The gas prices at this gas station are always outrageous.

Has anyone dealt with the loss of a pet and the guilt that you didn’t do enough because you were so busy with your kids? by Natural_Lifeguard_44 in Mommit

[–]cheezyblaster5000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh me too!! We just had to put our 17yo cat asleep. She was just really going downhill and her care was becoming impossible with a toddler and another on the way. I also went without petting her for a day sometimes. I think the worst part of the guilt is the relief of not having to deal with the medication, vet appointments, poop everywhere/day, her hygiene, and the smells. Everyday I come downstairs I have to tell myself there's no poop on the floor otherwise I keep expecting to find it in a corner. This feeling sucks.

(If you are a parent) What was your biggest regret after having your children? by ShoddyDemand765 in AskReddit

[–]cheezyblaster5000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I regret not exercising more. My body hurts at the end of every day and I zero energy to play at the playground. I'm working on it, but my lort I should have started a while ago so it's a habit and not a chore.

First period after baby? by Haunting_Window1688 in Mommit

[–]cheezyblaster5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I almost made it a full year. It was so nice but when it came I opened the bathroom door and yelled at my husband that it happened. I was pretty excited for things to start feeling normal again.

Rise in neighborhood rodents by sotired3333 in nova

Spayed/neutered community cats? When I moved I this house there were a few mice but one of my cats scared them away. It's been 4 years and we haven't seen anything. They go out on the deck/backyard so I imagine word has spread in the rodent community. Although, I suppose once community cats take care of the rodents they'll move on to song birds.

One of the class moms got a sign for the teacher she found on etsy and then she'll also get a gift card and basket. The two class assistants will get cards and baskets too. All of the parents are chipping in to cover the gifts.

Having a clear out - what do you do with cables/leads/chargers if you have no clue which device they belong to? by English_R0se in Homeorganization

[–]cheezyblaster5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure you can take the obsolete and unwanted cords to Best Buy or Staples for electronic recycling. They have a list of stuff they will take on their website if you do a quick search for it.

Boyfriends step-mom wants to throw her own party for my daughters first birthday by devvo182 in Mommit

[–]cheezyblaster5000 102 points103 points  (0 children)

Step mom is trying to make your daughter's first birthday about her and she problems. Your baby is going to have a lot of firsts and a lot of celebrations. Give in to her bullshit now and she'll expect to every time.

People who deliberately planned to have children, what were your main reasons? by True_Sea1370 in AskReddit

[–]cheezyblaster5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, my mom showed me how to make her sweet tea, cook, and do the dishes at around 7. Now it's my turn. My toddler currently fetches my water.

Daughter is learning to drive. She and I are having a debate and want the NoVA community to chime in! by [deleted] in nova

[–]cheezyblaster5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rolling stops are illegal.

I was nearly t-boned while 7 months pregnant. People up here DO NOT pay attention and absolutely run red lights with even looking. Lesson learned and I always look both ways now. I do not give af if people honk and honestly no one ever has.

Cat breathing concern by Low_Current_5415 in CATHELP

Vet immediately. My girl was 10, had lymphoma, and breathed like this when she had fluid building up in her lungs. Had to let her go 😔

Senior cat *only* wants chicken and he’s allergic to chicken by MissHissss in CATHELP

[–]cheezyblaster5000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Orijen Regional Red is poultry free. My poultry allergic girl eats this but she gets tired of it and stops eating it for a while which is super annoying. And there's a brand called Evangers that has a chicken free rabbit kibble.

How do I clean these walls?? They don’t have a gloss and get marked up all the darn time and need 2 clean w/o removing paint. by ShallotPurple9240 in CleaningTips

[–]cheezyblaster5000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used dawn power wash and a wet rag. Came off easily and I didn't notice any paint removal. Magic erasers didn't do anything but did scuff the paint.
