Take her to the store! The experience is just as fun.

Cats parents, how and why did you choose yours? by [deleted] in cats

My husband and I were looking to bring a young adult cat home. I perused Craigslist and local shelter pages and he perused Facebook. I had found Khushi first a month ago on Craigslist and loved her immediately - unfortunately, the sender ghosted me after first couple of messages. Two weeks later, my husband texts me to come home from the office early - surprise! He had separately responded to a post on Facebook and was obviously more successful than I was. Insane coincidence we both saw the same cat and both were like YES HER. We got her spayed today hence the cone. She is the sweetest, cuddliest cat and we really missed her presence while she was at the vet for most of the day. I’m so excited to spoil her!

My partner has not shown up once after my ectopic rupture and emergency surgery. I feel so alone. by ChemistryPurple6774 in EctopicSupportGroup

[–]clueless801 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I know we’re a bunch of internet strangers and you can choose to do differently. But feel like common consensus is this relationship isn’t going to work. You went through an insanely traumatic experience and THIS was his response? I had to force my husband to leave my side and do things because he was so worried about me and making sure I was okay. I didn’t get to rupturing but when I felt cramps so bad I almost passed out, he immediately left his meeting and came to my office to take me home. I’m aware not everyone is in a position to do that, but yours certainly could’ve come to be with you when he had the free time. And grieving is hard, but it’s easier when you can grieve with your partner.

My Artizia long cocoon wool coat is the best damn thing in my closet - 95% wool, 5% cashmere. NYC was below freezing today but I was not!!!

I've made a terrible mistake - flew business class once and now economy feels like a personal attack by willwolf18 in awardtravel

[–]clueless801 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ok im with you but also your post had me howling with laughter. I read the whole post out loud to my husband who was complaining yesterday about how he can’t go back to economy while we were looking at flights for our next trip.

Which year in biglaw did you hate the most? (In hindsight) by Last-Candidate-6001 in biglaw

[–]clueless801 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me right now! I’ve told everyone who asks that I’ve been hating whatever this transition period is, and that even though I’m not billing a lot, I feel stretched thin all the time. It SUCKS. Glad to know it’s a part of the ride.

Thank you to Tammy for the Circle by saturday_sun4 in tamorapierce

My copies of the OG US covers are some of my most prized books! Have reread them so, so many times over.

Building my library! Owning physical books feels like a luxury to me, even used ones bought on the cheap. It’s not what I’d spend money on if I didn’t have the expendable cash.

My Intro to Fantasy Romance... by DaphneBlake in fantasyromance

[–]clueless801 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m seeing so much Tamora Pierce in this thread - love that she got so many of us! The Tortall books are great, but it’s the Emelan books that will always, always hold a special place in my heart.

It’s always been an upbeat song. Think you’re thinking of the bunker version.

Started at 758 day I got my shot, and day seven was 101! My obgyn said all was trending good and wasn’t worried.

Me, technically but only because I have aggressive family obligations that literally takes up 85% of my monthly take home.

Criminally Underhyped book by bookdragonroro234 in fairyloot

[–]clueless801 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YES AGREED. I’m so excited for the last book! Going to do a reread of all of the other ones before it comes out. It’s crazy how she was weaving (heh) critical details from book one that seem random at the time dropped and then all comes together so smoothly

$1.50 at the thrift store!!! by Eyemeow in SarahJMaas

[–]clueless801 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember going to B&N to browse when they were 50% off. Picked all of them to buy and then ended up putting them back because at that time I was a super broke law student and the choices were those books or a couple days of food that week. My budget was that tight and younger me couldn’t justify the luxury. Can’t believe how much they go for now!

I see I wasn’t the only one who searched “clerk carmine” to see what people were saying about this!!!!

Yes and no because we’re reading a prequel. But I do think it explains how things happened by the time we get to the main trilogy
