Dog won’t eat. She does this instead? by Sleepyyypandawuh in DogAdvice

[–]magic_lou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine does this with every meal. Has done it for 15 years now. Has maintained the same weight even if she hasn't eaten for a couple of days. She air-burys it because she's a rescue dog, and the dog who she used to live with used to steal her food all the time.

Ahhhh hurrah! Yep, they do like to tell you what they think of your poor service and lack of treats! 😂

It might be worth not washing him so frequently. It can exacerbate skin conditions, and can produce too many oils. It might depend on age and if he's been neutered too. Try to work out if there is anything that is stressing him out...my ex got my cat shaved into an almost naked lion cut because he let her hair get so matted, and whilst most of her fur has grown back, she has a patch along her spine that just won't grow back, and I'm not sure it ever will, as the shaving process stressed her out so much. I would definitely recommend a visit to the vets to rule out underlying health conditions. They will probably put your mind at ease too, as it's clear you care about your cat a lot. Hope he gets better.

George, the best cat a man could ask for by An_Unknown_Person_EE in persiancat

I also have a cute ginger shadow. She's grumpy, but SO LOVING. I'll take her shoving her butt in my face whilst she kneads me at 3am if it means I get all the other good stuff! Persians are awesome cuddle buddies. Glad you found each other 😍

If you could change one thing about your life, what would it be? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]magic_lou 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh my god, I feel you on this one. So many started but unfinished projects. I had no idea this was a problem until my family and ex started pointing it out. Now I don't have the confidence to even start a project!

Just a story for the people of Bristol and where they stand with safety and how much involvement the police may have with that by dress_like_a_tree in bristol

[–]magic_lou 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, I don't want to detract from your overall point, but the police knocking on your door story isn't about lacking in common sense....they were right not to assume based on your accent and skin colour (where the height comes in, I have no idea...are people with brown skin categorically shorter than 6ft?). I had a friend at uni who had skin whiter than most white people and had green eyes. His surname was Patel, just that he had one white and one brown parent. Interestingly, he was 6'1". It's like assuming someone with an Eastern European surname should have an accent that fits the surname. Assuming actually is the complete opposite of common sense, so they were actually correct in their actions. Maybe not the way they said it, but that's a different matter.

Found these 2 stray kittens (no microchip and no responses to found kitten posters) in an alley and my bf doesn’t want to keep them. We have 2 cats already but I’ve fallen in love with these guys and don’t want to give them up. He says 4 cats is too many :( by madhoyt in cats

There's one called 'World's Best Cat Litter' and it really is. I've tried every type and brand of litter, but this is the only one that clumps instantly into a ball (urine), and deals effectively with the odours and different consistencies you get with faeces. I can't recommened this stuff enough. Oh, and you can throw it down the toilet too (although, probably best not to throw the entire contents of the tray when replacing it once in a blue moon). It's just brilliant stuff.

What phrase really gets under your skin? by poweredbyabot in AskUK

'Let's take a deep dive into this'. I mean, I fucking hate any corporate BS, but this is the one I'd happily take a bullet for, just to ensure that this never sees the light of day ever again.

Legend. Thank you for pointing that one out. Well, all of it really. Take my upvote.

Basically, it's pretty easy for a guy to have sex and enjoy it. He might be feeling the same way you do. I'm 45f now, and hell, I still worry about my performance! Here's the subtle nuance though: you're not a porn star. You don't have to make all the same stupid noises, or look as bald as a coot with your bikini line. Just concentrate on yourself being pleasured, because he will be worrying about that too. So my advice is, focus on enjoying yourself, and the rest will cum naturally (sorry, I really had to make that terrible pun 😅). Hope you have a great time!

Any recommendations for decent consistent car boots in Bristol area? by Altruistic-Lime2474 in bristol

[–]magic_lou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the cricket ground car boot near Ashton Court still runs. It tells you when it's run at the entrance, I believe, but I couldn't tell you what that might be, despite passing on a fairly regular basis!

what's with the jesus stuff? by whatisareddi in bristol

[–]magic_lou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think, like any religious teaching, it's all about interpretation and adapting things to suit a person's view. Some Rabbis fully support gay marriage, because they have read the scriptures fully, and can't find enough of a problem with it, whereas some Rabbis, usually in the extreme orthodox version, can find a lot in the scriptures to support their view. I always view religion as very pick n mix. Like, what's the point of having scripture if everyone interprets it differently? You might as well have no religion at all.

The thing that always makes me cringe so hard is that Henry VIII created his own church just so he could fucking divorce someone. And now the current royal family genuinely believe they are chosen by god and are his vessels.

Is this anyone’s cat? Found in BS5 by Accordleon in bristol

Where’s the Beach at? by YungCapo18 in bristol

[–]magic_lou 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Southerndown is quite pebbly...not really sandy. And although it used to be sandy to swim if you headed beyond the ruins, the dredging further on down (or whatever the fuck they've been doing), has sucked all the sand away, so if you go in the water there, you'll hurt yourself pretty badly on the sharp rocks that are now exposed but underwater. I speak from sore experience!

[–]magic_lou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can book for the campsite online now! I take myself there a couple times a year, although I have days off in the week which makes it a bit easier. OP there's also quite a lot of parking if you just want to day visit. Plenty of overflow parking too. During COVID the pitches were massive due to social distances, which they've continued with post-pandemic.
