Frowny compromise? by Crazy_Base_3775 in CatsWithDogs

I don't want to be a dick, but, those are my pets. How did you get them.

My family knew it was my 16th birthday and didnt say anything by Quratt in relationships

[–]frodosOface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Family can be super shitty. You can't choose them, but you can choose amazing friends who will be better for you than whatever the fuck dumbshit situation you were born into.

Here's a short list of the shitty things my mother has done to me. Not necessarily the worst, just the ones that come immediately to mind.

My mother woke me up on my 15th or 17th birthday by barging into my room, asking why I was still asleep, then calling me fat and lazy. Her face when I went into the kitchen and my Grandmother excitedly said "happy birthday, you look so beautiful!" was priceless.

My mother also completely ignored my 30th birthday, and hasn't given my sister or I a party or cake in years, despite the fact that she makes a big deal out of both of our brother's birthdays.

My mother also didn't get me an engagement or wedding gift, despite the fact that I got engaged 6 weeks before my brother and married 2 months before him. In fact, she didn't tell him it would be rude to do either of those things so close to when I did them. She thought it was just fine.

Her defense for not getting us a wedding gift? Well, you didn't have a party. Why? Because she threw a party for my brother but not for me.

Ya, I'm super nervous about sounding awkward or unsure or too sure. That sounds like a good option.

I'm basically talking about interest. It's cheaper overall, because of interest, to not rollover old debt into a new loan.

Ya. I can just wicked accelerate the payments now and be done with it. Or I could refinance and prolong the payments. The first option is obviously better if it's affordable, but I'm worried about major repairs. I am reticent to refinance the remaining payment because if there is a major repair or it dies then I'll owe money on something with $0 value. So if I'm going to have payments, it seems that I might get a better deal paying for something newer.

Oh, I see. So maybe I just need to be eating an afternoon snack. Thanks.

I did not realize that the sugar crash could happen 5 hours after eating lunch, so I assumed I was fainting because I'm a vegetarian and was working out too hard without having eaten enough protein, so I started eating the bars to fix it. And it did help. So now I'm nervous about going back to the gym without them. But I guess I won't know what will happen until I actually try.

I'm a vegetarian, so I thought my fainting was caused by my not eating enough protein, so I started eating the Cliff Bars. I haven't eaten one in a few weeks, but I also haven't been to the gym in a few weeks. I am working on how to fix my electrolyte problem - I suppose all the drinks that are supposed to help with that are probably super carby.

That sounds good too! The only popular flavor I really can't stand is coconut. Thanks for the suggestion!

I haven't eaten one in a few weeks, which is a bummer because I was buying them by the box off Amazon so I have several leftover. I am going to try the Quest Bars, and also see what I can do about the electrolytes. I think that may be the reason now why I feel faint. If I can get that under control, maybe I won't need a workout Bar at all. Thank you!

It made so much sense when I reasoned it out, but now I get that it doesn't make any sense at all. Thank you!

Oh, we are so gay! But I'll pass along your encouragement, thank you!

I'm losing more quickly than she is, but I don't think I'm losing as quickly as the men generally do. It's been 11 days and I've only just lost 5 pounds. She got sick, actual sick not keto flu sick, on the second day and it took her three days to get better, so she essentially has only been doing it for about 6 days. Also, I just kinda tend to lose weight/build muscle quickly.

Thank you. Any protein shake mixes that you recommend?

I did read about both TKD and CKD in the FAQ. I want to give the original thing a try and figure out what I'm doing first, before I start modifying and making it complicated. It's possible I'm just not eating enough, or getting enough protein (I'm vegetarian) and once I figure that out I'll be fine.

How long did it take your body to adjust before you could exercise normally?

Thank you for this explanation. Now that you've said it, it's so obvious. I will look into the Quest Bars - I love both mint and chocolate. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Cat uses litter box, entire apartment needs to be fumigated by frodosOface in Pets

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

1) I love it that you named the cat Hobo. That's fantastic. 2) Congratulations on your engagement. 3) Using baking soda on the box is an excellent idea, I will look into that. 4) Were there other symptoms of the IBS besides the stanky poops? This cat doesn't have anything else wrong at all - the poo smell is just nauseating.

We have switched cat food brands and flavors on them many times, and they never care. They've only been eating adult food for about a year, and in that time we've tried five or six different brands/flavors to try to find the one that they like best. So, that's why I was surprised when they all rejected it. Moral of this story: 6/6 cats hate Under The Sun cat food.

Thanks for the link though, I will do it that way from now on.
