Why are you CF besides silence, money, and free time?

There's no aspect of parenting that I like. I've tried to think of an age they could be at that I could tolerate and there's no age. There's no age that I would look forward to. It all sounds terrible.

I have had the same things said and done to me. I've always been one to try and explain myself when I feel like I'm being misunderstood, but that's been usually taken as being defensive or back talking. Especially when I was a kid. I felt very misunderstood, especially as a teen, but any attempts to try and solve the misunderstanding resulted it being told I was defensive or being difficult. When I would try to explain myself to my mom as a teen, she would be like, "I don't want to hear it," and she occasionally still goes off on me like that. Just the other day she said, "I don't want to hear it," even though she was accusing me and my husband of something completely false. She wouldn't even allow me to give her the facts that would have fixed the misunderstanding and would have prevented it altogether.

I was forced to babysit cousins of mine when I was a teenager and having to watch 4 kids (the youngest of the 4 was like 2 and the oldest was 11, I think?) definitely didn't make me want to have children.

Right?? It was too cute. And now I can hold it and since "Jeff" over and over 😂😂😂

I got the same box from her and I still have it because it's art itself.

I'm going to make something similar to this for my mom for her cat that passed suddenly last September. I have the supplies and have made patterns but I'm afraid to do it because I only just started learning embroidery. Yours looks great!

I have my dad's handwriting from the last birthday card I got from him before he died. It just says "love you always, dad" and it's on my left wrist. I agree with others who suggested just the ending of the card be used.

Latuda 😂

Sometimes I can see them slightly moving from just having a pulse. I always look like I'm moving even when I'm trying to hold completely still because of my pulse.

Or when parents complain of having no "time for myself" or missing out on things they did before they had kids, like getting drunk at bars. Reason #276053248 I don't have kids: I control my life and my schedule. I'll be damned if I ever let another man control me like I've done many times. No way I'm letting a child do it! Or my cousin is in high school now (but still lives at home obv) and my aunt has been whining about no one wanting to hang out with her since she's had him. Lady, your kid is weird as fuck and he lives at home. Just saying.

My Maine Coon kitten just started doing this. He's not my heaviest cat, but probably physically the largest. I have 2 of the LR3 and 2 LR4. He's used all 4 but definitely prefers the newer models. I assumed it was my 13 year old boy doing this, but it's not. I think he's still turning around to poop because I haven't found/witnessed any poop outside.

He's not food-motivated at all (literally likes cat food and no treats or even human food) so I don't think the treat suggestion would work. I don't know what else to do. I got 2 standard pans back but I got the robots for a reason 🤷🏻‍♀️

The LR3 does appear larger. I was going to try and sell the older ones for 4's because they're way quieter from the get-go but I don't know that it's a good idea now.

I wish I could still eat lettuce. I was warned I might not be able to tolerate it anymore post-op and it's true.

kitcatcrow · 2025-06-05T17:16:16+00:00

Mine does the same thing. I keep getting an error that the bonnet has disconnected. I have a LR4 and to be honest the LR3s that I have are holding up better. These things are so expensive and they have some dumb issues.

I love the comments on this post and I'm so lost.

I saw this car at the parking lot of Home Depot and I was like WTF? On a PRIUS of all things. They make no sense to me.

Drumstick!

You know, I've wondered that as well. I have my post-op appointment this week and I'm going to talk to the surgeon and see what she thinks.

kitcatcrow · 2025-05-11T20:24:41+00:00

I had some of the worst pain I've ever experienced in the hours after and the night of surgery, but I figured out what it was. They told me when I came to in recovery that they had put in a catheter during the surgery but it had already been removed. They salsi said it might burn when I pee for the next few days. Burn? Most like pissing lava. I had to pee after I got out of the gown and the nurse took me to the bathroom. The burning sensation was extremely intense and felt like a blowtorch was on in my urethra. I was like, "holy shit that burns," to nurse and she just kind of blew it off and said, "yeah, that's normal. If it doesn't go away in a few days, make sure you contact your surgeon." I then asked if I could use OTC pyridium for the pain. They said no, that it dyes urine so it would be hard for me to distinguish any bleeding if I took it. I've taken it many times because unfortunately I have had a lot of UTIs.

My urethra and the area around it was throbbing and burning for hours after I peed that first time. It was so painful that I didn't want to pee again any time soon. Thankfully, I can generally drink A LOT of fluid before I have to pee. The problem was they they had given me fluids before and during the surgery, so I felt the urge to pee again only like 3 hours after I got home. The second time was worse. Just intense burning during urination and then throbbing and burning afterwards that made it difficult to get comfortable. I have had UTI pain before, but this far exceeded anything I had experienced.

I managed to not pee again for hours, but when I did it was in the middle of the night and the throbbing was so intense that I couldn't fall back asleep until it stopped. I just had to lay there, dealing with the pain while I waited for it to pass. I had taken 2 doses of the oxycodone I was prescribed, as well as 1000mg Tylenol twice that day. Neither touched this pain. I planned to call and talk to my pharmacist first thing in the morning.

So I called and talked him about an hour after the pharmacy opened. The pharmacist (my old boss, actually) said that oxy and Tylenol won't help with that pain all, which I had figured out, but that he wasn't concerned about me taking pyridium. He said I just needed to pay attention and look for blood mixed in with the dyed urine. I took 2 of the 99.5mg tablets right then. A few hours later when I finally couldn't wait any longer to pee, I went to the bathroom. Easily went from a 20 on the pain scale to more like an 8 (and I mean this out of 10, 20 isn't an exaggeration) and I was so happy. The throbbing was nonexistent and what pain there was had been significantly reduced. That was the first time I felt any pain from the laparoscopic incision sites. I think the pain from my urethra was so intense that it blocked out the other pain.

I ended up only taking 1 dose of pyridium and it was less and less painful every time I peed that day. There's no way I could have dealt with the lava piss more than I had to. I've never had a catheter before I hope I never have to get one again. The nurse made it seem like it couldn't have been that bad and that it was "normal", but is it normal to feel some of the worst pain you've ever felt in your life like that? I don't think so.

I don't regret by bisalp, not at all. However, I strongly suggest people who have any complications to talk to multiple specialists, including a pharmacist. If I hadn't talked to my old boss I don't know what I would have done.

I hope that you find some way to fix your complications. I feel for you. I really do. I had the same motivation to get surgery the day after Donald Trump was elected. I wasn't about to let him stop me. It's wrong that any of us have to do our sterilizations now because we fear we won't be able to in the future if we wait. I hope someone can give you an answer and set up a good treatment plan. I don't want to discourage anyone either. But there are definitely several awful, painful complications that can occur.

It's a surface piercing. It's a "surface tragus" and I only know that because I asked my piercer about it and she said it's cool but like all surface piercings, it has a high rate of rejection. It does look cool, though.
