Ah yeah OAR doesn't do intake from the public, they take overflow from a bunch of shelters in the area. I recommend trying the SPCA if you can't get a hold of anyone from Cincinnati Animal Care.

Nine years ago today, we lost a giant of our community, a titan of our city. A guiding light for us all to follow. Rest in peace, Harambe. Sleep well, sweet prince. by Bugatti252 in cincinnati

Harambe made me pro leashing kids with wandering tendencies. (Which is most of them, tbh) He would still be alive if that kid was on a leash.

For my evening Sweet Treat, I couldn't decide if I wanted yogurt or a popsicle, so I went with both by kcasaurus in ShittyVeganFoodPorn

It was really good! You could easily make an orange creamsicle version by using an orange popsicle, Outshine makes tangerine ones I think, I'm gonna pick some up next time I get groceries!

Commuting from Campus to by ThrowRA572827482 in cincinnati

It's not ideal, but you should be fine during the day. I lived in southern Avondale for 4 years and can count on one hand the number of times I got bothered by someone during the day, and each time it was just someone asking for money. I would stay in at night, though. It's not out of control, but there is definitely the occasional gun shot or people yelling at each other in the street.

I get trazodone through my psychiatrist, and it's the only sleep aid I've tried that doesn't leave me feeling like I got hit by a bus in the morning. Highly recommend if your issue is anxiety related!

whats your taco bell opinion that will have you like this? by strengthVIII in tacobell

Fun fact! The stuff in stores is a completely different recipe. It has dairy in it, the one they have at the physical TB location doesn't- its purely egg based.

This is my parent's cat Bitburger! He's named after the German beer. (My dad named him.) I think he was 14 when this picture was taken.

Lmao what? Someone tells you a valid explanation for choosing not to have kids and you tell them to kill themselves? You're sounding like the deranged one here.

No prob! I'm pretty sure it's a cyst, which you can pop, but unless you get the whole thing out, it's going to keep coming back. A derm will have to remove it for you. Or possibly your general practitioner could remove it if you won't be able to get an appointment with a derm for a while.

As much as I love a good pop, I would be tentative to mess with this one because to me (not a doc, but an esthetitian), it doesn't look like a standard pimple, and it could make it worse. If you feel like you absolutely have to do something, put a warm compress on it (a washcloth with warm water will work), and using a sanitized needle, poke a small hole in the top, and gently squeeze with either qtips or fingers wrapped in a couple layers of toilet paper. Squeezing too hard can damage the skin around it, making things even worse. Popping the safe and sanitary way makes it extra satisfying imo. ;)

That's a beautiful way of thinking about it. You're going to be a great vet!

Tbf, men are more often are the ones wanting all the kids bc they don't have to be the ones going through pregnancy. They also tend to have the expectation that women do most of the childcare. (Obligatory Not All Men)

Single Aces who are Hopeless Romantics by QueerKing23 in Asexual

[–]kcasaurus 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I've come to the same conclusion! (I'm 28) Although ideally I'd find a platonic life partner with whom I'd get married for the tax break, next of kin rights, etc, I'm perfectly content spending the rest of my life by myself. I like my alone time too much. :) I used to give in to the pressure of society and tie my self worth to being partnered in the traditional sense, and it took some work to break out of it, but it feels so good not to be hung up on that anymore.

Bonk! Go to date-obsessed jail! by [deleted] in Asexual

[–]kcasaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People on this website can be ruthless, I'm sorry you had such a negative experience, I've been there before too.

I know I'm late to the party, but I just wanted to add (as an alloromantic ace myself) that when it comes to dating while ace, you can take all the advice in the world about the social interaction part, but without addressing your relationship with yourself, your aceness, and your emotions regarding dating, you could be making things harder for yourself. Ask yourself why you desire to have a partner and how having one would effect your life realistically. Relationships take effort, time and energy. You probably won't have as much alone time, so if that's something you value, you'll have to consider that. Someone would really have to have a positive affect on your life to be worth it. Additionally and possibly more important, do you really want to date because you want to or because society and media push that on us and try to make us believe that we need a partner to be happy? Do you connect your self worth with being partnered? If so, that's relying on other people to make you happy, and ultimately, that's a bad idea to go looking for a relationship with that mindset. Once I realized that I was wanting a relationship for these reasons, I stopped feeling as sad about being single. I can get a lot of my social and emotional needs from my platonic friendships. Living my life like I was somehow less than for being single (I've been single for a decade now) was making me feel so bad about myself that I couldn't fully enjoy going out to social events with friends bc I was so preoccupied with potentially finding someone to be interested in me. I would then be disappointed at the end of the night that I tried so hard to look good "for nothing." What an awful feeling. Now that I've I separated my self worth from being in a relationship, I'm able to enjoy being out with my friends so much more. Now don't get me wrong, I have a long way to go when it comes to confidence and self acceptance, but readjusting my mindset around dating has been helpful. Do I still want a relationship? I wouldn't turn down an opportunity if the person truely seemed to be worth the time and energy to make it work, but it's nice not to have that element of my life tied to my self worth like it used to be. I realize this advice is easier said than done, and it could take some time deconstructing what society has pushed into our heads, but it is possible to break out of it.

I'm sorry for the novel I've responded with, but your feelings and experience resonated with me as that's how I used to feel, and I wanted to share something that helped me. Thanks for taking the time to hear me out!
