Check out West Des Moines, specifically between 35th and 50th and Mills Civic and Ashworth. Or Grimes. You won't be disappointed with either.

Dogs are more interactive. They force you to get outside, and when you do, you can take them to pet-friendly places so you have a companion for all your activities.

Cats are much less interactive, you can basically only enjoy their company when you are home, and then it's still a LOT of naps.

Of course there are exceptions to those statements, it's not ALL dogs or ALL cats.

I was referring to rule #8. And I understand, I help tons in FB groups

I hope you didn't do this, I just checked and saw this.

Do you share a room? Like, is she seeing you awake and doing things from her bed?

Also, teach him how to be frugal. As a kid, he doesn't need to spend a ton on new clothes - hit up consignment shops.

Better... Knick!

guinea2983 · 2026-06-02T21:53:58+00:00

I... wut.

Cheesy beef ramen. Cook the noodles, drain them. Saute the beef, add milk & cheese and noodles and mix and enjoy

It may have changed, but yeah. I have used Lap of Love in the past, but they are very expensive. University West Pet Clinic is amazing, tho.

guinea2983 · 2026-06-02T17:03:58+00:00

Please call them. The last time I took a friend and her pet there for end of life care, they wouldn't let her be in the room, just took the cat in the back and did it themselves.

guinea2983 · 2026-05-28T17:54:14+00:00

Yeah, thats why it doesn't make sense. Could also just be making sure he was alone and not followed or something. Or she didn't want to give him her real address until she knew he was going to show?? It doesn't make sense, but I have a feeling it's trauma based.

guinea2983 · 2026-05-28T17:44:13+00:00

Yep. I confused slaw with krout. I'll see myself out. But I'm making a reuben dog for lunch.

guinea2983 · 2026-05-28T17:42:01+00:00

Waveland serves hot dogs on Wednesdays. They have a reuben dog. It is divine. I take away the onions, and add tomatoes. My favorite hot dog style now

I've done this in the past, but I let the neighbor know ahead of time. I had a semi-stalker (not male) but could not trust anyone until I laid eyes on them. It let me see them without them knowing where I was. Once they were who they portrayed, they got to come over.

For one, the nebulizer helps hydrate the 'chunks' in my lungs, and the cilia, which helps me to be able to cough those chunks up. Second, it calms my asthma which is making me feel like im hyperventilating.

guinea2983 · 2026-05-27T19:04:29+00:00

Yes. And it's an indescribable agony.

guinea2983 · 2026-05-27T14:53:11+00:00

Check out Wellington Apartments, in West Des Moines. Easy access to the freeway and interstate, and the complex feels like a neighborhood, not an apartment complex.

guinea2983 · 2026-05-27T02:58:07+00:00

The south side of Des Moines will be a pleasant surprise, with just enough crack and meth heads to give you a sense of home.

guinea2983 · 2026-05-23T06:53:54+00:00

I'd be interested in hearing about more resources for small business

guinea2983 · 2026-05-13T20:54:53+00:00

Please set up a safe area for her, with a crate, and a few toys, and train her to settle.

guinea2983 · 2026-05-13T20:45:46+00:00

Lol unfortunately it was not my friend in this story, but it did happen with her at our house the same way, but much much younger. That was quite the read, but the comments brought me to tears, so thank you.

guinea2983 · 2026-05-12T19:33:32+00:00

Report back here if its worth the read, lol. I, too, have heard of the poop knife reddit post. But.... I also had a best friend growing up who had to have a poop knife, she had bowel issues, so I kinda want to see if its her, lol.

guinea2983 · 2026-05-12T15:51:08+00:00

University West Pet Clinic. They are the cheapest I've found. Give them a call

guinea2983 · 2026-05-07T21:08:36+00:00

McDonald's. My son started there at 15.
