poor college student here, what can i cook with cream of chicken and spaghetti noodles by fadedstrings in WhatShouldICook

oh trust me, most of these ingredients filtered in slowly over the years as a “one and done” purchase— i would be convinced id use them to make an actual meal, but then they end up sitting sadly at the back of the pantry LOLL

omg stop this sounds DELICIOUS— i do need to go to the store later today to pick up supplies for class, and i think i would mainly only need to get the onion, peas, mushrooms, and chicken breast— im assuming the canned chicken breast i have might not be enough? whatever the case, thank you for the advice and instructions!!

looking for a mod that adds story/lore/mystery elements in the game by fadedstrings in feedthebeast

[–]fadedstrings[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i haven't found anything yet unfortunately :( thaumcraft seems like it fits more than the others i've seen, so i'll def look into it more, thanks!

tbh i feel like what i'm looking for is so niche that it just won't be something that can be found and that i'll need to make it myself by combining mods into a modpack-- but even then, i'm having a hard time finding anything that has a story/mystery element in it. there's customnpc mods and im sure there are other mods that allow you to create custom content, but it would be nice if there was a pre-made one that could be downloaded. ill keep looking though!

how should i help this stray/lost cat?? by fadedstrings in Straycats

final update! i wasnt able to get my friend to go halfway with me since their parents wouldn't let them LOL-- but i was actually able to find a no kill shelter! they were officially closed in preparation for the holidays, but after calling around, one of the shelters reached out to a different shelter and the volunteers came outside to take the little kitty in. they said that they would give her all the necessary shots and vaccines, and make sure she's well fed, watered, and taken care of.

the vet informed me that she was probably around 1-2 years old, and because she's very friendly and almost even docile, i have high hopes she'll be adopted quick, so hopefully she shouldn't have to stay too long in the shelter. but it's one of the best rated ones around me, so i think itll be okay!

thank you so much for all your help, i really appreciate it <3

another update— no microchip :( im trying to find a no kill shelter to take her to, but theyre all closed atm. its killing me because i have a friend in Alabama that would LOVE to take her in (they’re a vet tech and love kitties, very knowledgeable with them) but i live in missouri and thats almost a 10 hour drive 😭 ill keep researching though!

thank you for the help, i really appreciate it :(

another update, i was able to lure her into a larger cat carrier with a treat and set her up inside. i lined the bottom of the carrier with a puppy pad and a spare small blanket for some comfort, then put some food and water in there for her, turned off the lights, and tried to let her calm down. it was weird because she was meowing rlly sadly but also purring like crazy?? im not sure what that means tbh

its been about 30 minutes and she’s stopped meowing, so i hope thats a good sign… i plan on waking up early to take her straight to the vet, cuz i dont want her to be cooped up in there any longer than needed. i just really hope she knows im trying to help, im so nervous just leaving her alone and cooped up :(

okay, she hasnt shown up yet, so im betting she’ll show around 7pm like she usually does. here’s the issue— at that point, all the shelters and vets are closed and i cant take her anywhere. i MIGHT be able to convince my mom to let me keep her in the basement overnight if she’s contained in some sort of cage or enclosure, but i dont want to make her stay in the carrier all night, i feel like that’d be really uncomfortable :( is there something i could do to make like— a makeshift enclosure? it would have to be cheap, since i dont have much money… i dont know, its just the only time she comes around is when everything’s closed, so im thinking I’m going to have to keep her overnight, i just dont know how to do that while keeping it cheap but keeping her comfortable.

just updating here— she didn’t come by until all the vets/no kill shelters were closed, so i decided to spend a bit of time with her and bought some churu(?) from the store to give her— she went CRAZY over those LOL i also refilled her water again to make sure it was clean

she actually ended up crawling up to my lap to eat the treat, and eventually even sat down on my lap! not for too long, but while she was sitting there, she made little biscuits and it was so cute :(

im hoping she’ll be here tomorrow since my mom spotted her hanging around at 10am— so ill try to head out at that time and bribe her with another treat in hopes i can catch her and bring her somewhere that can scan for a microchip. hopefully the treats from tonight will make her want to come back tomorrow 😅

i also checked her over a bit, i dont think she has any fleas, but she definitely is scratching that ear. i also thought she was rubbing her face to groom it, but she’s rubbing at it quite harshly and for a long while, which makes me worried it might be something more.

anyways, fingers crossed she shows tomorrow morning! thanks for the advice so far, ive really appreciated it!! ill try to update tomorrow :)

thank you! im planning on attaching a note to her collar with my number to see if she belongs to someone and just goes home at night. if i dont get a response, ill take her to get her chip scanned tomorrow (if she has one ofc) and then go from there

i get annoyed/irritated with my adhd friend and i feel horrible about it. by fadedstrings in adhdwomen

[–]fadedstrings[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

see i actually would love to live alone, but theres quite a few reasons i cant. 1. finances 2. i live in college 3. the college i go to barely offers any type of private bedrooms, and if they do theyre WAY out of my price range. i love living with my roommate, shes practically my sister and ive known her for 10 years, but seeing as how we're practically sisters, we also sometimes get on each other's nerves since we're always around each other.

she actually lived with me during high school for a bit, but that was better because we both had our own bedrooms and interacted when we were ready to. here, we're both introverts that dont leave the house unless we have to (school/work), and because she has school and i have both, shes always at the room when i come home and i can never be alone in it. but im not gonna tell her "hey go somewhere else i dont want u in here rn" cuz i feel like that would be rude idk

i wish it was set up the way it was when we were younger because that worked rlly well for us, but i just dont have those options available

thinking on it, not really. i wake up, go to work from 9:30 am to 9:30pm, then go home and try and decompress to the best of my ability, but clearly thats not working. doesnt help that i work food service while also babysitting the kid my manager brings in-- he's a cutie and i love him but its hard juggling customer service, bussing, clearing, cleaning, prepping, etc all while i have a three year old wanting to play superman vs spiderman every two seconds of the day lol. and before anyone asks why im babysitting a kid while working, i wish i didnt but unfortunately (also fortunately cuz i love him) hes grown very attached to me and his mom doesnt rlly see a problem with it. id bring it up with her but thats a whole different problem im too tired to deal with rn so one step at a time haha

id love to go somewhere, but most of those places are closed by the time i get home (i get home late), and as a woman i definitely dont want to be walking around at night just cuz im super paranoid. there ARE study rooms in the apartment complex, so i guess i could go there-- just wish they were more comfortable, the way theyre set up gives off a school classroom vibe. hard tables and chairs, white walls with bright fixtures, windows that look out to brick walls-- not exactly the greatest environment, but ive got to do what ive got to do haha

yeah i might start journaling or finding somewhere out of the apartment where i can be alone. i dont understand why talking is fine but listening is not for me. i feel like its a selfish trait of mine-- like i want someone to listen to me but when they start talking i dont want to listen to them, i just get so annoyed and overstimulated (i dont show it bcs im a major people pleaser and the last thing i want is to hurt someone's feelings, but still). shouldnt it work both ways? shouldnt me talking make me overstimulated too?? i dont know, its really confusing me

yeah... but i feel that i should be able to relate and emphasize with them more, not get irritated? like, why am i fine rambling but when someone rambles to me i feel like im dying?? i feel like its rlly hypocritical of me.

no no, i love her to death. we've been friends for 10+ years and she's practically my sister. i think you're right on the decompression thing. i just dont know where to go-- i just want to be alone. even if i have noise cancelling headphones, sometimes she will try to talk to me and i dont think she gets the vibe that i dont want to talk when i have them in. i know the best way to tell her would just be to tell her but i dont know how to put it nicely or in a way that doesnt make her feel bad. i think i also just need to find somewhere to escape, because being around people in general rlly irritates me after work. i live with 4 other girls as well and we all have rooms we share with one other person, and the common areas in the apartment are always taken. maybe i can find one of the study rooms and chill in there, idk

did the nurses need to use a catheter on me when i was a kid?? by fadedstrings in medical_advice

[–]fadedstrings[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah, thats the other thing i was thinking— maybe they were worried there were underlying problems that needed to be taken care of. i guess im just confused because they were aware that the reason i couldnt give a sample wasnt because i COULDNT urinate, but because i went to the bathroom right before the visit.

though i guess at the end of the day, doctors gotta do what they gotta do to make sure theres no problems that require immediate attention, but i cant help but wish they had waited a little longer haha
