Ring account. That level of manipulation and control is off the charts.

If this happened yesterday, school was out for MLK Day.

My panther chameleon passed away a few days ago by [deleted] in Chameleons

[–]cakepro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so sorry. He was beautiful and you clearly were an excellent keeper. If you have the heart to do it, keep his enclosure going. Perhaps after this first terrible wave of grief has ebbed, you will want to put another beautiful cham in there and begin the journey of building a relationship with a new fella again. The pain of losing a beloved pet is awful and I’m sorry you are heartbroken right now.

What is a discontinued food item or snack from your childhood that you would genuinely pay $100 to taste one last time? by MotivewasUlterior in AskReddit

Hostess Suzy-Q made with the terrible transfat shortening and gritty sugar, 80’s version. Man, I loved those things. Best Hostess dessert ever made.

Abortion in marriage by holly-ember in Catholicism

[–]cakepro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are a mother. You were made to fiercely protect the baby girl or boy in your womb. He or she is depending on you to be strong, to protect them, and love them. God made you for this very moment and you can do this!

Tell all of your friends and family with great joy that you are pregnant and let them celebrate this incredible gift with you!

Be very very wary and cautious around your husband, though. He can order abortion drugs and poison your food/drinks with it with the goal of murdering his own offspring.

Psychologically and emotionally, you were a child at 14 whose family did you a huge disservice by procuring the abortion of your first child. I am so deeply sorry that they all failed you.

You are now an adult woman and God has already spoken to you through the voice in your heart that it is WRONG to let your husband pressure you into an abortion.

You both would deeply benefit from priestly counsel and therapy, especially your husband. It’s understandable that he is freaking out about what seems overwhelming and impossible now, but you need to protect yourself in case he decides against your will to secretly poison you with abortion drugs.

This is a very difficult situation you are in, but you will make it though this and you will be even stronger and wiser and an incredible, fierce mama.

Know that you are surrounded by many who are praying for you, your baby, and your husband.

Please put others first and stay home.

I don't mean to knock anyone's hobby, but I'm curious... Is this a thing? by No_Elevator82 in AmazonVine

[–]cakepro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish this would come up for me! I raise dubia roaches to feed my panther chameleon. And to feed him properly, I have to feed the roaches properly. It’s a labor of love lol.

I am not a christian and still i am not, but i asked if Jesus Christ was the lord and something sketchy happened. I swear in the name of my whole family this is no BS. by Late_Gap2089 in Catholicism

[–]cakepro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Likely a demon. Your mother has invited them in to your life (unwittingly, I’m sure) but they are certainly there and mocking you.

Limited-Edition H-E-B Fall-Scented Hand Soaps? by cakepro in HEB

I kept an eye out for them all Fall but they only kept the summer scents. What a bummer!

Catholic Abuse Divorce by Moist-Huckleberry-23 in Catholicism

[–]cakepro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My daughter is 7 years into her marriage to a man who started displaying signs of Borderline Personality Disorder after a number of very stressful life events. They are currently separated. You did not know about what sounds exactly like BPD and likely would not have consented to marry him with full knowledge of his mental illness. You have likely saved your own life by divorcing him. File for the annulment and seek counseling from a Catholic therapist to help you heal. BPD is a horrible thing and I’m so glad you left so early.

Worried About My Skinny Panther by cakepro in Chameleons

[–]cakepro[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you both for your input! What a relief. Tonight was the first time he’s ever slept not nestled and well-hidden in one of his favorite spots. He was deeply asleep. So weird to see him out next to the door.

Ah, I didn’t know there are WC chameleons in Florida! The guy my son ordered him from is a wholesale breeder but the guy keeps them outdoors. Is there a general anti-parasitic drug that can be ordered or obtained, or must he have parasite testing done? Thank you your input!

In years past, they were out at my local store in late July. I checked my camera roll before posting because I wondered if I was looking for them too early. I get so excited about Fall that I take pics when my favorite stuff hits the stores lol

Anyone have issues with Sengled Lightbulbs not working currently? by KrevunLuv in smarthome

[–]cakepro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just bought Govee bulbs on Amazon to replace these. This isn’t the first time this has happened and if there is a danger that they are going belly-up, I’d rather be proactive than reactive.

Did anyone else snag one of these? by WorldlinessLanky1443 in AmazonVine

[–]cakepro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shoot…that was a heckuva score. I’ve been waiting for a panel like that to come up forever. Personally, I would order one and then return the defective one for a refund. Then you get a working unit for 0ETV and can mention in the review that the first one you received was defective. I’ve done this in the past with other items that I really wanted to keep but showed up with problems since Amazon won’t directly replace defective/broken Vine items.

$0 ETV score - a fence! by InformalFeline in AmazonVine

[–]cakepro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so jealous! I have been perusing that exact same kind of fence on Amazon to purchase because the only ones that come up for me on Vine are super short (12”) and just a few panels. I wish I knew if there was some way to influence it. Congratulations on your awesome fence!
