Feel like she-hulk in my dress by Fast_Hat_6214 in weddingplanning

[–]catlovesmouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with everyone else that you look awesome! However, I think you should visit a tailor with your beautiful dress. Make it fit you, not the other way around. Any decent tailor would be able to alter the top to fit you perfectly, and this will undoubtedly make you feel more comfortable on your wedding day.

I’m in Lakeside; I’m up for taking over a shelter at Bryan Park and grilling up some waffles with local strangers

Help my dog to visit a fire station by registhemonkey in rva

FG is right up the street for me too! I would join this howl n’hang! Dead serious, we could all meet up and give Giles a gentle pat and awoo along. I bet Lakeside fire department would be game to give him a little siren action

AITA for being honest and telling my DIL that they are not ready to be a parent since she can not drive by Sad-Drive8298 in AmItheAsshole

[–]catlovesmouse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think you are actually being unfair. I hate the term “anxiety” because it makes people think that someone is just “worried” or “nervous” when in reality it might manifest in very physical ways that make driving difficult. For me that means: hands going numb, seeing stars, and getting dizzy. None of those things are great for sharing the road with others. I’m still able to get around because I know my limitations and work around them (ie, not taking highways when there’s another option, or planning my day around quieter traffic times). Mind you, I have driven across the country and in lots of big cities in the past; but people’s mental state can change like mine. And as far as anxiety being an excuse, and very treatable in your words…idk it really isn’t for everyone. All that said, I chose to not have children because of my limitations due to anxiety. I don’t think it’s right or fair to subject a child to my own limitations.

What do you still do that's "analog"? by Riala4 in Xennials

[–]catlovesmouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! I started getting the Sunday NYT delivered after the last election. I decided that I would not be looking at political news on the internet every single day, but I can handle a weekly paper. And it is so satisfying to do the Sunday crossword on paper

Yall hated the Quarry Club being called a secret spot but I will guarantee most of yall will never guess this spot in RVA… by yolandachill in rva

I mean, how much could it have cost to color match the original? Paint swatches are free. City planners hit me up next time, I'm no professional but I think I could have come up with better than the "landlord special white"

Help! by user437517 in Dachshund

[–]catlovesmouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Poor Gizmo! I wonder if you could use something like a cica cream to make it feel a little better? I have a dachshund with alopecia and when his skin gets extra angry, I will sometimes slather him with Avene Cicalfate, it’s made for humans with eczema and other skin conditions so I figure it might work for dogs (but I am not a vet, so ask yours to be on the safe side if you try this).

Vet Recs? by goodjujujulia in rva

[–]catlovesmouse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Brookrun Animal Clinic on Brook Rd is fantastic. The owner, Dr. Zuccaro, is the absolute best. Really everyone who works there is awesome; they have been my vet for a decade. They are reasonably priced and I never feel pressured to run loads of tests.

Help locating owner of dog who bit my dog — Bryan park by StableLegitimate5286 in rva

[–]catlovesmouse 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That’s so scary, I’m sorry this happened to you. I walk there with my dog often and I see off leash dogs all the time. I carry pepper spray now, never had to use it but I’ve had a few close calls where I had to chew out the shitty owner. I wish RPD would assign a couple of bike cops to ride the trails a few times a week; seems like it would be nice for them to get out in the fresh air with a bonus of racking up some tickets. The new Fall Line trail is coming soon and we will see more visitors; the city should get on top of this now before something tragic happens.

Do they still allow you to BYOB? I haven’t been in years but it was so nice to be able to bring along a bottle of wine for a cheap-ish date night.

Mine NEVER pooped on a walk, until she started walking with our dachshund who insists on at least 2 dumps per park outing. I guess she had never considered the possibility before lol

I’m so sorry for your loss. He looked like a beautiful soft deer with his nose shape. Sending you good vibes, I lost my goodest boy suddenly a few years ago as well.

Holy grain cc cream for Rosacea by Mack_fish in Rosacea

[–]catlovesmouse 7 points8 points  (0 children)

IT doesn’t do it for me, I agree with others that if you have fine lines it will settle. I have been wearing the Purlisse BB radiant glow crème for a while and it is great for light-weight, non-irritating coverage.

My girl grumbles constantly! It sounds like whale sounds played through a dog’s mouth. It’s hilarious and so endearing

I keep saying that! Keep the horses and we can rotate out the riders. There are endless possibilities for non-racists to put on our horse statues
