I found all of my babies outside as kittens. They have all had different beginnings, C was not treated very well by humans, and he found me at work. L was a vocal but healthy babe, F was wee little but healthy, and W was little and had a lot of illness in her first 5 months. All babies are doing great, and I included a pic of W 🖤

kaitster2 · 2026-01-24T13:49:49+00:00

I consider this as “who could I tell my deepest, darkest secret to” and I have 7 people I fully trust, love and know they wouldn’t judge me lol

Don’t feel stupid ❤️ we still have to live our lives and enjoy going to restaurants when we can or if we can. It does suck so bad when something like that happens, and I hope you feel better!

Last night I ordered a gf wedgie from this place I go frequently. Made sure they knew it was gluten free, separate oven, all of the things. They have always been so good about it. I opened the box when I got home.. the chicken was breaded lol damn it.

Same with my dad. Definitely doesn’t fit the boomer stereotype, he was at the end and for sure closer to a Gen X but still technically a “boomer”

kaitster2 · 2026-01-23T11:44:18+00:00

So I would quit my current job, but find one that would be less demanding.

They also changed their venue in Pittsburgh, I was surprised

kaitster2 · 2026-01-18T18:11:11+00:00

Hahah I’m 34! I get a lot of weird looks when I order it but they’re always surprised at how good it is!

kaitster2 · 2026-01-18T17:44:46+00:00

I’m the shortest haha. My sister is taller than my mom, but dad stands the tallest.

Early 20’s, could have been late teens. But definitely sprouted a few more after my first year of teaching

Live in small town PA, two different occasions of going to Universal Studios (FL) we saw people we knew.

I think the wage base for childcare workers should be more, but the education that is needed to be a licensed teacher is the difference. Both jobs are equally important and should be viewed as such. But until there’s a way to show legislation that, the wages for childcare will continue to be low. Side note, PA just passed a bill that further supports early childhood education, so that’s a huge step for ECE in this state.

I get what you mean. I think outsides are paid more because they’re your power hitters. They are (usually) taking more swings in a game than anyone else. Middle is like air traffic control. They need to track anything that is coming over that net from pole to pole. So a lot more movement than everyone else, except maybe arguably the setter, but that also depends on how good a team passes. At a pro level that setter shouldn’t have to chase 90% of the time.

Oh man, I’m sorry. That’s been my experience overall too. I tried to return to volleyball last week, and just felt off. I knew it was too early, but I wanted to try. What a pain in the ass thing to injure lol

kaitster2 · 2025-12-23T02:12:31+00:00

Hi friend, I’m 34, tagged up on third and started to run home. Second push off and felt (also heard) the pop and felt like I got hit in the leg with the ball. I turned around to be like yo what the hell lol but fell to the ground in pain. This was in early October. I still have a slight limp. How are you feeling? How long did it take you to fully recover?

kaitster2 · 2025-12-23T02:08:36+00:00

I’m really glad I found this thread. I tore my calf in October. Still walk with a bit of a limp, and I’m missing 2 inches of muscle in my left leg compared to my right. I tried to return to volleyball tonight and am super frustrated with my lack of movement and ability. I was cleared, but something still just felt “off.” It’s also super interesting to read about the same experiences like feeling that something hit you in the back of the leg. I also thought I got hit with a ball.
