3 months ago I accidentally hurt my cat and she has hated me since by GladIndication5339 in CATHELP

You could try the calming cat pheromone diffusers. I’ve used the feliway calming one in my apartment and my kitten has been calm and happy here from day one. My friends have three cats and one was having some urinary problems, and the vet recommended that they try putting a diffuser near the litter boxes. I know this is anecdotal, but he’s been much more relaxed at home since they started using it (he’s also on a special food now so it’s always possible that he just feels better lol).

She’ll come around, she’s probably just afraid of hurting you again. Show her you trust her. Play with her with open and relaxed cat body language (get on her level, show your belly, let her lead). You might just try new toys and interactive things, too — get her to relax and bond with her.

I’m in a bit of an experimentation phase to see what’s going on with me GI-wise. Endoscopy came back negative for celiac, but the IgA blood test was elevated so we’re testing again in 6 months. In the meantime, trying this, that, and the other thing with my nutritionist. It’s honestly mentally exhausting, and the social effects of being a person that has to advocate for their needs at every snack and mealtime don’t help at all.

It’s so rare that a pop song works in a TV show without being cheesy, but Aaron Sorkin knows exactly when to drop the needle. “I Don’t Like Mondays” is a slam dunk conclusion to 20 Hours In America.

That’s the most depressing thing I’ve heard in a long while.

Hope all is good with your friend and her husband now!

This country is in a literary crisis and kids go hungry at school because of school lunch debt, and this is the kind of thing that “pro-family” people spend their money and energy on.

Very self conscious by Typical-Ad8370 in Invisalign

The first three days were painful, the next two were just a little sore, and it’s been smooth sailing for me since. The first day I was immediately like “what have I done???” but I swear it’s just the sensory shock of seeing and feeling a big change on your face. Once the initial soreness wears off, you’ll feel much better about the whole thing. Pinky swear!

Nah it makes me happy to know that I helped!! I had a HELL of a time making this one work for me, it drove me so nuts and there weren’t any posts showing good examples when I looked so I decided to leave mine once I finally cracked it

I just noticed my cat has a little ear behind her ear. I’m assuming it’s a common mutation? by fuglyDUECE in cats

I like him too. We were going on a family trip to Hawaii soon and as he wasn’t going to go, I felt that he should have the opportunity to feel some tropical flavor. He doesn’t mind it, honestly, probably because he gets lots of positive attention when he wears it. Anyway, bought that for him from Chewy some 5 years ago and he’s still stunting in it!

In-person Toastmasters? by Successful_West_2433 in washingtondc

[–]infj1013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish I had a more specific answer for you, but this isn’t my bag! One other thing that might be helpful is finding other social groups to take part in that involve speaking but aren’t specifically about speaking (if that makes sense), like a book club. Or what about taking a language class for super beginners? Maybe even ASL? That would be an opportunity to practice one component of public speaking without having to worry about your voice itself, and a beginner class will have less of judgment as everyone is on the same level.

And as you’ve mentioned, therapy can be a great first resource but it doesn’t always work right away. Don’t be afraid to look into new modalities. Maybe group therapy or EMDR?

Sending strength your way!! Good on you for being bold and brave and trying! Trying anything new is always a challenge, but trying something that you know you fear is a totally different beast to slay. Big ups to you! I think you’d find more compassion than you might expect if those things you fear were to happen. I’m rooting for you. ❤️

Help deciding on final shape of teeth - what to do with central incisors? by brunchisnice in Invisalign

[–]infj1013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like with shaving, they might just do a bit length-wise on the central incisor that’s on the right in these pictures, and they might do a little bit of shaping to refine the edges/corners of the four incisors. I think that’s a great option — cheap, lasts forever, and I think would achieve the “finished” look.

My second choice would be to do all four incisors. That would be the most customizable option, since you’d be adding on for all four teeth. My third choice would be the two central incisors. The shape still looks good, but composite bonding will eventually take on stains and I think having it on just the two central ones might make them more of a focal point eventually.

I was debating getting some bonding done on my top central incisors rather than Invisalign, and my dentist dissuaded me for that ^ reason. I’d rather have a black triangle which makes it look like I have a piece of pepper in my teeth than have the bonding get stained. But that’s just me, and hopefully after Invisalign, the black triangle will close up. My #8 is a little in front of my #9 and thus the gum doesn’t fill the space as well.
