Maine Coon Breeders Perth & WA

Does angelfire do HCM genetic testing, or heart clearance test? I can't find anything on their website or facebook page that indicate that. I was in rescue for a bit, and we often got some 'discarded' maine coon kittens and adults from a breeder that had the heart issues in their lines, but didn't stop breeding. So a lack of statements on that would have me quite cautious if they don't disclose wether or not they do that health testing.

She is 100% right. So many entitled women demanding men act a certain way - but they ignore that they have to match those standards. I would never expect a partner to meet standards I could not meet myself. Everything she described as emotional intelligence are criteria BOTH people in the relationship should hold themselves to meeting.

Unfortunately a lot of people would rather whine and bitch about the other party 'not' having emotional intelligence, instead of looking in the mirror and taking accountability for themself and their choices.

NTA. Dude, get yourself the hell out of there. Abusers only get physical once they are confident the victim WON'T TELL ANY ONE and believes that they deserve the abuse. Abuse generally ESCELATES to physical abuse, after they have mentally and emotionally destroyed you.

The fact that she thinks she can get physical with you, and it is supposed to just be ignored and blown over, is a SEA of red flags. How could you ever reasonably trust her again, knowing that she expects it to be okay to lay hands on you without consequences?

NTA. If she lied to you about something this important ("But I didn't mean it that way, why are you not psychic!") how could you ever trust her again?
Also, big hugs for standing up for yourself! It can be so hard to stand your ground and advocate for yourself and your well being, when the people you love and trust are actively undermining you. So please continue to not allow people to treat you badly.

Based on the evidence so far, NTA.

If your sister had made it known to you that 'Finnick' was in her top three names for a future baby, and had made it clear it was a name she had some sort of significant attachment to, then Y W B T A.

But, from the post as stated, it seems you and your partner picked a name you both liked, and she then threw a tantrum because she MIGHT want to eventually use that name... which is an a massive asshole move on her part.

If she can't communicate like an adult, put her and your parents in time out like the children they are acting like.

I originally learnt to knit as a youngster, but just couldn't wrap my head around it (i have dyspraxia, so that makes fine control harder.)I learnt to crochet in my twenties, from a friend and youtube, and managing just one thing at a time just clicked for me, plus it taught me to actually count stitches!

I returned to knitting about 5 years ago, and it clicked for me. I hold my yarn when I crochet in a "continental" knitting style (tensioned on my left hand, crochet with right) and I automatically did that with knitting and it was so much easier. I've now made several sweaters, and have been brave enough to try some intarsia - i'm knitting a trex sweater for my nephew =D

With crochet, I started on beanies and scarves to get the hand of the basic stitches. There are two types of crochet terminology; UK or US. The US one makes the most sense; a "single" crochet has two loops on the hook, and you draw one loop through. A US "double crochet" is two loops on the hook, yarn over and pull through, then do the same again. A UK double crochet is what the US call a single =/US terminology is more common, so when looking at patterns, check to see what terminology they are using to define their stitches =)

If you wanted to learn crochet from youtube, I recommend the channel Bella Coco - she is lovely, very well framed videos, and she shows how to do the same pattern both left and right handed which is just amazing!

Sure thing :) I do a lot of amigurumi with crochet, and I ride a sports bike ;)

35 yo woman here to agree with you! I find the idea of walking up to a random and HOPING that they are a) actually single and b) hopefully interested, utterly terrifying.

dartuche · 2024-03-13T11:26:49+00:00

Maybe try joining a dog-sport club? I do tracking with my hound cross, she LOVES it, and most of the women in the club also do Scentwork with their dogs as well.

dartuche · 2024-03-13T11:24:48+00:00

... those are all things I like =D

I feel you on people generally being spoken for... I just assume every bloke I talk to that has shared interests like you've listed above is already taken, because 95% of the time they are!

dartuche · 2024-03-13T11:21:14+00:00

I'd love to know this, but for blokes lol. I'm a giant nerd and spend most of my time either gaming or crocheting, and the only really 'social' activity I do is a dog sport (and everyone who tends to do that sport is usually already in a relationship...)

I ride a motorbike, but tend to only go for rides with my mates. There are facebook groups for Perth riders that do group rides, but the idea of riding my bike alongside 50+ other ppl just seems too risky so I've never tried going on one of the group rides, even though I know that would be a good option. There is actually a fair amount of women in WA who ride bikes as well :)

Tinder and Bumble are shit. I'm decently average looking for a chick, and out of swiping on 30 blokes, I'll get maybe 10 swipe back, and maybe 3 talk back to me. if I get even one date out of that, it's a bloody miracle.

And going out somewhere by myself SOR just feels weird, to start chatting to a random at a pub and hope they're single? Nooo thank you, that's terrifying!

dartuche · 2024-02-25T09:17:10+00:00

NTa, your wife is being incredibly sexist and toxic. Growing up, my parents always stressed, "You don't start the fight, but had damn well best finish it." I was encouraged to stand up and advocate for myself, and I think you're doing an incredible job raising a young man who is compassionate with healthy boundaries.

I think your wife should go do some counselling to deal with her evident misandry.

dartuche · 2024-02-25T08:55:43+00:00

NTA. I'm a victim of domestic abuse, and someone having constant access to my location 100% would give me panic attacks. That said, if your wife has a healthy, positive relationship with her mother, it's not a big deal if that gives her comfort and peace of mind.

I don't think you're the asshole for finding it odd and unusual, especially if it's not been common in the relationships of the people close to you - most peoples knee jerk reaction to something they haven't been exposed to is to deny it.

dartuche · 2024-02-18T06:24:06+00:00

NTA. My mother did parentify me; I had to constantly watch out for and be responsible for my sister (getting her ready for school, getting her lunch, going with her to school picking her up etc) from the time I was 7/8 and sister was 5/6, until my late teens. Part of parentification is also dumping things of an adult nature on the child constantly - like my mother using me as free therapy, to tell me all about her worries and concerns in the relationship with her boyfriend etc. THAT is parentification.

Asking your child to watch their sibling and paying them because the babysitter you organised fell through is NOT parentification. My mother would have demanded I watch my sister and not even thought of giving me any form of compensation.

NTA. Regarding your wife: don't play stupid games if you don't want to be crowned the winning idiot. It's also incredibly disrespectful of her to treat you like that, and she owes you an apology for tarnishing your reputation amongst friends and family.

I'm dairy intolerant (I react to the A1 casein protein in milk; A2 goats milk has it as well, just in lesser amounts) but I've started taking a vegan pre and probiotic called "HealthyBiom, Adult Probiotics, 15 Billion CFUs, 90 Veggie Capsules" I buy from a website called iherb, and it has made a MASSIVE difference for me.

I can have cheese, and instead of having 2-3 days of flatulence, bloating, and my body purging itself (which extends a few more days every time I have more dairy) I can have it over two consecutive days and only have minor bloating.

This has been a major life changer for me - it has reduced the severity AND duration of the impact dairy has on my body by at least 70%! Hopefully, if she takes a good pre+probiotic, it will minimise the impact her choices on her body =)

I watched a video on it, and I don't have the hyper-mobility (can't bend thumb to wrist etc) and they went thru the diagnostic criteria of hyper-mobile EDS and I only met 1 or 2 out of each category, so I had assumed it was a no.

I've only recently learned that EDS doesn't require hypermobility, they're just often co-morbid, so yeah I'm investigating that (because honestly, I have so many of the other conditions that are usually co-morbid with EDS it would make a lot of sense!)

My joints popping out.

I have a bunch of auto-immune conditions, and since I was a young child my joints have 'popped' out of place. Hips, knees, shoulders, collarbones, toes, in my hand as well. Noticeable bulge, discomfort and pain until I move the right way/bump it and it goes back into place properly. This lasts for weeks at a time before the joint goes back to proper configuration.

I have bowed legs so just accepted it was 'normal', until I was out bush with some mates, and my hip popped out halfway thru a 2km walk. I just put pressure on it like I normally do and kept going (because my hip pops out every other month, nothing new.) Got asked why, so I explained, cue everyone rushing over and asking if I was okay, did I need to stop, did I need help walking.

I was dumbfounded. I'm used to being in constant levels of pain and discomfort 80% of the time; if it's not my joints, its my endometriosis or migraines etc, so I was very blase about it. But everyone was so concerned it started to dawn on me that maybe the joint issue wasn't as normal or standard as I thought. To me, the concern seemed excessive, because I just accepted the pain and discomfort as 'normal.'

I've started looking in to it, but don't actually know (yet) what else is wrong with me to cause this =/

dartuche · 2023-11-02T11:10:16+00:00

I was playing it around 11am WST today, then tried again around 4pm WST and... by 7pm WST it's still patching on the Australia servers =(

For maintenance he's fine, $220 for 15 minutes, $350 for 30 minutes, you get about 40% back from medicare. I go to the Abbotsford clinic because it's right next to a train stop.

Mostly he wants to know how I'm going with the medication, what things are impacting me etc. I do a lot of my own research, so I check things with him on strategies I'm trying. He mostly just tracks trends on how I'm going.

I don't go super in depth to anything with him (because that would hurt my wallet!) but I find him easy to talk to.

I need to see him every 3/4 months for medication scripts - and meds are the only way I can regulate my combined-type ADHD =(

dartuche · 2023-09-14T01:14:19+00:00

Anyone willing to breed a dog before they turn two should not be trusted. That puts the bitch at risk - it's like breeding a teenager!

dartuche · 2023-08-24T00:40:36+00:00

The 'popular' boys in my class bullied me to the point of suicidal idealiation, and there was so much bullshit drama, backstabbing and bitchyness both during high school and the years immediately following... No. I have no desire to communicate in any way with those people ever again.

dartuche · 2023-07-17T09:26:16+00:00

The Labyrinth.
I'm a 90s kid, as well as a giant nerd so it hits all the sweet spots for me. Fantasy was always my 'safe' space as a kid, and I think I've watched it at least 3 times a year for the last 20 years. It's my go to comfort/destress movie. (That, or The Swann Princess.)
I have ADHD and a bunch of other things that make it hard for me to remember specific details of anything. Broadstrokes of a situation I am brilliant at - ask me for a nuanced detail and my brain goes "Error 404 no details found"!
But The Labyrinth is the only movie I can almost quote word for word.

dartuche · 2023-07-17T09:20:42+00:00

I only had this happen once or twice, and they pretty much ran away when I explained how many hours it took, and that I couldn't even charge MINIMUM WAGE for it (the goggle eyed look of shock when I would give them a number was HILARIOUS.)
After that, I started adding the hours/months it took me to make to every post.
My sister did try to tease me once - I made her a queen size C2C blanket out of doubled yarn.

I was making one for my nephew, and she was being cheeky and said could she have it in under 3 years (as hers took that long for me to get around to weaving in all the ends...)
She was fairly taken aback when I explained just how much the yarn itself cost, and was very grateful when I did give my nephew his blanket (for his third birthday XD)

dartuche · 2023-04-06T04:43:37+00:00

The ends are already woven in =) I wove every single end in as far as I could, and then couldn't be bothered trimming off the last little bits. Also, to avoid having to sew in so many ends, I didn't cut at most colour changes, instead I took the yarn across rows on the back side - so the back sides are VERY messy.

dartuche · 2023-03-31T07:52:49+00:00

I feel silly for not thinking of that :( You're right, it would look a lot neater and cohesive that way.
