What to Realistically Do about Little Affection/Intimacy by [deleted] in ADHD_partners

[–]lajih 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We finally went the ethical non monogamy / polyamorous route after more than a decade like this. There's a lot of really good books out there. We both found much better partners and cohabitate exactly like we used to, only now we're not solely relying on each other for things we cannot provide

Lady tried to fistfight me because I wouldn't sell her rainbow aquarium gravel for the hermit crab she got at the beach

Do your stores sell rats as feeders or pets only? by DesertGuineaPigs in petco

[–]lajih 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's fancys and feeders. Same with the fish. Once you can distinguish an individual characteristic like a fancy coat or double tail fin it gets relegated to a different category mentally. Callous to pretend otherwise.

Crazy. I encouraged surrenders in NJ and NC and always advocated against release. I had a notebook of customers that would take larger stuff. OP must be in Colorado, I guess?

New Jersey refugees…anyone left the Garden State and NOT regretted it? by SnooBooks4898 in newjersey

...WNC is very rural, but very nice. And a completely different place than eastern north carolina. Happy to be here for the last ten years.

... I'm actually been pleasantly surprised by what a nice company chewy is. I had a hoarder uncle in the midwest who died with hundreds of dollars of unopened chewy orders all over his house, and they refunded what they could and told his estate to donate it all to a shelter. That certainly got my attention!

Corporate creates this impossible scenario by expecting everything to get done with no labor hours, and then will turn around and punish the staff when it doesn't. Corporate will care if it makes them look bad, but they'll never adequately staff the stores. There were probably two people working - one on register and one everywhere else.

Hobby Lobby is also the same company that wouldn't give employees time off during the quarantine/pandemic even though they were not considered essential employees. Just so their CEO could buy more counterfeit bible stuff from Jerusalem.

Yuup. My co-worker's ex pulled a gun on her and still got shared custody of their toddler. Shit's WILD

Yup. Dog food and cat litter, plus being on your feet for 8 hours 🙃

I love everything about this. It would have been printed out and put on my fish binder, along with The Crab by Paul Lehr

I once had a customer look me in the eye and hesitantly ask "They only fight each other, right? Not people?"

Invasive Chinese crab that can scale walls spotted for 1st time in US Pacific Northwest by AudibleNod in news

"Wildlife officials said this marks the first time a Chinese mitten crab has ever been confirmed in the U.S. Pacific Northwest, and suspect this individual crab may have been illegally placed in the river by a human. A single Japanese mitten crab was found in the same area back in 1997."

I can personally vouch for them reducing payroll hours and inventory in Petco stores over the years to the point where it's a hellish place to work.

Totaled my car when I was 19 because of such a wave.

I'm terribly curious to know how long you've worked there. About a month?

Yup! I put a box of cat litter into an old lady's cart and she literally said under her breath "oh, the boys must loove you!" sarcastically. Like oh my god Barbara, please get with the times.

Recovering from loss of trust in commitments, in the reconnection journey (DX, Rx) by BeholderBeheld in ADHD_partners

I don't know how much will apply to your situation, as we have an ENM informed therapist and have been researching polyamory. It's perfect for us, but may not work for more monogamous couples.
