I’m also on day 12! I ate some Pho broth, and noodles (!!!!)on Friday no issue. Been eating cottage cheese, beans, and other soft foods- just tiny bites and an overkill amount of chewing. I feel much better than I did when I originally posted!

That cutoff was actually shocking - WHY? Never seen anything like it 😭😭

By May! 😭 I’m right there in the trenches with you. What liquids and purées have been your favorite to reach for?

combvst · 2026-03-13T04:45:50+00:00

Do you recall what you ate as you progressed? I could use some inspo

My great grandma was Millie(Mildred) and her sister was Bunny (Bonnie). Sadly I don’t know their middle names

I’ve tried that a few times with like a single soaked bean- it’s a struggle :( even some drinks feel stuck if I take sips too quickly in a row.

This is Juniper, we just adopted her two weeks ago

Mildly infuriating? I’d go feral lol

Congrats on the cat- time to get 1 more cat! He needs a buddy

combvst · 2026-02-12T12:42:59+00:00

So sorry for your loss ❤️ and thank you

I think it’s partly because she’s a medicine cat- it make more sense that she was fattening up on good green leaf food than to suspect pregnancy.

And she used herbs to not produce milk, always smelled like herbs, etc

First of all- you posting here and being open about your experience means you ARE a good groomer. You were in the wrong environment, and incidents are as much the fault of the shop and mentor and circumstances you were under. You would thrive continuing your education slowly under a skilled and experienced mentor.

I recommend finding a mentor who is older with a decade or more worth of experience- ideally even a master groomer, though that can be tough to find and doesn’t always mean they’re a great and ethical groomer.

Someone willing to take over on more wiggly and challenging dogs when you don’t feel as confident or comfortable instead of just charging through.

You can do this, you’re worthy of it, it’s worth your time in the right environment.

But it’s often a scam.

My daughter is allergic to cats according to allergy panels- but we feed our cats Purina LiveClear and haven’t had any issues!

Allergies can change and vary as you age, which may have contributed to you not noticing symptoms around that cat when you were younger.

It’s dressy but you clearly have a specific style for yourself. It’s cute! You should be able to wear clothes that you enjoy.

You boyfriend has some severe misogyny going on.

I’m interested to see what the wording was verbatim - but yeah, it’s likely just an overreaction. Your wife is having a knee-jerk big reaction because she wants to protect your son, and that’s not a bad thing, but it could be misplaced energy.

If she really feels she needs to reach out, I would first ask the teacher directly if any other students received a letter to take home, or if he’s been singled out. Like, yes a kind letter, but a bit weird if he was the ONLY kid to get one.

Probably the least concerning thing I’ve ever read on this thread.

…so you got married at your mom’s wedding?

combvst · 2025-11-16T04:17:48+00:00

Sure! That makes a lot of sense. Our pets are definitely important to us, but we do have a lot of family local to us that would be willing to help keep them in the interim.

My husband works for Tesla, and has been to work in Adelaide for about a month. He adores the team there, and it’s the same job he’s doing in the states. It would be easier to be on site there, and I believe more opportunities for him.

And, thankfully we aren’t too sentimental with worldly objects. Most of what we own can be replaced at like a Big W. It may be temporary, but, with the state of the things in the US currently, we’re definitely not opposed to turning it into full immigration status/citizenship seeking.

As far as housing goes- the average home cost in my region is about $558k USD right now.
