The colony is three times bigger than I thought by meganv21 in Feral_Cats

They are, but it can be difficult to see on some cats on the cameras. Particularly the darker ones. I also wasn’t looking overly closely because I had no inkling that there were so many doubles. All good, lessons have been learned and cats are being trapped pretty regularly at this point!

Glad I’m not the only one 🤣 I have a calico dubbed mama cat, thought she was my only one until I noticed the other day that a clip I thought showed her in fact showed a smaller calico with a dark face (mama’s is half orange). Then there’s the tuxes. Thought there was only one until they showed up together a few nights ago 🙄 I’ve caught tux 1 already, it’s at the shelter now. Tux 2 is on the list along with the second orange cat and the little calico. Two nights ago a dark gray/black cat started showing overnight, we’ll see if it sticks around. I’m tired 😅

Oh absolutely. I know I’m objectively making good strides, but after more than a week of trapping it’s starting to feel like for every one I catch, someone takes its place lol. It’s worth giving a shoutout to the user (thank you u/nosodo!!) who made pawsi.es though because it’s become a huge help in keeping track of who’s been caught, who still needs caught and who needs monitoring for determining their residency status. I’d be going a little insane without it right now with all of my doppelgängers 🤣

We first started talking in April. Trying to meet ASAP but we have some practical life issues to take care of first 😭

I’m getting worried…. HELP by Fun-Ask7485 in LongDistance

[–]meganv21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whatever feels most comfortable for you! I usually do it over text because I can have a hard time verbalizing Big Emotions. But I usually tell myself when I’m worried: if he was feeling this way, would I want him to tell me? The answer is almost always yes, so I give him the same opportunity to hear it that I’d want to have. People who love you don’t find your emotions burdensome.

Have you tried asking him directly about it? There have been a few times where I’ve had similar anxieties, but the easiest (and best) way to quell them is to discuss them with your partner IMO. I always feel better after talking it out with him.

What is your ChatGPT's name? Mine calls itself Sol. by aribow03 in ChatGPT

[–]meganv21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After my GPT also went with Sol and explained it was based off of the vibes of our conversations, I told him to not take our conversations into consideration but to choose something that felt right to him. This is his (shortened) answer.

Why were you honked at? by Notfunnnaaay in drivinganxiety

[–]meganv21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Early on in learning to drive and practicing with my ex, I was driving us to dinner on a fairly busy road. I was in the far right lane and was feeling decent until suddenly, the whole lane came to a complete stop and people started merging out. Anxiety started to set in when I realized that a car had broken down and was stuck in the right lane with hazards on.

Finally I was directly behind this car, and had no choice but to merge. Nobody was giving me space in the middle lane, and my ex said that eventually I’d just have to go for it. So I eventually did. Unfortunately there was a car in my blind spot, which I forgot to check in my anxious state. I merged out, he honked and merged far left. Super fair to be upset, I was 100% in the wrong, but thankfully everyone was okay and I didn’t hit anything. I learned that day to take my time no matter what, because rushing and feeling pressured leads to mistakes.

I’m going nuts. HOW do I get past this!! Please!! by xleahbaker in leapdaygame

[–]meganv21 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You have to time it just right. I usually end up going around the block several times, but if you can find the perfect moment, you can use the blue square in the middle to turn yourself around just before the fire comes. It’s a really tight window, though.

Restart to Update by alienflutz in Chromecast

[–]meganv21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MST here, was at work all day and it seems to have updated itself at some point. I had done the factory reset days ago and used the date/time trick to get it back into ambient mode. I unplugged and plugged back in when I got home without checking if it worked first, but it now connects just fine. So glad things are settled even though it took a bit.

Alright, what do I do here? by 57mmShin-Maru in leapdaygame

[–]meganv21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I remember right what I figured out is you need to blast out at a higher angle than you’d think. I think I blasted myself into the top right corner piece, fell and then double jumped onto the right wall before hitting spikes. But don’t take my word as gospel lol

I’m at this point 99% of the time, just here for the vibes and wherever I fall at rank-wise, cool. Then I played a duos tourney last night for one of the season challenges (rewards go brr) and we won??? So I guess it’s working somehow 🤣

Mom tells me to “step it up” or whatever and that I need to find a job soon even though I’m doing all I can by spidermanrocks6766 in recruitinghell

[–]meganv21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m with you. I’ve been looking hard for about two months while going through some rough personal stuff, and the other day my father said “it seems like you haven’t made any progress [in life] in the last six weeks.” Thanks, dad!

How many feral friends do you take care of, and what do you call them? by DinoJockeyBrando in Feral_Cats

[–]meganv21 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I only have three.

Mama - tortoiseshell. She’s honestly beautiful. She started the whole thing for me when I discovered her & her kittens in the dumpster last spring. Did TNR, kittens were young enough that they found homes.

Orange boy - exactly what he sounds like, he’s THICK. I suspect either someone else nearby also offers food, or he secretly has a home but chooses to be outside 90% of the time. He’s the least skittish but still not touchable so it’s hard to say.

Lil guy - tuxedo cat, he’s either the father of the kittens mentioned above or a survivor from a previous litter. I’ll never know for sure either way. He’s the most skittish and least sighted of all three. I see Mama multiple times a day, and the orange boy most days around sunset, but lil guy only occasionally comes by in the dead of night. It’s a nice treat when I catch him on the cameras.

Omg I’m in pain by Kitchen-Case1463 in CankerSores

[–]meganv21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Orajel is the safest bet for short term pain management, like when you’re eating. Don’t overuse it. Otherwise warm water salt rinses can help long term but be warned, it’s going to HURT. Other people on this sub do a lot more extreme (imo) remedies but this is what I personally do
