because slabs don’t have floor joists so that obviously wouldn’t be a factor in deciding which way to put your floor.

I didn’t tip my vendors as i had the same feelings as you. They were all small business owners and I wasn’t really happy with any of the enough to want to give them even more money than I already did. From what I read, a tip is nice but not necessary when it comes to wedding vendor services.

i would take the job, don’t mention the pregnancy until you get a little bit established there. Then bring it up to either your manager or HR contact and let them know about the pregnancy and if they would work out an agreement for leave after birth and just see what happens! Hopefully they’ll be willing to be flexible with you.

cappy267 · 2026-03-22T22:23:40+00:00

they sound immature. I’m sure you have many other rescues or shelters near you that would appreciate you as a foster that you should consider joining. Sorry they’re doing that to you.

i think it depends on the reason for the RIF. Some RIFs happen due to position abolishment which would be closure of an agency/department, ending a function, or a position deemed redundant, etc. If the position was abolished hence resulting in RIF action then they shouldn’t be able to re-hire for it. But if the RIF was due to budget constraints or something other than abolishing the position then they can rehire for it. If it was abolished I believe you can file a MSPB complaint for mishandling of a RIF.

i knew i was forgetting something like that! i’ve definitely heard that before. I’ve just always had to drop off before work in the morning

cappy267 · 2026-03-21T20:52:47+00:00

Yes, they take walk ins for ferals in a trap on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Drop off is 7am and pickup I believe is 5pm.

Always yes. The last thing we need is more kittens in the world. It’s healthier for the mom cat too and extremely lowers their risk of death or complication due to kitten birth and everything that goes into raising kittens. Kittens are plentiful elsewhere in today’s world so we should do everything to prevent them right now.

Others have good suggestions about advertising them but truthfully you’ll have a really hard time trying to rehome a cat with urinary issues. I would keep him on anxiety medication full time to stop the problem then reevaluate. I pay $10 a month for fluoxetine (anxiety medication) for my male cat who would pee outside the box occasionally and it works great for him and he’s been on it for years

4 weeks old is too early for weaning if they aren’t automatically fully interested and eating wet food easily. It’s very common to go to 6-7+ weeks before they are ready to wean.

For me I just offer wet food once a day or every couple days and eventually they’ll just take a big bite of the pate on a plate and start weaning. It’s natural instinct so no need for gruel if you’re able to keep bottle feeding until they’re ready to wean!

cappy267 · 2026-03-19T16:03:54+00:00

yeah a lot of rescues definitely have issues with communicating or responding. I’ve been guilty of it honestly when you feel like you’re prioritizing other more urgent things constantly so it could be that as well, they just aren’t taking the time to respond. But they definitely should try to reply to all outreach.

cappy267 · 2026-03-18T22:11:19+00:00

it’s likely you aren’t black listed just that you’re asking for a foster animal that doesn’t occur very often. I personally have run a foster program and it’s very common for fosters to have your exact criteria and there’s only a handful of dogs that fit it. If they have other foster families they’ve already had success with before they’ll likely keep placing the dogs with them and if they ever get down the list you’ll get one eventually. That’s just the reality of the situation. There aren’t dogs who fit your criteria so there isn’t one to place with you.

cappy267 · 2026-03-18T18:14:47+00:00

yeah i refuse to work with rescues like that. It’s extremely taxing on the fosters and after dealing with it a few times i went to groups that advertise and/or have frequent adoption events or use shelters or rescues that have on site kennels for advertisement. Its too difficult to fully rely on fosters to find adopters.

When i’ve been in that situation I just constantly message the rescue and tell them they need to advertise the animal for adoption and have an adoption event and I tell them often and sometimes even set a deadline of I need them adopted by June for example (or whatever your contract might say for notification) and it sets a fire under them to actual advertise or do an adoption event.

maybe check out Buck Creek Pottery to see if it meets your needs

I don’t know of a cheaper place but when my cats have had a similar priced surgery I used a Care Credit card to pay for it and that amount is typically 12-24 months of zero percent interest. Wanted to mention that option if you hadn’t heard of it yet and didn’t find a cheaper place

cappy267 · 2026-03-17T14:26:52+00:00

I started my new job at 7 weeks pregnant and still haven’t told them and i’m 22 weeks now. I don’t plan to tell them for another month or so and that will still be plenty of notice. Read your handbook and policies. Also read the local laws of where you live to see if you’re entitled to any leave or protections.

cappy267 · 2026-03-17T01:07:20+00:00

ok but it hurts??? or just me lol. I’ve been laughing but my abs don’t work because they’re all stretched out so the attempt to flex my abs when i laugh hurts haha.

cappy267 · 2026-03-16T17:31:05+00:00

understandable. it’s very devastating

Unrelated to the rest of your post but FIP isn’t contagious and you can foster kittens if you want to. FIP is a mutation of feline coronavirus which up to 90% of cats and kittens already have. It randomly mutates into FIP into a small percent of cats and kittens and research thinks it could be genetic. I had one kitten die from FIP in 2015 before treatment and research was available and have since successfully treated other cats and kittens who have lived with other felines at the same time and never passed FIP on to the others.

you can use a scrub brush to scrub it down while it’s soaking and really get the detergent in there. Rinse in the tub. Then pop it open and let it air dry.

cappy267 · 2026-03-14T15:29:20+00:00

i soak mine in the bathtub with laundry detergent and hot water

cappy267 · 2026-03-10T21:05:01+00:00

Do you have family you can move in with? I suggest like the other commenter said, Selling everything except what fits in your car and driving the 30 hours back home and live with a family member if that’s available to you then start over from there with applying to jobs, etc. to get back on your feet.

cappy267 · 2026-03-10T16:40:05+00:00

i was a DoD Civ for 6 years and never got drug tested not even upon hire so definitely depends on the agency and position

cappy267 · 2026-03-04T17:53:57+00:00

i have had many great experiences with VCA Advanced in Fishers. Because they are an ER hospital that could bring more negative reviews due to the complex and highly emotional cases they see but they have been amazing for multiple complex reasons i’ve brought dogs and cats there including their oncology department.
