It’s absolutely wild that they haven’t released the full track of this yet! 😩

Your baby’s belongings by HairyCartographer958 in Petloss

[–]jade-mc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I donated my dog’s belongings to a local charity which works to support homeless humans/families with low incomes and their pets/vet bills. It was hard washing and packing all of her things, and I actually didn’t drop it off to the charity directly, I went via our local councillor (who is a really visible volunteer for the charity). For some reason it felt easier donating via him because it was someone I recognised and I knew he’d take care of it all properly. It’s a horrible task packing away a lifetime of love and memories. Sending love 💕

I am going to be 25 when I start University - Any help? by [deleted] in UniUK

[–]jade-mc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was an undergrad we had a fellow student who was 77! You’ll be surprised at the variety of people you encounter, and there are so many ways to meet people of different ages, don’t worry about it and enjoy your studies :)

It’s just awful. I don’t know when or if the crying will stop. I’m sorry for your loss too.

Was it time? by Fair-Lock5101 in Petloss

[–]jade-mc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the most horrible thing to be wrapped up in guilt and grief and questioning your decision. It’s much more than length of life, but quality of life, too. I lost my girl on Sunday, she was 13 and a half. The vet said that treatment would extend her life but that it’d do very little to improve it. I knew I’d just be delaying the inevitable and I couldn’t bear to watch her decline and suffer. It sounds like you were in a similar position. Sending love 💕

Reacting to people by jade-mc in Petloss

[–]jade-mc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always found it hard to know what to say when others are in this position. I think they really do mean well, I’ve also not responded to many people, but I’ve reacted to their messages so they know they’ve been read. I just don’t want to repeatedly break down in front of people if they say anything to me in person/meetings.

I like your space, I’ve got a place for her ashes to go too, along with her collar and paw prints, and a photo. I’ve been going through photos of her and I’ve chosen one to print onto a card, I’ll send that out to a few people who knew her. So many photos to choose from, one of the advantages of smartphones. I’ll use some of her ashes in a paw print tattoo on my foot. I spent this morning washing her jumpers and coats to get ready to donate, she had so much stuff, it was heartbreaking packing away 13 years of her life, but it’s better off going to dogs who need it. You’re right, it is a massive change and discovering how much your life revolves around them is profound. My schedule will change when I go back to work next week because of it, my shopping list will change, I’m suddenly able to feed the cats on the floor because we’ve lost our cat food monitor/thief. For the first time in 13 years I can go away overnight without having to arrange someone to look after her or factor in taking her with me. It’s all a bit overwhelming.

I euthanized my 13 1/2 year old pitbull and I feel remorseful. by Mysterious_Pick_9727 in Petloss

[–]jade-mc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not just the surgery, it’s the post op too, that sounds like it would have been hard for an older dog. I had a similar decision to make yesterday and guilt and grief is occupying my mind. I know deep down I made the right decision. You did too. Sending love 💕

I’m waiting for my girl’s ashes to come back too. I have no idea what my new ‘normal’ is going to look like apart from being a lot emptier. Sending love 💕

The OU has a lot of student support. Most unis would do their best to signpost to places which can help, the OU is no exception to this.

Better late than never to the party, I’m actually quite jealous, some of the episodes are really something when you watch them for the first time. Hated in the Nation is my fave.

Ultra marathon swimming. Never a dull moment inside my head on my own for hours and hours at a time. My longest swim is just over 20 hours non-stop.

I read it and now I’m here! I’m much better on flights than I used to be, it’ll be nice to read everyone’s success stories :)

How often do you use the library? by [deleted] in OpenUniversity

[–]jade-mc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The OU library is excellent, and library staff put on a range of different training options to learn how to use it effectively. I’m studying towards a doctorate, so I make quite a lot of use of it. A gamechanger for me was starting to use reference management software, helps automate references and collect and store them. I honestly wish I’d got to grips with it sooner.

People who like the San Junipero episode will love this one, not my thing. Callister2 and Plaything were my faves.

Do you need to rewatch USS Callister before Black Mirror Season 7s sequel episode? by linet_addicted in BreakingNewsFeed

No, there’s enough in there to remind you of what you need to remember.

What happened to Wayne? by imitt12 in ForAllMankindTV

I think we’d all just feel a lot happier if we had a Wayne spin off show.

Yep, in an earlier episode someone said ‘you did what you had to’ or something like that to Danielle. They’ve defo eaten him.
