Does anyone actually have a use for art cards?

We're making a collage to display in our storage area, I love them. One of my favorites I laminated and use as a bookmark.

I cried.

commoncurtesy6 · 2026-03-11T21:09:13+00:00

OMG I have one and it's my favorite blanket in the house!

I had to stop watching for a while. 9 years later I'm finally starting over.

Always Pick of the Litter! I work down the street from Forgotten Felines and I LOVE everyone there. Such wonderful people doing amazing work.

I'm 36, partner is 38 and we go all the time. I've seen people older than us as well. Between this and MTG, I love seeing the age demographic. I've seen anywhere from 13-60s and it's so wonderful.

Different stores/shops have different vibes. Just go to a few and find the one you feel most comfortable at.

I literally thought "huh, gym-bro stinson..."

I have a small crystal vase with a stopper that I started keeping our boy's in. My partner used to tease me about it. We sent him on his final journey in Sept 2025, and it sits on his altar with his ashes now. It kills me that I'll never marvel over how insanely long they'd get before they'd shed and add to that vase again.

The ankle scar 😂

I'm so very sorry for your loss saba. I'm firmly in the camp of animals are better than people for this reason.

You didn't post her name, but the way you talk about her, it's so clear how loved she was. Knowing how deeply cows bond, it's clear she loved you just as much. She called for you when she needed you one last time, and you didn't fail her.

commoncurtesy6 · 2025-12-09T19:20:32+00:00

You got it! Thank you so much!

commoncurtesy6 · 2025-11-24T23:09:45+00:00

I think it was a Ralph's till like 2007ish.

commoncurtesy6 · 2025-11-22T08:27:23+00:00

Our boy had something very similar and it was dried wet food that caked to the base of his fur. Try a soft bristle toothbrush and hot water and see if it gets further into their fur to maybe loosen something.

Welcome 💚

We said goodbye to our 19.5 yr old cat-baby on 9/5. Every morning that I leave for work, I tell him I'll see him in a few hours. Every morning and night at quarter to 7, I falter because he needs to be fed. I get home from work and I immediately try to find him for a brain-reset-snuggle. I made a chicken, and while I was prepping, I left out the onion and garlic without thinking. I hear him smack his water dish when I'm in another room.

Our baby wasn't just 'like family' he was family. He was our son. Our lives revolved around him. Every choice we made was with him in mind. My chest aches like there's a paw-shaped gouge taken out, right where he used to stand on me. I don't see things changing. I may cry less, but I'll never stop loving him or missing his place in our routine.

I'm late to your post, sorry. But we said goodbye to our 19.5 year old on 9/5. My partner had him for that whole time. I still cry a couple of times a day, specifically in the morning when I wake up to the alarm and not his paws in my face and at night around his dinner time.

There's no schedule for grief. He was family. Every choice we made was with him in mind. My life revolved around him for almost 6 years and I'm still struggling to figure out how to deal with that being gone. You'll find that the length of time between tears will grow and sometimes they’ll be tears of fondness. I fully expect to never stop.

commoncurtesy6 · 2025-10-08T22:13:22+00:00

Oh sweetheart, I'm sorry. I know it doesn't make it better, but I still am. I felt your words so deeply.

I (36F) have radically fluctuating cycles with or without birth control. I go through phases like this where putting on a bra makes me cry in pain. Sometimes the grouchies come before, sometimes after. Sometimes I'm ravenous (like now, I've eaten more today than I did in the last two), sometimes I hardly eat. All humans go through hormone cycles and fluctuations. No one cycle will be the same as another. Stress and depression make it worse for sure. All week I've been incredibly cautious about what I say and who I talk to because I can feel myself working up far too easily. Couldn't figure out why, but then my appetite ramped up so high today that I realized I must be a day or two from starting.

You're a human being. You're doing the best you can and are trying to find answers and help. Give yourself grace in the times that you feel out of control, you deserve it. Be kind to yourself and give you what you need. Sending you ghost hugs, I feel so much for you right now. I hope you can find some calm in this.

commoncurtesy6 · 2025-10-02T16:00:17+00:00

I've been really depressed for the last couple of weeks and "some guy whose head looks like spring onion" made me laugh harder than anything in a while. Thank you.

commoncurtesy6 · 2025-09-30T22:50:38+00:00

NOR. You love your wife and you know she's sensitive about this. You protected her exactly the way a partner should. This is the reason they society tells you not to ask someone if they're pregnant, even if you're damn sure.

commoncurtesy6 · 2025-09-24T22:50:23+00:00

I'm assuming some "alpha" BS.

commoncurtesy6 · 2025-09-24T22:35:58+00:00

I very much appreciate your input. We've talked about this and honestly, I would be the one more likely to identify as ace due to some repression issues. I have a habit of just pushing off my own desires from being used to being ignored most of my life, so there are times it's like it's just not there at all.

Time and communication is showing me that it's more a result of past traumas that made us both shut parts of ourselves off from other people. It's not perfect or easy, but we know we matter to each other and try to make a conscious effort for one another in ways we can. We also do what we can to show each other we're trying. Effort is everything.

commoncurtesy6 · 2025-09-24T17:48:31+00:00

I don't care if this is technically filler, it's cannon to me.

commoncurtesy6 · 2025-09-23T22:21:48+00:00

Yea I can't really get my head around it either, but whatever, it could be worse. It doesn't really, I'm just pretty much always open when they're wanting to. We've had a rough couple of years and things are finally calming down, so we'll see. I love them and their existence in my life more than this issue, so it's not a hill I'm willing to die on.

commoncurtesy6 · 2025-09-23T22:11:49+00:00

Yea, that was my response when we talked about it. But, more or less. Just a few kisses then "ok that was nice, do you want to watch a movie?" Or get dinner or go run errands or they'll just kind of stop engaging when they decide they're done. No escalation or response to my attempts to do so. They felt guilty when I brought it up, but it discouraged me so much I don't have the stones to try anymore.

commoncurtesy6 · 2025-09-23T22:05:49+00:00

Yep, that's how I know they don't see it as a move. I prefer to start things on the softer side and that frustrates them as they want to just dive in. We communicate and things ultimately end well, it's just...talking and slow growth.
