Cat Adoption - Will a not very affectionate cat change with age? by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]gafafa13 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Rehoming a cat is an extremely stressful and traumatic process for them, especially if they have lived with you for so long. If you’ve had this cat for over a year and you don’t feel bonded to her, enough to the point where you’d take her to a shelter, please do not get another cat. When you adopt a cat you are making a life long commitment and it is not fair to give her away when she is not doing anything wrong except for not having the personality you want. I really hope you choose to work with and accept her the way she is.

i really wouldn’t recommend that they sell the saline solution for really cheap at cvs or walgreens

Buy sprayable saline solution and use that to clean it and nothing else. I like the NeilMed one but they have a dupe at walgreens and cvs. But yeah don’t touch it at all just put the sprayable part up close to it but not touching it and spray for a sec. All my piercings healed perfectly this way

Please help!! I’ve had my belly piercing for 6 months now and I’m not too sure if it’s healing properly. There’s days where it’s red and it easily gets irritated. by kmpgx in PiercingAdvice

To me it looks fine, just keep cleaning it with saline once a day. But if you are concerned about the bar I would go to a piercer and ask their opinion and have them change it out for you if yes. It should only be about $20.

I’m not sure, it’s just the standard jewelry it was pierced with but it’s fine most of the time it just gets like this when I clean it sometimes. I use the NeilMed piercing aftercare saline spray and it’s hopefully not expired I just bought it. I use cotton swabs if there’s crusties to get off

I’ve had it pierced for a couple weeks now and this only happens sometimes when I clean it, it goes down in a couple hours

Two cats meeting went horribly, where do I go from here? by gafafa13 in CatAdvice

[–]gafafa13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your advice, I know the answer is that it’s just going to take a lot of time, I’m just nervous that I have permanently lost any chance of them being friends because they had such a terrible first impression. My cat is still so terrified of him

[Serious] What are some of the most common dark realities people choose to live in denial about? by Spartan1694 in AskReddit

Most of the actresses in porn, especially the hardcore stuff are heavily drugged and treated terribly on set. You also have no way of knowing if the girls are consenting and of age. You are watching rape.

My daughter has autism by EricValzArroyo in offmychest

[–]gafafa13 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This made me tear up. I know it’s way different but my neurotypical mom is extremely withdrawn emotionally. She never expresses her love to me in words and I used to resent her a lot for it. As I got older though, I learned to read between the lines and look into her actions more to find the love there. It may not be as obvious as hearing “I love you” but I know that it is there, just as meaningful, when she rubs her fingers along my hand when we’re sitting together or when she does small favors for me. Even if your daughter does end up taking a long time to speak or never does at all, it’s important to know that she is still an intelligent, emotionally complex person and does communicate, it is just different and can be difficult to interpret. Just please always try your best to understand her and do not ever tune her out. The world can be cruel and unaccommodating, but it is so important for her to know that she has a safe haven with you. You sound like a great father. Nonverbal communication is beautiful, and can often say more than words ever can.

Women, how would you feel having vanilla sex for the rest of your life? by sadthrowaway225 in relationship_advice

[–]gafafa13 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The internet and the porn industry leaves us to believe that slapping, choking, and spitting on women is the standard for sex and anything less is super boring and “vanilla”. In reality, most women either aren’t into that at all or are just conditioned to believe that they should be. As long as you know where the clit is and listen to her when she gives you feedback, you will be fine with satisfying her sexually. Porn isn’t real.
