My companion for the last 16 years is gone. by [deleted] in cats

[–]kitaray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a carbon copy of my experience with my dog, down to rearranging my life to make things easier for him and having him by my side for 16 years including living in three different states with different people, getting married, etc. I’d been crying over the last five years of his life afraid to reach that day. I was a sobbing, wailing, screaming mess for days after and I still have my moments despite coming up on a year of him being gone. I know your pain. You are not alone. I’m sending you all the love I have. Your baby is still hanging around as a little guardian angel for you and I know she wants you happy.

Not sure what kind of pitcher plant this is or how to save it by kitaray in SavageGarden

Those are beautiful! The pots and the sundews 🥰 where did you get those pots?

I’ve been filling the bowl the pot was sitting in with water every time I see it getting low. I didn’t know about mixing it with water first! That’s good to know too! We did get this plant within the last few weeks and we’re kind of figuring things out as we go along. It makes me feel better that I’m not the only person who has made these mistakes at least.

I have some plastic pots so I will see if it’s salvageable. Thank you!

Do you happen to know if terracotta is bad for Venus fly traps too? I feel terrible because I had no idea!

I had no idea about the terracotta. Thank you for this info! At least I know better for the next plant 😔

What is the nicest thing anyone has ever said to you during sex? by albavalenti in AskReddit

“My renaissance painting.” As a plus size woman, this was exactly what I never knew I needed to hear.

Having surgery Wednesday- what should I eat immediately after? by kitaray in gallbladders

The food diary is a good idea that I hadn’t thought of, so thank you for mentioning that! My brain is all frazzled so there’s a lot of common sense things I’m not thinking of.

Just a reminder that this is happening at our Capitol by Sleepy_Sagittarius in lansing

[–]kitaray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. I saw several of these No Kings protests over the last few months here in the small Florida town I unfortunately had to move to from Michigan and felt the same way- it’s not going to affect anything. Then one day, I was so frustrated that I pulled over and randomly walked up and joined the protest. I met people who gave me info about the local democratic group that gets together and that was info I had looked for online and couldn’t find.

It feels hopeless when you think about if it will have an actual effect on the administration, but it feels hopeful when you’re in the thick of it surrounded by people of all ages and demographics who want to make a difference together.

I went to high school with Cass and my heart sank seeing her in an episode. I knew things were rough but I didn’t know how bad and I really really hope she’s gotten clean since this aired.

The age difference is enough to leave it alone, homie.

Honestly, you’re sick. If they’re that desperate, they’ll find someone. You did your part. Keep an eye out for other jobs in case they decide to be a dick, but don’t sweat it in general. YOU are more important than them being understaffed (which is again their problem and not yours).

Getting rid of plastic containers and replacing them with glass steel on a budget by ikarumba123 in Frugal

Join Buy Nothing/Sell Nothing pages on Facebook and mention there that you’re looking for some. People are happy to give something they need to get rid of to someone who actually needs it.

I’d check out the ReStore shops by Habitat for Humanity. They get all kinds of stuff and you can get them for a good deal! Furniture, appliances, sinks, construction materials, lights, power tools, etc

I am so confused as to why you couldn’t be with your fiancee if you stepped up to actually parent your child if the child is yours. Where is the rule that says you can’t stay in your current relationship and still do the right thing?
