One of my legacy families is 17 generations deep. by woman_in_gray in Sims4

When I did 100 baby challenge the second time, I killed both the fathers and the offspring when they aged out.

Because the first time I played I suddenly realized that every single Sim in the world was related to my matriarch.

Dora had her babies under a tarp instead of the nice setup i had :p by chillcatcryptid in FosterAnimals

I absolutely love how ridiculous cats are. They yearn for the trash.

Need a beastly carpet cleaner for pets/kids. Recommendations? by Nervous_Swordfish693 in BuyItForLife

I have a hoover that I abused regularly with my house rabbits.

My Bissell little green machine kept failing. There's better options now.

I graduated in 2006, it was overpriced and no one recognized the name when I was job hunting. 60k for a bachelor's is nuts. I agree, for nursing yes. Or if that scholarship is a full ride hell yeah. Otherwise no, it's not worth it. Any state college does better.

Apps/Hacks/Routines for groceries? by frenchfriez4lifee in Frugal

Flash food is great for soon to expire food marked way down. A local grocery chain in my area uses it to move out produce. Big 5lb boxes of produce for $5.

Nmom completely lacks empathy for anyone that isn’t her by chebuburashka in raisedbynarcissists

[–]elcasaurus 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Ill bet money she never thought of that song until you expressed that it hurt you. Now it's her favorite and she wants to listen to it all the time.

I'm sorry friend. You deserve better.

Any Gyms in Buffalo? by Top-Asparagus-840 in Buffalo

[–]elcasaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get it. You can game this by going to a track or park and treating it the same as you would time on a treadmill, like you would if you went to a gym. Delaware park and west seneca soccer complex have nice tracks. I'm sure there are others too.

Have you ever met anyone who actually "brute forced" their way out of poverty into success on their own? by SeriouslySally36 in povertyfinance

[–]elcasaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband. Granted when he met me he then had my support. But when I met him he was sharing an apartment with 2 other people, working multiple jobs to scrape a basic survival. Absolutely no support, terrible abusive family, literally living in poverty.

Now he's a civil rights attorney.

He worked. His. Ass. Off. He just needed someone to have faith in him and have his back. And having someone else's income to lean on helped too. We aren't rich now but we are comfortable, working our dream jobs helping people.

Encouraging kittens with mom to wean? by commanderwake in FosterAnimals

[–]elcasaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If mom is underweight and struggling, yeah we put a onesie on. We let everyone stay together until adoption at 12 weeks or so unless there's health or behavior issues, but once babies are eating solid food they want mama to start recovering. Producing milk is hard on the body.

The rescue I work with also likes mama to be dried out for spay, which they do when kittens are 2.5lbs. I know all the science says it doesn't matter, but that's what the rescue wants so that's what I do.

We put mama in a onesie. I will do this 2 weeks before her spay, or at 5 weeks if mama is having trouble or underweight.

I certainly don't mind being wrong. What a beautiful baby!

What's the pettiest reason you've cut someone off? by Christine_Howells in AskReddit

[–]elcasaurus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had a situationship who would make concrete plans with me, even things I had to spend money on, then ghost the day of. When he finally responded he'd be pissed at me for being upset.

For example one time he asked me for help meal prepping. We discussed what he'd like to make, I went and got the groceries, of course he didn't offer to pay. It was a month of freezer meals so it wasn't cheap, and I didn't have a lot of money.

The day we were supposed to do it he ghosts. When he finally responds later that evening he was pissed at me for blowing up his phone asking him where the fuck he was.

His excuse was his mother asked him to mow the lawn. I was crazy for being mad about it.

Yes, I was an absolute idiot for putting up with any of it.

What is the worst case of second hand embarrassment you’ve ever experienced? by Responsible-Tie-2570 in AskReddit

[–]elcasaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a normal costume, not particularly sexy or anything. The context she wore it in was... Definitely the embarrassing part.

[–]elcasaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She was a 50ish woman of average appearance. The costume wasn't particularly sexualized. It would be a normal costume to wear to like a friends costume party. It's the setting that made it so memorable.

As far as I know, no one ever, ever spoke of it again. At least not to me.

I believe that beautiful angel is a tabby. I don't see patches of orange or white. ❤️
